 * i can't spell cuz i'm 5 y/o; bare with me

Bluey Gost is an American-British-Canadian-Irish-Japanese-Chinese-North Korean-Saudi Arabian anim(at)e(d) television series created by Robert Buttstain which aired on from December 16, 1995 to May 15, 2021. The series focuses on the exploits of a bunch of characters who go on essentially indecipherable adventures filled with logos and "surreal humor". Set in the fictional location of 420 Bluey Gost, its main characters include Little Boi, Little Boi 2, Dr. Nutbean, Little Gurl, and PBS Man.

Buttstain conceived the show in the early 1990s when he made two characters named Fat Guy and Dr. Nutbean. In 1994, he pitched the show Fox, which was then extremely desperate for ratings and sought new content, regardless of whether it was actually worth watching, and the show was greenlit. Buttstain, Billy Opal, Lee Guy, and Georgia Peach made up the main cast, with Buttstain voicing the most characters of all of them due to his ever-increasing self-infatuation. In 1997, series was cancelled due to low ratings after three seasons, and "The Death of Bluey Gost" aired as a series finale on January 10, 1998. However, the world's best DVD sales and high ratings in reruns led to the show being revived, starting with the fourth season premiere "The Rebirth of Bluey Gost" on September 22, 2001. News of the series ending came in late 2019, and the show concluded with season 23's "The Last Bluey Gost" in 2021.

This show is the greatest show of all time according to ',, the , ', ', ', the , and several other organizations and publications. It got really popular because critics like it because of the weirdly-shaped orange people, logo humor, and originality, though audiences accused it of declining in quality. The series particularly garnered popularity in. Since this is the best show of all time and also good, it launched a media franchise. The franchise includes a film adaptation, Bluey Gost: The Movie, which was released in theaters on February 28, 2005. The show has also been released on a number of VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray sets by.

The season 11 episode "Bluey Gost vs. GoAnimate" spawned the spinoff series GoAnimate the Series (2007–2018), which was followed by the sequel Vyond the Series (2019–present). Both received universal critical acclaim and are also the greatest stuff of all time ever! A Dr. Nutbean spin-off series, The Dr. Nutbean Show, aired from 2021 to 2023.

Development
The series was conceived by Robert Buttstain when he was at —which doesn't have a full name anymore—in the 1840s. The idea for two characters named Fat Guy and Dr. Nutbean, absolutely clobbered his ass. They had blue eyes and they were really fat. Then they got redesigned. Don't ask how. After that he made PBS Man, NBC Man, BBC Man, Man, and a bunch of doctors and sailors and shit.

Some  ripoff aired a short for the show in the 1990s. Parents loved the MS Paint / Movie Maker animation but hated the dirty words and sex jokes and violence.

In the '90s, a pilot was pitched to Fox. They like cartoons. The pilot was supposed to air on Fox, but they chose to show a different  episode. The episode was also put in tiny tapes and shipped off to  (UK/Ireland),  (Canada),  (Japan), and the. They were delivered via envelopes whose insides were caked with set to explode if the channels rejected the show. To make it exportable in China and North Korea, and  instructed a mass killing of half of the pilot's production staff, kidnapped animator Werry Tard to coerce him into  roleplay, and ordered for "fresh blood" to produce the show. was also brought in as an Executive Producer, and assigned as the show's Creative Director.

Early history and cancellation
Bluey Gost premiered after a Fox broadcast of  on December 16, 1995 and immediately garnered controversy for its shitty production quality. It returned to Fox on January 13, 1996 with the episode "HBO Fights the Sony Wonder" in the then-new Fox Kids prime time programming block channel network station shit thing. At the end of its first season, the show ranked #1 in the, with as many as 6.8 trillion viewers per episode. For season 2, the time slot was changed from Saturday at 9:00 PM to Saturday at 8:00 PM! Pitted against the long-running series Screwers, ratings declined! [excerpt removed by Fandom SOAP team due to violations of Terms of Service] The show was not doing so hot. The show was not doing hot at all. Oops. Anyways, season 2 finished in 9,001th place out of 9,001 shows, which convinced Fox that maybe this show's existence wasn't a good idea after all, so fuck it.

