Goo Goo Ga Ga

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goo_3316.jpg
At least she'll never misuse the Spore Creature Creator.

Voiced by: Grey DeLisle

An extremely talkative girl who has imagined LOTS of friends.


  • Aerith and Bob: "Goo" alone is already an unusual name, but her very full name being the babbling of an infant is full-on embarrassing.
  • Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: She's even more easily distracted than Bloo is.
  • Back for the Finale: "Goodbye To Bloo" was her only appearance in Season 6.
  • Birds of a Feather: Literally with Coco, as they're both Cloudcuckoolanders with a love for strange things.
  • Break the Cutie: While she did deserve it to some extent due to how endlessly annoying she was, Mac's "Reason You Suck" Speech to her causes Goo to enter a state of depression and despair where she starts to create tears as imaginary friends.
  • Cheerful Child: Goo is very hyperactive and quick-witted.
  • Childish Tooth Gap: Has a notable gap in between her front teeth that epitomizes her childishness.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: She lives on a completely different plane of reality. It's partially because she was raised by Hippie Parents.
  • Crash-Into Hello: Mac first meets her by accidentally falling on her.
  • The Cutie: A cute little girl with endless curiosity, a Childish Tooth Gap, Youthful Freckles, and Girlish Pigtails.
  • Embarrassing First Name: Would you be okay with the fact that your name is "Goo?" Because apparently, she is.
  • Everything's Better with Rainbows: She seems to think so, what with her rainbow-colored outfits.
  • Friendless Background: The reason she makes up all of those imaginary friends.
    Goo: (after imagining a bunch of cute little tear drop friends) Do you know why I make up so many imaginary friends? Because I don't have any real friends. You were right, Mac. Everyone thinks I'm a weirdo. That's why I make up so many friends so I would have someone who likes me.
  • Genki Girl: She's got way too much energy. She's almost at the level of Mac when he's had too much sugar.
  • Girlish Pigtails: She wears pigtails to portray her youth.
  • Jerkass Ball: She's a complete control freak in "Neighbor Pains", though it was for a good cause.
  • Late to the Realization: For some reason she thinks that Mr. Herriman is a badger instead of a rabbit, no matter how many times she is told otherwise. She finally realizes this herself in "Bus the Two of Us" when she is asked by Coco and Wilt to create a fake Mr. Herriman. Her first version is a badger version, and after Wilt once again tells her Mr. Herriman is a rabbit, she goes into a rant about all the features rabbits have, only to realize this describes Herriman exactly.
  • Leitmotif: Whenever she appears, expect a crazy carnival-like tune to begin playing.
  • Ms. Imagination: Unlike Mac, she'll just create whatever imaginary friend comes to her mind. She later tries to put a stop to it, though she once made one to help Mr. Herriman, exactly as he asks for, by accident.
  • Motor Mouth: She constantly speaks a mile a minute.
  • Nice Girl: Wacky to a fault, but she's possibly the only character to have never even said anything malicious to anyone.
  • Open-Minded Parent: Both her parents are stated to be this (and possibly Hippie Parents too). Could be seen as a deconstruction too; her parents are implied to be way too open-minded, as they not only let her choose her own name as a baby (which is why she's named "Goo Goo Ga Ga") and allows her to dream up all those imaginary friends because they don't want to "stifle her creative mind", even though this terribly burdens Foster's Home and keeps her from actually making friends with the ones she's already made.
  • Out of Focus: Her debut was in Season 3, then she became a Recurring Character in Season 4, she makes a minor appearance in Season 5, and she had a long absence after that until she was Back for the Finale.
  • Reality Warper: In a way. Her imaginary friends are bound by whatever rules she makes for them, and the laws of physics will bend around them to make it so.
  • Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: Energetic Girl to Mac's Savvy Guy. Goo is very hyperactive and idealistic, while Mac is a pragmatic Adorably Precocious Child.
  • Ship Tease: With Mac in "Go Goo Go". He held her hand to lead her out of Foster's, and she asked him slyly why he was doing that, which led many residents of Foster's to believe they were going steady, which Mac denies. This nearly gets Mac banned from Foster's since, as Frankie put it, "She only comes to see you and you won't tell her to leave." The episode was even titled "The Dreamy Girlfriend" in the Japanese dub.
  • Vague Age: Goo looks like she's around 10-12 years old, but it's never specified.
  • Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: She herself lampshades that no parent would ever name their kid "Goo Goo Ga Ga".
  • Youthful Freckles: She has freckles above her nose.

    Terrence 

Terrence

"Wait, stop! He just wants to punch you!"

Voiced by: Tara Strong

Mac's evil 13-year old brother, and one of the recurring antagonists of the series.


