Eduardo

A big loveable imaginary friend, Eduardo may seem like a big scary cat at first, but we all know he's a brave lion inside. As seen in the pilot Eduardo helps his friends many times even when he's scared. Eduardo is many times still a child inside as he loves watching "Lauren Is Exploring" and loves to learn new words, can you all say red? At first glance Eduardo may seem like a large spanish monster, but he's really just a big softy, we all want to hug. :-/

I've liked Eduardo since I first saw him in "Who Let The Dogs In?", way back in late March 2005. It's still one of my favorite episodes, which I burned to a special "Ed Disk" along with "Eddie Monster" and "Land Of The Flea". What's not to like about the big guy? He's sweet and gentle and really just a big teddy bear. Oh, I want an Eduardo plushie so bad! ;D

FostersFriend 08-16-2006 07:53 AM

You read my mind Cassie! I love that big hugable Eduardo. I want an Ed hug! :-[

TheLH 08-16-2006 10:54 AM

He's really strong, so he just HAS to have well-defined muscles under there.

Scribble 08-16-2006 10:55 AM

I was just talking to my mum about how cool an Ed plushie would be the other day! :D How huggable! Ed is a good example that outer appearances don't necessarily apply to the personality inside. And I can perfectly relate to Ed's obsession with stuffed animals and anything small and cute. XD

TraverseTown 08-16-2006 11:32 AM

Eduardo is my favorite character of the whole series! I hope they're are more Eduardo based episodes in the future. His cluelessness is the root of the character! Plus more funny quotes than Cheese! :)

ch3353-h4xx0rrrr 08-16-2006 12:58 PM

I love Eduardo. He has a great character and does indeed prove his bravery in scary situations (although sometimes not even he knows it ;D ).

bloonuggets 08-17-2006 06:33 PM

Come to think of it, in "The Big Cheese", why didn't he say "Senor Queso"?

I wish he would! That would be funny. ;) I bet they thought of it and tried it and for some reason felt it didn't work. I doubt very much they didn't even think of doing that.

TraverseTown 08-17-2006 07:40 PM

I almost died in The Big Cheese when Eduardo answers Coco with:

"No! This isn't what I'm wearing from the news show! Oh my goodness Coco, I would just die!"

I was on the floor, which I don't to often.

GrimTheLost 08-18-2006 06:32 PM

I liked when he rode the trike in "Bus the Two of Us".

He rode it in "Partying Is Such Sweet Sioree", too. It was adorable. :)

Kzinistzerg 08-18-2006 06:52 PM

he looks like my brother riding his bicycle when he does that. (my brother is 21, the bicycle is a 5-year-old sized one) It's so cute.

I wish I could see that.

Sparky 08-18-2006 07:47 PM

I'm actually wearing my Eduardo-on-a-tricycle t-shirt right now. :) And there's a pic of him on his trike in the Mac Daddy coloring book that will probably end up on my clipart page by the time I'm done.

kageri 08-18-2006 08:15 PM

Eduardo is adorable. It was cruel of those media people to film him naked and continue to do so until he cried. :[ And Goo's mean to him, too...

No idea. :P I know Ed does call Bloo -- "Azul" (literally meaning "blue" in Spanish) every now and then. Ed is amazing. He's definitely a very gentle character, despite the appearance. I also enjoyed some of the Eduardo episodes (including "Who Let the Dogs In?"). :-/

WHAT?! When and why did they do that?

Kzinistzerg 08-19-2006 01:41 PM

In the Big Cheese...

BlooCheese 08-20-2006 10:06 PM

Oh. I didn't get to see it.

LaBlooGirl 08-22-2006 10:53 AM

I was like "meh" when I first saw Ed, he was nothing special.
But he grew on me, which is amazing for a cartoon character (and proves how the show has such depth), and I love him now. Ed is a great I.F, I hope he does get to stay at Foster's though, as a permanent. He seems to belong there.

