* EvenEvilHasStandards: Crocker may be obsessed with hunting fairies, but [[spoiler:when it comes to Poof, he lets him go back to Cosmo and Wanda.]]
** Also, the one line that Vicky will not cross in regards to her horrible babysitting skills is abandoning her charge or losing sight of her charge, as evidenced by her genuine horror when Timmy seemingly disappeared under her watch.
*** Her only fear was for what'd happen to her because of that. To make things clear, the first thing she did upon finding Timmy was exclaiming "I'm saved!".
* EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench: Parodied with Juandissimo Magnifico, who is never in a scene wthout talking about how ''muy, muy macho'' he is. He also has a habit of tearing shirts to shreds by flexing his muscles. And then magicing a new shirt into existence. And then flexing that one to pieces. The lady fairies love him.
* EverythingButTheGirl: Timmy's wishing routinely alters the course of human history... but he can't get the girl, because fairies are not allowed to interfere with true love.
** Timmy finally wisens up enough to make a wish where he and Trixie are the ONLY people on Earth, and thus Trixie will have no choice but to notice him. He quickly discovers Trixie's obsessive NEED for constant attention and [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor tries to do everything in his power to get away from her]].

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: ''[[FreudianExcuse The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker]]''

* FluffyTamer - Cosmo in "This is Your Wish," with a 3-headed fire-breathing dragon named Snowball.
* FoeTossingCharge: "Timvisible"
* ForegoneConclusion: No matter what, one day Timmy will be too old to have Cosmo and Wanda, and they will go away and he will forget everything about them, and make all the same mistakes his parents did that made him miserable as a kid.
** Referenced in a VERY intriguing "plot-important" episode: As it turns out, Timmy secretly wished for [[spoiler: the rest of humanity and himself to stop aging so he COULD keep his fairy godparents forever. When this wish is revealed, it turns out this wish was active for over 50 years. Though its still impossible for Timmy to have known about his future (at least it hasn't been shown on-screen), it almost seems like he made that wish to avoid this Foregone Conclusion).]]
* ForgottenAnniversary: Cosmo believes Wanda is angry at him for no reason and has forgotten their anniversary (which he believed was the 'Styrofoam anniversary'). Turns out, it was the False Anger Anniversary (once every someodd years and was ironically on the SAME day as said anniversary Cosmo planned) and Wanda had remembered, but it's too late - he's gone home to his mom. They work it out anyway, only for Cosmo to forget it was their anniversary at the end of the episode.
* ForgottenBirthday: Timmy's...''every year'', by his own parents. Eventually he stops minding because he realizes more birthdays means growing up and eventually having to give up Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof.
** Special mention to the episode where he forgets his OWN birthday is a day later... The next day might not even be his birthday, on the account that his parents didn't seem that sure either, forgetting his name as they tell him.
--> '''Mrs. Turner:''' "We'd never forget your birthday, Tommy."
** What's really sad is that in the episode "Birthday Bashed", its shown that Vicky actually remembers Timmy's birthday better than his own parents (She even give him a piece of cake, granted its right before she straps him to a rocket)
*** In one scene Mr. Turner even says "Why would we throw a party for you?"
* ForgottenPhlebotinum: A lot of things Timmy wishes for.
** Arguably, Cosmo and Wanda themseves at times. Justified by Timmy being... not very bright. The show would be much shorter if Timmy made intelligent use of his wishes.
* ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself
* ForTheEvulz: The anti-fairies
* ForWantOfANail: According to Jorgen Von Strangle, a lot of bad things in the world are Timmy's fault.
* FourFingeredHands: {{Lampshaded}} by Juadissimo in one episode and actually mildly {{averted}} in the NoDialogueEpisode Pipe Down
* FourIsDeath: #4 on Crocker's list of things to do after becoming half a cheese man in the half day episode was "Destroy Timmy Turner" with a skull drawn next to it.
* FreakyFridayFlip: Timmy wishes to be a fairy, while Cosmo and Wanda become [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience color-coded]] twin versions of him.

