Bendy (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends)

Bendy is a one-time character from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, who appears in the infamous episode, "Everyone Knows It's Bendy" as the titular main antagonist. He is the imaginary friend of a boy named Gregory who was sent to Foster's because of his troublemaking.

Why Everyone Knows He Sucks

 * 1) For obvious starters, he causes trouble all over Foster's. He is characterized as a troublemaker who wants to put everybody through hell and ALWAYS succeeds at doing so.
 * 2) His characterization is really flat and one-dimensional. He gets Bloo, Coco, Wilt, and Eduardo in trouble for no explainable reason. Though to be fair this is also the result of bad writing on the episode he appears in, and the fact that a lot of important scenes were cut said episode, presumably due to time constraints doesn't help.
 * 3) He made Frankie and Mr. Herriman unlikable jerks by making them take his side over the guys at Foster's with his made-up sob stories, making them both additionally out-of-character.
 * 4) *Worse still, his acting skills of making up sob stories is very poor and unconvincing, considered that its Four(Bloo, Coco, Wilt, and Eduardo) against One(Bendy), so much to the point that each time Frankie and Mr. Herriman fall for it, it makes the two look like complete idiots.
 * 5) Whenever he is about to cause a misdeed, or most infamously, gets anyone in trouble and gets off scot-free after that, he makes an evil and downright cruel grin. This is, without a doubt, one of the most infamous reasons why fans despised this character, and even worse, Bendy grins right at the character he just framed.
 * 6) The worst example is with out a dough Coco, as Bendy touches the cake with his finger, he's stares at Coco with a grin the whole way he does that deed.
 * 7) Near the middle of the episode, Bendy acts very mean-spirited to Bloo as he both frames and later mistreats Bloo while the latter tries his hardest to get him frame. for these examples.
 * 8) He frames Bloo by letting him take the marker that he use to write Bloo's name on the wall just as Frankie and Mr. Herriman walks in.
 * 9) He gets Bloo frame again by running away after using the basball bat to break the glass window.
 * 10) The outright worst moment is during the intercom when he's insulting Frankie and Mr. Herriman. Not only does he once again get Bloo frame by letting him take the intercom devise from his hand, allowing Bendy to escape and gets Bloo frame again, which also cause the latter to get grounded, but as one final blow on Bloo, Bendy uses Bloo's toothbrush to clean the toilets, which is outright cruel as that toothbrush previously belonged to Mac, not to mention its super disgusting.
 * 11) His voice is very horrible, whiny, and ear-piercing, such as the annoying scene where he and Bloo tried making a louder laugh at each other, and every time he fakes cries in front of both Frankie and Mr. Herriman to be spared from any punishment whatsoever.
 * 12) He never gets punished for framing the imaginary friends at Foster's out of malice and gets off scot-free at the end, which makes him a karma houdini.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) His design is pretty decent, but not that great.
 * 2) He did get initially scolded and blamed for flooding the house, which is perfect karma until Bloo ruined it.
 * 3) He thankfully only appeared in one episode and never appeared again.

Reception
Whenever Bendy is about to frame an imaginary friend and gets off scot-free after framing said imaginary friend, he makes a very slimy, evil, and downright cruel grin; that in particular has been widely criticized by fans for being horribly obnoxious, especially when he does this to a certain favorite character of fans. Due to this, following the episode he appeared in, he was completely removed from the show. Lauren Faust apologized to fans for making Everyone Knows It's Bendy.

He and Goofball are considered to be two of the most hated characters in the show, even surpassing both Bloo and Duchess combined.

Trivia

 * Bendy is known for being the very first character in the Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends series to be writin off character and is 100% non-cannon to the rest of the series, due to his VERY poor reception by fans and critics alike.
