* SeriesFauxnale: The BigDamnMovie nature of the trilogy has many fans believe this was meant to be the end of the series, especially when it was learned that earlier drafts of the story had Timmy's secret revealed with no mentioned of a ResetButton. However, further seasons had already been ordered, with season seven premiering just a few months later.

to:

* SecondChapterCliffhanger: {{Parodied}} in the sixth season's three-parter finale of ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''. Timmy wishes to do his own Movie Trilogy but things start going haywire when his fairies are removed from the picture. While "The Big Beginning" ends with a very vague SequelHook, "The Exciting Middle Part" ends in a HeroicSacrifice, with [[TheHero Timmy]] turning himself to [[EldritchAbomination The Darkness]]. We are meant to believe it ends like this but, as any genre-savvy viewer knows, of course, it doesn't. The over-the-topness doesn't help in taking it seriously either.

* OutsideContextProblem: The Darkness serves as this -- an EldritchAbomination with an army of robots for enforcers is ''far'' out of everyone's league. The ancient fairies only narrowly defeated it in the past and things get so bad that Timmy revealing the existence of his fairies to everyone else isn't even much of an issue -- the situation is so dire, Da Rules don't apply.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In retrospect, Jorgen erasing everyone’s memories of Timmy was more troublesome than helpful, as Timmy's confusion and frustration at everyone in Dimmsdale not recognizing him ends with the ten-year-old boy inadvertently exposing his presence to the Eliminators.

Seems a bit nebulous to claim that it's a Shout Out when it's a common enough plot device to be its own trope (which is potholed in the example, to boot).
