Thanks to everyone who patiently waited for Part 2 during these past 4.5 months!
This project went from being two videos to three videos as I planned this one out, so I apologize to anyone who expected me to cover the final seasons and the live action stuff here. I realized that I would not be doing these seasons justice if I tried to cram everything else into one video and I don't have the time and energy to plan and execute a two or three hour long project this summer. I hope you stay tuned for Part 3, "The Final Ending" of this miniseries, unless they announce Fairly Odder Season 2 out of nowhere. IT COULD STILL HAPPEN!!!
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this video! I tried to offer more of my personal experience with the series while diving deeper into its most notable episodes. I can't give enough thanks to all the editors, artists, and animators that helped me bring this monster of a video together. I can guarantee that there will be some smaller videos before I find out what the dog doin', but I already know what the next big series on this channel will be... #knowingsmile
E
I hardly watched The Fairly OddParents.
#knowingsmile , huh? Your next series wouldn’t happen to be about the antics of a blue hedgehog, would it?
@@carlclo2988 you mean Sonic?
@NickTENDO, It's all good. Hard work pays off. Besides, I believe the longer you're working on something, the best you want it be. 👍
I can't believe Chester's last spoken dialogue was him being down bad.
He was down he died
Chester going out like a champ is the reason he’s the best character
Such a Chad move
Yknow what...good for him
@@battery_acid_consumer they don’t call him Chester McChadBat for nothing
I love how this retrospective series also covers other media that comes out rather than just the show. More retrospectives need to do this
Right? The part about Shadow Showdown was so good
Trixe's last appearance of plot relevance was her being impersonated by Crocker, and Chesters was him going for a girl with AJ, I'd say Timmy's friends really had a compelling arc in this series.
Plus AJ's last line has him being called a dweeb by Timmy's smartphone, Sanjay's last line is him having a crush on Timmy's dad, Tootie's final animated line was her beating up Timmy to give him CPR, and Elmer's was having his boil use a phone.
@@aertnadle2466 crushing on Timmy's dad? What did I miss?
@@hassanalkhalaf1115 In his last speaking role in The Old Man and the C-, Sanjay replaces a photo of Timmy in his wallet of one with Timmy's dad and given his implied Timmy crush, it implies Sanjay was crushing on Timmy's dad.
And chester's is about S E X
The Tooth Fairy's last line is, "I hope we're safe," or whatever and I am just crushed that the minor characters used to flesh out the world and now were just backdrop filler.
Chloe maybe could have worked if she was a character with her own fairy(s). Then just have her show up as just an occational ally.
Or if she were.. actually miserable?
@@GumSkyloard Ehh sharing cosmo and wanda I feel wasin't a good idea at all. Maybe make her miserable and have her only be "perfect" because of her own fairy(s).
Nah, I actually really liked Chloe and the friendship she and Timmy have.
@@TheDragonman104 I think she had potential but with how bad the writing quality got I doubt it was reached.
@@GumSkyloard That's exactly what I thought it would've even if Ricky was her babysitter
Hilariously "poof" is a homophobic slur in the UK and I remember being like "wait what!?" when I discovered the FOP's baby's names.
But isn't Poof just a magical term
Probably something simulated to like calling someone a fairy
I think I heard something about that from a Tyler, The Creator song
Given Butch’s beliefs, that could’ve been intentional (/j).
Reminds me of a bit from Arrested Development.
“Hey Micheal, did you see the new Poof?”
“His name is Gary, and we do NOT need another lawsuit.”
“What? No, I meant the new issue of Poof magazine, the magazine for magicians!”
If I had a nickel for every time kiss was represented as deities in a kids show movie, I'd have 2 nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
what was the other time exactly?
@@jaded151 I'm assuming it was the Scooby Doo Kiss movie
Lol
F**k someone beat me to it! 😂😭
@@Jub-Blub the Loud House had Smooch lol, same thing. But yeah my mom was big into Kiss when she was younger. They’re the one rock band that no one has ever said they hated
I honestly didn’t mind Poof all that much. Sure, he didn’t really do anything for most of the time he was on screen, but he didn’t really do much to ruin the show either. He was also pretty tolerable, which I cannot say for the other two new characters introduced to keep the show relevant.