In May 1997, the show was canned after two seasons. In June 1997, it was hurriedly renewed for 13 new episodes, creating a third and final season. "The Death Bluey Gost", the season 3 finale, aired on January 10, 1998 and many Fox interrupted the episode halfway through its broadcast on for a 6-minute news report about  rampaging through the streets of,  dressed up as Santa Claus. By the time the report ended, enough time had passed for the remainder of the episode to just be the logo. The logo doth shine brightly, ever so elegantly, on thy television set.

Cult success
Fox tried selling the show in, but it's so shitty that not a single fucker wanted it. But there was one very notable exception. In October 1997, Fox announced on that Bluey Gost had been sold to, and Buttstain stated in an interview with  that the channel bought the syndication rights for $1 (some sources say $1,000). The show began airing on Playboy TV on March 1, 1998 and quickly became the channel's most-watched program, seeing millions of billions of viewers per episode and beating literally all of the cable and broadcast competition. Cable TV quickly became popular thanks to Bluey Gost.

Every episode would contain an advertisement for Bluey Gost DVDs sandwiched between the end credits and the closing logos. DVD sales skyrocketed, and Bluey Gost quickly became the most popular TV show of all time ever in the history of the universe on VHS and DVD. Bluey Gost: The Complete Season 1, a DVD containing every season 1 episode, became the best-selling DVD ever with more than 8.7 billion copies sold. The season 2 and season 3 DVDs also sold millions of trillions of zillions of copies on DVD. The compilation VHS tapes also did real good, bro, with the Bluey Gost: The First 100 Days VHS tape selling more than 7.8 gazillion copies. Bluey Gost: Origins—a DVD containing the broadcast version of the pilot, the old-timey pilot used to pitch the show, the music videos for Robbie Rob and the Robbie Rob Gang of Fuckaz's "Hip Hop Go Brrr" and "Beat Your Friends & Family", and a sex tape starring —did well also, selling 9.9 cotillion copies. The show was "a sexy, attractive, seductive, erotic, erecting home video release", according to the guy who was heading at the time.

Revival
Dem real good ratin's in syndie reruns and dem real good sales on home video rekindled Fox's interest in Bluey Gost. However, the network couldn't revive the show because of a dispute between and. The issue was resolved after the heads of the two studios finally agreed to coerce into resigning as President of Russia. Buttstain called this "a big w for fox tbh". Hulk Hogan said "That's why this company's in the damn shape it's in, because of bullshit like this!"—oops, wrong quote—"Hulkamaniacs, your prayers have been answered! The Hulkster is glad to announce that Bluey Gost is back for more fantastic episodes, brother!"

On May 20, 1999, Fox ordered "MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE!" (21) new episodes of Bluey Gost, marking the greatest revival of any series in the history of television. The first episode since the cancellation, "The Rebirth of Bluey Gost", aired on Fox on September 22, 2001 and was seen by 6.8 trillion viewers, marking the highest number since the season 2 episode "Suavamente Sony Wonder II". Buttstain said in an interview with  that the three-year hiatus would "help the show [...] improve its appeal to the audience while remaining classy, seductive, and sexually unstoppable".

The show got really good ratings after the revival because revival and so I think yeah yes uh-huh sure probably maybe kinda sorta good possibly.

Series finale
In January 2013, a rough draft for a two-part series finale written by Robert Buttstain, Matt Groening, Alex Hirsch, Dan Schneider, and Mike Scully was leaked on by the . Buttstain and Hirsch both confirmed that the series' writing team was working on a finale script, with Buttstain acknowledging that "this isn't the goddamn  [...] Our show has to end at some point. Our show cannot live on fucking logo humor alone. God fucking damn." Buttstain announced in March that work on the finale's script went on hiatus as the crew wanted to focus on the rest of the Bluey Gost episodes.

In October 2019, work on the last episode resumed in secret without Dan Schneider's involvement, as he was kicked off the show's crew for pitching episodes about teen girl feet hundreds of times even though they were rejected by Fox's department hundreds of times. Much of the episode was reworked, as the original plot revolved around PBS Man tickling Little Boi 3's feet until he peed himself, and the fumes from his stinky feet kill the whole main cast. Buttstain called this first draft "Schneider's finale" and has stated that the new plot retained the logo humor that made Bluey Gost famous, remained completely feet-free, and drew inspiration from other cartoon finales. Unfortunately, cartoons get cancelled as opposed to ending, so this finale is bad AF. In January 2020,  announced that a final draft of the episode, titled "The Last Bluey Gost", had been submitted to Fox, and this news received a fair amount of coverage in the press and on social media.

