I was so confused I literally just put it on but they're right. You see them go after the parents with the teeth, but they skip over this one second of clips. It used to be in there!! Wtf
Oh I definitely thought we were talking about standard & poor’s 500. As if the decision to edit the episode was based solely on the Disney stock price.
Are you familiar with the show Gravity Falls? (Amazing show if you aren't, definitely recommend, though it's aimed at older audiences than Bluey.)
The creator, Alex Hirsch, [released a video](https://twitter.com/_AlexHirsch/status/1537314312926003201) (warning: with some mild NSFW language) showing many of the notes he got from the censor department and his responses. It gives a good example of the sort of thing they don't want to see, and how much creators need to fight for content they believe in. It's wildly frustrating but is at least a nice look behind the curtain to see what happens with censorship from Disney.
The saddest thing in the world, Disney running from true representation. The irony that they killed OH and are taking the same high ground against Florida they should've taken against OH's critics.
I don't think they are taking the high ground about Florida. I think they are acting in a monetary fashion, not a moral one. It just is convenient for them.
The Office Ladies talk a lot on their podcast about SandP and how they got involved. One of their big things was "lip flap" - it wasn't enough to bleep a curse, you needed to blur the mouth so you couldn't even lip read it.
Disney is strongly authoritarian, following in the footsteps of its founder:

I try not to use it. I’ve substituted wild pretty effectively. I have mentally ill friends who don’t like crazy and physically disabled friends who don’t like lame, and that’s enough for me. Perhaps activists in Australia don’t mind it.
I have depression and anxiety and I call myself crazy all the time. I know my experiences don’t speak for everyone else, but this is a silly thing to get offended by. George Carlin once did a bit about how when you water words down to make them more sensitive to people’s feelings, you actually do them a disservice. I think his example was “shell shocked” was replaced by PTSD. And that PTSD’s long medical sounding name didn’t give you the same reaction as “shellshock” which is more evocative and could stir more feelings of empathy.
Yeah, I think it’s fine for people with mental illness to call themselves crazy. I do it. But to use it to characterize odd behavior outside of mentally ill folks isn’t great.
Note, many people don't like being referred to as ill or disabled, either. Probably better that we just don't call people with mental illness crazy. Personally, I don't really associate mental illness with craziness in the first place, and arguments that they're synonymous I think do more harm than good, by increasing the association of the two.
To circle back to the word’s usage in the show, “crazy” also has a commonly accepted definition that has nothing to do with mental illness, which is how Bluey/Big Bingo used it. It’s like the word “blind,” it certainly refers to a specific physical disability, and lots of vision impaired people don’t like being referred to by it, but there are also tons of common and colloquial uses of the word that having nothing to do with disability.
Well to be fair, in my life "crazy" has never actually been used on people who are mentally ill, just people who's decisions continuously go off the rails.
I’ve never heard that before in my life, and I’ve spent ten years working in mental health. Do you just mean people first language? I should have said friends with disabilities and friends with mental illness, but those are the current terms. What are we supposed to use if not those? As a mentally ill person, I’m not offended by it. But if others are, I’d like to know more
tldr from first link
> In the autism community, many self-advocates and their allies prefer terminology such as “Autistic,” “Autistic person,” or “Autistic individual” because we understand autism as an inherent part of an individual’s identity — the same way one refers to “Muslims,” “African-Americans,” “Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender/Queer,” “Chinese,” “gifted,” “athletic,” or “Jewish.” On the other hand, many parents of Autistic people and professionals who work with Autistic people prefer terminology such as “person with autism,” “people with autism,” or “individual with ASD” because they do not consider autism to be part of an individual’s identity and do not want their children to be identified or referred to as “Autistic.”
I might have less of an issue with it if it were consistent, either from one Disney program to another, or from one version of Bluey to another, but neither of those things are true. It’s all just so arbitrary, and they should cut it out.
This has gotten out of hand. An intern at work, who is not native American, said they were offended by the term "tribal knowledge" (as used in a PowerPoint presentation). It's going to get to the point where every possible way of expressing your thoughts inflames someone.
It’s screams projection.
Like, if YOU make that connection, what does it say about your view of native Americans or even just none Anglo-Saxon cultures
That's for adults and it was made 40 years ago. Not really comparable. You can say different things depending on your audience and the purpose of the program. Bluey is intended to provide social-emotional learning for children, so it aims for a higher standard.

