Popularity in the USA
I'm Australian and went on a business trip last month to the UK and to the USA.
In the UK I didn't see Bluey anywhere, but in the USA I saw Bluey stuff everywhere. Every hotel room at some point flipping channels Disney Jr seemed to have Bluey on all the time. I saw kids wearing Bluey merch when out and about. I saw Bluey merch in stores. Even on a flight, the kids in front of me were watching Bluey on the inflight entertainment.
At one hotel I had to go down the hallway to get some ice, and was wearing my Bandit PJ t-shirt. Another guy in his 30s came out of the elevator and was like "OMG I love your shirt! We all love Bluey!"
So my question is, will the next generation of American squibs all have an Australian accent?
The “Tactical Wee” has become an integral part of our daily lives.
I’ve been trying to perfect my Aussie “no.” “Naheuough.”
Or rather, I was trying until my wife correcting it every single time by saying what sure sounded like exactly what I had said drove me insane enough to stop trying.
Otherwise I have seriously improved my Aussie accent. It’s nowhere near perfect (one of the hardest accents to do in English, IMO), but it’s better than it was before Bluey.