* GadgeteerGenius: AJ
* GalacticConqueror: Dark Laser, Princess Mandie
* GambitPileup: Deftly parodied in "Remy Rides Again".
* GenderBender: Timmy in ''The Boy Who Would Be Queen'' going under the name 'Timantha.'
* GenderBenderFriendship: Timmy and Trixie in that same episode
* GenerationXerox: At the end of the special "Channel Chasers", the future in twenty years is shown along with Timmy [[spoiler: and Tootie]]'s kids. Not only do they closely resemble their parents (aside from swapped hair color), but also, like Timmy, they were tormented by their babysitter enough to receive Cosmo and Wanda as their fairy godparents.
* GenieInABottle: Norm--and he wants to get out of it.
* GeniusDitz: Crocker. He may be weird and outcast. But all his theories are correct and his [[GadgeteerGenius inventions actually work]], even when [[BambooTechnology he was in the Chimp-dominated World.]]
* GenreBlindness: Timmy, often
* GenreSavvy: In the Wishology special at least. Timmy ''finally'' starts being responsible from when he makes his trilogy wishes in a controlled environment at the beginning to him being able to battle the Darkness and the Eliminators without access to magic.
* GeographicFlexibility: Dimmsdale seems to border the ocean, a desert, and snow-capped mountains. ''Fairy Idol'' would go on to show that Dimmsdale is actually in southern California. This sort of justifies all 3 environments if you take into account that it's never shown just exactly how far anyone ever travels to reach these areas.
** In other episodes, Dimmsdale is shown to be in Northern California. If this is the case, then this is actually correct because there ARE mountains in California and ironically they're not far from the beach. Uncertain about the desert, though.
*** The southwestern extremes of the Great Basin Desert are within easy driving distance, but it doesn't resemble the deserts seen on the show. There are plenty of cattle sculls, but no [[MisplacedVegetation saguaros]].
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In one episode, while Timmy's parents are watching the "Dr. Bill" show, trying to learn how to be better parents, he says "Does your child take toilet paper up to his room and tell you not to bother him?"
** There are WAY more examples, but well, yeah, this ''IS'' a Nickelodeon show! Right, [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants Spongebob?]]
** The most blatant example might be the ''Cosmo-Con'' episode, where Britney Britney (the fictional celebrity parodying BritneySpears) introduces herself to the Turner family... alongside her "boys". Then, said "boys" (actually her own dancers) introduce themselves by doing what they do best: ''suggestive '''pelvic thrusts.''''' Come on.
** Another big example comes from Crocker "Ooh, the slap tango! Mother and I haven't done that in years!"
* GirlNextDoor: Vicky's sister, Tootie mixes this with Stalker with a Crush. In ''Merry Wishmas'', she lived next door to Timmy in the spot Dinkleberg's house normally occupies. This is even more apparent in the live action movie.
* GirlishPigtails: Tootie
* TheGlassesComeOff: Subverted
* GlassesPull: Dr. Rip Studwell
* GoKartingWithBowser: ''The Fairly Oddlympics''
* {{Gorn}}: Never shown outright, but implied in the Timmy-Jimmy Power Hour; the game "Decimator" is rated [[FunWithAcronyms Triple-G]], that is, [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Gratuitous Gutwrenching Gorefest.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: Jorgen Von Stangle. Even though he is usually a good guy and enforces Da Rulez (the fairy laws) to the letter, he still gets kicks out of causing people, usually Binkie, pain and threatening violence following his DrillSergeantNasty stereotype. He has backed off from it somewhat in recent seasons after marrying the Toothfairy.
* GoshDangItToHeck: You can't curse on Nickelodeon
-->'''Dark Laser:''' ''CURSES!'' [[CompanionCube Flipsy]], I'm sorry you had to hear that.

-->'''Timmy:''' "Hey! You can't say moron on the radio! You can only say it on TV!" *Vicky is later arrested for having said "moron" over the radio.*

* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Princess Man-Die (she's really yellow)
* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold
* GrossUpCloseUp: Fairly Oddlympics (the disguises of Anti Cosmo & Head Pixie), Cosmo having angry mood swings and giving insanely painful birth.
* GrowingUpSucks: Timmy will eventually lose Cosmo and Wanda. It is revealed that he tried to avert this in ''Timmy's Secret Wish'' [[spoiler: by wishing that everyone on Earth stayed the same age so he could keep them forever. A wish he made 50 YEARS AGO without anybody knowing.]]
* HahahaNo: Timmy's reaction to Jorgen's [[IncrediblyLamePun dragon pun]] in 'The Fairy World Games'.
* HairDecorations: Tootie, Veronica, and Trixie
* HairReboot: Kinda easy when you have magic powers
* HairTriggerTemper: Crocker
* HalfHumanHybrid: Francis in ''The Big Superhero Wish'', Vicky in ''Timmy the Barbarian''
* HandWave: Many fans question why Timmy could never just wish that Vicky was a nicer person, and it was eventually explained that her nastiness would have to go somewhere else.
** Also, wishing that she got fired would result in her becoming the mayor and eventually an evil overlord, ruling the world - just because she wouldn't babysit him.
** Part of the reason that Timmy even has fairies is thanks to Vicky.
* HappinessIsMandatory: A policy of Mr. Turner when he becomes a dictator.
* HappilyMarried: Cosmo and Wanda, Mr. and Mrs. Turner, Jorgen and the Tooth Fairy, [[DependingOnTheWriter depending on the episode]].
* HarmlessVillain: The Copper Cranium (in the webisodes).

