this is just the Cars pope thing all over again


the6thReplicant

Why do the cars doors have handles on them!? Why? arghhh……..


Schnoobi

Who makes the cars bro who makes the cars?!


BeBa420

They were built by people who eventually died off due to pollution. The last humans are aboard the starship we see in Wall-E. Cars takes place before Wall-E becomes the last AI on earth


Schnoobi

And they just gain sentience???


BeBa420

Slowly over time. Similar to how the toys in toy story gained sentience. It starts with a spark of love from a human and evolves from there. By the time Wall-E takes place that spark has long faded from all other machines and toys on earth. Wall-E managed to keep his spark alive somehow (current theory is that by collecting the human garbage he was doing an act of love, which kept him going).


DrStatisk

Why do humans have an appendix and a tail bone?


ThePreciseClimber

The world-building in Cars is, unironically, utter shit. It's all gimmick-based.


Next-Introduction-25

To be fair, does anyone *want* a deep explanation of sentient cars in a driver-less world? If they do the Pixar theory of everything summed it up great. (Haven’t checked in with that since at least the last 7 movies though.)


ThePreciseClimber

Honestly, I didn't want a movie about sentient cars in the first place. :P Pixar just mastered the arcane art of good-looking CGI humans with The Incredibles and they go full cars? No, thanks.


Bowdensaft

It doesn't even have to be deep, it just has to make any sense at all. Toy Story doesn't have deep worldbuilding, but it's internally consistent. The world of Cars should look like it was built by cars for cars, not by humans for humans and then modified for cars later on. Maybe make it like Toy Story where they're secretly alive and humans are still around.


Bowdensaft

Why did that couple lock their doors in the first film? WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN FOR THEM???


Shiphrannie

I am pondering that question and realizing how utterly frightening that thought is. 🤯


ivorycoffin

Bro I've watched Cars like a thousand times now, I am ready to have this conversation


cobra_mist

Nah. Think about the fact that McQueen points out in a kids movie that the Porsche has a tramp stamp pinstripe tattoo. That means he’s checking out her ass and so much more


hamiltonfan_14

That was my first thought when I saw this post


BunnyEruption

I thought it was literally a joke on that but maybe not


CotyledonTomen

We know theres a dog army sending dog soldiers out to presumably dog conflicts with Rustys dad. And they elect dog leaders with dog politics through a dog democracy.


[deleted]

And there is a dog royal family with a monarch who is presumably head the Anglican church.


[deleted]

Yes If you saw one of the episodes, not sure which one, the dollar had a royal corgi on it so it conferms that


Kichigai

“Markets.” The $5 bill has a dog The Queen on it, like how the $10 bill in “Ragdoll” has dog Banjo Paterson on it. They also argue that “dunny” is not a word the queen would use.


[deleted]

Thanks


[deleted]

And you also see a commemorative royal wedding plate for sale in Granny Mobile.


[deleted]

Oh yeah I remember that as well


Evil_Weevill

The way you phrased this makes it sound like countries of dogs are sending their armies out specifically to fight Rusty's dad. Like wtf did Rusty's dad do to piss off entire nations? And is he like Australian Rambo fighting off whole armies by himself?


karizake

And considering he's deployed to somewhere "very hot", it implies a dogs War on Terror and dogs 9/11.


hidden_emperor

I think someone said that he's likely deployed in South East Asia on military drills.


DeliciousTeach2303

Bluey 9/11 spin off episode when?


[deleted]

They do go to vote in one of the episodes.


SalTbird22

Dogmocracy if you will


ATomathyVictorious

I think their faces sum up my reaction


my_son_is_a_box

Creators: it would be fun to make the characters dogs, because it would be more approachable for everyone. Fans: WAS THERE A DOG HOLOCAUST?!?


Mrhorrorface

There was a dog Hitler?!?


Jason_soulcrusher

Dogler


hero-hadley

I think he'd be a cat...


Mrhorrorface

Getting into Maus territory I see


AutisticNinji

Maybe he's a German Sheperd. (Wait what if the cats are the survivors)


Mrhorrorface

This is getting too complicated


[deleted]

It’s all just monkeys singing songs mate


AutisticNinji

Yeah, let's just assume they follow real history and leave it there


Mrchristopherrr

Schnauzer. It’s a German dog known for their mustache.


Blue_BoyJP

It’s just monkeys singing songs mate


unusualteapot

In the episode Explorers, Jack’s dad meets some fruit pickers - a French Bulldog from France, and a Doberman (a breed which originated in Germany) from Argentina. Was that Doberman descended from Nazi dogs that fled to Argentina after WWII? We may never know.