  • Admiring the Abomination: His reaction upon seeing an Extremesaur up close for the first time is to stare at it in awe and call it "awesome". There's also the junkyard battles between Extremesaurs and other monstrous imaginary friends he regularly attends.
  • Aloof Big Brother: He and Mac are not very close to say the least and "aloof" is his nicest.
  • Ax-Crazy: He tries to downright kill Mac and makes very violent threats towards him that shows he can be this.
  • Babysitter from Hell: He's supposed to be Mac's babysitter while their mother is gone. He's not a very good one, to say the least.
  • Big Bad Duumvirate: He teams up with Duchess in the first episode.
  • Big Brother Bully: He bullies Mac relentlessly. Their mom thinks it's because Mac is too kiddy, but he's probably just a callous jerk.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: In the Pilot episode, he fakes a Nice Guy ego in front of the Foster's staff to adopt Bloo, just to ruthlessly torment him and further psychologically scar Mac.
  • Cain and Abel: The sociopathic Cain to Mac's more humble Abel.
  • Cassandra Truth: In "Infernal Slumber", Bloo has a Slumber Party at Mac's apartment against the latter's wishes (on a school night, no less), and the noise from the party wakes up Terrence. Mac and the Imaginary Friends manage to convince Terrence that he's dreaming, but the next morning, Eduardo accidentally leaves the photos he took behind and breaks a hole in the ceiling of Mac's apartment to get them. In The Stinger, Terrence tells his and Mac's mom that the damage to their apartment's ceiling was caused by Mac and the Imaginary Friends, who had a sleepover there last night. Given Terrence's reputation as a troublemaker, his mother doesn't believe him and tells him that he is grounded.
  • Childish Older Sibling: As the older sibling who's expected to be more responsible, he's incredibly immature and stupid for a 13-year-old boy. Not only does he unjustifiably bully Mac and pull childish pranks on him like giving him a wedgie, but his IQ is also in line with that of an infant, not even being able to tell the difference between two different colors. Is it surprising why Mom seems to trust Mac more than him?
  • Demoted to Extra: After playing a really important role in the series premiere, Terrence became more of a minor character as the series went on. It got to the point where he was eventually Out of Focus by the last two seasons that some viewers forgot that Mac even had a brother. Though considering that his voice actor Tara Strong has said that he was her least favorite character to do due to his gruff voice being such a strain on her vocal chords, his lack of appearances in the later half of the series was likely a result of that.
  • Disappeared Dad: No appearance or mention of his and Mac's father is ever made.
  • Disappointing Older Sibling: Mac views Terrence as a bad influence on account of all the times he's been bullied and tormented by him, and his overall lack of trustworthiness.
  • The Ditz: He's incredibly stupid. He can't even tell the difference between red and green.
  • Dumbass Teenage Son: Terrence is a total doofus, as referred to in-universe.
  • Dumb Muscle: Although appearing very skinny and weak, he's punched a hole in a wall, is able to carry Mac with one hand, and is able to get up with Eduardo, Wilt, Coco, Goo, and Bloo on his back.
  • Emotional Regression: Terrence behaves like a spoiled little boy whenever his mom finds out about his bullying of Mac.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Hilariously subverted in the pilot episode. When he gives his speech to Duchess about how he's disgusted that Duchess would ever contemplate taking Bloo out of existence for good, he unpredictably asks how she does it and is very eager to formulate the plan.
  • Evil Sounds Raspy: Terrence speaks in a very gruff voice.
  • Flat Character: Of the worst kind possible. He exists solely to bully Mac in horrendous and downright sociopathic ways.
  • Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The foolish to Mac's responsible. He's the Dumbass Teenage Son of the family while Mac is a precocious and responsible 8-year-old.
  • Gonk: The most visually unappealing character in the show, what with his crooked teeth and bad case of acne.
  • Hate Sink: His entire existence pretty much hinges on how unpleasant he is.
  • Hated by All: Nobody likes him, and they usually rejoice when he gets his just desserts, knowing full well that he deserves it.
  • Hidden Depths:
    • Who'd have guessed that Terrence of all people would be a fan of The Loved and the Loveless?
    • In the pilot movie, when Duchess proposes an alliance to wipe Bloo out, Terrance is noticeably disgusted by her and tries to get away from her, implying that he knows how to handle Stranger Danger. He accepts when Duchess makes her point clearer, but still.
  • House Fire: He caused one in "Fools and Regulations" to his and Mac's apartment building, which Terrence made a deal with Mac not to tell Mom in exchange for his bag of video games.
  • Inconsistent Spelling: His name is occasionally misspelled "Terrance".
  • Insufferable Imbecile: He's a sadistic and sociopathic Jerkass who solely exists to ruthlessly torment his little brother. That aside, he's so incredibly stupid that he can't tell the difference between green and red, mistook Singapore, Malaysia, and Wisconsin as the same countries, and even has the people in his dreams speak in syllable-emphasized speech.
  • Jerkass: He's not a nice guy. And unlike most other unpleasant characters in the show, he has no redeeming qualities.
  • Karmic Butt-Monkey: He usually meets his own end in a played-for-laughs kind of way, and due to his Jerkass ways, he's such a deserving victim.
  • Kick the Dog: In "Seeing Red", he imagines a pizza friend into existence and then devours it alive as it screams loudly in pain.
  • Kill the Cutie: The sentient pizza he devoured in "Seeing Red".
  • Laser-Guided Karma: In episodes where he plays a big role in, he would usually suffer a nasty fate, such as being attacked by the unicorns, swallowed and later spit out by an imaginary sea monster, getting chased by imaginary bees, and feeling the electric wrath of an Extremesaur and peeing himself afterward.
  • Laughably Evil: Terrence is an unrepentantly rude Sadist, but his stupidity makes his antagonistic behavior hilarious to watch at times.
  • Lean and Mean: Although he's pretty strong for his size.
  • Leitmotif: He always has a metal theme play when he shows up.
  • Muscles Are Meaningless: Despite the fact that he's thin and spindly, he's much stronger than an average 13-year-old.
  • Only One Name: His family surname has yet to be revealed.
  • Out of Focus: In seasons five and six, he played a much less vital role.
  • Pet the Dog:
    • "Fools and Regulations" has Terrence lending his video game collection to Mac in exchange for his silence to their mom (he'd set a fire in their house). Considering that Terrence could have just as easily used physical bullying to get Mac to comply, it was remarkably kind of him.
    • In "Eddie Monster", Terrence teams up with Eduardo and compliments him on his acts of bravery. He also made him a costume and gave him a bag of potatoes; he even peeled them. Granted, he was using Eduardo to his own advantage, but still showed generosity nonetheless.
    • In "Seeing Red", Terrence shows genuine respect to his imaginary friend Red, and only started treating him badly when he messed up his schemes and knowingly disobeyed his orders.
  • Playing the Victim Card: Terrence behaves like a spoiled Momma's Boy whenever his mother walks in on him bullying of Mac. Unfortunately for him, his mother doesn't buy it.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: Despite his intimidating nature, he's shown to be a fan of soap operas.
  • Red and Black and Evil All Over: His attire includes a red collared shirt and a black t-shirt, and he's a Big Brother Bully to the nth degree.
  • Sadist: The way he bullies Mac goes well beyond sociopathic behavior.
  • Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The manly to Mac's sensitive. Terrence is a physically aggressive Big Brother Bully while Mac is emotionally sensitive to his torment.
  • Series Goal: To keep Mac and Bloo separated from each other and make both of them miserable.
  • Sibling Rivalry: Taken to extremes with Mac.
  • The Sociopath: One of the few recurring characters on the show to have absolutely no thoughtfulness, integrity, empathy, conscience, or remorse.
  • Teens Are Monsters: He's a teenager who bullies his little brother and in general is very unlikable.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: He was the main antagonist of season one, but he seems to have his cruel behavior toned down since season two when it comes to interacting with others. He's still a Jerkass, but he actually has Pet the Dog moments as well as Hidden Depths of loving soap operas when it's not with his Sibling Rivalry with Mac.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Terrence has a fondness for pizza. In "Seeing Red", he eats an anthropomorphic slice of pizza that came to life per his imagination, and one of the Foster's Leapster games mentions that it's his favorite food.
  • Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Of the teenage variety, of course. He exists solely to bully Mac in the most sociopathic ways, even going as far to lock him inside a box with the Extremesaur to electrocute him!
  • Unmanly Secret: He's a fan of The Loved and the Loveless.
  • Wedgie: He gives one to Mac as part of his being a Big Brother Bully.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Downplayed as his abuse towards Mac is rooted in Sibling Rivalry and he's just 13 himself, but he's physically bullied Mac on more than a few occasions, who's five times his junior.

