21:00 Speaking of Trixie, did you know *her voice actress is blind* , and therefore has to read ALL her lines in Braille? She deserves a lot of respect
Dang, that’s pretty awesome!
What an epic gamer tbh
That’s so fcking cool bro thank you for sharing that
Now that's something I didn't know! I would of never guessed that.
That’s next level acting
Edit: never thought I would see a comment of mine from a year ago
I'll say this about Butch, despite his insanity, I appreciate his design philosophy of 'easy for kids to memorize and draw'. It's a little ironic considering his own tracing but I enjoyed all of his draw-a-long's as a kid nonetheless.
Stephen Silver was the character designer for the show. Guess the two made quite a team
Yeah he really did strike gold when he came up with his angular and simplistic drawing style. His current drawings however…
Too bad Butch himself is a terrible person who doesn’t deserve to live.
Can someone please give me a full run down of what he did? The plagiarism thing was stupid and he deserves to get flack for that, but people are acting like he molested kittens. Is it really all because he made a bad acceptance speech tried to start his own Pureflix knockoff or is there more? On the note of that streaming service, wasn’t the tag line “A streaming service to save the family” already kind of a red flag in terms of being on the more religious side?
@@tatehildyard5332 he told people to give him money proclaiming it was for charity, but it was actually for his own selfish benefits.
Lol, take a wild guess who sent him that Doug Dimmadone record.
Me?
Me?
Doug Dimmadome's hat is longer than his own nickname.
Did you make him say “hood classic” too?
The Slacker Cats joke during the school’s out for summer bit got me lmao
I still quote the cyber space episode in dnd.
"I respect your privacy as evil goblins by knocking, but assert my authority as an adventurer by COMING IN ANYWAY" So then I cast ram.
I still channel the spirit of "internet" when my parents ask what I'm doing online with "uhhhh, various things?"
@@eatatjoes6751 Reminds me of my Late Grandfather wanting to know who was on a RUclips video I was watching. When I tried to explain it was nobody that he would know he then asked why I would watch it.
No line will be more quoted by me than “We’re two halves of a whole idiot”
@@chriswall4424 Ironically that's how I'd describe me and my boyfriend, along with the "I married the smart one, I married the-" line.
@gamefreak3072 your pfp and name feels like a creppy comment you see 8 years later after it was made
I genuinely love Cosmo's "smooth operator" voice and personality, him bouncing of Wanda and being supportive was great, we don't really have those character types anymore, it's all miserable crap or overemotional
Yeah, it would of been better if that stayed. Kids really need to be shown more different characters and relationships. It’s really lazy and sexist to have the nag wife and dumb husband.
Agreed! I loved their dynamic and personality in S0.
@@liviwaslost absolutely.
How come no one ever talks about the most obvious villains that totally deserved to fight Jimmy and Timmy? Evil Jimmy clone and Timmy's imaginary friend would have made for an epic pairing.
what if Evil Jimmy and the Nega-Timmy teamed up?
Nickelodeon should do a jimmy timmy power hour 4 with that kind of plot. I didn't even think about that. That would be way better than whatever the hell jimmy timmy power hour 3 tried to do.
@@tvgamerstan6180 Maybe an anniversary episode to bring the two shows back briefly
Damn NegaJimmy and Gary would’ve been a sick crossover for Jimmy Timmy power hour
@@tvgamerstan6180 I always thought a Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 4 could be about Jimmy getting help from Timmy to rescue Sheen from that one planet he landed on in Planet Sheen (and meeting Poof) but having Evil Jimmy and Gary as the man villains would be a much more awesome idea (but the Sheen rescue idea and Evil Jimmy + Gary pairing idea could work together.)
Fun fact: There was supposed to be a theatrical FOP film, which was eventually scrapped. For those who don’t know, here’s what it would’ve been about:
Timmy, who feels sorry for the way Vicky treats other children, wishes that every kid in Dimmsdale had fairy godparents. But this backfired as Vicky, being under 18, is still considered a kid and gets Jorgen as her godparent. However, with no one to protect everything in Fairy World, the Anti-Fairies and the Pixies join forces to take over the world.
Would've been a fitting finale to the whole show actually. Wish we got Invader Dib as well for the Zim finale.
That Jorgen aspect of the plot seems kinda contrived. Like, there are canonically thousands of Fairies in Fairy World, so how did Vicky get one of the most important fairies and not one of the many background fairies we saw over the years.
@@freakfoxvevo7915 It's also a comedy cartoon so that's probably part of the joke. But I also imagine Jorgen is the only one that could handle her
@@freakfoxvevo7915 Earth's got a huge population at billions, it does make sense.
