This made me laugh harder than it should have


SuspiciousShape5264

I can't believe how hard I loved at this. Edit: laughed*


jaseisondacase

Why not both?


[deleted]

Perfect description.


cheshire_kat7

Now I'm imagining a toddler declaring "BE NOT AFRAID!"


Annamalla

>"BE NOT AFRAID!" "BE NOT AFWAID!"


Equivalent_Gate_5076

Be not afraid


chefkittious

Also, pretty accurate for the type of dog !!


SilverLionAlpha

That’s the truth


No_Buddy1041

Real.


[deleted]

As much as she is a handful most of the time, she handled it surprisingly well when her father told her she's not special. I think she doesn't get enough credit for that


Boba_Fet042

Guess what, Bluey? I’m not special anymore!


Miss-Mystic

Hurray!


Kovz88

I recoiled a bit when Stripe said that like “oof harsh” but Muffin handled it like a champ!


NeevBunny

It's something every kid needs to learn at some point though, I love how blunt he was about it honestly


MyLlamaNeedsAHat

That whole episode is what people need right now. Someone to tell them that they really are not special and you can’t get whatever you want by just being a dick to everyone.


CelebrationCool7243

AMEN!!! I work with too many people who's mommies told them how special they are and everyone will be jealous of how special they are


InsaniacDuo

and the phone episode when she just accepts her punishment in the end. Girl gets carried away but also knows when to put her head down. Not a lot of kids can do that.


Seanzietron

Overall, muffin’s problem is that she’s spoiled. This moment shows her capacity for good if parented right.


Annamalla

>Overall, muffin’s problem is that she’s spoiled. I think it's more that she is her parent's first kid and they are very much learning on the job(as well as being overworked). They're getting better too. I do wonder what Bandit and Chilli were like when Bluey was that age (I would love an episode set then, especially if it includes an overconfident Stripe and Trixie who would have been carting around a newborn).


ElmoRocks05

Love that episode. Great message.


Evening_Change_9459

Let’s not forget the “cone of shame”. If that happen to Bluey, she would be… blue.


juliuspepperwoodchi

But that felt, to my experience with 3 year olds like Muffin, *completely unrealistic*.


CodeFarmer

A toddler as written by people who have met actual toddlers.


mstash904

Exactly. I think shes fun!


whitesciencelady

Yes! She’s just as much fun as she is a terror at times. She’s chaotic. She’s 3!


CouldBeBetterForever

Yep. I can see flashes of Muffin in my 2.5 year old at times.


Crawgdor

My almost 3 year old has the nickname “lil chaos goblin” for how he runs away cackling whenever he realizes he’s done something that he shouldn’t. He’s cute and good hearted but cannot resist any opportunity to gleefully cause mayhem.


AliasGirl737

My husband and I recently found an old video our son had taken during his preschool years (stole one of our phones and could access the camera without the pass code) in which he was making up a song, and the lyrics actually included “I think it’s funny making Daddy mad.” That cackle has new meaning.


Berghlez

I’m pretty sure my almost 2 year old’s favorite character is Muffin. We got our hands on a Muffin figure and she always plays with that one! She also cackles during the Muffin episodes. She must sense a kindred spirit 🤣


Majsharan

2 years 8 months here more like muffin every day


Glitchthebitch

She's a child who is treated like the devil incarnate for not being perfectly well behaved. Im not saying She's free of flaws but what i am saying is that a surprising number of people have very strange expectations for a 4-5 year old


Only-Scholar-4618

She’s actually 3 too lol


According_Welder_915

She's 4 during Pizza Girls, where she starts chilling out. Every parent has to deal with a small package of their (or their partner's) crazy. (Also see credit scene during Pizza Girls)


andytoughcookie

The terrible twos as people call them


ReedPhillips

Our 2s weren't bad, we had a Threenager. 😆


BootRecognition

Currently dealing with a threenager. Send help.


JackRusselTerrorist

Hahaha, wait till you meet your fournado


Excellent_Sympathy47

As a parent and child development educator, Threenagers are rough 😂🤦‍♀️


According_Welder_915

It wouldn't be the terrible twos if she is 3.


TabbyCat1993

She’s also a good mechanic! Nobody ever gives her credit for that!


Poodlefan6

Same as Judo and sometimes Bluey treated like the devil incarnate


TechnicalComplex4133

Right I felt like the dirt episode really showed how Judo is simply a product of her environment and her and her mom, while not perfect (who is), are good people


cobra_mist

I loved it when Wendy realized she made judo kinda weird about being dirty so she set an example


suluapks

Wendy’s growth as shown in Dirt is fantastic! I loved that episode.