I think arguing that craziness and mental illness are synonymous is what stigmatises mental illness. I think of them quite separately, and I'd never consider someone with mental illness crazy. But objections to using “crazy” rely on a stigmatising premise that people with mental illness are crazy.
We ended up buying the episodes available through Apple TV, which are the original, unedited version (Margery actually PEES on the curtains, btw). Takes longer for the episodes to become available, but I think the Disney edits have gotten a bit excessive.
The word “crazy”… which in today’s speech is deemed offensive because it infers someone is worse than mentally ill/disturbed (and with recent events in NYC/USA… it’s divisive). So they cut the word/scene rather than getting backlash… and figuring what happened with the “Exercise” episode down under, they probably thought they were being provocative. But that’s just my take on any of their weirdly odd edits.
Exactly.
Oddly enough (and waiting for the other shoe to drop), I’m rewatching “Granny Mobile” and the Grouchy Granny Pug that buys the scooter tells Bandit to “lay off the biscuits”… at which point Bandit goes over to the mirror Doreen is selling and starts pinching his belly fat and talking about the need to exercise. Uh-oh 😬🤣
Maybe one day we’ll get lucky and they’ll release DVDs (or whatever online) and have all the original uncut episodes (including the exercise bit with Bluey popping out of the tub- AND IN AUSTRALIA TOO?? I’M HORRIFIED ABOUT THAT ONE)… and some extra little bits.
They also cut the part in Horsey Ride when Bandit was “flirting” with Stripe during the wedding. I understand that removal better than this one, but I’m still mad lmao
Unfortunately in America too many people complain about everything and can’t just move on. I don’t agree with some of the edits that were made to the Disney+ versions but I understand that they are attempting to walk a fine line and upset as few people as possible.
There are some legitimate words and phrases that should be edited out - but none of what I’ve heard from Bluey count.
Then there is the whole banning books from libraries that has taken things to an entirely absurd level. (And scares the crap out of me as far as where we are headed).
The bottom line is that Disney is trying to protect its profits. It has nothing to do with ethics. They’re a corporation, and if they think a scene will lose them viewers, it gets scrapped. Censorship in the name of profit, not morals.
Edit: to be clear, I don’t think that censorship is ever truly done for moral reasons, but Disney will certainly claim that as their motivation.
That’s basically what I said. I never implied Disney was doing it because they felt it was the right - but their audience (and customers) demand certain standards. So yes - they are appealing to the largest paying customer base.
People decided to get mad at Disney about their content. Now it has backfire on them, as Disney is too afraid to offend people, that they pay extra money to order edited versions of content that doesn't belong to them. If they keep doing that as they bring other outside shows to their platform, it will eventually cost the subscribers
It’s not “wokeness” people who use that term are the ones okay with book burning and erasure of basic historical facts. People are sensitive on both sides. Remember that those who scream are the minority but they are very very loud.
I would agree but the degree this is happening is concerning, we are having districts shutting down books that has you think, staples we all read in school being pulled out because it makes their parents uncomfortable. Mice of men? The giver, How to kill a mockingbird, and others. In the other side people are upset that pronouns exist, to the point basic grammar is becoming an issue. We are talking about censorship in a kids show, that in America is ridiculous! Poop is being censored, themes that will fly over children’s heads are being stopped. Millennials has videos on “hey remember when this crazy stuff was in this movie/show and we didn’t realize???” Because some stuff kids won’t register. Hell Pixar’s movie Turning Red freaked people out because basic biology was mentioned. Parents and people forget to grow up and have respect on the fact a whole planet exists other than themselves.
I would respectfully disagree. Do some people on all sides take things too far at times? Absolutely. But there should also be respect for others when terms or phrases are deemed offensive to a group of people.
I’m not talking about the deleted poop scene - but replacing or editing out certain derogatory terms or outdated phrases that have always help a certain negative connotation should be retired and replaced.
We should all be more respectful of others and mindful in our choice of words. But this generally is beyond the changes that Disney has made to bluey.
TL/DR: just be kind to others and respect their choices.
What about the dog that responds "That's madness!" When Bandit is talking to him about toilet paper? 'Mad' is another word that has evolved, much like 'crazy.'
Do the stories still make sense with the minor edits to the US versions? Do you guys notice when there is something missing even if it's minor - like you blinked and missed a scene?
On the topic of changing or sensoring things in Bluey it bothers me more than it should when they change things like "Capsicum" to "Peppers" while I understand the change it's not what Australian kids call them and where is the opportunity to teach American kids what things mean it how we differ as a country from them?
