> Bluey is created by an auteur with a unique and hilarious point of view on the world. Conversely, Cocomelon — which started on YouTube — is algorithmic slop that has been called “crack for kids” and is probably as educational as taping strobe lights to your child’s eyeballs.

This line knocks it out of the park. I'm so glad that my kids never like Cocomelon, and still to this day, at age 7 and 10, like to watch Bluey. The worst part of them watching Bluey is that Dad sets unrealistic expectations for the rest of us! (a common topic on /r/daddit)

I'm curious about the unrealistic expectations set by Bluey's Dad. I did not find topic on r/daddit with a quick search. Could you expand on this ?

It's mostly in the comments. People saying that their kids expect them to be ready to play at any time because Bluey's dad is ready to play at any time. And then not being able to live up to those expectations.