Mac's Mom

A colleague of Sara Bellum, perhaps?

Voiced by: Grey Delisle

Mac and Terrence's mother, who made Mac get rid of Bloo in the first place, but is unaware of his daily visits to Foster's. She works all day, and Mac hardly ever gets to see her.


  • Adults Are Useless: Zig-zagged. Mac's mom is usually too busy to see Mac or deal with Terrence's bullying but unlike most cartoon moms, she's not oblivious to the abuse that Mac goes through, and tries to stop it. But to her, the problem is Bloo, and the series kicks off with her forcing Mac to get rid of Bloo. And the rest of series, she is completely unaware of the fact that Mac visits Bloo at Foster's everyday. The latter is more to do with the fact that Mac's afraid of how she'll react than anything else.
  • The Faceless: Her face is never shown. We see the back of her head and what she looks like below the neck but never her face.
  • Hartman Hips: She has a sizeable lower body.
  • Out of Focus: She is not seen in seasons 2, 5, and 6 aside from being mentioned, she makes her last appearance in "I Only Have Surprise For You". Though, she does work a lot, so this would be justified.
  • Parental Obliviousness: She doesn't notice that Mac goes to Foster's every day. Her having "a million jobs" partially justifies this, but there was a reason the show's writers got The Unintelligible Coco to explain how he convinced his mother to let him go on a TRIP TO EUROPE with people she's never met.
  • Struggling Single Mother: Implied. Mac says she has multiple jobs and she's hardly ever at home, and Mac and Terrence's father is very clearly not in the picture. She loves her kids, but isn't very present.
  • Unnamed Parent: "Mac's mom" is all we have to call her by. Fans call her "Rita".
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist:
    • She tries to stop Terrance's abuse of Mac... By asking Mac to send away Bloo, who despite being imaginary is every bit as alive as his human companions.
    • When Duchess becomes their next-door neighbor and is too much for Mac's family to bear, she goes so far as to arrange for everyone to move to Singapore (at least, according to Terrence) just to get away from her.
  • When You Coming Home, Dad?: She hardly ever gets to see Mac, because she works all day every day.

Slimeball of the month, folks.

Voiced by: Tom Kenny

A greedy and devious Hollywood producer seen in "Sweet Stench of Success", who tried to exploit Bloo for his own gain.


  • Con Man: The deodorant he sells is actually a phony. It fact, it makes people smell worse.
  • Expy: Of Dick Hardly from the The Powerpuff Girls (1998) episode "Knock It Off". Sleazy, blond, manipulative and sells poor products. Thankfully, he's FAR less evil.
  • Hate Sink: He treats Bloo like a slave, starving him and constantly overworking and abusing him, and has no comedic moments unlike most of the characters in the show, making it very clear he is supposed to be despised.
  • Horrible Hollywood: He's a Hollywood agent that was going to keep Bloo as his slave. It gets worse when it's revealed he didn't have Bloo sign an acting contract but adoption papers.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: While he did deceive Bloo, he is correct in pointing out that Bloo got himself into the mess.
    Bloo: But I didn't wanna be adopted.
    Kip: [imitating Bloo] But I didn't wanna be adopted— Well, you shouldn't have gone on television saying that you did! You ASKED for this!
  • Laser-Guided Karma: After Bloo admitted on live TV that the deodorant he was selling actually made people smell worse, he's promptly arrested for false advertising, letting out a satisfying Big "NO!" as the police drag him away.
  • Manipulative Bastard: He takes advantage of Bloo's jealousy towards Eduardo for being in commercials, and tricks Bloo into signing what seemed like an acting contract, but are actually adoption papers, so that he could have complete control over him.
  • Monster of the Week: He only appeared in "Sweet Stench of Success", where he was the main antagonist.
  • Rhyming Names: Kip Snip.
  • Sinister Shades: A Con Man who wears shades.

Imaginary friends:

    Cheese 

Cheese

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cheese_3438.jpg
Return to sender: insufficient postage to tolerate smell.

A cheese-based imaginary friend with a childlike disposition; likes chocolate milk and cereal.


  • Absurd Phobia: He is afraid of a lot of unusual things, such as fast go-karts, sheep, cake, and a lack of spoons.
  • Annoying Younger Sibling: He acted like this to Bloo in his debut, annoying him with his idiocy, but he turns out not to be Bloo's brother when it's revealed that he is Louise's imaginary friend.
    Cheese: WE ARE BROTHER LADIES.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: He has a history of unusual behaviors.
  • The Ditz: Cheese is incredibly dumb.
  • Flanderization: From a "four-year-old with special needs" to "barely sentient baby", by only his second major appearance!
  • Genius Ditz: He has a good memory, as we find out in one episode, but it's mostly if he remembers it in song form.
  • Ironic Allergy: Despite being named after a dairy product and liking chocolate milk, he's lactose-intolerant.
  • Meaningful Name: "Cheese" is an appropriate name for an imaginary friend who has a yellow complexion and an apparently unpleasant odor.
  • The Millstone: With the trouble he's known to inadvertently cause, it's a wonder why he's never turned away.
  • No Indoor Voice: When something upsets him, you'll know it. If fact, his role as an Assist Character in Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion is to traipse about shrieking at the top of his lungs!
  • Phrase Catcher: From everyone, it's a variant of "Cheese, you don't live here! Go home!!"
  • Punny Name: A variant; cheese puns are invoked whenever he's paired with someone. "Mac and Cheese", "Bloo Cheese", "Cheese and Crackers", and "Cheese Louise" are mentioned in his introductory episode.
  • Punctuated! For! Emphasis!:
    • "I. Like. Cereal."
    • "I! FOUND! A! CARROT!"
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Subverted. He's mostly harmless. At worst, he's just annoying.
  • Sidekick Creature Nuisance: He's a short feller and he often annoys the other characters.
  • Sweet Tooth: He likes chocolate milk.
  • Talkative Loon: Prone to saying silly and weird statements at random. "I'm a horsey!"
  • The Thing That Would Not Leave: No matter how much they try, Fosters can never seem to get rid of him for too long. Even after getting two separate security systems to lock him out, he still finds his way in. Eventually transforms into the thing that can't leave, since he's sent to Foster's permanently after his creator, Louise, moves somewhere that doesn't allow imaginary friends, leaving Cheese to be a resident of Fosters.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Chocolate milk... we think. He refers to every food as chocolate milk. Also seems to like cereal (we think?).