@@freakfoxvevo7915 Earth's got a population of billions too so it makes sense. Also what other Fairy would be able to handle Vicky exactly?
Man, one of my favourite episodes was that Trixie episode where you get to see more layers of her and how being outside of social norms can get you villified.
Which it never gets brought up again and from then on shes just a one dimensional 'popular girl' character that just likes being pretty and rich.
And Veronica, they just smashed down the female characters, also Vicky became a gosh dang psycho
And yet she basically still bullies her friend Veronica, and this same episode no less, so its hard to get behind her.
Every time that “tell me I’m pretty” episode came up on TV I’d always roll my eyes and change the channel because I remembered the one where she was an actual human and it felt like they NEVER played that one.
@@princesscrystal6410 I always felt bad for Veronica
Yeah i wish they did something with Veronica too like have an episode where Timmy helps her with her homework and of course she puts on the " I'm just doing this for getting better grades not to be your friend " face and act
And at the end of the episode she learns that it's ok to hangout with not so popular kids like Timmy Turner
It’s shocking to realize how many big events happened in the first half of the show’s run (channel chasers, after school special, all 3 Jimmy Timmy crossovers), this video really puts everything into perspective!
I'm flabbergasted that the last two Chip Skylark episodes were so close together, my recollection would have placed them multiple seasons apart
The big movie and fairy idol as well and the special with the pixies
All butch Hartman had to do in order to go down as one of the most respected people in animation of all time was to be quiet and play it cool after fairly odd parents ended
Ah the JK Rowling effect
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 yeah
I don’t think his antics should take away from his accomplishments as an animator but he did tarnish some goodwill people had for him.
@@PeterGriffin11 I mean he's nowhere near the same level as Rowling or John K
@@PeterGriffin11 that’s why I used the phrase ‘most respected people in animation’. Yeah his work deserves respect but the man himself does not
"A secret talking robot."
That's a funny way of describing Jenny Wakeman.
In the pilot!
"Wakeman" is a funny last name for a female robot to have lol.
@@ExtremeWreck feminists when they’re wakeman and not wakewoman: 😡
@@ReduckYT_ LOL!
@@ExtremeWreck: I would say that it's a reference to the Sony Walkman, but how many in the target audience would understand the joke (pre Guardians of the Galaxy)?
19:40 fan theory:
I’m pretty sure since Timmy wished to be Catman’s official lawyer he has a law degree, and I like to think at the end of Channel Chasers, he probably got a career in law.
I misread Catman as " Cartman " so I was really wondering how South Park could fit into Fairly Oddparents!
@@BezddRedSame
I like to think he became a defense lawyer specifically.
Here’s the thing about all the characters getting ridiculously “ripped” …
When I did it in ‘Action Packed’ it hadn’t really been done on the show… (or not to that degree) Like so many things from that episode, it got a big laugh - so everyone decided they wanted a piece of that action and it got done over and over and over again.
If you track the series, prior to ‘Action Packed’ FoP was a fairly straightforward situation comedy.
But after that episode, it became an ‘Action Comedy’ - perpetually showcasing Crimson Chin, Crash Nebula, Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad, etc. etc. etc.
Obviously something about the formula “worked” so I’m not judging… but for my own tastes, I’m a believer in “less is more” sometimes.
Great video! Happy to discover this channel.
Zig-a-zig AH!
Like the reference humor.
When they started piling on more of it in the run at first I barely noticed it, but now it sticks out like a sore thumb almost 22 years later.
my guy, you need more subscribers
@@pyrofur_nx tell me about it!
@@fountainspencartoons Cool seeing you here! Subscribed to your channel. Just wanted to take this moment to say thanks for helping work on some cartoons I really loved as a kid :)
@@Noah-tn5bc That means the world to me. Thanks for saying that. Stay tuned to my channel... cool stuff coming!
There's an episode in the latter half where Timmy wished Mr. Turner would romantically love dogs to form a love triangle between him and Sparky.
They were so desperate to write any story related to Sparky that they had to resort to turning one of the main characters into a zoophile.
All I can say is: Good luck covering that and the rest of Season 9. You're gonna need it.
christian values my ass
@Tom the Bomb but does it say anything about making true love?
also season 9 is da bomb and the episode is funny awful implications aside
@@Spacething7474 I assume so? Partially since making folks fall in love with stuff is meant to be Cupid's shtick. There was Just the Two Of Us, and I remember Jorgan getting angry over Timmy and friends "wishing" that Carl fell in love with a turkey or something iirc
So I think making true love was originally part of Da Rules
Mr. Turner presents: Doggy Style 🥵
OH. MY. GOD. Please... please tell me you're joking. Season 5 is the last one I remember watching, so I'm really out of the loop.