Foop also wasn’t bad, but I will forever hold a grudge against him for overshadowing and basically deleting the rest of the anti-fairies.
Omg I thought I was the only person that noticed poof just floated in space and did nothing
As Man of Wisdom said, Poof is no longer to blame for all the flaws that popped up since Season 7 of the show.
The worst thing about Anti-Poof is that when I went back to watch the show I was surprised there were more anti-fairies aside from Foop, Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda.
Foop is basically Stewie but his evilness is more kid friendly.
That's actually a really good way of putting it
It’s just Family Guy for Kids
Honestly, while Wishology wouldn't be a perfect finale, the idea that Juandissimo, who has been after Wanda for the entire show, finally got over her... *and started dating Cupid* would have been a funny note to end the show on, even if they wouldn't explicitly say it.
(Also, that one picture of him is fanart, lol)
I love Poof honestly. He doesn't really actually effect anything, people just overanalyze his presence. He's clearly not as good as Cosmo and Wanda but he doesn't suck. He's like if Minimoose was a baby fairy
@Gooey he's just a little guy!
Almost nobody says anything about the constant Crocker and Timmy’s Dad spamming, among other issues that started plaguing the show in Season 7 onward.
Poof Is my homeboy for life
Poof is just there he doesn't do much he didn't do enough for me to hate him or love him.
@@PeterGriffin11 People are just extremely sensitive. You can still have the show’s original charm while keeping Poof and Foop. Season 6 at least did its best and sometimes Seasons 7 and 8. Whereas Seasons 9 and 10 didn’t do any justice.
"What can possibly go wrong" - Something Timmy Turner said that sums up the show's future beautifully
Seasons 7-10.
At least he didn't say that like many times.
As another character.
@@kootunesscrewy *groans* Bubsy Bobcat
@@pennysanchez7656 Then again, I like the pilot.
And the Sega/SNES game was cool.
@@kootunesscrewy The first 3 games were good, but Bubsy 3D can burn in hell.
I had to say, Shadow Showdown got a strange amount of effort for being a licensed kids game? They tried to emulate the show's style to the point of creating a system where the texture flips around on the character's faces to "stay on model". That mansion level got some cool ideas, such as the whole level flipping outside down and being explorable that way.
Ultimately, it's still a 6 out of 10 experience but I appreciate that they do seem to care about working on these games. It's something that I miss from the early 2000s era
I hope SpongeBob Cosmic Shake will at least revive the formula a little bit
@@BinglesP We have the Sam and Max's remasters coming out
Saw your awesome art on Twitter and didn't expect to see you here XD
Yeah, as flawed as Foop is as a character, I can definitely see why Disney gave Eric Bauza the dubious honor of voicing *every* Beagle Boy in the Ducktales reboot
His debut was fine, but his appearances after that were meh.
Also he's also now the voice of Bugs freaking Bunny (and frankly the best one post-Blanc IMO).
@@toon4thought True, but Bugs' Looney Tunes Show actor was pretty good as well.
@@toon4thought One of the voices. They basically rotate between Bauza and Bergman for projects, or split the various roles like Bergman getting Bugs in Space Jam 2 while Bauza got Daffy.
You should hear him as Master Frown.
To me, Wishology will ALWAYS be the true ending for the series. It was the perfect way and the perfect time to say goodbye.
I honestly forgot that episode was apart of Fairly OddParents lol. But from what I remember it was some kind of season finale simply just like Channel Chasers.
I agree. Ever since season 7 began it started going downhill
Agreed, though there are still hidden gems in Season 7. I also still liked Meet the OddParents from Season 8.
@@YakkoWarnerTower Channel Chasers wasn’t even the finale episode, neither in airing order nor production order anyway. Dunno why ppl like you keep on saying that. Exactly why I prefer Wishology more. At least that episode isn’t overrated like Channel Chasers is.
I would have just preferred some small rewrites within Wishology to better show character interactions, and honestly a better ending too. Maybe an acknowledgement that humans and fairies can work together constructively and the worlds slowly getting to know each other. Timmy grows up and becomes a responsible ambassador or something. I love it when endings to shows imply drastic changes to come as it really cements an ending to the status quo.
