Sarah & Friends' Guide To What Kids Love That Adults Love - School Holidays #1

Hey there, fellow enthusiasts of all things whimsical and wild!

Ever watched an episode of Bluey and thought, “Wow, this is basically my life, but with more cartoon dogs and less sleep?” Well, if you’ve ever found yourself in that delightful predicament, then buckle up because my latest fanfiction on Fanfiction.net is here to resonate with that exact sentiment.

Introducing ‘Sarah & Friends’ Guide To What Kids Love That Adults Love’ – where the epic world of parenting meets the playground of imagination!

Spoiler alert: It’s not just about surviving the mess, but actually reveling in it!

Now, you might be wondering how this all ties into the recent Bluey episode ‘Stumpfest’. Picture this: Bandit, Uncle Stripe, and Lucky’s dad turn the backyard into a glorious battleground of stump destruction, while Uncle Stripe, in the background, offers up sage advice to Lucky’s dad. If you squint and ignore the cartoonish backdrop, you might just spot Uncle Stripe giving Lucky’s dad some calming words of encouragement as he wrestles with his inner zen amidst the chaos. It’s basically the parenting equivalent of a pep talk in a high-stakes game of backyard lumberjack.

So, how does my story relate to this energetic escapade? Well, think of ‘Sarah & Friends’ Guide as a manual for embracing the messiness of parenting – just like Bandit and his crew embrace the mess of stump removal. Whether it’s making homemade slime or indulging in a questionable science experiment, Sarah’s adventures parallel the spirited chaos of Stumpfest. She’s out there, like Bandit and the gang, proving that the real fun of parenting is in jumping headfirst into the chaos and enjoying every moment, mess included.

School Holidays #1

35 Things That Shouldn't Just Be For Kids

Ah, CBBC. Remember the days when it was a beacon of British childhood, a charming sanctuary of gentle humour and whimsical adventures? Well, hold onto your tea and crumpets because those days are long gone, my friends. The modern CBBC seems to think it's auditioning for the "Most Frantic Network" award. I swear, if the volume got any higher or the pace any faster, they'd have to rename their afternoon toons strand to "Toon Time," complete with a CGI logo featuring an alarm clock instead of the first 'O' in "Toon." Because who needs serenity when you can have an onslaught of noise and chaos at 3:30 PM?

And don't even get me started on the Americanisation. I mean, really? American accents, loud laugh tracks, and enough rapid-fire dialogue to make a caffeine-fueled auctioneer envious. It's like they took a playbook from Nickelodeon on steroids. CBBC used to be the embodiment of British culture—quirky, endearing, and charmingly understated. Now, it feels like we're tuning into an American sitcom marathon. I half expect to see a cartoon version of New York's Times Square pop up between scenes. Oh, joy.

But fear not, fellow nostalgists! BBC Four's "Children's TV On Trial" is here to remind us of the golden era when kids' programming was a work of art. Ah, the halcyon days of He-Man flexing his muscles, Postman Pat delivering letters without a GPS, and the Thundercats saving the world with a coolness that made James Bond look like an amateur. Transformers, My Little Pony, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles—icons of our childhood, each episode a symphony of storytelling. And who could forget the epitome of British brilliance, Danger Mouse, battling Baron Greenback with the help of his trusty sidekick Penfold?

Back then, we had the proper Children's BBC Broom Cupboard with Andy and Gordon the Gopher. Now that was television! Moving into the '90s and early 2000s, we were blessed with Teletubbies and their bizarrely hypnotic antics, Rugrats' delightful mischief, Tracy Beaker's indomitable spirit, and the iconic Bill & Ben—characters that could entertain without a single explosion or high-decibel scream. The 1998 Wombles series, the 1996 Dennis & Gnasher series, the 2002 Andy Pandy series, Dick and Dom In Da Bungalow, and In The Night Garden, each brought something uniquely magical to the screen.

So, dear parents, if you want to experience what proper children's programming looks like—programming that won't leave you feeling like you've just run a marathon in a thunderstorm—tune into BBC Four's nostalgic lineup. Sit back with your kids and bask in the comforting glow of classics that proved you don't need to shout to be heard. After all, sometimes the quietest voices speak the loudest.

Ah, the blissful delight of a kids' menu at McDonald's and Burger King. Nothing screams "culinary sophistication" quite like a box of chicken nuggets paired with a purple Fruit Shoot. And let's not forget the pièce de résistance: a free toy! Ah, yes, the veritable treasures that come with these meals. From the whimsical world of Mr Men and He-Man's heroic antics to the fashionista fabulousness of Bratz and the magical pony rides of My Little Pony, these toys are the stuff of childhood dreams. Who could resist the charms of Clifford the Big Red Dog, Make Way for Noddy, or the nostalgic joy of Bill & Ben (the 2001 series) gracing your Happy Meal box?

