Bandit and the girls are playing on the trampoline, when he goes to leave. The girls want him to stay, so they grab hold of him, but he struggles free. Then, they try to get him to stay by offering him a pretend breakfast. He decides to play the game.

The girls lie on the trampoline and pretend to be toast, and Bandit picks them up and pretends to toast them. He pretends to eat Bluey and complain that she's "raw", then leaves. The girls still want him to stay, so they try to convince him to add "juice" to his game.

He decides to go along with it and pretends his daughters are fruit (Bluey chooses a blackberry and Bingo chooses a banana) and pretends to blend them into juice. He then pretends to drink them and spit them out, then is about to go to work, but the girls convince him to stay and pretend they're eggs.

He reluctantly accepts it and he pretends to fry and scramble the girls. He then finally goes to leave, but they grab hold of him again. Chilli arrives and tells the girls to let him go to work, which they reluctantly do, but they're sad. As Bandit packs his computer, Bluey sadly talks to him about not having a job, though he consoles her by saying that her "job" is to invent games.

Once Bandit is gone, Bingo doesn't know what to play, so Bluey embraces her role as the game-maker and moves the lawn sprinkler under the trampoline to play with. The girls then invite Chilli to join in, pretending to be salad.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Does Not Like Spam: Bandit claims to hate raspberries and rock melon.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: At one point, Bluey is sad that her father has a job and she doesn't (though he assures her that hers is making up games).
  • Miss Imagination: Bandit tells Bluey that her job is making up games for her and Bingo to play, and that it’s more important than she thinks.
  • Not So Above It All: While Bandit is usually the one to indulge in the kids’ games, Chili throws down her gardening and jumps right into the trampoline to play Bluey’s salad tossing game with them.
  • The Pratfall: Bluey and Bingo fall down on their rears when Bandit pries them off himself.
  • Rule of Three: Bluey and Bingo convince their dad three times to stay by convincing him to play a trampoline game based on breakfast foods (juice, toast and eggs).
  • Rule of Symbolism: Bluey and Bingo offer their respective parents (Bandit/Chili) to play a food game on the trampoline (Breakfast/Salads) based on what time of day it is (Morning/Noon).
  • Speak in Unison:
    • When the girls grab hold of Bandit, they say, "No, don't go!" in unison.
    • Then, they say, "Hooray, toast!" in unison in anticipation of pretending to be toast.
    • When they try to convince Bandit to add juice to his game, they chant, "Juice! Juice! Juice!" at once.
    • When he tries to leave after the egg game, they say, "No, wait!" at once.
