Aw! Did you bounce the Quokka glove puppet around from behind sofas etc?

I expect this animal is well suited to the clockwork format of toy, too.

Actually looking back on it, it's surprising to think that anyone would wear a cork hat. Surely those corks would be as annoying as any insect anyway? Maybe the bitey ones are a bit annoying but why would they be stopped by a preposterous hat anyway?

But seriously now, every day I spend without Crackers is just painful and lonely. I intend to make Crackers come alive with cutting-edge science or failing that, spirally further into insanity.

Yeah, something like that. I'm sure it was very darling to all spectators. Of course, though he was officially a quokka, he had a fairly generic animal design, and I did kind of wind up changing his species depending upon whatever critter I felt most postively inclined toward at the time. I'm pretty sure he got to be a mongoose, a weasel, an abnormally long-tailed prairie dog and a kangaroo rat, amongst other things, at various points throughout our partnership together.

Well, I guess failing all else you can always do what his original creator did - that is, imagine him and have him as your own imaginary companion. Or would that qualify for the spiralling further into insanity catagory?

Funnily enough it seems like the only sane thing I could possibly do. I suppose the only workable definition of insanity is what a couple of doctors say so as long as I stay away from doctors it's perfectly alright to believe Crackers is here. Trouble is Crackers came from someone elses imagination first. So my Imaginary Crackers would be like the Bloo clones who performed so magnificently in those Ice Charades. It's got to be science hasn't it? Hope I don't create a monster. Again.

I thought I was the only one who remembered crackers! One of my fave secondary characters!

ha, I remember one of the really early epps, i think the one where cheese coms....when it was like have cheese and get crackers for free!
and then crackers was sad cuz no one bought cheese or crackers. AWWW!

Crackers is awesome ^^.
Never really noticed the Papillon reference, until I realized that you /weren't/ on about the Papillons with abnormally huge ears XD.

I always thought Crackers was female, but, I've got his/her voice in my head.. I think he's male now, lol.

..Someone should make a shipping with Crackers.

Wow! You too? I can't believe the sorts of things Crackers wants me to do.

This is way off topic, but I have a hamster named Crackers!

I kind of got over that whole "Crackers Watch" phenomenon a while ago (so 2007, people!) but for old times sake, and since I don't have an awful lot to do this morning, here's his appearence in "Read Em and Weep":

Not that any of you can have missed it. ;)

EDIT: Oh, I see that he's in "Bad Dare Day" too, but...meh. Let someone else screencap it, if they're really that desperate.

:)Wowser! What a delightful thing to come home to! Yeh, 2007 was obviously a fine vintage and it's rather divine to sip it one more time. Yet there's still so much I've missed, obviously. I've not seen those 2 eps yet. :)

Yeh, maybe there is someone desperate enough to screencap another glimpse, have a go anyway, for that one nostalgic, melancholy last look.

As for Crackers, perhaps he's left this galaxy for one less complicated. Sadly he's not left enough images of himself to enjoy so thank you very much indeed for this one. Perhaps I'll create some. :bloogrin:


...Or herself obviously. Like I care.

Here comes the person who's that desperate enough 8D

I gots 4 in all and circled Crackers in each one. You ever notice that he's most of the time, all ways looking at Bloo...? :jk:

EDIT: Sorry for making image super big :3

No apologies necessary, Bloo4Ever! If there's one thing better than nice pictures of little Crackers, it's nice big pictures of little Crackers. Thank yooou!

I suppose it's probably hard not to be looking at Bloo when you're in his presence.

You're welcome :bloogrin:


I love image 1!; He takes bout 1/50 of the actual picture XD XD

By the way, was he in 'Fool and Regulations' or Goodbye to Bloo'? :blooconf:

I'd watch the eppies again but then I cant help but get teary-eyed :macwor:

Anyways, he shouldve at least been in Goodbye to Bloo as it is the finale and Crackers is like, the third best supporting charcter ever :P

I'm afraid I've not seen the episodes you mention. I will soon enough and I'll be constantly on the look out for small pink objects. Yes.

I'm not sure Crackers could even reasonably be called a supporting character. What constitutes a supporting character I wonder? I think Crackers is the all time world No. 1 incidental character maybe. There would be a pretty big drop-off after No. 1 too.

I've got to wonder why people never made this much fuss over Gary, the teary-eyed kitten IF...well, I think he's cool. He has a quiet dignity to his sorrow which Crackers rather lacks, don't you think?

Did Gary never get a thread? If not then that is indeed a cause of regret.

I think Crackers did get black-balled when he tried to join the Fosters Stoicism club. He cried at that too.

I think its because Gary is somewhat of forgettable character. Now with the case of Crackers:

1) Interesting name. Unfortunately, Gary isn't.

2) Good debut. The whole Cheese episode, 'Mac Daddy' was one of the favorites, so was that jokes about Cheese and Crackers, making the moment less forgettable in our minds.

3) He cries a lot 8D Apparently, many of us are suckers for that :P

Well, Gary cries a lot too (the crucial difference being that Gary weeps silent tears while Crackers lets loose into full-scale bawls). And he is so-called simply because it's what happened to fit into Uncle Pockets' rhyming scheme. Crackers was given his name for the sake of a momentary comic misunderstanding. Both characters were conceived for the sake of throwaway gags, essentially.

