I can only imagine, Oliver sitting there really enjoying blues clues, and then Mat sitting there really aggressively taking notes and really hard looking at the TV thinking: "I'm onto you weird blue dog"
blue alien* you mean :)
@Chad 007 let's appreciate that bots are fucking stupid
you got a heart which means you might be right
I think that "Matpat temporarily loosing his sanity after enduring hours of childrens' programing due to being a parent" is now my new favorite flavor of Matpat.
Honestly that's probably the case with so many shows they watch together 🤣
I love how we can track matpat's sons development based on the kids show theories that are published.
Right it's really amazing !!
@seeingstar. L E-commerce video
Any child dev majors around? :D
@@Serge165 not a major, just a mom. Little guy seems like pre-school. This show teaches shapes, colors, and other basic concepts. We watched from about 2-5 yrs old.
I seriously need to see the movie though
Imagine eveytime you watch a movie with your dad he theorizes about every detail he sees, that'd be so cool
Steve didn't leave for college. He joined a secret organization to combat the alien puppies and returned for a brief moment in time to gather Intel and report on how powerful they grew.
If I had a nickel for every time Matpat made a theory about a dog being an alien, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot, but it's weird it's happened twice.
And it's apparently cannon in both shows
Its also weird that its ONLY happened twice
What was the other theory?

Guys, wait. Think about it. She's not a alien. She's one of the fae. More specifically a changling. 1: She can change shapes to fit her needs. 2: Dimensional travel. 3: She came from the moonlight and either mimicked or replaced a regular puppy in the litter. 4: She has a fairy guardian and a fairy house that hold a dimension of her own. 5: She was granted to Steve when he wished for her. 6: Fae are often appeased with sweets.
You know, that actually makes more sense than Blue being an alien. It certainly reinforces the magic aspect of the show.
Ah yes my favourite primary colour…. Orange!
Lol matpat is more colour-deficient than me! (I’m diagnosed)
I'm just waiting for MatPat to hit us with "Blue isn't a dog, if you look closely, she's actually a cartoon"

IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT
That was my take away.🤣
I’m playing Devil’s Advocate here, but I think he meant colours like ROYGBIV
I was like excuse me? Did you not learn that from Blue. Who you suspect is an evil dog
It's like the Walten files video where he says "and she's wearing every security guard's favorite color, PURPLE. " and points to what another commentor describes as "the reddest outfit I've ever seen".
My favorite theory comes from my stepdad who is convinced that the reboot takes place in an alternate universe from the original because key events (like Periwinkle moving in and Magenta getting glasses) happened both in the original series and reboot. Honestly not a bad theory imo.
Update, the oldest dog in history was 30 years and 266 days old so it is very likely that blue is just a very old girl who got lucky. Also candles don't always signify age. Sometimes they are there just to be there. I know I've had candles lower and higher than what my age was before
Another update : The current oldest dog to have ever reportedly lived was Bobi, who died at a remarkable 31 years old and 165 days. Rest in heaven good boy
“Looking at Blue’s age she can’t possibly be a puppy” MatPat if you’ve ever met a dog owner you should know that regardless of the dog’s age their owner is still gonna refer to them as a puppy
Where do you and him get blue is a girl blue is a boy

@@dennisbeaman958 real fans know that blue is a girl, because they've watched the show and steve and joe used female pronouns with her.
I have dogs, but I would never call them puppies past them actually being puppies. That is weird.
I used to go to college with Josh. He is so kind and I'm glad he is the new host. I should tell him to watch this so he knows Blue is a possible alien

The craziest part of this video isn't even the idea that the dog is an alien, but that MatPat is talking with the same enthusiasm and seriousness as if this were a video about how fast Sonic is or evil cyborg seamonkies or whatever FNAF is about this week.
To be fair, Blue Clues do be hitting differently
The craziest part of this video is the knowlege that Mat has a cute butterfly tattoo on his back
Just want to say for 5:46, that's the oldest currently living dog. The oldest dog ever was an Australian cattle dog named Bluey (neat coincidence) who lived to about 29 and a half Edit: This comment is now factually incorrect. Congrats Bobi!

