'''Instead:''' Bloo feels the need to rush down to the intercom just so he can confront Bendy once and for all, and even goes so far as to summon Frankie and Mr. Herriman down there as if he thought him saying "Ha, I caught you" would ensure Bendy would stay put and not leave Bloo to take the blame. [[DidntThinkThisThrough You can practically]] ''[[DidntThinkThisThrough tell]]'' [[ChesireCatGrin by Bendy's grin]] [[DidntThinkThisThrough that Bloo got ahead of himself and played right into his hands.]]

'''Instead:''' Bloo, for no real reason, picks up the bat while wondering how Bendy can get away so quickly. Coco’s tongue (which was holding the camera in her mouth) then slips and takes pictures of Bloo holding the bat near the broken window (which begs the question of why they didn't put someone more dexterous in charge of the camera). Frankie and Mr. Herriman then enter the room and see the broken window and the photos of Bloo holding the bat, getting him in further trouble.

** Bloo's [[TheDitz foolishness]] and [[DidntThinkThisThrough impulsiveness]] do not help matters. At one point Bloo catches Bendy writing on the walls.\\

* In "Where There's a Wilt There's a Way", Wilt keeps getting forced to do demeaning tasks for the ungrateful people of his home city and he is unable to refuse because he CantSayNo no matter what circumstances. Wilt is sent to go get potato chips for Bloo to eat while watching the basketball game, but each time he fills Bloo's bowl with chips back up to being full, he gets interrupted by someone asking him for a favor. The first time he realizes that the friends who asked him for the favor eat up Bloo's chips, and so he has to constantly refill the bowl.\\

'''You'd Expect:''' Bloo heed Wilt's warning and stay put.\\

Considering that {{imaginary friend}}s are typically made by little kids, I guess [[WhatAnIdiot moments like these]] are inevitable at WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends.

'''You'd Expect:''' For Bloo stay silent and [[StatusQuoIsGod watch Bendy get his well-deserved comeuppance]], potentially basking in the {{irony}} of him [[NotMeThisTime getting in trouble for something he actually didn't do this time]].\\

** One of Bloo's final plans to frame Bendy by taking a picture of him in the TemptingCookieJar is actually a success, although the steps to keep him from destroying the evidence caused the house to flood. Luckily, this is when Frankie and Mr. Herriman confront Bendy when it seems as though he's at the epicenter of the trouble for once.\\

'''Instead:''' The cop asks Bloo, "Let me go run this" on Frankie's ID and only asks Bloo to sit tight, and when he comes back, Bloo already fled the scene.

'''Instead:''' He simply just keeps a sign on it saying "STAY AWAY - DO NOT ENTER" and defends his decision not to put up locks because he claims "''[[ImmediateSelfContradiction self-restraint, Miss Francis, is the only lock that door requires]]''".

** Next, Bloo then finds a chicken leg with feet and chases after it. The chicken leg, Charlie, turns out to be a food imaginary friend created by some kid in fat camp, but he offers to help navigate Mac and Bloo back down to the first floor if Bloo controls his urge to eat him.\\

* In "Where There's a Wilt There's a Way", Wilt keeps getting forced to do demeaning tasks for the ungrateful people of his home city and he is unable to refuse because he can't say "NO" no matter what circumstances. Wilt is sent to go get potato chips for Bloo to eat while watching the basketball game, but each time he fills Bloo's bowl with chips back up to being full, he gets interrupted by someone asking him for a favor. The first time he realizes that the friends who asked him for the favor eat up Bloo's chips, and so he has to constantly refill the bowl.\\

** One of Bloo's final plans to frame Bendy is actually a success, albeit causing the house to flood. Luckly, at this time, Frankie and Mr. Herriman confront Bendy when it seems he's at the epicenter of the trouble for once.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' For Bloo stay silent and [[StatusQuoIsGod watch Bendy get his well-deserved comeuppance]].\\
'''Instead:''' ''[[FailureIsTheOnlyOption He inexplicably yells out the entire plan in front of Frankie and Mr. Herriman.]]''\\

'''As a Result:''' Frankie isn't fooled by the disguise.

* 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 "[[TheresNoBInMovie T-Rex-A-Tron Alien Wolf III: A Prequel In Time]]". After puting 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. \\

'''Instead:''' They ''keep interrupting him'' while he speaks, causing Mac to get angry at Goo and give her a "TheReasonYouSuck"Speech.\\

* In "Where There's a Wilt There's a Way", Wilt keeps getting forced to do demeaning tasks for the ungrateful people of his home city and he is unable to refuse because he can't say the word "NO" no matter what circumstances. Wilt is sent to go get potato chips for Bloo to eat while watching the basketball game, but each time he fills Bloo's bowl with chips back up to being full, he gets interrupted by someone asking him for a favor.

'''You'd Expect:''' Bloo hightail it and hope Frankie and Mr. Herriman catch him this time.\\

'''You'd Expect:''' For Bloo to keep his mouth shut and [[StatusQuoIsGod watch Bendy get his well-deserved comeuppance]].\\

'''Instead:''' Bloo calls the pizza delivery guy ("12 extra extra large pepperoni with extra sauce and extra cheese, to Foster's Home, thanks.") Even [[JerkassHasAPoint Duchess points this out]] by chiding Bloo on his stupidity for [[DidntThinkThisThrough not planning ahead on how he'll get his pizzas[[ if he doesn't know his way back downstairs]].