* HeroicWannabe: Catman
* HeyItsThatVoice: The "igor" from Open Wide And Say Aaagh! turns into T.U.F.F. Puppy villian/fail with eye equipment person The Chamelion.
** And in The End of the Universe-ity, a worker at the death ball is Zapp Branigan.
* HeyYou: Both Timmy's parents lack actual names. His dad even introduces himself in one episode with ''My name is Timmy's father.''
** Whenever their actual names are about to be mentioned, normally something to drown it out such as a truck going by appears. Otherwise they are just referred to as [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Timmy's dad/mom, Mr./ Mrs. Turner, or, even in their childhood, "Mom" or "Dad".]]
* HiddenDepths: Mr. Crocker's past was explored in depth in the special episode ''The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker'', which revealed most importantly that [[spoiler:Mr. Crocker not only had fairies himself in his childhood, but he had Cosmo and Wanda, and was quite sane and similar to Timmy at age 10]]. Most later episodes support this fact, but [[spoiler: exactly which fairies Crocker had are contradicted]].
* HighdiveHijinks: "Emotion Commotion"
* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Timmy Turner's childhood '''IS THIS'''.
* HistoricalInJoke: One of Cosmo and Wanda's previous godchildren used their magic to [[WorldWarOne kill Archduke Ferdinand]].
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Evil Jorgen in "Action Packed", in which he's absorbed so much magic that he's swollen with '''HUGE''' muscles...and is promptly attacked by his cat, and he can't reach up to get it off, because his muscles are too huge, allowing Timmy to gain the upper hand.
** A brilliant one is seen in 'School's Out: The Musical'. The pixies had a 36 year plan involving Flappy Bob to become a laywer and signing a contract to make the world as fun as he was as a boring adult lawyer overly concerned with education and safety. Unfortunately, this is backfired on them because Flappy Bob--having the skills of a brilliant lawyer--found a loophole in the contract to make the world defined 'as defined by him'. Now tell me, who raised Flappy Bob to become a lawyer?
* HoldUpYourScore
* HollywoodVoodoo: Timmy wishes for voodoo dolls in ''YouDoo'', and Tootie gets a hold of one of them.
* HomemadeInventions: Mr. Turner's pastime

--> Chester: (holding AJ who's covered in milk) You said 'take cover'.
* IdeaBulb: Literal for magic beings.
* IdenticalGrandson: Several
* IdenticalStranger: The Turnbahms
* IdiotHero: Timmy
* IDrankWhat: One episode revolved around Cosmo, Wanda, and Timmy attending a ceremony and Timmy having a PottyEmergency, trying to find somewhere to pee. The episode ends with Cosmo and Wanda drinking a yellow liquid from a pitcher, and Timmy saying "Speaking of relief, don't drink the punch!" ''Ewwwwwwwww...''
* IfICantHaveYou: Trixie and Super Bike, both to Timmy.
* ILied: A lot of the villains.
* ImaginaryFriend: Gary
* ImmortalProcreationClause: Sort of. Fairies apparently have lifespans of thousands of years to forever. Poof and Cosmo are the youngest fairies, with Cosmo being (at least) centuries old.
** Actually it's mentioned that this is in place specifically ''because'' of Cosmo.
* ImpossibleThief: Dr. Bender in ''Shiny Teeth''. Guess what he steals.
* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: The Crimson Chin
* ImprobablyPredictable: This takes place when Timmy wishes his parents had superpowers, then when he finds they are too busy with fighting evil that they can't take care of him, and wishes that they weren't superheroes, but Cosmo's and Wanda's wands don't work:
--> '''Timmy:''' Let me guess,
--> '''Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda:''' They've become so powerful that they are now impervious to magic.
* InconvenientSummons: When Norm gave Timmy a lawyer, the lawyer was playing poker.
* IncredibleShrinkingMan: ''Tiny Timmy'' and the episode "Boy Toy" where Timmy shrinks down to the size of an action figure. Much of the plot is reminscient of ''Film/HoneyIShrunkTheKids''.
** Mandie also uses a shrink ray to shrink the fairies so they can't help Timmy when she marries Mark.
* IndyPloy
* IneptTalentShowContestant: Timmy's homemade, crappy film is recognized as a great comedy (though it wasn't intended as such).
* InescapableNet: Fairies lose their powers if caught in a butterfly net.
* InformedFlaw: Tootie is said to stalk Timmy, but this angle has never been elaborated beyond minor gags nor caused Timmy any major plot problems.
** In one episode Timmy is shown to have a restraining order against her, but as he notes it 'has expired' so it's not in use anymore.
* InkSuitActor: Chip Skylark, Catman, Norm, Dr. Rip Studwell, HP