I only now noticed that the amount of likes on this comment about pets is 626. Just like a certain character that actually IS an alien. I’m sure you know who I’m talking about.
Blue is the preevolution of the animals from the bluey franchise
The missing link!
I was just watching blue's clues with my son and noticed something in an episode that triggered the desire for further investigation. Session 4, episode 25, the final clue is a mirror. While sitting in the thinking chair, the mirror shows "us" and the mouth moves as the child responds. This terrifying image of a stick figure child stays in the image of the mirror. The theory request is about who we are. Who is the "you" they always reference. We're under the assumption that we are reading a book but this stick figure now keeps me awake at night.
Another piece of evidence is that in an episode of the original series, Blue manages to put a pawprint on a cloud, and even Steve himself questions how Blue managed to get a pawprint on a cloud.
I mean, she’s managed to put paw prints on sound, light, and plenty of other metaphysical stuff. It’s very possible that she’s just a fucking god who wants to be friends with Steve.

Good reference
So, Blue seems to be a very powerful reality bender. Not only that, but she is also a meta entity. Meaning that she can literally jump into and influence media, at least visual but most likely written as well. This makes her a very dangerous anomaly.
I miss Matt Pat so much, I used to go and sit, listen to one of his theories, and play piano. I still have memories about listening to his theories while playing we'll meet again, or something similar to that, goodbye Matt Pat, you will always forever hold a special place in my heart 😭😭
Another week, another chance for MatPat to destroy our childhood memories.
Matpat doesn’t ruin it, the show does it secretly and he Finds out
Yes
Facts
Very correct
People who never had a childhood: *sips tea*
I watched Blue's Clues as a child and I genuinely loved it. It was a great show and when the video of Steve telling us it would be OK came out during the pandemic I cried like a baby. It really felt like an old friend was telling me everything would be alright. And now MatPat is here to help me laugh instead of getting emotional
That was my exact reaction too😅
Same this show is my entire childhood
i got so emotional over that video 😭
Just cries reading this
You are definitely not alone. I am 34 years old and cried like I was still that little girl in front of my TV watching Blue's Clues with Steve. Nostalgia can definitely be bittersweet sometimes❤️
Matpat: all wearing primary colours Me: HUH! ORANGE IS NOT A PRIMARY COLOUR
I’m on another binge of your content. V glad my bf recommended. I don’t think he was intending me to be on a childhood show binge but here I am. Very interesting to hear about blues clues now, I watched until I was 6. I still remember me and my bff Jade having Lucky Charms in front of the tv waiting to go to school then Steve went to college. We saw Joe, both looked at each other and decided we were too old and switched the channel. Idr what we watched but that was the end of an era.
I swear, every MatPat theory starts me off with "This sounds pretty far fetched" and has me ending like "This is now the unequivocal truth." ....
Blue's Clues is the one show (or any media) that is so sacred to me that I just cannot imagine it being anything other than it is: a wholesome kid's show that actually makes you feel like you're a part of Steve's family of friends.
The fact that Steve gave the message he did for the 25th anniversary of Blues Clues was heartwarming. I grew up watching it and it kinda resonated with me that even though I had forgotten about the show, he didn't forget about his impact.
Ty for explaining
@Chase Studios Blue is a female
I thought she was a he 😅
9:39 I remember this episode VARY WELL!! it’s been decades but I still remember a lot about after watching it on repeat on VHS
Okay. I'm not gonna lie. This is the first video that I've watched from Film Theory and the other channels that actually had me agreeing with your quote, "ruining your childhood since 2011!" Like holy crap, I may be tipsy right now, but I'm lowkey scared of Blue now 😅
Don't be, he supplied evidence for everything except Blue and co. wanting to control the Earth. Sure they're magic/alien but they've shown no evidence of being malicious.
MatPat is the only person that would overthink something
MatPat is the only person that would overthink something and publish it on the internet*
I think it’s pretty cool and obviously a theory video with their son in mind. As Matt stated at the beginning of the video. 😊
Good 👍
Not only him Alex bale also have things to say about old kids tv shows
well, dont blame him *dem mob-bots did*
honestly found this video more heartwarming than scary -- little blue has her adventurous childhood with Steve where she learns the skills she needs to eventually leave the nest and grow into a strong and independent rainbow alien not-dog
seriously, even if it was true sounds like Blue is a nice ruler
Until they take over the world, that is.
@@gen3vra I for one accept our new rainbow alien overlords.
Hey
I agree. This didn’t even ruin my childhood
I quit watching that cartoon a year ago, and he did a good job coming back to see its theory
I've always been confused by the hosts whenever blues clues gets referenced, because they always look wrong from what I remember my sisters watched. Just found out it's because the uk had a different host, called Kevin.
MatPat, I'm not sure what worries me more: that you go looking for lore in all the wrong places, or that you find it!
Definitely the second one.
