Blooregard Q. Kazoo

[FostersFriend]

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n55/FostersFriend/Picture3.png
The secret ingrediant to the show. Blooregard Q. Kazoo, otherwise known as Bloo. A great and very special imaginary friend. Who belongs to our favorite 8 year old, Mac. Alongside each other they go on crazy adventures, that neither you or me could ever dream about. Bloo may sometimes be considered a "jerk" but we all know deep down he's got a heart of gold. He's mostly in his own little world that crazy Bloo, i'm assuming that's why he couldn't care much. But we all love him. I'm sure thats what attracted many of us to Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends. Like I said before Bloo just so happens to be the secret ingrediant that makes this show so special to many fans. 8-)

[Bloofanatic]

I love Bloo (hence the name) he's awsome

[FostersFriend]

Loving the name btw! Yes Bloo is my favorite character I love him to bits 8-)

[Imaginary Light]

Bloo is awesome. He is, without a doubt, my favorite character on this show. I know that there has been a lot of Bloo-bashing (not here, but in other places) because of his arrogant and selfish attitude, but quite honestly, THAT'S the reason I like him! Because of his arrogant and selfish attitude. And he can even be sweet sometimes (see: end of Cuckoo for Coco Cards). Blooregard Q. Kazoo is actually what attracted me to this show. He's such an awesome little guy!

[Bloofanatic]

Loving the name btw! Yes Bloo is my favorite character I love him to bits 8-)

Awwww thanks. Yeah Bloo is cute.
I love him to bits too

[FostersFriend]

Imaginary Light. Your read my mind. Thats soo true 8-)

[Kzinistzerg]

It's great with you can put so much expression into a little blue blob with just a few lines and tone of voice.

[FostersFriend]

It is quite amazing. Craig McCracken must have put alot of thought into Bloo e.g. like his expressions etc Don't we just love Bloo 8D

[Kzinistzerg]

Yeah... It must be difficult to capture the nuances of each expression and to fit it to what's going on.

[kageri]

I agree with IL; I love Bloo's selfish sarcastic ego-tripping, but I guess I just gravitate toward immature, bratty characters. But I mean, come on. He's adorable.

[ch3353-h4xx0rrrr]

Completely adorable, Kageri.

Bloo's great. He's definately the most expressive character on the show. Very difficult to do with such a simple-looking character, but Foster's definately pulls it off. -wink-

[Scribble]

I think Bloo's character design and raage of expressions was what made me love him in the first place. I too was amazed at how such a simple character could be so... alive! And he was the one the made me watch Foster's in the first place.^^ I usually find selfish, bratty characters annoying, but it's different with Bloo somehow, probably because we know he doesn't mean to hurt anyone. And yes, his adorableness does help things along a bit! 8-)

[FostersFriend]

I agree. I never really like jerky characters. But Bloo was just soo cute (he oozed cuteness) and he really didn't mean it. Many reasons for his Jerkyness is that he doesn't even know, sometimes he's so caught up in the moment. That it just seems to happen as he is occupied with a subject that he finds overwelming. Bloo Rocks :D 8-)

[Kzinistzerg]

Yeah, his cuteness (hehe, a blob oozes cuteness?) as well as the fact that he's not malicious redeem him somewhat...

[kageri]

I even like characters that are malicious, because.... well, I'm really weird. I just like the "arrested development" thing Bloo's got goin' on. He's like an eternal little kid... wait, if he's only five, is it really arrested development? Something to think about...

[Kzinistzerg]

Something else to think about: are Imaginary Friends immortal? Because I don't wanna imagine Bloo in a spaceship...

[One Radical Dude]

I'm not really a big fan of jerky characters, either. Blooregard Q. Kazoo is one exception. Why? First of all, you have to admit that he is indeed, well -- cute. Second, I don't believe he's trying to hurt anyone, when he's up to no good. Third, Bloo's voice-over. You have Bloo's appearance, add the high-pitched, adorable sounding voice -- voila!! You have the ingredients to create a fun, lovable character! This is why he's definitely one of my favourites. 8-)

[BlooCheese]

I don't really notice Bloo's self-centered nature. I guess that's because his cuteness radiates so brightly that it hides his selfishness. I love that blue blob with his funny voice and his big smile and his crazy expressions and his crazy adventures in that crazy house.

[DoubleLatte]

I agree with IL; I love Bloo's selfish sarcastic ego-tripping, but I guess I just gravitate toward immature, bratty characters. But I mean, come on. He's adorable.

Utterly and completely. Bloo's impulsive, reckless, sometimes insensitive, and he makes it ALL look so cute.

Quick question: where exactly did Bloo learn how to drive? It just baffled me when I saw "Bus the Two of Us" for the first time.

[taranchula]

Quick question: where exactly did Bloo learn how to drive? It just baffled me when I saw "Bus the Two of Us" for the first time.


Well Bloo has driven before, in the season 2 episode "Partying Is Such Sweet Soiree" where he had commandeered Madam Foster's Firebird to search for Mac.

[Kzinistzerg]

Simply getting the car someplace-sort-of is easy if you know which pedal is which and how to turn it on. Doing so legaly requires much more skill... hehe...

[taranchula]

Well in Partying, Bloo was the one steering, while Wilt was actually the one operating the gas and the breaks from the back seat with his long legs.

[Mac]

Bloo is hysterical and goes well with Mac because they are the exact opposites. They actually kind of remind me of Jack Sparrow and Will Turner together. XD

[Bloofanatic]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vkEqs3Xd_g I thorght I'd show you guys My new Bloo music vid.

[BlooCheese]

Mac and Bloo complete each other...
"He's the chocolate to my peanut butter!"
"The salt to your pepper!"
"The pop to your corn!"
"The sizzle to my wizzle!"

But I'm not suggesting a pairing.

[Sims Katie]

Something else to think about: are Imaginary Friends immortal? Because I don't wanna imagine Bloo in a spaceship...They don't seem to age (although they can sire offspring, aparently). If you look at the photos from The Big Picture, Frankie and M.Foster change over time, but the friends around them stay exactly the same!

[Scribble]

They don't seem to age (although they can sire offspring, aparently).

They can? Sorry, I'm probably missing something obvious here.^^;

[Sims Katie]

They can? Sorry, I'm probably missing something obvious here.^^;
Juan and Juanita, the Imaginary fleas? They had a dozen imaginary flea babies

They reminds me, who imagined the imaginary fleas? Chewy?

[LaBlooGirl]

Bloo is remarkable in the way he's affected me....I know I love a show when I love the star character, and the reason being because the creator of said show did such awesome character ideas.

I didn't like Bloo much in the beginning, really I didn't. He annoyed me, and mainly because he was a big jerk who acted totally selfish, careless, and even did things that were kind of mean to Mac.

But then...well then I started to see just WHY Bloo did these things. I watched the pilot a few extra times, looking for hints. And then it hit me, I realized why...and I couldn't dislike him anymore. For one thing, just seeing Bloo's sad face when he saw Mac going into his mother's room for a "talk"...he knew. He knew she was gonna blame everything on Bloo (not directly but you know she did) and tell Mac to get "rid" of him, like a toy that's outlived its purpose.
How would that affect you, to hear something like that? Of course, that's the whole plot to this show....and why Foster's was created, obviously. Madame Foster thinks like we fans do, she obviously knows that IFs are getting the "short end of the stick", and she wants to give them a loving home, and another shot at adoption with hopefully a better family then the one that abandoned them. (Or the kid who was forced to give up the Imaginary, ala Mac.)

