If you're going to take your kid to a party based on a movie or TV show, please make sure it's an officialevent. Remember that viral Willy Wonka experience that looked like a scene cut from Breaking Bad? Well, now there has been a very similar incident for the beloved children's show Bluey.

The catastrophe in question took place at a Las Vegas hot dog restaurant, which, first of all, LOL. The restaurant, Dirt Dog, apparently promised games, face-painting, and the chance to meet Bluey, the beloved animated pup. Whoever planned this event, which, thankfully, was free, didn't quite grasp the immense popularity of Bluey with children and parents alike. Hundreds of people showed up, the Daily Mailreported.

The restaurant workers did janky face painting. There weren't enough treats for the number of folks who showed up. And, importantly, Bluey was just someone dressed in a cheap-looking onesie.

The outrage was even picked up by local Las Vegas news. To be fair to Dirt Dog, the restaurant appeared to be trying to do something low-stakes and fun for kids. But it seems like the response and interest far exceeded what they expected. Again, people freaking love Bluey.

This Bluey blunder doesn't seem entirely on the level of the Willy Wonka "immersive" experience that cost $40 and was the saddest-looking party in history. Still, if you promise kids Bluey, you've got to deliver.
