Tropes with their own pages

• Early-Installment Weirdness
• Flanderization

D

• Dark and Troubled Past: Crocker, as seen in a time travel episode. Timmy mucking around in his childhood cost him his fairies, gave him his current disfigured appearance, and also made him a social pariah for most of his childhood due to a misunderstanding. This is also the root of his obsession with fairies, as he still has some lingering memories of the event.
• Dark Is Not Evil: The Darkness in Wishology. Its "attacks" on other worlds was it simply looking for companionship, and the destruction of those worlds was simply retaliation when those worlds assumed the worst and preemptively attacked.
• Dartboard of Hate:
  • "What's the Difference?" has a scene where Mr. Crocker sharpens F's to throw at a dartboard with Timmy's picture on it.
  • Timmy is shown to have a dartboard with Crocker's picture on it in his room in "Presto Change-O".
  • "Scary GodCouple" shows that Vicky has thrown darts at a picture of Timmy in her room.
  • Crocker is shown throwing darts at a dartboard with Timmy's face on it in "Married to the Mom".
  • A poster of Chloe is shown having darts thrown at it in "Chloe Rules!"
• David Versus Goliath: Timmy vs. Francis. Francis is two years older, three times bigger, and much, much stronger. The only time they ever have an even fight is if Timmy evens the odds with magic or has an authority figure intervene.
• Deadpan Snarker: Norm the Genie's dialogue is almost entirely composed of wisecracks. What do you expect when he's played by Norm MacDonald?
• Death by Irony: Well, actually Amusing Injuries by Irony, but only because rockets don't kill anyone on this show. In "Operation F.U.N.", three rockets are pointed at Timmy's godparents for the case that Timmy, AJ and Chester fail the military obstacle course (it's a long story). AJ can redirect them in time and Remy, Juandissimo and the sadistic drill sarge are Hoist by His Own Petard resp. the rockets with the "U" and the "N" painted on it. This leaves rocket "F"... you have one guess on which head it will land, for once totally undeserved.
• Debating Names:
  • In "Fairly Odd Baby", everybody keeps giving different names to Cosmo and Wanda's new baby. Wanda calls him "Talulah," Timmy calls him "Li'l T" (short for "Li'l Timmy"), and Cosmo calls him "Barfolomew" (due to the intense Morning Sickness he had during pregnancy) and "Keanu," and Jorgen calls him "Kajagoogoo" and then quickly changes to "Elvis." Even Anti-Cosmo and the Head Pixie argue over what to name the baby when they kidnap him. Eventually, they go with "Poof" because it's the one thing he can say.
    Anti-Cosmo: Now if you'll excuse us, we must go and harness Fauntleroy's magic here and commence our evil plot of doom.
    Head Pixie: Fauntleroy? We are not calling the baby Fauntleroy. I was thinking Bill. Bill's a guy you trust with your business portfolio.
  • In "When LOSERS Attack", 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!"
• Deceptively Cute Critter: A few episodes have the characters contend with the Gigglepies, rabbit-like aliens who plot to Take Over the World.
• Defrosting Ice Queen:
  • Vicky, ironically while trapped in an Arctic cave with Timmy. Being forced to spend time together with no way out cause her to open up and become friendly. Until the end of the episode, anyway.
  • Trixie had this in earlier episodes, where she occasionally is charmed enough by Timmy's efforts to win her over to admit that she likes him a little bit. This is abandoned later in the show's run.
• Deliberately Monochrome: Used when they turn the show into a Noire style detective film trying to find out who kidnapped Wanda.
  Jorgen: "And why is that corner of the room still black and white!?"
  • Used twice in "Meet The Oddparents" to the same effect as above.
• Deliberately Painful Clothing: In "Scary God Couple", Foop is forced to wear a sandpaper diaper and Vicky is forced to wear a sandpaper tutu.
• Demoted to Extra: From Season 7 onward, every character who wasn't Timmy, Cosmo, Wanda, Crocker, Timmy's Dad, Jorgen, or Foop got this in some capacity.
  • Timmy's best friends, Chester and A.J, went from being two major characters in the early seasons to only appearing very sporadically, often in non speaking roles. For the first live action movie, they appear in three scenes while only interacting with Timmy in the next to last scene.
  • It's most evident with Veronica after Season 5 and Francis after Season 6, both seeming to borderline fade away.
  • After Season 2, this happened to evil dentist Dr. Bender, once a semi-recurring villain, but then only making brief cameos once in a while (and voiced by Butch Hartman attempting to imitate Gilbert Gottfried). He stopped appearing after Season 5.
  • Tad and Chad after Season 6.
  • Trixie Tang suffered from this too, especially after Season 7.
  • Tootie as well besides the live action movies.
  • Don't forget about Vicky. She was the main antagonist in the early years of the show, but nowadays she rarely shows up after the intro.
  • Foop was, for the longest time, the only recurring Anti-Fairy seen since his debut episode. All the others seemed to disappear entirely, only making cameos in the final seasons.
  • Even Poof, despite being given a Promotion to Opening Titles in Season 9, started to appear less and less, while Sparky appeared more and more. Season 10 only had him make one appearance while his counterpart Foop still made more appearances.
  • Sparky made no appearances in the final season as he was written off due to fan complaints.
• Department of Redundancy Department: "Oh no, it's Chester, the worst player on the team! That's how he got the nickname Chester, the worst player on the team!"
• Depraved Dentist: Dr. Bender is a dentist and clearly shown to be the "enjoys making patients feel pain" kind. The episode "Shiny Teeth" even reveals that he's willing to painfully extract children's teeth just because he can and with no regard to their objections.
  A.J.: Don't you hear the scary music and the thunder? And see how it's nighttime all of a sudden? He's mean! He's a dentist! He's a mean dentist!
• Deus ex Machina: Amazingly subverted. You’d think that having fairy godparents would make it so that every problem Timmy ever had could be wished away, but it’s not so. First off, half the problems in the show come from Timmy making a stupid wish, and second, even Fairy magic has rules that, more often than not, prevent Cosmo and Wanda from fixing Timmy’s problems.