* JerkAss: Timmy, Cosmo, Jorgen
* JerkassFacade: Trixie, [[WriterOnBoard depending on the writer]].
* JerkJock: Francis
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Timmy, Jorgen
* JokerJury: Especially in ''Escape from Unwish Island'', but other episodes have their own fair share.
* JustEatGilligan: Timmy never wishing that his godparents would never be seen, so he could keep them forever.
** If that ever happened it'd naturally be twisted in some way. Timmy not being able to see them either, Timmy being the ''only'' person who can't see them, and so on.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Crocker, as seen in a time travel episode
* DarkHorseVictory
* DarkIsNotEvil: [[spoiler: The Darkness in Wishology]].
* TheDarkSide: Dark Laser's dark suit, Bob the Boil
* DartboardOfHate: Used often. One memorable one is Mama Cosma against Wanda

* DavidVersusGoliath: Timmy vs. Francis
* DeadpanSnarker: Norm the Genie again. What do you expect when it's played by Norm [=MacDonald=]?
* DeadPetSketch
* DefrostingIceQueen: Twice for Vicky, once for Trixie. All have a ResetButton.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Used when they turn the show into a Noire style detective film trying to find out who kidnapped Wanda.
--> Jorgen: "And why is that corner of the room still black and white!?"
* DemotedToExtra: Arguably, Timmy's best friends, Chester and A.J. From being two major characters in the early seasons, they now appear very sporadically, often in non speaking roles. A.J. seems to have suffered the worst from this trope.
** And for [[LiveActionAdaptation the live action movie]], they may as well be TheArtifact as they appear in at most [[spoiler: three scenes and they only have an interaction with Timmy in next to the last scene.]]
** It's most evident with Veronica after season five and Francis after season six.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "Oh no, it's Chester, the worst player on the team! That's how he got the nickname Chester, the worst player on the team!"

* DifferentForGirls: Timmy in "The Boy Who Would Be Queen",
* DirtyCoward: The Mayor in ''School's Out, the Musical!''
* DisappearedDad: Cosmo's dad
* DisneyCreaturesOfTheFarce: In one episode Vicky becomes nice and summons animals to help her clean the house. It doesn't end well.
** Happens in the episode "Squirrely Puffs" as Mrs. Turner leads her troop of Cream Puff girls up a mountain, only to be accompanied by all the woodland creatures. They are eventually driven insane by the animals' constant singing, braiding of their hair and moose massages. The animals turn feral.
* TheDitz: Cosmo
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Crocker's freakouts due to his issues with fairies seem a tad....orgasmic. When his therapist Dr. Fancyfree does it as well, it doesn't exactly help the cause.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Timmy to Trixie, Mark to Vicky.
** Tootie to Timmy in a female example.
* DorkHorseCandidate: Timmy runs for class president.

