Goofball John Magee
 

The guy that came to Foster's and said he was amn imaginary friend, turned out he was. Created by John Larry McGee in Canada. Is the mascot for his creators canadian football team. He annoyed Frankie to no end. Personally, I absolutely HATED goofball. He torchured Frannie- er... Frankie. The only time he was nice to her was at the end of the episode, but he still called her Frannie. How do you guys feel about John- errr melony- errr GOOFBALL?!!
::)

Maybe you can change my mind about him, although you probabaly can't.

Don't get me started. >:(

I don't really care for Goofball McGee (not Magee :P ), but I can't totally blame him for what happened in IHFUMEUP. Frankie was too quick to judge Goofball, and assume that Goofball is just some kooky teenage boy, pretending to be an IF. I know I'm in the minority to say this, but that's what I honestly believe.

I thought he was funny.

*brick'd*

But seriously, I liked his voice though.

I knew you were gonna get mad about this thread, but don't get me wrong, I hated hime too. I dislike him with great great great great great great great intensity. sorry if you dispise me for making this thread. :(

My only question is whether or not his trunk will hold the shape of the knot I'd like to tie it in.

Gimme back my brick. :)

Not to worry, I use Goofball threads as an excuse to yell.

Personally, Goofball's right up there with Paris Hilton and Crazy Frog in my book of most hated things... EVER.

Too bad he doesn't have parents. Oh well, you can make him eat his creators instead.

That ep was a bit sadistic to poor old Frankie.:frankiemad: Missing the concert...

Sadistic? It was pure cruelty. I will never forgive Goofball, and I don't plan on forgetting Bloo's and Mr. Herriman's contributions to Frankie's misery, either.

Well technically 'sadistic' and 'cruel' are both the same thing, so all of the above. ;) Anyway, yeah, that episode was just...wrong, and sick on so many levels. I saw a rerun of it tonight and I felt my gut twisting once again at the sight of Goofball. I love Tom Kenny and his voice work on Spongebob, but Goofball's voice was just GRATING.

You're right; Frankie was quick to judge him, but I think any of us would have reacted the same way to an identical image of a teenage boy wearing a clown's nose and a polka dotted tie. I probably would have yanked on his nose right from the beginning to prove my point and save myself an entire evening of torture. Poor Frankie. Never in my life had I ever felt so bad for her. I keep wondering why Foster's won't hire anybody else to lend her a hand. It's physically impossible to do everything Frankie does in one day, specially in a mansion as big as Foster's. She'll wear herself out before she even reaches her 30's.

Frankie wasn't too quick to judge. He looked like a teenage boy with a red nose and a "crazy tie", and he sounded so unsure and had to rely on Frankie's sayings. Made ME mad. I don't like the impact Goofball had on Bloo, either.

GOOFBALL: PROMOTING LAZINESS, LYING, SELF DEFAMATION, AND HATRED IN TWO COUNTRIES.

That would make an excellent caption for his "Wanted" poster. :)

Urgh. I saw that episode last night (well, this morning, it was on at 1) and he gives canadians a bad name. I like canadians, and they don't sound like him. Though they do have funny accents.

Goofball definitely didn't look like an IF, but the same can be said for Prince Charming (an Imaginary Man). :P Hey, "Goof Goof McGoof" looked more like an IF than Goofball McGee did. 8D

Actually, apart from Goofball being one of the most irritating characters ever, that was another thing that really annoyed me during the episode. I found the whole episode was just... so annoying! I just wanted Frankie to pull that damn red nose off!!! >.<

Now, I'm no fan of him. He was quite obnoxious and the writers left a hole in his backstory that was almost as annoying as he was (why would an imaginary friend who is a football mascot have homework?).

However, his conversation with Frankie about phones in Canada was hilarious.

I'm a Frankie fan, you know that, and you probably already can guess how I feel towards Goofball.

It's very simple...

I don't hate him.....I loathe him. I despise, detest, disgust, and dynamically dislike him to a definition that knows no bounds!

Sorry, I think that just needed to be said.

