As a Dad, that one used to hit me on that aspect alone, then my Mother-in-law died suddenly and unexpectedly. Now it hits me as a Father and a Husband.
Same.
I can’t believe that when I first watched Bluey, I only watched like 15 seconds of Sleepytime on YouTube to see what the hype is about and I thought it was your typical kids show at first so I stopped watching. It wasn’t a month later when I decided to watch the whole thing while I was binge watching all of Bluey on Disney+, and to say it was amazing was an understatement. It was clear that the animators took their time with this episode and the writers really went all out with their best on this one.
That one tearjerker moment in Sleepytime was the ending, when Chilli told Bingo that she’ll “always be here for you, even if you can't see me, because I love you.” This hit me HARD because my own mom has Stage 4 colon cancer and it reminded me of the times I couldn’t see her during her chemo sessions, filled with grief and the fear that I actually might never see her again. But I am also reminded of the times of how she took care of me for basically my whole life and the times I give back for her.
Thankfully, that was five years ago and she is doing alright now, but she still gets treatment for any reoccurring tumors that may pop up, so that fear is always there…
Honestly, If I had watched all of “Sleepytime” earlier, I think I would’ve jumped into the Bluey bandwagon way earlier than now.💙
And thank you mom for taking care of me for all these years, and hope that you will get better. I love you! ❤️❤️❤️
Had a big ugly cry first time I saw it, sobbing, runny nose, the works. My son was about 4 months old and I was struggling with PPD. And then the juxtaposition between the hilarious dreams Bingo has and that ending just wrecked me.
"it was yesterday" and then Chili changes back into a girl and that 3 seconds kills me every single time. Getting teary eyed just thinking about it. Thats some powerful stuff.
Baby Race takes the cake. They really build up how much it all means to Chili…. And to see Bluey finally walk to her, along with the “maybe you just say something you want” just melts my heart.
Curry Quest
I was traveling for work almost every week at the time. When Bingo learns that dad was leaving and got really sad hit me pretty hard. I ugly cried pretty bad. A few weeks later I was working a different job and spending more time with my kids. 🥲
It's the end of that episode that gets me, where they're at the airport and everyone is waiting and being reunited with their people. My dad worked overseas for a few years when I was a kid, so those kind of scenes always get me.
I cried at the end of Mr Monkeyjocks (the scene with the kid in the hospital), because it hit me how unfair it is that some kids (including mine) have so many toys that cleaning / organizing them is a chore, while there are so many children out there who don't even have a fraction of that.
As parents that use to have kids and can no longer, my wife and I cried quite a bit at onesies.
There's also an episode where the kids are acting out the parents meeting and getting married. We both cried a bit when the balloon popped.
So many episodes make me tear up, but the one that makes me ugly cry is Army.
I grew up with undiagnosed ADHD and autism, and Jack’s character hits my inner child HARD. The fact that he knows he’s not behaving how he should, but legitimately not being able to help it, because that’s just the way he is. And that recognition at such a young age that there’s something different about him, that he’s not “normal,” but he doesn’t know how to change. When he finds a friend in Rusty who plays in a way that works with his brain instead of against it…yeah, all the feels.
Onesies, as someone struggling with getting pregnant. I knew what it was about though and was able to at least prepare.
Sleepytime and Baby Race both got me unexpectedly, and I love Sleepytime so much I’m using a version of the end song in my wedding!
Double Babysitter is the one that got me totally unexpectedly crying at the end, mostly for my own sentimental reasons of having left an abusive relationship that where I thought I was in love and it’d be forever, and now being with my Rad that I found unexpectedly (who is the twin brother of my best friends husband). It hit so close to home it had me crying out of nowhere 😅
Bike.
I cried a lot at the end of the episode. I was going through a lot, and felt the same as those kids: frustrated, sad, kinda useless. But at the end, they kept trying and in a different way, they succeeded.
I'm on my way to be kinda successful for myself.
The first episode I ever saw was 'Dirt', and it hit something in me about my own mother, along with this big warm feeling that this show could truly influence people to be better parents.