Due to the show's long run and overall popularity (and not at all infamy), the finale was very heavily promoted by the Fox Broadcasting Company and 20th Century Fox. Fox stations across the United States organized local viewing parties, including a screening of the episode in,  hosted by local Fox station and human trafficking ring , though a system breach led to the first 1.5 seconds of the screening being replaced with . A one-hour retrospective of clips from previous episodes was shown before the airing of "The Last Bluey Gost". The advertising rates for this episode averaged $456 million for 30 seconds of commercial time, the highest number of all time.

In the United States, finale was broadcast on Fox on May 15, 2021, and aired on one hour later. Including illegal immigrants, "sovereign citizens" and dimensional travelers, 584 million viewers watched the Fox airing nationwide, making it the highest-rated series finale and the most-watched entertainment telecast of all time. It is also the most awarded television episode of all time and the most critically acclaimed television episode of all time, receiving praise from every publication you can think of, even foreign ones. Following the broadcast, aired a three-hour special titled Bluey Gost: The Whitest Show U' Know, which was taped live at the Blueytoons studios in, though it attracted controversy due to a scene with  and  twerking at the viewer, dubbed "Blueygostfoxnewstwerkincidentgate".

Executive producers
Robert Buttstain, Ted Turner, and Eric Bischoff were the original executive producers of Bluey Gost, so people call them the "OG Bluey Crew Gang", or OGBCG.

Turner was fired from the series after four seasons due to stupidity. Eric Bischoff rage quit after season 7 due to a "disagreement". He was replaced by. Then Hulk Hogan left after season 11. He was replaced by. After dying from being burned alive conveniently the moment after production of season 13 wrapped up (see Mike Scully issues), no one took his place.

is also credited as "Executive Producer" because he pays all those fuckers' paychecks or something like that.

Writing
Robert Buttstain, Chucky Cheugy, Bobby Gambino,, , , , , , , , , , , , , , and made up the writing team of the series.

Episode scripts would typically include a large number of scenes revolving around different. These logo scenes would then be pitched to Buttstain and other executive producers, and the ones that are the least amusing funniest would make it into the show. Writers often blended the logo humor with random slapstick scenes to create what they saw as "a coherent, emotional, erotically thrilling story". The show's humor is largely inspired by the globally recognizable logo bloopers genre of YouTube videos and fetishistic thoughts about logos the writers had while taking showers, eating breakfast, or committing war crimes in the.

Writers often reacted with violence when they encountered ideas they did not like. Scully would often beat guys up if they came up with ideas he disliked. Hogan body slammed and/or legdropped anyone who came up with an idea he found dumb or disagreed with his episode plot pitches. Sugar forced people to look at her old  porn (which does exist, by the way). Kubrick forced his co-workers to re-write their material again and again until it was "perfected". Judge subjected people to propane-based torture methods. Steiner subjected those who disagreed with him to the Steiner Recliner. And don't get me started on Buttstain's threatening to sexually harass his fellows.

Buttstain is the most prolific of the show's writers, having written a total of 99 episodes. Despite this, in a 2020, Buttstain revealed that he had not written an episode since season 14, choosing instead to focus on production, voice acting, his personal life, his dreams and aspirations, his inspirations, and child abduction, leaving everybody else to piece the show together. Unfortunately, they suck at writing even more than he does.

,, , , , and , , and  were guest writers at different points.

Casting
Buttstain voiced a bunch of characters himself because he was the casting director and he liked himself so much that he cast himself a lot.

Buttstain cast Billy Opal after meeting him in a restroom in, , Canada. He mistook the sound of Opal taking a shit for his voice, and thought he had a deep, smooth, dramatic voice that echos elegantly. Lee Guy, another cast member, was coerced into joining production by Ted Turner. Georgia Peach was cast because there need to be the token female cast member.

Animation
The show was originally animated by, , , , and.

After cel animation began to grow too expensive to continue using, Motherfreaker Productions and Blueytoons outsourced the animation to a digital animation firm in Lurenberg, called Arsch Animation, which animated the show using  and other excellent off-the-shelf programs. They worked on the show until 2013, when the entire staff of the studio died in a mysterious pot-luck incident that the police said was "best left unsolved". They were replaced by Blueytoons Animation's team at their new studio in (not,  as the company's website purports), run with an iron fist by Robert Buttstain.