We obviously won't ever get that kind of a recut of Wishology and I appreciate what we got anyways, it's just incredibly fun to ruminate on.
Many shows decline because the people who created them leave, SpongeBob lost much of its quality when Stephen Hillenburg left, but when they hired him again in Season 9, the show improved a lot and became good again.
Fairly OddParents declined with Butch Hartman working on all seasons, leading to accusations that he was never the reason the show was good, and giving him more freedom is what made it decline.
Don’t forget Danny Phantom with its third season, when Steve Marmel and most of the other original writers either left the show or were fired by Nickelodeon. In the first two seasons, Butch Hartman wasn’t much involved with the show until Season 3.
@@manofwisdom000 Oh yeah, that one! Although I never watched the entirety of Danny Phantom, that season of the show was when Hartman’s writing talent started to take a nosedive in quality, with the exception of Season 6 of Fairly OddParents and even the entirety of TUFF Puppy. Though to be honest, Steve Marmel planned to take Danny Phantom to a much bolder and darker direction in its third season onward, and when we heard of that rumor, we were pissed off at the final product of Season 3 of that show. If Danny Phantom would ever come back for either a continuation or a revival, I think rehiring Steve Marmel to do his own version of Danny Phantom without Butch Hartman being on his side would be Nick’s best bet.
@@renejustinnillo3087 I actually liked Tuff Puppy
@@Crackedcripple I think no one actively dislikes tuff puppy, people either liked it or didn't care.
@@renejustinnillo3087 You can tell when the original writers leave a show and are replaced by the quality and continuity of the program. Like Spongebob for example, in the earlier seasons, Patrick and SpongeBob may have been idiotic, but they were very close friends and any argument they have is for comedic purposes. They weren't the brightest, but their actions of stupidity were usually harmless or they tried to correct it. But in later seasons, after Hillenburg left, Patrick became much more toxic and too idiotic for his own safety. He deliberately ruins the people around him. At least in the earlier seasons, he would have some good ideas and have points of morals, but that is all lost later on.
Or, if we are still talking about Danny Phantom, they pretty much made the ghost zone a red herring. In earlier seasons, they make it apparent that these ghosts were once people who actually died. I mean they don't say it out right, cause it's a kid's show, but they do imply it. That cheese ghost when we meet Vlad in that one episode, Spike the puppy, Amber the ghost singer, yeah, at one point they were all alive and their spirits couldn't rest. I thought it was pretty interesting that death exists in this universe. But then, season three and four come in and they decided to do a parody of Men in Black. Where you have these suited guys from a government come in and they state that the ghost zone is a different dimension and the ghosts are extra terrestrials? Like... what?! This whole time you lead us to believe these ghosts were once people that lived on earth, now you're spit-balling the concept that they are just aliens?! They don't even hint at this or out right explain it, it just... happens.
It isn't just the men in black parody that made me lose interest in the show. They were giving Danny all of these upgraded powers like ghost yelling, freezer lasers, which I am not against, I like they were upgrading him. But, they come out of nowhere and it feels odd that Danny gets these upgrades but not the other enemies which makes the battles more one sided. And the fact that they miss out on deals to make good special content for the show. Like in Season three, 'Urban Jungle'. It was so badass with this cool ghost villain, a dark premise, and helped Danny unlock a new power. The problem is, that 'special', was just another 24 minute episode when it could have been an hour long special or even a movie. Everything happened so fast, it felt sloppy and poorly written, which is ashamed because it had a lot of potential to be a good specials, but it's just another episode in the series.
In my personal opinion, I don't think a show will last very long once the original creators of that content leave or are fired. At that point, you are better off just to cancel that show. I would rather have a show be cancelled while still being memorably good, than have it run it's course, but still keep at it only to give us garbage compared to the comedy gold we had before.
It's a real shame that the show has forgotten all those characters like Trixie Timmy's friends Chester and AJ the anti fairies and pixies and many more
More like ignored is the right word, but yeah.
Please use commas.
