Recap / Bluey Chickenrat

Go To

It's bedtime, but Bingo can't find her stuffed bunny Floppy, having lost him while playing a game involving a "chickenrat egg" with Bluey and Bandit. Chilli helps Bingo find Floppy by retracing her steps.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Anachronic Order: The story unfolds via alternating flashbacks and exposition.
  • Exactly What It Says on the Tin: While pretending to be a customer at a breakfast restaurant, Bandit asks Bluey (the waiter) for an egg. But not just any egg, it has to be a chickenrat egg. Bluey wonders what a chickenrat is. And (surprise, surprise) Bandit describes it's a hybrid between a rat and a chicken.
  • Gasshole: Bandit, though he burps throughout the episode rather than fart (though some airings change it to sneezing).
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: Happens to Bandit twice over. First he eats sauerkraut, despite Chilli's warning that it'll make him gassy. Then in Bluey's Restaurant game, Bandit asks for a chickenrat egg, thinking this impossible request will make the children leave him alone for a bit. Instead, Bluey and Bingo decide to get their magic wand and turn Bandit himself into a chickenrat, to make him lay the egg. Then he runs and tries to hide from the kids, but his burps (from the sauerkraut) give him away.
  • Title Drop: "Chickenrat" is mentioned as part of Bluey's game of brunch.

Bandit has some sauerkraut for lunch despite Bluey and Bingo's warning that it makes him burp. True to their word, he ends up burping at inopportune times throughout the episode.