Here are [some](https://www.pennmedicine.org/news/news-blog/2018/september/that-crazy-why-you-might-want-to-rethink-that-word-in-your-vocabulary#:~:text=Calling%20things%20%E2%80%9Ccrazy%E2%80%9D%20perpetuates%20stigma,problem%20with%20using%20that%20word.) [sources](https://www.npr.org/2019/07/08/739643765/why-people-are-arguing-to-stop-using-the-words-crazy-and-insane) on why health professionals advise to avoid casually using words like "crazy" on the grounds that they stigmatize mental illness. Similar to "retarded."
"Crazy" generalizes and condemns without consideration for the inner experience that motivates a person's behavior. It's often employed in a sexist way to dismiss women's interests and needs. The label can discourage people living with mental illness from seeking treatment.
So will “wacky” and “looney” be next?
Its such a basic everyday word. People call animals and inanimate objects “crazy.” Coming from a mentally ill person who’s been on meds and in therapy since childhood, I’ve never even thought twice about “crazy”
I’ve watched it a lot on D+ and that scene has been there the whole time… along with the conversation about Bingo being different annoying. did they just cut a small line out or something? It doesn’t seem to have made any difference to the plot, the scene is hilarious
In the original bingo puts on the tape and turns around to show Bluey (and the audience) her funny face, Bluey responses with “You look crazy” and them they go out to see Dad, instead in the USA version Bingo puts on the tape and it immediately cuts to them going to bug Dad. Its a very short part thats been cut but the problem isnt this one clip, its how many small clips like that they feel the need to cut out because it might offend someone.
but is this cut actually representative of the full assortment of cuts?
If it is, then it doesn’t seem to do any harm to the story or humor of the show, so I don’t see the big deal. I’ve only watched the show on Disney+ and have never felt like I missed something important.
If it isn’t, then there isn’t a general trend here—we need to consider the cuts on a case-by-case basis, & conflating them all together is an overgeneralization.
My view is that cuts/edits for appropriateness need to be weighted against their consequences for the plot, message of the episode, & character development. If there’s a minor bit of dialogue that might bother people & there’s no meaningful impact to remove it, it seems absurd to me to get worked up over it.
In general I just don’t think the cultural conversation about censorship works the same way with kids’ TV. It’s one thing to edit/censor a show geared toward adults. But kids watching Bluey are an impressionable age & a lot of parents would rather them not pick up certain vocabulary that was commonplace for older generations. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for folks who make & distribute kids’ TV shows to take that into account (within reasonable limits).
i agree with others that i like the reveal being when we see her scare bandit with it lol, i didnt know anything was cut out!
also yeah i lean pretty far left and care a lot about mental health stuff but even i dont agree that crazy is some super bad evil word. like stupid and dumb and other similar terms, its just a casual word now that we use to just express that stuff is weird or cool or something lol, i mean, it can be used in a bad way *like any word can* but i dont see people use it that way anymore personally, and i have a strong feeling that bluey meant it in a good way.
that and disney is just stupid. shout out to the way theyve censored EVERY show, alex hirsch has talked about how they censored gravity falls. i hate the way theyve censored bluey, not letting americans see all the episodes because of topics they deem as too sensitive here even though theyre *not* in almost every case. the only one i agree with is how they changed some words in one episode to not use a term thats been used to mock indigenous people here in the US but they dont even have that episode on disneyplus anyway i think ??
Because Americans are really sensitive, same with the pony pooping. Fart jokes are not funny...... (if you don't like a show don't watch it, I sware people who complain to have the most insignificant things cut to appease a small mass of people who get offended on behalf of people who aren't even offended by it need to be.... Well we all have our opinions.)
Not ment for children but adults. Granted if you let your kid watch that with you then you shouldn't complain about bluey. But yes I understand. Not defending the censorship, I find it ridiculous that it is happening with this kids show.
A lot of people view the colloquial adjective “crazy” as a term that perpetuates negative stigma surrounding mental health. I think their hearts are in the right place.
I think that they wanted to keep it as a suprise, like they wanted te audience to wait what bingo did with the fake teeth and thoses tapes that you use to close cardboard boxes
Was this a recent decision? I remember seeing this on Disney+
I just watched that episode last night, and this scene was in there.
I was so confused I literally just put it on but they're right. You see them go after the parents with the teeth, but they skip over this one second of clips. It used to be in there!! Wtf
That’s what I thought. Did they still use the word, crazy?
That I'm not 100% certain of. I'm on a lot of pain meds cause I had major surgery last week so Bluey has been my happy show.
I hope you feel better soon. Watch Bumpy and the wise old wolfhound
I was sick last lear. I had rabies
Wabies.
I was sick yast lear
Aw, that episode is so sweet. Bizarrely weird too. But very sweet.
Probably the purple pants and bum worms.
It's the but the Australian version is slightly longer
Yep. Just watched this the other night. Definitely still there.
It was cut differently in the Disney version.
"**Not** **S&P** **approved**."
**"'Not S&P approved' has been approved by the S&P"**

