Terrence

[Cassini90125]

It just occurred to me that no one's restarted the thread for Mac's beloved older brother. :P

I like Terrence. Sure, he's a bully and a jerk, but it's hard to hate anyone that stupid. Besides, he can't be all that bad; after all, he did create Red. ;D

[Voxxyn]

Compared to some of the other antagonist characters, Terrance is quite tolerable. And he's really funny too.

[lucyrocks73]

Terrence cracks me up, and I have to say that he is one of my fave characters. And this is from someone who pretty much... well, treated him like crap in fanfics...

He's got that idiotic bully thing, yet he's humorous.

He reminds me a lot of Francis on FOP, except I think that all the Francis jokes are kind of stupid, and Terrence cracks me up.

If there's a character that should be on the show more, it's Terrence.

[Fomalhaut]

Terrence is my absolute fave forever. Can't let him go. :)

[ch3353-h4xx0rrrr]

Terrence = Super Cool.

I have his plad shirt. Well, kinda. It's more fit for a female figure, if ya know what I mean, but it's basically Terrence's plad shirt. :D

[Sparky]

I still gotta make that Terrence rag doll... ;)

[Imaginary Light]

Terrence is hilarious. Yeah, he's a jerk. But he's a funny jerk. A funny, stupid jerk:P

[Cassini90125]

I still gotta make that Terrence rag doll... ;)

I'd love to see something like that. :)

[Mac]

I've only seen one episode with him in it and I didn't exactly take to him. I guess I have to see more. I actually had no idea he was Mac's brother until I read a few posts on the old forum.

[One Radical Dude]

I'm kinda "meh" on Terrence, but I did enjoy some of the more recent appearances from him. :)

[billytheskink]

He's an entertaining antagonist, when used correctly (as he usually is).

The writters have it right not making him an every episode character, I think. You can't create too much conflict on the show.

[Sparky]

Agreed. Favorite character or not, I'm glad he's not in too many episodes.

[TraverseTown]

Terrence had me in "Duchess of Wails". That was just pure laughs!...Wait, what?

[Kzinistzerg]

I thought he was great in... uh... Berry Scary (That's the one with the tv show everyone was watching in the beginning, right?)

[InsaneFan]

XD Yes. "Uh, I was channel stuck!"

[scary_dream]

Terrence had me in "Duchess of Wails". That was just pure laughs!...Wait, what?

I know!! Hearing him tease Mac about moving to "Zingapore, Wisconsin" was hilarious!

[Kzinistzerg]

Yeah, his stupidity is a great part of any episode he's in. Trust me, it's worse when they're smart, though.

[Nathander]

Terrence had me in "Duchess of Wails". That was just pure laughs!...Wait, what?

Terrance starting off the whole "Two Towers" reference that ran for (if I remember correctly) nearly the rest of the episode was brilliance.

As for Terrence himself, I love him. He's not one of my favorite characters, but I've always had this sort of soft-spot for him. I still think his shining moment was his interactions in "Infernal Slumber", if just for the fact that he lifts six people (including Eduardo) off of him. I mean, I know he's a seemingly atheletic kid, but daaang.....

I think that was just addrenalene.

[Kzinistzerg]

... But... Eduardo, too? Eduardo is HUGE. Eduardo can lift the fosters bus and wave it around like a flag.

How exactly does terrence do that?

[Sparky]

Well at least Terrence has SOME sort of talent or skill! I was pretty sure the show would never give him any sort of credit. Not that the show will probably ever mention it again but still. :terrsmile:

[Nathander]

... But... Eduardo, too? Eduardo is HUGE. Eduardo can lift the fosters bus and wave it around like a flag.

Exactly. I mean, I know it was just a sight gag and all, but something about that scene just still made me go WHOA! That would have to be some adrenaline rush, is all I'm saying........

[pitbulllady]

There have been verified reports of people lifting HORSES in moments of immense adrenalin rushes, to remove them from burning stables. Horses are notoriously dumb when it comes to fire and getting one out of a blazing structure, unhurt, can be a real challenge. A full-grown horse usually weighs at least half a ton. Not too many years ago, a man in the town where I work came upon the scene of a recent highway accident, in which a woman had been thrown from her large SUV and it had rolled over on her, pinning her. Eyewitnesses said that this man ran up and actually lifted the SUV off of the woman's body and rolled it back upright, singlehandedly! He is not a body builder or anything, just an ordinary middle-aged guy. Sadly, his efforts were in vain, as the woman had already died, but it was incredible what he did, thanks to that little stress hormone.

