well I haven't seen it!
I'm doin' a bunch of stuff at the same time.

If you check the thread, it's not an arm at all, but a large red FORK, that is painted to look a bit like his arm. I guess Wilt was just amused at the resemblence, as well as a bit surprised.

Dude... Do I sure wish I could watch american tv... Hello by the way. I'm new round here so I thought I'd introduce my self to my fellow Wilt fans. How are you all doing?

Numbah 1.5 is that YOU?

I've been starting to really enjoy Wilt more and more. I liked him anyway, since I'm a fan of Phill Lamarr, but his lines are getting funnyer to me. I was laughing in "I only have surprise for you" when he said everyday should be earth day, and went to find stuff to recycle.

I know, the way he said it with such conviction had me laughing so hard, that I was thanking my lucky stars I wasn't drinking anything at the time, because my liquid refreshment would be coming out of my nostrils for sure

I Only Have Surprise for You is the ONLY Foster's episode I've not seen, so I've not heard that one. However, I think a LOT of the things he says are funny... like in Crime After Crime he advises Ed not to become "a hardened criminal like him". Haha great stuff!

So yes, now I just realized something somewhat odd. Wilt is (as we all know) by far the kindest, most helpful being EVER, yet he's been in jail THREE times that we know of. 1) He sends himself to jail in Crime After Crime, 2) he gets convicted in Where There's a Wilt There's a Way, he escapes, and 3) gets put BACK in jail when they find him again!

(Hey, that's three times more than some of the other friends. I'd say friends and humans, but there's no telling how many times Madame Foster has been reprimanded for streaking... ::))

Anyways, I know most of the time he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, but still... in a list of words that describe Wilt, "jailbird" just doesn't come to mind. 8D

You haven't seen "I only have surprise for you"? Well, here you go.:D

I thought it was one of the funnyer episodes. Enjoy!:D

Yes! It is me! *big hug*

Also, since I'm English I haven't seen it properly yet either however i have watched some of it on youtube but the video kind of stopped half way through. So annoying >(

That's awesome that eps are up on YouTube. When I get home today I'm going to catch up by watching this one and "Bus the Two of Us". I also haven't seen "Setting a President".

Not a lot of episodes are on youtube. But the ones that are are great.:D

Oh yay, thank you!

Speaking of Foster's episodes, I've noticed that other than some recent episodes (such as room witha feud and other's that I haven't seen yet because they haven't been aired in the uk) Wilt hasn't been used that much as a character. Sure he is used and he did have an episode focused on him but that one only lasted eleven minutes (maybe even less). Meanwhile Eduardo has starred in three episodes that last for 30 minutes and Coco tenchinaclly did as well in "My So called Wife". Why is it that they have been used more and also, I think that one of the reasons the producers are making GWH one hour long is because they noticed that they never really used Wilt that much. I'm glad they are actually because Wilt IS a great character and he deserves to be the star for more than eleven minutes/maybe even less. Of course I could be wrong and I just haven't been looking hard enough for his appearences. What do you all think?

Well I have noticed that he's not got that many appearances/lines in episodes like The Big Cheese, but from what I remember, he had a pretty big role in Room With A Feud. Also, I don't know if Bus the Two of Us has come out in the UK, but he plays a huge part in that. From what I can tell, he hasn't been appearing any less than usual.

Wilt has had some big roles in some of the latest episodes to air here in the US, especially "Room With a Feud", in which he shows his extremely competitive, "in-the-zone" side, and "Infernal Slumber", which showcased his "father-knows-best" side, and "Bus the Two of Us", which showed his borderline "Psycho" side when he's under a great deal of stress! I don't think that Wilt is really being underused. As much as I love the Tall Red One, I'd hate to see him OVERused, to the point that viewers who aren't major Wilt fans and fan-girls will get sick of him, like the producers of "Happy Days" wound up doing with Arthur Fonzarelli. The team of creative folks who write, produce, and animate Foster's seem to be well-aware of Wilt's immense popularity, especially among female fans, and DO include things specifically to please us, but they are careful not to oversaturate the screen the Wilt or turn Foster's into "The Wilt Show", since there are obviously people who are luke-warm about him at best(I am not one of those people), and those viewers would be lost if the allowed Wilt to "take over". Considering how many other key characters there are on this show, which is so character-driven, you've got to allow them all some time to shine.

pitbulllady

LOL! That just reminded me of "Elmo's Show"! XD

Sorry, that was off-topic...:(

No, its the BLOO show.

So, can anyone suggest to me a good Wilt fic. Perferably without any Mary Sues.

what's that mean?

A "Mary Sue" is a fanfiction term for an original character, who's really more or less the writer herself, under a different name. Mary Sues are generally VERY annoying, as the writer tends to have them "larger than life", and of course, they almost ALWAYS are in the story for the sole purpose of becoming the love interest of the main fan character. Most Wilt-based fanfics DO feature a Mary Sue, who is almost always a really cool Imaginary Friends, who falls in love with the Tall Red One immediately after arriving at Foster's, and she is always really nice. Most of the time, she's also harrassed and made fun of by one of the other female Imaginary Friends, who are jealous that THEY don't get to be all snuggly-wuggly with the Wilt-Man. It's tough, I'll admit, to create an OC that isn't at least a bit "Mary Sueish", or in the case of male fanfic writers, "Gary Stueish".

pitbulllady

oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I've done that a bunch of times.
........
>> now I feel stupid.

I think all writers put at least a bit of themselves into their characters, and not all OCs are Mary Sues, but... I just don't really like OCs in general. Oh well.

