This episode... I can say without hyperbole, was absolutely nothing short of brilliant.

I know there is a lot choose from (A lot of the other funny scenes have been covered elsewhere in this thread), but I think one of the best scenes in the episode outside of the main stuff IMHO is when they did that dramatic close up (Complete with a swell of dramatic music) of "Craig McCracken" when he announced that he was going to make a VERY... IMPORTANT... EPISODE then the music stops, he stares at the camera for a second and walks away going, Uh Lauren? (I don't know why but that really cracked me up.)
I also laughed a lot at that small gag at the wrap party scene, where Coco slapped "Tom Hanks" for I guess making some kind of comment that is best left to the imagination.

Hah, yeah.
I laughed at that too. ^^ Tom Hanks is now a subject of amusement for me and my sisters. Yay.

Kageri, I agree with you in some ways.....though I certainly don't expect Bloo to be all "peaches and cream", he can maybe just SLIGHTLY be a little more kind to Mac. It makes no sense that in the pilot he was so sad, trying to help Mac out, wanting a HUG from him....all so later on, in eps like these, he can act like he doesn't care, use Mac to his every selfish desire, and act like he's plain bored with him or enjoys making fun of him. The difference between the charm and heart what was in the 1st season vs. this season is just shocking, at least to a devoted fan like me whose watched every ep. I noticed that too. It's slightly perturbing; but I have a new theory: Bloo grows backwards. Check out his first few lines in "Dinner is Swerved" -- his voice is way lower than it is now! DUDE! And now he's getting more immature. This supports my explanation: Bloo is going through backwards puberty (scientific name: "jerkius voicecrackius") On the pilot episode thing: I've noticed that Bloo changes completely when he is backed into a corner. In this episode, he took advantage of Mac because he could. In the pilot, he was faced with the serious dilemma of being separated from him forever, which might be why he was so much less controlling in "House of Bloos". Okay, I totally made that up, but it kind of makes sense to me. No, it makes perfectly good sense to me as well, at least the part about Bloo altering his personality depending on whether HE stands to lose something. In the pilot, he was in real danger of losing his only real friend(at that time), and had been put out of the only home he'd ever known(though I can now understand why). Naturally, he needed to make a really, really good impression to get the deal he wound up with, and now that he's got it, he can let his true self show. Bloo may be a jerk, but he's clearly not a STUPID jerk. He knows how to manipulate people, and if that means being nice to get what he wants or needs, he can do that, sure. The only time I've seen Bloo act nice, and show sympathy towards anyone else when he didn't have anything to gain from it was in "Seeing Red", when he felt sorry for Red after doing all those mean things to him, when Red started to cry about how everyone was mean to him. Pretty much any other time when Bloo has been really nice, it's because he stood to gain something from it. pitbulllady |

Bloo's not one of those people (generally speaking) who has a "mean streak"; he is a jerk, and that's it. And it puzzles me when people expect him to change.... he's been a jerk since the very second episode, if not the first. Bloo wants what he wants and wants to do what he wants to do. He's like the little kid in the sandbox who doesn't want some toy until someone else has it (Land of the Flea). |

Well I know this episode did rule without question in my own eyes, but it was missing one thing that would have put it over the top...
A parody of the movie SHAFT, It would have been peferct...
I hear that Wilt's a bad mother...
Shut yo mouth!
But I'm talking about Wilt.
We can dig it.
He's an imaginary friend and no one understands him but his women...
Wilt!

I wonder if the only reason they DIDN'T do that is because it would either seem too "ethnic", or because most of the show's viewers would have no clue who "Shaft" was, not being old enough(unlike me)to remember the series and the movie it was based upon. pitbulllady |

I don't think the age of the target audience would have stopped them, actually.  *Possibly* the ethnic thing (unfortunately) though. But, I dunno. That's funny. ;D |

Yeah that could it,
Actually another movie parody I hoped they would have put in the episode ,would be a parody of Pulp Fiction (Which would actually make sense as Phil Lamarr did have a role in that film.) But I knew they wouldn't because that might have been a little too mature/obscure for the majority of the viewing audience. (Unless they parodied the less offensive scenes like the dance contest or the Cheeseburger in France scene.)

I dunno...Bloo's movie parodied a LOT of "mature" movies and directors, including David Lynch and Wes Craven. Most kids know of the "Nightmare on Elm Street" films, but few would be familiar with any of Lynch's strangeness. pitbulllady |

(That scene with Coco Vs Coco Vs Coco in that "Mexican standoff.") And a parody of Orson Welles "Citizen Kane" (The snow globe.) as well. |

About the screenshots, how come EVERYONE has 4 fingers (apart from occasional bloopers) as cartoon characters do, and Craig has 5?

GO FREAKING WILT. I was so glad to see him recieve proper credit for his awesomeness. I love this episode so much, probably third favorite for sheer Wilt-ness.
Out of curiousity, what was the credit sequence?