--> '''Chip:''' "Sometimes it's hard being pretty and talented"
--> '''Timmy:''' "And delicious!"
--> '''Chip:''' "What?"
--> '''Timmy:''' "Uh, my dad said that"
** Also implied for Timmy himself if Sanjay's obsession with Timmy is any indication. [[spoiler: When he became Timantha, A.J. became very smitten with him/her]]. Also when Timmy [[spoiler: was aged up to 16 year old super model]] ''both'' Chester and A.J. [[spoiler: seemed to swoon over him]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Crocker may be obsessed with hunting fairies, but [[spoiler:when it comes to Poof, he lets him go back to Cosmo and Wanda.]]
** Also, the one line that Vicky will not cross in regards to her horrible babysitting skills is abandoning her charge or losing sight of her charge, as evidenced by her genuine horror when Timmy seemingly disappeared under her watch.
*** Her only fear was for what'd happen to her because of that. To make things clear, the first thing she did upon finding Timmy was exclaiming "I'm saved!".
* EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench: Parodied with Juandissimo Magnifico, who is never in a scene wthout talking about how ''muy, muy macho'' he is. He also has a habit of tearing shirts to shreds by flexing his muscles. And then magicing a new shirt into existence. And then flexing that one to pieces. The lady fairies love him.
* EverythingButTheGirl: Timmy's wishing routinely alters the course of human history... but he can't get the girl, because fairies are not allowed to interfere with true love.
** Timmy finally wisens up enough to make a wish where he and Trixie are the ONLY people on Earth, and thus Trixie will have no choice but to notice him. He quickly discovers Trixie's obsessive NEED for constant attention and [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor tries to do everything in his power to get away from her]].
*** With a fantastic moral to go with it.
--> '''Timmy:''' "Note to self: Never break up with a girl in the Violent Gardening Tool section"
* EverythingsBetterWithBob: ''Tiny Timmy''
* EverythingsBetterWithBunnies: The Easter Bunny

'''Timmy Turner:''' He's right. I can't, not by myself, If I am going to get Cosmo and Wanda back, and undo all of norms tricks, I am going to need someone as dishonest and devious as a [[JerkassGenie 50,000 year old magical jerk]]. [[MakeAWish I wish I had a lawyer.]]\\
'''Fairy Mason:''' [[InconvenientSummons Yeah, Yeah five aces. Huh? What?]]
* EvilOverlord: Crocker and Vicky in ''Abra-Catastrophe'' and ''Channel Chasers''
** Also the Giant Brain in the episode "Future Lost"
** As a RunningGag in the Ms. Dimmsdale Pageant episode, the one who recieves the prize to be 'Mayor for a day' is imagined to be this. [[spoiler: Mr. Turner wins and makes this happen the exact way it is imagined.]]
* EvilRedhead: Vicky
* EvilSorcerer: Mr. Crocker in "Timmy the Barbarian"
* EvilSoundsDeep
* EvilTeacher: Mr. Crocker
* EvilTwin: The anti-fairies and the Nega-Chin
* ExactEavesdropping: Used to varying degrees often enough, but played with most notably in "Grass is Greener" where Timmy's eavesdropping at precisely the wrong moments leads him to run away from home.
* ExactProgressBar: Parodied in "Information Stupor Highway". "-1%" anyone?
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: ''[[FreudianExcuse The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker]]''
* ExhaustedEyeBags: When Timmy makes a wish where no one had to sleep, everyone in Dimmsdale gets bags under their eyes from fatigue, and various other Gross-Up Close-Up aliments coming from not sleeping.
* ExpositoryThemeTune
* EyeBeams: Timmy wishes for this in ''Father Time'', and gives it to his parents when they become the super heroes ''Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad''
** His dad's version, though is accidentally meat vision instead of heat vision.
*** He has both. He's just that awesome.
*** His parents briefly believes Timmy has picnic vision.
* EyepatchOfPower: Truant Officer Shallowgrave
* FMinusMinus: Timmy gets ''a few'' of these over the show's run. It's even lampshaded.
-->'''Timmy:''' "Cool, there's a D in here!"
** In "Deja Vu" his parents starts to grade him this way once he gets home.
-->'''Dad:''' "Hey, guess what, Timmy, we're gonna grade you on your performance! We'll give you an A-!"
-->'''Timmy:''' "An A-minus?!"
-->'''Dad:''' "Up-bup-bup, questioning the grades, that gives you a B."
-->'''Timmy:''' "But..."
-->'''Dad:''' "Talking back, that gives you a C!"
-->'''Timmy:''' "A C?!"
-->'''Dad:''' "Raising your voice! D!"
--> '''Timmy:''' "That's a Q!"
--> '''Dad:''' "That gives you an F, smarty pants!"
*** What's more hilarious is that after he gets the do-over watch, he does the exact same thing to his dad.
* TheFaceless: Timmy's parents in the ''OhYeahCartoons'' shorts.
** And Remy's parents in the show itself.
* {{Fainting}}
* TheFairFolk: Strangely enough, WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents combines this with FairyCompanion, and most magical creatures have this aspect to them.
* FairyGodmother: The premise, along with BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor / MakeAWish.
* FakeShemp: Chip Skylark in ''Mind Over Magic''
* FakeUltimateHero: [[spoiler: Turbo Thunder]]
* TheFamilyForTheWholeFamily: Big Daddy's group
* FangsAreEvil: The Anti-Fairies, Timmy as ''Nega Timmy''

