History YMMV / TheFairlyOddparents

** Crocker announcing to the class Timmy had gotten his 5000th F was mean; turning it into a celebration in which his own friends were cheering, hilarious.

* [[HilariousInHindsight/TheFairlyOddParents Hilarious In Hindsight]]

* TheScrappy: Sparky, Timmy's fairy dog from season 9. After his first episode, he became immediately despised for his reckless, irresponsible, clueless, selfish, and downright obnoxious behavior. His addition also violated basic continuity (his previous owners were adults) and was considered superfluous as the show already had Cosmo as the {{Lethally Stupid}} ditz. The fact that he was a smart-mouthed, talking dog added to the character roster in an attempt to keep the show fresh, meant viewers making direct comparisons to [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Poochie]], a famous parody of an obnoxious, newly-added character, were as immediate as they were predictable. He was so unpopular that he suddenly vanished after Season 9 and has not been seen since.

** Tootie, because she gets an even more miserable life than Timmy (she is [[TeensAreMonsters Vicky]]'s little sister, and [[BigBrotherBully Vicky always tortures her whenever she is not babysitting]], meaning that she is twice as miserable as Timmy) and unlike Timmy she does not have her own Fairy Godparents and apparently her only consolation is her crush for him. She is also one of the few characters in the series who is always consistently nice to Timmy, even more than Cosmo and Wanda (who sometimes are mean-spirited with him for RuleOfFunny), even if she acts like a StalkerWithACrush, and this is one of the reasons why she's one of the most popular characters in the fandom.

* FirstInstallmentWins: Despite the EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, Season 1 would be the only FULL season acceptable to all fans.

** Most fans agree than ''WesternAnimation/ChannelChasers'' was the highest point of the series.

** Depending on the part of the fanbase you talk to, the show's true conclusion is one of its three major animated movies/specials: those being either season three's "Abra-Catastrophe!", season five's "Channel Chasers", or season six's "Wishology!" three-parter. More tolerant fans will view the Season 8 finale "Meet the [=OddParents=]" as the stopping point, but no matter what, Seasons 9 and 10 are never to be discussed.

* AmericansHateTingle: During the 2000s, the series was really hated in Latin America, not for its quality, but because children's channel Jetix was [[AdoredByTheNetwork so obsessed with it]], that they removed various series that people liked (''Anime/SonicX'', ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa'', ''Manga/ShamanKing'', ''Franchise/{{Beyblade}}'', ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior'', ''Franchise/Digimon'', the ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' Anime/UnicronTrilogy, ''Anime/UltimateMuscle'', ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 TMNT 2003]]'', ''VideoGame/{{Medabots}}'', ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'', and ''Anime/{{Shinzo}}'', just to name a few) just to put more episodes on the schedule, which naturally didn't go well with their fanbase. This has [[VindicatedByHistory died down considerably]] since then (Jetix was closed in 2009, and its successor, Disney XD, only aired the series for a few more years at the late hours of the rings until the license ran out in 2018), and now the show is remembered much more fondly, with many people having admitted that it was really good, especially the early seasons, but the overexposure on Jetix really ruined the reputation of the show for a long time.

** The early seasons frequently have brief moments where a character comments on or uses some popular bit of technology at the time, like Vicky plugging in a DVD player, a fangirl wanting to auction Timmy's clothes on the Internet, and Vicky having a flip-style cell phone. This also includes Timmy's classic WildCardExcuse ("Uhh... Internet?").

** Anti-Cosmo gets hit hard with EvilIsSexy. However, Anti-Wanda generally does not.

* MyRealDaddy: Although Butch Hartman is undeniably considered to be the show's creator, Steve Marmel, who was a writer and producer on the show's first five seasons, is considered to be the real reason why the show was as good as it was. Especially since the show is regarded to have quickly went [[SeasonalRot downhill]] after he departed from the show and the show was subsequently {{Uncanceled}} without his involvement.

** "The Mr.Crocker and Timmy's Dad Show": Many fans have renamed the series with this name because, since Season 7 onwards, both characters have become in almost [[CreatorsPet the two new protagonists of the series]], especially in [[SeasonalRot/TheFairlyOddParents Seasons 9 and 10]].
