Episode 4/24: "Pranks for Nothing" - Page 4 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Wow! I can't believe you guys! I thought it was one of the best episodes in the history of Foster's!

Spoiler Below

Mac wasn't even in this episode? It still turned out good, but this is the first time that's ever happened!

I think Wilt was doing ALL the pranks the whole time, not just the last one. Really good.

OK I'll try to explain objectively why I didn't enjoy this episode so much:

Spoiler Below

1. Honestly, it was too predictable. After the first prank "backfires," it was obvious what was going to happen. While I didn't anticipate Mr. Herriman answering Room 212's door, I knew right away it was a fake. I was thinking it was a cardboard cutout of Mr. H, so points for throwing the two new IFs in a Herry costume instead.

2. It lacked the Foster's touch. Replace Bloo with "Sylvester", Coco/Ed/Wilt with "Tweety", Herry with "Grandma", and take out the Foster's Bus, and you have pretty much an acceptable Looney Tunes plotline. Coco even only used her eggs once, from what I remember. And since when does Bloo carry $200+ in his pockets to pay for 80 pizzas?!

3. It's only fair that Bloo gets the short end of the stick every now and then, but the new IFs really weren't too funny. I kinda felt bad for them being all tied up.

4. Fortunately, there was a good ending. The best part of the episode was easily the last 30 seconds or so. The whoopie bag and Sly Wilt, I wasn't expecting at all.

Until I Spoiler Below

saw Bloo pull at his shirt and the fact that he was 3D and fell out of the room

But I like the new IFs alright.

Man, predictable or not(and anyone who's seen "Beavis and Butthead" could probably predict most of what those two guys with the "F's" on 'em would do), this was STILL one of the funniest episodes I've seen in a long time! Maybe it was just because Bloo has had it coming to him for so long, that it just plain FELT GOOD to see someone finally one-up the little booger! Those two slacker/stoner dudes were funny as heck, especially if you've ever actually known people who are just THAT stupid, for real!

"Hey, dude, this isn't the bathroom."
"Oh, yeah...it's like, the gift shop!"

And, while I did have my suspicions that it wasn't Coco who was behind the "inflict Karma on Bloo" plot, I have to say that there have been few scenes, in any tv show or movie, that gave me as much pleasure as that last scene as the bus drove away from the hotel, as that totally, wonderfully EVIIILLLLL grin slowly spread across that face! As we say down here in South Cakalacky, "Don't MESS with Chahlllston!" I'll be dreaming about that grin all night!

Spoiler Below

And, was I seeing this right, or was Wilt driving the bus on the way home?

Question: Who did Flik and Flak? Their names were derived from the old comedy ice skating team "Frick and Frack". For those of us who remember Shipstad and Johnston's Ice Follies before Feld Entertainment of Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus fame bought them, and made it a Disney production, they were funny guys.

No, he wasn't. In the scene just before the camera closes on Wilt, Frankie is clearly seen in the driver's seat.

I enjoyed this episode. Loved the Beavis and Butthead references centering around our two mental midget IF's. It was definitely a battle of wits between the fab four.