I realize now that every bad thing Bloo does is for two reasons...one, plain naivity (he just doesn't get it sometimes), and the other, emotional anger. He sometimes acts up REAL BAD....and I noticed he's usually at his worst when Mac is NOT around. Just watch the eps! (This isn't the case for ALL of them, but for most.)
Of course this only emphasizes the close bond the two have, and like Craig said, the two complete each other like one whole being.

So...yeah...getting a bit dramatic there ( I am Drama Queen, hear me roar.) but that's why I know adore Bloo. In fact, when I watch an episode and see things like him apologizing to Coco or inviting his friends to things (like Wilt), you know Bloo has a true gold heart deep inside...he just likes to build up barriers around it and try to act like he doesn't have a care in the world.

And to that Bloo goes... ::)

LOL

[Scribble]

Juan and Juanita, the Imaginary fleas? They had a dozen imaginary flea babies

They reminds me, who imagined the imaginary fleas? Chewy?

Ohhh yeah, thanks for reminding me.^^ Hmm maybe lol, but it seems a bit strange that a dog would want to imagine friends that would irritate him to no end. o.o

[taranchula]

Ohhh yeah, thanks for reminding me.^^ Hmm maybe lol, but it seems a bit strange that a dog would want to imagine friends that would irritate him to no end. o.o


No that couldn't have been the case, as Chewy himself is an imginary puppy (Which is why Chewy is still living in Foster's despite being ruled over by a Dog hating president.) and well you know about the whole business about imaginaries not being able to imagine new friends as it was brought up in the Land of The Flea episode, When Bloo wanted Mac to imagine him some fleas of his own, Bloo was all he like if could do it himself, he would, but he couldn't, so he was dependent on Mac to do it for him.

[Kzinistzerg]

After reading through the 'Wilt' thread, it reminded me, remember when everyone moved back together in "Room with a Feud"? It's interesting to see how close they are, and more pointedly how Bloo was willing to go too, since he was fighting and all.

[Nyo]

I mean, come on. He's adorable.

YESTHANKYOU.

I agree very much. :bloosmirk:

[Voxxyn]

I have to give credit where credit is due, and salute the staff for creating such a wild, unpredictable, hysterical and memorable character out of just a little blue blob. It sends a really nice message to all the hacks and wannabes out who think that elaborate CGI and complicated technical details are more important than the heart and personality of the characters.

VIVA LA BLOOREGARD.

I think that's true not just of character design but of media in general these days. It feels like they're focusing too much on razzle dazzle (getting every one of a characters CGI feathers perfectly detailed, for example) and forgetting the heart of the story their trying to tell.

[LaBlooGirl]

I triple this! Wait a minute, didn't I agree with this statement already? :P

[Emma]

I love little Blooregard...a lot. A**holes are my bread n' butter when it comes to all spectrems of pop culture. And (in addition to being SO FREAKIN' CUTE) my favorite thing about him is how his gigantic ego totally eclipses everything. No wonder he can't see how much he annoys people, there's no way his lil' two foot nuttin' frame could see over it.

And his voice is just...*hugs Keith Fergeson*

[LaBlooGirl]

I would love to see one hint or reference to Bloo's blanket theory....I always thought his love for hugs was one of those references, but that could be analyzing a bit too much.
He DOES like contact with people...a blanket is in direct contact with someone, but again that could be stretching it.

Wouldn't it be cute if there were a scene where the heat is out at Foster's in the middle of winter, and Bloo offers to keep Mac warm?
Aw.
Yeah well I just live for little things like that, call me strange if you want.

*restrains self from adding to already-floor-length list of fanart ideas*

CURSE YOU LABLOOGIRL

....Yeah, I'm glad I'm not in too much of a minority in the "UNFEELING JERKS ARE REALLY COOL!" mindset. Granted, Bloo is far nicer than some of my other favorite characters, but he's still.... well.... Bloo.

But it's his lovability under it that is a true testament to the talent of the writers.

.....*hand wanders off to find a pencil*

[Mr. Marshmallow]

Bloo is loveable BECAUSE of his obnoxious and down right crazy behavior. Bloo is clearly not your average imaginary friend, and it's amazing how polar opposite he can be from Mac and yet at the same time, still prove that he has some good inside of him "House of Bloo" "Neighbor Pains" etc.

I think Bloo is the best imaginary character on there because it amazes me how much creativity, crazyness, and wildness he can make for such a simple designed character. He's a blue blob with no legs, ears, or a nose, and he still manages to steal the show just by being who he is. It's really remarkable.

[LaBlooGirl]

OMG I would so love you if you made a picture of that. AWWWW....it's nice to see those rare moments of peace....like the one Craig drew of Mac and Bloo just lying there on the grass, observing the clouds.
But to see Bloo keeping Mac warm in the cold house, partly because it's his friend and partly because his blanket instincts are kicking in?!
Oh, I'd be in heaven.

[Kzinistzerg]

Blanket instincts! Lol! Oh god, that made my day... hehe...

[BlooCheese]

I really like the notion of Bloo being a security blanket. It makes me love my blanket more.

[Kzinistzerg]

I love my banket because it's cold. It's kindof a cute idea, though.

*wheeepwheeeepwheeeep* Blanket homing instincts! *wheeepwheeepwheeep*

: D

[lucyrocks73]

Awww... Can't you just see Mac being a Linus of sorts? Excuse the inner-Peanuts fangirl (*glances a penname/username and wonders where it came from*).

But where is our Snoopy, always trying to steal the blanket? And that's where the blanket theory (to me) doesn't work- there's no plot if everything's just harmony!

I'm not saying that I don't love security blankets...

I love Bloo like he is.

'Cause he's obnoxious, like me.:bloocross: ...

LOL The idea is Bloo being BASED on a security blanket, BASED, my dear.
I think it's cute and I'll stick to that theory, whether true or not. ^^

[BlooCheese]

Does Bloo have a spine? I know in House of Bloo's, Mac said that Bloo was spineless. Did he mean that literally, figuratively, or both?

[Mr. Marshmallow]

I think he meant both, Bloo doesn't appear to have any bones or veins or much of anything really. I'm not sure how the whole "anatomy" issue of imaginary friends goes. Or if there is really anything to it at all.

Bloo is basically like a walking talking jellyfish in terms of physiology. But I think in actuality he has no spine.

[kageri]

He has veins, since he had bloodshot eyes in some episode I forgot, but I don't think the anatomy of IFs does have anything to it. Bloo's body can do whatever the joke or story requires.

[Kzinistzerg]

Yeah I think it's left as something that's really not all that relevant. I mean, how does eduardo balance on those feet that are pretty much pancakes? Besides, explainig it would take away from the fun- this is pretty much same reason Bill Watterson never explained what the deal was with Hobbes.

[BlooCheese]

LOL. Pancake feet.

[Sims Katie]

I think he meant both, Bloo doesn't appear to have any bones or veins or much of anything really. I'm not sure how the whole "anatomy" issue of imaginary friends goes. Or if there is really anything to it at all.
Well he does have blood, or some kind of tick-drinkable fluid at least 8D

[Emma]

Yeah, but I bet you if they ever needed him not to have blood for a joke, he'd be as empty as my savings account.