    Berry 

Berry

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/berry_3423.jpg

Voiced by: Grey DeLisle

A small, cute imaginary friend with a dangerously obsessive crush on Bloo.


  • Ax-Crazy: She doesn't take it well at all when Bloo doesn't return her affections and becomes psychotically obsessed with doing anything she can to get them together.
  • Berserk Button: Whenever Berry feels like someone attempts to sever her ties with Bloo. Berry gets all fired up whenever she just sees Mac.
    • Berry sees a friend take away Bloo's seat at the dinner table.
      Berry: (in a very soft voice): Oh, I'm sorry. That seat's taken.
      Uninvited guy: I'll just be a minute.
      Berry: (explodes) THAT SEAT'S TAKEN!!! (guy runs away)
  • Beware the Nice Ones: She seems nice and cute at first glance. However, once she becomes involved with Bloo, she goes full Yandere on him.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Believe it or not, she's made into this due to having a cute side as first, and then as psychotic side the next second.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: She's so possessive towards Bloo that even his best friend, Mac, poses a threat to her "relationship".
  • Cute and Psycho: A cutesy imaginary friend who isn't right in the head.
  • Fun with Homophones: The alias she uses for her rich kid disguise in "Affair Weather Friends" is "Barry", which results in confusion on Bloo's part when Mac tries to explain to him that the two are the same person.
  • Genki Girl: She's excitable, kind of like Bubbles, but don't let that fool you.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: She tries to run over Mac, who is tied to the World's Largest Rubber Band Ball, with a train. Thanks to Bloo thinking for once, she misses and ends up stuck on it herself and bouncing off into the distance.
  • Latex Perfection: Her disguise as a rich kid named Barry in "Affair Weather Friends" is fairly convincing.
  • Love at First Sight: With Bloo.
  • Love Makes You Crazy: She became a Yandere after meeting Bloo.
  • Manipulative Bitch: In both her appearances, she tries to manipulate Bloo into ending his friendship with Mac so she can have Bloo all for herself. In Berry Scary, she tries to convince Bloo that Mac is the one who holds him back from winning a world record, while in Affair Weather Friends she disguises as a rich boy named Barry with an automatical paddle ball, knowing that Bloo would be tempted.
  • Murder the Hypotenuse : In Berry Scary, she merely tries to keep Mac out of her way. Played completely straight in Affair Weather Friends.
  • Oh, No... Not Again!: After once again being sent away on a giant rubber band ball at the end of "Affair Weather Friends", she screams "Why does this keep happening to me?"
  • Pink Girl, Blue Boy: She's the pink girl to Bloo's blue boy.
  • Psycho Pink: She's a pink imaginary friend who appears cute at first, but becomes very aggressive towards anyone who is a threat to her relationship with Bloo.
  • Stalker with a Crush: Ever since she arrived at Foster's, she has been following Bloo everywhere. Within the span of a few days.
  • Stepford Smiler: A Type C variant.
  • Straw Fan: She was made as a Take That! to The Powerpuff Girls Shippers.
  • Villainous Breakdown: She has one after Mac and Bloo strap her to a giant rubber band ball. She rages about how everything was supposed to be for her and Bloo and yet, Mac ruined it all. Oh, and she also snaps after Bloo gets her name wrong again.
  • Yandere: She's very doting on Bloo, but she flies off the handle if anyone gets in her way or even annoys her.
  • You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry!: Let's face it. She is a girl with a dark side. 'Cause when she's happy, her teeth are not doing anything and she has a HUGE smile on her face. But when she's angry, get away from her, because she has lots of sharp teeth that she could bite you with! Also, when she screams, she screams for a long time, but only when she is strapped to the rolling rubber band ball.

Duchess Diamond Persnickety, the First, Last, and Only

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/duchess_juice_7339.jpg
Truly one of a kind... we hope.

Voiced by: Grey DeLisle

An ugly, snobbish and downright mean aristocratic imaginary friend.