You don't need to worry too much about the second one, unless it's something *really* bizarre, confirmation bias lets people find proof of wacky things all the time, you just need to look hard enough.
kzhead.info/sun/gM5xqreqapVsZHk/bejne.html Finally It’s here🤠
Definitely that he actually finds it.
I swear, every MatPat theory starts me off with "This sounds pretty far fetched" and has me ending like "This is now the unequivocal truth."
i still think it's pretty far fetched after watching the end
Hehehe far fetched
I was the same way with the Hollow Knight theory! And then I played Hollow Knight. After talking to my friends who have beaten Hollow Knight. After watching Mossbag's video on that theory. Yeah, not all MatPat theories work, but they're always interesting and entertaining to watch.
@@robbietheweirdo i mean, the world domination this is a bit far fetched, yeah, but are you really gonna say that blue is a normal or real dog, even after seeing all the proof in the show that says otherwise? He TWO literal ORIGIN STORIES say that she is not a normal dog, that she appeared one day (once from a blue moon, and once OUT OF A BOOK), and she has super powers.
He needs to stop.
Dogs do have thumbs. They just aren't opposable ones. It's the first finger counting from the inside. It is further up the paw. Dogs and cats have the same anatomy as us but they step on their fingertips and have a shorter thumb. Cats actually use it to grab too. Watch as a big cat catches prey. You can see their fingers stretching and grasping using that thumb claw to anchor and grab. Canines on the other hand use their claws for traction. If they are losing traction they usually lay down and that thumb and claw stick into the ground Even bunnies have a lil thumb.
8:03 Yeah I always had that question before and now it's been cleared
My theory is that the rainbow dog thematically represents a dog dying and leaving its owner. A big part is the rainbow imagery. You talked about all these points in the video: the rainbow dog doesn't have an owner; as Blue becomes more like rainbow dog, she spends less time with her owner; the rainbow theming reminds me of the idea that when a pet dies they walk over a rainbow and wait for their owner to die as well.
That's a great theory!
Would that mean everyone is waiting and the whole cast is in purgatory?
That’s amazing
If the last episode of the reboot turns out to be Blue "leaving home" by crossing a giant rainbow bridge and turning rainbow I swear to dog...
.... oh that is so upsetting.
I think MatPat needs another dose of optimism that he got for Moana since he went from "alien dog with teleporting abilities will one day grow up" to "and these dogs obviously will use their teleporting hub world to dominate the world instead of any loving, peaceful intention like the ones they express in the show."
@here is the full clip booooooo get out of the comments section spambot
LEAVE HIM ALONE BOTS
Geez, I removed one bot, and it attracted a swarm.
clearly they aren't aliens they are pokemon
yeah i dont think matpat gave any evidence for the world takeover thing
About the fact that in the reboot, Joe got a job at the Present Store manning the cash register, whereas in the original, it was run by an anthropomorphic cash register, maybe the cash register was under a separate evil spell that made his owner an animal caused by the same wizard, and that spell was broken before the reboot occurred, whereas the spell that turned Blue into a dog, everybody in her house into objects, and her house into an animated world is still upon the Blue's Clues house. So could Donovan Patton (the actor who played Joe) in the reboot really be playing the part of the human form of the cash register? After all, the producers apparently considered the host a fictional character, because on authentic Blue's Clues merchandise, it would say "On the TV show, Steve is played by Steven Burns." implying what I just said, like saying about Sesame Street "On the TV show, Gordon is played by Roscoe Orman."
The first theory (after watching for nearly 8+ years) where you actually destroyed my childhood 😭😭 I hope your proud of yourself
Fun Fact for MatPat and The Theorists: There was actually a dog named Bluey (yes like the show) a female Australian Cattle Dog born in Australia in 1910 who lived to be 29 years and 5 months according to Guinness World Records. While being an anomaly, this is still really impressive and I figured I'd share. On the tangent of kids shows, and the running theme of dogs, I highly recommend Bluey (the show this time) when Ollie is old enough, it is truly a good watch no matter your age. Also, I need a theory about the functionality of cats in the Bluey-verse because I can't be the only one to question it.
Bluey is a really good show not only for kids, but for adults and teens. (I'm an example) I would very much reccomend it. It also has some very nice messages in the episodes, and is very entertaining. There's alot of theories in the Bluey fandom already, I wonder what MatPat would come with if he ever made a theory.
Mat Pat you shouldd
@@keisen5876 I just think this is the Bluey equivalent of Anthropomorphic Earth from the sonic games. They have all the big Aussie brands like Bunnings, which they renamed to Hammerbarn.
Speaking of Bluey on a Blues Clues video, anyone else find it weird that theres two kids shows featuring blue dogs named after the color that are girls, but often mistaken for boys?
I still can't believe I legit teared up at that one episode when Bluey made that friend camping and they spoke different languages but we're still able to play and create those memories and when they came back those years later to the tree they planted and you just hear "Bluey..." with the accent 🥹
I love how the longer Ollie exists, the more theories Mat does about kids stuff

