Keith James Ferguson. Man of genius!

Indeed he is.

Doin't forget the storyboarders! That's what really cracked me up, Bloo's faces is the best part of "Bloo'd the Boss".8D

And let's not forget the writing staff, which all came to the obvious conclusion...
"Bloo + Puppets = Infinite amounts of hilarity." 8D

Just for fun (and for the sheer absurdity of the situation), they so should have given Purple and Sharkhead their own credit, when they were listing the cast for Bloo's the Boss.

Something like:

blooregard/purple/sharkhead/
father/policeman
KEITH FERGUSON

Does it bother anyone else that this episode basically shows how inept/uninformed the police force of this town appears to be regarding Imaginary Friends? I'm assuming that they believe Purple and Sharkhead themselves we're friends judging from what the family told them. This is despite the fact, of course, that Purple doesn't appear to breathe, have a pulse, or anything else that would suggest something was alive.

I know it was just a gag, but it really bugs me for some reason......

I think the "gag" aspect was the only reason the police acted like idiots here. Because as we have seen in "Store Wars" and "Bus the two of us", they don't always sit around looking like cardboard cut outs. They do enforce the law around the show.

The thing is knowing when to use it for story purposes, and when to use it for humor. The story part was needed for "Store Wars", and obviously the humor part was needed for "Bloo's the Boss". There's few things that are funnier then seeing 2 cops spend hours interrogating a puppet.

That reminds me of that scene in "Dude Where's my Car?", where the 2 cops torture the blow up doll instead of the main guys.

I loved those two! I actually seriously want a puppet like Purple now...

Go find an Elmo puppet, take of the nose & paint it Purple. ;)

Consider this:

You know how some people resent the way Bloo's personality seemed to change halfway through season 1?

Well, Purple is a lot like Bloo before, sweet and kind and afraid of breaking the rules.

Sharkhead is a hyperbolised version of Bloo now, as well as being pretty abusive to poor Purple.

Just putting it out there.
