[Red]

XD
X_X!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I do miss new KND Episodes ;-).

Fixed.

[pixarkid]

OMG, this episode was funniest.
Grade A
btw, i think frankie's character design changed slightly for her ear...

[wrenchien]

on a side note, i wonder if those 'segments' like they have for dexter's, courage, etc will appear for fosters when they get the first batch of shows out of the can. and i wish i was in atlanta.

i wonder if that's a necklace or a scar miss francis has? @_@ she sure is fashionable.

cat, green guy, red guy, yellow lady with neck, wilt, bear, cocoa peeved and giving a kick, cool red creature, green monster, eduardo freaking, multiheaded beast wants to love. a lot of funny in such a short while!

what did bloo tape!?! i wonder..

ooh, herriman is owned. heee heee

ooohhkay. ooohhhkay. everyone falls down laughing.

it's good to make backups. and believe me, i've been trying to make some, but man, what a lot of files.. a lot of ... files.

that pink squirrel and the green thing.. is coool. wow, even a robot?

cocoa's got work again, i see. francis is having problems not laughing.

whoa, a cloud to rain on someone's parade's present. amazing indeed, the character designs. schenectady, huh, is the city where they live? nice.

and then frankie has a nightmare.

poor herriman, he's got star wars kid style problems. if you don't know what it is.. well, you're better off not knowing.

francis is cooler with hat backwards, mmm. i wish i had a hat to wear backwards in the flip mode.

ooh, the whatever hits the fan. yeah.

herriman can't get a break can he?

woww..... herriman can rap, huh? funny stuff!?!?

hmm.. he took it better than a lot of people would have thought.

48 out of 50. and that's not just the still functioning states in america we have right now.... ehm, n/m .

i'm glad noone has a camera on me right now,

wrenchien

[Bubblegum Girl]

That was by far the funniest episode ever. I loved the ending where Herriman was doing a "modern" version of his Hippty Hoppity song.

[swarlock]

Watching Herriman freak out at his own celebrity was insane and funny. :D

Seems a lot of Foster's tenants really don't like when he got "down and funky". I can't blame them but I digress.

[Deadman]

ha ha great episode a

[Mr. Insomnia]

Oh man. I'm extremely dissappointed if this was an Amy Rodgers episode. I have to admit, I like the entire first half of this episode, but towards the end I lost it. If the ending hadn't been as eye soringly predictable as it was this would've been a perfect episode. But please, this is so Rugrats moral-esque. It just sickend me. I like that they did a new mouth chart for Frankie. Especially for her side view, the old one, she had a huge jaw just sticking out. Anyhow...

B- 3.5, 5

[Zach Williams]

Great!!! Best episode by far probably. Funny Bunny freaking out at his popularity I did NOT like. It wasnt too good. Frankie and Bloo were good. Plus, maybe it was just me, but Mac's voice seemed to change. I dont know. The different versions of the song were good. The last one was alright. There was a damn rainbow outside my house, so with everybody screaming thier FREAK'N HEADS OFF cause I'm watching the end of Foster's, the end was not to enjoyable.:mad: :sweat:

[I.R Joey]

Oh my goodness can this show keep up this level of hillarity? The charecters faces are so expressive (unlike alot of other shows these days) and the designs are so wacky. At first I thought I was going to be disapointed as the 1st few minutes were rather slow but then the gags just took off. The ways they tried to keep Mr. Hareington in the dark were great. But the reaction of the kids to Mr. Harrington to the kids and their parents were truly heartwarming. The "rap" ending was also a barrel of laughs.



P.S I think that Grey Disel really showed how well she could act in this episoded. I had already liked her work on Danny Phantom and Grim. but I think she really brought Franki to life here.

[The Koopinator]

Another great episode. They should make "Funny Bunny" figures and merchandise. Or "Hip Hop" Herriman.

Edit: Forgot to metion how cooler the animation is (Frankie's mouth). And how I loved Mac's eye expressions, when the cookie fell out. And for some reason, Mac sounds alot cooler.

[Behonkiss]

The show is now officially gold in my book. I was a little worried after the two lame episodes ("Scribbles" and "Busted") from several weeks ago, but the show's recovered since, and I can now say it is almost definitely CN's best original still in production.

The best thing about this episode had to be how incredibly expressive the characters were. The reactions to the video, Mac realizing that everyone's seeing it with a cookie still in his mouth, Frankie trying to prevent from exploding while Herriman talks...Not to mention that we saw Herriman in a different light, since he's always been a stuffy tightass until now.

I think that Grey Disel really showed how well she could act in this episoded. I had already liked her work on Danny Phantom and Grim. but I think she really brought Franki to life here.You know that she's also Duchess, right? I sure didn't until I read the credits.