Just recently starting watching the show again. A lot funnier than I remember. This retrospective came at just the right time
Honestly as a adult this show is much funnier because I get their jokes now
Yeah this show was so funny
Same here
A perfectly timed retrospective coinciding with this user's rewatch of the entire series? This must be the work of...
FAIRY GODPARENTS!
No matter how the show ended on the tragic note, Mr. Crocker screaming "FAIRLY ODDPARENTS" will always be memorable in our hearts.
tragic? aw i think the ending of fancy schmancy was quite nice!
@@Spacething7474 I think Channel Chasers is better.
@@poweroffriendship2.0 you and everyones grandma
honestly the amount of praise its getting kinda makes me wanna hate it
and i dont wanna hate it! its gots its moments!
@@Spacething7474 lol good one im definitely not one that likes channel as a finale but instead i like everything up to school of crock
@@flybuttero joke or serious?
eh either way school of crock is a great episode but season 9s got a lot better
Fun fact: in Latin America FoP aired its first four (and part of the fifth) seasons on Jetix, with the other part of season 5 onwards airing on Nick with much less publicity. Due to this & how often (and I mean very, VERY often) Jetix aired FoP, the general audiences here only watched the better seasons, and the Nick episodes are known as the boring ones
Grande Jetix
This also meant that when we got the Jimmy Timmy crossover, the voice actors for FoP had to be temporarily replaced due to both shows beign dubbed in different countries.
Although with the second and third specials the opposite happened.
Phoenix Douchebag, the truth is I liked the dubbing of the first part(Mexico) such as Liliana Barba(Timmy), the Mexico cast of FOP aren't so bad.
Cosmo's voice sounds better compared to he had from Poof ownard which sounds awful.
@@sunriserandom9976 I know, it's just sounds so weird to hear Timmy with a different voice. Also the Oh Yeah Cartoons shorts aired in Latin America and those didn't had the normal voice cast either.
49:39 Full disclosure for collectors: All the missing "Oh Yeah!" shorts can be found on the Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 2 and 3 DVDs.
Oh my gosh it's the funny veggietales man
Didn't know they made DVDs of those. :-)
Dude Trixie seriously could have been fleshed out more in the show
Exactly. I actually made a fan fiction and ideas for a potental spinoff while I was in high school. I made sketches too. I’m still very intrigued by the concept and the character. I even see plenty of art of tomboy trixie. Basically in my mind it was kind of like what would edventually happen with Luz and Amity from owl house as well as molly McGee and Libby and Andrea(who is starting to get more development)
@@noahbossier1131 also Veronica, she kinda disappeared post season 3 I think
She was actually a really interesting character but ended up mainly being written as a one note character
Nobody cares about Trixie
@@thebrideofghostface
They fucked it up with ‘Just the two of us’ fr.
Came back to this to say
R.I.P. Gilbert Gottfried.
An absolute legend.
Gone way too soon.
A legend fr
Can't believe it's been almost a year.
I didn't know he voiced someone in this show,nor did I know that the late great Adam West was involved in this show
@@carlycarmine3858He was the dentist lol
This video made me realize that outside of that one trixie episode. This show never understood Gender roles.
Well, that and Phillip the Nickel
most people are walking stereotypes irl
In fairness, with how we learned how Butch Hartman turned out rn, it makes some sort of sense...
@@alitavanpelt8961 Imagine having a Peanuts avatar and saying some ignorant shit like that
Weirdly he's pro-BLM, so his politics are a mess
As cruddy as most of the history jokes were, I still get a kick out of, "MUST CHOP WOOD!"
I know people usually skip the sponsor, but I gotta hand it to you. You kept me invested in it with the way you used the episode title cards...you had an opportunity and you executed it perfectly. Well played
Yup, the fairies and the parents having the same voice actors was definitely the perfect choice, especially symbolically. To play the real parents Timmy is stuck with versus the Godparents he wished his actual parents were like
“When’s the ride?”
“This IS the ride”
What a banger
YIPEEEEEEEEE
This show's old enough to drink now? Man how time flies
I like the Dragon Ball reference Channel Chasers because of the choice to go with og DB's art style. You might think since DBZ is the more popular series they'd go for a more angular and "realistic" art style, but no surprisingly, they went with the rounder, cutsey-ier art style from 80's Dragon Ball
I think it's because Dragon ball was still being dubbed so it was technically the New and Trendy series to Westerners
Good observation. Timmy is probably closer in age to kid goku so it fits
I can't begin to tell you how badly I wanted to try Cheese Pants... you'd assume they were just pants shaped cheese curls, but something about them made them stand out to me.
