Recap / Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends S3E3 "Camp Keep a Good Mac Down"

Go To

The gang goes camping as suggestion from Mac. But what Mac wants to be a tranquil camping trip quickly turns to disaster.

This episode contains examples of:

  • Ate It All: This episode's Running Gag has Bloo eat all the food meant for the other residents of Foster's to share.
  • Bears Are Bad News: A bear ravages the campsite, drawn by honey that Bloo brought back with him. Madame Foster fights the bear and later manages to tame it.
  • Bee Afraid: An angry swarm of bees attacks the gang thanks to Bloo taking their honey...moments before the aforementioned bear attack.
  • Camping Episode
  • Horrible Camping Trip: The basic plot of this episode. By the end, Mac swears to never go camping again.
  • The Millstone: Almost every single disaster that befalls the group can be traced to Bloo in some way. He eats all their food for the trip, eats all of the blueberries, gets Wilt stuck in quicksand, steals some honey from bees that makes them attack the gang and then the honey attracts a bear which drives them further into the wild. Mac eventually calls him out on this as they were sinking in quicksand.
  • No Can Opener: The gang is lost in the woods during a camping trip. Coco hatches a ton of eggs, all carrying cans of food and dinner supplies. But she doesn't lay a can opener.
  • Quicksand Sucks: Wilt, later followed by Mac, Bloo, Eduardo and Coco, get trapped in quicksand during their ordeal. Thankfully, they get pulled out by the bee swarm from earlier, now following the orders of Madame Foster.
  • Shout-Out: The end credits feature Herriman adapting to his wild rabbit lifestyle before raiding a farmer's garden in an homage to The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
  • Woodland Creatures: Herriman befriends a colony of wild rabbits while lost in the woods. Madame Foster also returns with an army of animals, including the bear and bees that attacked the gang earlier on.
  • Ungrateful Bastard: Even after they took him in while he was lost in the woods, Herriman refuses his rabbit companions to stay at Foster's for refuge. However, the rabbits manage to snag his wallet and head to the mall with it.