@@ivythay4259 no
fr like why did foop keep appearing alone where are his parents
plus gary shouldve gotten another episode after chloe was introduced imo
I have a really big soft spot for Timmy's Secret Wish bc I watched the premiere. My jaw legit dropped irl when I heard the twist. Like, holy crap, this kid pulled the ultimate power move! I haven't watched it since I was a kid and don't remember much after Chester's last line, so most of my enjoyment now is probably just nostalgia. It's still a fun memory.
Personally I found the twist to be lazy for one reason: I thought about the "wish that nobody ages" idea when I was like 8 years old
WOOOOOO! Finally! I think it’s safe to say that Fairly OddParents had one of the saddest downfalls of all time
well consider your safeness revoked cause i think the opposite!!
I honestly believe that in about 20 years, the collapse of the FOP legacy will legitimately be pop culture legend
Fairly Odder isn't just bad, but disrespectful to the people who watched the show!
@@nathanseper8738 i watch both shows and i didnt feel disrespected
@@Spacething7474 I disagree!
I feel like Fairy Odd Parent's biggest mistake is not becoming more serialized
Like Timmy could have slowly developed and became a better person throughout the series and Vicky could have had a redemption arc
Also does this video imply that Nicktendo and Toonrafic are set in the same universe?
I thought the same thing too. Since Season 7, all the writers did was revert back to Status Quo and overused the same premise every episode.
@@manofwisdom000 I thought of a idea. What if the wish where Timmy wished to be a adult added to Timmy's motivation about not wanting to grow up in channel chasers?
@Man of Wisdom I always though Fairly odr parents was serialized as a kid I didn't realize it wasn't until I was older
Anti-Cosmo and Head Pixie had so much sexual tension tbh
Exactly!!
🤨
@@PASTELXENON its true!
Either you are so young, or I am so old 😭 the "uhh... Internet?" joke has been said in my household pretty regularly since the episode first aired in the early 2000's! My first memory of Fairly Odd Parents WAS seeing the pilot!
Mine too.
Same!!!
Same here. I felt like an absolute fossil and had to pause the video. My brain simply refused to register the passage of time, lol.
@@chenpoid I'm used to that reaction on vocal synth videos 🤣! Didn't expect to see it here 😝
The spinning matrix joke actually made me laugh out loud 🤣
My sister and I always quoted that back in the day lol bc Timmy just has a funny voice
I remembered when Meet The Oddparents first aired and I actually thought it was the series finale too bad it wasn't cause it really felt like a conclusion to Timmy's story.
Me too
Meet the OddParents was the show’s last chance at delivering a good series finale before the final nail in the coffin that was Seasons 9 and 10.
When Scott Fellows became more involved on FOP and injected some Johnny Test influence into it, you be surprised (and thankful) he didn't include the infamous "Whipcrack."
I actually thought he did lol, he definitely did way more Mickey Mousing and unnecessarily choreographed to-the-T sound effects though
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69at least johnny test is better than goddamn bossy bear ☠️
@@tylern6420 Bossy Bear looks like it's for little kids?
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 if they dare show it outside of the kiddy zone, i will have problems
@@tylern6420 Dude calm down. You remind me of that dude that was obsessed with hating Barney.
You know they really should've added a rule against wishing for pregnancy. Just feel like it should not be allowed
I like that there's only a 17 second difference between this and the first part.
nick better make the next video be 17 secs longer for consistency
So, 1 hour, 10 minutes, and 15 seconds?
12:49 You have to admit though, that the writers made Mr. Crocker have "cheese" as a superpower and made it not seem worthless.
It’s kinda like how Timmy’s dad was *NOG MAN* for a episode and Timmy’s dad tried to do stuff to help while drinking nog…
On second thought nog man was kinda dumb.
Doug Dimmadone should have worked with the pixies in an episode or that in an episode the Mayor's stay in power was down to him doing a deal with the pixies that would have been sweet
i vividly remember watching a re-run of fairly odd baby when i was around 7 or 8, and my mom came in during the scene where cosmo is yelling at timmy to wish poof out of him, and i had to explain to her what i was watching at what was going on
Personally, I thought FOP was fine with just Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda. They didn’t need to add anymore main characters. What they should have done was expand upon the supporting cast (i.e. Chester, A.J., Tootie, Veronica).