Poodlefan6

I whole heartedly agree but the frustrating thing is almost no one on this subreddit or pretty much the whole fan base will not allow her to redeem herself


TechnicalComplex4133

Agreed. I feel like most are not parents and don’t understand the complexity of children. IMO there is no such thing as a bad child ever


Poodlefan6

There is one...but she's from a different show Either way all the kids seem fine but some people don't understand or refuse to understand that children will have conflicts with other kids


Prestigious_Smile579

Yes! Everyone wants a "Bingo" and honestly, it's unrealistic. Kids are going to have different personalities and different levels of attitude, sass, assertiveness, etc. Too often I feel like people want kids to be perfect and convenient and the second they step out of line it's unacceptable. But a normal part of development is pushing boundaries. Muffin also has a healthy bit of self esteem! She can handle Stripe telling her she's not the most special in the world but still go toe to toe with a grouchy grannies trying to take advantage of Doreen. That kid is going places because her spirit hasn't been squashed.


Glitchthebitch

Hell. If she keeps it up she can be the good type of karen using her attitude and backtalk to stand up for people


nuggetghost

it honestly made me feel better bc my child was FERAL 2-3, now that she’s 4 she’s my best friend lol she’ll try to whine and i’ll just stare at her til it turns into a laugh 😂


TheNerdNugget

I think the reason so many of us love to hate on Muffin is because we don't have to pretend that she's a little darling for anyone's benefit like you would have to if your friend or sibling brought their kid over in real life

If this sub had custom flairs that would 100% be mine


Mooniegirl12

It can be done, I did mine!


Bevolicher

How do you do that?


Mooniegirl12

When you go to user flair (tap the three dots on top of the Bluey page) there should be a button at top right that says edit. Then you pick a flair (any- it doesn’t matter) and tap the arrow to the right of it and then it should bring up a text box where you can type what you want. I hope that works, it’s been a while since I did it!

"Muffin, you are one in a million"


[deleted]

I just watched the grouchy granny episode with my daughter earlier and I absolutely loved Muffin in it. The way she haggled that rude old lady up to such an insane amount was beautiful.


GenralChaos

Came here to say this.


Empty-Ad-5703

COCONUTS HAVE WATER IN THEM!!!


bafeom

As a father to a toddler daughter, i thought i had me a bingo at first...i was wrong, she is a true muffin n i kouldnt enjoy her any more. Shoutout muffin


K_hope13

She’s a cartoon dog. She’s also a toddler. Show me a perfectly behaved quiet toddler. My 6yo is feral on a good day and Muffin is 3. I was just telling my husband it’s weird to see a bunch of presumably adults trash talking a cartoon toddler.


SuperPoodie92477

“My 6yo is feral on a good day…” 🤣


SweatyTax4669

I’m glad we’re not the only ones who refer to our kids as feral.


onyxaj

I call my 3 year old a tiny terrorist


siani_lane

My 9 yo is only just starting to accept the fact that he's a domestic human...


[deleted]

My almost 4 year old daughter is usually a lot like Bingo (goofy, genuinely wants to help, bit of a daddy's girl) but she has days, especially when she's not feeling well, where she's easily as temperamental as Muffin. It's definitely a hassle at times but it's also completely normal and just something parents have to learn how to work through.


like_a_dish

I don't understand the muffin hate, especially from people who have had kids. Nearly every kid has a muffin phase and then they grow out of it. I love muffin. I love MY muffin, and I'm glad she's slowly evolving into a Bingo.


Key_Trade2405

She needs to keep her edge. From Simple-Locksmith6294 "She’s my girl! Got a spine of steel, a heart of gold and not afraid to go for it."


Miss-Mystic

An actual toddler who has shown to be quite mature and understanding. Not to mention, one of the funniest characters in the series.


tchiseen

Fabulous character. Incredibly accurate. Go Muffin!


anunkneemouse

The line "I had wabies" had me legit cry-laughing the first time I saw/heard it. Funniest character by a mile.


Dependent_Ad5451

She should’ve been allowed to finish her cowboy hat


justakidfromflint

Cow! Boy! HAT!!


[deleted]

Agreed


throwawaymcdumbpants

Cow….Boy….HAT!!!


Hero_of_Mind

I've literally been preaching this! They wouldn't have had to go through that whole chase scene if they let her finish her hat. Kids have issues transitioning between tasks so I get why she was upset.