I did consider creating a thread for Gary a long time ago, but eventually decided against it, resolving simply to write my Official Gary Appreciation post in the "Who Would You Adopt?" thread. Other than the fact that he's prone to lacrimation (but also has the ability to snap out of his sorrow pretty easily, at least on the surface), that Uncle Pockets likes toying with his fragile emotions (again, presumably because it's the name which best compliments his compulsion toward rhyming) and that Bloo considers him to be a "loser", we might be a bit limited to what we could actually discuss in such a thread (particularly since so few members seem to share my enthusiasm for the little crying kitten). But Gary's awesome nonetheless, and he's definitely one of the IFs I'd be most interested in adopting, if I ever had the chance.

(Obviously, the character I'd most like to adopt is Kip Snip. Sadly he's not available.)

Your aforementioned point about the quiet dignity that Gary has makes more people feels sorry for him than of Crackers, however, I beieve it'
s the fact that Cracker's cries are more boisterous is the reason why we remember him more.

And That is correct, we can't really blame Gary for his name, but that is still a justifiable cause I think. Take Yogi Boo Boo for example. At the beginnning of the series, he never played a big character, but people grew to like him, and he was included more into the series by 2 aspects: His unique accent and his unique name. I could be wrong, although I'd like to think I'm not.

ANd you do have another valid point with throwaway gags, but in my perspective, the Cheese/Crackers gag had much more grandeur and epicness than the Mr. Pockets Rhyme/Gary gag.

Don''t get me wrong, I do like him, although I do not think I'd consider adopting him.

And if you ever do decide to adopt a certain Kip Snip, my friend Bloo would like to have a chance to play with him once again :blooevil: :P

Fair enough points. I'll just concede that they're both great characters, and that I wouldn't mind seeing them go head to head in a battle of wits some time.

Haha, cute proposition. Not sure if it's such a good idea to leave those two alone together, though. ;)

Now I come to think about it we don't really see Crackers or Gary crying that much at all. For Gary it's about half of all the time we see him and for Crackers it's possibly a bigger proportion of time though for most of the occassions we've seen Crackers he's actually looked quite content. We just caught them both at a bit of a low point those times.

You could say Gary had more to cry about. Uncle Pockets suddenly turns on a sixpence and it's actually quite shocking for poor Gary. However with Crackers we don't know how many times he's faced the situation of being mistaken for food. Maybe he dealt with it better all those other times and this time Crackers just cracked. Personally if I were Crackers I'd much rather live at Fosters than with Cheese and some slack-jawed yokel.

However when all is said and done, in that moment where Bloo summoned an imaginary friend called Crackers and this little pink thing came bouncing up my life got strangely better even if I'll never understand why.

Crackers is cute looking and funny.

Is it just me, or, do it's eyes look a bit bigger in the final screencaps on the previous page?

Actually, one thing which I'm surprised no one's mentioned about Crackers is the resemblance he bears to Calumon from Digimon Tamers:

http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/2491/culumon.jpg

Seriously, dip that thing in pink Dulux and what have you got?

Oh my gosh, jekylljuice you're right O.O

Although, He's like a pink version of it that tends to cry a lot 8D

I could always tell that Crackers, along with Gary actually, reminded me of some Japanese made monsters (it was either Digimon or Pokemon with me) but couldn't relly say who.

You'd need to give it a tail too but otherwise....

Calumon eh? Someone told me on the chat once that Crackers was a rip-off of a neo-pet but this Calumon is pretty damn similar.

So is Calumon a boy or a girl pokemon? Or don't pokemon(s?) have a gender? I really know nothing about these creatures. Honestly, they totally got by me. I turned my back for a year or two and then they were everywhere and i still have no idea why or what they want. Can I obtain a Calumon? If so, how large?

PokeMons come in either gender, really. Not sure about "Calumon".

I always thought Crackers was male, really.

That's always been my assumption, too.

Neither. Calumon is a digimon (believe me, there is a difference). And, interestingly, from what I can make out, the gender actually varied from translation to translation. In the English dub, Calumon was clearly identified as male, though I have heard rumours that in the Japanese original, "he" was a girl. The reverse kind of happened to Lopmon, who had an effeminate voice and for the most part spoke in gender-neutral terms, which allegedly caused the English translators to misidentify him as a female. A line from Renamon toward the end of the series seemed to imply that distinctions of gender were pretty meaningless in the digital world anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter, though the universal validity of that statement has been debated.

Oh, and Calumon does have a tail, though it isn't visible in that particular image. It's a little stump of a tail, but it's still there.

Yes! Someone who knows they DigiHistory! :D

I can't really add on to what JekyllJuice said, because she was pretty much spot on, although I could say (its a bit irrelevent to Crackers, but it matters with Digimon) gender was a lot more obvious in the first 2 seaosns, and had a bigger impact on the show I think. But that's pretty much it.

I love Crackers. :D
Crackers was one of the best characters.

I'd hug it. :bloogrin:

Totally nonbinary. :)

Woah, check this out, Crackers is featured on the Complete Series DVD (Disc 11 to be precise)! What's really cool about this, is that she's the only character on these discs, that isn't considered a main or prominent character, I'm surprised they chose to feature her instead of someone like Berry or even Jackie Khones.

I guess someone at WB is a fellow Crackers fan!

I didn't notice that!

Crazy for sure. Not a main or known side character but she got featured. Lucky little cracker. :berry:

Yoooo that's awesome! I wonder if they were aware of the Crackers love back in the day or if it's just a wild coincidence :frankiesmile:

I saw this post on Twitter, and was surprised to see Crackers on the third image!

It's great to see some Crackers stuff from the people who worked on the show, I wonder if there's anything else!
