*BatteredBouquet: A non-romantic example; Terrence creates his own imaginary friend named Red to smash Bloo, Mac's imaginary friend. However, Red is very bad at being bad, preferring to sniff flowers instead of smashing Bloo. When he brings Terrence a flower, Terrence destroys the flower to show him what he should be doing to Bloo. After Bloo causes a series of AmusingInjuries to Red, Red breaks down in tears. Bloo then realizes he went too far and gives Red some flowers to apologize to him. However, Terrence witnesses this and destroys the flowers while calling Red out for being useless. It is at this point that Red has had enough of Terrence bullying him and turns against him, beating him up.
