Those were very funny parts, though Bloonan the Blobarian is more of a parody of Conan the Barbarian than Dave, I'd say. Dave the Barbarian is pretty much a tounge-in-cheek shot at Conan as well.
Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in the 1982 Conan the Barbarian movie, so Bloo's Arnold-speak toward the end is probably a send up of that.
Overall, I enjoyed the episode, though the bizarre plot didn't have me engrossed like I thought it could have.
Mac and Goo trying to top each other's pretend weaponry was pretty darn funny; I did the same thing with friends when I was a kid.
I agree with those who say that Goo was well used. It was a plot that suited her well. However, it also reminds me why I don't really want to see her in every episode. I was a bit tired of seeing her by the end.
All in all, another solid effort by the Foster's crew.
I gave the episode a B. I figure that's fair for a good-not-great episode.