There's actually a NSFW comic called Camp Sherwood which is primarily a sequel to The Boy Who Would Be Queen but is also a crossover of almost every 2000s cartoon you can think of. If you can make it through the smutty stuff, not only does it explore Veronica in ways the show should've, but as it goes on, there's a horror inspired concept that creates its own lore. While the author Mister D has these out of nowhere long hiatuses between issues, I would highly recommend it.
There's a comment I made in the first part of the retrospective about how I would've loved it if Veronica stood up to Trixie, left the "friend" group and grew closer to Timmy, becoming his endgame love interest instead of Tootie. But that's just wish fulfillment.
There wasn’t anything wrong with Poof. You can still keep Poof and also Foop while maintaining the show’s original charm.
@@AJ-xc4qe sad how a porn comic did a better job exploring a character then "professional writers."
@@Numbuh8578 yeah, there's lots r34 comics for various shows/games that somehow write characters better than the official material , don't ask how I know
At least getting rid of Francis was a good idea.
Glad to see ToonrificTariq's vocal debut on the Nicktendo channel
4:23, I always saw the implication as being that the parents misremembered Timmy's birthday completely as being the next day, reinforcing that they kinda suck
What a great video, I grew up with FOP as a tiny child in 2003-06, but much of my memories were being a pre-adolescent when those comeback seasons with Poof, Wishology, and the secret wish were released. Not to say that the early seasons were bad, they're actually really strong. But I have nostalgia for those late springs, early summers eating cinnabon cereal, pizza rolls, and barbeque chicken. Watching those premiere episodes inbetween rewatching the 10 Rebel Taxi99 videos that existed, arguing on 4chan's /co/ board about Sonic comics, and scrolling through early tumblr way before the cultural shift of 2016. Like Cosmo would say "good times, good times"
This retrospective was really fun, I loved the lets play segment you did with your buddy. I've never seen a reviewer shift into a lets play on a non video game retrospect vid. This is why I love your stuff, its versatile in style.
i very vaguely remember watching wishology live, but i guess over time my brain just kinda forgot that i did. it is definitely the special ever
It had a plot, it had characters, it had animation, and it had jokes.
I remember I only looked forward to the specials because they would create a new flash game for each on Nick's website lol
Idk why I remember it so clearly, but I remember watching it just like it was yesterday even though I was pretty young, it’s funny what your brain makes you remember.
Okay I love Sanjay now!!!
Also I kinda get really depressed when I think about FOP's supporting cast, the fact that they disappeared for no reason is really sad
Butch Hartman became more interested in Crocker, Timmy’s Dad and sometimes Foop. He said it himself in one of his older videos.
@@manofwisdom000 "HAHAHAHAHA! Dude that teacher is so fuckin' funny! He makes me wanna merge without looking!"
Sanjay is a gay icon
@@Numbuh8578 I'd love him to be. Proof?
It's like watching a snowman slowly melt away. The background cast gets smaller and smaller. Then washes away.
I like how they kept cancelling and kept realizing it was their second most popular show
17:44
I like how there's little pictures of people on the side, implying the locomotive has hit atleast three people before, similar to WW2 aircraft kill marks. Nice detail.
This gag and similar train were used in "Lights Out".
6:33-7:22
To be fair I like how you defend this divisive character. I didn't mind Poof myself when watching the show. But we can at least say they handled him better compared to the other 2 characters that later appeared.
The Fairly Oddparents is like the Simpsons: a once great show that should've been allowed to end gracefully, but instead was milked for all it was worth and driven into the ground.
...and everyone can't decide *when* it completely fell apart, all we can agree on is that it *did* fall apart.
@@eatatjoes6751 I'd say it was good until 2006. After that, it was downhill.
@@nathanseper8738 Most of the original writers were still there until 2009, such as Scott Fellows, as explained in the video. Scott Fellows did great in the first three seasons of Johnny Test the original series as well as Ned’s Declassified and Big Time Rush, although the latter two were more of a mixed bag, but alright.