[Scythemantis]

It was predictable, I saw the end coming from pretty much the beginning, but it was well-done anyway. He's a jerk and all, but it wasn't hard to feel sorry for him.

Madame Foster is really one of the best characters...she's hilariously oblivious.

[N310DA]

Man this one had me laughing hard! It was great! It's about time Herriman payed a bit for his ways! I loved it how Bloo altered the video and made it look even more idiotc.

Hopefully Frankie and Bloo will REALLY get Herriman back some day!:evil:

[tucsoncoyote]

Tonight's Episode of Fosters World Wide Wabbit.. I thought would be a shock... and it was...

Finally Bloo and Frankie Get Revenge on Mr. Harriman for his 4 weeks of Dogging them... and it goes over a little too well. especially when you see Mac lose his cookie.. literally. Just Drops out of the mouth.. hits the floor and doesn't stop..

At least this one had me laughing in stitches.. and then some.. Thank heavens I wasn't drinking soda tonight.. else I would have probably had it come out my nose.. (Milk besides is funnier!)

But seeing Mr. Harriman do his "Funny Bunny Routine." Priceless sight gag... but what was funnier was seeing Frankie Wielding 4 CD's like a Ninja! (Oh man she's EVIL! I love this girl!)

Then the fun with the Funny Bunny Memoribillia, Priceless classic, and down right.. hilarious.. (Hide the RABBIT HIDE THE RABBIT!)

Let's just say that after 5 weeks, this show really was on a roll, and it's not very unlikely McCraken and his team of animators will come up with even Crazier Schemes.. after all this is what Family Entertrainment is all about.. sheer Hilarity and Silliness!

Kudos to Craig and the boys at CN for this rollicking ep...

Over all Grade.. A+++ definitely a fun one... and be sure to have plenty of Milk and Cookies!

Mr. Harriman: (Word...)

:coyote:

[PaQ]

I didn't like this episode so much. I guess maybe it's taken this long for me to realize just how much of a jerk Bloo can act like, and it's really left me not enjoying his antics anymore. Mac seems to be the only sensible one, which makes sense, but really Bloo just does too much trouble, and doesn't really seem to care about others till it's too late or he's about to learn some moral or something.

Also, Mr. Harrimen and all his rules and nitpicky comments are also getting a bit old for me. It was interesting to seem him not really acting like he does in public, but it still wasn't nice for Bloo to spread that video of him. I do think it was a nice touch that people loved the video, as it got Harrimen more involved at the end, including doing an updated version. lol. Frankie's behavior is understandable given all the crap Harrimen puts her through, she was due for a little payback, so I'm more acceptable of her behavior in the episode. I'm tired of Bloo though, I mean even in the interviews he was making fun of the others, not funny.

"World Wide Wabbit" gets a C.

[mobo85]

I liked the fact this episode poked fun at Internet memes such as "Dancing Baby," "Star Wars Kid," and the like that become so popular, fans create their own versions.

Hip-Hop Harriman is indeed funny as well. Countless advertisers attempt to be "hip" in their ads for kids. It's funny because it's true.

I must say, I find this show quite uniquity.
I'm thinking about it even as I speakity.
I can't wait to see what happens next weekity
Said Funny Bunny to the sweet little girl. (Ding!)
Sorry, Mr. H....it's catchy...

[Kagetsu]

Ok, this one was funny, 'bout time. Favorite part- Hareiman throws out Frankies computer, "My baby!!". I'm not the only only one addicted to computers:D . One digital movie file becomes 4 dvd's, then is webbed:anime: funny! Oh yea, and all the fan sites that were created.


I didn't like this episode so much. I guess maybe it's taken this long for me to realize just how much of a jerk Bloo can act like, and it's really left me not enjoying his antics anymore. Mac seems to be the only sensible one, which makes sense, but really Bloo just does too much trouble, and doesn't really seem to care about others till it's too late or he's about to learn some moral or something.That part of Bloo's character I think they got right. Traditionally the imanagery friend gets the blame. Broken vase-Bloo did it. Late for school-Bloo's fault. So he obviously has no self control. An 8 year old as the voice of reason? Irony


i wonder if that's a necklace or a scar miss francis has? @_@ she sure is fashionable. That has always bugged me. It makes it look as though her head has been reattached,eewwww. A necklace should be dangly and move a little. A choker should be wider. That just looks so wrong.

[DanniB]

this episode was adorable! Mr. Herriman's sweet side finally revealed. Very in character for him to recite an oldtimey poem, and his confusion over the technology of the camera and computer was priceless.

