Niles Crane from
Frasier once mentioned something about having an "imaginary protege" named Sheldon as a kid, to whom Frasier referred as "that troubled little fellow who kept wetting your bed." So, definitely a Bendy type. (Episode:
Dad Loves Sherry, the Boys Just Whine)
There is apparently an entire movie dedicated to the subject of imaginary friends called
Drop Dead Fred, or something along those lines, but I've never seen it myself so I can't vouch for whether it's actually worth watching or not.
That's all I can think of for now, though there are probably a lot more. I'll let you know if they come back to me.
EDIT: Oh yes, how could I forget? Harvey, the original 6ft imaginary bunny (with no disrespect to Mr. H, who is a fantastic successor).
