  • Bile Fascination: The show's main claim to fame is that it's a boring Bluey ripoff made by a major right-wing media company. Some people bothered to check it out just to see if it's really as bad as reviewers say it is.
  • Cliché Storm: You have the Bumbling Dad, the intelligent mum, and the three children being dim-witted brats in need of learning a lesson or two.
  • Common Knowledge: Many YouTubers and news outlets claim that Ben Shapiro produced the show and he is credited as an executive producer, when it was actually produced by Eric Branscum. Ben Shapiro isn't even anywhere in the cast.
  • Fan-Preferred Cut Content: Many people preferred the initial designs of the show, given how it has a look of a 2000s cartoon, which many feel is more inspired than the Bluey-inspired designs they have.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: A Babylon Bee article suggests an American-made Moral Substitute to Bluey with more patriotic American accents.
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • "Mom, can we have Bluey?" "We have Bluey at home".Explanation 
    • Claiming that Chinny has a Karen haircut.
  • Questionable Casting: The Rexter T. action figure is voiced by Matt Walsh, who is well-known for being a right-wing newscaster with no history of voice acting. Then again, the show is produced by The Daily Wire, so it's hardly surprising. In a bit of trivia, not even his own children recognized his voice when watching the show and he had to rewind the video and point it out to them.
  • Tainted by the Preview: The show was controversial since its inception because it was produced by The Daily Wire (which itself is a controversial news company). It doesn't help that the show itself looks relatively uninspired and bland.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: While the show was already controversial even when it was announced simply by virtue of it being produced by The Daily Wire, the initial preview images of the cartoon did, for what it was worth, gain some positive reactions for its initial artstyle similar to many cartoons from the 2000s. When the show finally premiered, however, it was criticized for having a bland artstyle, with some commenters even specifically pointing to the initial character designs as better-looking and more recognisable as chinchillas.
  • They Copied It, So It Sucks!:
    • After the premier of the first season, many news articles dubbed it " a 'blatant Bluey knock-off' for conservatives".
    • The show is also accused of lifting the chinchilla's character designs from the cancelled Nickelodeon show Deer Squad.
