Episode number: 5b

To get Vicky to be nice to him, Timmy wishes to switch minds with her dog, Doidle. But the problem is, Doidle is scheduled to be "fixed" the following day.

Tropes:

  • Animals See in Monochrome: After Timmy switches with Doidle, he sees in black and white.
  • Animal Talk: Timmy can talk in Doidle's body, but the problem is humans cannot understand him.
  • Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: This exchange occurs when Vicky takes Doidle to get fixed:
    Vicky: [observing Dr. Snipowitz's devices] What's this thing?
    Dr. Snipowitz: Well, we call that the Pushy Thingy, and this is the Pully-Lifty Thingy, and this is the Pushy-Pully-Lifty Thingy.
  • Card-Carrying Jerkass: Doidle gleefully declares that he’s a jerk when revealing that he was able to speak the whole time.
  • "Freaky Friday" Flip: Between Timmy and Doidle.
  • Free the Frogs: Wanda is concerned when one of her fairy friends mentions that her godkid switched places with a frog, citing dissection.
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: When Timmy and Doidle are switching brains, Timmy's brain is shown to be rather small, while Doidle's brain is humongous.
  • Grossout Fakeout: Timmy in Doidle's body comes across one of Vicky's teenage magazines lying on the floor and raises up one of his legs, ready to pee on it. The very next shot is a close-up shot of what appears to be urine splashing on the magazine, but then it zooms out to reveal it's actually a commercial for a liquid weed whacker formula on a TV that Doidle in Timmy's body is watching.
  • Morality Pet: Doidle is one to Vicky.
  • Oh, Crap!:
    • Wanda's friend has this reaction when she realizes her godchild might get dissected.
    • Timmy has this when he learns that Doidle is due to get "fixed".
  • Operation: Jealousy: Doidle refuses to allow the wish to be unwished since he likes being human. Wanda poofs into a poodle and flirts with Timmy until Doidle gets jealous enough to unwish the wish.
  • Suddenly Speaking: Doidle is able to speak verbally when in Timmy's body, albeit with a more limited vocabulary.
  • Toilet-Drinking Dog Gag: During one moment, Doidle (in Timmy's body) starts drinking out of a school toilet. Upon witnessing this, Chester and A.J. claim Timmy to be tougher than Francis, prompting the bully to start drinking out of a toilet as well, and then they join in afterward.
  • Voices Are Not Mental: Timmy in Doidle's body can only speak in dog language (Doidle's barks), making the fairies unable to understand him, while Doidle in Timmy's body speaks in the latter's voice.