Blue's Clues will always mean so so much to me. I've watched it since before I could even sit on my own. I knew how to put my Blue's Clues vhs' in the player by the time I was 2 😂 And I will also always be one of Steve's biggest fans 😊
Okay, but couldn't Blue's and Rainbow's purpose be just exploration? The smoking gun to your claim is the hub world, which stores all the places the dogs skidoo to, so they can re-visit these places later. To me, these resemble memories or collections of experience. Gathering these worlds in this place does not itself imply domination, but it does imply exploration. Given how friendly she is portrayed, the domination is a tough sell. Furthermore, exploration for its own sake is a valid goal. This drive is portrayed in similar popular media; to quote John-Luc Picard from Star Trek, "Space: the final frontier. This is the mission of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before." In short, I think your conclusion of domination and implicit malevolence is a stretch. I understand that subversion may sell, but judging from some of the top comments at this time, it may have been over-doing it. Or did you intend to make a stretch in reasoning to get people like me into making comments like these, thereby promoting this video in the KZhead algorithm? Were you really playing 4D chess all along? You win this one, Mat Pat.
Top-tier comment
How does this only have 37 likes?
This deserves more likes
Nope, it has to be domination. Thats just how it is.
Normally, exploration leads to conquest - by violence, by mercantile, or/and otherwise.
This show was my childhood. Actually happy to hear there's a reboot so today's kids can also grow up with Blue and her friends.

There is a small flaw when it comes to figuring out age with candles. Candles don't always mean age. Sure, a majority of the time, but not always.