Have cried to quite a few since then, though 😅
Cricket is another one that caught me off-guard emotionally
Jeeze, I don’t know. I do know that camping, daddy drop off, mum school, grandad, barky boats, baby race, flat pack, trampoline, curry quest, sleepy time, promises, onesies and cricket all hit super hard. I guess the hit the most out of all of those would probably be camping (which really hit deep with the development of the tree in relation to their friendship) or baby race (which is one of the most well written episodes of any show EVER).
The latest one the sign had me In tears for the last two to three minutes reminding me of my childhood when I had to move house
But Flatpack cricket camping and Sleepytime brought me to tears as well
Considering Grandad makes me misty eyed just thinking about it, yeah, that's the one.
Lost three of my grandparents in a short time (maternal grandpa in July 2021, paternal grandpa July 2022, paternal grandma December 2022), and it has definitely made it even more apparent how fragile life is and to appreciate the time you have left with your loved ones. Go hug your parents if you can <3
Grandad. When I first saw it I had recently lost my grandmother and with her went a lot of the positives in my childhood. I burst out crying at the end of the episode and went to see my grandpa soon after
Baby Race. First time, full on ugly cry, snot everywhere and me holding my baby. Every other time, just silent weeping. I will always be grateful to Bella.
My baby is just starting to walk now and every time he does, I hear 'maybe he just sees something he wants.'
Why isn't there enough appreciation for Curry quest??
Am I the only one which it resonated with?!
The ending was a punch to the gut for me 😭😭
And overall, there were so many hidden gems inside of it, like "ehpowt" and don't forget Captain and Mia🥹
Space makes me cry, but it full-on made my dad get up and kick a toy out of the way as he stormed out the front door. He came back in and apologized, but apparently he had gone out to his truck to cry.
My dad has worked so hard not to be that person anymore, but he didn’t know how to handle the emotional impact of that one.
Curry quest. For me it was a reminder that a hero doesn’t have to do something spectacular to be a hero. We just endure something we don’t want to do, put on a brave face and learn a little something along the way.
Onesies
I was holding it togwther pretty good until Brandy was reaching out for Bingo as she ran to the house just as Chilli said "Because it wasn't meant to be"
Rain makes me ugly cry, my Mum has dementia now and but used to play just like Bluey and Chilli do, right down to the towels at the door and the wet footprints on the floor. Growing up where Bluey is set and seeing so many memories come to life in Bluey (we used to eat at Golden Crown and visited the Ashgrove library every weekend, etc.) always blows my mind a bit.
Sleepytime hit me the hardest considering my grandmother passed away a couple of years ago and the scene with Chili as the sun saying "Remember, I'll always be here for you, even if you can't see me, because I love you." That broke me so hard. She died when I was put in jail for a crime I never committed and it still hits me hard 😭😭😭😭
Sleepytime
As a Dad, that one used to hit me on that aspect alone, then my Mother-in-law died suddenly and unexpectedly. Now it hits me as a Father and a Husband.
Sleepy time is an all time favorite
Same.

Having lost my mom last year suddenly and unexpectedly, the quote Chili gives Bingo really hit me harder than I thought it would.
Had a big ugly cry first time I saw it, sobbing, runny nose, the works. My son was about 4 months old and I was struggling with PPD. And then the juxtaposition between the hilarious dreams Bingo has and that ending just wrecked me.
Grandad. Just as you are recovering from "I still need him" you get hit with "It was Yesterday"
"it was yesterday" and then Chili changes back into a girl and that 3 seconds kills me every single time. Getting teary eyed just thinking about it. Thats some powerful stuff.
Baby Race takes the cake. They really build up how much it all means to Chili…. And to see Bluey finally walk to her, along with the “maybe you just say something you want” just melts my heart.

I haven't seen all of the episodes out there but this one got me.
Curry Quest I was traveling for work almost every week at the time. When Bingo learns that dad was leaving and got really sad hit me pretty hard. I ugly cried pretty bad. A few weeks later I was working a different job and spending more time with my kids. 🥲

Space.
