History Fridge / FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends

* 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 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 did something about slaves, too?

* 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 Blue gets everyone in the house to help him tricks 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 think 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 Mrs 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.

** However absolutely nothing personifies the Fridge Horror of Fosters then Cheese. As a cartoon he's fairly cute if only more then slightly annoying, however If one takes a minute to imagine it if Fosters 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 while also saying sentences in {{CreepyMonotone}}s with deeply contorted expressions at yet somehow were are supposed to believe that hes invented/imagined by a sweet [[CreepyChild five year old girl]].

* Imaginary characters become real in this verse... so what about fiction? How do writers tell a story without bringing every one of their characters to life? Sure, for some genres, this wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, but what about sci-fi and horror? Every single villain and monster in all of fiction would be real in the Foster's universe. Bloo referred to Godzilla in one episode. So then, that would mean that every one of the world-shaking monsters in that franchise *alone* must exist, or have existed at some point. To say nothing of childhood boogeymen. Every city in the world should be teeming with eldritch abominations of every description!

* World was sealed inside of a toy chest. Ok, fair enough, but we have no way of knowing just how long he was in there! Apparently long enough to make him extremely mentally unstable. Think about it, he was sealed in that chest, alone, for who knows how long. Yeah, he's a RealityWarper, but he's unable to make the one thing he wanted more than anything else, other sentient creatures to actually interact with. Imagine being in an entire world with you being the only sentient being in all of existence...no wonder he was so upset when they tried to take Frankie away...

* In "Seeing Red," Terrence imagines up a pizza imaginary friend and then proceeds to eat it while it screams. Read that sentence twice.

* Blue is constantly described as being a nice person.

* And now for some {{Fridge Brilliance}}, in the episode where Bloo thinks Mac is a nerd, Bloo is put up for adoption and everyone thinks he is like some famous person for no explanation. Until you remember this takes place after Bloo was a TV star.

** Stop to consider for a moment that no imaginary friend is shown to age (it's suggested/easily believed that Herriman was just BORN that old). If that is the case, then one of three things must happen. One is that imaginaries never die, and will wander the world for all eternity, constantly seeking the attentions of children (which is horrible in and of itself). Second, there is a EUTHENASIA program for imaginaries. As a fan of the show, imagine your job being putting Wilt down. Options 1 and 2 could come together, and imaginaries eventually kill themselves. Option 3, the least nightmarish, is that they die with their creators. But in that event, imagine the job Foster's does. That means any kid could randomly wake up to either a dead imaginary friend, or (if they simply vanish) be totally abandoned by their best friend.

*** Imagine what someone [[MagnificentBastard cunning]] and ''[[CompleteMonster evil]]'' would think up!

* 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 did something about slaves, too?

* I'm surprised no one has mentioned [[LoveMakesYouCrazy Berry]] yet. A {{Yandere}} who fell in love with Bloo the first time she saw him, and would stop at nothing to get rid of his best friend, Mac. Yeah, she was terrifying and extremely messed up, but it ''does'' make you wonder who thought her up. It's even worse when he or she could have been worse than her...

* In the movie/Pilot... I realized that when Mac's mother told Mac that him having an imaginary friend may have been causing Terrance to pick on him... She was placing blame on the victim. What the hell Mac's Mom???

* FridgeHorror: 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.

*** Possible solution: Friends live on love. If they've got a kid, they're fine. If not, Foster's sustains them. Even Duchess. Maybe it's because of the power and purity of Madame Foster's imagination, which is referenced as being damn near a superpower. That would mean, though, that when she passed, Foster's would fade away unless someone took her position, like Mac. Missed [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]].