  • Aristocrats Are Evil: It's not clear if she's actually a "duchess" or if it's just a name. She's definitely evil, though.
  • Art Initiates Life: Possibly, considering she looks like a Picasso painting. This may be intentional, as in the few instances where she shifts her pose she's shown to be completely flat as though she were an actual artpiece.
  • Big Bad Duumvirate: With Terrence in the first episode.
  • Characterization Marches On: "House of Bloos" is actually only time where Duchess is legitmately evil, conspiring to have Bloo killed because he was preferred over her by a potential adopter. After this, she is mostly a harmless Spoiled Brat whose biggest crime is being mean, bossy, and self-centered.
  • Cheated Angle: Her face is always shown in profile no matter what angle we see her from.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Duchess is such an expert at being so sarcastic she uses it as her first language. In fact she is arguably one of the most sarcastic cartoon characters ever created.
  • Enlightened Self-Interest: She decides to give Eduardo a makeover in "The Big Picture", something pretty unusual for her to say the least as Ed himself points out. This isn't out of kindness though; she and Eduardo are next to each other in the annual house photo and she doesn't want him to make her look bad.
  • Entitled Bastard: Her morning routine provides a perfect example, to the point where she expects Frankie to open her eyes for her. She believes the entire world has to bend to her whim as a "masterpiece".
  • Fate Worse than Death: She hates living in Foster's residence to the point she would rather remain with whomever adopts her than return back to Foster's, even if it's downgrade from fancy living. In fact, her punishment from Mr. Herriman in the pilot is to stay in Foster's rather than expulsion as no one could think of a better punishment for her.
  • Fluffy Tamer: Can exert near-perfect control over an Extremosaur in the first episode. She speaks to it affectionately with Baby Talk to boot.
  • Hated by All: Nobody in the series likes her at all and she has been passed up for all adoptions except by the Applebees, who unfortunately live right next door to Mac.
  • Hate Sink: Her entire purpose on the show is her being a spoiled snob who bosses the others around and has little respect for anyone around her.
  • It's All About Me: In the pilot, she plots to kill Bloo simply because the daughter of a rich family wanted him instead of her. Though she never goes to these lengths again, she is very demanding of every one around her.
  • Jerkass: She's such an unpleasant person that she makes Bloo look like a saint.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: In "Partying is Such Sweet Soiree", Bloo tricks Mr. Herriman into chasing a runaway refrigerator so he can throw a wild party in the house against Madame Foster's wishes. The noise from the party interrupts Duchess's sleep, and she knows that Bloo has disobeyed Madame Foster's warning, planning to rat him out to get him expelled from Foster's. It's a nasty trick, but Bloo is breaking one of the cardinal rules of the house. Even Mac has to side with her in this situation.
  • Karma Houdini: At best, Duchess doesn't get any sort of long-term adoption because of her Jerkass nature and the one time she does get adopted, it's a detriment to Mac's sanity. This in spite of the fact that the series' pilot has her trying to murder Bloo.
  • Misanthrope Supreme: She's so utterly self-absorbed that she despies everyone else in the world simply because they aren't her. The only time she's only remotely able to be civil is when she's using other people to get what she wants, and even then she doesn't treat them with any sort of respect.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: As noted below, she actually manages to give Uncle Pockets a compliment when interviewed about him. It's not much of one—"Eh, tolerable"—but considering that she actively hates anyone and everyone who isn't herself, it's a sign of just how beloved and friendly Uncle Pockets is to the whole of Foster's.
  • Pet the Dog: Even Duchess can't bring herself to hate Uncle Pockets. When Bloo interviewed her in the hopes of finding someone willing to slander him, she calmly replies "Eh, tolerable." Seems small, but coming from Duchess, that's a pretty big compliment.
  • Rich Bitch: She acts the part, but she's an imaginary friend so she doesn't have any real money.
  • Riddle for the Ages: Who on Earth imagined her? It's hard to picture any child willing such an awful creature into existence, but no evidence or backstory is ever given for her origin.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: Her full, self-styled title is Her Royal Duchess Diamond Persnickety, the First, Last and Only. She clearly thinks way too much of herself.
  • Smug Snake: She thinks that she's perfection. Nothing could be further from the truth.
  • The Sociopath: A kid-friendly version of one. She is only concerned with herself (with an incredibly massive ego to boot), has no empathy or capacity for emotion beyond disdain and anger, and views everyone else in the world as either people who should serve her every whim or means to whatever end she's trying to achieve.
  • The Stool Pigeon: In the episode "Partying is Such a Sweet Soirée". Since the party loud and keeping her from sleep, she tries throughout the episode to call Madame Foster and get it shut down.
  • Tantrum Throwing: She gets everybody to bow to her commands because she's able to scream and yell for an indefinite amount of time without even a moment's pause.
    • In the online game "Simply Smashing", she throws a tantrum and tries to destroy every valuable object at Foster's, with the player (as Frankie) catching them as she throws them from a balcony above.
  • That Came Out Wrong: In the pilot, she suggests to Mac's brother Terrence that they work together, but the way she puts it grosses out Terrence because he mistakes it for Duchess coming on to him.
    Duchess: You and I should hook up!
    Terrence: Oh, man! I think I'm gonna be sick!

He's got that look in his eye.

Voiced by: Phil LaMarr

A small, green, furry imaginary friend with a deep voice, one eye, and a cool personality.


  • Ascended Extra: Started out as a minor background character before being given more focus.
  • Clueless Detective: Jackie Khones and the Case of the Overdue Library Crook shows that Jackie fancies himself a detective. He is so so so so so bad at it.
  • Cyclops: His entire head is a single eye.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Has a dry wit.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: In spite of his wittiness and apathetic personality, he can be nice to his friends.
  • Last-Name Basis: He's almost always called "Khones".
  • Official Couple: With Fluffer Nutter. Maybe. This is hinted in three episodes, and they were also seen dancing together at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2007 and 2008.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: He thinks he's better than everyone else.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Sandwiches. He once sued Madame Foster over it.
  • Tuckerization: His name is a Spoonerism of Cartoon Network executive Khaki Jones.
  • Unknown Rival: Has something against Wilt. A lot of things. It's implied in both "Say It Isn't Sew" and "Jackie Khones and the Case of the Overdue Library Crook" that it's because of Wilt's general kindness and excessive apologizing. In "Read 'Em and Weep", he even states in a proposed video will, that if he dies, he wants to divide all his belongings between the house — "except for Wilt. That sucker don't get squat".
  • Vocal Dissonance: A small imaginary friend with a very deep-sounding voice.

A tiny pink squirrel imaginary friend who was created by a motorcyclist.


  • Ascended Extra: Not to the extent of Jackie, but she gains more prominence in the later seasons.
  • Badass Adorable: An adorable squirrel, and a badass motorcyclist to boot.
  • Official Couple: With Jackie Khones. Maybe. This is hinted in three episodes, and they were also seen dancing together at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2007 and 2008.

    Yogi Boo Boo 

Yogi Boo Boo

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/506_0093.jpg

Voiced by: Tom Kenny

A green, polka-dotted giraffe-like imaginary friend who speaks with an Indian accent and is a vegetarian.


  • Art Evolution: In several episodes in seasons one and two, namely "House of Bloo's" and "Bloo Done It", Yogi is drawn with outlines around his body. But starting with "Beat with a Schtick", he is drawn without them. This is particularly weird, as "Beat with a Schtick" was produced and aired before "Bloo Done It". Likely a case of Depending on the Artist, as the two episodes were animated by different studios.note 
  • Does Not Like Spam: It's revealed in "Bad Dare Day" that Yogi has a strict moral code on veganism and won't eat meat. Mac uses this to his advantage during the dare-off in said episode, by daring him to kiss Sam Burger (an imaginary friend who resembles an anthropomorphic hamburger), forcing him to drop out.
  • Funny Foreigner: While its unknown whether or not his creator is Indian, Yogi definitely has the accent to prove it.
  • Hidden Depths: He's a pretty good guitarist.
  • No Mouth: Has a very prominent mustache that conveniently covers his mouth, similar to another character from a Craig McCracken show that Tom Kenny also voiced.
  • Shout-Out: His name is a shout out of two characters from Yogi Bear: the eponymous character and Boo Boo Bear.

  • Lethal Chef: In Bad Dare Day, he makes Mexican food for someone being dared to eat it. The person refused out of fear.
  • The Quiet One: Speaks even less than his bandmates despite being the leader.

Reinforcing gender roles one slapfight at a time!

Voiced by: Daran Norris (Imaginary Man), Grey DeLisle (Nemesis)

A superhero imaginary friend and his arch-nemesis, a supervillainess imaginary friend.


Both
  • Achilles' Heel: Nemesis' hair and Imaginary Man's masculinity.
  • Arch-Enemy: To each other. Though it's implied that it's all just a game.
  • Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: If anyone but each other attack them, they'll drop their act and become concerned for their safety.
  • Cain and Abel: Subverted. They don't hate each other, they just embody a childish sibling rivalry.
  • Kryptonite Factor: Anything that damages Imaginary Man's masculinity, though flowers are the most commonly exploited. On the flipside, Nemesis is weakened by anything that damages her hair.
  • Manchild: Both of them, behaving like stereotypical children of each gender despite having adult bodies.
  • Sibling Rivalry: Created through one, presumably to act as a more playful outlet to channel said rivalry.

Imaginary Man

  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: Imaginary Man asks Mac to be his new sidekick as if he were asking Mac to marry him, going down on one knee and presenting a costume like a wedding ring.
  • Flying Brick: Imaginary Man. He's got flight, super strength, and several gizmos in place of his right hand.
  • Gasshole: One of Imaginary Man's powers is the "Atomic Belch".
  • Heroic Build: In classic super hero fashion, Imaginary Man is built like the ideal hero.
  • Hypocritical Heartwarming: Imaginary Man stopping Bloo from attacking Nemesis, because nobody pulls his Nemesister's hair but him!
  • The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: "Nobody pulls my Neme-sister's hair but me!!"
  • Phrase Catcher: As Mac constantly tries to come up with his own catchphrase as Imaginary Man's sidekick, Imaginary Man responds to the poor choices with, "keep trying, Mac-Attack."
  • Superheroes Wear Capes: Imaginary Man wears a brilliant red cape to reflect his super hero status.
  • Swiss-Army Appendage: Imaginary Man's right hand is robotic and can be replaced with several tools like a powerful water gun filled with soda or a sidecar to carry his sidekick as he flies.
  • Wham Line:
    Imaginary Man: (after saving Nemesis from an angry Bloo) Nobody pulls my Nemesister's hair but ME!

Nemesis

  • Abnormal Ammo: Nemesis uses flowers rather than arrows against Imaginary Man.
  • Attack Its Weak Point: Her power is tied to her hair. She has to keep it perfect or she'll lose her power. Mac learned the weakness when Imaginary Man got orange soda in her hair.
  • The Corrupter: Nemesis was able to convince Bloo to temporarily become her Dragon Uniscorn.
  • Everyone Calls Her "Barkeep": She is called Nemesis and she's the Arch-Enemy of Imaginary Man, his nemesis. And his "sister", since they were both created by siblings.
  • Given Name Reveal: After she's physically attacked by Mac and Bloo, Imaginary Man pulls her away from them while referring to her by her full name Nemesister.
  • Femme Fatale: As the attractive feminine Arch-Enemy to Imaginary Man.
  • Impossible Hourglass Figure: As the ideal for feminimity, Nemesis has an inhumanly thin waste with wide hips and bust. Since she's imaginary, it works for her.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Nemesister cares for her brother, and everything is just sibling rivalry.
  • Light Is Not Good: Nemesis' powers are based in stereotypical femininity, just as Imaginary Man's are based in stereotypical masculinity. Thus, a lot of her evil-doings involve a motif of hearts, flowers and the color pink.
  • Nothing Nice About Sugar and Spice: Nemesis is a supervillainess imaginary friend based around femininity to contrast with Imaginary Man's masculinity. As such, she has a motif of hearts, flowers (which are Imaginary Man's weakness), and the color pink, and her crimes revolve around forcing a feminine touch on traditionally masculine settings through vandalism. Subverted in that she's a Jerk with a Heart of Gold engaged in a friendly Sibling Rivalry.
  • Poke the Poodle: Her crimes as a supervillain mostly boil down to vandalism, forcing a feminine touch on traditionally masculine settings.
  • Punny Name: Nemesister, a Portmanteau of her usual title "Nemesis" and "Sister".
  • Ride the Rainbow: Her main form of transportation is to create a rainbow from her hands which she can ride through the sky.
  • Wicked Heart Symbol: Her face is heart-shaped, as is her long hair. She's also a self-admitted villainess.

    World 

World

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20191025_162123.jpg

Voiced by: Max Burkholder

An imaginary friend connected to another dimension connected to a toy chest. He's terribly lonely and abducts Frankie to be his friend.


  • All There in the Script: He's not addressed by name in the special, only in the credits.
  • Anti-Villain: World is the main antagonist of the film, but he's not evil, just suffering from extreme loneliness and abandonment issues. He spends most of the movie treating Frankie quite kindly and genuinely sees her as his friend, and is motivated to trick her other friends because he irrationally thinks that they're going to take her away from him. He only reacts violently when Mr. Herriman gives him a "Reason You Suck" Speech that hits all of his worst insecurities, and his Villainous Breakdown is more akin to a panic attack than a coordinated act of villainy. Once he's given the opportunity to leave the toy box, he sincerely apologizes and is perfectly friendly to everyone.
  • Big Bad: Of Destination Imagination.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Implied. It's not said what happened with his creator but it's implied he was taken away and locked in a trunk, where he stayed until Imagination:Destination.
  • Dimension Lord: He controls everything inside of his toy chest.
  • I Just Want to Have Friends: His one motivation. He wants a friend that can understand him and won't leave.
  • The Faceless: Everything in his dimension is this, as they lack faces and he controls them by sliding into place as their face. Mac uses this to his advantage. Interestingly, World himself is the inverse of this; his true form is nothing but a mouth and a pair of eyes.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Once he's promised genuine friendship, he drops all hostility.
  • Hates Being Alone: World has been left isolated in his toy box for presumably years and desperately wants friends. When he meets Frankie, he latches onto her and becomes paranoid and scared of her eventually leaving him, to the point of breaking down into tears.
  • Madness Mantra: "No you don't no you don't no you DOOOON'T!"
  • One-Winged Angel: A mishmash of various toys to become a giant monster.
  • Reality Warper: He isn't just a body surfer who can possess any one of the faceless inhabitants of the toy chest world. He is the toy chest world. Which he makes clear by destroying everything in the chest and leaving behind a white void upon going berserk.
  • Villainous Breakdown: Mr. Herriman's chewing him out causes the kid to hyperventilate and enter One-Winged Angel mode.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: He might seem unbeatable at a glance, but he has a pretty glaring weakness that Mac figures out. The weakness? He's just a face, and also one guy capable of possessing just one of several faceless vessels at a time, which comes with its own hinderences.
    • It makes the characters he possesses stand out like sore thumbs, since they all have his facial features.
    • The faceless vessels have their own autonomy to a degree, but don't necessarily obey him, so they can't say, zero in on him to help him.
    • He can only move across and possess solid surfaces. Mac sees this when his face doesn't imprint on the Putty that "attacks" the superhero vessel, and uses it to strand him on an apple surrounded by Sand.
    • When it seems he is saved by dumb luck when a faceless horse comes by, its revealed Mac uses this further by having World possess the horse and lead them to Frankie, with him being none the wiser.