The interviews were cute, I liked how the main trio each had their ways of handling the camera. (Wilt claiming he wasn't speacial and another friend should be taken, Coco kicking the camera away, and Ed fearing the camera would steal his soul) and Bloo popping up during the interviews was just what Bloo would do.

Alot of people I've noticed don't like Bloo because he's a jerk. You have to keep this in mind, Bloo is Mac's id. He never does anything intending true harm, he's mearly acting out impulses and having fun. He never thinks first and is most childlike in that way.

other things I liked:

Eduardo during the second half "Es Aqui!" handing out gifts, "Take off your clothes!" and "I tripped"

Coco acting as a bouncer.

Wilt's constant giving in to everyone else: I felt sorry for him when Herriman was demanding the newspaper and the others were telling him not to give it.

"TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES!!!" had me ROFLOL, espeacily when Madam Foster did just that.

Once again Foster's pleases.

[Invader Z]

Oh no. What kind of crazy mischeif will Bloo get into today?

This ep SOMEHOW beat Store Wars. Herriman's attempt to be cool, ruining a popular site... I only didn't like Bloo's "Poot Bunny" version... also, no one mentioned how Mr. Herriman was udderly confused on technology of today. Him trying to make Mac and Bloo do something emberassing with a REALLY old camera... that was hilarious!

[Kagetsu]

Coco acting as a bouncer.
Coco seems to like being in a position of authority, first store security, now bouncer.

[The Koopinator]

I've forgotten to mention that Herriman looks pretty boss with that sword.

[lostrune]

The good thing about the episode -and the series in general- is how many of the emotions and reactions are kept... er... "authentic." Most of the time, kiddie toons exaggerate emotions and reactions too much one way or another: too goody2shoes, too hip-hop, too simplistic, etc. It's like they don't know how kids really act these days, save in their imaginations. So, it was only appropriate how the imaginary friends reacted to Mr. Hareman's hippity-hoppity video and to his hip-hop video.

Ergo, keep it real! :)



Man this one had me laughing hard! It was great! It's about time Herriman payed a bit for his ways! I loved it how Bloo altered the video and made it look even more idiotc.
Bloo didn't do those! If you post something -anything- on the web, people will take it and run away with it, doing all kinds to it whatever they see fit. Heck, just do a search for iMac commercials and see what uses people have found for 'em! :D

Yeah, Bloo DIDN'T do those, the people did. I quote Bloo "I posted it on the internet and the fans went to town!" Then he shows the new clips. So the fans made those other ones.

And Mr. Herriman wasn't freaking out at his own popularity, he was freaking out because he thought the tons of people there were going to laugh at him and humiliate him. I personally found that scene hilarious! "Oh no! They're everywhere!"

[Tay the Cat]

This episode gets a C from me. Despite a few occasional laughs, I just didn't dig this episode.

Must be Lauren Faust.

And Mr. Herriman wasn't freaking out at his own popularity, he was freaking out because he thought the tons of people there were going to laugh at him and humiliate him. I personally found that scene hilarious! "Oh no! They're everywhere!"Actually after analyzing this particular post, I have to chime in here and really say why The comment about why the Fans went to town with the "Funny Bunny Clip" and they did their own thing..

The answer is called " Giving a character his due..."

Let's face it Harriman was considered for the first 4 weeks to be a stodgy, stuck up bunny who was the voice of Reason and Authority at Fosters, and what happened was when Bloo released the video out onto the net.. Fans defintitely did indeed roll with it.. (It's like taking any known Celebrity or Toon Character (Be It Brittney Spears or Kim Possible, or Justin Timberlake for that mattter) and letting the fans control the shot.. (Sure this was right up there with "Dancing Baby" and "Star Wars Kid" but the point is this.. at least McCracken did it in such a Tasteful way that the end plot turned the story around... Mr. Harriman didn't realize that the adoring fans wanted to see Mr. Funny Bunny, and in turn wanted to adopt from Fosters...

In short, Bloo's Little "Accident" was really a good thing.. after all too many imaginary friends in the house would have been way too funny but now that thanks to Bloo's Little blunder... the House is wide open now for new even more funnier things to happen..

so you could say, Funny Bunny is a hit.. even in my book.

That's all I really Need to say.

:coyote:

[raykremer]

This was a good episode.

However, I really wish they'd deviate a little from the "Mr. Hareman is a stick in the mud/Frankie's job sucks/Bloo behaving badly" formula that has made up nearly every epsiode after the premier. "Dinner is Swerved" was good that way, them being lost wasn't the fault of Bloo being a jackass.

[Numbuh 4]

I gave it a B, but now that I think about it... it's more like A-
Pretty good. I think we all can agree, this show is gonna rock.
