"Fair"

By kero42, Aug 26, 2007

I liked this one, it was funny how Bloo used his hiccups to annoy people in the House, especially the part where Frankie is holding him down tryiong to make him drink some water and madame Foster comes by with that kooky luagh of hers weilding a hose. It was funny how, when ed and Mac were trying to figure out ways how to get rid of the hiccups, Ed suggesting that Bloo gets scared and tries to scare him. But bloo ends up scaring ed. At least, using Bloo's hiccups, Blake and his imginary friend could finally shut up with all of their boasting.moreless

"Superb"

By JPPT1974, Apr 25, 2006

This show I admit is kind of disgusting due to
The belching and the hiccupping from Bloo and his
Counterpart in this episode but also it was very funny as
I laughed very hard as Bloo had to be explained what
The Hiccups were by Mac. No wonder Mac is more very quiet, shy, and reserved!
While Bloo is lively and talkative

"Superb"

By ProfChaos2005, Feb 18, 2006

Hiccup Burp is so funny were we see Bloo having the hiccups for the first time.

How about for the funniest part in the episode is Wilt who completely screwed up the opening Talent Show cemomeny. GOD That's why I can't stop laughing.

Not my Favourite but Still funny though.

Bloo has the hiccups and starts bothering people. Comic genius to the max!

"Perfect"

By toadiscool, Dec 03, 2005

This is comic genius! Especialy when Frankie is taking to the imaginary friend and Bloo starts hiccuping. I laughed my butt off when I saw that. It was also funny because neither Blake or Bloo won the talent show. The only way to get invincable hiccups is to eat and drink a bunch of chips and soda at the same time.

"Great"

By NozeNuggets, Nov 06, 2005

This episode introduces us to Richie Wildebrat, Mac's in-school rival. If you think Terrence, Mac's older brother, was a real royal pain, Richie makes him look like...Terrance. After all, you can't argue perfect typecasting.

This episode centers around Richie and his Imaginary Friend, a super hero tiger named Blake Superior. Richie brags that he has the greatest imaginary friend ever, and I guess he's never met Uncle Pockets. These two scheme to purloin the act that Blooregard has with Mac from a case of the hiccups by having Blake burping the very same song Bloo was trying to perform. Hilarity ensues.

Also, the running joke about Wilt's hosting abilities in front of large crowds and Coco saving the day at the annual County Imaginary Friends Talent Show Pagent (which is the home's annual fund raiser) by taking over was genius.moreless

- Richie: How was your weekend? Bet you're wondering how mine was. Me and my amazing imaginary friend Blake Superior went to the arcade. It was like, impossible to find time to play because, as usual, everyone kept interrupting us to say how incredible Blake was the most incredible imaginary friend they had ever seen. But, because Blake Superior's awesome and he's got this intense focus, and he's like the best video game player there's ever been, he still managed to get the high score on Turbo Motor Racer 3. And the head of the real world professional auto racing circuit managed to see the whole thing and invited Blake to race in the pro turbo racing championship where Blake Superior drove five hundred laps all while filing Father's taxes and assisting firefighters on a daring rescue mission. Everyone said it was the most astounding thing they'd seen Blake Superior do. And then, the president of the United States called to tell him how he's the greatest imaginary friend who'd ever lived. And if the president says it, you know it's true.
