"The Bloo Superdude and the Great Creator of Everything's Awesome Ceremony of Fun That He's Not Invited To" (also known as "Bloo Superdude & the Great Creator of Everything's Awesome" for short [1]) is the 9th episode of season 6 of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.
Plot[]
SPOILER: Plot details follow.
In the sequel to "The Bloo Superdude and the Magic Potato of Power!", our hero sets out on a quest to attend a ceremony honoring The Great Creator of Everything. In reality though, Bloo is sick with a high fever and has become delirious, making him think he's the Bloo Superdude...
Superdude's Perspective[]
The Bloo Superdude is engaged in a fierce battle with the villainous "Frankincensed," who refuses to let him attend a ceremony for the Great Creator of Everything. During their battle, the Superdude is defeated after accidentally flying into a wall, and is quickly taken prisoner by Frankincensed, who locks him up to "the Wheel of Misfortune" to determine his fate. The Superdude manages to escape the Wheel but is forced to battle against a bunny monster he releases by accident. The Superdude wins the fight and skins the monster to wear like a suit as he makes his way to the ceremony, only to be confronted by a fire-elemental monster. After defeating the monster by hacking a loogie at it, the Superdude meets a talking piece of broccoli, who acts as a gatekeeper to a portal to the ceremony. Before he can enter the portal though, the Superdude must pass a series of tests, which include:
- Retrieving some ambrosia from a vicious dragon lady.
- Retrieving some milk from the Sacred Cow of Eternity.
After completing the tests, the Superdude is allowed into the portal, only to find himself in a giant black void. Inside, he is then confronted by an angel, who tells him that he is infected by a black and evil sickness and must not attend the ceremony in fear of what it could do to the others in attendance. The Superdude, however, is insistent, thus the angel presents him with an elixir to expel the sickness within him and thus transports him to the ceremony. Before the Superdude can enter though, he is confronted by a 2-eyed, 2-horned, smiling, Purple People Greeter, who is guarding the entrance to the ceremony. Luckily, the Superdude quickly incapacitates the Greeter and takes out the other guests in attendance. With only Frankincensed and a smaller handful of guests left, the Supderdude takes the elixir, and gains the ability to fire rainbows out of his mouth, taking out everyone, including Frankincensed.
Suddenly, just as the Superdude can finish her off, he is confronted by none other than the Great Creator of Everything. Enraged at the Superdude for ruining his ceremony and attacking his guests, the Creator sentences him to be his servant by forcing him to cure his guests of the same sickness he was "cursed" with prior as penance, much to the Superdude's distress.
Actual Events[]
Today is Mac's birthday and Bloo is sick in bed with a nasty fever. Frankie, who wants to keep Bloo from infecting the others, force-feeds the stubborn Bloo soup to treat him and puts an extra blanket on him to prevent him from escaping. Bloo, however, wiggles free and after escaping from Wilt (who was standing guard), he meets Jackie Khones. Khones, amused by Bloo's delirium, sends him to steal a stack of hot dogs from Duchess, and to get some milk from Coco. After having his fun, Khones fetches Madame Foster to get Bloo out of his room and she gives Bloo cough syrup to treat his fever. After being hurdled down the stairs on a wagon he is met by Eduardo (who was also standing guard), but Bloo manages to get past him and drinks the syrup after encountering all the other imaginary friends attending Mac’s birthday party. Believing he is "cured", Bloo coughs on everyone else, only to be met by Mac. In the end, Bloo gives Mac his presents, which turn out to be IOUs, much to Mac's anger.
Next Day[]
In an ironic twist, an uninterested Bloo is now seen "taking care" of a delirious Frankie as part of his "penance" to the Great Creator of Everything (Mac used Bloo's IOUs to make him treat the others for being infected by him). He finds the task difficult though as now Frankie is too stubborn to cooperate.
Spoilers end here.

Cultural references[]
- This episode resembles the old story, Don Quixote.
- Bloo's hallucination of Mac as the Great Creator of Everything is an homage to the titular flying head from the classic sci-fi Zardoz. This is evidenced by the Creator's line "The fun is good! The dude is evil!" which paraphrases the Zardoz quote "The gun is good! The penis is evil!"
- The "Bloo Superdude" theme is sung by voice actor Jess Harnell and parodies the Flash Gordon theme by British rock band Queen, who were also composers for the 1980 movie with the same name.
- Frankie's delusion as "Frankarella" at the end of the episode homages Barbarella, the comic book and film character.
Goofs[]
- In "The Little Peas", Peas can't be heard by anyone unless he speaks in their ear or uses a megaphone. But in this episode, he can be heard very clearly when Bloo almost steps on him.