@@eatatjoes6751 It fell apart in 2013-2017. 2009-2012 was a mixed bag.
@@nathanseper8738 Fairly Odd Parents was good until Ray DeLaurentis & William Schifrin took over the show's writing in season 7 onwards and started ruining the storylines and characters. More Flanderization also started to happen in the newer seasons. Reminder: Those are the same people that worked on Coconut Fred, Scooby Doo Get a Clue & The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild
The highly anticipated second part to the most delicious retrospective is finally here! NICKtendo doesn’t disappoint.
I lived in Hackensack for about 4 months, it was okay but not as bad as the show makes it out to be in "Timmys Secret Wish!" I just think it's a bit of a boring place to live in New Jersey
As an NJ native, I can confirm there are less boring places. Have you tried Keyport?
Ill take boring over newark
@@raydgreenwald7788 The traffic up there is such a stark contrast to South Jersey. I bet New Jersey gets its reputation for insane traffic from the North.
@@Kaisona2017 yea, entirely.
How’s the Chinese food there
About the CGI in Wishology, I know this is an obvious opinion but Invader Zim was easily some of the best CGI usage in 2D animation. It definitely added a lot of character to the show and made it look super unique.
In retrospect, I often think of three things about poorly made cartoons:
1) Adults animated it
2) Adults voice acted it
3) Adults approved it
Some really insane adults with animated, voice acting, and approving poop jokes.
we may have waited a 'fairly' decent amount of time for this part but I already know it's gonna be worth it kekeke
Scott fellow writing with the fairlyoddparents makes me realized why people like to match Timmy and Johnny for a death battle
I remember how hard it was to find little to ANYTHING about wishology online or on TV although it had to had been one of the most watched episodes. Not only that but they never ‘officially’ released it by paramount so we don’t really have the episodes in HD quality aside from the live broadcast airing 😭
This is part where I would recommend Hulu but the Hulu got rid of the fairly oddparents so yeah live tv is about it.
@@gameswithpeachcord7498 Hulu used to have FOP?
Thank you! Finally someone who doesn't point to Poof as the main downfall
Completely agree. As Man of Wisdom said, Poof should no longer be blamed for the decline of The Fairly OddParents.
The Fairly Oddparents had one of the saddest downfalls ever and before Star vs and Steven Universe and partially Regular Show was the first whiff I got of what seasonal rot does to a show.
It's so sad that the show ended up hyping its mediocre episodes as these epic specials later down the line because Spongebob did that when it started circling the Super Toilet too.
I’m still extremely upset about how hard Star vs fell..it was such a good show until they added the much unneeded romantic triangle drama
i mean i think those fop episodes were pretty epic
I don't really think RS had a seasonal rot. Even the seasons with Mordecai and CJ
Steven universe is meh in my opinion
@@Oneforus21111 i feel like it largely suffered from what adventure time did as well, long hiatus between releases and got serious, lowering its broad appeal.
i LOVED wishology as a kid. i remember seeing all the promos for the specials and counting down the days until they aired. it was definitely the highlight of the series for me back then. when it aired i was an 8-9 year old whose family had only recently gotten cable, and i think that was one of the first 'tv specials' i watched in real time, so it blew my little mind.
can’t believe the screaming cosmo meme was from the episode where he was pregnant
That Dr. Bill joke was right out of left field 💀
No series is designed to continue indefinitely without experiencing some sort of diminishing returns. And FOP is a clear example of that
One Piece is still good after like 25 years, except for the anime pacing in some parts, but its mostly maintained its quality
@@majamystic256 One Piece is of course an exception, thanks for pointing that out

I fully expected him to have given up on the FOP retrospective, nice to see part 2, can’t wait to see part 3.
Edit: OK I WAS NOT EXCEPTING LOWPOLY NICKTENDO.
I know it would have been impossible, but if the original era of Fairly Odd Parents had the Jimmy/Timmy Power Hours, the middle era could have been defined by Timmy Turner/Johnny Test Crossovers, given that Scott Fellows became an executive producer
Scott Fellows was only a executive producer for season 6 due to Steve marmel's head departure after season 5. Scott moved on from the show After Wishology. From season 7 and on Ray DeLaurentis became the head writer and co-executive producer.
