EDIT: The awesome bloonuggets wrote a better list here.
![]() (I THINK this is in the right forum... move it if it isn't, please. >> Eheh.) I dunno about you folks, but I LOVE puns. %B Not groan-inducing ones, of course--I hate those as much as the next person. Puns are common jokes that are rarely ever laugh-out-loud funny, but I find them highly amusing anyway. I love the puns in the Foster's episode titles, even though, I know, every other cartoon does the same thing. Still, I'm trying to compile a list of the puns (and other literary devices) in the ep titles, and need a bit of help completing the list. Some ep titles I have no idea about, some I have a vague idea about but am not sure. Episodes Store Wars - Star Wars The Trouble with Scribbles - The Trouble with Tribbles Busted - generic pun ("busted" as in "broken" and "in trouble," as well as "bust," the type of statue that was broken in the episode) Dinner Is Swerved - Dinner Is Served World Wide Wabbit - World Wide Web Berry Scary - Very Scary Seeing Red - Seeing Red (same phrase, different meaning: "seeing red" as in being very angry, and "seeing Red" as in seeing the imaginary friend, Red )Phone Home - exact phrase Who Let the Dogs In? - Who Let the Dogs Out Adoptcalypse Now - Apocalypse Now Bloooo - Boooo (the sound a ghost supposedly makes) Partying Is Such Sweet Soiree - Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow The Big Lablooski - The Big Lebowski Where There's a Wilt There's a Way - Where There's a Will There's a Way Everyone Knows It's Bendy - Everyone Knows It's Windy Sight for Sore Eyes - exact phrase Bloo's Brothers - The Blues Brothers Cookie Dough - generic pun ("dough" as in "flour or meal combined with water, milk, etc., in a mass for baking into bread" and "money") Frankie My Dear - Frankly My Dear Mac Daddy - Mac Daddy (same phrase, different meaning: "mac daddy" as in "pimp" and "Mac daddy" as in Mac apparently being Cheese's father/creator) Squeakerboxxx - Speakerboxxx Beat with a Shtick - Beat with a Stick (?) The Sweet Stench of Success - The Sweet Smell of Success Bye Bye Nerdy - Bye Bye Birdy Bloo Done It - Who Done It (?) My So Called Wife - My So Called Life Eddie Monster - Eddie Munster (?) Hiccy Burp - Hikky Burr Camp Keep a Good Mac Down - (You) Can't Keep a Good Man Down Imposter's Home for um... Make 'Em Up Pals - no pun; parody (the show's title )Duchess of Wails - Duchess of Wales Foster's Goes to Europe - no pun (?) Go Goo Go - no pun; alliteration (Go, Goo, Go; plus the fact that the name "Goo" looks similar to the word "Go") Crime after Crime - Time after Time (?) Land of the Flea - Land of the Free One False Movie - One False Move Setting a President - Setting a Precedent (?) Room with a Feud - Room with a View Cuckoo for Coco Cards - Cuckoo for Coco Puffs Challenge of the Super Friends - SuperFriends The Big Picture - The Big Picture (same phrase, different meaning: "the big picture" as in "the whole idea" and basically a giant picture, like the one being taken in the episode) Squeeze the Day - Seize the Day Neighbor Pains - Labor Pains (?) Infernal Slumber - Eternal Slumber/Infernal Summer I Only Have Surprise for You - I Only Have Eyes for You Bus the Two of Us - Just the Two of Us The Big Cheese - exact phrase Bloo's the Boss - Who's the Boss (?) Emancipation Complication - Emancipation Proclamation Make Believe It or Not - Believe It or Not Cheese A Go-Go - Monsters a Go-Go The Buck Swaps Here - The Buck Stops Here Say It Isn't Sew - Say It Isn't So Something Old, Something Bloo - Something Old, Something Blue The Bloo Superdude and the Magic Potato of Power - parody of cheesy movie titles (?) Shlock Star - Rock Star The Bride to Beat - The Bride to Be (?) Affair Weather Friends - Fair Weather Friends Ticket to Rod - Ticket to Ride Better Off Ed - Better Off Dead Specials House of Bloo's - House of Blues A Lost Clause - A Lost Cause Good Wilt Hunting - Good Will Hunting Nightmare on Wilson Way - Nightmare on Elm Street Shorts Driving Miss Crazy - Driving Miss Daisy Neighborhood Wash - Neighborhood Watch All Zapped Up - All Hyped Up Bad to the Phone - Bad to the Bone Truth or Stare - Truth or Dare Cranks a Lot - Thanks a Lot A Chore Thing - A Sure Thing Hide and Bloo Seek - Hide and Go Seek Badvertisement - Advertisement Give Pizza a Chance - Give Peace a Chance Drawing Bored - Drawing Board A Fistful of Cereal - A Fistful of Dollars Petrified Pet - no pun; alliteration and assonance (petrified, pet) Coconuts - exact phrase Penpal - exact phrase Here Kitty Kitty - exact phrase Birthday Cake Bloos - Birthday Cake Blues (?) Backpack Attack - no pun; rhyme (backpack, attack) Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow - Here Today, Gone Tomorrow *THUD* What can I say? I'm too sick to go to class and don't have anything better to do. (...Well I do, but I don't feel like doing it at the moment. )Anyway, inform me if I missed any titles. (I got the list from Wiki.) As well, if anyone can confirm or correct the phrases I have followed by a question mark in parenthesis and figure out what the pun is (if there's one at all) in the titles followed by a question mark, that would be awesomegreat!