There is a lot of evidence that Terrence is a very athletic kid, though, and I keep hoping we will get to see more of this, in a more positive way. He's got football and baseball equipment in his room, and there's that photo in the living room of him up at bat. I get the impression, though, that Terrence probably does not play sports anymore, and most likely his mom's schedule has a lot to do with it. He has no one to go to games or to support him in such efforts, so why bother? He's wasting the one big talent he DOES have because of that.

[X-Cheese-fangirl-x]

Terrance is a good character, and he is voiced by the famous Tara Strong. He cracks me up.

[DGenerationX]

Terrance.....still don't get him

[heartless95]

He`s not my favorite human but he`s ok.To me he`s basically kinda...blah

[Jabberwocky]

I'd like Terrence if he weren't so weird looking. Mean doofus characters are fun. He reminds me of Sid from Toy Story. "That happy child??" Haha.

[mistermoze]

Terrence is not the brightest crayon in the box, but Red was his best invention (?) ever!

[Cassini90125]

Alas for the pizza friend and his unfulfilled potential... :'(

[Kzinistzerg]

Yes, that was sad. By the way, it is canbalism if you eat an imaginary friend?

mistermoze, your avatar rocks.

[Nathander]

You know, I remember the canabilism question being raised before, and that really disturbs me because I honestly don't know how to answer. I mean, how would he have been treated if someone caught him? Would people not care and let it pass, seeing as how it "was just an IF", or could he have actually faced some penalty for it? While I'm sure we'll never really get it, I would like it if they'd clarify the rights of IFs in the show, though from what we can tell they don't seem to have very many.

And for what it's worth, I think I need to mention that Terrence at the pizza friend out of pure hunger and reaction, not any actual malice. He still took a life, but...........yeah, I can't really think of any defense. :(

[Cassini90125]

Cannibalism is the consumption of one's own species. Terrence ate an IF, not a human, so he's not a cannibal. Just a killer. :P

[Nathander]

Eh, true. Curse my occasionally poor grasp of grammar. 8D

[koosie]

You know my older brother looked exactly like Terrance in the late 80s, I must dig up some pictures without him finding out.

Sorry ladies, he's already taken !

[LaBloo]

Do YouKnow He's Played By A Girl?

[One Radical Dude]

Do YouKnow He's Played By A Girl?

I believe the majority of people in here knew that. Tara Strong is quite the talent there.

[Howard]

I believe the majority of people in here knew that. Tara Strong is quite the talent there.

She also is the voice talent for Princess Clara and Toot Braunstein in Drawn Together.:frankiesmile:

[Invader Bloo]

...& Timmy Turner.
Eh, Terrence was hungry. It was pizza. The pizza looked good. Terrence ate it. It tasted good. End of story.

I mean we eat cows, pigs, chicken & whatever else is in hot dogs unless your'e a vegetarian. They have feelings.

True. But the fact that said pizza was alive and screaming in pain at the time of consumption makes it profoundly more disturbing.

[Nyo]

I'm kinda "meh" on Terrence.


ORD you just read my mind. :slybendy:

[MacAttack140]

Terrence is there when u need a little "brotherly love"..... he's a very funny character who's not afraid 2 speak his mind *silence*(lol!) Im serious about him being funny and he might be mean, but ya still luv 'em! :terrsmile: My favorite episode w/ him is Seeing Red ;D



Holy Haberdashery Imaginary Man! :)

[Ub3rD4n]

Wow, I'm surprised noone else has posted much on Terrence's strong points.

For one, he created Red. In much the same way that Mac made Bloo to represent the repressed selfichness and irrationality inside him (A popular theory I subscribe to), I think Terrence made Red to represent the feminine side Terrence is ashamed of (I'm trying to watch my stories-uhhhhh....I gotta go hit something!").

Also, I never saw the pilot 'till after getting hooked on Fosters, so before I did, I thought he was just a dumb jerk, but in the pilot, one instance intrigued me. It was when Mac's awesome plan was being played out to destroy the Extremeasaur, and Duchess's and Terrence's plan was falling down around their ears. Duchess says "Don't just stand there, do something!", to which Terrence replies "Shut up! I'm watching this!". This shows, to me, that he's more interested in seeing cool stuff than being a jerk to Mac, so there's hope for him.

I kinda (futilely) hope that Terrence renounces his evil ways and joins the group in the same way as Goo. His stupidity and differing tastes from the Fosters Five would still make him generate enough plot to stop him being superfluous in this situation. I just think It's be cool, probably 'cause Terrence's tastes in cool stuff and his dislike of some of the more childish stuff makes him more relatable to me.

