Northernlion on Bluey's unrealistic depiction of a father 

we're costco guys. of course we thank the librarian

The Avatar state but it’s NL entering the anaerobic state thinking of rage bait

librarian cooked with this one. I would never have believed what happens to Bluey’s dad without the video playing

Waiting for the hour long video essays on manic pixie dream dads.

It's funny how he started the Bluey's Dad bit as if it was bait he was crafting, then the spirit of fatherhood took him and he engaged in it for real.

Listen: I just appreciate that they introduce the concept of mommy and daddy being too hung over to play. I mean they don't out and say it, but we all know what "too tired after a new year's party" means.

6:40 That Bluey scene is so Mussolini-coded

those kids almost fucking waterboarded him with those water balloons

Bluey's dad doesn't have to have a meltdown to show he's human. They could honestly just show him getting sick and tired one time and the kids have to respect his boundaries. That would have the same effect.

Honestly he's kinda cooking though. An episode that starts with Bandit actually snapping at his kids before spending the rest of the episode showing him building the trust back up in healthy ways would genuinely be great kids television

Finally, an unrealistic depiction of a fatherattack in a laminated movie-show. Here's a little question for you: How much do you think a kilogram of apples should cost, realistically?

i’m sorry but the hammer in the thumbnail does not look like one 😭

im a massage therapist and a lady i used to work on everyweek first brought up how a lot of parents think this bluey cartoon is problematic and would tell me how unrealistic it was that the parents were portrayed to have all this time to play with their kids, and all I could think about was how I couldtn watch the Simpsons when i was a kid because Bart mocked God at the table

He discovered why Luna goes off on him randomly lmao

Holy fucking shit bluey show is literally torturing the dad like he sprayed them with cold water like a prisoner of war

blueys dad is competing for the librarians profiile pic at this rate. peppa pig better watch her ass

is there an episode where the kids get in trouble at school bc they're beating the snot out of their classmates the same way they do their dad

watch people unironically rallying against bluey and cite this clip lmaoo

The unparalleled genius of this man’s bait tweets hoLY

Bluey's dad giving the I am the one who knocks speech 💀

Anyone has the clip of NL talking about how he uses his aura as a silverbald gorilla to discipline Luna?

Problematic bait post: umm how come people will tip their landlords but not their favorite stream clipper when the latter does so much more good for society???? Give the librarian a few bucks people!

We're all here to study jokes from the eggfather to recycle later.

They could have just made the packaging out of paper or cardboard, but they'd rather make everything out of plastic and then stamp "please recycle me" on the side because it cuts costs by 1 cent per unit.

"stfu, i've been down in the trenches since you were knee high to a grasshopper" goes so hard, holy.

What the fuck I thought NL was insane then you showed the clip.

Can confirm. I have four kids (oldest is 11). All four of them beat the everliving fuck out of me and they love Bluey. Now, I'm no fancy-pants scientist and I'm sure the big heads in the think tanks would say that's all """""""ANECDOTaL""""""" but I'm thinkin' I see a correlative effect.

They definitely do more work to make Chili a fleshed out 'person' who has anxieties, stress, is too busy with work sometimes, needs a break, etc. Bandit is kind of just, always on and never annoyed by it.

Hearing another dad validate my rants to my family on this is so refreshing

I knew he'd feel this exact way about that exact episode lmao

They need to give Bluey's dad a study where he smokes cigars and watches old westerns and the children aren't allowed inside

6:13 that’s so crazy I just finished this episode and changed a diaper at the same time 😂 NL is ride or die for daddy pig 😎

We have to look UP to our heroes, they can't be like us, they have to be perfect so we can always reach deeper to try and keep up.

Current discourse is that Bluey is woke because gentle parenting because they explain ideas to kids.

6:40 this is the kind of shit american revolutionaries did to royalist sympatizers i think nl has a point

Oh baby. Librarian once again coming to my rescue from a productive day

yeah I have daddy issues, what's your excuse?

chatter at the end hoooollllyyy +2

what are some other highly regarded northernlion clips? not familiar with the dood at all, but this clip was hilarious.

I think you’re jumping to conclusions a bit too quickly based on a single episode and a couple of out-of-context clips. If you watch much more of Bluey, you’ll realize that Bandit plays along with his children’s antics entirely willingly and with little to no regrets; he doesn’t just let them do whatever they want without any restrictions, ; and actually does put his foot down and say “no” when he needs to. I mean, to be fair, I will agree to some extent that Bandit can be a little bit too lenient with the kids in some episodes and perhaps should say “no” a little more often (this episode, along with ones like Ice Cream, Kids and Hospital are good examples), but as long as Bandit isn’t being seriously hurt or isn’t completely spoiling his children, he is still an S-Tier dad in my book. He was named Father of the Year in 2019 for a reason.

