Yep, his full name is Paul Butcher, and he IS off of Zoey 101.

Actually, I found that short to be very good. I like the phycological idea of being an imaginary friend. It was interesting hearing an imaginary friend muse about their exsistance.

It was interesting hearing an imaginary friend muse about their exsistance. 1000/10 Yeah, it is, even though this particular concept is different from the IF's in Foster's, in that only his creator can see/hear him, and no one else believes he is real. It's interesting that out of all the IF's on f'oster's, only Mr. Herriman, who has never experienced abandonment or abuse or being blamed for what his creator did, has ever commented on what it is like being an Imaginary Friend. I would bet, though, that eventually one of the other characters will comment on this, and what it is like being so absolutely devoted to someone who brought you into existance, KNOWING that eventually that person would grow tired of you and lose all interest in you, or that his/her parents would pull rank and force you to leave. That existance has got to suck, really and truely. pitbulllady

I thought about that. It must be terrible to know that despite the hugs, gentle kisses on the cheek and constantly being told 'I love you', that in the end, the 'love' is usually not true.

Just think about it. If the invisible imaginary friends existed, just imagine how many times they'd get sat on anyway, even after you told someone they were sitting on them. That makes me glad I'm not actually invisible.

In real life, too. I think that's one of the things that makes Foster's so popular, an underlying theme of abandonment. A lot of people can empathize with that. I know I do.

Wow, what a video. Thanks for sharing that!! It was sad, but also interesting. It makes me teary in the sense that this must be similar to what IFs in Foster's feel after they are abandoned. Even WORSE, actually, because the parents/kids CAN see them, and know they are real...and yet, in most cases they get left behind like yesterday's worn out toy. And that is why, Craig gives us the true point of his show, rebellion! (In a sense.) That true friends can never be torn apart. ~Ami~

The ending of that short made me think of the movie Bogus. That too handled the idea of an Imaginary Friend who no one but the child could see. In the end Bogus commented on how being an IF is about being needed, and loved when they need you. And then one day they won't need you - and think back on you when they're older. Then he walks away and meets another child during the credits who pretty much adopts him as her new IF.
It's interesting looking into the whole idealism of being an ImaginaryFriend. Brought into existance by a child, truely believing in their love and devotion. But you'd still forgive them if they blamed you for something bad (bad as in cookie eating, that's Xtreme bad to some kids). It made me wonder just how Eduardo, Wilt and Coco handled their abandonment.

It made me wonder just how Eduardo, Wilt and Coco handled their abandonment. In my Sims 2 game, in order to have the IF's not all be related, I created them as separate households, with their creators, and used the "merge families" feature to move them into Foster's one at a time, then moved their creators back out, as if they were just dropping the IF's off, which they were. Bendy and Berry hardly noticed, Eduardo and Coco took it very well, but Wilt, unfortunately, was visibly upset. It was heartbreaking to watch, Sim or not.

p.s. this forum really needs a adult section. That is simply impossible while we are with proboards because they won't allow it. But we won't be with them forever, and once we're out from under their thumb, we can revive that discussion.

It seems that on the show, out of the "core" group of IF's, Wilt STILL is taking abandonment the hardest, and has the most issues, so to speak, about it. Of course, I guess that how well or how badly an IF deals with being given up or abandoned(there IS a difference, since abandonment implies that the IF was simply left on his/her own, with no concern for his/her survival)depends on the relationship with his/her creator, since I guess some are much closer and more loyal than others, and some may actually have some time to prepare, as best as possible, for that inevitable time. For others, it might come as a complete shock. pitbulllady

There's also the question of whether an IF's creator was forced to abandon his friend by his parents or other circumstances, or if the kid simply got tired of him. I think the latter would hurt far more.
