Phone Home (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends)

"Phone Home" is an episode from the first season of mh:besttvshows:Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends and is the tenth episode overall.

Summary
After Wilt has received the "Friend of the Month" award yet again for several times in a row for rescuing a Friend, Bloo tries to end his streak by saving an imaginary friend of his own.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Bloo is an unlikable jerk in this episode. He tries to steal Wilt's success and is only willing to rescue friends for his own gain.
 * 2) Bloo is also a huge idiot to think that the random guy in a phone costume is an Imaginary Friend, even though the guy in the phone costume isn't even an imaginary friend as Bloo thinks, otherwise the phone would have eyes and a face.
 * 3) Speaking of whom, the phone costume guy is on the receiving end of torture as he is made to stand outside in the hot weather to advertise the cellphone shop.
 * 4) There's an unsettling torture scene where the cellphone guy has the buttons on his costume jumped on by Bloo as the man inside the suit is grunting in pain.
 * 5) The guy inside the cellphone suit never takes off his costume to reveal his identity, which would have provided a great opportunity to stand up for himself.
 * 6) Mac only appears at the end to reveal that he caught his first friend, only for Frankie to inform him that it isn't a competition.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The beginning was good as Wilt was helpful to an imaginary bone friend by saving it from being bitten by a swarm of angry dogs.
 * 2) The cellphone guy freely escapes after Bloo realizes the Friend of the Month award isn't a contest.
 * 3) Bloo at least learns his lesson by getting kicked by the cellphone guy.
 * 4) Wilt is likable as usual.

Trivia
The title of the episode references the famous quote from the 1982 Stephen Speilburg film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