...Although one has to wonder what sort of joke it might be. :bloocross:

[Sims Katie]

Yeah, but I bet you if they ever needed him not to have blood for a joke, he'd be as empty as my savings account.

Deflate him? Pop him like a balloon?

[LaBlooGirl]

Well we know Imaginaries are supposed to be living, breathing beings. Therefore, they have to have blood, and that means having veins, if you really want to get scientific about it.
And yeah, someone mentions the ticks in that one episode, so it proves Bloo has blood.
And how can something NOT have a spine and move around like that? I don't see how that's possible....

[x_dummkoff_x]

http://icons.iconator.com/848/ICONATOR_dddcd0e86b6e15d5a0c824e97f2d3d3c.gif
cuz he's bloo and he has the power!

[kageri]

Cause he's imaginary! I mean, if he had a spine, he wouldn't really be a blob, eh? Eh? Know what I mean? I think you do.

[BlooCheese]

Yeah, I know what you mean. But still. If he didn't have a spine or at least something that supports him when he stands, wouldn't he be oozing all over the floor like a worm?

[Emma]

Yeah, I know what you mean. But still. If he didn't have a spine or at least something that supports him when he stands, wouldn't he be oozing all over the floor like a worm?

I want to make a witty reference to Bloo's favorite dance move, but I'm afraid I'm not clever enough. :bloocross:

[Sims Katie]

And how can something NOT have a spine and move around like that? I don't see how that's possible....

How does Nemesister fly and Imaginary Man have a mashed potato gun? They're imaginary! They can do whatever they will, and that goes for Bloo as well.

[LaBlooGirl]

How does Nemesister fly and Imaginary Man have a mashed potato gun? They're imaginary! They can do whatever they will, and that goes for Bloo as well.

Well hey I'm only going by what Mr. Herriman says..."When a child imagines a friend they become REAL." So they are only imaginary in a sense they came from a child's imagination, IMO. (I'm paraphrasing him, I'm not sure if that's how he stated it exactly.)

[kageri]

Yeah, but for imaginary friends, being boneless or whatever is part of being real. What we mean is that they're real, but because they're imaginary, things like that are possible. They don't conform to the basic laws of physics/biology/gravity/common sense.

[Daredemon]

Bloo is the "Best Imaginery Friend Ever" in my opinion, it's his attitude, sarcastic ways, and a whole lot over other things that makes me like him so much. Specially his Self-Centerism and sarcasm that hooks me..

Mac: See! You just used sarcasm!
Bloo: I did?! Ohh.... Suuuuure i did...

[Mr. Marshmallow]

It's funny but as I was working today, I was thinking about Foster's and I made a really weird but seemingly accurate representation of someone who reminded me ALOT like Bloo did. And that's Michael Scott (Steve Carrel) from "The Office".

He seems like a human version of Bloo and it amazes me I didn't see this before. Both are:

-Insensitive
-Stupid (most of the time)
-Selfish
-Egostitical
-Weird
-Lazy
-Incapable of doing any kind of work
-Child like
-Immature
-And virutally annoying to almost everyone around them

Bloo is just as insensitive to Mac and everyone else's feelings as Scott is all of his employees on the Officer, including Dwight who's ironically his ONLY supporter.

[Mr. Marshmallow]

Hey

We all got to find some way to relate to one another :P.

[Kzinistzerg]

Say, has anyone else noticed his name is very close to beauregard, which as i recall, means 'handsome' in french?

[Sparky]

Say, has anyone else noticed his name is very close to beauregard, which as i recall, means 'handsome' in french?

Well yeah, I mean, I always assumed "Blooregard" was a pun on "Beauregard". I mean, they coulda called him Blooford, as a pun on Buford, right? ;) Blooregard just sounds better.

[One Radical Dude]

"Blooford" -- I don't like the sound of that. :P I'm glad that "Blooregard" was chosen, and yes, I, too, believe that the name is meant to be a pun of "Beauregard".

[Cassini90125]

The name "Beauregard" is in fact of Old French origin; it means "beautiful in expression". 8-)

[BlooCheese]

Bloo is pretty handsome to me.

[kageri]

I'm sure he'd be elated if he knew that.

[BlooCheese]

It would probably make him more self-centered and haughty too.

[Kzinistzerg]

Nah, i think he'd take it kinda the way hobbes would: just an affirmation of somethign eh already knew, anyway.

[kageri]

Nah, i think he'd take it kinda the way hobbes would: just an affirmation of somethign eh already knew, anyway.

Then he'd make everyone call him by his full name just to rub it in their faces.

[Kzinistzerg]

Yeah...

Well, Bloo claims to know french, dosn't he?

[Emma]

I'd love to see what his personal translation of his name would be!!

[Tonya]

I dunno whether to call myself a Bloo fangirl or not. Personally, I think he'd be a really cool buddy to hang with, but then sometimes every now and then my likness towards Bloo rises from friendship, to fangirlism, then friendship again. Eh well....
And goodness gracious great balls of fire, could you imagine how much worse Bloo would act if he had all the female attention that Wilt has? Oh goodness.....

[BlooCheese]

And goodness gracious great balls of fire, could you imagine how much worse Bloo would act if he had all the female attention that Wilt has? Oh goodness.....

I wish he did have as many fangirls as Wilt, or more so. I truly wish it were so. *gets attacked by Wilt fangirls*

[Matchsticks]

I am sorta a Bloo fangirl. Though at times I wanna choke him.

[Amritama]

Bloo is (one of) my favorite imaginary friend in the show. He's self-centered, somewhat immature, and pretty much a huge jerk. He pretty much possesses all of the characteristics of an anti-hero (which is very rare to see in cartoons). And his character design certainly does help, but maybe that's just me. He's a character you find too cute to smack, even though he deserves to get clubbed by something.

Although I like Bloo, I wouldn't say I'm a fangirl. Heck, I'm not really a fangirl of anything (other than water, but that's because it's super helpful in labs).

[Emma]

I actually really glad Bloo doesn't have the same sort of star power that Wilt has, mainly because I don't really like fangirlism and there's already enough badfic featuring Bloo without adding an onslaught of Mary Sues.

Naturally, I wish the bashing wasn't as *ahem* harsh as it is. And as consistant. I mean, part of me (a small part) is actually dreading GWH because I know Bloo is going to say/do something which will insight a riot amongst the Wilt girls...of course, if he didn't, I'd be disappointed, because I enjoy his jerky moments. Just another one of those "can't have your cake and eat it too" moments. :bloocross:

[BlooCheese]

Do that many people find Bloo to be a horrible nuinsance bent on making life miserable for those living at Foster's? I can't find anything wrong with him. I just want to see Bloo being loved, not hated. One of my friends dislikes him with great intensity because he was overly mean to Coco in Cuckoo for Coco Cards. (I've never seen it, but from what I've heard/read/seen of screen grabs, Bloo seemed extra jerky. Or is it jerkie? Hehe. Jerky. Beef jerky.) But isn't everybody a jerkface at some time or another? I don't understand how people can hate him, though I shouldn't be talking as I am no supporter of Goo...

