Students on De Montfort University’s Music, Film and Entertainment Journalism module pick the films, plays, music, TV shows or books they detest. And in an unexpected turn of events, Bluey makes Molly Lee see red
I’m a dog lover and I love all dogs dearly, no matter what the breed. But there’s one dog I would happily put down – Bluey.
How might you ask? I can’t run her over because I can’t drive. I’m too physically weak to commit murder in a physically challenging act, even though she roughly weighs five pounds. I think it must involve duct tape over the mouth, so I don’t have to hear the whiny little voice crying out.
The classic euthanasia injection will do.
Bluey is honestly the most annoying character of all time. Her shrieky little laugh haunts my dreams. She’s bratty, demands attention all the time and misbehaves.
Yes, I know she is a six-year-old cartoon dog. But this dog, with the most unimaginative name possible might I add, makes me want to gauge my eyes and pull out my ear canals. And that’s only after watching her for seven minutes.
I don’t know how her parents don’t put in her a box in front of a stranger’s doorstep at night.
There’s one episode that fuels my deep hatred for the blue dog. Season one, episode 34 – titled Trampoline. Bluey and her little sister, Bingo, are playing on the trampoline with their dad, Bandit. But oh no, the fun is broken when their dad must go to work.
Bluey proceeds to whine and whine, throwing a tantrum and trying to convince him to stay. “Don’t go to work Daddy,” cries the intolerable child. You know, don’t go to work and earn money to put food in my ungrateful mouth. Don’t go to work and earn money that paid for the trampoline I’m jumping on.
Honestly. That is the entire plot of the episode. What is that teaching a child? To cry at every minor inconvenience. All I wished for was for Bluey to be the next Dorothy and get whisked away forever by a tornado.
The show is still going on somehow. It’s been brainwashing kids for three seasons and there’s more to come. There are even rumours that there will be another spawn joining the family. Let’s hope it comes out mute.
