Lucas in Foster’s Home

I think he could also be Claus in disguise! :O

“Also, that reminds me, wasn’t there some cartoon that had a monkey blowing a bubble and floating out a window?”

Seems like that’s a bit common in media, ‘cept maybe the monkey part. I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a TVTropes article on it.

lol. Useless comment FTW!

I’d have mistaken some of these for sttlish fan art of Lucas had I seen them elsewhere.

Ness lookalikes… Lucas lookalikes… but where are Ninten lookalikes?

I saw this episode before this article, so how is it I never made the connection? Oh well, good find for those who noticed it.

Hm, so I’m not the only one who noticed this.

Actually, there WAS a monkey floating with bubblegum, but not out of a window.

I forget the episode name, but it’s in the episode where Coco makes baseball cards about everyone in Fosters, Bloo, being the selfish dork that he is, goes off to find all of them. About halfway through the show, some big burly Imaginary Friend leads Bloo to an alleyway, where a monkey in a trenchcoat and cinder blocks for feet shows him a briefcase full of cards, all in return the monkey asks for gum.

Bloo frantically searches for a ton of gum in which the monkey trades it, eats the whole dang thing and blew a big bubble, carrying him and his Cinder block shoes up into the sky.

I’m kinda sad that show’s over…

It’s like a Lucas/Calvin hyprid. I want to watch this show now.

It’s the hairstyle that cements the whole resemblance, in my opinion.

This biggest conspiracy since ness the ozzie boy

Sisto: anything people claim are “Ness” lookalikes should also claim they are “Ninten” lookalikes. Honestly, Ninten came first, so why do we only ever associate that look with Ness?

well, ness doesn’t wear a hankie!

The kid reminds me more of Flapjack than Lucas, since the hair at the bottom curls up a bit. Though it’s odd since this episode predates Flapjack. Both kids can fit Lucas’ description, though.

This show has had videogame references in it before. There’s no doubt this was intentional!

An alongside the Handkerchief fact Leirin, there’s also the fact tha Ness wears a Backpack and Ninten does not. Anyways, sometimes there ARE mistakes, but that’s not of such relevance.

Craig McCracken, the artist for Foster’s Home, actually said that he didn’t know anything about Mother 3 or EarthBound. Take that as you will.

What? Ninten doesn’t wear a “hankie”. He does in the commercials and in some artistic interpretations, but honestly, he doesn’t really have it.

Hypotenuse Man,
Craig McCracken wasn’t necessarily the person who designed the character

I understand completely. P: That’s why I didn’t say “This is definitely not a reference.”

Hm… I recall multiple video game references in this show as well
In the first one, there’s a game boy advance. Sometimes, the game consoles look like gamecubes, and… I forget the name of the episode… But there was this one where foster’s sells a bunch of old stuff, and this one guy tries to steal something, and they’re all on a wild goose chase. The thief runs into a mirror that these 2 guys, dressed as mario and luigi. And…. There was a reference to pac-man as well in another one…

Too uncanny to not be intentional, IMO anyways. Probably not on the creator’s part, but on one of the artist’s/designer’s for sure.

Holy hell…

Actually, I’m pretty sure the guy who made Foster’s has a DA, so you could try to ask him if you’d like.
Ah, here it is.

I’m pretty sure that’s him.

I remember seeing this a long while back and thinking “Nah, why would they put a reference to a game that has’nt been ‘released’ worldwide yet” and figured it was pure happenstance, but upon further consideration, I beleive it is quite possibly a M3 reference. Besides, they referenced things far more “obscure” than M3…the Big Labowski for example

yup Phones, that’s the one

speaking abouch which, isn’t there an episode of KND where Ness and Paula make a cameo?

LucidEnigma,
The Big Lebowski isn’t obscure, the Coen brothers are very popular film makers and they play on tv all the time.

@Lerin

It was kind of a joke. I know that Ninten and Ness are practically the same character.

Actually he has some Flapjack in his appearance too……

ADVENTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ guy : I did’nt mean obscure as in relatively unknown by the public, I meant obscure as in not “readily noticed” by the target demographic.

Wow, I did a little research and M3 came out a MONTH BEFORE this episode! Coinsidence??

There was also a clip, I think of that same episode, where Bloo and, er, the kid’s big sister masquerade for some reason to someone’s door and for some reason make a “Mother of 64″ joke. I saw it on YouTube back when this was pointed out on the Starmen.Net Forums. Either some writer’s trying to have his way, or the coincidence just got bigger.

Lol! I saw my little cousin watching this episode of Fosters home for Imaginary Friends, I actually couldnt believe it!

XD Well… on that cartoon there’s a Lucas? !

Well… on that episode he is taken care by his grandpa…

lol.

yup yup… i really need to watch this episode now.

OMG!!!! i have seen this episode [before i ever knew about the mother series] but now i know he looks like lucas! that is sooooooooo funny, he looks 1 Googol% like lucas. i hope to get the wii this christmas so i can play ssbb and play LUCAS VS CLAUS [lucas' costume].
and Ness vs. Lucas. but i think guiegue should be in the next smash brothers along with the masked man but, i’m not sure.

Yeah i agree Its like if lucas and evil klaus were combined

Haha I’ve seen this before and never noticed lol

Theres an explination for lucas not to act normal it was claus dreesed like and thats why he went missing!

It does look like Lucas. The hair style, color, the clothes…
And also adding that it seems that there is a “Mother of 64″ joke that Anonymonster pointed…
Oh nuts… I wanna see this episode!!

Yeah, I agree with CMB, he was from Foster’s Home. His name was Gumbo and is from cuckoo for coco cards episode

Okay, one of the people who makes FHFIF MUST be a Mother fan.
And just to clear things up, EarthBound is basically an enhanced remake of Mother. They just took some things out, changed things, and added new things.

I don’t think Anything about EB constitutes it as a remake. Sure the gameplay is similar and Ness, Paula, and Jeff do resemble Ninten, Ana, and Lloyd but with your logic you could more or less call Dragon Quest 2 a remake of Dragon Quest

Mr. Saturn. have you ever played Mother and Mother 2? The cities are different, the dungeons, within a lot other. And Gyigas in Mother 2 has that form because Ninten defeated him in Mother 1. Otherwise, he would have the same human-like form in both games.

The show loves to make cracks at popular internet phenomenon(dont know if thats spelled right)I.E the U.S. Earthbound community and youtube and Homestar Runner

in fact on their macys day float they rickrolld everyone