It's "jerky". As for being loved, I understand that. However, people are going to dislike him (or any other character). It's the way things go. As I've mentioned before, most cartoon characters are jerks, especially characters, such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and others. Being a jerk is part Blooregard's personality. It's fine for one to dislike Bloo, but for the dumbest reasons -- I feel that I should respond to that. Reasons, such as "he was so nice in the pilot or Season One (there are plenty of episodes where he was being a jerk", argh.. :macwor:

[Matchsticks]

I notice that he seems to get jerkier as the series goes on, at the begining he was sweet though kinda self-centered but now in season four he is starting to act like a jerk. I think it is because he is not able to spend as much time as he wants/should with Mac. I like it when Bloo is jerky though (even though I wanna pop him one) because he balances out Mac, Wilt, Coco and Ed. He is the healthy does of nitro :D

@Emma: I sorta hope Bloo does something that will cause a riot amongst the fangirls. It will be halrious to watch (both in GWH and amongst the fangirls) but I bet in the end (if Bloo does cause a riot) by the end of GWH he will make up for it.

[BlooCheese]

Even if Bloo does do something obviously wrong, I'd still think he's right. I don't know why.

ORD, you have a funny avatar. 8D

I completely agree. I actually wrote a big long essay over at TV.com comparing Bloo to Daf, but that thing's so old I don't think it'd be in my best interest to post it here.

In response to Matchsticks, it would be hilarious. But I just feel bad for my poor fingers -- they're going to be worked to the bone if I have to type out why Bloo shouldn't be evicerated and strung up in town square for all to see...over and over. :bloocross:

[One Radical Dude]

Even if Bloo does do something obviously wrong, I'd still think he's right. I don't know why.

ORD, you have a funny avatar. 8D

Aw, thanks. Yeah, I agree -- it's hard to explain it. :bloogrin

[LaBlooGirl]

Do that many people find Bloo to be a horrible nuinsance bent on making life miserable for those living at Foster's? I can't find anything wrong with him. I just want to see Bloo being loved, not hated. One of my friends dislikes him with great intensity because he was overly mean to Coco in Cuckoo for Coco Cards. (I've never seen it, but from what I've heard/read/seen of screen grabs, Bloo seemed extra jerky. Or is it jerkie? Hehe. Jerky. Beef jerky.) But isn't everybody a jerkface at some time or another? I don't understand how people can hate him, though I shouldn't be talking as I am no supporter of Goo...

Yes, but Bloo showed he had a heart and really cared about his friendship with Coco in the end, which is how he keeps saving himself from being completely hated.

Also I can't stress this enough, and I will do it AGAIN, he is FIVE YEARS OLD.
Good gawd, how much can he possibly know about mature behavior (or at least more proper behavior) when he's only FIVE? I mean, when I was five, I could be just like him, lovable one moment, getting' spanked the next.... :blooevil:

He's LEARNING. He's the character in the show that's meant to show the kids why being bad and jerky all the time isn't good, and how you can hurt your friends by doing so. (Especially in that ep.) Bloo, to me, is actually starting to improve a little here and there, but he's going to do it slowly, because as Kageri has stated, he's a bit STUPID. And incredibly naive. ::)

When the writers decide to take stupid twists and allow Bloo to get away with a scheme (like in the movie ep.), that kinda bothers me. I know Craig's real purpose in this show isn't just humor but the stressing of friendship and morals, as well as social behavior. We just learn all this (especially the kids) through cute and lovable characters. Everyone is different, which shows variety. Bloo being the misbehaving prank-loving type, Wilt the good-natured, down-to-earth type, Ed being the gullible but lovable type, Coco being the excitable but moralistic type.....Frankie being the care-giver and compassionate heart....etc, etc, etc. Duchess even plays and important role by being the "villian", her less then admirable qualities of being completely vain, self-centered, and well...bent on world domination....or something like it...but my point being that Bloo has a role and it's all to teach important life lessons.

If you look at it that way, you'll see that Bloo will most likely get better as he gets older. I see he has a big heart, he just doesn't always admit it...or he's just too naive sometimes to even realize the extent of his ways and how they effect people.

If you notice, nine times out of ten Bloo listens to Mac, no matter how upset or crazy he gets. And Mac is also moralistic (usually) so Bloo will learn from him too over time.

*whew* Hope that made sense.:)

[BlooCheese]

Um...I think I only got half of what you were saying. I think it's something like "Bloo is really a caring character at heart. He's just a bit immature, but he'll one day learn to be more considerate of others and become less of a jerk."
I totally support Bloo. Everything he does is right to me, even if it isn't. And I do realize Bloo's five years old and that he might grow up and mature, unless IFs are created with a certain personality that'll never change, but I love him as he is now. He can be as stupid or selfish or jerkish or annoying as he need be, and I would never feel bothered by it. I am a Bloo fangirl, and this is how I roll! :bloocross:

Hey! Don't you feel the same way about Frankie, Cassini?

[Cassini90125]

I certainly do. Don't get upset, I'm just teasing you. :) ;)

[BlooCheese]

LOL. I'm not upset. Just making sure.

[Invader Bloo]

"Yooooooour'e not-a going to Europe-a!"
I love him because he's such a jerk.8D

[Kzinistzerg]

I think we all do.

I would LOVE to have Bloo over for one day. Man ,the stuff m yfamily does, he'd love it!

[Medikor]

I love Bloo! He's just hillarious! Even my mom likes him. He's usually the one who provides the most laughs. But also, he always has a lessen to learn. He's a great character.:D

[Invader Bloo]

I don't think he learns anything or atleast he dosen't pay attention to what he's learning.

[Voxxyn]

I think that's so that they can have him "learn" more lessons in future episodes. IMO, the children who watch the show are the ones actually learning from his mistakes.

I agree with what LaBlooGirl said; he's an important character, in that he shows to them that being a jerk to everybody isn't a good thing and WILL INDEED have negative consequences.

[Invader Bloo]

I like Bloo as an ignorant jerk! I think the Foster's crew likes it that way too.

[Voxxyn]

I didn't say that I don't want him to be that way. I'm just saying that he does a good job teaching kids the consequences of misbehavior. That, AND it's almost always at the center of the show's humor.

[lucyrocks73]

I love Bloo; I love the sarcasm, I love the humor, and I love everything about him.

I do wish that we could see more Mac and Bloo best friends moments though. Although Squeeze the Day (my favorite episode) had a ton of that, I do wish we had a bit more.

Bloo also makes me sad sometimes though. I mean, he has such high expectaions for everything, and he gets whiny-disapointed when things don't go his way. Almost like a little kid.

All in all, though, I love Bloo.

-Marty :goo:

[Emma]

Ahg, I hope everyone who has Comcast OnDemand goes and watches Bloo's the Boss as soon as possible. I can't wait 'till it airs normally and I can discuss it with you Bloo lovers! :bloocross:

[Kzinistzerg]

I can't wait, either. darn you on demand, not spontaneously installing yourself onto my tv!

[BlooCheese]

Darn you cable, not spontaneously installing yourself onto my TV!
I hope somebody puts it on YouTube once it airs.

[Kzinistzerg]

ME too. Darn you foster's, not spontaneously broadcasting directly into my brain!

[taranchula]

ME too. Darn you foster's, not spontaneously broadcasting directly into my brain!

