This is not a dog. You heard me right. Blue from Blue's Clues is not a dog.

Sure, she looks like a dog and she barks like a dog, but she is not a dog.

Get this. Blue is in fact an advanced member of an alien species looking to learn from humans in an eventual bid to take over planet Earth.

An alien species that is getting closer to achieving that goal season by season.

And here's the craziest part.

This is barely a theory.

As you're about to see, practically all of this is explicitly spelled out in the show's canon.

So sit down in your thinking chair and think, think, think, think about your impending servitude to an army of canine-themed overlords.

That's Alien for Sit and Obey. Hello internet, welcome to film theory.

The show that's really found its niche talking about the dark lore of children's programming starring puppies.

It is a very specific content category, but we are dialed into it.

For those of you who have no idea what's going on, today we're talking about Blues Clues,

the iconic Nickelodeon kids show that ran for 10 years between 1996 and 2006 before getting

revived in 2019. Every episode was an interactive audience adventure, as the animated dog Blue

and her human companion roamed around

their storybook house in order to find three clues that would help him solve the episode's big mystery.

Honestly, when you look at it, this thing was like the training ground for theorists of the future.

Blue's clues walked so film theory could run. Along the way, they'd sing songs, read the mail, and do stuff like this.

We need our handy dandy. So, book. Noopbook, right sing songs, read the mail, and do stuff like this. You need our handy dandy?

So book.

Nope, book, right?

You know, the good sort of formulaic that any kid's show really thrives off of.