ALL of the main IFs (and humans, for that matter) seem to belong there because they've spent so much time as a "family", they're practically inseperable. I mean, think about it... it just wouldn't be the same to not have Frankie and Herriman getting on eachother's nerves, to not see Wilt helping out everyone and (almost parentally) guiding Eduardo, to not have Bloo rubbing in his own success, to not see Mac get on another sugar high again (hilarious!), or to not see Coco get extremely sassy.

It'd be like a Lite-Brite without colored pegs... sure it'd still exist but nobody'd want to see it.

Nyo 08-26-2006 07:56 AM

I'm kinda "Meh" when it comes to Ed. He annoys the crap outta me...no offense.

I said something somewhat similar to this effect on a thread at the old board, but once again, I agree. Not just because of the trademarks we love, but it seems the human characters(Mac being a nerd, Goo having no other friends, Madame Foster the kooky eccentric, Frankie's near-absolute isolation from the outside world) are just as much of "outcasts" as the IFs.

Ed is great. Yes, he is annoying... but he is a GOOD annoying to me, the kind that is adorable instead of tedious or malicious.

Cassini90125 08-26-2006 12:36 PM

I want to adopt the big guy, bring him home, stuff him full of potatoes, read him a bedtime story, and watch him smile a big contented smile. :)

billytheskink 08-26-2006 05:57 PM

he's left-handed, or at least throws with his left hand.

pitbulllady 08-30-2006 04:38 AM

I would hate to think of what Ed would think of me if he only knew of MY hobbies! And to think that he thought WILT was "more loco than Crazy Larry", LOL! One look at my DA gallery would scar Eduardo for life!

pitbulllady

lucyrocks73 08-30-2006 05:54 AM

Ed annoyed the crap out of me at first. It wasn't until a few episodes in that I really loved his character...

Eduardo rocks, in that punk-but-not-in-the-way-you-think-'cause-he's-scared-all-the-time way. He's cute... :-[

Haha I've seen your DA gallery! Eduardo just wouldn't be the same after seeing all those arachnids...

Mr. Marshmallow 08-30-2006 01:53 PM

Eduardo's great, he's such a throwback to those old storybooks of monsters and yet he's got the ferocity of Jigglypuff. I think the neatest thing about Ed is not that he's so nice opposing his obvious scary appearance.

But how he proves to be as equally weird as Bloo does. The potatoes thing obviously comes to mind, although I'm starting to think that's not as weird as that BIZARRE obsession he had with the matress sale in "Bus the two of us".

IT'S FOR ONE DAY ONLY!

That was hystertical, it was totally out of left wing and it was nice to see Eduardo enter the complete insanity vibe for a change.

Kzinistzerg 08-30-2006 07:32 PM

Yeah... Eduardo on a trike is another one of those hilarious things...

CG 09-08-2006 02:23 PM

Uh oh, hold onto your hats. Here comes CG to talk about Eduardo. [ahem]

Eduardo really is a big sweetie.

I've never seen him openly hate someone, or something. Sure he gets angry and pouty, as most children do, but I've never seen him out right dislike someone/something and stay like that with no intention of changing his feelings later. Except for maybe spiders.

His innocence is what drew me to him, really. While Wilt is world worn and apologetic, Bloo is obnoxious and self centred, and Coco is just a crazy larakin; Eduardo (despite his obvious age) still has the mind of a five year old. Everything still seems new to him even after all this time. He takes great joy from the smallest of things, for example his Beanie Baggies. Also how enrapt he got because of a mattress sale was another example. Agerage people would think nothing of it, but for Eduardo the prospect of buying himself something that normally costs so much for so little was a big event for him.