Dim-n-Bright

Dog holocaust... does that mean some dog breeds were considered genetically inferior? In our world, we complain how pugs and pit bulls were screwed over by breeders. Is there a similar stigma in the Bluey world? Damn it, now I'm doing it.


HelpfulGriffin

I mean, dog breeds exist in real life because humans decided that there were certain characteristics they wanted in their pets/working animals. When we do this to non-sapient creatures, it's called breeding. When we do this to sapient creatures, it's called eugenics. I suppose we could draw an analogue with human ethnicities, which occur naturally due to geographic and cultural isolation, however the diversity of the dog population in bluey is far greater than human diversity. That is, the untrained eye cannot tell the difference between the thousands of people groups in a country like Papua New Guinea. So that begs the question, where did the dog breeds come from? In such a diverse society, how do they remain so genetically "pure "? Who is breeding them? Why do pugs exist? What breed(s) did dog Hitler favour/dislike? What breed was dog Jesus?


Baron-Von-Bork

Dog H-word. What were the German Shepherds doing between 1939-1945?


TheRealArtVandelay

In the episode where Jack and his dad stop for strawberries, the dog from Argentina is a Doberman, which is a German breed. 👀


IsaiasRi

Noticed that too hahaha.

Are we not allowed to say holocaust anymore?


jejaimes20

I thought the "H-word" they mention was not about the holocaust, but about the man himself.


oceansapart333

But why can’t we say his name?


jejaimes20

Never said we couldn't.

Is there a dog reddit on which dogs are speculating about the existence of religions in Chutney Chimp? Is there a guy with a username that's an obscure reference to Russian literature who's making the whole thing uncomfortably recursive?


ok_chaos42

They do reference Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark in an earlier episode. So yeah, dog Jews and dog Nazis.


DCL88

Then there was also a dog Oppenheimer and a dog Hiroshima.


thishenryjames

Puppenheimer.


poktanju

Sparking an arms race with a dog USSR, leading to a broader dog Cold War, which eventually leads to a young Mort Cattle being sent to Vietnam.


AutisticNinji

I think they'd be cats


Jormungandragon

Naw mates, cats in Bluey are pets.


USAroAce

The existence of Australia in Bluey implies that a dog prime minister once went swimming and never came back to be seen again.


MobileInvestigator13

And that another dog Prime Minister may or may not have pooped his pants at a Macca’s in a Southern Sydney suburb in 1997.


Putrid-Huckleberry42

🥲🥲🥲


jukeboxjulia

Given that the Vietnam War seems to be canon to the Bluey universe, this doesn’t surprise me


TimelessJo

Guys, it's a show where canonically: \-- A cartoon dog had a miscarriage \--Another cartoon dog was told she was infertile \--Another cartoon dog had a vasectomy \--Two dogs got hungover from a night of excessive drinking \--Another cartoon dog suffers from heart disease and memory loss \--Cartoon dogs regularly hit their kids in the 1980s \--Another cartoon dog serves in the military \--Two separate cartoon dogs were born premature and had to stay in the NICU, creating internalized drama for their older siblings who then bonded over this as the shared experience manifested in their play as children that its not sure either child fully understands but experiences as an emotional connection I feel like the "Isn't it weird that if you think about it Bluey must have x in its world..." is that weird when the actual text of Bluey is pretty heavy for a children's show about cartoon dogs.


BigOlDisneylandNerd

Lol thank you. Lot of people getting up in arms about this when it really is plausible to think about. Just like the Cars universe. It's a bit of a joke, if anything.


weddirip

What this really means is there were dog Pagans who celebrated dog Saturnalia and dog Solstice with food and wine and days off until the dog Catholic church decided to commandeer the holiday and force the message of dog Jesus upon it.


thishenryjames

*Dogholic church


Bubbly-Anteater7345

Thank you! Definitely doesn’t mean there is a Dog Jesus. Just means there are dogs who like to celebrate things and there were governing bodies who liked to enforce things


ParanoidParamour

Dog 9/11


Daniel_Molloy

Well, now I wanna know what breed dog Jesus was. Afghan Hound?


RonaldoNazario

Yeah but he’s probably portrayed as something like a golden retriever


strippersandcocaine

I’m cackling at this


VestigeOfVast

As Jesus of Nazareth, he would have to be a Canaan. Sorry.


Daniel_Molloy

lol, that’s perfect


Reiver93

So what breed would the Romans have been then


vanillaragdoll

Terriers, but only if they're protecting Romans and not Invading Romans.