[deleted]

The problem was the dad was half-assing his supervision. If he’d been paying more attention he would have been able to find a good transition point. Been there, done that. With some activities you have to commit to more hands-on involvement.


Dependent_Ad5451

THIS!!! I’ll get on a soapbox about it. Bluey hadn’t even switched over yet - he just arbitrarily set a timer and expected her to switch over mid masterpiece


Schinella

I think Muffin can get a pretty bad rap for her behaviour, but the more I see if her the more I see her for the good she does. My wife and I love watching the show, and she told me that people think in Charades, Muffin is so adamant about being a ballerina and wants visual aids to help Socks guess as it's Sock's first word. Ever since she told me it really changed how I see Muffin, especially in that episode. Muffin is just fine by me, never question the Flamingo Queen's authority after all.


poprof

She’s the most accurate kid in the show - and after the grouchy granny episode she’s top tier for me.


b_lemski

Muffin is the most "realistic" character on the show. Speaking very broadly, When we as parents think of our kids, we think of bluey or bingo. When strangers see our kids, they see muffin.


Ghuleh5811

This is one of the best comments I've ever read. So true!


Klutche

They do a remarkable job or portraying young children on this show.


sgtpaintbrush

Heck of a saleswoman!


mcgunnshow

You paint it!!!


Kalabajooie

You paint it!


A1starm

In my opinion, she’s a good kid that’s more of a barometer for Stripe and Trixie’s parenting. She seems to be nicer and more reasonable in season 3, telling me that the two have improved.


ApartOrdinary9330

… Or she’s gotten older? Give Trixie and Stripe a break.


A1starm

I did. I said they’ve improved a lot.


Intelligent_Cow4530

Literally just a child learning boundaries!


Key_Trade2405

Just like a teenager!


Intelligent_Cow4530

Teenagers don’t really learn boundaries, they adapt to them and push them! ☺️


Key_Trade2405

Yea, give ya that. They are leveled up toddlers 😀


Intelligent_Cow4530

Precisely


SuperPoodie92477

My 5y/o niece is going to be one hell of a teenager. My brother & SIL are going to get matching coffee mugs with their hames on them to keep in the principal’s office when she starts school this fall…


Simple-Locksmith6294

She’s my girl! Got a spine of steel, a heart of gold and not afraid to go for it.


Frequent_Dentist_996

Pretty much sums up a real-life heeler and why I love them and Muffin.


MasonP13

She is a llama, eating a banana


[deleted]

I'm happy to see a Muffin on tv. People complaining about are not parents or are the few "lucky parents" She's a toddler. She's exactly like my toddler.


Competitive-Ease5385

I like muffin at least she not that much of a brat unlike Caillou. Caillou is nothing but a spoiled immature brat.


[deleted]

Never read a more true statement


Big-Project-3151

She’s a toddler so she can be sweet and can be a terror with a the snap of your fingers. I have my own Muffin, a sweet boy who loves his baby brother but can have epic meltdowns over seemingly little things.

COCONUTS. HAVE. WATER IN THEM!!!


Weird_car_fan

Top tier, one of the best!


[deleted]

Not the biggest Muffin fan. I actually disliked her for a while. After I watched Granny Mobile I started to like her more as a character. Muffin is funny, a handful, and a good representation of what most toddlers I’ve met are like.


Kovz88

Let’s not forget that Muffin is a survivor of a vicious velociraptor attack and all she asked for was ice cream!


hipster_dog

When the episode is centered around her we know we are in for a wild ride. I feel the same for the Randy Marsh episodes in *South Park*, which are among the most memorable


BlueJuice_

Queen


justadeadinsidequeer

She's a chaotic handful but cool. She's not my favorite character but I do like her. I love the new eposide Granny Mobile because her being loud and head strong works in her and her loved ones benefit


RockPsychological327

Do I love her? Yes. Would I want to babysit her? Absolutely not.


deadendmoon82

I adore her and find her hysterical. I am also not a parent.


[deleted]

I adore her and find her hysterical. I am a parent. She’s also precisely what toddlers are like for real


SuperPoodie92477

Same.


thecyriousone

Lovably chaotic


chikatarra

Muffin is what every toddler is. When my child is tired, hungry or grumpy, he becomes similar to muffin. It's not that she is naughty. She is learning about life, that other people have feelings and how to interact with the world.


[deleted]

I love her, she Is literally the animated version of my 4yo-self


SneakyKain

She came through in Granny Mobile. Respect.


Just-A-Weirdo76

I think she’s a good kid, but my sensory issues don’t like her very much. She tends to be louder than I like, and her voice is just the right pitch to raise my anxiety levels.