After all, Extremasaur fighting circut? Awesome! If you could work around the cruelty expressed there.

[Aly23]

I have never really thought of Terrence before. I do think he is hilarious though. Yes he's mean to Mac and Bloo but its his stupidness that makes him loveable.

[Lynnie]

Another Bump! :D (sorry, is that ok?)

Coincidently, not long ago there was a post about an email recieved from a "Frankie Foster", which sadly was no more than just spam. Well, yesterday (or, two days ago, now), I checked my mail, and look what I found-

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/untitled.jpg

I know his name isn't spelt right, but combined with that last name, well, it just makes me wonder... Spammers are somehow taking note of what we type in search enguines, you think? I still thought it was kind of funny. :terrsmile:

Wouldn't surprise me in the least; prior to becoming a Foster's fan, I got two spam emails from someone calling herself Daphne Blake. 8D

[Medikor]

Terrance isn't my favorite character by any means but I do like him when he shows up. I think they did it right by not having him in in the show too much because, unless they can think up some new twists for him, he'd get kind of old pretty quickly.

[Ridureyu]

Wouldn't surprise me in the least; prior to becoming a Foster's fan, I got two spam emails from someone calling herself Daphne Blake. 8D

I keep getting e-mails with my boss's name attached that are trying to sell me viagra, "cheap new watches," or home insurance.

[Sparky]

Okay you guys, am I the only one wondering if there may actually be some sort of explaination that will come up in a later ep explaining Terrence's total absence thus far from Season 5? Wasn't Infernal Slumber his last ep? I don't think he's even been mentioned aside from when Mac was wanting to buy his Rocket Wars figures back in The Buck Swaps Here (and that wasn't a reference to anything recent anyways), but correct me if I'm wrong.

Maybe Terrence has actually been so occupied with something that he either hasn't been interacting with Mac (so there's simply no reason to show him in an episode), or he actually hasn't been home. Maybe he went to stay with his dad or something. If so, is Mac's turn to go visit his dad coming up? If so, what will happen to Bloo? I guess they wouldn't actually do anything like that in the show unless it were another movie, and its too soon for there to be another movie...Well I was just thinking, and wondering where the hell my favorite character has gone to. :terrsmile: I thought it may have actually been intentional on the part of the writers for him to be absent for so long. Or maybe that's just what I'm hoping. :P

[The Huntsman]

I wish I knew. The Foster’s Crew have proven to have a lot of talent when it comes to making these episodes, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they have something involving Terrence up their sleeves. I’ve missed a lot of episodes, as I’ve said frequently, but I liked Terrence and I’m hoping your theories are correct. At the very least, here’s hoping that Terrence makes a return to the series before too much longer.

:terrsmile:

[Zeitgheist]

Mac is my favorite character, but Terrence isn't far behind :D

I love his clothes and his crooked teeth... but I don't know if I like how he falls into the stereotypic mean older brother cathegory. But then again, I wouldn't have him any other way

I laughed so hard when he just killed that pizza slice. I think it's the most brutal and cruel thing I've ever seen in a cartoon. But that scream it produces, it just makes it so hilarious XD

[Sparky]

It was the moment that made me a fan. :bendy:

[CartoonNetworkFan]

I think i'm the only one who likes him not. He is just a lilly-lilly gutless doorbag, like Eddy would say! :bendy:

[Mac-a-lacka]

I noticed that Terrence wasn't in season 5 at all nor season 6 so far:terrence:

[jekylljuice]

I noticed that Terrence wasn't in season 5 at all nor season 6 so far:terrence:

Yeah, a lot of us are a bit upset about that. Hopefully its something that they'll remedy before the series is up. IMO, Terrence has been one of the most consistently funny characters that Foster's has had to offer. I think he deserves better than just to fizzle out.

[Mac-a-lacka]

I think he deserves better than just to fizzle out.

Terrence isn't my biggest favorite.:terrence::P
But, I agree with you.

[Cassini90125]

I have no doubt he'll be back before the final credits roll. Not that CN will show us the final credits until maybe a week later, but he'll be back. :terrsmile:

[iluvBlooQKazoo]

I don't know if anyone's done this one yet or not because I'm still getting use to this site, but I was woundering why Terrence is a jerk. I mean he probley wasn't always like this, right? Oooo maybe it had something to do with his father. What do y'all think? :)

[Cassini90125]

I merged your thread with this one because we already have a thread about Terrence, Nothing personal, mind you. ;)

As I recall there's been a lot of speculation about that question on the old Forum but no definitive answer. It could have something to do with his absent father and his parent's divorce, or he might just be a jerk. I doubt we'll get much more information from the show but you never know.