Give them time, I am sure somebody from Time Warner or some other media conglomerate is working on it. 8D

[Cassini90125]

The Feds are working on it as well. It's called the "I like paying taxes" project. ;D

[Kzinistzerg]

It's called Communism.

awww so cute I want one

[Invader Bloo]

I'm still waiting on a couple Bloo figures. One with no arms, one with arms.

[The bloo]

Bloo is awesome thats why he is my avatar

[LaBlooGirl]

I'm still waiting on a couple Bloo figures. One with no arms, one with arms.

Now there's a thought, is Bloo better with his arms or without? lol Personally, I find his little chubby arms adorable, but the way he can just tuck them in like that is equally adorable. (It's the whole security blanket thing again. lol)

[Nathander]

I prefer Bloo with arms, oddly enough. I just some of the motions he makes with them can be oddly cute.

[kageri]

Now there's a thought, is Bloo better with his arms or without? lol Personally, I find his little chubby arms adorable, but the way he can just tuck them in like that is equally adorable. (It's the whole security blanket thing again. lol)

I know! I <3 Bloo's stubby little appendages.

[xxelex]

i agree, he is a very special character to the show by far my favorite character ever and i can just hug him all day but... he would not let me8D

[Voxxyn]

I'd hug him anyway, because he's adorable and hilarious when upset. :)

[duck2k]

He can be really annoying, but I would hang out with him (if he let me)8D

[Jabberwocky]

I would so hang out with Bloo!

[One Radical Dude]

Who wouldn't? I would. :bloogrin

[Kzinistzerg]

I like his arms. They remind me of me, when i can't reach something. Being short, i often have that trouble, hehe..

[Jabberwocky]

Yeah me too. I can't even reach my cupboards. How tall is Bloo exactly? I think it said on his coco card.

I was talking to my grandma about foster's because she watches it a lot too. Bloo is her favorite but she says if he actually lived with her she'd want to kill him. XD

[Cassini90125]

Yeah me too. I can't even reach my cupboards. How tall is Bloo exactly? I think it said on his coco card.

Two feet zero inches tall, thirty-one pounds. 8-)

[Jabberwocky]

Then he's a little less than half of me... 8D

[Cassini90125]

What he lacks in height he more than makes up for with attitude. It works well for him, and for the show. :bloogrin

[Voxxyn]

Bloo has some of the best expressions ever. It's hard for me to not crack up when he's very happy or very sad.

[Cassini90125]

I think my favorite of his expressions is the one where he's surprised and has his mouth wide open. I've never seen a character's mouth stretch quite like his. :bloogrin

[duck2k]

Bloo has got the "attitude." I think that makes up for his size!

[Invader Bloo]

Bloo's eyes pop out!

http://www.fosters-home.com/screengrabs/2/211-0033.jpg


8D

Bloo's the best, his expressions are so great & he's basically the main comedy of Foster's, yes Cheese, Goo, Mac, Frankie, Wilt, Ed & Coco are alos very funny, but Bloo IS the basis of most of the comedy in the show.

[Nathander]

Oh, there's no denying that Bloo is the character here to make us laugh. In general, his main purpose in the series is to be Mac's "id" in a way, performing just about any of the acts Mac wouldn't be crazy enough to perform. These, of course, lead to some of the funniest moments in the series, and especially when it leads to one of Mac and Bloo's verbal arguments with each other.

I think, of all his moments though, my favorite moment with him (and possibly in the entire series) has to be when Frankie and Mac are "teaching" him about sarcasm.

Bloo: I would like a coooo-KIIIEE!
Mac:....Wait, are you being sarcastic?
Bloo: I am being huuunn-GRRYY!

The way he stressed the last part of each sentence, his facial expression as he did so, and his obvious obliviousness towards what he was doing was just sheer brilliance.

[LaBloo]

I Herad Bloo on "Challenge On The Superfriends" He said when Mac Met Imaginary Man Bloo said, "Why, Does he wanna Marry him?"

[Mr. Marshmallow]

You wanna know something kinda funny and yet kinda disturbing I realized about Bloo? I was watching a show one night and as I watched it, I realized something very surprising.

Bloo has alot in common with a character I didn't think anyine could relate to. Bloo fans shouldn't bash me for this because I honestly DO see alot of similarities, I think Bloo is very similar to this guy:

http://www.aquateencentral.com/images/characters/shake.jpg

I noticed that actually, I was thinking a while ago "Hey.... Bloo's kinda like a kid friendly Master Shake." Minus the violence, perhaps, but the self-centeredness and making of bizarre, illogical decisions is there. Also, they both like to watch TV a lot.

[Mr. Marshmallow]

I mean yeah, take away the swearing and the sex but you got basically a short, blue colored midget version of Master Shake. I mean think about it:

-They both care about pretty much themselves.
-They both make up stupid crap stories to prove their right.
-They're both pretty crummy "best friends".
-They both only care what's going on when it DIRECTLY involves them.
-And they both want "everything", even when they don't know what it is they want.

[LaBloo]

I Like Bloo. The Chracter and his feelings, it like gets me to the point.

[Invader Bloo]

Shake & Bloo are very alike. Plus they're usually the basis of the episode.

[Cassini90125]

At least Bloo never sold Meatwad to the circus. 8D They do seem to have a lot in common, although Master Shake is the more malicious and demented of the two.

I still think the ATHF crew are the Imaginary Friends of insane fast-food workers. :bloocross:

[Invader Bloo]

I'm prett sure Bloo wouldlike to do that to Cheese. I'm sure if cuss-words were allowed on regular CN Bloo would be saying them like Shake.

Bloo= Shake
Cheese= Meatwad, although Meatwad's smarter
Wilt= Frylock
Goofball & Bendy= Moonintes :bloogrin

[LaBloo]

I Like His Alter-Ego, The Azure Avenger!
like The Part where he takes the whole tablecloth.

[One Radical Dude]

I Like His Alter-Ego, The Azure Avenger!
like The Part where he takes the whole tablecloth.

He's got some strength there, being able to drag Ed with him. 8D. *does the superhero theme*

It's not the first time I've heard someone compare Bloo to ATHF's Master Shake. It's an interesting comparison there.

[Mr. Marshmallow]

I could totally see Cheese as Meatwad, although I also agree that Meatwad is smarter then Cheese, but that's not really saying much :bloocross:. But I honstly think Mac would fit Frylock better more so then Wilt.

Only because Mac has more of a reasonable head on his shoulders, where Wilt is too indecisive. I think Mac handles Bloo and the Foster's gang much like how Frylock tries to handle Shake and Meatwad (with similar results to boot).

The only big difference between Bloo and Shake is the of course the adult stuff and swearing and what not. But the funny thing is, much like Shake, Bloo's probably done more stupid and insensitive things then he has good things.

Shake of course has done ZERO good things but still.

[Invader Bloo]

Eh, yeah they both get p***** off at Bloo/Shake alot. Maybe I did Wilt/Frylock because their both red.:P

[Mr. Marshmallow]

You know, I bet Bloo would fit riiiiiiight in if he moved in with Shake, Frylock and the other ATHF guys.

Half the weird, demented, and down right wacky crap that goes on in that show, Bloo jokes about in "Foster's".

[LaBloo]

But He's Not Food!

[Invader Bloo]

He looks like Blue ice cream.

