What the thing was between him and the blanket. Was he trying to imply that Toaster and Blanky were in love with each other in a romantic kind of way or something?
This is not a troll question. Is that what Lampy was implying or am I just looking into it too deeply.
My guess is that caring for one another may be an aquired trait or something for talking, anthropomorphic appliances. They're all pretty callous towards Blanky, anyways.
Who busts the Crimebusters?
All of the main appliances are implied males in the movie, simply because it must have felt natural to assign them genders. In the original novella, the sexless gender-neutrality of appliances is emphasized. The movie makes obvious distinctions when it comes to the relatively few females shown.
As for what Lampy meant...he was simply wondering why Toaster suddenly seemed to have forged a stronger bond with Blanky and become noticeably more caring towards him. Over the course of this film and its sequels, all of them grow a great deal closer, and begin to treat Blanky in particular more kindly and as part of their little "family." Being the most "soft-hearted" of the group aside from Blanky, Toaster led the way in that regard.

The lack of gender pronouns and names in the book always bugged me. Just made it really irritating to read.
IMHO there's a big difference between characters calling each other "Toaster" and "Radio" and "the toaster" and "the radio".
In a foreign dubbed version, Toaster becomes a male and Lampy a female.
sharethat's what i think and i was shocked when i noticed that while watching it a few hours ago. and then i saw the credits and realized that toaster is a girl..
shareDo you mean he's played by a girl - using that logic, Bart Simpson is a girl too.
I'll have to rewatch the movie to see if anyone says "he" or "she" at anytime in reference to the toaster, but I think if he was a she they would have put make up on "her" (look at all the other female appliances).
My favorite Final Destination is the 4th – DEAL with it!
I think in the film Kirby asks "Where's Toaster?" at one point and Lampy says "He sank." So I think all of the appliances are male.

I'm not sure the gender of the characters is even important, but the director of The Brave Little Toaster, in an interview on reddit, referred to Toaster as a she.

Lampy is a bit of a ditz, but I think all the appliances never really had a handle on what it meant to empathise with each other (look how easy they conspire with each other in More, More, More and how quickly they are to demonise/terrorise each other in It's a B-Movie!) or even extend care to something that's not The Master, so when he sees Toaster being all kind with Blanky, it's generally confusing to him. It's only until Toaster frames it in such a way for it to be personal/appealing to Lampy can he understand how important it is for Blanky and what Toaster gets out of it in return (remember, Toaster has just as much a hard time trying to explain what looking after someone reaps and has to use toast-specific descriptors).
shareLampy wasn't implying a romantic relationship. Remember that the first night they settled for the night that Toaster pretty much told Blanky off when he wanted someone to sleep next to and just hours later, Toaster essentially broke the heart of something so badly that it died (refer to the flower scene in the meadow). He was probably thinking about Blanky as he walked away and wanted to make up for it.

It was friendship because he blanket was seen as the baby child of the bunch; the one who couldn't take care of himself, and was always looking for someone to call a brother or sister.

Yeah
And thanks.
Toaster is just the motherly character among the group, he/she (whatever) was just looking out for blanky.
