YMMV / Bluey: The Sign

• Accidental Aesop: This article makes a firm point that the episode could install in young viewers the belief that “if you really don’t want something to happen, it won’t”, giving false hope for kids in military families who constantly have to move.
• Genius Bonus: The story that Calypso tells to her students is actually a real Taoist parable called “The Story of the Chinese Farmer”.
• I Knew It!:
  • Ever since the title of the episode was revealed, people speculated that the eponymous sign was a "for sale" sign, and thus it would focus on the Heelers moving house, or possibly moving house. Quite a few people also predicted that the Heelers would not end up actually moving, since not only is Status Quo Is God a trope, their house has featured in several official attractions and there have been flash forwards to the future that showed them still living in Brisbane in several episodes.
  • As soon as it was revealed that the episode would include a wedding, pretty much everyone predicted that the couple getting married would be Rad and Frisky.
  • When it was said that Flappy the butterfly was going to return and that he'd^note He is visibly a male butterfly, since females have different markings have some symbolic meaning, some people thought that it would mean Brandy would adopt a child. While they were wrong about that, they were right in that Brandy would finally become a mother (she ended up getting pregnant).
• Like You Would Really Do It: With episodes that show flash forwards to the future (e.g. a flash forward to Bingo and Lila growing up and attending the same schools all through graduation in the ending of "Daddy Dropoff", which wouldn’t be possible if Bingo had moved out of Brisbane), it can be hard for fans to believe that the Heeler family would actually move cities.
• Spoiled by the Format: When Frisky drives away and angrily calls off the wedding after her and Rad’s heated argument on the phone, and there’s about fifteen minutes of the special remaining on a show where everything gets resolved in seven, you know that Rad and Frisky will make up and go forward with the marriage.
