History YMMV / TheFairlyoddparents

* LesYay: Veronica is obsessed with Trixie. Still, oddly enough, this is actually considered a ''subversion'' by a good portion of the fandom. General opinion holds that Veronica's obsession with Trixie is, in turn, due to ''Timmy'' being obsessed with Trixie, at the very least an extremely unhealthy case of possessiveness if not outright jealousy. And Veronica likes Timmy with the "burning passion of a thousand suns", as it stands.

** There are a number of fans who tend to portray Vicky as a JerkassWoobie and a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who deep down, cares about the twerp and her young sister Tootie, often ignoring that she is a greedy, AxCrazy, abusive and sociopathic monster who actively enjoys hurting children ForTheEvulz, with ''Channel Chasers'' showing her as being an evil tyrant in the special's BadFuture. To be fair to fans though, Vicky was initially depicted to be more of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold in the earlier seasons until she became {{Flanderized}} to full blown villain later on.

* [[IdiotPlot/TheFairlyOddParents Idiot Plot]]

** Juandissimo isn't necessarily evil, but he's too sexy for his own sexiness.

** Season 10 had a mixed to negative reception among fans. Some thought it was a return to form, albeit nowhere near as good as the original seasons, while a large portion of the show's original fanbase considered it the final nail in the coffin, [[WereStillRelevantDammit especially with the usage of memes]] and the [[ArtShift abrupt shift to Flash animation halfway through the season]], which, along with the move to Nicktoons for the remaining episodes and reruns, was seen as signs of impending cancellation, which were proven correct.

* WereStillRelevantDammit: Cosmo and Wanda taking "duck lips" selfies.

** Season 6 was initially criticized back when it first aired due to starting the trend of introducing new recurring characters with Poof's inclusion and claiming that the show relied too much on "whacky baby shenanigans". Nowadays, fans have warmed up to season 6 for undoing most of the {{Flanderization}} from Season 5, not too many episodes revolved around Poof, including in the following seasons afterward, the overall lore of the show (most notably the dynamic between Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda) did not change with a few exceptions, and ''Wishology'' being praised with many preferring that to be the show's series finale with some having gone as far as to consider season 6 part of the show's golden age. Having Scott Fellows (who had been a writer for the show since season 3) as story editor that season rather than Ray [=DeLaurentis=] like the final four seasons also helps.

* VindicatedByHistory: Seasons 4 and 5 were heavily criticized initially due to issues with {{flanderization}} and some episodes that many felt were overly mean-spirited. Most fans have warmed up to them in the years since[[note]]though season 5's "It's a Wishful Life" remains [[FanonDiscontinuity the most despised episode of the series]][[/note]], with many going as far as to include them in the series' Golden Age.

** This happened frequently in the last three seasons, to the point where it became [[UpToEleven utterly ridiculous]]. One episode, for example, had Timmy unable to wish Sparky back into a dog because he was in love with being human, which somehow falls under "not being able to break true love".

** Trixie is depicted as either a GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak or a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak who hides her tomboyish side. Much of her personality is a facade. As a teen and/or adult, she'll become more comfortable with letting her more tomboyish side show.

* UncannyValley:
** An auditory example. After hearing Timmy's dad's voice come out of a cartoon character for so many years, seeing Daran Norris use it on-screen in ''Grow Up, Timmy Turner!'' is... unsettling.
** Poof [[SuddenlySpeaking talking]] is just ''creepy'' in every sense of the word. Either because the audience has already gotten used to [[PokemonSpeak him only saying his own name]], or because he suddenly [[VocalDissonance talks with the voice of a grown man]]. [[OffModel The way he's animated]] is also not pretty to look at, especially his [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily teeth]].
** The switch from hand-drawn animation to Flash was not a smooth one to say the least. The show had ran so long with their usual animation style, it was jarring when the switch happened in the middle of the season and the characters now had different movements to them.

* AmericansHateTingle: Like ''WesternAnimation/YinYangYo'' and ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', this show is hated in France, with Foop's French voice actor even disowning the show similar to how Creator/RobPaulsen disowned ''Bubsy''.

* AbandonShipping: While it didn't completely kill off the ship, several shippers ended up losing interest in the Timmy/Trixie ship after the events of "Just the Two of Us".

** In fanworks, [[HollywoodHomely Tootie]] gets a lot of these. It's worth noticing that a majority of these do not involve TheGlassesGottaGo, as the fans seem to think [[{{Meganekko}} she looks cute enough with them]]. She often gets better-looking glasses, though.

* DeconstructionFic: Cosmo and Wanda's failing relationship and Norm The Genie are often deconstructed. Notable that since the later seasons' reversal of the flanderization, the former has been fading out.
** The full implications of Timmy's HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood is another topic that gets a lot of attention from fic writers. Usually by portraying him as being a scarred, isolated teenager and/or expanding on the neglectful and resentful actions of his parents. Sometimes combined with the inevitable trauma of him losing his fairies after growing so close to them.

** Timmy transforming back into and/or deciding to permanently [[BecomingTheMask keep the form of Timmantha]] is a popular plot in fics. Especially those that go with the idea of Timmy being transgender.
** Timmy's teenager, high school years are a popular topic to explore in fanfics, given the show never touches on the idea (not even ''Film/AFairlyOddMovieGrowUpTimmyTurner'', which opts to keep Timmy in [[HeldBackInSchool middle school]] [[{{Manchild}} even as an young adult]]).

** Timmy's Dad in earlier seasons.
** "The name's ''Doug Dimmadome'', owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome!"

** "Just the Two of Us!" for Trixie, "Homewrecker" for Tootie (over a single spoken line no less), and quite possibly the producers of the show for the episode "It's a Wishful Life", a very sadistic [[ItsAWonderfulPlot Wonderful Life]] subversion, as well as the character of Jorgen Von Strangle for very cruelly and sadistically showing Timmy the subversion.

* OneSceneWonder: Stephen Hawking.

** Tootie, but her live-action version averts this.

* 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. He was so unpopular that he suddenly vanished after Season 9 and has not been seen since.

** Timmy is sometimes depicted as being a trans girl in fan works. It helps that the show has played with the possibility of what if he was a girl, including transforming him into one in "The Boy Who Would Be Queen", even implying that his life would've been better if he was a girl, inadvertently adding fuel to the idea.

** "Shitology": The ''WesternAnimation/{{Wishology}}'' trilogy. Used by Timmy/Tootie shippers who hate the special because [[ShipSinking it sunk their ship]].
*** The Dreaded Kiss: The NowOrNeverKiss between Timmy and Trixie in said special.

* MyRealDaddy: Although Butch Hartman is undeniably considered to be the show's creator, who was a writer and producer on the show's first five seasons, 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 Main/{{Uncancelled}} without his involvement.

** Timmy is sometimes depicted as being a trans girl in fan works.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6944ou10D0U main theme]] is an upbeat, swinging and insanely catchy big band orchestrated piece backed by a full chorus. The theme is largely considered to be one of the greatest Nicktoons themes and for very good reason.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Comparisons between the theme song and "Friend Like Me" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttjeHeBi4nA have been made]]. Norm's song "Gimme The Wand" seems to have been more deliberate, what with Norm being a Genie.
** The beginning of "Real and Scary" from "Scary Godparents" sounds like the verses of "Bad" by Music/MichaelJackson.
