American Bluey fans were left confused after watching a Christmas episode of the beloved Australian animated children's series. The show follows the adventures of Bluey, a Blue Heeler puppy, and her family - Dad Bandit, Mum Chilli, and little sister Bingo. The show premiered in Australia two years ago and was later picked up by Disney Plus in 2020, making it available to viewers around the world.
As the festive season approached, many fans of the show decided to rewatch old Christmas episodes. However, some American viewers were baffled by a common tradition that was featured in one of the episodes. In the 2020 episode "Christmas Swim," the Heeler family is seen wearing colorful paper crowns at the dining table. While this may seem like a normal sight for those in the UK and Australia, it left many American fans scratching their heads.
One fan posted a photo of the scene on the Adult Bluey Fans Facebook group, asking what the hats were and what they signified. This sparked a discussion on Reddit, with someone noting that paper crowns are not a common thing in the US. Another person commented that they felt like Christmas was incomplete without the party poppers, paper crowns, and bad jokes that typically come in Christmas crackers.
Someone else chimed in, explaining that the tradition of wearing paper crowns during Christmas dinner is a British Commonwealth thing. They even referenced other popular shows, such as Harry Potter, where paper crowns can be seen in Christmas scenes. Another viewer shared that they only learned about Christmas crackers after watching TV shows like Doctor Who and Peppa Pig.
As the discussion continued, someone jokingly suggested that the popularity of Bluey in the US might even cause a "worldwide bon bon shortage" due to high demand for the traditional Christmas crackers. This led to fans sharing other unique references in the show, such as "bin chickens," colorful sunscreen, and even a cricket bat.
It's clear that American Bluey fans are still discovering and learning about different cultural traditions through the show. And while some may be confused at first, the heartwarming and emotional stories of Bluey and her family continue to captivate viewers around the world. So, if you haven't already, make sure to check out Bluey on Disney Plus for a heartwarming and entertaining experience.