• Devil in Plain Sight: Subverted. Pretty much everyone in Dimmsdale knows Vicky is evil, especially her parents. It's mostly Timmy's parents who don't know it. The one time they DO figure it out in "Channel Chasers" Timmy hits the Reset Button.
  • They figure it out again and fire her later on when she tapes over the parents' dance rehearsal video. Contrived Coincidences follow.
• Different for Girls: Timmy in "The Boy Who Would Be Queen" accidentally wishes to be a girl while wondering what it would be like.
• Disappeared Dad: Cosmo's dad, who got turned into a fly by Cosmo when he was a baby. This is one of the reasons why Jorgen Von Strangle decided to make Cosmo the last fairy that was ever born until 10,000 years later.
• Disney Creatures of the Farce: In one episode Vicky becomes nice and summons animals to help her clean the house. It doesn't end well.
  • Happens in the episode "Squirrely Puffs" as Mrs. Turner leads her troop of Cream Puff girls up a mountain, only to be accompanied by all the woodland creatures. They are eventually driven insane by the animals' constant singing, braiding of their hair and moose massages. The animals turn feral.
• Disproportionate Retribution: In the Halloween Special, Remy Buxaplenty's father unleashes hounds on Timmy and his friends because he thought their costumes were bad.
  • In "Bad Heir Day", Wanda is furious with Timmy for letting Poof out of his sight and, despite Timmy saying he went through hell to retrieve him, including getting attacked by alligators and swallowed by a monster, she decides he hasn't suffered enough and leaves him to be mauled by the alligators yet again.
• The Diss Track: "Boys in the Band" is about Vicky wanting to marry Chip Skylark for his money. Timmy rescues Chip, and he performs a song called "Icky Vicky" about her evil nature and bad babysitting service.
• The Ditz:
  • Cosmo, in what is a combination of a criminally short attention span, Literal-Minded|ness, and just general stupidity.
  • Catman, though his absentmindedness is the result of genuine insanity. He does have brief moments of lucidity that show that he's not quite as spacey as he usually appears, but his relationship with reality is so tenous that they don't last long.
• Ditzy Genius: Crocker can can construct a portal to Fairy World, just by being on-the-edge insane.
• DIY Dentistry: In the episode "Teeth For Two", as Timmy's loosening buck teeth is literally worth a diamond, Jorgen forcefully tries to pull them out with pliers as a dowry for his fiancee, the Tooth Fairy. When she finds out, she is not happy about it as it's her job to do that, and calls off the engagement. Later, as part of his plan to entrap the Tooth Fairy to reconcile with Jorgen, Timmy has his loose buck teeth pulled out by Dr. Bender though a doorknob and a string. Timmy gladly remarks that it didn't hurt, before the teeth bounces back at him and hits his eye.
  Timmy: And now to Phase Two.
• Does Not Like Spam: Cosmo is revealed to not like beets in "Playdate of Doom" and even goes to great lengths to get rid of them so he doesn't have to eat them.
• Does This Remind You of Anything?: Crocker's freakouts due to his issues with fairies seem a tad... orgasmic. When his therapist Dr. Fancyfree does it as well, it doesn't exactly help the cause.
  • In "Super Bike," Timmy's relationship with his bike resembles an abusive relationship. The bike prevents Timmy from seeing his friends and manipulates him into not destroying him. The bike is too powerful to destroy all at once, resembling the god complex of an abuser, and needs to be taken apart piece by piece.
• Dogged Nice Guy:
  • Timmy to Trixie, for the most part. His repeated attempts to impress her or win her over with Grand Romantic Gestures usually don't work out, but she at the very least got more friendly towards him with each attempt.
  • Mark to Vicky, though his being Yugopotamian and her being a sociopath means that "nice" has a rather...idiosyncratic definition here.
• Dominance Through Furniture: In "A Bad Case Of Diary-Uh!", Vicky exploits her position of babysitter to force Timmy to drop to his knees and act as footrest while she watches TV.
• Dork Horse Candidate: Timmy runs for class president against Tad and Chad. He's grossly outmatched; not only are Tad and Chad so popular that they can win over a crowd just by pointing and winking, but they've got enough money to simply buy people's loyalty anyway. He does manage to win, but only due to the entire school (except himself) being sick with food poisoning on election day.
• Doting Parent: Wanda, to both Timmy and her actual son Poof. She's far more indulgent with Poof, because he's just a baby, but even her nagging of Timmy is just her way of smothering him with love.
• Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Vicky and her abuse of Timmy is often Played for Laughs although still not to the extent of most other examples. It is shown that Vicky's abuse does have a negative impact on his life in several instances. Indeed, it is one of the reasons -if not the main reason- he has Fairy Godparents outside of his less than intelligent parents.
  • Inverted in one episode where Timmy wishes to be Vicky's babysitter and gets some revenge. He's completely played out as the bad guy, at least until kid Vicky gets the fairies and goes mad with power, and tries to kill him. Then Timmy's the hero again and tricks her out of it.
• Double Standard: Violence, Child on Adult: Vicky acts dominating towards her parents, causing them to fear her. This is always Played for Laughs. Imagine the reaction of the audience if the roles were reversed.
• Downer Ending: "The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker." In an effort to prevent Crocker from becoming evil on March 15, Timmy accidentally reveals his fairies to the crowd, traumatizing Crocker into becoming the torturous crazy teacher he is today. Timmy can't even go back to fix it because Jorgen Von Strangle bans him from travelling back in time to that month ever again.
• The Dragon: The Lead Eliminator in Wishology serves as one to The Darkness, doing most of the heavy lifting and commanding the other Eliminators on Earth.
• Dreaded Kids' Party Entertainer Job: In the Oh Yeah! Cartoons short "The Fairy Flu", the clown at Tootie's birthday party makes a sardonic remark implying that he currently regrets his career choice.
  Clown: No, Mom, I don't need college. I'm going to follow my dream and become a clown.
• Dressed Like a Dominatrix: Hair Razor is a superheroine turned evil. She wears a black leather leotard, thigh-high high-heeleed boots, a choker, and a leather jacket.
