Mr. Herriman - Page 7 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Lynnie · 10-18-2007, 09:46 PM

What I like most about Mr. H is his air of the guilded age, his gentlemanly nature, and his spiffy white spats. I like spats, 'tis a shame they're not in fashion anymore. I got my dad a pair once to wear with his Dickens' style Christmas caroling outfit, but I don't think he ever wore them. I could steal them back, wear them with patent shoes, and they'd look like two tone button boots. Only men wore spats, but now days, who's to know the difference when a lady wears a pair with an Edwardian dress costume?

Mr Herriman sure has a lot of contrast to most of the other characters, and I quite like that about him. While a cast of crazy characters is a lot of fun, you still need someone around to try and keep the sanity. One thing I always thought was funny about him was the fact that he dresses so smartly and acts so serious, but the bottom line is he's a rabbit so he bounces around everywhere. It just made me smile seeing someone like that jumping all over the place.

And while I often find it funny when Bloo gets on Herriman's nerves and breaks his rules, I've always had a soft spot for Herriman, because his appearance reminds me so much of the grey and white lop-eared rabbit I owned as a kid. Personality-wise my own rabbit was completely different but still.

Mr. Herriman has a ridiculously broad vocabulary; Mme Foster must've been quite an intelligent child to have spawned such an IF, or maybe kids DID learn something in school back then. Hmm...

Some of my favorite Herry word-of-the-days (or at least, some that I have heard before but finally forced myself to look up in the dictionary):

ragamuffin
poppycock
thingamajig
lollygagging

Do you know that his name is HARRY?

... once upon the time he says to Frankie "Call me Harry" (and then he gets crazy).

Ub3rD4n · 05-21-2008, 04:53 AM

I don't think that was his name, I think he just wanted a cool nickname for himself and came up with "Herry"

L.G. · 07-12-2008, 04:25 PM

I realize Mr. H likes to keep everything organized, but alphabetizing trash?! A bit much methinks. And unless I'm mistaken, I don't remember him giving Frankie a simple "Thank You" for maintaining the house and also for putting up with his most absurd requests.

You're not mistaken. No one ever thanks her, except Goofball that one time.

Mr. Herriman nonetheless remains one of my favorite characters. I loved his antics in Crime After Crime and Bloo Superdude (he'd make a great dictator), and I regard his line "I dislike you with great intensity" from Squeakerboxxx as one of the funniest of the entire series. Something about the stuffy old rabbit always makes me smile

That's why they call him "Funny Bunny."

I'm not sure why, exactly, but Herriman has been my favorite since the begining. Could it be because of his accent, his gentleman like airs, the way he acts over protective to Madame Foster at times, and so on? (Maybe even because so many people seem to dislike him!) I think it's because I know, deep down, he's as kind hearted as the rest. "World Wide Wabbit" really showed how much he cared about his creator, and just how strong their bond is.

(OOC Herriman is the best too! Man...I love that Funny Bunny!)

I have always liked Herriman's victorian ways. He is an underrated character (unfortunately). He may not be with the times (like Frankie), but he knows what is right. Mind you, this is coming from a Frankie fanboy!
