A List Of Australian Slang From Bluey & Family

I never really paid attention to the duration of a Bluey episode, so watching Bluey for the first time felt so strange. I was really confused because the first episode felt very short. And I was not used to that at all.

There, I saw that all Bluey episodes were no longer than 10 minutes. In fact, most of season 1 were 9 minutes long. Most of the episodes for season 2 were 8 minutes long and a handful were 9 minutes long. Most of the episodes for season 3 were 8 minutes, one episode was about 30 minutes long, and another one for 7 minutes long. So, yes as you’ve guessed, Bluey doesn’t have very long episodes.

Anywayyy, that’s enough talk about the length of the Bluey episodes. Bluey is a hearty, comforting, huggy, warm bowl of soup that makes you feel all better. Like chicken noodle soup. Give it a watch and you’ll know what I mean. You might even find yourself using Aussie slang, just like the Heelers, before you know it!