• Drill Sergeant Nasty: Jorgen Von Strangle is the lead (and only, as far as we know) instructor at the Fairy Academy, and runs the place like R. Lee Ermey runs a boot camp.
• Driven to Suicide: 'VERY close with Timmy in the It's a Wonderful Plot subversion episode, It's A Wishful Life'', although neither the word suicide nor the word death is spoken, Timmy's offer to Jorgen to erase himself from existence to improve everyone else's lives is essentially a clear enough offer to kill himself.
• Dropped After the Pilot:
  • A very unusual example. In the first Oh Yeah! Cartoons short Vicky had a younger brother whom we heard screaming over the telephone. We never saw his face and subsequent episodes make no further reference to him, with Vicky's younger sister Tootie being her only confirmed sibling.
  • If the Oh Yeah! shorts altogether count as a series of pilots, then "The Zappys" also has an example in Jorgen Von Strangle's godchild Winston, who was completely ignored after The Fairly OddParents became a full-fledged series. An episode late in the series' run even established that Jorgen hasn't had any godchildren because of his rough and belligerent demeanor.
• Dub Pronunciation Change: In the Italian dub. Chet Ubetcha's last name is either pronounced "Oo-batch-ka", "Oo-Back-uh" or "Oo-batch-uh".
• Dude Magnet: Trixie Tang is the most popular girl at school, and everyone wants to date her.
  • To a much lesser extent with Vicky who has Mark, Ricky, and possibly Foop attracted to her.
• Dumb Muscle: Francis. He's got the build of a wrestler and the strength of two of them, but he's a twelve-year-old elementary school student who can't read, can barely write, and can't do basic arithmetic.
• Dumbass Has a Point: Later on, when Cosmo's ditziness is Flanderized into barely-functioning stupidity, his brief moments of good counsel become this. It's almost always commented on by Wanda or Timmy, only for Cosmo to regress right back into being an idiot.

E

• Easily Forgiven: Despite trying to eat the brains of Timmy and his two friends in his first appearance and trying to fight Timmy to the death in his second, Mark Chang quickly becomes one of Timmy's closest friends from his third appearance onward.
• Easter Bunny: The Easter Bunny is an antagonist in the first Christmas special, due to jealousy towards Santa for having a more popular holiday. He shows up again in Abra-Catastrophe to gift Timmy with some explosive Easter eggs, which come in handy later on when the latter has to fight Crocker.
• Eating the Enemy:
  • In the episode, Imaginary Gary, Timmy decides to wish back his old Imaginary Friend Gary out of nostalgia. But he unfortunately proves to a be Jerkass that's sour at Timmy for forgetting him. To spite him, he steals all of Timmy's friends and the attention of his parents. Fed up, Timmy tries to wish Gary back into his mind, but Gary being a part of Timmy, is able to wish him there as well. This leads a Battle in the Center of the Mind that Timmy is able to ultimately win by thinking up a monster-sized version of Vicky to eat Gary whole. Unfortunately, after Timmy leaves, the Vicky spits Gary out because she hates the taste of cool.
  • In the episode So Totally Spaced Out, Mark enlists Timmy's help to save his planet Yugopatamia from an Alien Invasion by a race known as the Gigglepies which are cute little bunnies that are disturbingly cute and jolly. However, they prove to be Killer Rabbits as they use their cuteness to make their victims submit and then blow up the victims' planet when they're done. Yugopatamians, being terrified of of all that's cute and nice, are too scared to resist. Timmy and his fairies are unable to resist their cuteness. Just when all seems lost, Cosmo says they're cute enough to eat and actually tries to eat one of them, only to find they're made of manure which coincidentally happens to be a Yugopatamian delicacy. Timmy than wishes for the Yugopatamians to be freed from their cages with a hungry bellies, and they then eat all the Gigglepies.
• Egg Sitting: Poof and Foop are tasked with taking care of an egg as a school assignment in "Two and a Half Babies".
• Egopolis:
  • Crocker turns Fairy World into Crocker World in the first Jimmy Timmy Power Hour.
  • Vicky turns Dimmsdale into Vickyland in "Vicky Gets Fired".
• Election Day Episode: The episode Hail to the Chief. Timmy runs against co-student council presidents Tad and Chad. In a twist Timmy wins but hates being president, so he intentionally gets himself impeached.
• Elemental Plane: One episode had several. When Timmy wishes to become a fairy and attempts to get to "Fairy World", he first ends up in "Scary World" and "Hairy World". A cow then shows up in Hairy World asking if she's in "Dairy World".
• Elephant in the Living Room: This series has quite a few, some bordering on Fridge Logic:
  • The series never shows poor and/or starving children in third-world countries with fairy godparents, despite the fact they're obviously more deserving of them than "an average kid who no one understands".
  • Timmy never makes any sort of world-benefiting wish, like no discrimination, world peace, a cure for cancer, etc. While this could be justified in that he's a self-centered 10-year-old child and when he grows up all remnants of his fairies magic will disappear, it seems implausible that he never thought to wish for something like this not even once.
• Embarrassingly Dresslike Outfit: In one episode, Timmy's mother makes him wear a kilt, but he doesn't like it and calls it a skirt.
• Embarrassing Hospital Gown: In "Open Wide and Say Aaagh!", Timmy has to wear a hospital gown while awaiting his tonsillectomy. There are a couple of gags of "full moons" being flashed, including poor Timmy running into his dad (who was wearing the gown because he was voluntarily having his gall bladder removed) bent over.
• Embarrassing Tattoo: Timmy in Five Days Of FLARG. Due to Laser-Guided Amnesia, he gets a tattoo that says "Carly" without any memory of getting the tattoo or who Carly even is. He meets up with her later on and discovers that she's a beautiful older woman with a matching tattoo, which raises all sorts of uncomfortable questions.
• Endless Winter: In the TV special "Christmas Everyday!" one of the consequences of Timmy's everyday is Christmas wish is that everyday is a snow day. This made it extremely difficult for him to travel to the north pole to get Santa Claus' help in cancelling the wish.
• Enfant Terrible:
  • Cosmo and Wanda were former godparents to a girl who abused their powers to assassinate Archduke Ferdinand and kick start World War I.
  • Cosmo himself was shown to be one. HE is the main reason the fairy council put a restriction on fairies having children.
  • Poof in his terrible twos stage. Pure, unbridled magic and a penchant for temper tantrums is a bad combination.
  • Foop in a nutshell. Unlike his fairy counterpart, he's outright malicious rather than just tempermental, and has a genius intellect that he puts to all the wrong uses.
• Engineered Public Confession: What Crocker always tries to get out of Timmy. He knows that Timmy can't just come right out and tell anyone that he has fairies, so Crocker's main goal is to catch Timmy off guard and get him to reveal it by accident.
• The Epic: "Wishology!" invokes this, being consciously organized in a classical three-act structure, each consisting of an hour-long special. Timmy's also cast in the role of a standard heroic archetype, though with the show's own comedic twist.
• Epic Fail:
  • Timmy's dad once tried to fix a pencil sharpener at work and failed so badly they had to call in THE COAST GUARD.
  • Timmy is HORRIBLE when it comes to charades, and costs the Turners' winning streak to the Dinkleburgs in just 1.25 seconds.
• Episode Title Card: Often used since the 30 minute show can have two 15 minute episodes.
• Eskimos Aren't Real:
  • In "Something's Fishy", a giant squid is treated as a mythical creature... until one actually shows up.
  • "Viral Vidiots" has Timmy's Mom comment on learning that Uzbekistan is an actual place and not just a made-up comedy word.
  • In "A Boy and His Dog-Boy", Timmy tries to pass Sparky turned into a human as a foreign exchange student. When his father and Mr. Crocker ask which country Sparky is from, Timmy answers that he came from Turkey. Both Timmy's Dad and Crocker assume that Turkey is a made-up country.
• Even the Girls Want Her: Trixie Tang. It goes so far that her own Beta Bitch has a Stalker Shrine dedicated to Trixie in her bedroom.
• Even the Guys Want Him: Chip Skylark
  Chip: "Sometimes it's hard being pretty and talented"
  Timmy: "And delicious!"
  Chip: "What?"
  Timmy: "Uh, my dad said that"
  • Also implied for Timmy himself if Sanjay's obsession with Timmy is any indication. When he became Timantha, A.J. became very smitten with him/her. Also when Timmy was aged up to 16 year old super model both Chester and A.J. seemed to swoon over him.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Crocker may be obsessed with hunting fairies, but when it comes to Poof, he lets him go back to Cosmo and Wanda. Also in the latest live action movie where they go to Hawaii, even though under the influence of the Abra-Cadabrium, Crocker does not want the destruction of Fairy World either.
  • Also, the one line that Vicky will not cross in regards to her horrible babysitting skills is abandoning her charge or losing sight of her charge, as evidenced by her genuine horror when Timmy seemingly disappeared under her watch.
    • Her only fear was for what'd happen to her because of that. To make things clear, the first thing she did upon finding Timmy was exclaiming "I'm saved!".
  • "Chindred Spirits" indicates that Crimson Chin villain H2Olga draws the line at pedophilia. When she turns out to be the Crimson Chin's blind date, the Chin responds by running for it while leaving Timmy in his place. When H2Olga sees a ten-year-old boy waiting for her while wearing a fedora and holding a rose, she gently informs Timmy that he's too young for her.
• Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Every time someone is about to say Timmy's parents' names, it is muted by a loud noise. For most of the series, they simply go by "Mom", "Timmy's Dad", or variants.
• Everyone Looks Sexier if French: Parodied with Juandissimo Magnifico, who is never in a scene without talking about how muy, muy macho he is. He also has a habit of tearing shirts to shreds by flexing his muscles. And then magicking a new shirt into existence. And then flexing that one to pieces. The lady fairies love him.
• Everything but the Girl: Timmy's wishing routinely alters the course of human history... but he can't get the girl, because fairies are not allowed to interfere with true love.
  • Timmy finally wisens up enough to make a wish where he and Trixie are the ONLY people on Earth, and thus Trixie will have no choice but to notice him. He quickly discovers Trixie's obsessive NEED for constant attention and tries to do everything in his power to get away from her.
    • With a fantastic moral to go with it.
  Timmy: "Note to self: Never break up with a girl in the Violent Gardening Tool section"
• Evil Counterpart: The fairies have Anti-Fairies as their evil counterparts
• Evil Costume Switch: Timmy in Nega Timmy is a particularly over-the-top example. When he turns evil he gets a flowing black cape, a stovepipe hat, a jagged, black haircut, and a forked tongue.
• Evil Laugh: Every villain in the series loves to laugh dramatically, but special props to the Pixies' monotone version.
• Evil Lawyer Joke:
  • "Genie Meanie Minie Mo" features a rib at lawyers being considered unsavory people when Timmy figures out how to undo the damages Norm the Genie has caused.
  Norm: All right, all right, I'll give you three more wishes. Alright, smart guy, what are your three wishes this time? And seriously, you probably wanna do the teeth thing. C'mon, now, kid, try to outwit me. You can do it. And by that, I mean you cannot do it.
  Timmy Turner: He's right. I can't, not by myself. If I'm going to get Cosmo and Wanda back, and undo all of Norm's tricks, I'm going to need someone as dishonest and devious as a 50,000-year-old magical jerk. I wish I had a lawyer.
  Fairy Mason: Yeah, yeah, five aces. Huh? What?
  • "Timmy's Secret Wish" has Foop serve as the prosecutor at Timmy's trial, explaining that he became a lawyer so he could be evil enough to destroy Poof.
  • "Fairly Odd Fairy Tales" uses a "lawyers are evil" joke in the episode's take on The Three Little Pigs, where the Big Bad Foop (Foop as an anthropomorphic wolf) states that he's become a lawyer and that a lawyer is the most evil thing ever.
• Evil Overlord:
  • As a Running Gag in the Ms. Dimmsdale Pageant episode, the one who receives the prize to be 'Mayor for a day' is imagined to be this. Mr. Turner wins and makes this happen the exact way it is imagined.