*Icky Vickey plays*
Doug Dimmadome: “What did you think that song was about anyways? Pumpkins?”
Timmy’s Dad: “Yes.”
a song made BY pumpkins would sound better than that dishwater excuse for music
@@Spacething7474 okay vickey
@@whiteroach3 dont know who vickey is, but the point still stands: icky vicky is as fun as tapwater.
@@Spacething7474 Whoops, didnt see the spelling mistake. My bad lol
@@whiteroach3 nononononono dont change it!!! its funny
Wonder who drew that title card tho? Thanks for having me Nick!
I love S1-S5, the movies, and specials but I think "It's a wishful life" made a mistake giving Cosmo & Wanda to Chester. He doesn't need fairies when he has a loving father unlike Timmy. Yes he's poor but it's been proven Chester is fine with the life he has and while he lives in a trailer park he's still the most selfless person on the show, joining the baseball team out of fear in order to put respect back on his family's last name. Even when he got Norm he tried doing things for others, and while it backfired he's heart was still in the right place and that should disqualify any kid from fairies. They should only go to those with bad or selfish intentions such as Timmy Turner, who constantly has to be reminded in every episode his actions have consequences.
Timmy isn’t a bad kid outside of seasons 4, 5, and 10. He can be snarky, but if his actions end up hurting anyone he’s pretty quick to set out to make things right.
Heck, he’ll do it even if it ISN’T his fault. He’s a good kid, he just has poor impulse control and a short attention span.
I don't like how you made fairies seem like some sort of punishment and morale lesson. They're given to miserable kids who have a shitty life and need the help/need truly loving parents/figures in their lives. They're not punishments, and making painting Timmy as just a selfish and bad kid is really disingenuous and wrong. You're victim blaming a kid who basically has everyone in his home-life hate him and no real loving figure, which is so fucking shitty to do.
@@tonyhakston536 I agree with this timmy just needs a little more guidance which is why I think he does get faires because he's genuinely good he just needs a little assistance lol
@@manicpepsicola3431 100% agreed, It really makes him an interesting character
@@tonyhakston536 true that's like calling me a bad kid.
Breakin Da Rules has a surprisingly dark tone at times like when Crocker is hunting you in school or when you’re in the stealth mission at camp. And heck even Tootie chasing you intimidated me. Models, animation and controls are definitely rough but the gameplay is fun and I enjoy it nonetheless.
“I WILL get outta here and when I do OHHH yes you’ll PAY. I swear by all that is..corn?”
A line that floats through my head periodically throughout my adult life.
Definitely the more positive side of the show. A lot of the episodes are easily ones that I can remember, and the overall style of humor blended well to not drift too far off from the main plot. It was nice getting to hear about these again, I’m looking forward to see your explanation of the later seasons.
I was actually hoping that you would mention the fact that Frankie Muniz voiced Chester. I never knew it back then, but realized it back then, but it just makes me love Malcolm and FOP even more.
I honestly had no idea
And now that I watch it more, Malcolm and Reese both were on it!!!!
Frankie Muniz was definitely the superior voice of Chester.
@@MaxBunny7902 Ilike both versions, but I must say that Jason Marsden was more superior because he has more experience as a VA. I hope they can have Frankie as Chester for the Live Action reboot.
@@dylanwisener4432 I also like both versions, but I just feel that Frankie Muniz is superior because I find it funnier and sometimes more adorable since he uses his natural voice (especially in Season 2's "The Boy Who Would Be Queen"). I respect your opinion with Jason Marsden though, but I'm not exactly counting on Chester even appearing in the live action reboot.
This show basically became an unironic version of the Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie show
It's eerie how they literally added a skateboarding dog
It's basically like rugrats but with fairies
@@luckylol How so?
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 in the later seasons of rugrats one of the character gets added like dill and kimi
FOP is like that adding new characters in the later seasons
@@luckylol Dill was basically a classic character though, it'd be like if Poof was added in season 2 or 3. Kimi is more equivalent but the show ran for three more years after she was introduced, whereas Sparky and Chloe popped at the very end of the show
"It's abandoned and empty, just like my childhood!" Sometimes I wonder if the script writers were subtly crying for help with jokes like these.
I enjoyed trixies voice actor going hard, shame that literally all of the side characters including her were brushed aside
I wonder if Nick will one day do a Jimmy Neutron Retrospective.
I would love that!
@@Brewart2012 Same here
31:15 The awful compression and loud, annoying sound effects combined with Cosmo just rambling aimlessly almost makes me think they leaned into it for a bit, which I'd be okay with because it's way funnier than what he was actually saying.
I hope when he gets to later seasons he addresses when characters got Thanos Snapped out of existence and why.
They got Alien X'd
They died of old age, considering they're at least 50 years old.
Well I know that Britney Britney was written out because her reference source was in her "scream and shout and let it all out" (translation: Former child star) phase and that Trixie was written out because Dianne Quonn retired. Everyone else is a mystery to me
Ok undertale pfp
@@bullmonty764 Britney Britney is basically Britney Spears in the Fairly Oddparents universe.
I know I've already commented once, but I really want to emphasize what great work you do after rewatching this video for the third time.
So many other cartoon reviewers kind of fall into the grown man yells at children's cartoon shtick or regurgitate the same information that has seemingly been around forever.
But your work is consistently, really well researched, informative, entertaining and and just feels fresh.
The perspective you bring to the conversation is so engaging and again, overall super entertaining and rewatchable. You put out amazing work and I'm always thrilled to see what you put out next!
Wow, I don’t even think I’ve watched it in full three times so kudos to you and thank you for the kind words!
@@NICKtendoReviews Yeah, adding on to RadSam's comment. You're one of my favorite RUclipsrs and one of my influences for starting my own channel.
The Fairly Oddparents is probably the most cynical cartoon Nickelodeon ever produced, which is really saying something considering they also had Invader Zim.
I mean it's fitting I always considered Invader Zim and Fairly Odd Parents to be sibling shows
I am not used to hearing Nick actually sound *annoyed*. I kinda love it.
That's the best gag.
Barely even noticed it.
Quinton reviews looking at the retrospective only being an hour long:
“Pathetic”
Joking. It’s really cool
Quinton Reviews: WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE SPENT THE WHOLE VIDEO TALKING ABOUT THE TOPIC AT HAND AND NOT PADDING IT OUT WITH NEEDLESS FILLER TALKING ABOUT OTHER SHOWS AND POINTLESS INTERMISSIONS THAT ONLY DRAG OUT THE VIDEO?!
Don't you mean:
"PATHETIC!!" with emphasis on the whole word :)
@@peateargryfin844 you've got a point there.
@@peateargryfin844 I mean, it’s not pointless, there is always a point to them. It’s not needless, but also, he has chapters to skip them if you want, so you can’t get mad at him. It’s not like he makes the long videos because it benefits him more.
"Uh, here's the thing... I fekcing hate trump..."
Hoo boy, it's the start of a Fairly Odd Retrospective starting here with the golden years of Butch's longest-running show! The seasons I liked! Before the unnecessary main character additions started piling up and forgot Da Rules of its own continuity.
New writers and stuff, but its weird because butch never left the show so is it butch,s fault
@@Elvusmiw He probably just said "Write what you want" while laying in a hammock.
I know some of the crew tried to keep the show from butch during the early years
Poof was alright to me, but everyone else felt so unnecessary.
I loved Poof, but then Poof just... Disappeared, so
you did such a good job with this Nick. going deep into Butch Hartman cartoons can be a nightmare but the journey you took for this really paid off and i can feel your interest / passion for it throughout the video. FOP had basically become a joke in my mind until we watched this and i remembered all the things i loved about its early seasons. BRAVO!
“MIKE, THE EVIL LIVING BUILDING!” will never not make me laugh out loud
No matter what… we can all agree… Mr. Crocker and Timmy’s dad were the best characters.
my true OTP
Well, it does make him look pretty.
@@Spacething7474 we can't be the only ones who saw that one episode where Timmy's dad thought Crocker was trying to get with his wife. Come on, guys. We all heard what he said about him.
@@MrMarxy that was just jealousy cause he wanted crocker to get on with *him*
ALSO! their interactions in Weirdos on a Train further prove this

im obsessed with cat wanda 28:32 the most creature of all time

Can't wait for you next video where you talk about how Dinkleburg is the true secret antagonist all along.
Dinkleburg is the one who ruined the show thus being the real villain
Best villian worst villian at the same time
@@Numbuh8578 He doesn't even do shit in the series
@@thegoldendiamond6762 In the episode "Operation Dinkleberg", it was revealed he *pretended* to be a villain just to make Mr. Turner contempt
Tootie actually made her debut in one of the Oh Yeah shorts, The Fairy Flu.
