Bad to the Phone

[Shuvcat]

Hi all.
I'm sorry if I'm rehashing old news, but did anyone know about this short before Sunday? It aired at 7pm, I hadn't heard about it. (Then again, up until they started showing Foster's an hour earlier this week I hadn't seen any new eps for about a year. :P

I thought all the different phone messages were neat, and definitely something I'd put on my own machine, if I had them as sound files. Maybe I'll record it off the TV next time it's on.

Eduardo!!.... :-/

[Sparky]

SHUVCAT!!! ;D

Anyways...

Nope, news to me, but then I've still yet to see Ed Edd n' Eduardo or Neighbor Wash (not sure if those are the correct titles, too lazy to look them up). I just don't watch much CN outside of new Foster's eps, when I record them and therefore don't generally watch them when they air again because I have to watch them so many times to screencap them etc, lol. ;)

What was this short about exactly?

[Shuvcat]

Bloo is playing around with the new answering machine. He leaves a boring, generic message... and then, being Bloo, figures he can do better. First he leaves some silly messages ("The white zone is for loading and unloading only.") Then he enlists the other Friends to record messages. (Goo: "Leaveamessageifyouwanttoandyoureallyoughttobecause ifyoudidn'tleaveamessageit'dbeprettysillyandthere' sreallynoreasontocallandnotleaveamessagedon'tyouth ink??") Cut to a shot of poor Frankie in a parking lot somewhere quietly seething as she has to listen to all this stuff. Wilt, Ed, Coco all leave messages, and finally, when Bloo feels he has the Perfect Message on the outgoing line... Madame Foster plugs a hairdryer into a socket somewhere and shorts out the whole house, frying the machine in the process.

Poor guy. XD

First he leaves some silly messages ("The white zone is for loading and unloading only.")

If he said "The red zone is for loading and unloading only" alongside that, I will worship whoever wrote this short.

[Voxxyn]

Sounds pretty good, thanks for posting. :D I hope someone uploads this soon, because I don't really feel like staying tuned to CN hoping for it to just randomly air.

[InsaneFan]

8D OMG, I have to see this!

Haha, we used to have the awesomest answering machine messages...Until people kept saying "Uh...Hello? What?" or hanging up because our impressions were so good and they thought they called the wrong number. xD

Then Bloo gets mad and throws the phone across the room. "You stupid piece of junk!" XD

Holy cow, I remember we we're actually talking about how cool it would be to see a short like this on the old forum... and here's the link to prove that I am not crazy.

[Cassini90125]

The show is in reruns, and so are we! :D

[Imaginary Light]

This is news to me. I need to see this!

[One Radical Dude]

I think they showed this at the CN booth at Comic-Con, but I didn't really get to pay much attention to what was being said. I'd like to see this short in its entirety.

[Ricky Fieldmouse]

The Bloo clones were in this short, getting ready to sing the Ice Charade choir, but then it cut to another screen.:bloogrin

[Sparky]

I remembered that after I went to bed last night. :) We're awesome.

Precisely what I thought of when I read the summary. We rock so hard.

["C" the Dragon]

I'd like to hear Wilt's message!:D

[Carlaz]

LOL! 8D

[Kzinistzerg]

Man, he should have used the Answering Message From Hell from Zork, hehe...

["C" the Dragon]

I finally saw it! It's on Youtube.com, though.:P I like it when Wilt's legs got caught on the phone cord after three imaginary friends said one part of the sentence "Please leave a message" each!:D 8D

I also like:
Bloo belching
Bloo with a horn
Bloo and Edquardo's message
Bloo's football message
Bloo's reaction when the answering machine broke

That's all!:D

[One Radical Dude]

Thank you. I DID see this one at Comic-Con once, and to see it again was a treat. 8D

[creamz06]

I saw it on YouTube.... and I like these that happen:

Bloo does a weather forcast one [makes me think of the Weather Channel]
He does a: At the tone, the time will be.... [I heard this one on Art Of Hacking]
Please hold...
Wilt getting tangled up in the phone cord then falling over [I can almost tip over from doing something like that]

Makes me think of the two sites I end up going to: Art of Hacking and This Is A Recording because I see stuff that have operators saying something related to it... it's freaky!!

[taranchula]

I liked Bloo doing a message to the tune of the Foster's theme song, that and the 2 second reappearance of the Bloo clones.

Thank you Mr. M! I hadn't searched for it on You Tube.

[Mr. Marshmallow]

No prob. I didn't think I'd find anything on youtube but when I typed in Foster's short I got it in the search results and was all too eager to save it and watch it. I gotta say I liked it, it was funny and had a clever use of all the characters.

Hearing Bloo do all those wacky things and phrases was just great stuff, I only wish Frankie wasn't reduced that still frame like shot of her holding her face. Although I know i'd feel the same way if I had to listen to Bloo give messages.

YouTube files are flv (flash video) but you can convert them to AVI. Keep in mind the video quality is very low.

No problem!

[emperor26]

Interesting short so far, and probably the funniest.

[duck2k]

I just saw that short on YouTube. That was hilarious; I really enjoyed Bloo coming up with all these different message options, and poor Frankie waiting to leave a message.:frankiesmile:
