~ Bendy to Bloo. |
Bendy is a minor antagonist in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, serving as the titular main antagonist of the episode, "Everyone Knows It's Bendy". He is a troublemaker who always likes to do bad things and frame others for it.
He was voiced by Jeff Glen Bennett, who also voiced Dick Hardly, Major Man, the Joker, and Jacques von Hämsterviel.
Personality[]
Bendy appears to be very skilled in deception. He managed to easily fool Frankie and Mr. Herriman into believing others committed his actions. This is mostly due to the fact his family left him at the home for bad actions he did (though it might have actually been the couple's son). Since then, he was able to trick the two by using a fake sob routine. He always somehow managed to cover his tracks, and even got off scot-free when Bloo flooded the house in an attempt to expose him.
Bendy is also an extensive and substantial coward, as he uses his crying to convince Mr. Herriman and Frankie to that he didn't commit the acts he did and haphazardly sets off Bloo's traps when he is nearly exposed.
Appearance[]
Bendy is a furry yellow imaginary friend with spikey hair on the back of his head, black thick zig-zag stripes, and small bushy eyebrows.
Biography[]
"Everybody Knows It's Bendy"[]
At the beginning of the episode, "Everybody Knows It's Bendy", Bendy's family drops him off because of his supposed antics (i.e. stealing cookies). Frankie and Mr. Herriman assume that Bendy's creator, Gregory, is to blame (as children could sometimes blame imaginary friends when they do something bad). Gregory and his family leave in disgust (but Gregory and Bendy were very sad due to Gregory forcibly abandoning him).
Frankie and Mr. Herriman comfort Bendy and later, Bendy goes into the Arcade Room. Once there, Bloo asked him if he wants to play video games against the winner, but Bendy then pushes a flower and vase (which was an heirloom) off the TV and it breaks. He then runs away for a few seconds until Bendy was called back due to Bloo and Wilt saying it was Bendy who broke the vase. Bendy was going into fake tears and Mr. Herriman scolds the four of them for blaming Bendy. While Bendy leaves, the four of them are forced to clean up the mess.
Later, Bendy was later laying on the couch and littering the floor with potato chips and shoved the bag of chips into Eduardo's hand. When Mr. Herriman accused Eduardo, he pointed to Bendy, who fully blamed Eduardo (just like earlier in the Arcade Room). Bendy later uses Wilt's shoes to track mud all over the walls and floor and like Eduardo, the same thing happens to Wilt and Wilt has a guilty look on his face which means Frankie will have to get Mr. Herriman over here to punish him.
Later, Bendy comes up from underneath the table and steals frosting from the cake with his finger and blames Coco (like earlier). Finally, he writes Bloo's name on the wall and Bloo grabbed the marker and was blamed just like the others. All four of them were confined to their room with Coco staring down at her nest, Bloo and Eduardo in the corners, and Wilt with his head down on the bed. Later, the four of them placed a baseball and bat near some glass and wait for Bendy to arrive.
When he gets there, he does use the baseball and bat to break the glass, but the four of them still got blamed for it and sent back to their room (especially the fact that because of Coco's tongue slipping, the pictures found at the scene taken by Coco show Bloo holding the bat). Later, he hijacks the intercom and insults Mr. Herriman and Frankie before Bloo grabs it from him.
When Bloo got caught, Bendy was initially blamed, but his alibi was he was scrubbing the toilets with a toothbrush, which resulted in Bloo being punished of no more TV, Video games, and paddle-ball until further notice. Bendy then mentions that the toothbrush he is using is, in fact, Bloo's. While he leaves, Bloo and Bendy start laughing as though it was a competition and Bloo was scolded for laughing. But Bloo comes up with an idea to fully expose Bendy by catching him in the act.
Bendy later walks up to a jar of Frankie's cookies and opens the lid. Just as he was chewing the cookie, a rigged camera took his picture. He goes up to the camera and grabs the photo, which is covered on one side with glue. Because he tried to get the glue covered picture off of his hand, he loses balance and makes a noise when he fell, which draws the attention to Frankie and Mr. Herriman.
