I think the best one for Fosters conspiracys is where the home is actually a mental hoisptal of sorts and Mac goes there everyday after school for treatment and he just sees everyone as "the friends".

[chesiregirl]

Frankie couldn't have been an imaginary friend; she imagined the scribbles when she was younger.

[MadSparrow]

"Can an imaginary friend have an imaginary friend?"
Yes. It's called imaginaryfriend-ception.

[SerDread]

actually, there is an entire episode dedicated to her imaginary friends. IE: the scribbles

[IonicApple]

I love how she spends most of the episode explaining a theory, then tells us NOPE JUST WASTED UR TIME THNX 4'WATCHING

[JasminePaygeBrooke]

More big problems with this theory:
1) Imaginary Friends do seem to have the ability of forming crushes. In the episode where Frankie went on a date, an imaginary Prince was immediately infatuated with her, and Bloo also seemed to be forming a crush.
2) In the episode where the whole house got their picture taken, we see a bunch of older photos, showing both a younger Madame Foster and a younger Frankie growing older. Imaginary Friends aren't shown to age, which is why some of them - like Uncle Pockets - have had so many foster kids and yet not seem to age a day.

Still a cool theory though, and I'd be totally fine if it was real. (As a kid, the fact that Frankie never seems to MENTION her parents kinda made me think that maybe she was an Imaginary Friend.)

[SurrealKangaroo]

I remember in a episode Mac and Bloo were looking through a bunch of old pictures and we saw Frankie and Madam Foster age. So I'm going to say they are both humans.

[quinncohen]

There is no way Frankie could be an imaginary friend. In the episode where Blue let's out the scribbles, we see a flashback into Frankie's childhood when she let out the scribbles. As far as I'm aware, the imaginary friends don't age and she was clearly a child in that.

[starbutterfly]

Craig McCracken himself confirmed on his Twitter that this isn't true.

[Neonray]

Ummmm Frankie did have an Imanginary friend. The scribbles were made BY her. She pulled a Goo and made more than ONE scribble. She even said to Mr. Herriman that She was sorry after the incident of flooding the house with the scribbles.

"But hey, this is just a Theory, A GAME

[Allsheneededwassome]

- What if Fosters home of imaginary friends and Timmy turner are both in the same universe and Frankie is Vicky's sister. Frankie was taken away from her parents for child abuse and sent to live with her grandmother (Madame foster) who couldn't take care of two kids so she sent Vicky to an orphanage and that's why Vicky is cruel to children's day doesn't take care of them now because her grandmother couldn't take care of her, she was abused by her parents and then her grandmother went on to look after imaginary friends. So she feels the needs to abuse Kids with both there parents.

[uberdudeDude]

and the creepypasta just a keep on coming

[fluffzone]

I love how in the end she's like "fuck it, I don't get paid enough to think so much about a kid's show."

[Dukeofnachos]

Herriman was imagined when Madame Foster was a kid. It's stated like 3000 times. She even mentions that he used to do a little dance for her when she was little. However, the reason that she can't be imaginary is that she remembers and knows things that Frankie does not. Even more, don't you think Herriman would act differently toward her if she were simply a replacement for the ACTUAL Madame Foster? His creator and best friend? He would treat her even worse than he treats Frankie.
But it's my understanding that if you imagine a Friend can do something, then they can. For instance, the monsters that teenagers make, or the superheroes that guy and his sister made. I think it's possible that if Madame Foster wanted an heir, she just imagined Frankie to be able to grow up and learn and believe she was human until the time came.
I've noticed that on this channel, you seem to never think a theory is possible, even if you have to blatantly cut out parts of the theory and ignore parts of canon. Why is that?

[Chronas.]

I get the clothing part like how both of them are wearing the same skirt and green But the rest no t really. I've always had this huge crush on Frankie

[RaspberryHeart]

I remember there being an episode with Frankie as a child creating the scribbles. Since imaginary friends don't age, Frankie has to be a real person.

Frankie isn't real?! - The Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends Theory: Cartoon Conspiracy (Ep. 10)

[shatnerp]

I just realized such a resemblance between my current 5th grade teacher and frankie

- They both have actual red hair (not like ginger)
- they're both 22
- they both wear a jacket all the time
- they both wear a necklace
- they both wear their hair in a ponytail
- they both wear high tops
Thats it :P

[isabellafelipedeoliveiraca]

I would like to hear two theories for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends: where the hell Madame Foster gets the funding to run a home with so many imaginary friends who need feeding and care, and one about how the mansion is so freaking big with so many rooms and halls that it looks like some sort of multidimensional mansion, like a Time Lord's Tardis. Really, in some episodes I remember the mansion has halls and rooms that couldn't possibly be there. It probably also has something to do with the toy box from the classic episode Destination: Imagination - maybe the natural magic in the human mind that can create imaginary friends can also create other magic things like a mansion so big that it isn't created by normal means.