Meatwad: Hey this here looks like some blueberry ice cream
Frylock: Meatwad he's an imaginary friends! He'stold you 80 damn times today!
Meatwad: Whatever he still looks delicous
Bloo: Hey those fries hurt when you tear them off
Frylock: As a matter of fact y--OW!
Bloo: *PFFT* These fires suck!*Smashes fries in the ground*
Frylock: Great, Shake 2

YAY! Thanks to Cass Bloo was second for the vote-off!

[Cell_Phone_guy]

Here's something that I recently thought of. If Bloo liked having the Bloo clones around in "Bloo's brothers" and got a kick out of Goo's "improvements" on Bloo, this begs one question.

If in Mac Daddy, instead of Cheese, Mac had created an IF similar to Bloo, (I'm picturing Bloo, but yellow), how Bloo would react; would he behave differently towards that IF instead of how he took to CHeese?

[Crash-N-Cortex]

Bloo is a cool character. He's fun have around the Foster house. The one thing I don't like about Bloo is his jealousy. Bloo's jealousy can get him into a whole lot of trouble.

[LaBloo]

What I really like about him is that he can't do pranks andthe time he wanted to get into trouble so he can't have supper. What A Bloo Character!

[CARTOONNETWORKFAN92]

BLOO IS THE MOST COOLEST CHARACTER AT FOSTERS.

I <3 Bloo too. His thread is so much shorter than Wilt's.... and hasn't been posted in in a while either. There's gotta be some deep dark secrets under that stretchy blue exterior!

[Emma]

ZOMG, kageri!!1 XD

And you *know* Bloo's hiding something under that tiny grin and slightly effeminant voice!

[Crash-N-Cortex]

I like Bloo and all, but the only thing he needs to work on is his kindness.

[BluebottleFlyer]

The great thing about Bloo is that he's simply a walking contradiction. He's probably the most simplest looking of all the characters, but he's got a crazy, egotistical personality. Proof that you don't judge a book by its cover.:)

[Jabberwocky]

I like Bloo and all, but the only thing he needs to work on is his kindness.
Nooooo. That's a lot of what makes his character. I love jerk Bloo. He'd be annoying if he was nice and considerate.

The meaner he is, the more I like him. XD

[One Radical Dude]

I like Bloo and all, but the only thing he needs to work on is his kindness.

I can't agree with you there. Take away Bloo's mischievous side, and it's not the Blooregard Q. Kazoo that we know and love.

[Cassini90125]

It couldn't hurt for him to dial it back a notch, at least when he's dealing with Mac. After all, they're supposed to be best friends.

[duck2k]

It couldn't hurt for him to dial it back a notch, at least when he's dealing with Mac. After all, they're supposed to be best friends.

Bloo does need to slow his roll a little...8-)

[Ridureyu]

Bloo is the id of a child. he is the perfect example of this, and thus is a "realist'c" imaginary friend!

[One Radical Dude]

Yes, he most certainly is. That's why he acts the way he is. :blooevil:

[emperor26]

In spite of the changes within the show, I still like Bloo, and remained a Bloo fan to this day.

[LaBlooGirl]

It couldn't hurt for him to dial it back a notch, at least when he's dealing with Mac. After all, they're supposed to be best friends.

Agreed, agreed, well said, Cass.

See, I LOVE jerky Bloo....I learned to love that about him long ago because I understand him so much better as the show goes on.

But he DOES need to tone it down with Mac. Mac is his friend, and the very reason for his existence. Plus without Mac he really has nothing. So, he needs to respect his friend a little more. (Which he probably will, over time, as it's clear he has a lot to learn.)

[ChezaUsagi]

Bloo is my fav character! He is always so funny and even though he is arrogrant, I still find myself wishing he was real *huggles Bloo*

[Crash-N-Cortex]

Bloo is very cool, but he does need to lighten up a bit especially around his friends, so he won't get kicked out of the Foster home..

[BlooDaddy]

Bloo kicks butt!

[fostersfan666]

I would so hang out with Bloo!

So would I. He's cool! 8-)

[Cassini90125]

Bloo's so awesome! :bloogrin: 8D :bloosmirk: ::) 8-) :bloocross:

He does have his moments. :bloocross: I'd be hard-pressed to pick a favorite, though the ones coming to mind right now are the insane way he was laughing after trapping Cheese in the bathroom in Mac Daddy, and the shot of him and Berry from Berry Scary, the one where he looked absolutely bored and annoyed. Classic stuff. 8-)

[Voxxyn]

To me, the simple and childish things are the funniest things about Bloo: like when he and Herriman came up with an incredibly stupid song to smear-attack Frankie, or when he went at war with little Rivers over a 'funny face', or when he sold out his friends to Lil' Lincoln over a videogame only to lose the very next second. Stuff like Orlando Bloo, the dancing cactus and "Hot in Topeka" are great, but to be honest, they've become so overexposed(both by CN and other Foster's fans) that they've kinda lost their magic touch on me.

And I believe that there IS such a thing as going overboard with him, which is what I feel happened in Season 3 and parts of Season 4. Being a jerk is essential to his character, but making him an utterly-detestable jackass that gets no commeupance and giving no compensation to the characters that get hurt from his selfish actions -- that's a huge mistake. Especially with Mac, the poor kid. I definitely think they could tone him down a bit, at least when it comes to the person supposed to be his very best friend.

[CG]

I'd like to quote a piece I read on DA not two days ago:

is troubling is Bloo's character. Its totally degraded. I could be watching the wrong episodes of course, but Bloo used to be such a nice guy. Yeah he was a troublemaker, and a little clueless... but he was actually a good friend. Now it seems like all Bloo does is play practical jokes and think of himself. There isn't any more tight Bloo and Mac stuff... I realized the lack when I watched the first episode where Bloo asks him for a hug... He ASked Him For a HUG :weepy sappy teary eyed: I miss that Bloo. He also thanked people a lot more and felt sorry for stuff he did like the entire episode of Busted. He was completely apologetic in that episode, and I get the feeling that our current Bloo would have busted the bust and just let it lie there, or actually have let Wilt take the blame for it like he offered. That's the vibe I'm getting, and I'm kind of sorry about that.

Read the rest here (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/53475574/)

She brings up a good point there, and a few more in her essay but only that paragraph relates to Bloo's personality.

[Cuckoo]

I used to dislike Bloo, but recently I've had a change of heart about him.

I do realize that Bloo was a completely different IF in the pilot movie (as well as the first few episodes of season 1). I think the reason for his sudden change was because Craig wanted to create sort of a balance between the character personalities. When you think about the other characters, do any of them seem like the type that would WANT to make mischief and get into trouble? Without Bloo, the gang probably wouldn’t encounter so many problems, and therefore, Foster’s wouldn’t be all that interesting anymore. Most of the episodes are usually developed because of something (usually bad) that Bloo did. Craig probably wanted a character in the show that wasn’t just another goody-two-shoes (not that I'm referring everyone excluding Bloo himself to be one).

Even with Bloo’s big ego and sarcastic personality, he’s not ALWAYS bad. I found him quite funny in “Squeeze the Day,” and it was easy to see that Bloo would rather be with his friends than continue to be a celebrity in “Sweet Stench of Success.” The only episode that I really disliked him in was “Camp Keep a Good Mac Down.” So overall, I think he’s an okay character with flaws like any other.

But hey, that’s just my two cents.

Good point you brought up, Cuckoo. I never thought of that before.