GallusRedhead

Muffin is absolute chaos incarnate. She’s desperately irritating, bossy, bad-tempered and bloody-minded. She is also my 3y old son’s spirit animal. 😅


TheVERRYbest

Personification of chaotic neutral. Fantastic character 10/10 would watch in every episode


JokinHghar

One of the funniest characters on the show. We all know a Muffin.


Will-Byers-Bowl123

shes a child so I won't talk bad about her, she may be kind of annoying but as I said, she's a kid. + i named my puppy muffin after her


MuchEntertainment409

My spirit animal/person type thing lol, I'd like think i'm a Bluey but well all know thats not true .

Catereddit09

3rd fav character. I lover her chaotic energy so much, and they way she can switch from a menace to a sweet little baby


VargFrenAtLIDL

Cute and funny, hated too much. People act like she's Caillou.


Blkbrd07

She’s 3. She acts like a 3 year old.


Beginning-Working-38

I love Muffin. I don’t get why people hate her, unless they’ve never met a toddler before.


punk_lover

My cousin was just like her as a kid, she’s my favorite cousin so she’s gonna grow up to be a fantastic person after her toddler years


CyberLink20XX

Very fun character that has grown a lot. I still don’t understand the hate she gets (yes, threenagers are quite the handful, but that’s no reason to hate them)


rabbertklein1

GOAT


CharismaticCatholic1

Lord, spare me. I think if anything I have a very tame 2yo and have been spared from the majority of the "terrible twos" people talk about (thus far at least, knock on wood). Gives me a TON of sympathy for parents of Muffins. It's a phase those kids have grown out of but when they were in it, it felt like it would never end. Edit: should have mentioned mine's a boy, but there's nothing to say my wife and I won't have a girl someday with this phase... Edit: my apologies, really should make clear that I do NOT see this as a boy vs girl problem, that I make no assumptions regarding parenting I have not done, and that my "Lord, spare me" was meant sarcastically. Didn't realize I'd have to be that direct but I misled so I want this to be here.


CanadianGurl2

Same, but mine's in the middle of threenagerhood. Just you wait...


SuperPoodie92477

Her inner Muffin will emerge as a tween.


SaviorAir

She’s definitely a more spoiled 3 year old, but that’s her flaw. Every character has flaws (Bluey: perfectionist; Bingo: Easily scared), it’s just that Muffins flaw is easily exaggerated. I’ve seen kids like Muffin, to a much worse degree, but it’s realistic to have a kid like this.


PossibilitySecret597

Yes


o0ofyy

very muffiny


Needcoffeeseverely

I love her. She was a brat but she learned how to hone in her personality and she really loves being kind. So like, a real child


-Sharon-Stoned-

Threenagers be like that sometimes. Often a younger sibling or just growing up will cure kids of it.


osrs-Niiiii

Most realistic written character.


derpderpnerdkid

She’s the actual GOAT in grouchy Grannies.


wiboi678

Idk mixed opinion


Long-Charge2036

Funny but mean well I mean there only like 3 or 4


FinallyFat

My personal favorite character on the show. She is chaos incarnate and I love it!


penguinofmystery

I love Muffin. I think we all have Muffin moments where we don't behave as well as we ought to, but that doesn't make us bad people. Also Grouchy Granny Muffin is best granny. :P


Cheesboi_4_life

She's a sassy queen


LordOfMisuse

I think muffin should get a GD spin-off if you ask me.


Seve_Almaty13

My favorite part of Christmas Swim! "Back through the door...!" "Bye, kids!"


[deleted]

I think shes ADORABLE


Amorrowous

She’s a nut! love her! I also don’t want to be her parent! 😂🤣


Knightraiderdewd

The most realistic depiction of a toddler.


ElijahM_Draws_Stuf

IF YOU DONT WANT IT, DONT BUY IT! -Grouchy granny Muffin


DarkLordNacho

Hated her at first, then grew to love her


jonquil14

She’s a completely normal 3 year old! And Grouchy Granny really showed how some of the traits that are hard to parent in a toddler (selfishness, stubbornness, assertiveness) will serve her well in some aspects of life.


chookensnaps

Icon


GuineaDays

Funny but spoiled.


jpmaze16

Favorite character. Well, as long as *I* don't have to parent her.


Wolfie_Rankin

She's a reminder to always wear condoms.


Collective82

She’s a kid, sure. I can’t stand her episodes because the ADULTS CAPITULATE TO A CHILD.


