Play on Words Puzzle (CLOSED)

My first Puzzle Giveaway!

CV needs to be 1+, so most people should be able to have a go

Sorry about the really bad image editing, I used MS Word because I think it's actually better then MS Paint for this stuff, believe it or not.

If it's too difficult then just let me know and I can add hints here

Ends sometime on the 28th of April for most people :D

Here is le link: http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/1SttOB7Z

(P.S.) as it's my first puzzle, please let me know if I fudged up :D tyty

---EDIT---
Alrighty so it was getting a bit difficult at the end; I knew the last ones were going to be more of a challenge. I don't think my answers are written strangely but obviously I understand now that I need a bit of variation and I've added it to the answers for 7 and 8. Oh and 3, 4, ---EDIT--- 5 ---END EDIT---and 6 are only one word (that might help)

Seems I'm learning more about this puzzle business as we go along!

---EDIT---
Added more answers for the few at the end so you can be less exact again - if you get the answers by now you'll understand what I'm trying to do

My next puzzle will have much more answers, don't worry :D

(if you're having issues with 3, ignore the cushion and the strap thing and focus on what the baby is actually doing, the answer is a compound word)

---EDIT---
Added even more answers :D glhf

---EDIT---
The poll results make me feel less like I'm the only one... Thanks :D

---YET ANOTHER EDIT---
Someone suggested to me an answer for 6 that isn't what I had but was pretty sweet so I added that answer too; they're both really similar but if you were having problems with 6 you might find your previous attempts could be correct (same as most of the others really; I added a lot of answers)

---MORE EDITING---
Added another few answers for Q7, as well as adding to the hint for Q8. The closer we get to the GA ending, the more hints I'll give.

I'll stick to one/two word answers next giveaway haha :D they seemed to work well. All about learning I suppose...

---HINTS HINTS HINTS---
Ok so this thing is ending in about one day, so I'm gonna add some hints here that should steer some people in the right track. I'd also recommend looking through the comments because there are some hints in there too (somewhere).

1) Google 'Futurama' if you don't know it, because you'll need to know who this character is to understand the pun here. The answer also includes a European country.
2) What's the man doing? What's he catching? If I'm fishing for dolphins, I'd be dolphin fishing. If I'm fishing for -- ...
3) The answer is also a verb for something teens often do for parents who'd like a break from these little buggars. Don't add 'ing'.
4) Where's the arrow pointing to, in regards to the word? It's pointing to the -- of the word, making the answer week--
5) The end of the word 'potato' could be extended to include the name for the appendage this potato has grown. (It's a simple matter of adding one letter to the end of the word)
6) What is the light replacing? Add that + 'light' (There's also another answer but I think this hint will be enough)
7) What's the cat on? 'Cat on a --'
8) Where's the ball? It's at some type of function (something you might do in your last year of school) - 'Ball at a --'

Okay, those hints should make this puzzle as easy as 1 2 3 (4 5 6 7 8) :D