2:27 He… MatPat… you were foreshadowing your “retirement”, weren’t you? Oh my God, that hits hard!😢😭
This all becomes much more terrifying when you remember that in Blue's birthday episode, Steve Skidooed out of the show, without Blue, into a child's living room and brought a clock to life. If Steve, a caretaker, has this much power, imagine Rainbow puppy realizing they're on a show and coming into the real world.
... hummm... this makes me wonder... what if blue is Actually an evolution of a Human? like could the rainbow puppy have been a previous care taker? maybe steve and the others were abandoned alien children and their parents sent blue and the others to find them, help them evolve into their Actual form... i don't know... it's late and my brain is just sort of free floating around my skull. XD;;
It's not a bad thought, but I don't think Blue would evolve into a caretaker, or the other way around. My reasoning for this? Blue's ears. She is often seen using her ears as arms, carrying objects with them when she chooses to stay on four legs.
SCP-3812
my biggest issue with this episode is that steven and joe were NOT wearing primary colors like mat said, green and orange are secondary colors
Haha I had to scroll too far to find this comment!
@Will N the term "primary colors" isnt normally used to refer to mixing colors in light tho. its used for the mixing of pigmints, and the term goes back to the 17th century, and either way, hes wrong because orange is STILL not a primary color
i found that pretty strange as well maybe hes color blind
@Superlad94 Dye is still based upon light though, dumbass. As that is all that sight is. Interpretation of light. Though Dye or more specifically PIGMENT, not dye...... Colors mix different than direct light, PIGMENT is still based upon light.
YESS
MatPat: "BLUE IS NOT A DOG!" Schmitty from _You Don't Know Jack_ begs to differ. If you've played _The Lost Gold,_ you'd know.
I think that Clifford is more of a alien than blue’s clues
So to recap, Blue is 1) Blue 2) Trying to pass as a dog somewhat debatably well 3) Able to morph, growing and hiding additional digits at will 4) May at some point be capable of human speech 5) From space I would like to motion that Blue and Stitch are similar, if not the same, species
Stich actually isn't a species. He's a genetic experiment. There's only one of him.
Prob same

Stitch is an artificial creation. Blue is naturally born from the moon

Or perhaps they can channel the Skidoo Force.
Wait right there Mat Pat! What about cloning? It could just be an exact replica of the original blue!
I love that Ollie’s watching habits are directing the topics for this channel, very adorable
At least Ollie is watching quality kid's TV. I grew up watching the original Blues Clues. I've seen all the hosts, Steve and Joe when they sat in the red chair. And I have to admit, I love the new Blues Clues. I don't watch it a lot (because I'm 20), but watching a random episode is fun every so often.
I always loved how each clue added a musical element that came together into a little vibe in each episode. It’s just a small thingy that I loved
That's what always made me watch in the first place, lol. Thanks for reminding me.
@Lady Tsunade wow you are Hella persistent. It's not here. Not there either!
Another detail about my fan theory is that another detail in Blue's spell is that the curse placed upon her in addition to being physical also affects her mental age, meaning that she was an adult when the curse was placed on her, and the curse turned her mentally back into a kid (presumably the wizard stripped her mind of all the knowledge she got growing up, which is why she goes to preschool and does all sorts of kiddie stuff.) But as Blue falls more and more in love with the host, the wizard gives the knowledge back to her with less need to go back to early elementary school, late elementary school, middle school, and then high school and graduate. The love received from the host will make her high school diploma good again. If Blue was registered to vote before the curse and had a driver's license before the curse, the curse has made her too mentally young to be given the right to vote and to have a driver's license, and the love received from the host will make her old enough for those again.
Please cover Bubble Guppies. I believe the show to be us observing an alien training camp for a starship crew that is going to be sent to Earth in order to establish peaceful relations in order to live in our oceans due to some catastrophe on their planet. I think Gill is the ambassador, Molly is the captain, Goby is the tactical officer, Oona is the medic, Nonny is the engineer, and Deema is the ship's morale officer and quartermaster. I think Mr Grouper is actually the admiral that will be overseeing their mission from their home planet. Each episode is them learning about an aspect of human culture in order to be contextually educated before interacting with us. As a bonus theory in the later episode they add a new guppy named Zooli who I believe to be the time traveling daughter of Goby and Oona. I really think this theory ... holds water.
matpats power is to make people think that a blue dog is an alien... truly marvelous
To be fair..... it's blue. You ever seen a dog that's blue?
ever seen a dog that's big and red?
well, the show it's self saying she comes from the moon pretty much makes blue's alien origins unquestionable.

