* In the episode "Crime After Crime", Bloo is trying to get Mr. Herriman to send him to his room [[DeniedFoodAsPunishment with no supper]] because Frankie is making a disgusting gruel called "it". However, his actions only end up helping the rabbit, who is trying to hide his carrot addiction--and is ''extremely'' grateful to Bloo for it, to the latter's annoyance.\\

* In the episode, "One False Movie", The school principal is impressed with Mac's film about Foster's (which Bloo added armpit fart sound effects into) and enters Mac to represent his school in the Annual State-wide Elementary School film festival. He gives Mac a $500 budget and the idea for the film, which Bloo helps make into a movie called "[[BMovie T-Rex-A-Tron Alien Wolf III: A Prequel In Time]]". After putting a lot of effort and money into the film [[note]] Far beyond the budget Mac's Principal gave him. Specificially, Bloo had Creator/TomHanks play a robot, and a [=CGI=] Eduardo when the real one refused to be involved in the project. To get the money for those, Mac had to sell his [[Franchise/StarWars Space Wars]] action figure collection and Madame Foster's antiques (which she unknowingly bought back anyway) [[/note]], the film is finally complete and Bloo throws a party to celebrate its completion.\\

* In "Bus "Neighbor Pains", Bloo gets a little too carried away with bothering Old Man Rivers, a cranky neighbor who hates imaginary friends, on "Adopt-A-Thought-Saturday" by using the adoption forms to trash his yard. Wilt and Bloo are the only ones who know about this.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Wilt and Bloo to tell the crowd of people waiting to adopt imaginary friends that there has been a delay and to wait patiently while they explain the situation to Frankie and Mr. Herriman. After that, the latter can either print out new forms for the applicants, or tell them that recent circumstances have forced them to cancel the adoption process for today and come back tomorrow. Smooth sailing indeed.\\
'''Instead:''' Wilt and Bloo attempt to retrieve the forms from Old Man Rivers themselves, merely telling Eduardo to wait until they return, and informing no one about what has happened.\\
'''As a Result:''' Disastrous confusion breaks out, with unhappy customers, wrongful accusations, characters misinterpreting information passed to one another...[[ArsonMurderandJaywalking and Mac missing out on an Orlando Bloo charade.]]

* In the special "Destination: Imagination" we have World, an imaginary friend that is a face, who can move everywhere, except things that already have faces, and he can take control of the thing on which he stays. This friend lives in a toy box in which there is a magical world that the friend can control. Because he seemingly locked the kid who created in the box with him, the kids parents take their son from there and lock World in the box using chains then send him to Foster's with a note that says "Do not open". Frankie finds the box and takes it in the attic, then opens the box to help the friend inside. She ends up inside the box and quickly befriends World and after a while she decides to stay there, because he respects and her and helps her relax and have fun like a good friend, while at Fosters she works really hard without receiving enough respect. Without her Foster's is a mess and her friends, Mac, Bloo, Coco, Eduardo and Wilt get worried about her and go inside the box to search for her. World doesn't want them to take Frankie away from him, because he doesn't want to be alone again, so he tries multiple times to stop them. Eventually, they manage to find Frankie and find out that she wasn't held captive as they thought and they tell her she must come back, because they need her to do her chores. She believes that they only came to save her, so that she will work for them and that they don't care about her, so she gets mad, tells her she doesn't want to return, then walks away. World knows what happened and he wants to get rid of them.\\

* In "Dinner is Swerved", Mac and Bloo are hungry and stuck on the top floor of Foster's when it's dinner time and the dining room is all the way back in the first floor, but they can't find their way back because Foster's is a complicated physics-defying house.