  • Crocker and Vicky in Abra-Catastrophe and Channel Chasers respectively. Crocker gets ahold of Wanda and uses her magic to warp reality and install himself as ruler of the world, while Vicky attempts to magically manipulate the History Channel to make herself dictator of the world (presumably by making herself dictator of Germany and winning World War II, but this is never said outright).
  • The Giant Brain in the episode "Future Lost" attempts to do this by leading a robot uprising, apparently out of sheer boredom.
• Evil Redhead: Vicky. It apparently runs in her family, as her father, who shares that particular feature, was also evil when he was a teenager. Her sister Tootie, who has black hair, is far more benevolent, and its implied that her mother, who also has black hair, was as well.
• Evil Sorcerer: Mr. Crocker in "Timmy the Barbarian", a clear reference to Thulsa Doom in the namesake movie and comic book. He's also this in Big Superhero Wish, being a Composite Character pastiche of Doctor Strange and Doctor Octopus.
• Evil Teacher: Mr. Crocker at his worst. He often moves from being an Apathetic Teacher to being outright sadistic towards his students, depending on his mood and who's writing for him.
• Evolving Credits: The re-animated Season 9 intro adds Poof to it. Despite this, the intro is still the same.
• Exact Eavesdropping: Used to varying degrees often enough, but played with most notably in "Grass is Greener" where Timmy's eavesdropping at precisely the wrong moments leads him to run away from home.
• Exact Progress Bar: Parodied in "Information Stupor Highway". Crocker's computer is apparently so slow that the progress of an upload can go to -1 percent. Later, when Timmy is deleting a video file of his fairies, the progress bar beings to slide backwards to 0.
• Exact Words: Timmy's specific wording of his wishes ends up coming back to haunt him quite often when he tries to undo his wish. This is lampshaded in "Odd Ball".
  Timmy: I have got to be less specific with these wishes!
• Exactly What It Says on the Tin: The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker is an episode that shows Mr. Crocker's heretofore unknown backstory.
• Excessive Evil Eyeshadow: Timmy has this as part of his dark suit in "The End of the Universe-ity".
• Excrement Statement: In "Poof's Playdate", one of the ways Timmy attempts to distract his parents from discovering Poof and the de-aged Cosmo, Wanda, Jorgen, Juandissimo, Tooth Fairy and Cupid is by convincing his mom and dad that they can be better parents by acting like dogs and playing fetch. When Timmy's parents return, Timmy's dad implies that he pooped on Dinkleberg's lawn.
• Exhausted Eye Bags: When Timmy makes a wish where no one had to sleep, everyone in Dimmsdale gets bags under their eyes from fatigue, and various other Gross-Up Close-Up aliments coming from not sleeping.
• The Exit Is That Way: Mr. Turner is so upset over how unhelpful he was with Timmy's homework he decides to leave Timmy's room. He first enters the closet, then the bathroom, and then he finally leaves Timmy'd bedroom... through the window.
• Exploiting the Fourth Wall:
  • Happens in-universe when the Nega-Chin, a villain from a comic book, goes to the writer's house and fights him to get him to write a story where he wins.
  • A few minutes into "Timmy's Secret Wish", the fairies are deciding how to celebrate Timmy's millionth wish. Jorgen suggests a song... then starts singing the show's theme. As a bonus, Timmy raises his eyebrows directly at the screen.
• Eye Beams: Timmy wishes for this in Father Time, and gives it to his parents when they become the super heroes Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad. Timmy uses this power later when saving his parents, friends, and back-up friends in Unwish Island.
• Eyepatch of Power: Truant Officer Shallowgrave. It's seems to be for real, as whatever took his eye also apparently took his hand.

F

• F--:
  • When not satisfied with just giving Timmy a regular F, Crocker sometimes grades his work with a Super F.
  • In "Deja Vu" his parents starts to grade him this way once he gets home.
  Dad: "Hey, guess what, Timmy! We're gonna start grading you on your performance! We're giving you an A-!"
  Timmy: "An A-minus?!"
  Dad: "Up-bup-bup, questioning the grades, that gives you a B."
  Timmy: "But—"
  Dad: "Talking back, that gives you a C!"
  Timmy: "A C?!"
  Dad: "Raising your voice! D!"
  Timmy: "That's a Q!"
  Dad: "That gives you an F, smarty pants!"

  • What's more hilarious is that after he gets the do-over watch, he does the exact same thing to his dad.
• Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Mary-Ann. You can't get much more demonic than starting the First World War.
• The Faceless: Timmy's parents in the Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts and Remy's parents in the show itself.
• Failed a Spot Check: The entirely of colonial-era Dimmsdale either failed to notice that Alden Bitterroot was levitating, or just didn't think anything of it. The same could be said for Timmy, who doesn't seem to notice until The Reveal.
• Faint in Shock: Timmy's dad faints from shock quite regularly.
• The Fair Folk: Strangely enough, the show combines this with Fairy Companion, and most magical creatures have this aspect to them.
• Fairy Godmother: The premise, along with Be Careful What You Wish For / Make a Wish.
• Fairy Sexy: Juandissimo and the Tooth Fairy are both considered to be the most beautiful of everyone in Fairy World.
  • Cosmo becomes this in "Where's the Wand?".
  • Wanda becomes this as well in the episode "Double-Oh Schnozmo!"
• Fake Shemp: Chip Skylark in Mind Over Magic. He makes a brief re-appearance at the end of the episode, but Chris Kirkpatrick, who voices him, does not. Instead, they just use stock audio of him singing "My Shiny Teeth and Me".
• Fake Ultimate Hero:
  • Alden Bitterroot in "Which Witch is Which?". He's hailed in Dimmsdale's present for his witch-hunting exploits, but when Timmy goes back in time to Dimmsdale's founding, he learns that the "witches" are just innocent people, animals, and even inanimate objects. Then it turns out Bitterroot himself is a witch.
  • Turbo Thunder is a complicated example. He actually is The Chosen One, and has the powers to match, but he ultimately fell asleep and Missed the Call, leading to his destiny getting passed to Timmy instead. He spends most of the second act and some of the third act trying to reclaim his place, but is not taken seriously by anyone, especially not the Big Bad, because they all think he's a pretender looking for glory.
• Fallen Cupid: Anti-Cupid is the Anti-Fairy counterpart of Cupid. While Cupid's job is to distribute love all across Earth, it can be presumed that Anti-Cupid does the opposite.
• False Teeth Tomfoolery:
  • "The Same Game", debut episode of Depraved Dentist Dr. Bender, reveals at the end that his own teeth are actually dentures.
  • "Twistory" has a joke about George Washington's false teeth where they are used to prevent John Hancock from signing Benedict Arnold's Declaration of Surrenderpendence.
  • "That Old Black Magic", the first episode where the Anti-Fairies appear, has the Anti-Fairies use their magic to make people suffer bad luck at the amusement park Timmy and his parents are attending on Friday the 13th. One of their victims is an attractive man at a hot dog stand who is revealed to be wearing false teeth when a wrecking ball is swung upon him and the stand. The man arises from the wreckage to ask if anyone's found his teeth, the vendor raises the man's dentures while exclaiming "Yo" and the wrecking ball is then used to destroy the dentures.
  • "Lights...Camera...Adam!" has a gag where a handsome Hollywood actor is revealed after getting water splashed on him to be bald, elderly and a wearer of false teeth.
  • Timmy's grandfather Pappy is revealed to have false teeth in "The Good Old Days" when he tries to bite into a pizza slice and burns his tongue.
  • When Crocker starts strutting his stuff after being cured of his fairy obsession in "Crocker Shocker", two elderly women see him and their jaws drop, causing their false teeth to fall out.
  • In "Fish Out of Water", Timmy's Dad tries to capture the fish Juan using a fish magnet. It works, but also ends up attracting his belt, pocket change and dentures.
• The Family for the Whole Family: Big Daddy's group is a parody. Playing on the classic Mafia euphemism, they actually are in the business of waste disposal. They still run their business and the industry a lot like the Mafia families, just with G-rated violence and a lot of gags.
• Family-Friendly "Mature" Content: In season 6 episode 2 "Mission Responsible", Timmy Turner is tasked with babysitting Poof. He soon engages in "watching things you're not supposed to with the window wide open". The TV shows a movie showing a red sports car using an empty car carrier as a ramp to jump over a train blocking a crossing.
• Fangs Are Evil: The Anti-Fairies possess fangs while their benevolent counterparts do not. Timmy as Nega Timmy has fangs in his evil form instead of his trademark buck teeth.
• Fanservice: A memorable example when Timmy's mom is in the Miss Dimmsdale Pageant and shows Timmy that her old bikini still fits. Timmy's eye twitches, but for every male fan...
• Fanservice Extra: Numerous episodes have used this, sometimes for comedic effect. Examples include (but aren’t limited to): Mrs. Claus in Christmas Everyday!, the female lifeguards in Beach Bummed!, Carly in Five Days of F.L.A.R.G., the supermodels from Escape From Unwish Island, The Shrink from Crocker Shocker, and the surfer girls from Beach Blanket Bozos.
• Fantastic Medicinal Bodily Product: Drinking fairy sweat temporarily gives the ability to make one wish and have it come true.
• "Fantastic Voyage" Plot: Tiny Timmy, in which he ventures inside Vicky's body.
• Fighting Back Is Wrong: One episode involves Timmy turning Vicky into a kid so he can bully her for once. Though his actions toward her were much less serious than her actions toward him, Cosmo and Wanda chew him out for mistreating her, and eventually become her godparents when he makes her miserable enough. Somehow, though, her using Cosmo and Wanda to get revenge on him isn't seen as wrong.
• First Gray Hair: Timmy's dad finds one in his nose, triggering a midlife crisis.
• Flanderization:
  • Over time, Timmy became more and more of a selfish self-centered Jerkass, particularly in Seasons 4-5. Season 6 brought him down a few pegs, with it showing up every now and again, before it came back in full in Season 10.
  • Cosmo was originally a fairly competent goof with a semi-suave voice who knew what he was doing most of the time. Over time, his voice cracked and grew more shrill, while his intelligence dropped to the point where he shouldn't even be able to function, let alone live.
  • In the beginning, Wanda was just another half to Cosmo, but for the most part was a diligent thinker and the smart one. Then she became a naggy know-it-all. Season 10 semi-reverted her back to her original characterization.
  • Momma Cosma originally stated that she hated Wanda because she hates any girl who would date Cosmo, concerned for her son and not wanting him to leave. Now? She'll go so far as to abandon her plans entirely if it would make Wanda miserable.
  • Timmy's parents were originally loving, caring parents that only needed time to themselves. They did have some eccentricities, but for the most part they were stable. Now they're more stupid if anything and just barely give two licks about their own son. They've repeatedly stated that they wanted a girl and even told their own son to his face they never remember his birthday, when earlier on that wasn't the case.
    • Early on in It's a Wishful Life, they have a girl in place of him and celebrate how much better their lives were. Also regarding the birthdays, that may provide a slight defense that Timmy throws more than one per year to make up for their forgetfulness, hence the never aging.
  • Vicky may be one of the worst examples. She was originally more of a schoolyard bully, basically like how Francis was. The worst she would do to Timmy was property damage and blackmail, and even that was rare. She never tried to hurt him directly because her job entailed she keep him in one piece. For the most part, though, she did do her job. That time Timmy wished he was an adult? She was truly worried about where he was and actively tried to find him, even calling the police for assistance. Granted, it was mostly because she wouldn't get paid if she lost Timmy, but still. Now? She's an insane, chainsaw-wielding, cackling bitch that will actively and gleefully try to kill him. In an early episode, when she was watching Timmy at her house and the place got trashed, she was honestly afraid of her parents and knew they'd flip when they saw the mess. Now it's known that her parents fear her, and it's implied she's been evil since she was born. Not to mention the fact that if she lost her job babysitting Timmy the entire universe would feel her wrath. In short, there may be no redeeming her.
  • Tootie at first only had a schoolboy crush on Timmy. Over time, her crush grew into an obsession and while not making her truly evil, she became almost as bad as her sister Vicky in a way.
  • Crocker was at first a hilarious but still very competent fairy hunter who, mind you in Abra-Catastrophe successfully captured Cosmo and Wanda and took over the universe. Later seasons made him more angry, bitter, depressed and crazy rather than evil and crazy.
  • Trixie at first was the rich girl that kept rejecting Timmy's love for the more popular boys, but she still occasionally felt bad for him, and in one episode it was revealed she has a tomboyish side and shares any of Timmy's interests. In short, she was a realistic portrayal of the Alpha Bitch, maybe of the lovable variant. Later seasons made her a spoiled rich girl that would go as far as having Timmy ejected from her property, a stereotypical Alpha Bitch.
  • Chester went from being a lower-middle-class kid, to a hobo that eats garbage.
  • A.J. was originally just considered a kid of above average intelligence, while maybe being the smartest kid in Timmy's class. He ended up becoming a super-genius black mix of Dexter and Jimmy Neutron.
• Flashback with the Other Darrin: Season 3's "The Big Scoop!" retells the events of the season 1 episode "A Wish Too Far" through the perspective of Chester and A.J. However, both Chester and A.J. had their voice actors changed from who had portrayed them in season 1 by then, with Jason Marsden replacing Frankie Muniz as Chester, and Gary LeRoi Gray replacing Ibrahim Haneef Muhammad as A.J.
• Flight: All magical creatures, the Crimson Chin and Nega-Chin, several of the superheroes in "The Big Superhero Wish"... all over the place, really.
• Flintstone Theming: The "AbraCatastrophe" special does this with ape puns.
• Flirting Under Fire: In the 3-part episode, Timmy flirts with Trixie and finally kisses her as they're about to be sucked into a black hole.
• Fluffy Tamer - Cosmo in "This is Your Wish", with a three-headed fire-breathing dragon named Snowball.
• Fluffy the Terrible: "Planet Poof" gave us Jeremy, a monstrous multi-eyed tentacled creature. There's also his cranky sister, Heather.
• Food-Based Superpowers: In "Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad", Timmy wishes for his parents to become superheroes. One of Dyno Dad's powers is "meat vision", which allows him to produce various meat products via Eye Beams.
• Foe-Tossing Charge: "Timvisible" has Francis do this to get to Timmy, running down a hallway while punching everyone in his path into orbit.
• Foo Fu:
  • Teeth Fu in "Shiny Teeth". (Chip Skylark's teeth blind his opponent.)
  • The Sandman Fairy practices Sleep Fu, which appropriately can put his opponents to sleep.
• Foregone Conclusion:
  • No matter what, one day Timmy will be too old to have Cosmo and Wanda, and they will go away and he will forget everything about them, and make all the same mistakes his parents did that made him miserable as a kid.
  • Referenced in a very intriguing "plot-important" episode: As it turns out, Timmy secretly wished for the rest of humanity and himself to stop aging so he could keep his fairy godparents forever. When this wish is revealed, it turns out to have been active for over 50 years! Though it's still impossible for Timmy to have known about his future (at least it hasn't been shown on-screen), it almost seems like Timmy made that wish to avoid this Foregone Conclusion).
• Foreshadowing: Timmy's various conflicts with Princess Mandie never use the "can't interfere with true love" rule as an obstacle. It's later revealed that Mandie's obsession with marrying Mark doesn't stem from any kind of feelings for him — even twisted ones — but a desire to use him to take over Yugopotamia.
• Forgot About His Powers: Played for laughs in "Escape from Unwish Island", when Wanda reminds Timmy that he asked for heat vision in an earlier episode and never wished the ability away, so he had the superpower all along but never remembered to use it.
• Forgotten Anniversary: Cosmo believes Wanda is angry at him for no reason and has forgotten their anniversary (which he believed was the 'Styrofoam anniversary'). Turns out, it was the False Anger Anniversary (once every some odd years and was ironically on the SAME day as said anniversary Cosmo planned) and Wanda had remembered, but it's too late - he's gone home to his mom. They work it out anyway, only for Cosmo to forget it was their anniversary at the end of the episode.
• Forgotten Birthday: Timmy's... every year, by his own parents. Eventually he stops minding because he realizes more birthdays means growing up and eventually having to give up Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof.
  • Special mention to the episode where he forgets his OWN birthday is a day later... The next day might not even be his birthday, on the account that his parents didn't seem that sure either, forgetting his name as they tell him.
  Mrs. Turner: "We'd never forget your birthday, Tommy."
  • What's really sad is that in the episode "Birthday Bashed", it's shown that Vicky actually remembers Timmy's birthday better than his own parents (she even give him a piece of cake, granted it's right before she straps him to a rocket.)
    • In one scene Mr. Turner even says "Why would we throw a party for you?" Just cold.
• Forgotten Phlebotinum: A lot of things Timmy wishes for.
  • Arguably, Cosmo and Wanda themselves at times. Justified by Timmy being... not very bright. The show would be much shorter if Timmy made intelligent use of his wishes.
• For Halloween, I Am Going as Myself: Halloween night is the one time of the year that fairies are able to roam in the open without breaking The Masquerade, as everyone assumes they're just kids in costumes. Even though they're still floating three feet off the ground.
• For the Evulz: The anti-fairies don't have a goal in mind, they just cause mischief and suffering for the fun of it. Once Foop was introduced, this trope was played completely straight with him, most plans of his not really to take over the world, merely because he just wanted people not to be happy, especially the Turners and Cosmo, Wanda and Poof.
• Four-Fingered Hands: Lampshaded by Juadissimo in one episode and actually mildly averted in the No-Dialogue Episode Pipe Down.
• Four Is Death: #4 on Crocker's list of things to do after becoming half a cheese man in the half day episode was "Destroy Timmy Turner" with a skull drawn next to it.
• Fractured Fairy Tale: "Fairly Odd Fairy Tales" has three - Cosmorella, The Three Little Fairies and Snow Wanda and the Seven Fairies.
• "Freaky Friday" Flip: Timmy wishes to be a fairy, while Cosmo and Wanda become color-coded twin versions of him.
• Freudian Excuse: The reason fairies started taking in godchildren was because no fairy babies had been born in 1,000 years, which of course left Cosmo and Wanda without children.