He tried to draw on the photo with a marker (that was sabotaged) and it explodes ink all over the place and on him. He runs into the restroom to clean the mess off, but the faucet handle broke off and the sink was overflowing. When Mr. Herriman and Frankie demand the perpetrator to come out of the restroom at once, he was using toilet paper to stop the water from coming out. But it was too late because the house flooded and destroyed part of the house.
After that, Bendy comes out of the bathroom, shivering in defeat with the photo stuck in his hand. Bloo explained that Bendy was guilty the whole time and was framing him, Wilt, Coco and Eduardo, and playing Mr. Herriman and Frankie for saps, but he caught him by setting up the camera, putting glue on the photo, sabotaging the marker, loosening the faucet handle, clogging the drain up, and backing up the pipe system, then exposes Bendy for the fraud he is.
Because of this, Bloo was scolded for flooding the house, but he claimed that Bendy was the one that took the cookie, which Frankie and Mr. Herriman don't care about. When Mac comes to the doorstep, he asked Bloo what he did. But as Bloo yelled "Bendy did it!," Bendy was using spray paint on the view (breaking the fourth wall), ending the episode.
In Video Games[]
Despite only appearing in one episode, Bendy has made at least 3 appearances in other Foster’s media. In the Game Boy Advance version of the game, he appears as a common enemy, where he throws objects at the player. In the Leapster version he steals Cheese's horse and Bloo must capture him. He makes a mess but like his episode appearance he gets away with no trouble at all. In the Nintendo DS, he breaks many busts and draws on the wall, only to get busted by Bloo and unlike the episode, he gets in trouble for his actions.
Trivia[]
- Unsurprisingly, Bendy is considered to be one of the worst characters in the entire series. Even Lauren Faust has regretted ever writing the episode. He was also completely written out of the show and never have another appearance in any episodes or mentioned since due to how much fans hate him since they were unpleased with the dull plot and tone of the episode and since Bendy went unpunished.
- Goofball John McGee is another hated character of the show, but fortunately, Goofball John McGee is not as bad as Bendy as while Goofball John McGee apologized for being a jerky slacker with an irrational appetite and redeemed himself at the end of the episode "Imposter's Home for Um... Make 'Em Up Pals", while Bendy did not.
- When Bendy was caught at the end of the episode it is believed that Bloo admitted that he sabotaged & ruined the trap, and Mr. Herriman and Frankie let him off free.
- Yet however, Bendy has never been seen in the series again, but it's possible that Bendy was finally caught for his heartless and hurtful misdeeds and got kicked out of Fosters off-screen.
- In the DS game, it’s confirmed that Frankie found out he was the culprit all along and Bendy was in trouble.
- Bendy may have just been misunderstood and because of that may have become the mean trickster he is. But his actions got worse over time and he fakely complimented Frankie and Herriman only to talk bad about them behind their back. Bendy may actually be evil though since his grin is incredibly sinister and manipulative every time. Also, he never stops what he does, as Bendy is shown getting away with everything he does wrong.
- Regarding his villainous role, there exists a possible speculation about his motivations to treat badly to Bloo and his friends. In the beginning, when Bendy was abandoned, his creator Gregory showed a deep regret in his face, heavily implying that the suspects of Frankie and Mr. Herriman was right of the boy to blame Bendy of his naughty actions out to fear of getting into trouble. Bendy, prior to being abandoned, begins to harbors a grudge against his creator by causing mischief in his house and blame him for his actions. As consequence, Bendy is now both abandoned and incapable to prove that his creator was the one responsible of the mischief, this caused him a deep bitterness for the unfair treatment, causing that Bendy had the urge to vent his frustration against others to feel better himself to put his victims in the same place that he was when his creator blamed him.
- His name is shown on Bloo's farewell card.