I remember as a kid in one of the few Nick magazines I used to own, it came with a fake brochure for Camp Learn-a-Torium. It was really goofy and entertaining seeing all the detail put into it.
"All I'm saying is, if we don't get to watch basketball, the terrorists have won."
"Dude, you think EVERYTHING means the terrorists have won."
Reminding me here of why I never did like Remmy. I understand his parents weren't around much to the point of not even remembering his name, but he's hardly made sympathetic by that when he tries to get another kid to lose his just because he's jealous, and never even once considering he may lose and what it would mean for him to show that he didn't appreciate what little he even had. Even when Timmy tried to help him out and the magic ultimately working for a short time, that was way more than he deserved, acting as if this was Timmy's fault and not his for starting the fight in the first place. Then he got Jaundissimo back and became even more superfluous to things.
Even though I haven't watched Fairly Odd consistently since they took it off the air (in Canada), I was able to quote just about every single joke word-for-word that you used. Watched it practically every single day and there's no way it's going away now. While SpongeBob was my number 1 favourite in the 2000s, Fairly Odd got bonus points for me for the continuity, references, things SpongeBob didn't do. I don't think we ever got the Oh Yeah Cartoon show/segments, so that "9 Ball" joke was completely lost on me when I first saw Abra Catastrophe, alongside all the other callbacks.
I still stand by saying the first 5 seasons are great fun, despite what the internet tries to tell me. For a decade (2003-13), YTV also had a Victoria Day tradition called Sponge-Odd SquareParents Day, where they showed back-to-back FOP/SB, with new episodes at the end of the day (usually for the Spongeman). That was always fun!
oh god im so happy people still remember sponge-odd squareparents day!! Truly a real Canadian tradition
Ohh Sponge-Odd Squarepants Day! I remember that! I loved watching The Fairly Odd Parents and Spongebob episodes back to back. YTV was awesome
Actually the original Catman is public domain and that's why they could just straight up use his entire appearance for a Batman parody. He's one of those heroes whose rights lapsed during the copyright law shuffling of the 20th century. There's actually hundreds of public domain heroes from the golden age of comics.
As much as I dislike Butch Hartman, his Twitter post of a picture of Tobias Funke from Arrested Development with the caption "Happy Sunday!" Is pure, absolute comedy, and I'm mad I didn't think of it first.
is there any show-related meaning behind it or did elmer just like that picture?
@@Spacething7474 His real name is Elmer? Is boil kid modeled after himself?
@@Spacething7474 probably just wanted to be ‘funny’ which is was.
As a young artist in 2008, I hella struggled with the Fairly Oddparents artstyle. For some reason, it was very hard to replicate for me. I think now I'll be able to do it no problem.
I'm always surprised how much people like Dad. To me, Dad is just another Cosmo. He has a few very funny moments but a lot of it just feels like a "wow how wacky/stupid!" character.
The best part of the Jimmy Timmy Powerhours were easily the secondary casts interacting with the mains of the other shows. Sheen getting the ability to be granted magic was at the same time the worst and best thing that could've happened
Funny thing, here in latin america the show was called "Los padrinos magicos". Name that is a direct translation of "Fairy Godparents"
Wasn’t expecting a surprise appearance by Escargoon in this FOP retrospective, but it’s nice
11:30 this is a real garfeldi moment
In a way, Channel Chasers was an improved version of Abra Catastrophe. Villain gains magical item and becomes super powerful and Timmy must defeat them by using Da Rules to get his fairy godparents taken away.
I feel like it was a slow build-up.
They took elements from the book traveling episode too
My mother actually liked the nagging humor. I guess my mother had a self-depreciating sense of humor.
Every time Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdlae Dimmadome, appears on screen his hat gets larger
Doraemon + Cinderella + Boy Meets World + Looney Tunes = The Fairy Oddparents
that's a good way to describe the show.
that is pretty accurate.
If anything I Dream of Genie and Bewitched were some of the main inspirations
How Cinderella
@@princesscrystal6410 Cinderella and Timmy both have a horrible home life and Fairy Godparents. Seems a pretty concrete inspiration to me.
You know what? Sure. This WAS the way I wanted to find out Norm Macdonald died.
Norm the genie is my first experience with norm McDonald as a kid
I didn't even realize Norm was the Genie into he died
@@nickrustyson8124 I heard his voice somewhere else years after I watched the first episode with him in it and figured it out then
Now I'm off to Canada! They've had it too good for too long...
Surprising that there's no mention of Timmy's other other other friend, the kid with the talking world dominating boil.
Elmer?
