Bus the Two of Us
 

Ok there is a thread for this right? Well I didn't see it here so I wanted to start it again, simply because I saw it tonight and I laughed harder the second time.

SPOILER WARNINGS: (for anyone who hasn't seen it by chance)

I found Wilt's coversation with Mac on the phone the funniest thing ever, especially after I realized this time the way he said "I'm caught in a tangled web of LIIIES and I can't take it anymore!" (Paraphrasing.) I don't know why but it had me cracking up so hard! XD

Also who else was freaked out by Coco's ability to play sick, even to the point of her leaves wilting off her head??? Does this mean all IFs can pretend to be sick like that, making themselves look different in a flash? Hmmm....I found that mighty interesting.

Oh and I thought of how this ep could tie in with GWH a bit. The way Wilt is NOT good at keeping secrets (or lying) just spells out SNITCH to me, which is yet another hunch he could have gotten involved with gangs. (Sorry but I'm really stuck on PBL's gang theory, it just seems to work so well.)

OMG and Bloo did the BIG ANIME PUPPY EYES in this ep, for some whacked out reason I missed that the first time I saw this ep too! (I must have been half asleep...)
I hereby request someone draws Bloo with the BIG ANIME PUPPY EYES...prewwy pwease. :P

For me the high point was finding out when Frankie's birthday is, and you know I'll be celebrating it in grand style. :frankiesmile:

Bus the Two of Us marks a special day in my life for this reason: one of the days it aired was the first time I saw Foster's on an actual television since August 13.
I liked this ep. Boy of spotted tongue and Japanese-speaking Bloo totally cracked me up. And I don't know why, but seeing Frankie's all-the-same-green-jackets-in-the-closet was pretty funny too.

I liked it, especially because i know I'll act the same way as mac does once I get my driver's permit.

If you look at my avatar (which I drew myself) I based that off this episode, when she made a funny face for her license picture. Also note on her stats on the license her eyes are green, and she stands five feet eight...:frankiesmile:

I love that picture, I laughed out loud first time I saw it! :bloogrin
What the heck is Frankie doing anyway, trying to see a fly on her nose?
LOL That was perfect, I love the humor in Foster's! 8D

That picture originally appeared in one of Bloo/Herriman's smear attack ads against Frankie in "Setting a President".

Wilt was both hilarious and disturbing at the same time. He really does not hold up well under pressure, and cannot deal with "snitching", can he? When put in that sort of situation, to paraphrase Ford Prefect, Wilt "goes to pieces so fast that people get hit with the shrapnel"!

I love that Eduardo acts so completely opposite to the way he usually does...riding to the mattress store all by himself, and then getting on the bus with a bunch of total strangers. I guess Ed must really trust Bloo and Mac...and, uh, really love mattresses. And the sight of him on his tricycle is one of the best things ever. :-/

Oh Eduardo kicks ass here. He gets so obsessed with that commercial, keeps thinking that the guy is really "LOCO" and acts like this one day only say is the greatest thing on the face of this Earth.

"One...day.....only"

I loved when Mr. Herriman's clone came in and just started spouting jibberish, Goo really can't make a double of someone without messing something up can she?

It was nice to see Eduardo have a fairly large presense in an episode again, and I loved how demanding he could be when looking at fabric.

"Just one minute."

"Ed, we have to-"

"Just. One. Minute."

This episode really made me feel bad for Wilt too; poor guy just doesn't have any way of dealing with stress or pressure. :( I did crack up when he was dressed as Herriman though.

LOL!!! That's so funny!:D And I don't even know what's a sharpnel!:D

Anyways, this is my numbah 1 favorite episode, so far! I love Wilt's reactions! I wonder how will he handle talking to Frankie that he pushed Herriman down the stairs?

What I like in that episode was when Goo came up with the first Herriman, but it was a hairy man.:frankiesmile:

Shrapnel is a term for the sharp pointy bits and razor-sharp bits that go flying in every direction when a bomb goes off. Shrapnel is what causes most of the actual casualties in an explosion. Since Wilt "goes off" when he's subjected to the sort of pressure he was under in "Bus The Two of Us", that's where the bomb analogy came in.

As Bloo would say... "Best..Episode...Ever!"

LOL, that line is from the same episode. :P

The Star Wars reference was funny too with Bloo saying, "Almost there...it's way! Negative, they didn't go in - just impacted on the surface.":frankiesmile:

The funnier thing is if your'e not paying attention you can't even remember that line in ANH.