@@luckylol that honestly explains alot
I grew up with The later years of fairly odd parents and I have to say I actually didn’t think the show started getting bad until season 10. I actually didn’t mind Sparky but Chloe on the other hand. In my opinion Chloe is 100% what killed the show. I’m not nostalgia blind. I know in the later years the show definitely was not the best and the only reason I probably liked it was because I was a kid and had low standards but either way Chloe was the final nail in the coffin for the show and now there is a horrible reboot no one likes. And what makes it so much worse is that there isn’t even a series finale. After 10 seasons and being one of the most popular nickelodeon shows of all time show doesn’t even get a proper series finale. I think meet the odd parents should’ve been the series finale. That would’ve been the perfect place to end the show
The overuse of Crocker and Timmy’s Dad, the abandonment of continuity, and almost all secondary characters being demoted to extras were the final nail in the coffin for me.
@@manofwisdom000 That makes sense but I was a kid and did not have standards😂
I think what makes this more unfortunate is the fact that we may never get a proper finale considering there doesn't seem to be much of a demand for it and the fact that Nickelodeon wants to keep milking the franchise.
@@PeterGriffin11 Fans and even the show’s crew also should probably do their part in demanding Nickelodeon to redeem FOP with a revival (excluding Sparky and Chloe as well as all of Seasons 9 and 10 and some of Seasons 7 and 8). Otherwise, all we’re gonna get is “I hate the later seasons of FOP, at least SpongeBob got better” videos over and over again.
@@manofwisdom000 Even if we demand Nick to do that, sadly, Nick is not going to listen to the criticisms that most of their shows or even movies have. They will just treat SpongeBob as their only pet for the rest of their lives.
It's very sad to see how FOP failed from relevance and actually was good,also this video was pretty good
Hope you have a great day
Yay, I'm so happy to see part 2! And it's as long as I expected it to be, amazing job! I love your videos :)
Since I was still super obsessed with FOP back in the day (kinda helped that the network that aired the show in my region kept repeating the first 5 seasons all the time), I caught up with all of S6 and 7 when they first debuted. And while I might have subconsciously noticed that something felt "off" about them in some capacity (aside from regional dub changes like Cosmo's VA getting replaced), I pretty much enjoyed them at the time. Though I haven't rewatched them in years... just like the classic seasons. Oh well. Don't think I got to finish S8 though, only remember seeing a handful of those specials, and it stems from our home losing cable TV for a while and me transitioning from watching content on YT more often than TV. And I never bothered with the Live action specials since I knew they were gonna be bad since day 1. Kinda fitting and relieving that I left the show behind right as its (apparent, since I didn't watch the last 2 seasons) darkest final years were approaching.
What regional dub are you referring to? Sounds interesting.
Are you from Latin America by any chance?
@@Aego384 Yep. From the "FOP on Jetix" days
@@KremBotop Ah okay.
Yeah, I remember those days. FOP was also on Disney Channel and Disney XD for some reason.
I'm in the boat of growing up with the later seasons and season 10 was when I drew the line. As I've gotten older and my exposure to the series expanded, I still have a soft spot for (most of) the latter half of the show's run.
Wishology, oddly enough, isn’t the only time KISS we’re revealed to secretly be ancient and powerful beings with magic powers.
They don’t really like it when you bring THAT one up
Just like to thank you Nick and the team you some how uploaded both parts of this retrospective on days my long distance BF had to go back home after visiting me, they helped cheered me up
10:48 "Who's the greatest?"
10:49 "You are, sir." 😂😂😂
10:50 "Suck ups. 😂😂
Let's go. The second part of the Fop retrospective. This will be a fun watch.
Great video, really appreciate your hard work
Hackensack isn’t too far, still pretty easy to get good Chinese food.
I love that Cosmo screaming meme, it fits any funny joke
I think the Wishology trilogy should have been the finale. It would have been a good way to send the franchise out with a bang!
