Well technically 'sadistic' and 'cruel' are both the same thing, so all of the above. ;) Anyway, yeah, that episode was just...wrong, and sick on so many levels. I saw a rerun of it tonight and I felt my gut twisting once again at the sight of Goofball. I love Tom Kenny and his voice work on Spongebob, but Goofball's voice was just GRATING.

You're right; Frankie was quick to judge him, but I think any of us would have reacted the same way to an identical image of a teenage boy wearing a clown's nose and a polka dotted tie. I probably would have yanked on his nose right from the beginning to prove my point and save myself an entire evening of torture. Poor Frankie. Never in my life had I ever felt so bad for her. I keep wondering why Foster's won't hire anybody else to lend her a hand. It's physically impossible to do everything Frankie does in one day, specially in a mansion as big as Foster's. She'll wear herself out before she even reaches her 30's.

Frankie wasn't too quick to judge. He looked like a teenage boy with a red nose and a "crazy tie", and he sounded so unsure and had to rely on Frankie's sayings. Made ME mad. I don't like the impact Goofball had on Bloo, either.

GOOFBALL: PROMOTING LAZINESS, LYING, SELF DEFAMATION, AND HATRED IN TWO COUNTRIES.

That would make an excellent caption for his "Wanted" poster. :)

Urgh. I saw that episode last night (well, this morning, it was on at 1) and he gives canadians a bad name. I like canadians, and they don't sound like him. Though they do have funny accents.

Goofball definitely didn't look like an IF, but the same can be said for Prince Charming (an Imaginary Man). :P Hey, "Goof Goof McGoof" looked more like an IF than Goofball McGee did. 8D

Actually, apart from Goofball being one of the most irritating characters ever, that was another thing that really annoyed me during the episode. I found the whole episode was just... so annoying! I just wanted Frankie to pull that damn red nose off!!! >.<

Now, I'm no fan of him. He was quite obnoxious and the writers left a hole in his backstory that was almost as annoying as he was (why would an imaginary friend who is a football mascot have homework?).

However, his conversation with Frankie about phones in Canada was hilarious.

I'm a Frankie fan, you know that, and you probably already can guess how I feel towards Goofball.

It's very simple...

I don't hate him.....I loathe him. I despise, detest, disgust, and dynamically dislike him to a definition that knows no bounds!

Sorry, I think that just needed to be said.

I've said that, but it bears repeating. :)

LONG OVERDUE EDIT: I deleted the original post because, quite frankly, it was a very coldhearted and stupid thing for me to say, and I hope you can forgive me for it. I wrote and posted solely out of pure anger upon seeing the name on the topic listing, and simply forgot about it until recently. I would never truly do something like that, and I apologize. Goofball's family seem like OK people.

In fact, upon recently rewatching "Imposter's Home" after many months of bashing it... I must say that it isn't THAT bad. I admit it, I've become so fixated with Goofball being a blatant moocher and Frankie missing her concert, that I forgot that it actually has somewhat of a happy ending. It was just nice to see Frankie NOT taking things personally, and instead doing her best to smile along and be a good sport about it. And she looks adorable with that clown nose.

I still hate Goofball, though. :(
