Blooregard Q. Kazoo (seasons 2-6)

Blooregard Q. Kazoo, also normally known as Bloo for short, is one of the main characters of the American animated television series, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. He is an imaginary friend. Mac created Bloo when he was 3 years old, meaning that, by the start of the series, they had been creator and creation for five years. According to a trading card in the Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends Leapster game, Mac created Bloo when he had to give away his favorite blanket.

In the pilot movie for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Bloo was only slightly mischievous and showed at multiple points he had a very good heart underneath his occasional mean exterior. As the series progressed, some fans have complained that Bloo became progressively more anarchic, selfish, and obnoxious while showing far fewer genuinely nice moments, reaching jerkass levels in later seasons. While he was a more likable and tolerable character in Season 1, sadly, he was flanderized to being much more unlikeable from Season 2 to the final season and hasn't redeemed ever since.

Bad Qualities

 * This page covers the 2nd through 6th seasons of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. So, do not add any loathsome moments from the first season.
 * 1) He was supposedly Mac's best friend and was written that way in Season 1 with decent execution. However afterward, he was instead portrayed as a poisonous friend, making Eddy  from Ed, Edd n Eddy look way tamer by comparison.
 * 2) He has no character development. In fact, he is the complete opposite of character development, as he seems to gets worse each episode rather than better. He seems to never better himself from the morals of the episodes and usually even commits worse crimes as the series goes on.
 * 3) His mischief goes way too far, up to the point of breaking windows, stealing, endangering the household, and trespassing on federal property.
 * 4) He is narcissistic, greedy, and self-centered and seems to only care about himself. Every time he helps someone, there's some motive behind it.
 * 5) He is manipulative and willingly cheats friends out of their money.
 * 6) He barely said anything positive about anyone else throughout these seasons.
 * 7) His attitude makes everyone at Foster's hate him to the point that they left him at home when they went to the beach.
 * 8) Him boasting about getting ice charade tickets can irritate you. Even the other Foster residents couldn't stand him.
 * 9) He can also be very whiny and immature, such as in this scene, which is very annoying.
 * 10) Most of the time he’ll do exactly what Mr. Herriman and Frankie tell him not to do.
 * 11) He's abusive to Coco, Eduardo, and Wilt, the three of which are his friends.
 * 12) Although Bloo felt bad about it, he got Mac kicked out of Foster's for a while when he brought Goo into the house, leading her to spawn a lot of imaginary friends to the point that they covered the house.
 * 13) He was hypocritical when he told Mac that he wouldn't miss the trip to Europe for the world in "Foster's Goes to Europe", even though he was constantly changing his mind throughout.
 * 14) In "Schlock Star", he tried to steal Floppy Pants' role as the lead singer in the latter's band, despite the fact that he knows nothing about it.
 * 15) He told everyone about Mac having a crush on Frankie in "Bad Dare Day" for no reason other than to humiliate him.
 * 16) In "Cookie Dough," he was bossy towards everyone in the process of making cookies and had the nerve to fire them despite the fact that he put them through hard labor. Although he apologized for his actions, the residents forgiving him easily didn't earn him sympathy points.
 * 17) In "Camp Keep a Good Mac Down", he constantly made his friends' situation worse and endangered them, such as when he ate all their food and drank all their water. Mac yelled "This was all your fault!" at Bloo, but he got no punishment.
 * 18) In "Where There's a Wilt, There's a Way," he forced Wilt to get him food, even after Wilt snapped and told him no, he didn't care and just told him to do what he asked him.
 * 19) In "Bloo Done It", he tried to demonize another imaginary friend (Uncle Pockets) out of no more than petty jealousy for simply being labeled “The Best Imaginary Friend Ever", showing his jealousy.
 * 20) In "Bus the Two of Us," he committed several crimes after being told not to drive the bus, all of which he could get arrested for. He got no comeuppance for his actions and continued to joyride on the bus.
 * 21) In one of the most infamous episodes, "I Only Have Surprise For You", it was revealed in a retcon that Bloo constantly tormented Mac by throwing him humiliating prank surprise parties every year, even when Mac told him to stop. Bloo also got practically everyone in Foster's to participate with him in a new birthday prank, by playing what is essentially psychological warfare on Mac, manipulating him, and guilt-tripping him into humiliation himself by the end of the episode.
 * 22) Even in the series finale, he's still annoying and whiny. Also to make things worse, he even thought of killing Mac (even though he is most likely incapable of succeeding, but still it is a horrible mindset to have) and visit his grave every day when he thought Mac was leaving, so Mac dying was no loss to Bloo.
 * 23) Since he's the main character, he appears in every episode, meaning we have to put up with him in every episode.

Good Qualities

 * 1) He was way better in Season 1, where he was shown to be a more likable and gentle friend who is kind to everyone and is willing to protect his creator Mac.
 * 2) To be fair, he wasn't used to having much freedom at Mac's House before coming to Foster's, which apparently inflated his ego.
 * 3) His design is simple and relatively cute.
 * 4) Deep down he does care for his friends, especially Mac, his creator.
 * 5) He's a lot more enjoyable character in the CN City bumpers.
 * 6) More often than not, he receives comeuppance for his bad deeds.
 * 7) He did show empathy before, but not so much after Season 1.
 * 8) Even in the later seasons, he can sometimes be likable in some episodes.
 * 9) His alter-egos like Orlando Bloo and The Bloo Superdude may be brief but very funny and memorable bits from the show.
 * 10) He did apologize in these episodes: Cookie Dough, Cuckoo for Coco Cards, and Bad Dare Day.
 * 11) In the finale, he at least later refused to kill Mac when he saw Mac was pressured in packing, although getting the idea to kill him and starting to take action on it is still bad.
 * 12) Keith Ferguson did a good job voicing him despite his obnoxiousness.
 * 13) He is responsible for the "It's hot in Topeka" scene.
 * 14) Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends would not be the same without him.
