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?

    5yo, no accent, but he does say dunny now on occasion.

    Between Anne Reardon, Oliver (Drain Addict) and bluey I fear I might pick up some myself soon.