[iluvBlooQKazoo]

Yeah I kinda figured there might've been one about Terrence I just wasn't sure. I'm still getting used to things around here.

Peace and Love: J.M Manucy aka iluvBlooQKazoo

[taranchula]

IMHO I've always been a subscriber to the theory that there isn't some kind of deep rooted reason as to why Terrence acts the way he does.

The kind of antagonistic behavior on display on the show is just a common thing that often occurs amongst older and younger siblings, regardless of the situation at home. (Of course being a Cartoon and all, what happens on Foster's is ramped up greatly for full comedic/dramatic effect.)

Sibling rivalry is just as common in a two parent household as it is in a single parent household. (I am sure many people, will be able to back up that assertion.)

[iluvBlooQKazoo]

Yeah there must be a lot of logical reasons as to why Terrence is a bitter and jerky brother, but we may never know until Craig (not sure if I spelled his name right) tell us til then all we can do is guess. You're right about sibling rivaltys 'cause thats the main things almost all siblings do, I say almost because me and my younger brother are as close as anything. :cheese: But my other little brother hates me and everyone else I don't know why.

Peace and Love: J.M Manucy aka iluvBlooQKazoo

[WestBunny:3]

I just love those photos of Mac and Terrence in Infernal Slumber! Terrence seems to have changed since then...:terrconf:

[iluvBlooQKazoo]

So do I, I think both Terrence and Mac were so very adorable when they were younger.

Peace and Love: J.M Manucy aka iluvBlooQKazoo

[alvarez]

I think Terrence has improved a bit since the pilot. He's kind of, still a bully and a jerk but not so bad. Like, in "Eddie Monster" he asked Mac what was up with him and spoke with him quite civilly, and he hasn't really bullied him THAT much in other episodes, so maybe him and Mac got better with each other once Bloo left. People say Terrence is one of the reasons Mac created Bloo, but maybe Bloo was one of the reasons Terrence became a jerk. Jealousy and all.

Personally, I wish there were some episodes were Terrence and Mac would get on, but that's just cos I love 'em both!

[Lynnie]

I saw this (http://cgi.ebay.com/Terrance-Fosters-Home-iron-on-transfer_W0QQitemZ8286762896QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_ DefaultDomain_0?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116) on eBay today. Not very often we see something with just Terrence on it, I thought it was pretty cool. :terrsmile:

They did however misspell his name. :P

[Sparky]

Yeah I've seen that, but it's hardly official merchandise. :P

I need to make myself a Terrence t-shirt or something. At least that doll I've been saying I'd make for years now.

[Cassini90125]

Looks like Terrence is the only Foster's character the seller has. No sign of Bloo or Cheese anywhere. Nice change of pace. :terrsmile:

[Nyo]

It really does suck that you don't see Terrence a whole lot these days - I wonder why! He's really funny and has potential for a decent backstory :)

[WestBunny:3]

I agree, he has still lots of potential as a character, though now it seems difficult to see some Terrence since the series is complete and there are only few episodes that haven't been released. But I'm still waiting for Mrs. Mother of Mac to make some cameo, since the truth has to be discovered some day, right? ;)


Fanfiction is always there, I guess. Go Terrence! :terrsmile:

[TerrenceLover]

I really don't know why many people hates this boy. I personally think he's the best human character in the show.
And he's really funny...I love the scene where he imagine the imaginary pizza and he eat it! :terrsmile: :blooxd: 8D

[Cell_Phone_guy]

I wonder if Terrence had anything to do with Cheese being in Mac's bed at the beginning of Mac Daddy. I wonder if the night before, Terrence saw Cheese wandering outside the apartment and thought the idea of Mac having a second IF would destroy his relationship with Bloo so he brought Cheese inside and placed him in Mac's bed while Mac was asleep.

Or is Terrence that smart?

[Sparky]

I don't think he's that smart, however he may have been the one to leave the door open long enough for Cheese to walk in.

[Another Castle]

Interesting theory, maybe he just put Cheese in there for a laugh.

I can imagine he would get irritated by him after a while tho.

[carlito_cool]

I had used to like Terrnece but in my mind, he's not cool. :terrence:

[KazooBloo]

Terrence is a jerk. :(