He values his friendships too, because even if some situations have out right terrified him from time to time (big example being the Pilot), he still follows after them and sticks by through the tough times. Especially the tough times, as evident when his Guardian nature overthrows his ?cowardice? and he becomes a raging bull. Even over something as tiny as a spider for a little girl he hardly knew. That was sweet, even if he did over do it; but it?s evident his fear of spiders is one of the worst. Man. Hate to imagine him being around that Daddy Long Legs like friend we saw Mac standing on in ?The Big Cheese?.

Yes Eduardo is scared of many things, but there has to be a really good reason as to why he takes great fear from every day things. One of my theories is that he witnessed something truly terrifying (be it at his own hands or someone else?s) and it showed him just how dangerous things can be. He?s cautious also at the same time as scared. He?s borderline, I suppose. Maybe he?s partially scared of himself, when he does become the fearsome Guardian and he treads carefully in fears of something sparking his anger and unleashing his power. I mean he?s obviously tough; he was pulling the legs off that Extremeasaur in the pilot, and also capable of lifting a bus with little effort. He could do some real damage to anything (the house obviously since he?s been capable of running through walls when fuelled right), and I think he knows that. So he'd rather be cautious and let things scare him into running away then face things head on and be a big meanie.

As much as Wilt has a more interesting backstory to be found out, I am still loooking forward to the small moment in 'Good Wilt Hunting' when we are rumored to meet up with Eduardo's creator. His creator is thought to be a girl, given Eduardo's love of fairly girly things despite being in all things, a boy. This big, burly, sharp toothed and sharp horned Guardian likes collecting toys, is terrified of creepy crawlies, likes pink, and is just generally going against his self image. I can't wait to see her. I can't wait to see who brought this great Spanglish (lol) speaking Imaginary to life and why she did give him up. Was he too much of a handful? Did she outgrow the need for a Guardian? Questions in need of answering. And I hope we do get at least some answered. I don't need all of them, just a few.

But here's my small rant : Eduardo episode for the next season please. That's what was missing from this season. For me, Eduardo centric episodes are sometimes the sweetest ones out there. Who let the Dogs In, Eddie Monster, Land of the Flea... heck, even if Squeakerboxxx wasn't really 'his' episode his moments were so gosh darned adoreable how could anyone hate him? Putting so much love into one squeaking elephant toy and treating it as it was a baby? Gaahhh... colour me tickled pink. Pun intended.

So yes. Please give Eduardo his much deserved episode in Season Five.

Thats all.

:-/

Cassini90125 09-08-2006 04:39 PM

Well said indeed. :)

Matchsticks 09-08-2006 07:38 PM

...CG, you said it the best.

I get a smile on my face whenever Ed appears on screen. He is a fresh breath of innocence that people need in a cartoon, without the character being annoying. I have seen many cartoons try and pull of a sweet and innocent character but when push comes to shove the character is annoying but Ed is far from that.

CG 10-10-2006 05:18 PM

Let me just say how sad I am at how quiet Eduardo's thread is. Even Cheese has more posts! And Eduardo's showed up more them him!

For shame.

Either way I just wanted to say also, I'm so happy seeing Eduardo has now got TWO shirts to his name. Good on Eduardo for his merchandisable skulls at Hot Topic. :P It's a combination of horay and eeuuw since they're doing a lot with his skulls. But it is HT, they have a slight tendancy to be on the darker side of things.

bigdog 10-11-2006 04:29 AM

Edguardo is awesome. Edguardo can be funny, sweet, stupid, and angry and I'll still love him. I've never had a big brother but if I did I would want it to be the big purple spanglish monster. :-/

Invader Bloo 10-14-2006 08:23 AM

Ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,stingy,stingy,sting! Best ED scene ever! Even better than the potato advertisement or the capital of Pittsburgh (My home town) being Potatoes or the "I don't like this guy". Which are some of my fave qoutes.

Kzinistzerg 10-14-2006 09:54 AM

What was that from? it seems familliar But I don't recall.

That would be from when Ed was taking his shower in "The Big Cheese", right before, Senior Queso so rudely interrupted it.