[Voxxyn]

I feel the same way as Cuckoo. I hated Bloo when I first saw the show, but over time, I came to slowly understand the point and nature of his character, as well as the moments in which he does show heart("The Sweet Stench of Success" and more recently "Bloo's the Boss"). In any case, he's the central crucial character who drives the humor and causes most of the episode's storylines, so he's cool.

[Ub3rD4n]

Well I love Bloo. The first episode I ever saw that really hooked me was Camp Keep a Good Mac Down. So I've seen Bloo as being a jerk right off the bat. And he's so GOOD at it! As previously mentioned, I find his jerkiness charming.

Also, he's totally random and reckless. I love characters like that, because I can relate to Mac, having all that locked up inside, you gotta find a way to express it! Thus, Bloo. That's why, when I roleplay, I always do characters who are comparable to Bloo (not as a rip-off or anything. I was doing this before I knew Bloo EXISTED), and that's why Bloo is my second favourite character, soooo close to Wilt.

If Bloo WAS less of a jerk, he'd definitely be my favourite. But then Fosters would lose a whole ton of it's humour!

[LaBlooGirl]

I think Ed described Bloo well in the latest episode "Cheese A Go-Go". I'm sure you all know the scene I'm talking about. ;)

[kageri]

I think Ed described Bloo well in the latest episode "Cheese A Go-Go". I'm sure you all know the scene I'm talking about. ;)

That scene felt like a homage to all the fans who gripe about the characters being too mean or too serious or whatever. Even though I doubt it was, but still. I love the crew.

[Crash-N-Cortex]

One of the things that I know about Bloo from the show is that he's totally unpredictable. :bloogrin:

[Lynnie]

I loved Bloo from the start, although at first I found his voice kind of girly and, maybe a little creepy (no offence at all to Keith, because he's awesome!). It just had to grow on me, I suppose. Didn't take long to, though.

Now, Bloo is my reason for getting up in the morning. Ok, maybe that's an exaggeration, but he sure makes life better when I recite some of his best one-liners to myself. I know the Foster's gang intend for him to maintain a sense of innocence about his jerkyness, and in all honesty, I think they've done that really well. Sure, he can be a jerk sometimes, but if you try, you can see past it and find ways that maybe he is just trying to do something "good". He just doesn't do good things the same way most everyone else translates to be good. So it's like Bloo thinks on an entirely different dimension than everyone else. I think that's kind of cool, and needless to say, funnier than anything! 8D

[ptps]

I loved the pilot because it was awesome and heart-warming and sweet, but then the next episode totally threw me off. When I was introduced to Foster's it was on a Season 1 DVD package so I watched everything in one go, and it was... really disturbing... to see how Bloo went from sweet and lovable, best buddy IF to downright selfish, trouble-making, annoying and wild. IN ONE EPISODE. At that time I was really looking forward to seeing more of the friendship heart-warming thing that was set up in the pilot, and when I was done with Season 1 I just took Foster's to be a "meh" series and didn't bother watching any more.

And then I found "Mac Daddy". XD Which dragged me back in again and is the episode I always make my friends watch first.

I guess it's true, that Bloo in the end HAD to be a trouble-making wildcard to make the show interesting and as a contrast to all the other nice IFs. And I appreciate the show a lot more now watching them as they are rather than making constant comparisions to the Bloo in the pilot. I love the current Bloo, he's completely crazy. It just came as a really unpleasant shock to watch the pilot, fall in love with this sweet blue thing, and then have him act totally the opposite in the next episode. O_o;

The current Bloo does have his nice moments though; he isn't a complete jerk all the time. Coco Cards is one of my favorite "nice Bloo" episodes. Coco actually got him to apologize with sincerity XD And he was really sweet in the end of "Bloo's the Boss" even if he complained about not getting recognition afterwards. XD

I'm just glad the show is the way it is now. It's made me laugh loads. :D

[Sparky]

That's one of the reasons I'm glad the pilot *wasn't* the first thing I saw of the series. :bloogrin: Let's just say you guys wouldn't be here right now if it had been.

[Ub3rD4n]

So, I rewatched the pilot today, and something Madame Foster said struck me: "pure and simple" I beleive was part of her description of Bloo. I agree. He does bad stuff, but he kinda has a limited sense of right and wrong. He just does what he wants, which is what makes him so appealing, and probably why Mac made him in the first place. Just putting that out there. And I too, and glad I didn't first begin watching Fosters from the start. The pilot was kinda "meh" if you don't know what you're getting into, cause it has a lot to cover and is more dramatic than the episodes. And they were just developing their craft in season 1. I would still probably have liked it, but still, I'm glad I got to see Camp Keep A Good Mac Down. It hooked me.

[ptps]

Pilot!Madame Foster, to Bloo: "You're so pure, so simple; and above all: a true friend."

This was my second time re-watching the pilot, after I'd finished watching nearly all the seasons and up to Cheese a Go-Go. I snorted. Really hard. XD "Pure and simple" are barely the words I'd pick to describe Bloo right now. I mean, look at all the times he got the gang into trouble for his own selfish reasons. Look at the number of times he's quarelled with Mac to the extent where their friendship nearly fell apart. (Though Bloo and Mac always make it back up to each other by the end of the episode, so it's cool. :D ) I've yet to see him actually do something self-sacrificing, or standing up to someone else to defend them if it doesn't directly concern his own being.

But he has been a true friend on several occasions, even if it was after much persuasion and whining and complaining. And his good deed(s) in Bloo's the Boss. He's crazy and annoying and immature, but it's what makes Bloo Bloo, and I love his character for that. XD

[Lynnie]

I'm among those who didn't catch the show from the beginning, and in fact didn't catch the pilot (in the whole) until last years "Red, White, and Bloo" marathon. I got up at 6:30, on my day off, to be sure to catch it. :bloogrin:

After having seen it, I can understand the disappointment of those who had seen it first. Getting attached to the sweet and caring Bloo, who actually thanks the bratty little girl for saying he smells nice, and even apologises to Duchess for ruining her best chance at getting adopted. And then in the next episode he's suddenly self-centered, and it's like he's a totally different person...er... imaginary friend. And the attachment to the "pilot" Bloo was no longer valid, and a new attachment had to be established somehow to this new not-so-nice Bloo. I'm with Sparky, if I had seen the pilot before any of the other episodes, I doubt I'd be as big a fan as I am now. I think we're lucky we didn't see the pilot first thing. Am I right? :cheese:

The way it is having gotten attached to the "bad" Bloo first, I thought the pilot was your typical "first episode" where the crew is still trying to establish the characters personalities, as well as their voices, and still trying to figure out what works best. I found it interesting how so many things were different from how they are now. I like trying to catch the little quirks it takes to produce a successful show. It's fun. :bloosmirk:

[FeDeReR]

i Think Bloo is the best in that cartoon!

[LaBlooGirl]

It's already been discussed I think, but I always believed Bloo literally changed his personality because of the mental affect it had on him when he got separated from Mac. When he lived with him, I think he had to be more caring and sensitive to help support Mac when he was being bullied by Terrence. When he came to live at Foster's, he didn't have to do that 24/7 and so became more carefree, especially with being cared for by Frankie and Madame Foster. It's just my take on it. Also Bloo is incredibly naive and like a little sponge he is easily influenced and absorbs everthing around him. He has to learn lessons and it will take a long time for him to mature...a very long time.

