Bluey wants to know why Dad's always bossing her around.


Tropes:

  • Aesop Amnesia: Invoked. Bandit is a bit puzzled that the girls are questioning why they have to do what he says, calling back to the events of "Tina", which had the same moral. Bluey cheerfully states she learned nothing from that experience, to Bandit's disappointment.
  • Blah, Blah, Blah: Happens with both Chili and Bandit. When they're giving over-long instructions to Bingo and Bluey (respectively), each time we get a shot from the child's perspective, where she just hears the parent say "Blah blah blah..." with a few random real words interspersed. This illustrates the point that kids tune out when being given instructions that are too complicated for them to understand.
  • Call-Back: When Bluey asks Bandit why she and Bingo have to do what he says, Bandit brings up the events of "Tina", which was meant to teach the lesson that adults tell children what to do for their own good.
  • Directionless Driver: Invoked In-Universe with Bandit trying to teach Bluey and Bingo a lesson, by intentionally ignoring Sat-Nav to the point they end up at a cemetery.
  • Hard Truth Aesop: Teaching one's child a specific life lesson isn't always going to be a one and done deal. Sometimes, it will slip their minds, and you may have to keep teaching them.
  • Never Say "Die": Bingo calls a certain locale, which is clearly a cemetery, "Statue World".
  • Symbolism: After intentionally ignoring his Sat-Nav, Bandit ends up at a cemetery instead of his intended destination—demonstrating that pointlessly ignoring instructions is a great way to wind up prematurely dead with your goals unfulfilled. The specific symbolism is lost on Bingo, who just refers to the place as "Statue World".