This genuinely, GENUINELY makes me enjoy this show a whole lot more. I don't care if it's all rubbish and that MatPat is grasping at straws or whatever (i don't think he is but I can see how someone could get that idea from this video), I honestly love the idea that an alien race desgised as dogs are trying to take over the Earth by getting information about us while desgising their game of Blue's Clues as a children's show. Also, Thanks for taking me down memory lane MatPat😊. This was a show from my childhood and was one of my favourites mostly because blue is my favourite colour and I love a good mistery. I guess that's why I like your videos so much. Been watching your stuff since 2013😎. Rock on fellow theorists🤘!
8:50 “Why has this not raised anyone’s alarms before” 😭 I think Matt really forgot he was talking about a kid show, Not some indie horror game.
He’s just gone crazy..

Since you’re going down the anthropomorphic dog route, I’d like to suggest a theory on Bluey. Because, for a show about a happy dog family, there are a lot of theories. Here are a few you could look at or take a deep dive through: - Bandit, Chili, and Lucky’s dad are in a polyamorous couple - Chili had a miscarriage before having Bluey - Chili’s sister, Brandy, is infertile and can’t have kids - Chili’s dad was in the Vietnam war - Bandit and Chili separated for a bit after the birth of Bingo. This is why their parenting styles are different and Bluey starts to panic when she sees them arguing in an episode - The obligatory, “Bluey takes place in a post apocalyptic world after all of the humans died out” - Why can the dogs in the Bluey universe own cats? Why are only the dogs sentient? And my personal favorite one: - Why does Bluey’s evolution mirror our own? In the episode “Flat pack” (I believe), we see Bluey and Bingo go through the stages of evolution in their play. They begin as fish, then frogs, then lizards, then dinosaurs, then mice, then monkeys, then “cave dogs,” and then finally evolve to be civilized beings who can build stuff. That’s as much as I can remember anyway. So, if their evolution mirrors ours, did they evolve alongside what would have been humans/human-like creatures and beat us out for the top of the food chain? Did humans ever exist in this world’s evolutionary past? What elements of the past animals do the dogs of Bluey still have? Clearly they walk on two legs and have opposable thumbs like monkeys. Would it even be reasonably possible for all of those animals to slowly evolve into a dog? I mean, in our world obviously not. But this is a theory channel and I wanna know if all of the elements could possibly come together to form dogs.
A few of these (like Chili's dad and sister) are pretty concrete, as in they aren't spelling it out because kids watch it, but as adults we can put those events togeather. The polyamory one I don't see being a thing (though I'm not 100% caught up to the latest episode so I may be missing context for this) and the miscarriage one seems...possible while also being the most vague on if it was them a friend or just their knowledge of what this was about to do to Bingo (possibly saw Chilli's sister in that moment going through the same thing which puts 2 theories into 1.) All in all I say leave Bluey up to a different channel, but don't rule out Matt getting the urge to tackle kid shows like Bluey and Blue's Clues in the future.
That sure is interesting m8
Wait, what? What the heck are they doing down there in Australia?
@@GeneralDragon011 making a parenting book disguised as a kids show.
bro it's a show for 6 year olds it's not that deep
"Who's cutting onions in here," Really MatPat we already know you're immune to onion tears so those are real tears, real tears!!!
I'm going to just keep commenting until it happens, pleas do an episode on Bluey, there is so much lore!
I love how matpat always does these theories that make these kid shows super dark. Can't we get a wholesome theory for once
No 💀
Yeah Blue could always be a moon puppy cultural ambassador or something she doesn’t have to have plans for world domination.
never
@@SpiralsAreAlive not yet at least
@@SpiralsAreAlive yeah I heard nothing proving it's about mastering humans, can't it be parasite to independent to God spirit? Idk about that rainbow pup, but yeah Blue is too good to not be good
I really think the one aspect that _doesn't_ fit is just it being dark. Really just seems like all Blue and Co. want is to play and have a good time with people, sharing their magic to go on fun adventures. And it seems like Blue is just as likely to be magic as an alien, somewhere around what Clifford is.
Yeah agreed, like I believe every bit of this besides it being a bad thing. Blue is just a cute magic alien puppy! Nothing more nothing less
