Given that Foster's is a children's cartoon I don't think that the behaviour or personality traits of any of the characters is intended to display any sort of disorder. When Craig was creating Bloo he didn't sit down with a psychology textbook and review the clinical definition of narcissism; he just said "self-centered" and went from there. The characters behaviours and personalities are intended to be funny, period, and no amount of fan overanalysis will ever change that.