But hold your horses—or your ponies, if you will—because the joy train comes to a screeching halt when we venture into the realm of the Grimace Shake. Yes, the Grimace Shake. The latest craze that's taken the Internet by storm, and not in a good way. I mean, what fresh madness is this? People are guzzling down this unnaturally purple concoction and then pretending to keel over in TikTok videos, all for the sake of fleeting online fame. Because nothing says "I'm living my best life" quite like faking your own demise after consuming a milkshake named after a purple blob.

Let me be clear: I am not trying it. I value my taste buds and my dignity far too much to indulge in this macabre fad. It seems Grimace has undergone a bizarre transformation from McDonald's friendly, goofy mascot to a horror icon, right up there with the recent reinterpretation of Winnie the Pooh as a nightmarish figure. Yes, you heard that right—our beloved Grimace is now the culinary equivalent of a horror show, and people are lapping it up like it's the newest Marvel movie. Grimace, who once brought joy and questionable fashion choices, is now the stuff of nightmares. What's next? Ronald McDonald as the next big horror villain?

So, while the kids' menu remains a bastion of simple pleasures and delightful trinkets, the Grimace Shake saga serves as a grim reminder that not all that is purple is sweet. Some things are better left untouched and untried. Trust me, your sanity and your stomach will thank you.

Ah, the marvel that is the pillow fort. Is there anything more majestic, more architectural, more profound than a sprawling fortress made entirely of couch cushions and blankets? I think not. Forget the pyramids of Giza or the Great Wall of China; the true wonder of the world lies in the living room where pillow forts reign supreme. These bastions of comfort and creativity are best enjoyed with a heaping banana split in hand and a lineup of kids' movies that range from heartwarming to hilariously cheesy.

Now, let me introduce you to the dynamic duo who embody the pinnacle of pillow fort prowess: Cheese, the Labrador puppy, and Orko from the 1983 He-Man series. Cheese, with his floppy ears, wagging tail, and boundless energy, is an original Bluey character who would put even the most enthusiastic pup to shame. Orko, the bumbling yet endearing magician from Eternia, brings his unique brand of chaos and charm to the mix.

Picture this: it's 1983, a simpler time when VHS tapes and Saturday morning cartoons were the height of entertainment. Cheese and Orko are hard at work constructing the ultimate pillow fort, a labyrinth of cushions and sheets that would make an interior decorator weep with envy. The fort is a masterpiece, a cosy kingdom where imagination rules supreme.

But what's a pillow fort without a pillow fight? Cheese, with his puppyish exuberance, bounds around the fort, flinging pillows with reckless abandon. Orko, hovering slightly above the ground with his purple robe and hat, retaliates with his own feathery missiles, his spells occasionally turning pillows into random objects—because what's a little accidental magic between friends? Giggles, barks, and magical mishaps fill the air as they engage in the most epic of battles.

After the dust settles and the last pillow has been flung, they settle into their cushy stronghold with banana splits that could make even the most seasoned dessert lover swoon. Topped with a mountain of whipped cream, cherries, and sprinkles, these banana splits are the perfect complement to a kids' movie marathon. They laugh through "The Land Before Time," gasp at the antics in "The Goonies," and drift into a sugar-induced nap during "The Muppet Movie."

Ah, pillow forts—where the only limits are the number of pillows and the extent of your imagination. And with companions like Cheese and Orko, the fun is never-ending. So, grab your banana split and a stack of cushions, and embark on your own pillow fort adventure. Just remember: when the pillows start flying, keep your head down and your sense of humor up!

Ah, the unparalleled joy of watching the same episode of Bluey for 11 straight hours. You know, just in case the first ten viewings didn't quite convey the subtleties of canine life lessons and childhood whimsy. There's nothing quite like having Bluey, Bingo, and their charming antics burned into your retinas for half a day. It's like binge-watching, but with a delightful touch of madness.

Now, let's talk about those episodes that pack an emotional punch—because who needs a box of tissues when you've got Bluey? Take "Escape," for instance, where the family drama and intensity make you forget you're watching animated dogs. Or "Dragon," where the stakes are higher than your average blockbuster. "Pass the Parcel" isn't just a party game; it's a heart-wrenching lesson in fairness and patience. "Rain" and "Fairytale"? Move over, Shakespeare. These episodes have more depth and emotional complexity than a Russian novel.