One of the funniest things ever uttered on Fosters.

"It's away!"

Actually, she made a PERFECT Mr. herriman, from her view. Imagine you're eight, and some crotchety old englishman starts lecturing you on something. What do you hear? "blahblahbabababblahblahbablah..." I found it really great that they added that touch in.

I enjoyed seeing this side of Ed as well. This is one of my favorite episodes of Fosters. :D

The sales girl at the mattress store rings up the total saying that will be $44.00, please. Ed replies, "I have coupon." :-/

His comment while the sales girl is changing the till tape "Lovely weather we've been having."

When offered a free set of sheets ~ Ed's question "Do you have something in pearl?"

Bloo had a lot of hilarious lines. I found it amusing the longer he drove the bus how he took on a trucker persona. He was also speaking with an accent.

The comment to Mac "I gotta tells you Mac, I could get used to living life on the open road, living off the grid, seeing this great country of ours"...8D

8D Yeah, I must admit that I loved how humorous Goo's "Herriman" was and how he was created. I never thought about it that way until you brought it up, though (about how proper englishmen are in the eyes of an eight/nine year old), but it's a good point. :)

Anyway, I loved this episode when I first saw it and loved it even more the other times I saw it. In fact, it's my third favorite episode of Foster's! I thought the humor was sublime, personally.

Bloo easily had the funniest lines-the Star Wars reference and the way he barked at the dog were quite amusing if I must say so myself.

I think Pitbulllady described Wilt's personality in this episode perfectly-I couldn't have described him any better than that. ;) He was definitely both disturbing and hilarious at times. Hilarious because he is downright TERRIBLE at lying AND he found very odd ways to try to cover up the fact that he was lying, but he was also a bit disturbing because of his behavior toward the end of it.

I have to admit that I loved the Japanese speaking Bloo as well. His comments were quite funny at times. ;)

I thought Bloo wearing those smelly plungers (to reach the pedals) was great! I liked the flies buzzing around them.:frankiesmile:

This was the first episode I watched where I caught the first movie/pop culture reference. The hitchhiker that Bloo didn't pick up was in a bathrobe and holding a sign that said Magrathea, which is a reference to hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.

And I believe it was the presidential episode where Bloo remarks about everything equaling 42, another hitchhiker's reference.

well, the first time I watched it, I saw the magrethea sign and thought, "hmmm, that sounds familiar..." and then when I read the thing on wikipedia i went "OHHHHHH!"

I really liked goos mac and bloo

Boy of spotted tounge

And japenese Bloo

I learned a valueble lessson from this episode... IMAGINARY FREINDS CAN'T DRIVE!!!( No offense bloo)

BLOO can't drive...well, actually, I thought he did pretty darn good, considering that he'd never had lessons before AND he's vertically-challenged. Both Wilt and Coco can drive, and do so quite well, as seen in various episodes. Coco drove the bus in "Eddie Monster", and Wilt drove that DeLorean in "One False Movie", and drove a delivery truck in "Where There's a Wilt, There's a Way". Given the number of automobile keys seen in this episode(Bus The Two of Us), it appears that Frankie and Madame Foster aren't the only residents of Foster's who have their own set of keys and a driver's license.

One of the best episodes alone for Eduardo's impersonation of Crazy Whatshisface, along with the accompanying music. Not to mention the Papa John's homage. Wilt must have been more irritated than usual with Bloo though.

haha...this is my favourit episode of all time......though the 'Bloo Superdude' is currently tying 1st place with it.

anyway, i think this episode feature craziness and fun Foster's always has, without the need to torture someone in order to acheive this. Wilt prove to be loyal and helpful to his friends (as always), and Ed demonstrate a will we have never seen before through his determination to get to the mattress sale...haha... i luv him riding the tricycle.

Bloo...Bloo is just awesome, i think he can totally drive... Mac is kind of in pressure here, but i think though he stresses over the whole road trip, he did manage to have fun. Coco is definitely a great actress...i luv how one second she's talking to wilt quite normally then when Frankie appear she quickly fake illnes...and she even heat up the thermometer to fake her temperature...

BTW, before bloo get those plungers on his ur feet (?)..i remember he get it in the gas station...how did he drive as well as watching the road ? he could never reach the brakes...

LOVED THIS EPISODE.

Definitely my favorite interaction between Mac and Bloo. Also hilarious trying to see Wilt not crack and admit what happened. :D