I've said that, but it bears repeating. :)

LONG OVERDUE EDIT: I deleted the original post because, quite frankly, it was a very coldhearted and stupid thing for me to say, and I hope you can forgive me for it. I wrote and posted solely out of pure anger upon seeing the name on the topic listing, and simply forgot about it until recently. I would never truly do something like that, and I apologize. Goofball's family seem like OK people.

In fact, upon recently rewatching "Imposter's Home" after many months of bashing it... I must say that it isn't THAT bad. I admit it, I've become so fixated with Goofball being a blatant moocher and Frankie missing her concert, that I forgot that it actually has somewhat of a happy ending. It was just nice to see Frankie NOT taking things personally, and instead doing her best to smile along and be a good sport about it. And she looks adorable with that clown nose.

I still hate Goofball, though. :(

Am I like the only person here who doesn't hate goofball? :P I thought he was cool, he was a funny character. So layed back...

It's not so much what he is, but what he DID to my favorite character... :frankiemad: :(

Oh come on, Frankie's life can't be perfect. Putting up with Goofball was just another bump in the road. She lived.

I see, so we were supposed to enjoy watching Frankie suffer? Sorry, but I don't enjoy seeing the people I love go through a living hell like that. Goofball should be chained to a battleship anchor and dropped in the central Pacific for what he put her through. >:(

If Frankie were the kind of character that deserved to suffer such a cruel ordeal(like Duchess or Vicky the Babysitter or Mandy), or were an irritating Mary Sue-like character whose life is usually 100% perfect, then it would've been hilarious. But as it stands, she is already underappreciated and sympathetic as it is, so giving her an episode where she gets trashed from start-to-finish without any payback at all, isn't funny unless you hate her and/or love "bashing" humor.

And I'm sorry, but there is no excuse whatsover for the cruelty that happened in that episode. Goofball turning out to be an imaginary friend does not change his deliberately reckless behavior. And Frankie being wrong in the end does NOT AT ALL erase all the genuine hard work, dedication and kindness she's shown both before and since in the course of the series, to the point that it's easy to shrug it off with "bah, she deserved to miss the concert". It just doesn't.

Well said, dude. :frankiesmile:

No arguements here.

although I really don't feel like arguing over here, I think Goofball being "chained to a battleship anchor and dropped in the central Pacific" is a whole lot meaner than your sweet Frankie missing a concert. :|

I don't care. He put someone I care very deeply about through hell and got away with it. I want vengence. :terrence:

It was Frankie missing the concert she'd been waiting a long time to see... AFTER(and DESPITE) all the excessive amount of work she did that day, being embarassed in front of the entire house and getting verbally trashed by all of her friends, ALL at the hands of a complete jerk who gets away with it. AND it was a complete slap in the face to one of the show's most sympathetic and vulnerable characters--who has become even more so after that incident.

And I think the whole "human or imaginary" plotline was an excuse to hide the fact that the episode was nothing more than the "Let's Bash Frankie Foster Half-Hour!". If Frankie just pulled the clown nose instantly upon his arrival, and realized from the very beginning that Goofball was an imaginary friend--chances are things would've played out the EXACT SAME WAY they did in the episode, only replace the "Goof Goof McGoof" finale with Goofball deliberately creating a giant mess that destroys the entire house, just as Frankie was about to finally leave for the concert.

So, no, it's not just "sweet Frankie missing a concert".

I didn't read the entire thread before posting like I normally do, but let me say this:

HE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF FRANKIE AND TREATED HER LIKE CRAP!!!

He can jump out a window for all I care.

And that is my two cents, for I must go put my little brother to bed.

I think I speak for everyone when I say that for a future warning to anyone who supports "Imposter's" or the character Goofball, I would suggest arming your ass from head to toe with bullet proof vests because any support for either of those two will probably get you shot around here.

Including me :scaryberry:. But seriously, this episode (much like "I Only have Surprise for you") seemed to just rely on the same hurtful joke: let's treat someone like dog crap for the entire program and make every single second, minute, and moment an agonizing living hell as many times as we could.

