History YMMV / Bluey

** The ending of The Sign is either seen as a heartwarming powerful and emotional

** As of late 2023-early 2024 due to the immense amount of [[SacredCow hype for the series]], its nature as one of the few modern day animated shows to not get ScrewedByTheNetwork while other beloved cartoons (often the story cartoons aimed at older audiences) getting screwed instead, it's [[CashCowFranchise immense merchandise amounts]] causing it to be near unavoidable anytime you enter many shops or go online shopping, the infamous [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames videogame adaptation]] introducing it to people who couldn't care less about it, the chaotic actions of the fandom from 2023, and an infamous Las Vegas restaurant Bluey scam which went viral that despite the show's immense love by its fans, Bluey has since become an enemy of practically almost every cartoon fandom outside some mentioned below in FriendlyFandoms with most mentions of Bluey and praise of it outside the shows subreddit having most of the other fans mocking the fact that teens and adults are watching Bluey instead of "more mature" shows with some even attempting targeted harassment to Bluey fans for daring to like a preschool show. As a result of the backlash, Bluey fans have since become apprehensive of giving shows that aren't Bluey a chance.

** Muffin's immediate family has a lot of fans for being something of a collective JuniorCounterpart to her cousin Bluey's family. However, aspects of their dynamic have earned significant criticism for enabling bad behavior both in-universe and in real life.

** Muffin, due to her being a volatile tantrum-thrower. Some adult viewers, even parents, find her to be a hilarious and [[FountainOfMemes highly quotable]] character and like how she reminds them of a "Muffin" in their own lives, while others find her and her behavior to be incredibly obnoxious and ''dislike'' how she reminds them of a "Muffin" in own lives. Some parents have even banned episodes featuring her from their households when their kids started to emulate her behavior.

** Stripe and Trixie. Their critics see them as frequently absent parents who spoil Muffin (especially Stripe) and often leave the parenting to one or the other, or to Bandit and Chili. Some even accuse them of playing favorites with Muffin, which they cite as a possible reason why she usually visits her cousins with one or both of her parents with Socks nowhere to be seen or mentioned. Their defenders see them as trying their best to be involved parents in both of their children's activities, while working a more difficult schedule than either Bandit or Chili, and will point out that Muffin and Socks are much younger and understandably more difficult to handle than Bluey and Bingo, especially since Stripe and Trixie often have to deal with Muffin's BrattyHalfPint tendencies.

*** WordOfGod revealed in 2023 that it was because Chilli had a miscarriage at some point, but even before the reveal, people were wondering if this was the case, with the consensus being that it happened before the girls' births. While the miscarriage part is revealed to be true, no statement was made on when it happened, so some fans think it happened before the girls were born (due to the balloon meaning to represent Bluey and "Sleepytime" showing the Heelers as the solar system and Bluey is Venus while Mercury is blank), others thinking it happened after Bingo (due to the nursery being open in "Bedroom") and a third camp thinking that she had ''two'' miscarriages, making both ideas true. People are also split on ''why'' it happened, with some thinking it happened from shock after Chilli's mother [[MissingMom died]], and others thinking the Cattle sisters have a genetic condition, which also explains why Brandy can't have children.

** "Exercise" -- its fans see it as a fun episode with an important message about health, and enjoy the fact that a New Zealander was cast as the doctor, but the scene at the beginning where [[WeightWoe the parents weigh themselves and are unhappy about their weights]] is divisive -- some people see it as fat shaming and/or think it could make kids insecure about their weight, while others defend it by saying that being overweight ''can'' be unhealthy, that kids see their parents weighing themselves or watch shows with fat jokes all the time without developing issues, and that Bandit has been insecure about his health and/or weight before (such as in "Ice Cream" and "Grannies"). Eventually, that scene got cut, but that also caused fights, with some thinking it was good it got cut and others thinking it was bad due to either the aforementioned reasons or simply seeing the show as a SacredCow.

** Stripe and Trixie. Their critics see them as frequently absent parents who spoil Muffin (especially Stripe) and often leave the parenting to one or the other, or to Bandit and Chili. Some even accuse them of playing favorites with Muffin, which they site as a possible reason why she usually visits her cousins with one or both of her parents with Socks nowhere to be seen or mentioned. Their defenders see them as trying their best to be involved parents in both of their children's activities, while working a more difficult schedule than either Bandit or Chili, and will point out that Muffin and Socks are much younger and understandably more difficult than Bluey and Bingo, especially since Stripe and Trixie often have to deal with Muffin's BrattyHalfPint tendencies.

** In a sense, it is also one to ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', as a cartoon that is aimed at younger children but became wildly and unexpectedly popular with audiences of all ages because of its clever writing, lovable characters and willingness to tackle sometimes-difficult subjects.
