Mr. Herriman (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends)

Mr. Herriman is a supporting and recurring character in Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, a 2006 cartoon created by Craig McCracken on Cartoon Network. He has received a lot of backlash from fans due to how mean-spirited he is.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He constantly works Frankie to the bone, and hardly ever lets her have a break, and always making her work.
 * 2) In "I Only Have Surprise For You," he promises to Mac that he won't let Bloo throw him a party, but he agrees to it and shames Mac in an unnecessarily cruel way and mocks him when he dresses as a clown.
 * 3) He never gets any comeuppance for torturing Frankie and treating the friends like crap.
 * 4) In "Pranks For Nothing," he accuses Bloo of spilling water without any proof, and locks him in a closet. Though, to be fair, Bloo kinda had it coming due to not listening to his rules.
 * 5) In "Imposter's Home For Um... Make Em' Up Pals", he believes Goofball over Frankie, who is one of the most responsible characters in the series and also one of the nicest, and bans her from a concert she wanted to attend.
 * 6) In "Everyone Knows It's Bendy", he believes Bendy over the friends who have lived in the house far longer than he has, which is stupid. And while only thinking Bloo did the bad things wouldn't be better, it would at least make sense, considering how Bloo is practically a troublemaker.
 * 7) He is way too strict on the residents and hardly lets them do anything. It even gets to a point where even Frankie is annoyed by the rules.
 * 8) He punishes everybody in "Crime After Crime" just because he doesn't want them to find out about his carrot addiction. Why didn't he just ask them to leave the room?
 * 9) In "Bye Bye Nerdy", he tries to get Bloo adopted by another family, even though he promised Bloo would not be adopted. He even CHEERS when he's getting adopted. What?!
 * 10) He never gets punished or called out for his actions, even when he deserves it.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Despite being strict, the house would fall apart without him, as proven in "Let Your Hare Down".
 * 2) To be fair, him blaming Bloo was justified in "Pranks For Nothing", due to how he broke the rules, but that doesn't excuse him for locking him in the closet.
 * 3) He did get his comeuppance in "Crime After Crime".
 * 4) "Rules, Schmules? RULES, SCHMULES?!"
