I'm so happy I finally got a chance to do an in depth talk about Bandit because of how amazing of a character he is, besides Jack, Bandit is definitely my favorite character. Speaking of Jack, I decided to wear my early birthday present Mrs Pugly got me of a custom made Jack shirt for this video, its different than my normal button downs but I couldn't help myself lol

The creator himself said he was sick of the stereotype of animated dads often being deadbeat/mean/and or stupid

[elisehoyt]

I like that there are literally zero episodes where bandit acts sad to have daughters, nor does anyone say they feeld bad for him not having sons. It's such a common, terrible, trope that puts blame on children for something they cant control especially because Bandit's excellent parenting points out that the gender of your child is irrelevenat when it comes to fully loving your children

[cpcoultertweedles]

I love the Duck Cake episode. It's one of Bandit's less perfect examples as a parent to Bluey: he's too busy baking to focus on teaching her a life lesson on why we need to do our jobs and help out. But he tries so earnestly to make the perfect cake for Bingo, and his reaction when the head falls off is so genuine. Bluey ends up learning her lesson naturally, not just from realizing that cleaning up the broken duck cake makes her tail wag, but also seeing how hard Bandit is willing to work at something he isn't comfortable with because he loves his daughters.

I love how this show doesn't dumb down or lessen the importance of the dad and shows how important both rolls of the parents is. I love how they show a healthy parenting style and the equal responsibility both parents have.

[lpsmadgirl]

To me, his flaws are what makes him such a good dad, a lot of times in kids media, fathers are either so good that they are one dimensional or so bad that you want to save the kids from them, but I feel like bandit is such a good example, because he makes mistakes, has character flaws that he still needs to work on or may never overcome which is so realistic and healthy, and he teaches dads that if you hurt your kids even unintentionally you still owe them an explanation and apology which so many real dads could benefit from.

I’d also like to point towards Adventure Time with men being emotional. Finn and Jake are brothers, through and through. They’re also heros, but not the stereotypical kind that doesn’t show emotions. Finn and Jake are willing to hold hands when they’re scared and cry in front of each other! They say they love each other and that is so sweet. I love Adventure Time for this. They taught a lot of good lessons

[missZoey]

I like how Bandit and the other adult characters are allowed to be, well, for lack of a better word, people. They are shown having conversations without the kids involved, have arcs and lessons of their own to learn, and the show takes time to show Bandit and Chili having moments to be themselves.

[yeeyeeyeeye]

I honestly get a little offended when people call Bandit a bad father because, for me personally, my dad was far worse. He was an alcoholic, he got in trouble with the law numerous times, drove drunk, frequently argued with my mom, physically beat me and my sister, and even tried to unalive himself in front of me. Bandit has healed my inner child in a way because now I actually have a good example of positive parenting that I can learn from, even if he's just a talking cartoon dog.
Also, listen to Custard. The lead singer is also Bandit's voice actor, and their music is pretty good.

[bludclot]

I am a dad, 54 years old, with 2 daughters... Bandit is my spirit animal. I can't tell you the number of times I walked away from the show teary eyed. My girls are now in their 20s, but the memories this brings up has almost made me ugly cry.

[Brynondial]

He shows that it isn’t ‘non-manly’ to take care of your kids and be childish, and show compassion. These are all things we’ve made up. Bandit is still a classic dad, with a similar personality to daddy pig, but is way more layered. He still does typical ‘guy’ stuff, still likes to BBQ and watch sports, but he also has time for his family and talks to his kids with a calm, understanding voice. Most dads are super defensive and take a back seat in taking care of the kids emotionally

[etienneleroi]

“Okay, from now on, no one makes any more promises!”
“But you promised you’d always love us!”
“Woah. I did not think this through.”
One of my favorite dialogue exchanges

[nicolle]

one thing i noticed only after is that Bandit is probably so used to educating his kids about life lessons because he's an archaeologist and is used to an academic environment

[anastasiab]

For me, an excellent example of Bandit being an emotionally present parent is the episode Yoga Ball. When he gives space for Bingo to assert a boundary and give consent (in this case, establishing a boundary of what is "too rough" play), God I am tearing up just thinking of it! Also what a lovely episode to use as an example of how to teach kids consent/boundaries for things THEY understand. Yoga Ball is my fav Bluey episode and my go-to for when I need some wholesome cheering up.

[Jabberwokee]

Bandit is not perfect, as no one is, but as a Dad he really is the *ideal*

Openly loving, honestly caring, genuinely supportive, and always in it for a laugh

*Be like Bandit*

[nowvoyagerNE]

i love many of the Bluey story lines, but one i especially love is in the cartoon called "Weekend, " if i am not mistaken. Bingo encounters a walking leaf, and because she doesn't want to frighten it, she calls softly to her daddy several times, urging him to come see the walking leaf. daddy is distracted and doesn't hear her. she is sad when the walking leaf flies away, and being distracted by activity all day, sets her feelings aside...until bed time. Mom, Bluey and dad all try to cheer her up. It's adorable and touching when Bingo explains why she is so sad, when she reveals to daddy that she was the magic statue that gave him trouble earlier in the day, and when she asks that daddy leave the bedroom door open "this far so the walking leaf can come in."

I love that dads are getting more positive representation in media, my dad has always been such a positive influence on my life and he’s who I’m closest too, I was always disappointed whenever shows and whatnot showed dads as only these negative stereotypes. I’m glad that’s there’s more representation of good dads for kids nowadays

[nightowlwriter]

I find it admiring that he tries his best to play along with everything the girls do.

My dad used to say he isn't creative enough to play along with my games.
He didn't even try and would just turn on the TV most of the time.

[DonutToast]

I have such a bad relationship with both my biological dad and step dad, I'd almost forgotten good dads exist too. This show is allowing me to both relive the best parts of my childhood and also rewrite the wrongs my father figures have done

[Phoenix-llse]

Fun Fact: If you look at his shirt a bit closely, you can see that it's of Jack from Bluey!
