* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Cosmo and Wanda "borrowed" Mark Chang after Timmy wished for an alien for his friends to play with, claiming that they can't create an alien out of nothing. In later episodes, creating entire eco-systems out of nothing is almost not worth mentioning, since it happens so often.

* TestOfPain: PlayedForLaughs. To determine if Timmy really is the "great Earth warrior" he claims to be, the Yugopotamians put him through tests to see what kind of agonizing ordeals he can endure. Since these are the [[BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad Yugopotamians]], though, said tests are skipping through a field of flowers, hugging a teddy bear, and eating a candy bar.

''Spaced Out'' is the first segment of the second episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', airing on April 6, 2001

Timmy, Chester, and AJ are acting out scenes from Crash Nebula, a show they like, and so Timmy wishes that they could have a toy alien to play with. However, Cosmo and Wanda end up bringing over Mark Chang, a real alien from the planet of Yugopotamia, who falls in love with Vicky. Timmy must find Mark’s parents on Yugopotamia so they can convince Vicky to let him go home.

!This episode contains examples of:

* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: The Yugopotamians debut by fearing flowers, chocolate, and teddy bears.
* CirclingBirdies: Vicky sees stars after Mark hugs her too tight.
* DirectionlessDriver: King Grippulon has to blow up several planets because he won't ask for directions.
* GoodNewsBadNews: The now famous introduction of Philip the Nickel.
--->'''Timmy:''' So what's the good news?\\
'''Cosmo:''' The alien we got you is actually a prince from [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy the dreaded war-planet]] Yugopotamia!\\
'''Wanda:''' And his parents are on their way to destroy the Earth and rescue their son!\\
'''Timmy:''' Then what's the ''bad'' news?\\
'''Wanda:''' Oh wait... that ''was'' the bad news.\\
'''Timmy:''' ''Then what's the good news''!?\\
'''Cosmo:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I found a nickel]]!
** Later, it happens again. Cosmo's interpretation is that the "good" news is he named the nickel Phillip. The bad news is [[GenderBlenderName it's a girl nickel]].
* PowerOfLove: Timmy runs into the true love rule when he can't send Mark home.