Even [[JerkassHasAPoint Duchess points this out by chiding Bloo on his stupidity for not planning ahead on how he'll get his pizzas if he doesn't know his way back downstairs]].

'''You'd Expect:''' For Mac to try keeping his mouth closed so he gets none.\\

'''Instead:''' Unable to say "No" Wilt can't defend his innocence and the police lock him up before he gets forced by his fellow cell mates to [[Film/TheShawshankRedemption tunnel their way out of jail]].

'''Instead:''' Bloo, for no real reason, picks up the bat while wondering how Bendy can get away. The tongue of Coco(who was holding the camera in her mouth) then slips and takes pictures of Bloo holding the bat near the broken window (which begs the question of why they didn't put someone more dexterous in charge of the camera). Frankie and Mr. Herriman then enter the room and see the broken window and the photos of Bloo holding the bat, getting him in further trouble.

* 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. They locate Duchess, and when she refuses to help them get back down to the first floor, Bloo grabs her telephone and threatens if he doesn't get directions, he'll "do it", although Duchess complains she doesn't care if Bloo breaks it.\\

'''You'd Expect:''' For Mac to keep his mouth closed so he doesn't get any.\\

'''You'd Expect:''' Frankie and Mr. Herriman to, at any point, question why three longtime friends who have generally been honest and well-behaved are suddenly at the epicenter of a rash of bad behavior and pointing fingers at this newcomer. Plus while Bloo may be a troublemaker, he usually doesn't go around framing other people for what he's done and if the three aforementioned people are vouching for his innocence, that speaks for evidence in his favor. If Bendy's sob story was that convincing, they could at least declare both parties innocent until proven guilty.\\

* In "Duchess of Wails", Duchess finally gets adopted, but the family that adopts her (the Applebees) turns out to be residing right next door to Mac's apartment, and Mac's mother is so fed up with Duchess's screaming she threatens to relocate Mac's family if it doesn't stop. Bloo and Mac realize this would render Mac unable to see Bloo anymore, and so the two tie up and kidnap Duchess with intent to bring her back to Foster's. Terrance asks Mac what he's doing with Duchess all tied up.\\

'''As a Result:''' Madame Foster, Terrance and the imaginary friends wage war upon Mac and Bloo over where Duchess ''doesn't'' get to live.

'''Instead:''' Wilt and Bloo attempt to retrieve the forms from Old Man Rivers themselves, merely telling Eduardo to wait until they return, and informing on one about what has happened.\\

'''Instead:''' Bloo, for no real reason, picks up the bat while wondering how Bendy can get away. Coco's tongue then slips (who was holding the camera in her mouth) and takes pictures of Bloo holding the bat near the broken window (which begs the question of why they didn't put someone more dexterous in charge of the camera). Frankie and Mr. Herriman then enter the room and see the broken window and the photos of Bloo holding the bat, getting him in further trouble.

'''Instead''': He ignores his suggestion and insisted on being the head ''all because he thinks he's older than Mac'' which itself is InsaneTrollLogic. Because of this, Frankie can see through this disguise.

'''You'd Expect:''' For Mac to not say anything, or just lie.\\
'''Instead:''' Mac tells the whole plan to Terrance, and so Terrance hurries to Foster's to warn everyone that Duchess is on the verge of returning since of course Terrance wants to tear apart Mac and Bloo [[ForTheEvulz for the fun of it]].\\

* 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 "[[TheresNoBInMovie T-Rex-A-Tron Alien Wolf III: A Prequel In Time]]".

'''As a Result:''' When Mac shows the movie to everyone in the festival, the ending is recorded over by Eduardo's "Lauren is Explorin'" episode, and everyone (save for Eduardo) boos and jeers, and some people even [[ProducePelting throw tomatoes at Bloo]].

'''You'd Expect:''' For the cop to see Bloo's lying, order Bloo to get out of the bus and put handcuffs on him.\\

'''Instead:''' Wilt and Bloo attempt to retrieve the forms from Old Man Rivers themselves, merely telling Eduardo to wait until they return, and not informing anyone about what has happened.\\

'''Instead:''' Everybody allows Mac and Bloo to knock them down as they are running down the halls. Just as Mac is darting out the front door Herriman grabs Bloo (while Bloo still thinks he's a zombie and is begging for his life) and 'then' tells him it was all a prank. And to top it off, Frankie tells Bloo that he is in trouble for feeding Mac sugar while he thought that he and his friend were about to die. Meanwhile, Mac is again running around town naked and terrorizing some kids.

'''Instead:''' Bloo resumes chase about 41 seconds after Charlie started guiding them, scaring Charlie away.

'''You'd Expect''': That Madame Foster would have saved at least some money and hid it in the safe. But then Madame Foster shouldn't probably have spent 100% of the emergency fund money on the safe in the first place. Was putting all that money [[MundaneSolution in a bank]] not an option?\\

'''Instead:''' Bloo calls the pizza delivery guy ("12 extra extra large pepperoni with extra sauce and extra cheese, to Foster's Home, thanks.") Even Duchess points this out by chiding Bloo on his stupidity for not planning ahead on how he'll get his pizzas if he doesn't know his way back downstairs.
