Recap / The Fairly OddParents!: Fairly Odder S1E1 "Cake, Dance, & Solid Gold Pants"

Tropes:

  • Abandoned Catchphrase: Roy throughout the episode says "Let's go!", but never says it anywhere else in the series.
  • Call-Back: When Cosmo and Wanda introduce themselves to Viv, they're accompanied by a pair of searchlights and text reading "FAIRY GODPARENTS!" This recreates their introduction to Timmy (as seen in the pilot and Abra-Catastrophe!).
  • Continuity Nod: Cosmo's explanation of what wishes he and Wanda can grant is lifted from the original show's theme song: "guava juice, birthday cake, large fries, chocolate shake..."
  • Exposition Dump: Ty does this to his daughter Viv that explains the whole reason for the show to begin.
    Ty: Okay, do you expect me to apologize for reconnecting with my high-school sweetheart last week, marrying her on a whim, quitting my job, selling our house in Oldsburg, and moving to Dimmsdale to live with them? Because now that I say it out loud I realize that was nuts, so I will.
  • Literal Genie: When Viv wishes to be taller, Cosmo & Wanda end up making her so tall that she ends up pressed against the ceiling.
    Viv: Not what I was hoping for!
  • Riddle for the Ages: How on earth was Roy able to get on the sky roof window despite having a broken leg?
  • Ridiculously Successful Future Self: Timmy the "straight-F student" got into PRINCETON UNIVERSITY of all places. Justified as during his middle school and high school years, Timmy has improved academically since Crocker is not present in those interim years to give him F's.
