* JinxGame: In [[Recap/BlueyFairytale "Fairy Tale"]], Bandit gets jinxed by his older brother Radley, and the whole family uses Bandit's silence to rag on him for the rest of the day. Everyone regards this as just deserts for how Bandit had been [[BigBrotherBully bullying his younger brother Stripe]] up to this point. A much older Bandit, looking back on this incident, regards it as an important moment teaching him to be a kinder person.

* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:The ending of 'Surprise!', which is set in the future, shows that Bluey has had a child by an unknown father. The child has Bluey's fur patterning, but the colors seem to indicate that it could be either Mackenzie's or Jean-Luc's, with this likely having been done to avoid upsetting any fans that shipped Bluey with either of the two.]]

** "Onesies" has the family, along with Chilli's visiting sister Brandy, trying to evade Bingo, who has mentally become a cheetah due to putting on a Cheetah onesie. It's all fun, until Bluey, hiding with Chilli, asks why Brandy hasn't visited in four years. While Chilli explains that there was something Brandy wanted but couldn't have, we see Brandy playfully wrestling with Bingo, but when Bingo rolls out of her arms and runs to find the others, the perspective is of Brandy's arms reaching toward Bingo, suggesting that she [[spoiler:either couldn't find someone to have kids with, or (as many viewers suspect) she is infertile, and ''can't'' have kids - making visits to the silly Heeler household both joyful and painful]].

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: The dogs in ''Bluey'' typically wear only accessories, such as a hat or glasses. When characters wear clothing to denote their occupation--such as the tradies in "Tradies," Alfie the toy store assistant in "The Quiet Game," or the police officer in "The Sign"--they tend to wear [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal only the top half.]] The only fully-dressed dog we see in the show proper is Rusty's dad, who wears a full set of military fatigues, though Chilli and Bandit's wedding portrait also shows Bandit in a full tuxedo with trousers and Chilli in a wedding gown. (Underwear exists in this universe but [[RuleOfFunny only when it's funny.]])