* FirstNameBasis: Seen in ''The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker''

** TheHero: Timmy
** TheLancer: Cosmo
** TheChick: Wanda
** TheHeart: Poof
** TeamPet: Sparky
* FlashBackBackBack: nearly always
* {{Flight}}: All magical creatures, the Crimson Chin
* FlintstoneTheming: The "[=AbraCatastrophe=]" special does this with ape puns.
* FlirtingUnderFire: In the 3-part episode, Timmy flirts with Trixie and kisses her as they're about to be sucked into a black hole.
* FluffyTamer - Cosmo in "This is Your Wish," with a 3-headed fire-breathing dragon named Snowball.
* FoeTossingCharge: "Timvisible"
* ForegoneConclusion: No matter what, one day Timmy will be too old to have Cosmo and Wanda, and they will go away and he will forget everything about them, and make all the same mistakes his parents did that made him miserable as a kid.
** Referenced in a VERY intriguing "plot-important" episode: As it turns out, Timmy secretly wished for [[spoiler: the rest of humanity and himself to stop aging so he COULD keep his fairy godparents forever. When this wish is revealed, it turns out this wish was active for over 50 years. Though its still impossible for Timmy to have known about his future (at least it hasn't been shown on-screen), it almost seems like he made that wish to avoid this Foregone Conclusion).]]
* ForgottenAnniversary: Cosmo believes Wanda is angry at him for no reason and has forgotten their anniversary (which he believed was the 'Styrofoam anniversary'). Turns out, it was the False Anger Anniversary (once every someodd years and was ironically on the SAME day as said anniversary Cosmo planned) and Wanda had remembered, but it's too late - he's gone home to his mom. They work it out anyway, only for Cosmo to forget it was their anniversary at the end of the episode.
* ForgottenBirthday: Timmy's...''every year'', by his own parents. Eventually he stops minding because he realizes more birthdays means growing up and eventually having to give up Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof.
** Special mention to the episode where he forgets his OWN birthday is a day later... The next day might not even be his birthday, on the account that his parents didn't seem that sure either, forgetting his name as they tell him.
--> '''Mrs. Turner:''' "We'd never forget your birthday, Tommy."
** What's really sad is that in the episode "Birthday Bashed", its shown that Vicky actually remembers Timmy's birthday better than his own parents (She even give him a piece of cake, granted its right before she straps him to a rocket)
*** In one scene Mr. Turner even says "Why would we throw a party for you?"
* ForgottenPhlebotinum: A lot of things Timmy wishes for.
** Arguably, Cosmo and Wanda themseves at times. Justified by Timmy being... not very bright. The show would be much shorter if Timmy made intelligent use of his wishes.
* ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself
* ForTheEvulz: The anti-fairies
* ForWantOfANail: According to Jorgen Von Strangle, a lot of bad things in the world are Timmy's fault.
* FourFingeredHands: {{Lampshaded}} by Juadissimo in one episode and actually mildly {{averted}} in the NoDialogueEpisode Pipe Down
* FourIsDeath: #4 on Crocker's list of things to do after becoming half a cheese man in the half day episode was "Destroy Timmy Turner" with a skull drawn next to it.
* FreakyFridayFlip: Timmy wishes to be a fairy, while Cosmo and Wanda become [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience color-coded]] twin versions of him.
* FriendlyEnemy: Juandissimo, especially since he's in love with Wanda
* FriendVersusLover: [[spoiler: the premise of the Live-Action movie]].
* FunnyForeigner: Sanjay
* FutureBadass: in ''Channel Chasers'' [[spoiler:Timmy]]
** And [[spoiler: Chester and A.J. and Tootie and Vicky]].
* FutureLoser: in ''The Big Problem'' [[spoiler:also Timmy]]