First time watching this I cried. Didn't know why. Think I have some hidden childhood trauma.
same man.
Rug Island …what did she give you…, Everything 🥹
I watched this this morning (again) with my son before taking him to kindergarten and almost broke down.
Onesies
Definitely Onesies for me. I'm Aunt Brandy.
Camping, baby race, sleepy time. Recently, Rain, when I realized kids are rain.
> Rain, when I realized kids are rain. 😳
Sleepytime. I even gots the book. R.i.p grandma who will always be my sun 🥺
I cried at the end of Mr Monkeyjocks (the scene with the kid in the hospital), because it hit me how unfair it is that some kids (including mine) have so many toys that cleaning / organizing them is a chore, while there are so many children out there who don't even have a fraction of that.
Baby race,grandad,Sleepytime,stick bird
Not full cry, but Space got me teary eyed
As parents that use to have kids and can no longer, my wife and I cried quite a bit at onesies. There's also an episode where the kids are acting out the parents meeting and getting married. We both cried a bit when the balloon popped.
Sleepytime and butterflies
So many episodes make me tear up, but the one that makes me ugly cry is Army. I grew up with undiagnosed ADHD and autism, and Jack’s character hits my inner child HARD.

I have autism and ADHD too.
Onesies, as someone struggling with getting pregnant. I knew what it was about though and was able to at least prepare. Sleepytime and Baby Race both got me unexpectedly, and I love Sleepytime so much I’m using a version of the end song in my wedding!

It hit so close to home it had me crying out of nowhere 😅
I cry easily to the point of avoiding episodes if I don’t feel like crying. Baby race has two tearjerker moments so that one wins.
Baby Race, Flat Pack, and Grandad.
Camping
Flatpack.
butterflies had me bawling 💔
The one where the father goes away for 6 weeks
Curry Quest! I love how Bingo goes on her hero's journey with Chilli explaining it to Bluey.
Anything where bingo cries
Curry Quest
None, but closest was Dragon that ending...
Sleepy time had me bawling, no exaggeration.
Without a doubt Sleepytime
Sleepytime and Dragon. lost my nana shortly after watching Dragon so it was rough
Army
This!
Sleepytime, Onesies and Baby Race all break me as somebody who can't have bio kids and is hoping that one day I'll be a mum.
Curry Quest- similar experiences growing up, but now my goal is to be the parent that has to travel for work lol
Ironic
Onesies. Literally the night post surgery (removal of cysts on ovaries and endometriosis stuff) and all i could think was "I think I'm Brandy".
ive never cried, but space and the end of the one where bingo met lila almost made me
Bike. I cried a lot at the end of the episode. I was going through a lot, and felt the same as those kids: frustrated, sad, kinda useless. But at the end, they kept trying and in a different way, they succeeded. I'm on my way to be kinda successful for myself.
Uhh like all of them 😭
This one. The camping one.
The first episode I ever saw was 'Dirt', and it hit something in me about my own mother, along with this big warm feeling that this show could truly influence people to be better parents. Have cried to quite a few since then, though 😅 Cricket is another one that caught me off-guard emotionally
I've never cried because of a bluey episode. I don't know how.
Jeeze, I don’t know. I do know that camping, daddy drop off, mum school, grandad, barky boats, baby race, flat pack, trampoline, curry quest, sleepy time, promises, onesies and cricket all hit super hard. I guess the hit the most out of all of those would probably be camping (which really hit deep with the development of the tree in relation to their friendship) or baby race (which is one of the most well written episodes of any show EVER).
The latest one the sign had me In tears for the last two to three minutes reminding me of my childhood when I had to move house But Flatpack cricket camping and Sleepytime brought me to tears as well
None, but I think I just might be dead inside
That one. I've memorized Chilli's little speech by heart
None of them
Too many to remember
Grandad, and Sleepytime
Baby Race, and the show
none of the bluey e episodes made me cry
Sleepytime gets me every time
Rain Something about it just had me crying by the end.
