18 Tweets On Why Everyone Loves (But Also Kinda Hates) Bluey's Dad
Bandit and Bluey Heeler
Bluey’s dad is something of an icon in a lot of households – and not just in Australia, where the TV show is set.
The big blue daddy dog, called Bandit Heeler, is known for having boundless energy and patience as far as his kids Bluey and Bingo are concerned.
He’s always keen to teach a valuable life lesson, lives for fun and will literally drop anything and everything in the quest to make his children laugh.
Understandably, a lot of parents – especially dads – look up to the cartoon character who (fun fact) works as an archaeologist in the hit kid’s show. Someone even described him as “the greatest dad in the history of TV”.
TBH he is pretty special.

Some see him as the ultimate parenting role model. He’s even teaching kids some pretty valuable skills.

Thank you Bluey’s dad for all that you teach 🙏— Jessica Bird (@jjbird888) March 11, 2023
When I’m having a hard time as a parent, I just pause, count to three, and ask: “what would Bluey’s dad do?” and then I do that.
This is the parenting role model I never knew I needed. pic.twitter.com/yOz25Kh0HQ— Mateo 🍄 (@Fly_Agaric) March 13, 2023
90% of my parenting is bribery, or saying "Sorry, I dont make the rules!" right after giving them a rule I just that second made up. The other 10% is stuff I stole from Bluey's dad.#bluey#parenting#killingit

But while he has his fair share of admirers, there are also a lot of parents who feel a bit dejected when they compare their own style of parenting to Bandit.
The dad from Bluey makes me feel like a failure as a father

I just sit in sadness every day knowing I’ll never be as fun of a dad as Bandit from Bluey is

Honestly this year has been hard enough without constantly having to compare my parenting to the dad from Bluey

My most unpopular TV opinion: the dad from Bluey is so relentlessly upbeat in the face of his children's behaviour that it makes me feel like a failed parent.

For all the parents who love or borderline hate him, there are also those who tune into Bluey for one thing and one thing only – to thirst over Bandit.
I have a lot of unhinged and indefensible thoughts but close to the top of the list is that Bandit from Bluey is the hottest dad on TV. pic.twitter.com/3gp6W8vWwD

Although, this person also has a point. Is it possible to fancy a jelly bean? Probably yes.
seeing too many thirst tweets for the dad from bluey and that doesn't change the fact that he looks a lot like a jelly bean pic.twitter.com/aYQVBpy7Mg