Horrifying behavior from the bluey dad abuse

As a childless adult that watches Bluey (I know 😅) watching him describe what happens to bandit in real terms actually has me pissing due to the fact that I NEVER considered how this would look and be like in real life. Like in the episode xellephone chili (the mom) literally tells the girls to remember to give their dad a bathroom break implying they haven’t previously and there is an episode where bingo hits him in the balls while sleep walking and he is forced to basically take care of two half awake children at once

I dont have children… just nieces and a nephew that love bluey.. I’ve seen far too many episodes because of this haha

He’s mad at bluey dad the same way AAA devs were mad at Baldurs Gate 3

Long have I said a staggering percentage of adult bluey viewers are fatherless and it really shows

They need a big brother that says no and everything would get solved

What is this thumbnail?! 😂

My opinion of the throwing away art thing Just keep that shit in a filing cabinet or a shoebox or something Its not like it takes up a ton of space and when the kids grow up it'll be fun to look back on

ryan the type of guy who says “who cares” then cares

THAT WAS KENDRICK LAMAR TYPE BURN AT THE END DAMN

ive actually read an article that made the exact same point lol

Chat is Miles Teller on Whiplashed and NL is crafting us into his master piece

Always the fuckin transitional mini references that take me out the most

my favorite ending for sure

As an adult this depiction of an unrealistically sweet and caring father makes me sad because my dad was haughty and aloof and very cold to me for most of my life lol

I liked the chat comment that said “CIA ass hairdresser”.

The best depiction of a family in children’s media is The Incredibles. Hands down.

For over a YEAR I've been the one guy screaming into the void to my friend's about my hate for Bluey due to how they treat the dad and boss him around/order him and the parents around, and the kids do NOT have a normal "child-parent" role established. This video is my Shawshank redemption, rain pouring over me as I finally feel redeemed.

6:38 had me cackling! NL was not exaggerating, they really beat the crap out of dad

Wait…. He’s blue!??!??

I have no kids, and I occasionally watch Bluey. I do have dogs, and they like it.

Just woke up and my ass read "decapitation" 💀

anyone have the clip of him singing that outro song? genuine piece of art

1rd

My man really be disrespecting Gravity Falls, smh my head.

“And you thought the word frotting was gonna break my brain” I’m weak bruh 😭

2st

We're already in the age of people posting that Bluey makes people feel ashamed and like they're not good enough as parents.

maybe the show is not as good as we trought it was

Hidden camera video of Bluey hitting his dad while he’s on the toilet ala Bam Margera in CKY

Lopez Patricia Martin Margaret Garcia David

Him being called 'Bluey's dad is problematic'? Really. They did the same thing in Dexter's Lab, Fairly Odd Parents, Cow and Chicken, etc. Very common.

Can't believe the first time I have seen any footage of Bluey ever is on a Librarian video. And my mom watches the show lmao

I needed this so bad, I feel terrible when I watch Bluey with my kid.

god NL is on FIRE

That hammer on a thumbnail looks dirty

2:16 I think this is the first time ever he got the quote right lmao

children abusing their parents is a big problem actually but if the feeling you get from bluey is : "Someone stand up for bandit this abuse is ridiculous" isnt it already doing what it can to prevent that or would a child not perceive that

i love when gravity falls catches a stray

Man I don't even wanna hear NLs take on MLP

Am I going crazy or did librarian post the first clip about him finding a bait but with the actual bait cut off, so it sounds like he's gatekeeping it.

crazy how nl can't comprehend how cartoons work

need to know where that outro came from

who the hell is northernlion?

1:47 is where the beef starts

Bluey discourse 😂

7:57 accurate reaction to Cavendish

The rare chat zinger at the end

i wish bandit was my dad

i hate that i love this

this show is insane

thank you librarin

shacks, here we go again

Librarian, please tell me where I can find the outro song!

What's the source for the ending song?

Bluey could be made instant realistic if the mom complained that the dad doesn’t pull his wait and has slacked on being a spouse.

Kids shows should contain characters which are good role models. Idc how perfect blueys dad is

"Bluey's dad is actually so good that I think it sets an unrealistic example for other dads that is impossible to live up to" reads just like the "Don't expect all other RPG's to be as good as Baldurs gate 3" argument other game devs were making.

Imagine thinking a cartoon dog dad made for children shouldn’t be aspirational