Is that a Touhou pfp? Genuinely can’t tell but it looks like one
Timmy: "we should get out of here before the commercials start then"
Ad: *immediately plays after Timmy says that*
The fact that before I watch this I see you covering shadow Showdown and immediately get happy,that is my favorite licensed game of all time tbhh
Oh no, that was a re-run years later when I was trying to watch it. It did premiere over a weekend
Bro I JUST rewatched your first video on this series. Perfect timing.
i genuinely liked poof, he was cute and not too annoying which is a very difficult thing to be in mid/late-series FOP hahah. i DO remember watching the season premiere with my mom and that feeling really awkward for a myriad of reasons
I'm really happy RUclips suggested the first part of this doc AFTER the second part was uploaded 😉
No need to wait for the chilling conclusion haha
I remember seeing the Lucky 7 marathon and 77 facts special and I didn't believe them when they were talking about adding a new character, because they had already lied so much stuff in the clip.
I am so glad that part 2’s out
You just gave me a nostalgia-induced aneurysm with that footage of Creature from the Krusty Krab!
I just thought about the Wishology trilogy like yesterday, and here this is in my recommended vids.
I remember watching and getting at least somewhat in to the Wishology trilogy as a kid, being *checks Wikipedia* 7 years old at the time.
I think my dad had me start flossing + brushing while I watched one or more parts, considering my bedtime.
19:59 it feels like Wishology may have been the last Good thing from The Fairly OddParents before the series Jumped the Shark
Great video but I'm disappointed how you didn't point out how Francis's final appearance had him be crushed by a giant F, implying he's canonically dead.
the most horrifying part of this video is that dimmadome music video at the end because it has clips from s10's dimmsdale got talent which was one of the flash episodes so everyone in those bits looks off-model
Me: I wish for the next Fairly OddParents retrospective part.
Nicktendo: Wish Granted
I saw you in an Mte video
It's really weird to see how much I remember from season 6 to 8 after watching this, and I don't think I've ever seen the show in HD/9-10. I've heard whispers of Sparky and Chloe from the grapevine but never actually saw their episodes.
Great video, anyways, keep up the good work!
I dont think nicktendo has mentioned elmer this entire retrospective, shows how memorable he is as the boil kid and thats it
Honestly, we all know its been long time to put this franchise out to pasture. Just a shame corporations are creatively bankrupt these days
@@CinnaMae420 Yeah and it shouldve stayed cancelled, heck shouldve been cancelled 10 years ago.
@@EnigmaticGentleman it shoulda never been picked up in the first place
we shouldnt have to live in a world where a wish too far is a real episode
@@EnigmaticGentleman it was cancelled 5 times. Nick keep just cancelling and reviving it.
@@CinnaMae420 There's a live action sequel
@@Spacething7474
What?
Although I have yet to stop putting off Part 1, that didn't stop me from enjoying this video! 🤓👍
Oh hey, you released this part 2 on my birthday! that's neat :)
54:07 Bad Heir Day is my favorite episode in the whole series. It was the moment I decided Crocker was my favorite character in the show.
I completely forgot about Timmy TV and was taken aback by Chester and AJ being replaced. They really Simpson’d themselves HARD there.
I appreciate you using the proper cinematography terminology for stuff like "trucking out" instead of just calling every camera move a pan lol.
WOOOOO YEAH THATS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR
Oboy, Finally been waiting since Part 1
47:38
WAS THAT THE BITE OF SEASON 7
NJ native who has lived in the area for 15 years! It's strange that they'd single out that town specifically? It's just a plain area, nothing remarkable but nothing bad. My guess is they had a writer who lived there for a while and couldn't find a Chinese food place they liked lol so they wrote it into a joke.
"...We thought you were a time-traveling Italian witch who's blackmailing Santa!" is going to be playing on repeat in my head for the next few weeks.
Geez at these hour long videos being all the rage... But congrats on this one!
I will await Part 3 of your FOP retrospective, which I know is likely to show up in either January or February of 2023 because of the pattern of time passed between when you published Part 1 and Part 2.
Cosmo answering the door in the intro is like an SCP
I had never seen that Fairy Olympics episode in my life, it’s nuts. Thanks for bringing it up!
Oh man, you just dug up that repressed childhood of looking for the 3rd part of wisholilogy, i was so mad and I still haven't seen it to this day