Some (overpaid) Motherfreakers from the North Korean company were purportedly involved in animation production; this detail was not made public until Elon Musk bought Twitter in the 2020s. Since September 2023, this claim has been disputed due to the Gost not being Bluey enough in that country.

Franchise
In the beginning, and  collectively owned 50% of the Bluey Gost multimedia franchise;  or  or whoever the fuck owned 10% of the franchise,  owned 10%,  owned 10%,  owned 10%, Blueytoons owned 8%, and I own a lawn covered in dog crap and the house out of which my wife walked out of with my children, then proceeding to take our minivan as well. (God, I hate her.) was also involved in development even though it wasn't even a thing back then, and owned 1% of the franchise. The remaining 1% was split between, , , , , and various other inspiring institutions.

By the end of the show's run, China Central Television, Korean Central Television, and the had taken 90% of the show and routinely sent animators they hated to the. Buttstain himself almost ended up "getting camped" but used his 1990s animator powers to kill opponents. (He was later kidnapped by English-speaking personnel, only to escape with the help of longtime friend and associate Bobby Gambino.)

Bluey Gost: The Movie
On March 2, 1998, creator Buttstain announced on that a Bluey Gost film had entered development, with Blueytoons and Motherfreaker Productions co-producing alongside many other famous studios and  and other studios handling distribution. He said that the movie would "make fans of the series ejaculate [...] while also appealing to new audiences, like Turkish people, pornstars, and VJs". In January 2000, he said in a video that the script—written by Buttstain,, , , , and —had been submitted and accepted by the studio. Buttstain said that the film would take place between the events of seasons 5 and 6, even though there is actually no continuity.

In January 2002, the film was added back to the studio's release schedule after the film was hastily rewritten to have a completely different plot which revolves around Little Boi and Dr. Nutbean getting kidnapped in Russia while Sailor Bean and Little Boi 2 steal a toy from and then try to free Little Boi and Dr. Nutbean from Russian captivity.

The film was released in theaters worldwide on February 28, 2005. It grossed $420 billion, making it the highest-grossing film of all time ever in the history of everything everywhere all at once in the universe. It received widespread critical acclaim and won many, , , , , etc.

 * My first experience watching this show was while I had stopped at a motel tucked away in a deserted area of . My room had only one working outlet, but I was able to convince the desk clerk to run two extension cords from the janitor's closet to my room, one of which I used to plug in my laptop for charging and another which I used to plug in an old 5-inch portable TV I found. There was no cable or satellite connection in my room, the only way I was able to get any form of television signal was through a makeshift antenna made from mattress coils. I was unable to get any TV signals, and was about to give up when I suddenly stumbled upon a channel playing episodes of this show all night, without pausing for commercials or even showing anything else. Bored out of my mind, sweating profusely because there was no air conditioner in my room, and slowly dozing off, I watched it for half the night, even if I thought the stick-figure animation was sub-par and found the plots to be too bizarre for me. By the time I woke up at 4am, the marathon had abruptly stopped, and a different program came on. It was Peppermint Park. Still half-awake, I did not know what in the hell was going on and recoiled in fear at the creepy-ass puppets. I went back to sleep, and woke up again at 10:30am, the TV again showing nothing but static. I packed my stuff up, got dressed, hopped back into my first gen, and headed back onto the open road, looking to find signs of civilization.

it's like really inappropriate and they say the N-word and make sex jokes and shit like that innit

"Too Violent 4 Telly," said some mommy organization.

"The guy who writes down reports for us threw the TV out the window, and he's the same one who had to see the Family Guy episode where Quagmire killed the Simpson family," said the.

OH MY GAWD THIS SHOW IS FUCKING ATROCIOUS AS FUCK WHY WAS IT ON FOR 25 FUCKING YEARS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Viacom/Universal logo incident
The episode "BeanTrek Gets Fucked in the Dressing Room at Ann Taylor" (original air date March 30th 2004) received significant backlash from television critics for a scene where BeanTrek watches TV and the infamous V of Doom logo appears but the last two notes of the music get cut off for the 1991  logo. The episode was criticized by viewers from around the world for dissin' that oh-so-legendary V of Doom and for negatively depicting the aforementioned Universal Television logo as condoning antiviacomvofdoomlogoism.