@@orbic521 yep, just like Clifford... did they ever say why he was so God damned big?
True, just because Blue, Magenta, and Rainbow Puppy are 'cataloguing' locations to which they can skidoo, doesn't mean they want to take over anything! Maybe they just love the places they've been and want to be able to revisit them! They could just be curious and happy to have human companions willing to teach them what they need to know~
@@thesymbiotenation.4552 It's my understanding that he grew big because of all the love his owner, Emily-Elizabeth, gave him as a puppy. The theme song of the cartoon said as much.
Thats wut they want u to think....
1:48 All wearing primary colors *points to a blue shirt, a green shirt, and an orange shirt*
I just realized something. In Season 5 to 6 of Blue’s Clues, Blue jumps in the book. But in the end of every episode, there are sparkles coming out of the book. Could it mean that Blue skidoos in the book and she jumps of the book?
the way i almost sobbed multiple time throughout this video because blues clues was my absolute favorite show as a kid and the nostalgia hit me like a truck. genuinely, thank you so much theorist team. i really needed this today.
That ending bit hit me, I haven't heard those lines in a very **very** long time.
I almost teared up a couple times. Blues clues was my absolute favorite as a kid.
fr bro
Every episode they put out they're hinting that the release of the 4th channel is getting closer. I'm so excited to see what this new channel is about, keep up the good work Theory team :D
Books
@@realmarie_real That would be crazy
I think myths or media. Both are wide reaching topics that could inspire a wealth of content.
@@realmarie_real I'm praying
Im hoping anime, lots of potential there
i remember watching the show. i loved it and still do.
This was one of my favorite shows when I was younger😄
I never knew Steve returned for a couple of cameos! Since the actor explained his distaste for the idea of being on a kids show with hair loss, I figured he'd avoid it unless speaking exclusively to first gen viewers as adults. I got a kick out of the show stylist's solutions. Rofl Thank you to _Blue's Clues_ for never letting me forget the order of our solar system's planets... nor Pluto.
I still know all the words to the planet song!
wait he got hairloss? isnt hair transplantation pretty cheap nowdays?
@the Basilisker Overseas, mostly. Back in the year that he left, however, I remember it being rather new and as pricy as any major cosmetic surgery. What's certain is what he repeatedly discussed in stand-up and interviews: at least during his last season, he decided he wanted to leave before any bald spots could be visible on camera. Any further reasoning/analysis would just be speculation on my part.
@@KaiLucasZachary BRO SAME! IT ACTUALLY HELPED ME PASS A TEST ONCE! SAME THING WITH THE SONG ABOUT CLIMATES WITH MOTHER NATURE! 😁
Well the Sun's a hot star. Mercury's hot too. Venus is the brightest planet, and Earth's home to me and you. Mars is the red one, and Jupiter's most wide. Saturn's got those icy rings, and Uranus spins on it's side. Neptune's really windy, and Pluto is so small. Well we wanted to name the planets, and now we named them all.
I remember there being some movie where Joe visited Blue's Room for Christmas, not through any Skidooing if I remember correct. So that made me even more confused about Blue's Room.
2:50 Lol among us in the back ground XD!
I like how everyone in the show doesn't even care about what is happening, they're all just completely fine with it like it's something completely normal.
It's because it is
@@glitch_mixit’s because it’s
This whole reply section is a bunch of people plugging videos of what I’m guessing is their channel😂
Average ohio dogs
What do you mean she barks like a dog?!
Not gonna lie, I was OBSESSED with this show as a kid. I was probably a little too old to be watching it by the time I stopped watching it, but it was my sort of safe haven from my not-so-great childhood. And hearing Steve and Joe sing the “Blue Skidoo” song really just took me back. Thanks Matt for this great video 💙
I end up singing it pretty frequently because my mom has a dog named Blue.
Weren't we all, in some point in our lives!
Moon fairy (cool name ik): i came from the BLUE MOON Me: why do i hear Blue Moon OST with cheese lava? (For people who dont know what im talking about its a roblox game called Flood Escape 2 and theres a map/level called Blue Moon and basically CHEESE LAVA INTENSIFIES)
This is wild and phenomenal
Matpat:dogs dont have thumps 8:10 no one: Pepper and salt with hands having babies
Same how is that over looked what are those things?
Dogs do have thumbs, look at dogs paw. Farther up the leg is the 'thumb', the claw is called the dew claw
