Another fine example of a episode of Foster's Home that while it is geared towards children, adults laugh at the subtle comments such as the quote above. It turns out that everything that Bloo is doing is against the rules of Mr. Herriman. He hovers over Bloo and corrects his mistakes ever step of the way. Finally, Bloo reaches a breaking point at which he doesn't want to move so he can't break any rules. However, he flies into a huff when Mac shows up, bumps into a pedestal with Madame Foster's statue/bust on top, and it falls to the ground to shatter to pieces. The group then scrambles through several ideas to little success just to find out that Herriman has a closet full of busts in his office.

Right from the start, this episode made me laugh. Though geared towards juvenile humor with having to pee, Bloo's voice and expressions make the events more comically appealing. The mad escapades are also giggle-worthy, but I personally got more humor out of the continued angering of Frankie. He willingness to yell at Herriman is hilarious.

This was a great episode and a good show primer after the pilot/movie. Laughs all around.moreless

In that episode, Ren, having overheard that there might be treasure inside the head of the statue of Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial, smashes open the head to find out for himself (the 'treasure' turns out to be caramel corn). The duo then spend the rest of the episode trying to reconstruct the head in various ways before their boss returns and discovers what has happened.

ALLUSIONS (1)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- The repeating gag with Frankie putting the toilet paper over not under is reference to a debate whether its proper to have the open end over or under.