[cartman414]

He also seems to be used to not facing, or at least being oblivious to, consequences for his actions.

ETA: By the way, does anyone have any idea of how Mac came up with the first name Blooregard, given that he created him when he was 3 years old?

[Sparky]

Speaking of that I'm a little unclear on if IFs come with their own names or if the kids name them. When Mac thought he had created Cheese, he said that Cheese "came with the name", after all.

[Cassini90125]

Good question. I think it's both. Terrence gave Red his name, and I'm guessing that Mac named Bloo, but others friends may come with a name or possibly even name themselves.

[Robert]

Ok, this is a little freaky because I was about to ask the same question. I think Bloo came up with "Blooregard" to make himself sound more important, like a kid would do. I don't know about the Q. Kazoo part.

[Sparky]

That's a good one. Maybe Mac just called Bloo "Blue" and Bloo twisted it into Blooregard Q. Kazoo on his own.

[Cell_Phone_guy]

I know I've been away for awhile, but I didn't have anything to contribute.

Here's something I just thought of: Who do you think is worse behaved: Bloo or Dennis the Menace. The idea just occured to me now. I'm kinda leaning towards Bloo... ::)

[Cassini90125]

I'd say Bloo, but he's funnier, too. 8D

[antgirl1]

Yeah, Dennis isn't intentionally misbehaving, it's just that whatever he does gets him into trouble.

Bloo, however, KNOWS what he is doing, and most of it is on purpose.

[cartman414]

Although even then Bloo doesn't do it with any intention of hurting or humiliating anyone, at least for the most part.

[Lynnie]

Interesting comparison- Bloo and Dennis.

Dennis is usually trying to help, but doesn't think everything through, and ends up being more of a pain than anything else. Bloo I think wants to help a lot of the time, too, but his ego gets in the way. So he comes across as a jerk instead.

Dennis is naive and ignorant about the goings-on of his friends, family, and his neighbors the Wilsons. Just like you'd expect a kid his age to be. That is, a very preoccupied kid with a constant flow of distractions and too many interests to count. Bloo I think is more observant than that, but wanting attention, pretends to be ignorant in the matter more than not.

Like I remember saying before, I think our dear goofy little friend Blooregard just thinks on a different dimension than everyone else, so he's easily misunderstood, both by the rest of the characters, and the also the viewers. Yeah, sometimes he's totally selfish and a big insensitive jerkface, but most of the time, I think he just doesn't know that what he's trying to do isn't going to work out the way he expects it to. His little blue brain just works differently, and he doesn't think on the same level as everyone else. Not to say he's impaired. Maybe it's the opposite. Blooregard might be a level or two above everyone else! Ha, there's a thought! :bloosmirk: Whereas Dennis is just a normal curious, imaginative, distracted little boy. Well, maybe a little more so than normal, but still.

As for who's worse behaved, hmmmmm..... Both Bloo and Dennis have done significant property damage. Also caused personal injuries. "Accidentally" stolen stuff. Has Dennis told fibs? He seems to be an honest boy if I remember the comic (and movie) correctly. Dennis isn't the type to want to be the center of attention and will cause all sorts of trouble to get it, either. In that case, maybe Bloo is worse behaved. Bad Bloo, Bad!! Ah, but we can't help but love you anyway! :blooevil:

[One Radical Dude]

I'd say Bloo is the bigger menace than Dennis, but Dennis can be a pain, also. :bloocross: At the end, however, Blooregard Q. Kazoo is still da man. 8-)

[kageri]

I don't know about the Q. Kazoo part.

If Bloo did indeed choose his name himself, he probably felt that awesomeness of his caliber can't be represented by only one name. He needs three, darn it! The middle one can just be an initial. Nobody will have to know it doesn't stand for anything.

[taranchula]

I wouldn't be at all surprised if that exact line of reasoning is used, if they ever decide to go ahead and do Bloo's origin story.

[LaBlooGirl]

All I know is, I LOVE his name. He better not go and change it if sometime in the future he has some kind of epiphany... LOL

[Xroc88]

Bloo can be funny at times but most of the time, i want to kick him like a football.

[LaBlooGirl]

Bloo can be funny at times but most of the time, i want to kick him like a football.

Yes, that's true. And yet there are times he's so adorable you want to snuggle him and squeeze him to death. XD

[Ridureyu]

I think that's the point of the show. Bloo oscillates between huggable and kickable, with no middle ground in sight.

[mac6000]

i luv bloo hes funny and cute and he looks sooooo adorable in clothes. i like bye,bye nerdy because bloo looks way 2 cute dressed up as a nerd. i have that 1 on tape. ive got 38 eps of fosters on tape. oh by the way im new here.

[Mr_Bloo_Veins]

What is there to say about this guy? He's Bloo, He's adorable, he's the best imaginary friend ever, nuff said.

[bloonuggets]

Bob Q. Kazoo. Man.

Nine to five. Nine to five.

Bringing home the bacon. :lol:

[NeverToo]

I just have a question that's all.

Does Bloo get punished when he does something bad I mean really bad or he goes of with a warning and then he's not in trouble any more.

So what I'm trying to say is I can't figure out which ones, so can y'all guys help me out here. Thanks alot. :bloowink:

Have a nice day.

I have moved this post to the "Bloo" thread because it most certainly did not belong in the "Mondo Coco" thread, and honestly I'm not at all sure why it was there to begin with. From now on would you kindly make your posts in the appropriate threads? :frankiemad:

[Mac-a-lacka]

The only time I can recall that Bloo actually got a warning was on "Crime after crime".:wiltshock:

[Prutnick]

Well, let's see. The ,,Busted" episode is all about breaking rules by Bloo. In ,,Setting a president", Mac says about Bloo violating some rules (during the debate). And in ,,Beat with a Shtick" everyone expects him to get beaten by that blue monster. But he's not really punished, AFAIK.

Bloo is a great cartoon character, the image of the show. But I wouldn't like to have him as a friend - he's way too selfish. I mean, all this chores Frankie has to do because of Bloo, that's just unfair.

[Mr. Herriman fan]

I like Bloo in "Squeeze the day"... he was so deperated. It was cuuute. :bloogrin:

[Ridureyu]

Bloo is essentially the id of a child allowed to roam free.

[blastjamyo]

I know he is so funny and cool.

[WestBunny:3]

I realised how strong Bloo is, not only as a character but with REAL power. In Emancipation Complication Bloo just comes out of the ground like a mole, and when we see the class closet, we see such a big hole in that wood floor. Also in the same episode at Foster's, not only does he throw away the closet door, but the entrance door too! :wiltshock: My first thoughts were like: oh well, that must be the power of videogame addiction ::) But my fears became true when I saw the Foster's comic Lucha Va BLoo at the misc section and how he was able to beat everyone.

I kept thinking, and then I saw how surprising Bloo can be, it's just he does only use his talent for his selfish crazy purposes. And I say talent,because it's incredible to see him do anything he wishes, like being the only one realising the truth behind the secret photo in the big picure, or his driving/sewing skills in Bus the two of us and Say it isn't sew. But those are just the ones I could remember.

[iluvBlooQKazoo]

Oooo Bloo's funny I absolutely love the little blue guy!:bloogrin::bloogrin:
