* After getting the full story of why he has Cosmo and Wanda in the first place (because his parents constantly lying), Timmy forlornly wished that they would just stop. What makes this especially poignant is that this wasn't in the typically commanding "I wish for..." tone (though per Da Rules, Cosmo and Wanda grant it anyway) but Timmy actually making a heartfelt wish that his parents would genuinely change for him because what they've been doing hurts him that deeply.

** Timmy's parents are not seen or mentioned during this period Timmy was an adult meaning that they are long dead.

[[caption-width-right:350:Eventually he had to grow up, and forget his fairies as all children did eventually]]

** What's worse is, as mentioned before, Vicky's abuse is ''not'' PlayedForLaughs: she puts poor Timmy through hell by trashing his house and framing him for it, severely straining the relationship between the kid and his parents. Then, in one of her biggest KickTheDog moments yet, she takes a picture of the now in-tears Timmy just for the sake of it. Is it any wonder she's a massive HateSink?

* The ending where grown-up Timmy finds an old photo of himself, and the fishbowl...but he can't recognize his fairy godparents. It's more of a {{bittersweet ending}}, but you still almost have to hold back tears.
** Timmy in the photo is crying, and the fish in the background look completely normal...

* The reason Timmy ran away into television: His parents, ''as always'', refuse to believe that Vicky was the one who trashed the house. When his mother points out certain things that he ''did'' do (aka watch TV despite being grounded), Timmy has no answer. Which leads to Mr. Turner furiously asking [[KickTheDog "Then why SHOULD we believe anything you say!?"]]. This eventually prompts Timmy to run away into the TV world, especially when remembering his fairies would leave him once he grows old enough to not need them.

* Timmy's parents' message, which Timmy finds after realizing that his parents are way better than the ones on TV (which were either not around or were complete idiots).

* The ending, in which adult Timmy finds his time capsule, and inside is a picture of a pair of generic fish.
