History Fridge / FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends

** Bloo, meanwhile, behaves like his nasty and manipulative self to Red, [[KickTheSonOfABitch albeit not without reason this time]]. But when Bloo sees Red in tears, Bloo feels bad and offers to make amends.

* One comic introduced Imaginary Frankie as a OneShotCharacter, but her existence proves that people can create Imaginary versions of real people, made worse by the fact that the kid who imagined her made her [[TheDitz ditzier]] and [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure curvier]] compared to the real Frankie. Adding on to this, the panel where the kid's parents dragged him away from Imaginary Frankie treats the situation as the kid being separated from his crush (which the real Frankie doesn't comment on due to being too stunned by the situation and Imaginary Frankie doesn't pick up on), thus implying the possibility of people falling in love with their own imaginary friends. How many other Imaginary versions of real people exist and how many of them suffered from altered personalities or figures due to their creator's own misconceptions about the person or wanting to fulfil their parasocial fantasies?

** Except the last thing we see him do in that scene is shoot Mac with what looks to be an airsoft gun shooting pellets. The more likely explanation is that his presents were from mom.

* While the police officers at the end of The Sweet Stench of Success arrest Kip for False Advertising, saying he will be sentenced to life in prison for it may sound like some massive DisproportionateRetribution. However, that was far from the only thing he did: he's guilty of several other crimes which, when combined together, really shows that Bloo calling him "Evil" is NotHyperbole.

* Though it's just a quick gag, Frankie is shown to have become overweight from finally being allowed to gorge her fill on Madame Foster's cookies in "Cookie Dough". Had the cookie fad and business ''not'' crumbled, and how addicted she was to the cookies, it's quite possible Frankie would've ended up becoming obese for the rest of her life.
* In "The Big Cheese": Sure, Cheese was probably just going on about random things as usual, but what if he wasn't and he really ''did'' have some or all of the diseases he yelled about?

* In "Mac Daddy", the scene where Bloo is frantically looking around for Cheese and pictures him getting into all kinds of dangerous scenarios becomes all the more disturbing when you imagine what [[ForWantOfANail actually might happen]] if Cheese was badly injured or even killed. Louise, a little girl who looks younger than Mac, would be scarred for life if the latter happened. And that's not getting into the potential lawsuit towards Foster's if her parents found out. Foster's could end up getting shut down, leaving who knows how many friends homeless. Since this would all be Bloo's fault for trying to get rid of Cheese in the first place, he would most likely become a pariah, with all of his friends hating his guts and wanting him gone.

* As the series progresses, Bloo's {{Jerkass}} tendencies wildly accelerate into a point where he's pretty much nothing more than an insufferable and cruel individual with rare PetTheDog moments. But as the TV movie and later episodes imply, imaginary friends often seem to grow into opposite roles of their creators, such as Wilt gaining ExtremeDoormat tendencies which encourage his former owner to take his life into his own hands, or Eduardo's owner becoming a police woman to grow brave due to his crybaby nature. In this sense it can be argued that Bloo TookALevelInJerkass as sort of a polar opposite to Mac's NiceGuy nature, essentially being a SecretTestOfCharacter to help Mac grow up as an individual with neither of them the wiser. But since imaginary friends are still people too, CharacterDevelopment can help them grow out of this as well.

* Eduardo pouting while looking away from Mojo Jojo in the pilot movie. It's not just a jab at unimaginative imaginary friends--Mojo was the [[BigBad primary antagonist]] of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''. Why on Earth would Ed, who's already [[LovableCoward afraid of everything]], associate himself with a ''supercriminal''?

* In Emancipation Complication, the tiny pen resembling Abraham Lincoln sold imaginary friends to do people's chores. You know, as slaves. Didn't the original Abraham Lincoln have something to do with slaves, as well?

** Considering what a {{sociopath}} Terrence already is at 13 years old, it's terrifying to imagine what he'll be like once he grows into an adult.

* In "Seeing Red", we witness what is probably the most FridgeHorror moment on the show. In that episode, Terrance wants a pizza and inadvertently creates a pizza friend, who greets him enthusiastically with "Howdy-do! I love you!"... and then Terrance devours him. Sure, it's PlayedForLaughs, but seeing the perspective from the imaginary friend can be quite [[TearJerker sad]]. If that character had survived Terrence's hunger, it's likely that he would have lived his entire life [[BreakTheCutie depressed, traumatized, and/or broken]], knowing that his creator is an incredibly sadistic and sociopathic boy who never loved him, especially considering that he only came into the world to ''love'' him.

* Actually, most people might not realize it, but the ''ENTIRE'' universe of Fosters is nothing but pure Fridge Horror. They all exist in a universe where ''all'' of a persons imaginative thoughts can come to life if believed in hard enough, so that would mean somewhere the visual and audible hallucinations of the mentally insane are alive and secretly roaming somewhere and menacing and possibly ''killing'' people at random.