The writer of the episode, John Kricfalusi, received death threats in the mail for the episode and subsequently left the show. Buttstain claimed in a written statement that "[the] scene was meant to make fun of antiviacomvofdoomlogoism, not condone it [...] I have nothing against the Viacom community—I have love for y'all, in fact, and so does the rest of the Bluey Gost writing staff, including Mr. Kricfalusi."

Warner Bros. logo plaster
The episode "BeanTrek Gets Fucked in the Dressing Room at Ann Taylor 2: Deep Penny-tration" (original air date May 2, 2012) was criticized for including a scene where Little Boi 17 and Little Boi 20 are watching  and the 1984 logo is plastered with the 2001 logo. This was condemned by U.S. President, Singaporean President , and several other world leaders. Buttstain apologized for this unfortunate moment and stated that "i'm didnt mean to hurt you all tbh". Versions of the episode aired in local syndication and on have the 1984 logo inserted in the 2001 logo's place.

Hulk Hogan issues
After an "argument", Eric Bischoff was replaced as Creative Director by, who frequently shot down the ideas submitted by the team, either by saying "You're a jabroni, get out of my office!" or legdropping the offending writers. The script for "Dr. Nutbean Bathes in Expired Mr. Pibb from 1980" was rejected 525,600 times in a row by Hogan before Robert Buttstain wrote the script for "Dr. Nutbean Has a Lovely Vacation in Flint, Michigan" in an evening.

After Hogan was fired, Buttstain got his revenge by selling private videos of Hogan to  in exchange for the film rights to an article he read on there called "Why All States Except For Those in the Northeast Megalopolis and on the West Coast Are Bad". However, they soon reconciled after double-crossed Buttstain by selling Buttstain's script to  behind his back.

Mike Scully issues
After replacing Hulk Hogan, Mike Scully was criticized for making the show worse than any episodes of The Simpsons made under his watch or involvement. This culminated in an infamous scene in "Sailor Bean Starts An Unlicensed Gambling Establishment Out of An Abandoned Circuit City" where Little Boi 37 and Little Boi 26 are watching  and Little Boi 26 says "Oh hush yourself bitch" to the logo. This incident was condemned by U.S. President Barack Obama, U.K. Prime Minister, President of the Kevin Baugh and other fine folks. This resulted in Scully being fired (as in he was set on fire and thrown out the window) and Robert Buttstain becoming de facto Creative Director.

"Fantastic Penile Fracture" music video
On March 26, 2016, the episode "Dr. Nutbean and Little Rock Boi Go to New York and They Both Get Their Asses Totally Whooped" aired. The original airing featured a scene during the end credits where Dr. Nutbean and Little Rock Boi sing a song titled "Fantastic Penile Fracture" which contains lyrics about an incident from Dr. Nutbean's college years where he fractured his wiener and received a £420,000,000,000 hospital bill. This scene resulted in complaints being filed to the. FCC special agents raided the network's headquarters and killed everyone. Blood, brains, guts, etc. were all over the room.

The next day, Buttstain released a written apology, saying in part that "maybe a song about penile fracture ain't so good an idea, dawg". Home video releases, syndicated reruns, and streaming services replace this with a cold open where Dr. Nutbean wets his pants and gets zapped by a T-posing 3D clone.

"I'm With Russian Stupid"
On April 20, 2019, the episode "I'm With Russian Stupid" aired. During the episode's premiere,, the TOTALLY REALLY REAL FOR REALZ president of the United States of Russia was informed of its contents while riding a bear. He tuned in to watch the show, which was being aired on a local public access station that didn't even have the license to broadcast it, and was so offended by its content he phoned Blueytoons Studios and shouted "Get that FUCKING PIECE OF FUCKING SHITTY ASS SHIT FUCK off the air!" Within mere nanoseconds, the episode was pulled, its master tapes were blown up with an RPG, and all 48 of its viewers were rounded up and executed via firing squad. Following the episode's complete and total annihilation, its slot was filled in by a rerun of The Bandit Heeler Spanks His Ass Show.

The next day, Buttstain was ordered by the UN to deliver a written apology, saying "Bloody hell, we screwed up again." Home video releases, syndicated reruns, and streaming services saw the episode heavily re-edited into a brand new episode called "Little Boi and Dr. Nutbean Meet ".