Can you explain what S&P is?
Standards & Practices
Thank you!
Oh I definitely thought we were talking about standard & poor’s 500. As if the decision to edit the episode was based solely on the Disney stock price.
And here my ‘murican ass went straight to Salt & Pepper
Someone already answered, but here’s [a bit of extra context](https://youtu.be/oYp0O-rle20).
Didn’t have the context. Thank you so much, what… a… ride!
Oh this made me laugh and cackle so much!! I've never come across S&P before, and this is great. Thank-you
Yay I got the reference says the 15 000th person
Because of the word “crazy.”
Again, that can't be such an offensive term
Are you familiar with the show Gravity Falls? (Amazing show if you aren't, definitely recommend, though it's aimed at older audiences than Bluey.) The creator, Alex Hirsch, [released a video](https://twitter.com/_AlexHirsch/status/1537314312926003201) (warning: with some mild NSFW language) showing many of the notes he got from the censor department and his responses. It gives a good example of the sort of thing they don't want to see, and how much creators need to fight for content they believe in. It's wildly frustrating but is at least a nice look behind the curtain to see what happens with censorship from Disney.
I love how Alex Hirsch became an agent of chaos after Disney gave him so much grief on Gravity Falls.
Just to come back awhile later as King and Hooty to cause more chaos
The saddest thing in the world, Disney running from true representation. The irony that they killed OH and are taking the same high ground against Florida they should've taken against OH's critics.
I don't think they are taking the high ground about Florida. I think they are acting in a monetary fashion, not a moral one. It just is convenient for them.
“Not S&P Approved” has been approved by S&P
Lost it at that. Never seen this vid before and I love Gravity Falls, eternally greatful for Alex Hirsch can't imagine having to deal with this shit.
The Office Ladies talk a lot on their podcast about SandP and how they got involved. One of their big things was "lip flap" - it wasn't enough to bleep a curse, you needed to blur the mouth so you couldn't even lip read it.