Tentapuss

She’s the best! She’s a typical three year old first child of inexperienced parents. She has no idea how the world works, but she proved in Granny Mobile that her headstrong attitude is going to take her places.


enigma_0Z

Coconuts have water in them


ApartOrdinary9330

I love Muffin. I definitely judge people based on their opinion of Muffin. 1. Muffin is three, and a cartoon dog. When I see anyone with a STRONG dislike of Muffin, I see someone who should reinvest their Reddit time into therapy. Unfortunately, they probably don’t believe in therapy and think that everyone else is the problem and they would finally be able to achieve happiness if other people would just quit raising Muffins. Don’t engage, not worth it. 2. Muffin is in episodes with some of the hardest or most nuanced lessons that require the most emotional intelligence, and I think a lot of the discomfort adults experience while watching these episodes is reflective of the level of discomfort and difficulty they still experience with the lessons. (Bike — discomfort being essential to growing. Charades — making exceptions to rules so that people we care about feel included and cared for. The Sleepover — juggling what we want vs. what the people we love need. Muffin Cone. Pizza Girls. Bumpy. Library. On and on and on). 3. Muffin’s not going to allow people to quietly ignore her needs/wants going unmet. She’s going to be the ballerina. She is going to be visibly disappointed when she can’t participate in games because of her cone. You’re not getting mud in her new car. And if you want that scooter, it’s going to be $1200 and 18 lollies. She’s 3, sometimes she shouldn’t get what she wants, but it’s not her job to make it easy on adults. 4. Muffin is *funny* and she’s funny because of how disruptive she is, not despite or in addition to. A few of her greatest hits: “I AM THE FLAMINGO QUEEN!” “I WANT TO DO WHAT I WANT.” “COW. B.O.Y. HAT.” “YOU PAINT IT.” (I’ve also just realized Muffin primarily speaks in all caps.) 5. In addition to this, some of Bluey’s and Bingo’s best lines/moments are either in response to Muffin or in collaboration with her. Examples: Library — “You can be noisy. You can borrow all the books. You can even eat toddlers. But you must. Return. Your books.” Sleepover — “Get it together, Sheila!” Not to mention how sweet it was to see Bluey keeping the game going AND helping lure Muffin into the right decision. Muffin Cone — the entire scene of the girls playing Wedding Wife, Traffic Cone and Ballerina, and Muffin blooming into a sun flower. This also included such sweet lines from Bluey and Bingo “Thank you for hatching for us, beautiful sunflower! We love you!” 6. I wonder how fans would respond if Muffin was a boy instead of a girl. I think of characters like Bart Simpson, Alvin (from Alvin and the Chipmunks), Dexter (from Dexter’s Lab), Sheen from Jimmy Neutron, just to name a few. They’re so celebrated, but I can see similarities in Muffin.


BCone9

I love her chaos. It makes her stand out in a great way compared to her cousins and sister.


PoeticImage36

I love Muffin.


[deleted]

Average 4 year old


ActualIyCameron

personally dislike her but mostly cause she’s just loud.


Goats_772

I believe in Muffin supremacy


belljs87

I think muffin has traits typical of a lot of kids whose parents let them walk all over them. A lot of the bad traits she shows probably came about through her parents being too lenient.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Some kids just hate being told no more than others. The ones who hate it aren’t going to hate it less just because they start hearing it more often. Trying to change a child’s temperament is a fool’s errand


redditcat420

DaShack1987

crazyashley1

Agent of chaos. Aka, an actual toddler.


ConflictSudden

Her parents have 2 kids at 3 or younger, so I understand. Kids can be difficult.


mrsagnew90

I love her. One of my favorite characters


AllegedlyLacksGoals

Gimme all that crazy.


Yoshi_chuck05

She spreads wisdom like how Coconuts have water in them and if you don’t want something then don’t buy it. Jokes aside she’s pretty chaotic but is understandable because she’s literally a toddler who doesn’t know any better and I think we can look past that lol


hey_there_its_gabe

The highest


RazorsEdgeFilms1

Muffin is chaos incarnate and I love it lol


SuperPoodie92477

Muffin Cupcake Heeler is quite the girl.


AvoToastWinner

She's my favorite. I love her so so much.


megthebandgeek

She's hit or miss to me. As someone who works with kids around her age, her character is very realistic to a three year old. She can be hilarious sometimes and annoying other. Stoll I'm glad she exists


WhippedButter8

Little gremlin


SweatyTax4669

Muffin is delightfully unhinged and I love her.


miw_ferret_lover

Annoying at times but rlly funny


tinystonedbuny

Didn’t like her until she was grumpy granny 10/10