    Bendy 

Bendy

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bendy_24.png
Nerd rage, thy name is Bendy.

Voiced by: Jeff Bennett

Bendy is an imaginary friend who is yellow with black stripes. Seen only in "Everyone Knows It's Bendy", he was brought to the house after his creator's parents couldn't take his troublemaking anymore. Frankie and Mr. Herriman thought that it might just be his creator blaming him, which is apparently very common, but in truth it really was Bendy.


  • Ambiguous Innocence: While he's definitely guilty of everything else he does, there's some debate going on whether or not he was innocent back when he was living with Gregory. Subverted when Bendy breaks a vase in front of the Bloo, Wilt, Eduardo and Coco showing he has always been a diabolical troublemaker and shortly afterwards he fakes how own innocence.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: In front of Frankie and Mr. Herriman, he puts on the mask of being a misunderstood and sympathetic Nice Guy who's always being blamed for other people's misbehavior, but takes great relish in framing others for his bad deeds when they aren't around.
  • Crocodile Tears: Used these to manipulate Frankie and Mr. Herriman.
  • Hate Sink: Downplayed Example. He was simply added in the episode he appears in just to be despised by the audience for his behavior. However, the hate he received was far beyond what was intended to be since he became a Karma Houdini at the end, thus causing him to border on full-on Scrappy territory.
  • Jerkass: Did nothing but cause havoc in the home and framed Bloo and his friends for it.
  • Karma Houdini: One of the most infamous examples in the series. Despite Bloo and his friends fighting tooth and nail to catch him, he gets away in the end when Bloo reveals that he planned to get Bendy in trouble.
  • Karma Houdini Warranty: While Bendy did not appear on the show outside of his debut episode, he did appear in a few video games based on the show. In particular, Imagination Invaders for the Nintendo DS has him break some busts and draw on the wall. Bloo tells on him to Frankie, and Bendy lies to her that Bloo has been blaming him for his wrongdoings. This time, Frankie doesn't believe Bendy's lie and sends him to his bedroom as punishment.
  • Kick the Dog: Him telling Bloo that he knowingly used his toothbrush to scrub the toilet.
  • Monster of the Week: He only appeared in the episode "Everyone Knows It's Bendy", where he was the antagonist.
  • Pet the Dog: Despite being an atomic asshole, he did sign the "Goodbye, Mac" card in "Goodbye to Bloo".
  • Playing the Victim Card: He frames the imaginary friends for his own actions.
  • Put on a Bus: Understandably, the above tropes ensured that this was his fate as the audience was all too eager to see him gone.
  • The Sociopath: Bendy show absolutely no remorse or guilt for the trouble that he himself caused while feigning innocence to frame the other Imaginary Friends for it.

A boy posing as an imaginary friend to mooch off of Foster's. It turns out that he surprisngly is an imaginary friend in spite of looking almost completely human, as the only thing identifying him as one is him having a small elephant's trunk for a nose.


  • Ambiguously Human: Parodied. The episode hammers in Frankie's suspicion that he is a human so much that after a while, the twist that he's actually an imaginary friend becomes fairly obvious.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: His speech patterns are more than a little bit odd, even disregarding the fact that he's really an imaginary friend.
  • Deadpan Snarker: He's a laid-back slacker who's prone to making smarmy quips.
  • Easily Forgiven: Despite making Frankie’s life miserable, he does give Frankie gratitude as mentioned below in Karma Houdini
  • Gag Nose: Zig-zagged. At first, it appears that he just has a pointy nose with a clown nose on it. Underneath the clown nose, he has a small elephant's trunk.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite being a lazy, obnoxious slacker, he turns out to be at least nice enough to give Frankie some genuine gratitude for taking care of him at the end of the episode. Considering how thankless Frankie's job usually is on top of what she had to put up with in his debut, it's understandable that she looks more than a little touched at that statement.
  • Karma Houdini: Despite all the trouble he causes with Frankie, the episode ends with an "Everybody Laughs" Ending, even though he made a ton of extra work for Frankie, caused her to miss a concert that she was really looking forward to, and then had the gall to take everyone else to the place, but because he's an imaginary friend it seems like he's never told to make amends. It's arguably subverted given that he gives Frankie his gratitude towards her for taking care of him, which genuinely touches her.
  • Lazy Bum: He's a huge slacker, much to Frankie's dismay, as she has to clean up after him.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: Subverted. At first, it seems he's just a human teenager wearing a clown get-up, and the only one who doesn't buy him being an imaginary friend is Frankie. Turns out, he's an actual imaginary friend, just one that looks a little too much like a human.

    Uncle Pockets 

Uncle Pockets

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uncle_pockets_fosters_home_for_imaginary_friends_136.jpg

The best imaginary friend ever, who was the first one to be put into Foster's.


  • The Ace: Considered the greatest imaginary friend in history and has the longest career of adoption in Foster's.
  • All-Loving Hero: Pockets is kind to everyone, treats them like family and loves all the friends in Foster's, except Bloo and Duchess.
  • Big Fun: He is a big guy and very friendly, playful and fun-loving.
  • But Now I Must Go: After the mystery surrounding him is cleared away, Uncle Pockets is once again adopted by a new family and is off to live with them.
  • Dark Secret: While Bloo was way off the mark with his interpretation of events, Uncle Pockets was hiding something from everyone. Uncle Pockets prides himself on his reputation for professional detachment. That he can be any kid's best friend and move on once they've grown up without any concern. But the truth is he deeply loves and misses all those he became friends with and has a chest of mementos buried away in secret.
  • Does Not Like Spam: As revealed in his introductory song, Uncle Pockets doesn't like any dairy products.
  • Even the Loving Hero Has Hated Ones: Despite being one of the nicest characters in the series, even Uncle Pockets can't stand Bloo. Uncle Pockets hates the way Bloo behaves in front everyone (especially him) and gets annoyed by his obnoxious, nosy nature. It's no wonder Uncle Pockets was being hostile towards Bloo throughtout the episode, as the latter never said one nice thing to him and treated him like dirt since day one.
  • Foil: To Bloo. As while Uncle Pockets is a All-Loving Hero and Nice Guy who is Loved by All, Bloo is a Narcissist and Glory Hound who is The Friend Nobody Likes.
  • Good Is Not Soft: Uncle Pockets is a really nice guy. However, he will do whatever it takes to keep his secret hidden. That was shown when Bloo was caught following him around, Uncle Pockets tucked Bloo into his bed so tightly, Bloo couldn't escape. He even later knocks out Bloo with a shovel (though, that was by accident).
  • Hammerspace: Uncle Pockets has just about anything hidden away in one of his many pockets he uses to entertain his friends.
  • "I Am" Song: In his introductory episode, he introduces himself to the new faces upon his return with a rendition of "I'm a professional friend, imaginary."
  • Loved by All: Everyone at Foster's loves him and considers him the best imaginary friend ever. Even Duchess considers him tolerable. The only one who hates him is Bloo as he is extremely jealous of his popularity and he can't stand him one bit.
  • Nice Guy: Easily one of the nicest imaginary friends to have ever existed in the show alongside Wilt and one of the main reasons why he is so popular.
  • Rhymes on a Dime: He almost always speaks in rhymes. It comes naturally to him while others like Bloo prove it's harder than it looks.
  • Sheep in Sheep's Clothing: Bloo suspects Uncle Pockets to be a conman trying to kill Madame Foster and get the deed to her house. Not only is he genuinely a nice guy, but all those things that made him look like a sinister person was just him trying to get Madame Foster to go on a vacation.
  • Tragic Keepsake: He keeps a memento of every child he's ever been friends with, long after they grew up.

