So, when I first saw this topic I left it alone cause I just COULDN'T DECIDE which were my top 10 Fosters episodes. And for some reason I decided to choose half-way through season 5. So these are subject to change. But some of these are so good it's practically impossible to remove from their formiddible slots. Now, everyone marvel at

Ub3rD4n's top 10!

10: I Only Have A Surprise For You

The part that really makes it for me with this episode is Bloo, and how he just managed to outsmart Mac so well. Not only does it prove that Bloo's no idiot, but it also shows how well he knows Mac. It would be far too much Mac "torture" for my tastes if Mac hadn't gone totally rambo on everyone. That way it wasn't totally one-sided, and let's face it, Mac must've been busting to do that to everyone else for AGES.

9: One False Movie:

Another (apparently) controversial choice, One False Movie had me cracking up nonstop the entire second half. Just putting the Foster's crew into grandiose and random situations, while parodying hack blockbuster films at the same time was just brilliant. Lauren's Explorin' was another awesome in-joke. On the whole, the only reason this one isn't higher up the list is that it relies heavily on shock gags, and repeated viewing is significantly less enjoyable.

8: Eddie Monster

The part I loved about this was the whole Extremasaur-fighting-circuit idea, I found that a cool addition to the Fosters universe (although focusing more than one episode on it would kinda defeat the point of Fosters, the Fostersverse is much richer for having it there). I also liked the central theme: that Eduardo was doing things that were very hard for him in more than one way, to earn some respect from his friends. Then there was the fact that Terrence had a big role, and I do think he's cool.

7: Challenge Of The Super Friends

Like Eddie Monster, the super-hero-imaginary-friend concept added to the Fostersverse, even though focusing more than one episode on it would have defeated the point. Imaginary Man and Nemisister were super-powered, but they were still (in their mindsets, super-powers and weaknesses) very much imaginary friends. Which is why this episode worked. Plus there were many multilayered parodies, especially Dark Uniscorn, who I ADORED. And Ed. Ed just watched.

6: Frankie My Dear

I'm not just adding this one cause I like Frankie! The whole plot was something that, if you described it, would sound hackneyed. But it wasn't. At all. The Prince and Chris were both awesome, the scenes about loving Frankie (love scenes are normally a cue for me to go get a snack) were very funny, and ORLANDO BLOO! I don't think anything else needs to be said.

5: Camp Keep A Good Mac Down

The episode that hooked me on Fosters. What can I say? Everyone gets a very hilarious spotlight (well, except Mac), Bloo was on the ball jerkwise, which as I have previously mentioned in other posts, suits me just fine. It was just full on awesome from start to finish. No one part stands out because it's consistently good.

4: Bus The Two Of Us

The very concept is amusing. Bloo STEALS a freakin' bus! Yeah. I like it when Bloo is a jerk. It hooked me when Bloo muttered the line: "Oh, why do you tempt me?" Also is, Wilt actin craaaazy, Alt-Mac and another Bloo clone, etc, etc, read, like, ALL the above posts.

3: Cuckoo For Coco Cards

Lots of shows have morals. But this episode instilled it so freakin' well it deserves some sort of reward. It all makes sense in retrospect. Coco didn't make Bloo cards to show that she was angry at him. She made his description so insulting so he would get the point. She made Bloo cards so ridiculously common so that there would be NO WAY HE COULD MISS THE POINT. Yet he did. And hilarity ensued. Eduardo made to prove himself again this episode, and what can I say, I'm a sucker for a good Eduardo plot. It's just another episode that worked indescribably well.

2: Room With A Feud

Again, this episode everyone got to do something awesome in order to get that room! Wilt especially, he was the star there. I just cracked up (a rare occurence for me in any show) when he said: " I thought about that and.....I really don't care.". It was madcap, fast-paced, and shared the spotlight with everyone so that someone was doing something awesome every second of it. I like to think that they got to keep that room (despite later evidence to the contrary) and that Wilt could once again sleep in a bed.

1: Infernal Slumber

Considering most of my previous picks, you must have seen this one coming. What can I say? Madcap pacing, awesome premise, funny, everyone got their screentime, and an appearance from Cheese that not only didn't annoy me to peices the first time I watched it, but I found hilarious (oh, so that's what it's like to be a Cheese fan, I thought). It's like the majority of my top 10 only moreso, hopped up on awesome-juice. Words cannot describe.

Ookay, so that's the top 10. Sure, it's not as insightful as Ditchy's, but when it comes to brainpower, I'm working on a budget.

Hey....maybe that should be my new tag.......
