The secret ingrediant to the show. Blooregard Q. Kazoo, otherwise known as Bloo. A great and very special imaginary friend. Who belongs to our favorite 8 year old, Mac. Alongside each other they go on crazy adventures, that neither you or me could ever dream about. Bloo may sometimes be considered a "jerk" but we all know deep down he's got a heart of gold. He's mostly in his own little world that crazy Bloo, i'm assuming that's why he couldn't care much. But we all love him. I'm sure thats what attracted many of us to Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends. Like I said before Bloo just so happens to be the secret ingrediant that makes this show so special to many fans. 8-)

I love Bloo (hence the name) he's awsome

Loving the name btw! Yes Bloo is my favorite character I love him to bits 8-)

Bloo is awesome. He is, without a doubt, my favorite character on this show. I know that there has been a lot of Bloo-bashing (not here, but in other places) because of his arrogant and selfish attitude, but quite honestly, THAT'S the reason I like him! Because of his arrogant and selfish attitude. And he can even be sweet sometimes (see: end of Cuckoo for Coco Cards). Blooregard Q. Kazoo is actually what attracted me to this show. He's such an awesome little guy!

Awwww thanks. Yeah Bloo is cute.
I love him to bits too

Imaginary Light. Your read my mind. Thats soo true 8-)

It's great with you can put so much expression into a little blue blob with just a few lines and tone of voice.

It is quite amazing. Craig McCracken must have put alot of thought into Bloo e.g. like his expressions etc Don't we just love Bloo 8D

Yeah... It must be difficult to capture the nuances of each expression and to fit it to what's going on.

I agree with IL; I love Bloo's selfish sarcastic ego-tripping, but I guess I just gravitate toward immature, bratty characters. But I mean, come on. He's adorable.

Completely adorable, Kageri.

Bloo's great. He's definately the most expressive character on the show. Very difficult to do with such a simple-looking character, but Foster's definately pulls it off. -wink-

I think Bloo's character design and raage of expressions was what made me love him in the first place. I too was amazed at how such a simple character could be so... alive! And he was the one the made me watch Foster's in the first place.^^ I usually find selfish, bratty characters annoying, but it's different with Bloo somehow, probably because we know he doesn't mean to hurt anyone. And yes, his adorableness does help things along a bit! 8-)

I agree. I never really like jerky characters. But Bloo was just soo cute (he oozed cuteness) and he really didn't mean it. Many reasons for his Jerkyness is that he doesn't even know, sometimes he's so caught up in the moment. That it just seems to happen as he is occupied with a subject that he finds overwelming. Bloo Rocks :D 8-)

Yeah, his cuteness (hehe, a blob oozes cuteness?) as well as the fact that he's not malicious redeem him somewhat...

I even like characters that are malicious, because.... well, I'm really weird. I just like the "arrested development" thing Bloo's got goin' on. He's like an eternal little kid... wait, if he's only five, is it really arrested development? Something to think about...

Something else to think about: are Imaginary Friends immortal? Because I don't wanna imagine Bloo in a spaceship...

I'm not really a big fan of jerky characters, either. Blooregard Q. Kazoo is one exception. Why? First of all, you have to admit that he is indeed, well -- cute. Second, I don't believe he's trying to hurt anyone, when he's up to no good. Third, Bloo's voice-over. You have Bloo's appearance, add the high-pitched, adorable sounding voice -- voila!! You have the ingredients to create a fun, lovable character! This is why he's definitely one of my favourites. 8-)

I don't really notice Bloo's self-centered nature. I guess that's because his cuteness radiates so brightly that it hides his selfishness. I love that blue blob with his funny voice and his big smile and his crazy expressions and his crazy adventures in that crazy house.

Utterly and completely. Bloo's impulsive, reckless, sometimes insensitive, and he makes it ALL look so cute.

Quick question: where exactly did Bloo learn how to drive? It just baffled me when I saw "Bus the Two of Us" for the first time.

Well Bloo has driven before, in the season 2 episode "Partying Is Such Sweet Soiree" where he had commandeered Madam Foster's Firebird to search for Mac.

Simply getting the car someplace-sort-of is easy if you know which pedal is which and how to turn it on. Doing so legaly requires much more skill... hehe...

Well in Partying, Bloo was the one steering, while Wilt was actually the one operating the gas and the breaks from the back seat with his long legs.

Bloo is hysterical and goes well with Mac because they are the exact opposites. They actually kind of remind me of Jack Sparrow and Will Turner together. XD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vkEqs3Xd_g I thorght I'd show you guys My new Bloo music vid.

Mac and Bloo complete each other...
"He's the chocolate to my peanut butter!"
"The salt to your pepper!"
"The pop to your corn!"
"The sizzle to my wizzle!"

