I think I can officially say now that it's "old news" and has had its chance to sink it, that this one isn't one of my favorites. Mac being absent is only one reason. It could have been written better I suppose, and could have been a lot funnier. The pranks are still fun though, so was Bloo's caffeine high, and that ending is still full of win.

The Mr. Herriman costume was not only predictable within a few seconds, but I found it out of character. I mean, they may be stupid, but Fritt and Fratt were really innocent during the whole thing. Bloo's the one who took advantage of them and set them up. I just can't picture Wilt, Coco and Ed tying them up, gagging them, and forcing them to wear that costume and stand there stiff as a board for however long it took for Bloo to clean the entire hotel. The two laughed about it in the end I guess, but I just can't picture Wilt, Coco and Ed doing that to innocent friends.

Coco, yes. She'd totally do that. After all, she has suggested both killing Peanut Butter in "Room With a Feud" and beating Mr. Herriman with a baseball bat in "Let Your Hare Down", so it's been established that Coco has a "dark side". I think we can safely say that WILT has a dark side, too, and he's shown that he can be very unpredictable. Wilt does not always stick to a "formula" of certain behaviors, and I believe that his taking the lead in getting even with Bloo in "PFN" shows that he's shedding his self-imposed repression and inhibitions that resulted from 30 years of guilt, and returning the Wilt that Jordan and the rest of his family would have known, before the ill-fated game against Foul Larry and his little pudgy creator. Wilt's gradually getting out of the "taking-mess-from-everyone-else" business. He's got such a personality that he can easily persuade others to follow his lead, so getting Coco and Eduardo to go along with the plan to out-do Bloo, even if it meant tying up Frit and Frat, would have been easy.