I remember watching the show and enjoying it. Kinda dropped off the show long after I stopped watching Nicktoons (Which I ironically watched more than regular Nick)
I find it kind of interesting that Nelvanna has the distribution rights to the show’s first few seasons internationally meaning that the show aired on Jetix/Disney XD in other territories.
I remember watching nicktoons more the main nick channel.
Imagine if Fairly Oddparents was on Disney+ in other countries lmao
I associate FoP witv Jetix far more than Nick, doesn't help thag the show's golden age aired there while Nick got the rest.
@@IcyDiamond Well I think the Jimmy Neutron movie is available on Disney + in some countries.
@@connorbeith3232 Huh interesting
I have no idea why but the first ten seconds of this video made me audibly laugh. I don't think I expected the "how did we get here?" to resonate so much but when you look at how the show turned out the statement is the only thought you can walk away with
Oh my God, I was OBSESSED with Fairy Idol when it came out! Norm was my favorite recurring character at the time and the fact that he got a song(and co-reprise) was mind-blowing. My friends even got me the DVD as a going away present when we moved to a new state. My opinion of FOP and Butch may have soured over time, but the memories of enjoying it in its prime will outlive that for a long while to come.
To me it's always a shame that the programming outside of shows is never really archived, because to me the quirky transitions and announcements for upcoming episodes and shows are incredibly nostalgic.
This was a journey, and I loved it. I’m happy someone else is going on the same trek as me, because The Fairly OddParents is a very big commitment to watch the whole way through. There’s a place in my heart too for the classic seasons, despite all the yelling, cynicism and dated humour that slowly trickled in. (Like frankly, some of the stereotype humour wouldn’t have even been okay for the 1960s.) I think what keeps this part of the run an investing watch is that it did start off with heart, fun characters and limitless potential. So when it did get repetitive and flanderised around Seasons 4 and 5, it wasn’t a dealbreaker because the groundwork was so strong.
Your insight into specific trends and callbacks was pretty cool to see. I’d actually forgotten how tight the continuity was on this show. And while there was already a downward trajectory by the end of this run, I can’t wait to see how the last 5 seasons go for you. Maybe you’ll like some episodes I never cared much for, there’s still tons of interesting stories despite how bad it got. Besides, I know you’d never be completely disappointed with a show touched by Scott Fellows.
🙄
The show truly started to go downhill shortly after Season 7 began until it drowned in Seasons 9 and 10. Season 6’s quality is the same as Seasons 4 or 5, either or. Long story short.
But Scott Fellows has been involved with the Fairly Odd Parents since season 3. He only became the head writer and story editor for season 6 due to Steve Marmel's head departure from Nickelodeon in 2006. Scott Fellows stepped away from writing the show after the Wishology trillogy. In Season 7 to 10 Ray Delaurentis was hired to work on this show and he became the head writer/story editor.
@@luckylol I just wish more and more people would realize that Season 6 was truly the last good season of the show for multiple reasons but it often goes in one ear and out the other.
@@manofwisdom000 I agree! Season 6 wasn't even a bad season. It undid it's flanderization from season 5 and it had a couple of good episodes. Chindred sprits, Fairly oddlympics, Wishmas, for emergencies only and few others. Theres few medicore/bad ones like Vicky gets fired and birthday bashed. The 7th season is where it starts to have problems especially in seasons 9 and 10 with it's continuity errors, flanderized characters which includes Crocker, Mr. Turner and Foop (Occasionally) which most people seem to forget because all i see mostly is people commenting how the new characters (Poof, Sparky and Chloe) made the show go downhill without real explaination.
@@luckylol Exactly plus the show’s problems in many episodes after Wishology had nothing to do with Poof anyway. And yeah, Sparky and Chloe were just speeding the show’s downward spiral up a bit, but on top of Sparky and Chloe were all the other problems as you described thankfully.
39:43 "Model sheet looking ass." - NICKtendo, 2022
channel chasers was my favorite thing as a kid. I haven’t watched it in years but I know it holds up, it was so perfect.
This video made me realize that most people I hear mention Fairly Odd Parents pronounce the title incorrectly as “fairy odd parents”. Myself included
It still saddens me how Fairly OddParents fell so hard from grace.
Oh god, me too.
It wasn't my favorite Nick show - that honor ironically went to Spongebob first and now it's Jimmy Neutron/Invader Zim - but I watched it a lot with my Dad.
this is why people had to teach you lessons, old man jenkins
I'm so used to Cosmo's later voice that lower pitched Cosmo sounds weeeeird
I was today years old when i found out that the buff fairy is a parody of Arnold Schwarzenegger and not, like the name in my country’s dub suggests, Jean Claude van damme…
Guy Moon's a damn genius.

