* Also Wilt's {{backstory}}. Y'know how he's missing an arm and has a wonky eye and in the first episode, he explains he used to play basketball but now can't? It is because one of his basketball opponents '''slammed him into a wall''', crushing his arm beyond repair and (although not actually shown but fairly obviously implied) causing it to be amputated. And the wonky eye? The basketball landed on it, permanently damaging it.

-->'''Frankie:''' (''with a deranged look on her face'') Must stop eating cookies… such delicious sugary goodness… NEVER! (''shoves another cookie in her mouth'') Cookies are your friend! You shall give in to the power of the triple chocolate! I’ve loved them since I was a baby, and she never gave me enough. (''eats a bunch more cookies'') So you need to eat MORE! As many as you can! ''LET NO ONE STOP YOU! HELP!!!!''

** and keep in mind that bloo is basically a child and a grown man put him through all that, just imagine this happening to a human child.

* We all know that Berry is a {{Yandere}} to the highest order, but then there's "Affair Weather Friends". She kidnaps a family, hijacks a large house and disguises herself as a rich kid to lure Bloo away from Mac and keep him to herself. Oh and she has a StalkerShrine. She also attempted to run Mac over with a toy train.

* Coco's backstory is even sadder. The creator of the show confirmed on his [[Website/DeviantArt DeviantArt]] page that Coco was born by a girl whose plane crashed on a deserted island. Her body is what the girl was exposed to on the island (the palm tree, the deflated life raft, the mangled plane, and her sunburnt feet). She also gets her name from the fact that the girl survived on coconuts every day. The reason Coco is so goofy is because her creator's mental health was deteriorating from being stuck on the island for an extended period of time.

** A ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes gag in "Blooooo" shows that [[spoiler: the crushed eyestalk doesn't see, so Wilt only has one working arm and one working eye]].
** [[spoiler: It's done again in Destination: Imagination. But both his eyes are seen in the gag]].

* The episode where Bloo accidentally gives Mr. Herriman a heart attack from his Halloween prank and he comes back as a zombie,thus ,making a ZombieApocalypse [[spoiler: Sure it was a prank to get back at Bloo, but it was still damn creepy!]]

* Goo in general. She herself isn't scary, but the fact that she has no control over creating imaginary friends, to the point that her parents stop by often (they actually give a measurement of time in the show, every few weeks or something like that) to drop off bumper crops of friends she's created by accident. At one point she thinks that she's got it under control, only to wake up one morning with her room full of friends that she described earlier in the episode but thought she had suppressed. It turns out that if she falls alseep while still thinking of imaginary friends, they become real. It ends up getting played for laughs in the group picture episode, where Herriman asks her to make a few friends that are similar to ones that just got adopted so that he doesn't have to rearrange everyone. She spends most of the episode refusing to do it (as she's fully aware of how much of a problem her power is), but they eventually slip out when she's a little distracted; she's pretty shocked by it, but Herriman takes it all in stride because now the picture is back on track.

* The very idea behind the Extremeasauruses. These are imaginary friends cooked up by jerky teenage boys... and they act less sentient and more like wild vicious animals. The very first episode had one that was BASICALLY [[spoiler:a very large [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros Chain Chomp]] and nearly ate Bloo!]] Oh and one episode featured new Extrameasauruses. What are they you ask? DRAGONS.

* "Mac Daddy" has a scene where Bloo, after having been annoyed with Cheese all day starts looking for him after he gets lost. Mac tells him Cheese could get into trouble if left by himself. Hearing that, Bloo starts to [[PrimalFear imagine Cheese getting hurt by random objects he finds.]] As he gets increasingly worried, the imagine spots gradually come at a faster pace and start getting more and more intense. Sure, a lot of it is funny, but [[AdultFear Bloo's worry and the realization that, yes, someone as stupid as Cheese IS very likely to get hurt if left on his own]] starts getting to you after a bit. The crudely-drawn imagine spots and the out-of-tune music playing both complement the distressing imagery to the point that it becomes disturbing. However, the worst part is when Bloo sees the large knife on the kitchen counter. We then cut back to Mac who jumps in shock when he hears Bloo scream off-screen. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what Bloo was thinking if Cheese got his hands on something as lethal as a knife.

* Frankie’s addiction to [[GRatedDrug Madame Foster’s cookies]] in “Cookie Dough”. At first, it’s PlayedForLaughs and a bit understandable while she’s stocking up on them, as Madame Foster only makes them once a year. But then Bloo gets a hold of the recipe and starts selling more. As the episode goes on, her behavior gets pretty disturbing. She starts sleeping outside the cookie stand, and gets incredibly irritable when Mac arrives ''2 and a half minutes'' late. It then later cuts to her holed up in her room gorging herself on cookies. It all comes to a head when Mac goes to ask her for help in talking sense into Bloo, we see that [[SanitySlippage she has gone completely off the deep end]], shoveling cookie after cookie into her mouth and surrounded by dozens, maybe ''hundreds'', of empty boxes. Mac is so freaked out by this, that all he can do is [[BackingAwaySlowly slowly back out of the room]] and shut the door behind him.

* Kip Snip the producer's horrible treatment of Bloo in "Sweet Stench of Success". He makes Bloo sleep in a pet cage, feeds him little to nothing and sees him as a piece of property rather than a sentient creature. Finally, when Bloo has had enough and tells him he quits and just wants to eat something and go back to Foster's, Kip drops his nice guy act and tells Bloo he can't go back. Why? Because Bloo didn't sign an acting contract, but '''adoption papers''', which means he ''is'' his property.

* It's a more subtle one, but it puts what Charlie said about food imaginary friends ending up as...well, food in "Dinner is Swerved" into perspective. In "Seeing Red", before imagining the title character, Terrence unwittingly imagines a pizza slice friend that says "Howdy Do! I love you!". Then he EATS IT! YOU CAN EVEN HEAR IT SCREAM IN TERROR AS IT'S EATEN! This episode without a doubt PROVES that while imaginary friend may not die of old age, they're just as mortal as we are!
