Why is it that when we try to get a pitcher of water from a water dispenser, the water usually makes the sound "bluugggee", and I see some bubbles going up?Why is this so?

When you obtain a pitcher of water a certain volume is displaced and a void is created that needs to be filled(as no Vacuum can exist in the bottle) and this is replaced by air. In other words air replaces the water in the system, this is the gurgling sound that you hear, as the air bubbles enter the system. As air is lighter than water it rises to the top in the form of bubbles.

Air pressure. When you dispense water the jug needs to balance the air pressure so that it is equal. For example when you buy a bottle of water and put your lips around the entire opening and begin to drink. What happens? The water causes suction inside the bottle. When you remove your lips the bottle equalizes and the pressure is balanced. Same thing with a water cooler