* GadgeteerGenius: AJ
* GalacticConqueror: Dark Laser, Princess Mandie
* GambitPileup: Deftly parodied in "Remy Rides Again".
* GenderBender: Timmy in ''The Boy Who Would Be Queen'' going under the name 'Timantha.'
* GenderBenderFriendship: Timmy and Trixie in that same episode
* GenerationXerox: At the end of the special "Channel Chasers", the future in twenty years is shown along with Timmy [[spoiler: and Tootie]]'s kids. Not only do they closely resemble their parents (aside from swapped hair color), but also, like Timmy, they were tormented by their babysitter enough to receive Cosmo and Wanda as their fairy godparents.
* GenieInABottle: Norm--and he wants to get out of it.
* GeniusDitz: Crocker. He may be weird and outcast. But all his theories are correct and his [[GadgeteerGenius inventions actually work]], even when [[BambooTechnology he was in the Chimp-dominated World.]]
* GenreBlindness: Timmy, often
* GenreSavvy: In the Wishology special at least. Timmy ''finally'' starts being responsible from when he makes his trilogy wishes in a controlled environment at the beginning to him being able to battle the Darkness and the Eliminators without access to magic.
* GeographicFlexibility: Dimmsdale seems to border the ocean, a desert, and snow-capped mountains. ''Fairy Idol'' would go on to show that Dimmsdale is actually in southern California. This sort of justifies all 3 environments if you take into account that it's never shown just exactly how far anyone ever travels to reach these areas.
** In other episodes, Dimmsdale is shown to be in Northern California. If this is the case, then this is actually correct because there ARE mountains in California and ironically they're not far from the beach. Uncertain about the desert, though.
*** The southwestern extremes of the Great Basin Desert are within easy driving distance, but it doesn't resemble the deserts seen on the show. There are plenty of cattle sculls, but no [[MisplacedVegetation saguaros]].
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In one episode, while Timmy's parents are watching the "Dr. Bill" show, trying to learn how to be better parents, he says "Does your child take toilet paper up to his room and tell you not to bother him?"
** There are WAY more examples, but well, yeah, this ''IS'' a Nickelodeon show! Right, [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants Spongebob?]]
** The most blatant example might be the ''Cosmo-Con'' episode, where Britney Britney (the fictional celebrity parodying BritneySpears) introduces herself to the Turner family... alongside her "boys". Then, said "boys" (actually her own dancers) introduce themselves by doing what they do best: ''suggestive '''pelvic thrusts.''''' Come on.
** Another big example comes from Crocker "Ooh, the slap tango! Mother and I haven't done that in years!"
* GirlNextDoor: Vicky's sister, Tootie mixes this with Stalker with a Crush. In ''Merry Wishmas'', she lived next door to Timmy in the spot Dinkleberg's house normally occupies. This is even more apparent in the live action movie.
* GirlishPigtails: Tootie
* TheGlassesComeOff: Subverted
* GlassesPull: Dr. Rip Studwell
* GoKartingWithBowser: ''The Fairly Oddlympics''
* {{Gorn}}: Never shown outright, but implied in the Timmy-Jimmy Power Hour; the game "Decimator" is rated [[FunWithAcronyms Triple-G]], that is, [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Gratuitous Gutwrenching Gorefest.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: Jorgen Von Stangle. Even though he is usually a good guy and enforces Da Rulez (the fairy laws) to the letter, he still gets kicks out of causing people, usually Binkie, pain and threatening violence following his DrillSergeantNasty stereotype. He has backed off from it somewhat in recent seasons after marrying the Toothfairy.

