Bluey Creator Admits His Weird Family Game Goes Too Far

Bluey heads may be aware of an episode called “Tickle Crabs,” in which Bluey and Bingo pretend to be crabs who mercilessly tickle their parents. But, Brumm revealed to NPR that the original version of this was much worse. Here’s what Brumm said about how “Tickle Crabs” was originally called “Pinchy.” So there you have it, parents. If you find yourself annoyed by any hyper aspects of Bluey (as some parents very much are) just know, it could be way worse. Elsewhere in the interview, Brumm addressed the fact that one Bluey episode called “Dad Baby” has still not been released in the US. American Bluey completists now have renewed hope: Repressed Bluey episodes could come to Disney+, someday. Check out the full interview over on NPR. Bluey (including “Tickle Crabs”) streams on Disney+.