Red

Voiced by: Phil LaMarr

Terrence's imaginary friend, introduced in "Seeing Red".


  • Big Ol' Unibrow: Much like his creator, he has a giant monobrow over his eyes.
  • The Cutie: He's an incredibly kind and gentle friend whose dopey personality only serves to make him all the more endearing and sweet.
  • Dumb Muscle: He has tremendous strength and isn't very smart, as initially he somehow misinterpreted Terrence's instruction to "smash Bloo" as an order to sniff a flower.
  • Evil Counterpart: Subverted. Terrence created Red to be one to Bloo; only is Red squared in contrast to Bloo's round, blob-like appearance, he's red. However, he's a Minion with an F in Evil who eventually turns against Terrence.
  • Evil Is Angular: Subverted. Due to being a giant red cube with no soft edges except for his arms and facial features, he's just as about as angular as you can get, but he has a gentle, kindhearted personality who loves nature, especially flowers.
  • Gentle Giant: Even though he was created to antagonize Mac and Bloo, he has such a gentle and kind-hearted personality that he ends up leaving Terrence's side and saving Mac and Bloo's life from him.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Red undergoes one when Bloo apologizes to him for mistreating him, and saves Mac and Bloo from Terrence.
  • Hulk Speak: Red speaks this way, saying things like "Red smash Bloo!".
  • Minion with an F in Evil: Terrence created Red to smash Bloo, but Red was more into smelling flowers and admiring cute things. After suffering a series of Amusing Injuries from Bloo, Red breaks down into tears, which gets Bloo to realize he went too far and apologize to him, also leading to Red switching sides.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: He breaks down into tears when he sees that he smashed the flowers after being kicked by the "girly horsies".
  • Ocular Gushers: Red cries these after he finds out that he smashed the flowers.
  • One-Shot Character: He was only seen in his debut episode, but in "Goodbye to Bloo", his signature is shown inside Mac's goodbye card.
  • Playful Cat Smile: Just like his creator, he has this as his default expression.
  • Posthumous Sibling: He was created after Terrence created and ate Pizza.
  • Red Is Heroic: He's red, gentle, friendly, and would rather watch and smell flowers.
  • Red Is Violent: Subverted. He was created to beat up Bloo, but he's too much of a Gentle Giant for him to fully go through with it and winds up turning against Terrence and befriending Mac and Bloo.
  • Third-Person Person: Red constantly refers to himself by his name.
  • Token Heroic Orc: Since he was created by Terrence, Red is technically an Extremosaurus, but even from the start Red's always shown a gentle side in his love of flowers. After rebelling against Terrence, Red is treated like a regular imaginary friend.
  • Turned Against Their Masters: Red was created by Terrence to smash Bloo, but he turned against Terrence when he bullied him, Mac, and Bloo, giving his creator a "The Reason You Suck" Speech before throwing him away.
    Terrence: You're just as bad as them; you're weak, worthless, and lame!
    Red: Red not like Terrence words. Red not mean like Terrence. Red not bad like Terrence. RED NICE GUY! But if you want Red to be bad, let Red start with Terrence! Red make Terrence go far away!

    Foul Larry 

Foul Larry

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/foul_larry_976689870.jpg

A huge imaginary friend significant for being Wilt's rival in his past.


  • Big Bad: He's the main antagonist in the special episode "Good Wilt Hunting".
  • Evil Counterpart: He's (or at least was) the exact polar opposite of Wilt. Both are imaginary friends who were created to be skilled and talented basketball players, but while Wilt is meek, compassionate, friendly, and a clean player; Larry is obnoxious, aggressive, malicious, and a dirty player.
  • Face of a Thug: He is a tough guy played by Kevin Michael Richardson with a relatively intimidating and strong appearance. However, the ending of the episode seems to imply that he has become this, judging by his meek and shy demeanor after his Heel–Face Turn.
  • Heel–Face Turn: He turns good by the end of the episode, becoming one of the show's few antagonists to redeem themselves.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: The end of the episode implies that, despite all his bravado, he still has a heart.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: But not in an immediately visible way. He cost Wilt an arm and eye and caused him to abandon Jordan in shame. By the movie's end, there's no apology- Larry just suddenly adopts a disgustingly sweet puppy dog-ish behavior and ends up at Foster's. However, Larry's own creator is nowhere to be seen in the present, having seemingly abandoned him. This implies that while Larry won the basketball game, he was left all alone and lived with nobody to appreciate him.
  • Non-Human Head: He has a basketball for a head.
  • The Rival: He was this to Wilt for a long time.
  • Sadist: He had no qualms about using violence against Wilt to win and seemed to enjoy it.
  • Scars Are Forever: He inflicted this on Wilt and is partly to blame for Wilt having a crippled eye and arm (despite not being intentional).

  • Anthropomorphic Food: An imaginary friend who turned out to be a pizza.
  • Butt-Monkey: His entire existence could be summed up to this...
  • The Chew Toy: His death is the only on-screen death in the entire series and is Played for Laughs. Very dark laughs.
  • Family-Unfriendly Death: He is a perfectly cute and harmless character who is alive for only a few seconds before being eaten alive, and we get to hear him scream in agony before he eventually perishes forever.
  • The Cutie: Despite having lived in a matter of seconds, he was absolutely adorable, as he only came into the world to love and be loved.
  • Kill the Cutie: His death.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Terrence eats him before his screentime even passes the single digits.