* HairDecorations: Tootie, Veronica, and Trixie

** Also, wishing that she got fired would result in her becoming the mayor and eventually an evil overlord, ruling the world - just because she wouldn't babysit him.
** Part of the reason that Timmy even has fairies is thanks to Vicky.

* HiddenDepths: Mr. Crocker's past was explored in depth in the special episode ''The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker'', which revealed most importantly that [[spoiler:Mr. Crocker not only had fairies himself in his childhood, but he had Cosmo and Wanda, and was quite sane and similar to Timmy at age 10]]. Most later episodes support this fact, but [[spoiler: exactly which fairies Crocker had are contradicted]].
* HighdiveHijinks: "Emotion Commotion"
* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Timmy Turner's childhood '''IS THIS'''.
* HistoricalInJoke: One of Cosmo and Wanda's previous godchildren used their magic to [[WorldWarOne kill Archduke Ferdinand]].
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Evil Jorgen in "Action Packed", in which he's absorbed so much magic that he's swollen with '''HUGE''' muscles...and is promptly attacked by his cat, and he can't reach up to get it off, because his muscles are too huge, allowing Timmy to gain the upper hand.
** A brilliant one is seen in 'School's Out: The Musical'. The pixies had a 36 year plan involving Flappy Bob to become a laywer and signing a contract to make the world as fun as he was as a boring adult lawyer overly concerned with education and safety. Unfortunately, this is backfired on them because Flappy Bob--having the skills of a brilliant lawyer--found a loophole in the contract to make the world defined 'as defined by him'. Now tell me, who raised Flappy Bob to become a lawyer?
* HoldUpYourScore
* HollywoodVoodoo: Timmy wishes for voodoo dolls in ''YouDoo'', and Tootie gets a hold of one of them.
* HomemadeInventions: Mr. Turner's pastime
* {{Housewife}}: Mrs. Turner, although in the earlier seasons she was portrayed as real estate agent.
* HumanShield: In ''Transparents''
--> Chester: (holding AJ who's covered in milk) You said 'take cover'.
* IdeaBulb: Literal for magic beings.
* IdenticalGrandson: Several
* IdenticalStranger: The Turnbahms
* IdiotHero: Timmy
* IDrankWhat: One episode revolved around Cosmo, Wanda, and Timmy attending a ceremony and Timmy having a PottyEmergency, trying to find somewhere to pee. The episode ends with Cosmo and Wanda drinking a yellow liquid from a pitcher, and Timmy saying "Speaking of relief, don't drink the punch!" ''Ewwwwwwwww...''
* IfICantHaveYou: Trixie and Super Bike, both to Timmy.
* ILied: A lot of the villains.
* ImaginaryFriend: Gary
* ImmortalProcreationClause: Sort of. Fairies apparently have lifespans of thousands of years to forever. Poof and Cosmo are the youngest fairies, with Cosmo being (at least) centuries old.
** Actually it's mentioned that this is in place specifically ''because'' of Cosmo.
* ImpossibleThief: Dr. Bender in ''Shiny Teeth''. Guess what he steals.
* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: The Crimson Chin
* ImprobablyPredictable: This takes place when Timmy wishes his parents had superpowers, then when he finds they are too busy with fighting evil that they can't take care of him, and wishes that they weren't superheroes, but Cosmo's and Wanda's wands don't work:
--> '''Timmy:''' Let me guess,
--> '''Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda:''' They've become so powerful that they are now impervious to magic.
* InconvenientSummons: When Norm gave Timmy a lawyer, the lawyer was playing poker.
* IncredibleShrinkingMan: ''Tiny Timmy'' and the episode "Boy Toy" where Timmy shrinks down to the size of an action figure. Much of the plot is reminscient of ''Film/HoneyIShrunkTheKids''.
** Mandie also uses a shrink ray to shrink the fairies so they can't help Timmy when she marries Mark.
* IndyPloy
* IneptTalentShowContestant: Timmy's homemade, crappy film is recognized as a great comedy (though it wasn't intended as such).
* InescapableNet: Fairies lose their powers if caught in a butterfly net.
* InformedFlaw: Tootie is said to stalk Timmy, but this angle has never been elaborated beyond minor gags nor caused Timmy any major plot problems.
** In one episode Timmy is shown to have a restraining order against her, but as he notes it 'has expired' so it's not in use anymore.
* InkSuitActor: Chip Skylark, Catman, Norm, Dr. Rip Studwell, HP
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: ''Knighty Knight''
* InstantAwesomeJustAddMecha: ''The Switch Glitch''
* InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja: ''Action Packed''
* InstantSedation
* InterspeciesRomance: Several times Cosmo has shown attraction to humans.
* InvoluntaryShapeshifting: In ''The Gland Plan''
* IronicEchoCut: Used frequently
* ItsAWonderfulPlot: Cruelly subverted in "It's A Wishful Life" as a test given by Von Strangle.
* ItsQuietTooQuiet: "Action Packed"
* JackassGenie: Norm.
* TheJeeves: Seen in ''Vicky Gets Fired''
* JerkAss: Timmy, Cosmo, Jorgen
* JerkassFacade: Trixie, [[WriterOnBoard depending on the writer]].
* JerkJock: Francis
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Timmy, Jorgen
* JokerJury: Especially in ''Escape from Unwish Island'', but other episodes have their own fair share.
* JustEatGilligan: Timmy never wishing that his godparents would never be seen, so he could keep them forever.
** If that ever happened it'd naturally be twisted in some way. Timmy not being able to see them either, Timmy being the ''only'' person who can't see them, and so on.
