Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Accidental Innuendo]]: When Mac, Bloo, and Cheese are building their go-cart, Bloo mentions about Cheese screwing everything up. How does Cheese respond? "Nuh-uh, I'm only screwing the wheel!"
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20101019115109/http://talkingincircles.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/fosters_final_episode.jpg This] [[St. Elsewhere]] parody.
* [[Base Breaker]]: Cheese
* [[Broken Base]]: The show attempts at [[Black Comedy]] and/or [[Kafka Komedy]] ("Foster's goes to Europe", "I only have surprise for you", etc...) usually resulted in this.
* [[Canon Fodder]]: Wilt. His [[Backstory]] wasn't revealed until the special "Good Wilt Hunting", spawning many, ''many'' [[Fanfic|Fanfics]] that provided their own explanation for his scars and history, often treading into [[Darker and Edgier]] territory than the actual series.
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Madame Foster. Worried you'll get in trouble for starting a party in the house? You sure will ''for not having her along.''
Line 10:
* [[Creator's Pet]]: Cheese was this for many fans.
** Bloo started to become this for a few fans after a while.
** Ironically, the reason Cheese became a [[Creator's Pet]] is becausethat he was [[Ensemble Darkhorse|immensely popular]] with the fans in his debut episode. You know what they say; there's such a thing as [[Pandering to the Base|too much]] [[Just for Pun|cheese]].
** Goo was also one to an extent.
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: Mr. Herriman. Near the end of ''Destination: Imagination'', when he {{spoiler|admits that he was wrong about Frankie and finally shows her some respect, even trusting her judgment in opening the box containing World.}} For long-time fans who are familiar with the characters, it's especially touching.
* [[Do Wrong Right]]: In "Partying Is Such Sweet Soiree", Madame Foster has a prohibition on parties ''without her''.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Cheese ([[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|"I. Like. Chocolate milk..."]]) and Jackie Khones.
** Goo is a pretty popular character as well.
* [[Flanderization]]: Bloo wasn't ''nearly'' as much of a jerk in the early seasons.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: "World Wide Wabbit", which sees footage of Mr. Herriman's dancing for Madame Foster being uploaded to the internet, seems to be a spoof of [[YoutubeYouTube Poop|YouTube Poops]]... until you realise that the episode premiered ''before [[YouTube]] even existed''.
** Anything that involves [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|the ponies/unicorns/pegasi]].
*** [http://www.fosters-home.com/screengrabs/1/17-0034.jpg Could that possibly be Rainbow Dash?]
Line 28 ⟶ 29:
* [[The Scrappy]]: [[Karma Houdini|Bendy.]]
* [[Toy Ship]]: Mac and Goo
* [[Villain Decay]]: Duchess. She was really only a villainous character in the pilot. After that, she just became snobby and apathetic to everyone around her.
* [[The Woobie]]: Wilt, Frankie, and many times, Mac.
** World, the [[Reality Warper|reality-changing]] friend inside the toy box's imaginary world in ''Destination Imagination'', is probably the biggest woobie in the series. The majority of the events in the special happened because of his emotional instability.
*** Which only existed because he'd been locked up intsideinside a trunk by his creator's parents for an extremely long time, where he could create absolutely anything he wanted...except other sentient beings to share it with. No wonder the little guy was an emotional timebomb.
** Also '''[[Tastes Like Diabetes|Foofy]]''' '''[[Baby Talk|Wuggums.]]'''
** To a certain extent, Goo, at least in her debut episode. Prior to meeting Mac, she had no human friends and created imaginary friends to keep her company. It's even a bit worse in hindsight because when she tells this to Mac, she says nobody likes her because she's a "big, fat weirdo", subtly implying she might have been bullied before. There's also the possiblitypossibility that her parents aren't much help because they give her too much freedom and little to no guidance.