But I'm not suggesting a pairing.

They don't seem to age (although they can sire offspring, aparently). If you look at the photos from The Big Picture, Frankie and M.Foster change over time, but the friends around them stay exactly the same!

They can? Sorry, I'm probably missing something obvious here.^^;

Juan and Juanita, the Imaginary fleas? They had a dozen imaginary flea babies

They reminds me, who imagined the imaginary fleas? Chewy?

Bloo is remarkable in the way he's affected me....I know I love a show when I love the star character, and the reason being because the creator of said show did such awesome character ideas.

I didn't like Bloo much in the beginning, really I didn't. He annoyed me, and mainly because he was a big jerk who acted totally selfish, careless, and even did things that were kind of mean to Mac.

But then...well then I started to see just WHY Bloo did these things. I watched the pilot a few extra times, looking for hints. And then it hit me, I realized why...and I couldn't dislike him anymore. For one thing, just seeing Bloo's sad face when he saw Mac going into his mother's room for a "talk"...he knew. He knew she was gonna blame everything on Bloo (not directly but you know she did) and tell Mac to get "rid" of him, like a toy that's outlived its purpose.
How would that affect you, to hear something like that? Of course, that's the whole plot to this show....and why Foster's was created, obviously. Madame Foster thinks like we fans do, she obviously knows that IFs are getting the "short end of the stick", and she wants to give them a loving home, and another shot at adoption with hopefully a better family then the one that abandoned them. (Or the kid who was forced to give up the Imaginary, ala Mac.)

I realize now that every bad thing Bloo does is for two reasons...one, plain naivity (he just doesn't get it sometimes), and the other, emotional anger. He sometimes acts up REAL BAD....and I noticed he's usually at his worst when Mac is NOT around. Just watch the eps! (This isn't the case for ALL of them, but for most.)
Of course this only emphasizes the close bond the two have, and like Craig said, the two complete each other like one whole being.

So...yeah...getting a bit dramatic there ( I am Drama Queen, hear me roar.) but that's why I know adore Bloo. In fact, when I watch an episode and see things like him apologizing to Coco or inviting his friends to things (like Wilt), you know Bloo has a true gold heart deep inside...he just likes to build up barriers around it and try to act like he doesn't have a care in the world.

And to that Bloo goes... ::)

LOL

Ohhh yeah, thanks for reminding me.^^ Hmm maybe lol, but it seems a bit strange that a dog would want to imagine friends that would irritate him to no end. o.o

No that couldn't have been the case, as Chewy himself is an imginary puppy (Which is why Chewy is still living in Foster's despite being ruled over by a Dog hating president.) and well you know about the whole business about imaginaries not being able to imagine new friends as it was brought up in the Land of The Flea episode, When Bloo wanted Mac to imagine him some fleas of his own, Bloo was all he like if could do it himself, he would, but he couldn't, so he was dependent on Mac to do it for him.

After reading through the 'Wilt' thread, it reminded me, remember when everyone moved back together in "Room with a Feud"? It's interesting to see how close they are, and more pointedly how Bloo was willing to go too, since he was fighting and all.

YESTHANKYOU.

I agree very much. :bloosmirk:

I have to give credit where credit is due, and salute the staff for creating such a wild, unpredictable, hysterical and memorable character out of just a little blue blob. It sends a really nice message to all the hacks and wannabes out who think that elaborate CGI and complicated technical details are more important than the heart and personality of the characters.

VIVA LA BLOOREGARD.

I think that's true not just of character design but of media in general these days. It feels like they're focusing too much on razzle dazzle (getting every one of a characters CGI feathers perfectly detailed, for example) and forgetting the heart of the story their trying to tell.

My thoughts exactly.

I triple this! Wait a minute, didn't I agree with this statement already? :P

I love little Blooregard...a lot. A**holes are my bread n' butter when it comes to all spectrems of pop culture. And (in addition to being SO FREAKIN' CUTE) my favorite thing about him is how his gigantic ego totally eclipses everything. No wonder he can't see how much he annoys people, there's no way his lil' two foot nuttin' frame could see over it.

And his voice is just...*hugs Keith Fergeson*

I would love to see one hint or reference to Bloo's blanket theory....I always thought his love for hugs was one of those references, but that could be analyzing a bit too much.
He DOES like contact with people...a blanket is in direct contact with someone, but again that could be stretching it.

Wouldn't it be cute if there were a scene where the heat is out at Foster's in the middle of winter, and Bloo offers to keep Mac warm?
Aw.
Yeah well I just live for little things like that, call me strange if you want.

:bloosmirk: Yeah.