* Bloo is as close to a sociopath or psychopath as you are ever likely to find in a cartoon, and one of the most unpleasant and downright manipulative characters on the show. It is hard to understand why Mac cares for him when all he does is abuse him. For Mac's birthday, Bloo gets everyone in the house to help him trick Mac, abuse him, and finally humiliate him in front of EVERYONE. They all laugh and leave little eight-year-old Mac alone in the ruins of his own birthday party dressed up as a clown because they manipulated him into thinking that he had ruined somebody else's party and that he had to make it up to them. In short, they tricked him into destroying his own birthday party more than once on the same day when all he wanted was to be [[TearJerker left completely alone all day and not tormented or humiliated by his "best friend"]]. Wow. Also Madame Foster, despite being rich, steals from him. And not anything little either. Mac, probably the nicest person in the whole show, is going to grow up to be insane and depressed.

While the scene is PlayedForLaughs, seeing the perspective from the imaginary friend can be quite [[TearJerker depressing]] and [[NightmareFuel horrific]]. If that character had survived Terrence's hunger, it's likely that he would have lived his entire life [[BreakTheCutie depressed, traumatized, and/or broken]], knowing that his creator is an incredibly sadistic and sociopathic boy who never loved him, especially considering that he only came into the world to ''love'' him.

What makes the scene especially jarring is the fact that we've already seen quite heartwarming and sad scenes about how sentient some imaginary friends are, especially if you saw "House of Bloo's", "Good Wilt Hunting", and "Destination: Imagination". That sentient slice of pizza could very well be one of the biggest [[TheWoobie Woobies]] in a kids' series.

** So...nobody else is going to address the OTHER elephant in the room with the fact that people at least as old as teenagers are capable of imagining living, physical beings, some of which are physically indistinguishable from humans? You know, TEENAGERS, people that have recently gone through puberty and are just starting to get sexually awakened? How many imaginary friends were created with the sole purpose of being a teenage boy(or girl)'s outlet for such desires? How is the population of humans not absolutely dwindling when people can imagine their ideal partner into existence on a whim, assuming imaginary friends aren't capable of reproducing with each other or humans? Actually, considering we know for a fact that Imaginary friends can experience romantic attraction (see the first Bloonardo episode) maybe they CAN.

** Further FridgeHorror--is Foster's the ''only'' institution of its kind in this world? What happens to imaginary friends in other parts of the world if they can't find good homes?

** The same could apply to other imaginary friends who were created to be food. This episode roughly shows that imaginary friends could be used as food while they are alive, which there would probably be many more like him suffering the same fate.
** The mere fact that there are incredibly sweet and friendly imaginary friends like him falling into the hands of guys as sadistic or even worse than Terrence is quite disturbing. Who knows how many imaginary friends could be suffering even worse fates for the sociopathic nature of their creators?
** Then there's the fact that Terrence done this while he was alone. Can you imagine how Mac, Bloo and his friends would have reacted if they had seen this?
* The concept of the show really. Even fans of the show must admit that a world where sentient creatures are forced to leave their families that raised them and put into foster homes is a very disturbing idea. What was life like before Foster's was even opened? Were imaginary friends just thrown out on the street... or even killed? For such a funny and overall light-hearted show, you really need to wonder how they think. For a show based on a pet shelter, it's surprising they never really thought that through.

* There is an imaginary friend shaped like a raindrop that likes to jump off the roof. He has a little umbrella so he can just float down. However, he likes company. He drags people up to the roof to jump off with him when they are sad.

* Absolutely nothing personifies the Fridge Horror of Fosters more than Cheese. As a cartoon he's fairly cute if only more than slightly annoying. However, if one takes a minute to imagine if Foster's were ever made into a live-action film, Cheese would appear as a small balding highly deformed human (in appearance) with bug eyes who makes disturbing screaming noises (sometimes in empty dark rooms) at random moments while also saying sentences in {{Creepy Monotone}}s with deeply contorted expressions; yet somehow were are supposed to believe that he was invented/imagined by a sweet [[CreepyChild five year old girl]].

* Considering what a sociopath Terrence already is at 13 years old, it's terrifying to imagine what he'll be like once he grows into an adult.
* In a society where beings like imaginary friends exist, what would be the criteria to determine that they are capable of things like signing a contract or learning how to drive? If there isn't, you could potentially have a situation that an imaginary friend with the mental faculties of a child, signing a contract that they can't get out of.
** Considering that this is ''exactly'' what happened to Bloo in "The Sweet Stench of Success", just imagine how many other imaginary friends this might have happened to that weren't rescued from situations like that...