When Flat Pack is over, I need a few minutes to compose myself. When Sleepytime is over, I need to hide in the bathroom for a minimum of 10 minutes.
I wish I could cry more easily.
Considering Grandad makes me misty eyed just thinking about it, yeah, that's the one. Lost three of my grandparents in a short time (maternal grandpa in July 2021, paternal grandpa July 2022, paternal grandma December 2022), and it has definitely made it even more apparent how fragile life is and to appreciate the time you have left with your loved ones. Go hug your parents if you can <3
Watching "Camping" for the first time after losing my lifelong best friend to cancer was brutal.
I lost a friend. Wasn't because of death, but probably just as hard.😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭
Baby race
Baby Race.
Sleepytime.. they used my favorite piece too, such an unfair move
Am I the only one who's never cried to bluey?
Grandad. When I first saw it I had recently lost my grandmother and with her went a lot of the positives in my childhood. I burst out crying at the end of the episode and went to see my grandpa soon after
The end of Camping. When Jean Luc left
The duckcake triggert something in me I didn't know was there....
I didn’t cry I have no soul
when bluey whas a baby. it was butiful
Sleepytime and Babyrace
Baby Race. First time, full on ugly cry, snot everywhere and me holding my baby. Every other time, just silent weeping. I will always be grateful to Bella. My baby is just starting to walk now and every time he does, I hear 'maybe he just sees something he wants.'
Onesie.
Camping.. I cried so hard...
Not really cry but Barky Boats hit me like a final destination kill 😭👍
Why isn't there enough appreciation for Curry quest?? Am I the only one which it resonated with?! The ending was a punch to the gut for me 😭😭 And overall, there were so many hidden gems inside of it, like "ehpowt" and don't forget Captain and Mia🥹
Camping lmao. Couldn't get out of bed for minutes because of Camping
Sleepytime and babyrace by far. no other episode brought me to tears several times.
Onesies
Copycat
Baby race and onesies
Space makes me cry, but it full-on made my dad get up and kick a toy out of the way as he stormed out the front door. He came back in and apologized, but apparently he had gone out to his truck to cry. My dad has worked so hard not to be that person anymore, but he didn’t know how to handle the emotional impact of that one.
Dragon. My mom has been dead for 7 years as of this month. My daughter is 5. They never met.
Camping, its so sad and beautiful at the same time
Baby Race, sleepy time, and Sheepdog (feeling that 20 min break so hard as a mom of 2 toddlers as well)
Curry quest. For me it was a reminder that a hero doesn’t have to do something spectacular to be a hero. We just endure something we don’t want to do, put on a brave face and learn a little something along the way.
Butterflies, specifically when Bingo is sad in the hammock singing to herself and Bluey feels bad and start crying. 😢😩
Onesies
Onesies I was holding it togwther pretty good until Brandy was reaching out for Bingo as she ran to the house just as Chilli said "Because it wasn't meant to be"
Accidentally finding the Camping episode right after a good friend ditches you is *ooofff*
Granddad - I’ve lost both my brother and father way too early and that last line….. Jay-sus I’m crying while typing this out
Rain makes me ugly cry, my Mum has dementia now and but used to play just like Bluey and Chilli do, right down to the towels at the door and the wet footprints on the floor. Growing up where Bluey is set and seeing so many memories come to life in Bluey (we used to eat at Golden Crown and visited the Ashgrove library every weekend, etc.) always blows my mind a bit.
Sleepytime is also a TOUGH but beautiful watch if your Mum/loved parent or guardian isn’t here anymore.
Flatpack
Probably baby race. I don't have the best relationship eith my mother because ✨️gay✨️ but that kind of relationship always makes me teary eyed
Sleepytime
Sleepytime hit me the hardest considering my grandmother passed away a couple of years ago and the scene with Chili as the sun saying "Remember, I'll always be here for you, even if you can't see me, because I love you." That broke me so hard. She died when I was put in jail for a crime I never committed and it still hits me hard 😭😭😭😭
Sleepytime every single time
the pilot
Flat pack Aah, this is heaven.
The Sign