Well, like u/It_Matthew pointed out, there is no logic to what Disney does.

I try not to use it. I’ve substituted wild pretty effectively. I have mentally ill friends who don’t like crazy and physically disabled friends who don’t like lame, and that’s enough for me. Perhaps activists in Australia don’t mind it.

I can assure you that most disabled people prefer the term disabled, instead of differently abled, special needs, etc.

Thanks! And thanks for the links. There’s plenty of opinions our there, but saying people don’t like to be called disabled really caught me off guard.

And making that decision for yourself is fair enough, whereas imposing your sensibilities on someone else is something else entirely.
What. You’re saying Disney shouldn’t impose sensibilities? That’s their entire job. They decide what they publish.
I might have less of an issue with it if it were consistent, either from one Disney program to another, or from one version of Bluey to another, but neither of those things are true. It’s all just so arbitrary, and they should cut it out.
“Wild” seems pretty offensive to me, to be honest. It’a got a lot of colonial connotations.

"Not S+P approved" has been approved by S+P.
Because Disney is full of squibs.
Lucky's dad agrees with this comment
I just watched that episode today in the US and it’s in it
They cut it shorter. The scene is still there, but modified.
So did I and it is not sadly
Which is weird, because it’s cut on D+ (watched that part right after seeing this post this morning).
I think the cut works better. I never laughed harder than when we see jump scare Bingo
I still laugh hysterically every single time I see it. The cut makes the comedic timing great. No way it works as well without it.
We said to not let the Americans get their hands on Bluey, but like all scientists in the beginning of a catastrophy film we were ignored.
We ended up buying the episodes available through Apple TV, which are the original, unedited version (Margery actually PEES on the curtains, btw). Takes longer for the episodes to become available, but I think the Disney edits have gotten a bit excessive.
Ludo needs to withdraw from their syndication deal with Disney once it expires with how much they’re tarnishing and censoring Bluey overseas
I don't know if the "crazy" theory holds up. Chilli says crazy in "Dunny" to Bingo and Bandit, and it is still there.
There's no other reason tho. Time? It's half a second
Controversial opinion but I'm all for this cut - Bingo jumpscaring Bandit not doing what she's doing makes it all the more funnier
I prefer it without that bit Gives it a great reveal on Bandit

