Teasing is the forty-eighth episode of the first season of Bluey.
Synopsis
Bluey, Bingo and Mum get into a debate with Dad about the definition of teasing. As they recall all the times where he's been a big teaser, Dad argues that he was only just playing.
Episode Recap
Best Bits: Bandit dressed up as a mum.
Life Lesson: If you’re willing to give it - be willing to accept it, and there is a difference between playing and teasing.
Bluey is teasing Bingo by holding her toothbrush out of reach.... setting the scene for what is essentially a roll out of Dad Jokes / Bandits teasing games he plays on the girls.
First up the girls recall “Password” where Dad blocks a doorway and won’t let Bluey through until she guesses the next password. Then there’s “Name Change” where he insists on calling Bluey and Bingo by different names (Sharalanda for Bingo and Dennis for Bluey). Bingo brings up “Pretending to be Mum” when Bingo is looking for her and Dad puts on a falsetto voice, and waxes lyrical about how handsome he is. Then there’s the threat of selling the kids to the “Monkey house” when they visit the Zoo. Followed by Dad pretending to turn his voice “Volume Knob” down so Bingo can’t have a conversation with him.
Bandit tries to maintain his innocence, whilst also questioning some of the things that the kids bring up. Chilli brings up an (obviously recurring) episode that she thinks is definitely teasing - Dad farting and blaming one of the kids. And when Bingo brings up the time she asked him to open an ice block for her, and he started to eat it, he agrees that MAY have been teasing.
But in an attempt to regain some high ground, Bandit reflects on the above mentioned episodes where he thinks the girls were teasing HIM.
“Password” ended with Bluey pushing him over and blowing a raspberry at him. “Name Change” ended with the girls changing Dad's name to “Shubi-do-wa”. “Pretending to be Mum” ended up with the kids turning him INTO a mum complete with makeup, a boa and a handbag. Selling the kids to the “Monkey House” resulted in the girls acting like loud monkeys the whole car trip. And “Volume Knob” resulted in Bingo taking Dad's volume control and turning her own volume up to yell at him.
Everyone laughs and Bandit deduces that there IS a difference between teasing and playing... we just don’t know what it is as Bingo turns his “Volume Knob” down!