And that's what really hurts me about this episode. It had an idea that COULD have been used more wisely instead of just bashing Frankie over the head with a "you suck" baseball bat every 5 seconds. Frankie is too sweet, and has too big of a heart to honestly take any of this crap, she doesn't deserve it and neither did the viewers.

Even non Frankie fans can see this was practically a character assasination. The REAL "kill" part for me, the one that really hurt me when I watched this episode was how the scene and music played out when Frankie scrubbed the floors. The whole slow dissolve technique while she scrubbed and had that sad look on her face.

That just did it for me :'(, that just nailed it in that this was hell and that sadly, no payback was ever given. Frankie didn't have to apologize for JACK SQUATT! The only person who honestly deserved to apologize was Goofball, no character's behavior in that episode comes close to bring as LOW as Goofball's.

Goofball was a jerk, but I liked his voice and his pigeon walk and all the alternative names for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

I cried during that part, it was so upsetting. It honestly hurt that much. I hate Goofball for that scene more than any other part of the episode. No one should have to go through a day like that, Frankie least of all. Doesn't she put up with enough as it is?

I personally will forever hate this episode and loathe Goofball. "Time heals all wounds" doesn't apply to me here at all. It's been over a year since this episode first debuted, yet my hatred of it has only intensified, and the very thought of it's events STILL makes me feel very sad and hopeless. The only thing Ms. Faust's "defense" on Toon Zone did for me was make me believe that they're lying about "just trying to be funny" with this episode, because I fail to see the comedy in such cruel and malicious character bashing.

As much as I admire the Foster's staff for their talent, I've still yet to forgive them for allowing this episode to exist. "Setting A President" was a step in the right direction, but it's not enough to erase the traumatic memories of "Imposter's". I'm counting on Season 5 to prove that "SAP" wasn't a fluke, and that they've actually learned their lesson.

I have one thing to say Goofball haters and Fans

CHILLOUT
I mean really Bloo has done things to make my fave character mac Misarble and you don't see me hating him or making a big fuss over it
who cares if some character no matter how sweet they are have a tough time in an episodes

all the characters have faced hard times

I like frankie in all she actually one of the rare female characters I like caus normally I depise female character no matter how sweet they are
But I don't think she should get special treatmeant I don't think its fair
since the other characters have faced hard times

For example: when bloo was forced into being adopted
and is deprived(sp?)of sleep and food and if mac didn't hear Bloo's call for help he bloo could have died (IMO thats worse then frankie missing a concert)

oh and if you were to kill Goofball frankie wouldn't really like you very much
why becaus Goofball is an imaginary friend and you know how much she cares
about imaginary friends




Now I want to arguments here okay

Who cares? I won't bother dignifying that with a response.

I was not aware that being treated with dignity and respect constitutes "special treatment". She certainly got neither in "Imposter's".

You don't seriously think I'm going to change my position on this, do you? Because I can assure you right now that that will never happen. It would be an act of betrayal as far as I'm concerned, and I am not going to betray the woman I love most in this world for any reason whatsoever.

I concede that point. However, it does not change how I feel in the slightest. I despise him for the hell he put her through and I always will.

Too late.

The difference is, that episode you mentioned("The Sweet Stench of Success") was a crowd-pleaser that sent a valuable message about friendship, while "Imposter's" basically tells children that nice people finish last and jerks rule the world.

will someone just lock this thread its causing to many agruments
and making people hate each other

oh and if it will make all you frankie fans happy I'll draw a picture
of Goofball in serious pain =D

I really don't want to lock the thread, but I will advise to everyone to just chill out a little, I know some of you have strong opinions on the matter and I know there is nothing I can do or say to change those opinions, and that's okay.

I just hope everthing stays civil and does not elevate into an out of control mess, the episode aired the way it did and there is nothing any one of us can do to change it.

Now to counter balance all of this hate for Mr. Magee, I will say one positive thing about the character.... "I liked his tie", thank you!
