Timmy wishes to have a magic watch to rewind time so he can do things over. Vicky soon gets a hold of it, however, and when Timmy wishes for a second one that only works for him, things start getting really weird.

This episode contains examples of:

  • Applied Phlebotinum: Timmy's second reset watch is nuclear powered, so Timmy can redo as often as he wants.
  • Bandage Mummy: At the end of episode Vicky is left in full body after being hit the school bus.
  • Bears Are Bad News: During one of the do overs, Timmy almost gets mauled by a bear, luckily he uses the Wanda reset watch to save himself.
  • Big Ball of Violence: Whenever Timmy and Vicky are attacked by cats after using the watches, they end in a cloud when the cats scratch them. In the one do over, they end in one when they briefly fight each other over the Cosmo watch.
  • Butt-Monkey: Timmy and Vicky. They suffer Amusing Injuries while torturing each other by using the watches to do things over.
  • Cats Are Mean: Whenever cats are summoned using the reset watches, they attack either Timmy or Vicky, eventually causing them both to attacked hundreds of angry cats.
  • Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys: When Timmy's water balloon reaches France, the couple it hits yells "We surrender!".
  • Continuity Nod: The French couple that Timmy hits with his water balloon were introduced in the "Nations of the World" Montage from its twin episode "Fool's Day Out".
  • Epic Fail: Timmy somehow lobs a water balloon all the way to France while trying to hit Francis.
  • "Eureka!" Moment: When Wanda tells Timmy to he should make sure the next time he wishes for something that it only works for him. This gives Timmy an idea to have Wanda turn into another reset watch, that only works for him after she gives Timmy a disapproving look.
  • Failure Montage: Timmy tries to trick Francis so he can splash him with a water balloon; however, he keeps missing and hits someone else instead. He misses four whole times before he finally nabs him.
  • F--: Timmy takes F to a whole new level, causing Mr. Crocker to give him a "Super F".
  • "Groundhog Day" Loop: Timmy wishes for a watch that allows him to do-over a few seconds, which is granted by Cosmo turning into one. It takes a lot of power so multiple successive uses will have diminishing returns that leave Cosmo exhausted.
  • Killer Gorilla: In one of the do overs Vicky almost gets mauled by a gorilla, before she uses the Cosmo reset watch to save herself.
  • Loyal Phlebotinum: Wanda lampshades that Timmy wishing up some gadget goes wrong because he forgets to include this and it inevitably ends up in someone else's hands. After Cosmo is taken by Vicky, Timmy wishes Wanda to become another reset watch, quickly adding that only he can use it after a disapproving look from her.
  • Oh, Crap!:
    • Timmy and Wanda's reaction once Vicky gets ahold of the Cosmo reset watch.
    • Vicky, when she can’t use the Wanda reset because only works for Timmy, and is about to hit by the school bus, breaking every bone in her body.
  • A Taste Of His Own Medicine: Mr. Turner has opted to grade Timmy on his performance, and he lowers the grade every time he's questioned. During a do-over, Timmy is only too happy to do the same to his father. Mr. Turner is reduced to tears over getting an F.