But let's not forget the heavyweight champions of the tear-jerker league. "Onesies," with its subtle nod to infertility, is a masterclass in turning a simple piece of clothing into a symbol of hope and heartache. "Sleepytime" doesn't just put you to bed; it takes you on a cosmic journey through the dreams of a child, leaving parents questioning the very fabric of existence. And "Army"—well, if you don't feel a lump in your throat by the end, you might want to check if you still have a soul.

Given the emotional rollercoaster these episodes can unleash, I propose that CBeebies should start each one with a "Viewer Discretion Is Advised" warning. After all, parents tune in expecting some light-hearted fun and suddenly find themselves contemplating the deep-seated anxieties of parenting and the harrowing challenges of infertility. It's only fair to give them a heads-up. Imagine the scene: "The following program contains scenes of emotional depth and existential questioning. Viewer discretion is advised. Parental tears are likely."

In conclusion, if you're planning to marathon Bluey for 11 hours, prepare yourself. Stock up on tissues, maybe some comfort food, and perhaps a support group on standby. Because these aren't just kids' episodes; they're miniature masterpieces of storytelling that will leave you laughing, crying, and pondering the complexities of life—all in the span of seven minutes.

I had a moment of genuine surprise and delight when I realized that the seemingly innocent post I had stumbled upon was, in fact, a clever advertisement for Innocent Kids' Smoothies. What initially appeared to be a simple, whimsical illustration or playful caption turned out to be a subtle yet brilliant piece of marketing.

The artistry behind the post was remarkable. It wasn't just a blatant ad pushing a product in your face; it was a creative expression that captured the essence of childhood joy and healthy living. Innocent managed to weave their message into something engaging and heartwarming, seamlessly promoting their smoothies without compromising the charm of their brand.

It was a beautiful reminder of how advertising can be both effective and enjoyable, reaching out to parents and children alike with a sense of wonder and authenticity. I couldn't help but admire the ingenuity behind it, appreciating the thought and care that went into crafting such a memorable piece of content. Innocent truly knows how to connect with their audience in a way that feels natural and sincere.

AMC Theatres Silence is Golden "Soar Commercial"

Hey there, movie buffs and popcorn lovers! Quill here, the porcupine from AMC Theatres’ “Silence Is Golden - Soar” cinema advert. Yeah, that's right – the spiky star himself! You probably know me best from that legendary advert where I had to endure the tragic yet hilarious sight of my best friend, an eagle, tumbling into a volcano. Let's just say he didn’t soar, he sizzled. And what did we get out of it? One well-done eagle, perfect for a bizarre Thanksgiving dinner!

Let’s talk about that advert, shall we? Picture this: You’re all cozy in your theatre seat, popcorn in hand, maybe a soft drink by your side. The lights dim, the screen brightens, and there I am, strutting my quills like it’s the red carpet. You see, it's not every day you get to star in a commercial that tells people to shush in the most dramatic way possible. AMC Theatres nailed it by casting yours truly, because let’s face it, who better to deliver a message about the importance of silence than a porcupine who’s all about making points?

Now, let’s address the elephant – or should I say the turkey – in the room. There I was, minding my own business, when suddenly, my best buddy, Mr. Eagle, goes all Icarus and flies a bit too close to a volcano. Next thing you know, he’s the main course for some twisted Thanksgiving feast. And speaking of Thanksgiving, why do we always gobble up turkeys? What’s so special about those gobblers? If you ask me, eagles might be a bit gamey, but they’d surely shake up the menu.

Imagine a Thanksgiving where you carve into a golden-brown eagle. Majestic, right? Plus, it’d be a fitting tribute to those daring enough to take flight near a volcano. Not to mention, it would make for some interesting dinner conversation. “Hey, Aunt Susie, pass the eagle drumstick, would ya?” And for dessert? We’d still keep the pumpkin pie – some traditions shouldn’t be messed with.

But let’s get real. Even though my friend ended up as a crispy critter, eagles aren’t exactly Thanksgiving fare. Turkeys are safe because, well, they’re easier to catch, less likely to peck your eyes out, and they don’t symbolize freedom or anything majestic like that. Plus, they’ve been the star of the show since the Pilgrims decided they were easier to hunt than, say, porcupines.

In the end, whether it's a turkey or an eagle, what matters is being thankful. Thankful for family, friends, and the simple joy of a good movie. And let’s not forget to be thankful for silence during those movies – because nothing ruins a blockbuster like someone yapping away on their phone. So, next time you’re at AMC Theatres, remember my story. Keep it quiet, enjoy the show, and maybe give a nod to my brave, albeit crispy, eagle buddy.

Until next time, stay sharp, stay silent, and soar high (but not too close to the volcanoes).