On the art style, a lot of people in the Danny Phantom fandom (Phandom if you will) attribute Steve as making things more expressive and stylised than Butch. Especially in storyboards Steve worked on. Idk how much Steve worked on FOP, but his leaving is often cited as the decline in show quality in DP S3
as someone that loved FOP as a kid and still loves it now, i'm happy you've made this video. your passion for cartoons is so evident and makes your videos super entertaining to watch!
thanks for all the work you do!
I think the hypnomilk was a source of many nightmares from my childhood...
Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome: I named the Dimmadome after myself
Alexander the Great: *Impressive, most impressive*
I think a solution to get Westerners to stop making fun of my hairstyle would be to wear a hat as tall as his...maybe then they'd respect me
"model sheet lookin-ass" got me lmfao
I have two theories about Timmy's parents' names I go back and forth on:
- They're named Terry and Teri, keeping the alliteration and fitting with the timing of Sherlock Holmes saying "Your names are..." and getting cut off by the slamming of a book with just enough time for one or two syllables before they confirm he was correct
- They're literally named Dad and Mom, or slightly longer names that easily shorten to this. I believe this is also the case of the parents in Cow & Chicken, and feels more in line with the show's humor overall.
It's funny you're posting this cuz I just rewatched the Oh Yeah Cartoons shorts, partly cuz of Mr Enter's Top 10 OYC shorts. They ALL still hold up well!!! Wish I could say the same about half of the series. I actually agree with Alpha Jay that Meet The Odd Parents should've been the final episode. It was perfect: came out a few months after the show's 10th anniversary, has a concept that was never fully explored before and it even ends with a book being closed! It may not have been as perfect of a "just in case" finale as Channel Chasers but at least it felt like a finale, especially compared to the one we got!
Edit: commenting as I'm going along, I actually always shipped Timmy with Veronica more than either Tootie or Trixie. Still wish they wrote her character more positively, eventually becoming a part of his friend group and endgame love interest. At least Braceface and As Told By Ginger did something similar to this.
Edit Poof!: You didn't mention that Method Man and Redman voiced HP and Sanderson in the School's Out AND Fairy Idol songs!
I’m curious. How would you write Veronica more positively/ integrate her into the friend group? I’ve never seen either show you brought up as examples.
I’m working on my own interpretation where this sort of happens.
I think about it alot, but my GOD the jimmy and Timmy power hour was such a fever dream
Oh gosh, I completely forgot about the muscles. I know people have said weird stuff appearing in children's media (Totally Spies) were seedlings of a fetish they'd have later in life, but that was like an anti-seed to me. Grossed out by them all as a kid, grossed out by over-the-top muscles now.
I’m just going to say it: Fairly odd parents is the Sonic the hedgehog of Nickelodeon cartoons.
I’ve never seen a fanbase for this show LOL
true
This makes perfect sense even though I don't think I could explain why
You mean it ages about as well as one of those *TOTALLY RAD* cartoons and it is solely because of its charm that we talk about it?
Yeah, I see it.
I guess that means SpongeBob is Mario and Jimmy Neutron is Ratchet and Clank.
Its kinda weird how so many interesting chacters and lore stuff the show just kinda forgets later on. I feel like if the show didn't forgot these things it would have lasted at least a couple more seasons without the we run out of idea feel
I'm just gonna say it, cause I didn't see any mention of it in the first batch of commemts. The editing is really fire in this video, the little-AMV openers to the seasons, specials, and Breakin the Rules are especially addicting to watch.
The reason Nick didn't get sued over Catman is because Catman is a public domain character, alongside Captain Marvel (now called Shazam) and the original Blue Beetle.
"Cosmo and Wanda, I wish that NickTendo's longest and best video yet was all about our show!"
My parents literally hated this show so much, that we were only allowed to watch a single episode a day. It was definitely because of the screaming.
My parents hated SpongeBob, because so many of the "jokes" revolve around characters making loud annoying noises or saying really dumb stuff. Since then I think I've grown up to be one of the only people in the world who DOESN'T like SpongeBob. Always liked fairly odd parents though
@@nathand3468yes your the only person in the world, unless if you only like seasons 1-3 that’s good
This retrospective is just as entertaining as the show. I remember watching this program in college for its humor and visuals. Tara Strong and Daran Norris were hilarious.
As someone who's named Victoria, Icky Vicky made my life significantly harder.
That sucks. I've always loved that name, it's an awesome name. Well, at least your name isn't Karen. Poor Karens.
10:43 has such an iconic piece, and yet I still to this day don't know the name of it