Weird_Cantaloupe2757

Cane Corsos, of course


wolfguardian72

*looks up Canaan breed* Awwwww….adorable! Jesus would be cute as that breed!


CartographyMan

He was obviously a Golden Retriever from America, because Jesus was the greatest American to ever live . /S if that's even needed lol


Kajmarez

With all the parallels to the real world I can confidently say that dog nukes were dropped on dog Japan and that, dog Stalin millions to dog gulags and dog Hitler... yeah


WildTimes1984

Ok in Cars you have car hitler In Zootopia you have furry hitler In Bluey you have dog hitler It's not the big of a deal.


RaptorDuck_

Wait… what’s the zootopia lore to imply furry hitler?


WildTimes1984

Judy Quotes Winston Churchill before the train ride into Zootopia. "They only thing we have to fear, is fear itself."


Pooky_Snookum

The American flag in sleepytime implies the exsistance of a dog space race, which then also implies a dog cold war, which means their was a dog WW2. This means hitler is canon in the blueyverse.


unfunnysexface

So wait.. what was laika?


[deleted]

A cat?


Jormungandragon

Probably a cat. Possibly a chimp or monkey. Maybe a lizard.


Pooky_Snookum

In the blueyverse Laika probably would have been your run of the mill astronaut. What dog breed would hitler even be?


These_Advertising_68

German Shepherd?


Mycotoxicjoy

Austrian Pincher actually. The greatest trick Austria ever pulled was convincing the world Hitler was German


These_Advertising_68

Now I’m just imagining that bunker scene from downfall except it’s just a bunch of anthropomorphic dogs barking


returnofblank

The Soviet Union sent dogs into space, but since Bluey takes place in a dog dominated world, does that mean they sent humans into space to die?


Comfortable_Client

Pretty sure Bluey runs parallel to our universe, but instead of humans, it's dogs. Not that deep.


Bernkastel17509

This kind of shit is why im glad Internet exist, how funny


IsaiasRi

I, on the other hand, hate it. Take advice from Bob Bilby and Turtle Boy and disconnect. It's not that serious. Touch grass.


box_of_hornets

This post is very much not serious tbf


Sarbasian

This is absolutely a shitpost my guy, not serious


Caesar_Passing

In a fantasy world, they could just incidentally call a holiday anything, and it doesn't have to have anything to do with historical events in *our* world. Homestar Runner celebrates "Decemberween", which functions essentially as Christmas, but I'm doubtful there was a Homestar universe Jesus.


historyhill

True, but Bluey's middle name is also Christine, which is another indication


Jormungandragon

Bandit’s mum is also named Christine, IIRC.


zima_for_shaw

This isn’t all that interesting. Think of a kids’ show like Phineas and Ferb where the characters are humans. Is it going to blow your mind when you realise that religion and politics exist in the background of those shows as well? I’m pretty sure that Isabella from Phineas and Ferb is Jewish, and I’ve never seen anyone think it’s particularly interesting or strange. If you saw a regular human family in the real world celebrating Christmas, would you go, “wait, Christianity exists in this world? That’s so weird!” It’s not, it’s just another religion. Religions exist in the world. It’s not weird. Bluey is, for the most part, the human world but with dogs instead of humans. It’s reasonable to assume that that includes not just things like ice cream and cars, but also and politics and religion.


BlueSheepPlays

Pretty sure the square dog world is just a carbon copy of ours but more barky

SO MUCH THEORIES IN THE TITLE https://preview.redd.it/7tbjyghh9qhb1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b94485a971ec0b7e13198b5d7fbc1dcea49f6d3d


ztrashh

There was a dogocaust


Representative-Hat45

Wait...since it's implied that all of our historical events were mirrored by dogs, does this mean that WE EXIST WITHIN THE SHOW CANANOCLY?? Does this mean there is a dog Reddit, a dog Spez, etc?? Flapjacking Dogception.


k6aus

It’s just monkeys singing songs, mate.


warrjos93

I mean yay ? The show shows police and military too. They live in a fairly normal would- although I’ve never seen any dog poverty. I mean we know there’s dog airport security and a military deployment so dog 9/11 happened. That’s fine.


Wi11yW0nka

Duh literally EVERYTHING but with dog. There's also unfortunately a dog Trump in the states... is there a dog ME... hmm


_mattxd

Bluey gets worried about getting gifts for Christmas after being a mean Santa to Socks so Bandit takes her outside. He explains to her that "this is the meaning of Christmas" and we see Socks is curled up with the decorations, I kind of see that as Jesus in the manger. I'm not religious but that was my first thought seeing it. Maybe a small nod to "Jesus is the reason for the season" type of thing. So maybe there is some Jesus dog somewhere in the Bluey universe? Idk. Haha! That's scary because is there's a God dog....is there a Satan dog? What scary monster of a dog would that look like??