You know, I try hard to make my OCs the least sueish they can be. XD And lemme tell ya, that's quite hard.

Ewww I've started to read many Wilt fanfics that are so Mary Sue-ish that I don't even finish them (I'm picky like that::)). I didn't even know that annoyance had a name, but it's good to know I'm not the only one who noticed it.

You know, I never thought Wilt would become so popular. In fact, I was expecting to see some character bashing. Good thing that didn?t happen ? it would?ve made the fandom unpleasant!

When I first watched the show, Wilt was my favorite character. While I don't dislike him, he's not my favorite character in the series now. Maybe it's because I find people like him rare in the world but I really don't have a constructive answer. I have to admit, he's one of the kindest souls in the whole show, and he does make things a bit more interesting (I found him hilarious in "Neighbor Pains").

I haven't read many Foster's fanfics yet, but I can say that I tend to avoid creating and reading about OCs. Many of them either end up as Mary Sues or plain boring. Then again, most fanfics I've been reading recently haven?t really captivated me. Still, I can imagine people screwing up Wilt's character.

Wilt didn't have any funny lines in "President" just so you know.

Yes he does. Somewhere.

I take it you're not of voting age yet, right? So you haven't had to experience all the rules than accompany excersising your right to cast a vote. Wilt's lines about the rules of voting, and getting to receive that little sticker that says, "I Voted", were pretty darn funny to anyone who's actually experienced this, first-hand. I guess that there are a lot of Wilt's lines that many people don't get, since Wilt has this very subtle form of sarcasm that will go right over many people's heads(OOPS! Sorry...didn't mean to put it that way! That was NOT a "tall person" joke), like in "The Big Picture" when he responds to Mr. Herriman's statement that having him stand in a chair would only make less of him visable in the annual photograph, when Wilt actually meant that he could SIT in a chair! Wilt has just learned that there is no point trying to reason with some people, but he can't resist taking that little sneaky verbal shot at them, just the same!

pitbulllady

wilt is...
 

I would say :D is nice,caring,non selfess,giving,ect. Theres to many words to describe Wilt lol.

I've not seen this ep in a while, how does he respond?

Heh. Wilt's sneaky sarcasm makes me smile...

...and so does the name "Ditchy McAbandonpants". :D (I know he's serious about the whole abandonment thing, but that name he called Mac was just downright funny)

He was talking to Jackie (forgot last name all of a sudden...). "It's the law," XDD

Yes, so sneaky that most people wqon't notice it unless you listen hard.

LOL! I remember that! Ditchy McAbandonpants! XD

After Mr. Herriman told him that even less of him would be seen if he stood(Wilt was obviously thinking of SITTING in the chair)in a chair, Wilt just sighs and turns away, saying something like, "Oh, yeah...I guess you're right", but you can catch that "what an IDIOT!" tone in his voice as he says it, and he just knows, probably from past experience, that there's no point in trying to argue with Mr. H or change his mind about anything.

pitbulllady

So that's why Wilt pushed Mr. Herriman down the stairs.

Wilt gets a movie the Nov. in the U.S. That's worth 3 episodes IMO.

...BWAHAHAHAHA! If that is so, why does he say "sorry" over and over again?

force of habit.

Nothing to do with what you guys are talking about but I just saw this on tv tonight:

In 1983 Australia, Jack Newton was one of the best golfer's Australia had. But he made the mistake of walking out onto the tarmac of an airport and got struck by the propeller of a plane.

He lost his right arm, and his right eye.

When I heard that you know who popped into my mind right away, and I just wanted to tell you guys who always wondered how someone could loose an arm and eye, and remain scarred in the afters.

Propeller.

I'm not saying that's what happened to Wilt no, but that's an actual fact of how someone lost their eye and arm.

Great. Another idea. XD

Okay it's a bit late but:

*shrinks about two hundred times her size*
Oh poopie. I now feel as though I need to go shoot my own OC from my story 'Crooked Smile' (used to be Life Of a Broke Imaginary Friend but I changed the name because the original title was a bit dodgie). I have no idea whether my OC is Mary Sueish or not, but I can't help but think that she is :-[ .

Actually, your OC, "ZigZag", is one of the best out there. I don't know you, so I can't say if you've got this Cockney accent or act really "street tough" or not, but she reminds me of "Eliza Doolittle" in My Fair Lady. She's almost a polar opposite of Wilt, which is why they have such good chemistry together. She's also far from "Miss Perfect"-she's got a hair-trigger temper and knows how to use it, unlike the helpless, sweetly-innocent OC "Mary Sues" in many stories. I think you're doing fine in how you are developing their relationship, too, by having them start out as friends, who don't always see eye-to-eye(no pun intended), rather than rush into the romance head-long, as most fanfic writers do. Most have Wilt and their OC fall head-over-heels for each other the first time they meet, but honestly, very few relationships start that way, and those that do, don't last very long. There's got to be something besides phyical attraction in a relationship, otherwise once that inevitably cools down, there's nothing left to hold it together.

pitbulllady

My OC isn't even supposed to start a relationship like that with Wilt at all. XD

In fact, in the end, everyone learns she's not imaginary nor human nor alien, but a Froman (I made that spieces up) and she lives happily in her homeland.

Reason for this is because I redid [Yo-yo] and now she's Lynn, a Froman experiment-gone-wrong (but not on purpose) who excaped from the science lab, hopefully forever.

In other words, Twins is canceled, Yo-yo is now Lynn, and Lynn's fanfiction is still in the "pre-wrting" stage. I am not sure when it'll be released to Fanfiction dot net. XD

Sorry that this is off topic, but I just wanted to clearify that.
