Original air date: 10/15/2011

Episode number: 125

Three of Timmy's enemies (Foop, Mr. Crocker, and Dark Laser) form an alliance to get revenge on him once and for all. Things don't go well, but can Vicky's addition turn the tables?

Tropes:

  • Continuity Nod: At the beginning, Crocker briefly captures Timmy's fairies in his Crockerpot, which was first seen in "Bad Heir Day".
  • Debating Names: Foop, Mr. Crocker, and Dark Laser are trying to find a name for their team-up. Mr. Crocker suggests "The Crockerjacks" (Foop questions what this even means), and Dark Laser tries to name it "The Flipsies", after his pet toy dog, and gets turned down. Foop comes up with the "League of Super Evil Revenge Seekers"; they all like it because "no one can make fun of them with a name like that!"
  • Embarrassing Initials: When Mr. Crocker, Dark Laser, and Foop form an alliance to take down Timmy, they're trying to think of a name for their group and one of the names Foop cames up with is League Of Super Evil Revenge Seekers. They all agreed to the name being oblivious it spells "LOSERS" and even after getting T-shirts with the acronym on it and Timmy questioning their group name they're still oblivious.
  • Extra-Long Episode: The episode runs for 22 minutes, as opposed to the usual 11-minute runtime of an episode.
  • Four-Man Band: The LOSERS is an evil example:
  • Fun with Homophones: When Foop tries to attack Timmy with a sun model at a museum, he tells Cosmo and Wanda, "It's time for me to crush your son, with the sun!"
  • How We Got Here: The first scene of the episode is Timmy running through a dark forest, and getting completely vaporized with a laser by an unknown attacker. The episode then shifts to 24 hours earlier, leading up to the events of this point. The ending shows that Timmy wished for all of his enemies to be lookalikes of himself, and he was never actually in danger.
  • Immediate Self-Contradiction: After forming the LOSERS, Foop announces that everyone will contribute equally. He promptly asks Crocker and Dark Laser to pick up the tab for the restaurant they just ate at.
  • Literal Metaphor: Timmy's dad keeps his bucket list inside an actual bucket.
  • My Friends... and Zoidberg: Timmy's dad wants (what he thinks is) a cereal because "all the cool kids and Timmy are eating it!"
  • Rule of Three: The episode begins with three short scenes of the LOSERS waiting six months to ambush Timmy, then messing it up. All three of them end up getting their legs ripped off by a bear.
  • Skewed Priorities: Timmy sees that his enemies have teamed up on the back of a newspaper, while his dad is looking for a club to join.
    Dad: Sewing club! That sounds like fun!
    Timmy: (sees "You're Doomed, Timmy Turner" message) AAAAAAH!
    Dad: What is it, Timmy? Have you heard not-so-good things about the sewing club?
    Timmy: No, dad! My sworn enemies have teamed up to destroy me!
    Dad: So the sewing club is fine then? Ooh, that's a relief! See ya!
