Goo Goo Ga Ga is a character from the Cartoon Network animated television series Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, voiced by Grey DeLisle. She is one of the two overall pentagonists of the series. She is Mac’s best (human) friend. Goo’s extremely talkative, odd, and obnoxious, but at the same time, incredibly imaginative, energetic, lively, enthusiastic, playful, creative, fun-loving and nice.

Appearance[]

Goo is an African American girl with black hair tied in three braids, one tied with a pink hair tie/hair clip with a red heart on it, another tied with what seems to be a normal, yellow hair tie and the lower braid tied down with a paperclip. She has freckles between her eyes and a gap in her teeth. She wears a rainbow long-sleeved shirt, short blue overalls and yellow cowgirl boots.

Biography[]

The fast-talking Goo Goo Ga Ga (called Goo for short and referred to by her full name only in her first appearance "Go Goo Go") has a hyperactive imagination. Whenever she went near Foster's, she became over-stimulated and created scores of new imaginary friends. She was, therefore, banned from the house indefinitely. Her name is a reference to the stereotypical sound that a baby makes. Her parents, who don't believe in "stifling her creative mind," allowed her to pick her own name as an infant, so when baby Goo said "Goo Goo Ga Ga", her parents decided that those "words" must be her name. Her parents also have to drop by at Foster's to leave at least twelve of Goo's imaginary friends, yet they refuse to make her stop for the aforementioned reason.

Unaware of the rule, Mac brought her inside after an incident involving an eight-man toboggan stuck in a tree that Bloo needed (even though it was the middle of June; it was a long story that he didn't feel like telling), which broke the strap on his backpack. In any case, after seeing Bloo, she imagined up a horde of similar versions, all with one extra feature or another. After Bloo let her in the next day, Frankie and Mr. Herriman got the mistaken impression that Mac let her in and that he was in love with her, much to his growing annoyance/anger.

After Goo filled the house with so many friends that it became unlivable, Frankie and Mr. Herriman said that Mac shouldn't come to Foster's anymore, probably ever, because they believed Mac was responsible for Goo always going there. Because of this, Mac, having had enough, finally snapped and let it out on her saying that he doesn't like her and tells her that she's annoying, weird and talks too much and too fast, because she's a chatterbox and that everyone thinks/knows she is a nuisance and wants her to just go home. Goo was then driven to tears and dropped the box with his backpack in front of him, running into Bloo's bedroom. Stunned by this, Mac followed a sobbing Goo in after finding a letter thanking him for being nice to her and seeing that she fixed his backpack for him. Goo then revealed that the reason she created imaginary friends all the time is because she was lonely and that the other kids won't play with her since they find her to be too weird. Mac told her that imaginary friends are real friends and that they love her for who she is. He also told her to stop imagining so many friends in order to get to know the ones she already created. After which, he apologized for hurting her feelings and told her that if she's not too upset, he wants to be her friend, too, to which she gladly accepts. From then on, she learned to control her imagination and was welcome at Foster's (and Mac was allowed to visit Foster's again).

Though she has committed herself to not make any more imaginary friends, she still sometimes does so accidentally or to sometimes help with something, and she has devoted herself in making sure her scores of imagined friends have a place to live. Since her debut, Goo has become a recurring character in the series.

Goo might actually be the most powerful human in the Foster's universe. Her extreme and unbridled imagination can allow her to create any imaginary friend to suit her desire, from several friends to help create a paper mache pony, to an out-of-control living car jack. She could practically create an entire army at a whim.

Trivia[]

  • Goo appeared briefly in The Grim Adventures of the KND, the crossover episode with Codename: Kids Next Door and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, appearing as one of the characters the Delightful Reaper assimilated. She along with Mac were two of the kids to pop out of the recently defeated Delightful Reaper, after Grim and Numbuh 1 destroyed it and saved the world from it. This means that the Delightful Reaper had, off-screen, came to the Foster's mansion and assimilated her and Mac.
  • Goo bears some similarities to Mac with both having few friends outside of Foster's, neither is allowed to have imaginary friends and both are the only two human characters that are children to visit Foster's regularly.
  • She, along with Cheese and Terrence, didn't appear in any episodes that premiered in 2008.
  • Among the main characters, Goo is one of the characters that never was arrested and jailed during the series. The others are Frankie Foster, Cheese, Terrence, and Duchess.
  • Goo's golden trading card statistics from the Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends Leapster game include:
    • Likes imagination.
    • Is NOT Mac's girlfriend.
    • Gave Mac a new backpack.
    • Likes her reorganization of Foster's Adopt-a-Thought Saturday.
  • One of her gold trading cards in the Leapster game states she gave Mac a new backpack, but this is not true; she gave him the same one with the shoulder straps fixed.
  • She can be seen as Mac's first human friend, as he was established not to have any initially.
  • Her parents do not seem to be good at raising her; with the implication they are a lazy "believe in freedom" stereotype or are simply negligent. It's only thanks to Mac snapping at her that Goo begins to mature some.
    • The fact her legal name is baby gibberish shows incompetence on her parents' part.
    • They don't want to "stiffle her creativity" but also won't let her keep her imaginary friends.
    • Goo only creates imaginary friends because it's implied her parents either work too much or ignore her; again meaning it's their fault.
    • Goo was hyperactive, very confused about the world and unable to understand the feelings of others. Again, something her parents should have been teaching her.