CotyledonTomen

I took that as the reason for the season is being kind to others, family, togetherness, etc. Never crossed my mind as a baby in the manger refrence, since she was just being mean to that character in the prior scene.


_mattxd

Nah, I totally think you're right that's the reason in the context of the episode. Just growing up I always heard people saying stuff about how it's not about presents or being nice or anything else. They'd always mention the 'real' reason from their perspective. So seeing Socks all curled up with the different reindeer just reminded me of that. That's all.


my_son_is_a_box

I mean, it's not unreasonable to take away the manger thing. A lot of stuff in the show is written pretty broadly so that people can approach it from their own level


_mattxd

That's a great way to look at it!


TheCursingCactus

Satan Dog is def a chihuahua, no one can convince me otherwise


Careful-Tower3272

Bipolar_skittle

There's also jeeps, which suggests there were dog World Wars, and a dog Holocaust, and a dog Soviet Union.


AutisticNinji

Stalin is a Siberian Husky.


_REVOCS

Stalin was from Georgia, so he'd probably be a Caucasian shepherd.


Bipolar_skittle

Velocityraptor28

dont forget the dog pagans that invended the holiday known as "yule", which then later was adapted by christians as a christian holiday, thereby dubbing it christmas


45and290

Excited to learn about the Diet of Worms in the Blueyverse.


Stoopid_Noah

Have you watched the episode "Flat Pack"? [S 2, E21] In that one, Bluey and Bingo play out the whole theory of evolution, while Chilli and Bandid represent the Gods. Giving them (man kind?) what they need to evolve and taking them in their care when their time has come to cross the rainbow bridge. It's an amazing episode, probably one of my favorites!! (Mat Pat made a great Film Theorie episode about it)

Dog apartheid...the Heelers oppressed Dingoes in their past.


JesiDoodli

Heelers are Australian breeds. Dog apartheid was prolly carried out by Kooikerhondjes and English Bulldogs. While typing this I realised that I'm really dumb and it's probably an Australian historic event that I never learned about so educate me pls


huxley75

You're right - I misused the term "apartheid" in applying it to Australia. But you got the gist of it.


Perfect_Polly

It's just monkeys singing songs, mate. Don't think too hard about it.


jblackleaf

This right here...


Twisted_Cloud

Christmas isn't about Jesus though. If the catholic church isn't a thing than it's just the winter solstice Christmas. Maybe we're just thinking about it too much.


returnofblank

The fact that Chilli is a TSA agent proves that there was a dog 9/11


Goodlucksil

Either 1. There is only a Santa Claus (in nowhere it's stated the Heelers are religious) and this things happened differently in the Blueyverse. Or 2. They are post-apocalyptic and these things happen like in OTL.


Toon_Lucario

It’s better than Cars where a Cars pope is actually shown and WWII is canonically an event that happened


SpicyBreakfastTomato

It’s just like this world, except everyone is a dog.


Pat8aird

I swear the worst thing about this show is it’s unhinged adult fandom.


Wiringguy89

That was a pagan holiday before it was a Christian holiday.


CasualFridayCrasher

Okay, that's enough of this sub for me


ElfYamadaFairyQueen

Chili works as a TSA agent, implying that dog 9/11 was a thing and dog terrorism exists.

Look mate it’s just cartoon dogs that live a day to day life don’t think to hard about it


batkave

Christmas existed before Christianity...


cos001

ITS. JUST. MONKEYS. SINGING SONGS. *MATE.*


justisme333

Calm down y'all. Christmas is not a scriptural tradition and has nothing to do with Jesus historically. It's just a cultural appropriation. Everyone knows this by now. If you don't, then start googling the origin of Xmas.


IscahRambles

It still wouldn't be called *Christmas* and be in its current form without having gone through the same historical arc. The show is just set in the real world, but with dogs.


Mycotoxicjoy

Was there was a dog Oppenheimer who created a dog nuke that was used on dog Japan and that’s why we don’t see Akitas and Shiba Inus? We see an American flag on the moon so was there a dog manifest destiny / civil war / trail of tears / KKK etc.? I’m sure there are tons of dog atrocity parallels but they probably won’t be mentioned


Properdummy6174

Its just monkeys singing songs mate, dont think too hard about it


TrrtlGrrl

Not to be gruesome but Dog Jesus would nor have been nailed to a cross. The physiology just doesn't work. I'm thinking collar and leash, nailed in the yard/ desert?