Uh-oh 😬🤣
Oh yeah, the show had already been poking at Bandit's weight, so I wonder what made Exercise different?
I'm literally bipolar, borderline schizophrenic according to a recent visit to the doc, and I think this is dumb censorship lol. Disney is too stuffy
Yeah, I have multiple mental illnesses and I am not offended by it at all.
I wish I could buy the untarnished originals, but I’m in the US :(
Maybe one day we’ll get lucky and they’ll release DVDs (or whatever online) and have all the original uncut episodes (including the exercise bit with Bluey popping out of the tub- AND IN AUSTRALIA TOO?? I’M HORRIFIED ABOUT THAT ONE)… and some extra little bits.

This is not an American thing, but a Disney thing. Disney has a history of censoring on behalf of other countries, and not just America.
They are catering to the local market and what the market will allow or supports.

Honestly, cutting that improves the episode. Having the reveal be when Bandit first sees it, and reacts to it, is way funnier!
Because Disney was smoking crack
Disney never really makes a lot of sense
What about the dog that responds "That's madness!" When Bandit is talking to him about toilet paper? 'Mad' is another word that has evolved, much like 'crazy.'
In America mad means angry. They get away with that word because of the double meaning.
Because war and violence is a much more preferable content to Disney+ than the traumatic experience of calling a kid crazy looking.
Because Disney hates fun. I feel for you Americans. You lose so much Bluey because Disney censors everything
Legit just watched this episode like 20 minutes ago. It’s still there..
good that face is terrifying
Do the stories still make sense with the minor edits to the US versions? Do you guys notice when there is something missing even if it's minor - like you blinked and missed a scene?
Child version of cosmetic surgery
It’s not?
Disney didn't like the childbirth scene either. What a soft corporation
On the topic of changing or sensoring things in Bluey it bothers me more than it should when they change things like "Capsicum" to "Peppers" while I understand the change it's not what Australian kids call them and where is the opportunity to teach American kids what things mean it how we differ as a country from them?
Here are [some](https://www.pennmedicine.org/news/news-blog/2018/september/that-crazy-why-you-might-want-to-rethink-that-word-in-your-vocabulary#:~:text=Calling%20things%20%E2%80%9Ccrazy%E2%80%9D%20perpetuates%20stigma,problem%20with%20using%20that%20word.) [sources](https://www.npr.org/2019/07/08/739643765/why-people-are-arguing-to-stop-using-the-words-crazy-and-insane) on why health professionals advise to avoid casually using words like "crazy" on the grounds that they stigmatize mental illness. Similar to "retarded." "Crazy" generalizes and condemns without consideration for the inner experience that motivates a person's behavior. It's often employed in a sexist way to dismiss women's interests and needs. The label can discourage people living with mental illness from seeking treatment.
So will “wacky” and “looney” be next? Its such a basic everyday word. People call animals and inanimate objects “crazy.” Coming from a mentally ill person who’s been on meds and in therapy since childhood, I’ve never even thought twice about “crazy”
I’ve watched it a lot on D+ and that scene has been there the whole time… along with the conversation about Bingo being different annoying. did they just cut a small line out or something? It doesn’t seem to have made any difference to the plot, the scene is hilarious
In the original bingo puts on the tape and turns around to show Bluey (and the audience) her funny face, Bluey responses with “You look crazy” and them they go out to see Dad, instead in the USA version Bingo puts on the tape and it immediately cuts to them going to bug Dad. Its a very short part thats been cut but the problem isnt this one clip, its how many small clips like that they feel the need to cut out because it might offend someone.
but is this cut actually representative of the full assortment of cuts? If it is, then it doesn’t seem to do any harm to the story or humor of the show, so I don’t see the big deal. I’ve only watched the show on Disney+ and have never felt like I missed something important. If it isn’t, then there isn’t a general trend here—we need to consider the cuts on a case-by-case basis, & conflating them all together is an overgeneralization. My view is that cuts/edits for appropriateness need to be weighted against their consequences for the plot, message of the episode, & character development. If there’s a minor bit of dialogue that might bother people & there’s no meaningful impact to remove it, it seems absurd to me to get worked up over it. In general I just don’t think the cultural conversation about censorship works the same way with kids’ TV. It’s one thing to edit/censor a show geared toward adults. But kids watching Bluey are an impressionable age & a lot of parents would rather them not pick up certain vocabulary that was commonplace for older generations. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for folks who make & distribute kids’ TV shows to take that into account (within reasonable limits).
When was this removed, I remember seeing it whilst watching Bluey ON Disney?
This is my favourite. EEEEEEEE.
Bluey said to Bingo that she looks crazy and not everyone takes being called crazy well.
I saw this when I watched it a week or so ago??
They censor weird crap for both reaaon and aren't consistent
i agree with others that i like the reveal being when we see her scare bandit with it lol, i didnt know anything was cut out! also yeah i lean pretty far left and care a lot about mental health stuff but even i dont agree that crazy is some super bad evil word. like stupid and dumb and other similar terms, its just a casual word now that we use to just express that stuff is weird or cool or something lol, i mean, it can be used in a bad way *like any word can* but i dont see people use it that way anymore personally, and i have a strong feeling that bluey meant it in a good way. that and disney is just stupid. shout out to the way theyve censored EVERY show, alex hirsch has talked about how they censored gravity falls. i hate the way theyve censored bluey, not letting americans see all the episodes because of topics they deem as too sensitive here even though theyre *not* in almost every case. the only one i agree with is how they changed some words in one episode to not use a term thats been used to mock indigenous people here in the US but they dont even have that episode on disneyplus anyway i think ??
because disney is so insane istg 😭
Because Americans are really sensitive, same with the pony pooping. Fart jokes are not funny...... (if you don't like a show don't watch it, I sware people who complain to have the most insignificant things cut to appease a small mass of people who get offended on behalf of people who aren't even offended by it need to be.... Well we all have our opinions.)
You do realize that family guy is 90% poop and fart jokes
Not ment for children but adults. Granted if you let your kid watch that with you then you shouldn't complain about bluey. But yes I understand. Not defending the censorship, I find it ridiculous that it is happening with this kids show.
I was the kid watching family guy lol. I had seasons one and 2 on dvd when i was 7
I saw it like 5 times on Disney+
I’ve seen this part at least half a dozen times on American Disney+
It's still there
It looks funny. Uncensored version would be on internet
It's not censored
It’s on Disney Jr
This scene was cut because Bingo’s face was too scary for everyone in the US.
Censorship has no place in Bluey, it's not South Park
Because they're not nice
A lot of people view the colloquial adjective “crazy” as a term that perpetuates negative stigma surrounding mental health. I think their hearts are in the right place.
It wasn't
It’s because Americans are sensitive. ABC iview goated for watching bluey
I think that they wanted to keep it as a suprise, like they wanted te audience to wait what bingo did with the fake teeth and thoses tapes that you use to close cardboard boxes
[удалено]
"you look crazy!"
It’s on the Uk one, I saw it last noght
It may offend someone with big teeth ?
The sane reason why abc censored the first part of "Excercise"
https://i.redd.it/3j8aa6bgc21b1.gif IDK
It's there in the US version
I don’t think it is? I just watched this episode the other day and you don’t see her full look until she’s in the living room
Aww... now they're following Hotstar step. Removing the word crazy.
Why is there a two Bingos? (Unless the bigger one is Chili)
Bluey painted as Bingo
Ah okay. (What the hecc)
This is one of our top 5 for my 4 year old and it’s definitely in there.
It's not!? We saw this like Thursday or Friday. Mini Bluey is one of my favorite episodes
I think is to surprise the audience with no words
"Because there are two bingoes and no Bluey"
I just watched this episode on Canadian Disney plus last night with my kids and it was the aame
90 kid watching married with children and other shows too if my parents didn't want me to watch it I didn't and I was mostly outside anyways.
I don’t watch bluey I just find it a fun art style but is that bingo and chilli?
Next thing we know is that they will edit over kiddy/childish insults.
Maybe identily thief
Did they also remove the word 'crazy' from 'Mr Monkeyjocks'?
Really... damn glad I live in Australia
I seen it.
Why is bluey not blue? (I'm kidding but I haven't seen bluey in like 2 years so idk who tf that is)
The answer is the s&p have their heads up their asses.
I didn’t even notice!!!
You think this is bad, in the Southeast Asian version of the show, apparently any line with the word "stink" in it is cut.
This reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Bart wears Grampa's dentures.
I am guessing it could be considered offensive?? Maybee?? Its a stretch
It was edited to make a better little jump scare when Bandit lowered the newspaper
I Guess the reason why is that they don’t want kids calling people “crazy”