• Friendly Enemy: Juandissimo, especially since he's in love with Wanda.
• Friends Turned Romantic Rivals: In the episode "Love Triangle", Poof and Foop are just beginning to move past their animosity and become friends over a mutual dislike of theater, when new student, Goldie Goldenglow arrives. The two of them are instantly smitten, and Foop declares, "Friendship over, I saw her first!" and they begin fighting for her attention.
• Friend Versus Lover: The premise of the Live-Action movie. Timmy's finally in love with Tootie, but he can't act on it, as it would cause him to be too grown up to keep Cosmo and Wanda.
• Frozen Body Fluids: In one episode, Timmy and Vicky get trapped in a snow cave on a mountain, and whenever Vicky cries her tears come out as ice cubes.
• Fun-Hating Confiscating Adult:
  • Mr. Crocker has an extensive knowledge of The Crimson Chin because of how many comic books he's confiscated over the years.
  • There's another teacher who confiscated one of the wands, and said it would be given back at the end of the semester.
  • Dr. Bender, the mean dentist, is also a Confiscator. Any toy that ends up in his yard, he gives to his son Wendell as a present. But Timmy's mother took him on to get Timmy's ball back.
• Funny Background Event: When Wanda tells Timmy what a great cook she is in Foodfight, Poof and Cosmo immediately discard the food that they were eating.
• Funny Foreigner: Sanjay is apparently Indian, but the only real indication we get of this is his name, his funny accent, and his weird mannerisms.
• Future Badass: in Channel Chasers ' Bad Future the future version of Timmy is a fighter in the anti-Vicky resistance. Timmy is suitably impressed when they meet. The same goes for Chester and A.J., as we see in the action-packed opening sequence. And of course Vicky, who rules the Bad Future.
• Future Loser: in The Big Problem, Timmy wishes himself into an adult. He ends up a hairy, balding, paunchy, middle-aged man with the mannerisms of a 10-year-old, universally described as "creepy" by everyone around him.

G

• Gadgeteer Genius: A.J. He's built his own secret lab, has a variety of cool gadgets from functioning lasers to his own satelites, and has even cloned himself.
• Galactic Conqueror: Princess Mandie intends to become this: her marriage to Mark will give her access to Yugopotamia's army which, combined with that of her home planet, will be powerful enough to take over the galaxy. This gives Timmy extra incentive to make sure the marriage doesn't happen.
• Gambit Pileup: Deftly parodied in "Remy Rides Again".
  Timmy: So Jorgen plotted to have Wandissimo plot to have Remy plot to have me lose my godparents.
  Cosmo: Not so fast!
  Wanda: Don't tell me you were behind this whole thing?
  Cosmo: What? No. I said "not so fast". I can't understand any of this. Which one is Remy again?
• Game Night Fight: In "Pipe Down", Timmy gets pulled away by his Dad to play charades with the Dinkleburgs, with the Dad bragging about his charades trophies and stating they couldn't possibly lose. One Gilligan Cut later (with the time being 1.25 seconds), Dad is furious at his son after the Dinkleburgs win and take his trophies. Timmy gets promptly sent to his room.
• Garrulous Growth: Bob the Boil is a large boil on Elmer's face. Bob is sentient and can talk. His biggest wish is to take over the world. He has control over Elmer, which he also considers his best friend.
• Gender Bender: Timmy in The Boy Who Would Be Queen going under the name 'Timantha'.
• Gender-Bender Friendship: Timmy and Trixie in that same episode.
• Generation Xerox: At the end of the special "Channel Chasers", the future in twenty years is shown along with Timmy and Tootie's kids. Not only do they closely resemble their parents (aside from swapped hair color), but also, like Timmy, they were tormented by their babysitter enough to receive Cosmo and Wanda as their fairy godparents.
• Genie in a Bottle: Norm—and he wants to get out of it.
• Genre Savvy: Timmy in "The Big Bash". In Cupid's Scavenger Hunt, Remy beats Timmy by snatching the jewels from an Incan temple. Timmy immediately realises Remy didn't steal the real treasure - because he didn't trigger any booby traps.
• Geographic Flexibility: Dimmsdale seems to border the ocean, a desert, and snow-capped mountains. Fairy Idol would go on to show that Dimmsdale is actually in southern California. This sort of justifies all 3 environments if you take into account that it's never shown exactly how far anyone ever travels to reach these areas.
  • In other episodes, Dimmsdale is shown to be in Northern California. If this is the case, then this is actually correct because there ARE mountains in California and ironically they're not far from the beach. Uncertain about the desert, though.
    • The southwestern extremes of the Great Basin Desert are within easy driving distance, but it doesn't resemble the deserts seen on the show. There are plenty of cattle sculls, but no saguaros.
  • In the episode "Meet the Oddparents", Jorgen invokes his authority from the city of Whittier, California while erasing Timmy's Parents' memories. Whittier is just south-east of Los Angeles and part of Southern California. It's not much of a stretch to say that Dimmsdale is around this area with all the geographically diverse areas around it.
• Giant Medical Syringe: In "Chicken Poofs", Poof gets the titular sickness and runs off when Dr. Rip Studwell presents the cure in the form of a needle as big as the doctor himself. Studwell breaks the syringe while chasing after Poof, so he and Wanda have to travel to a jungle in Fairy World to get a flower for more. Wanda gets fed up when not only does it turn out that the humiliating trip into the jungle was pointless because Studwell just uses the flower to get a 20% discount for a pre-made serum at the pharmacy, but the syringe is merely a dispenser to pour the medicine into a cup.
• Girls Love Chocolate: Wanda has been shown to love chocolate on several occasions. Specifically:
  • In "Where's Wanda?", Cosmo has been revealed to have hidden Wanda in Chocolate City, Utah. This results in her being put on Level 14 probation.
  • In "Just Desserts", Timmy keeps reminding Wanda of chocolate. This gets her to approve his "All the food in the world is dessert" wish.
  • At the beginning of "Fairy Idol", Norm the Genie bribes Wanda with a hunky chocolate bar (that is, a giant candy bar shaped like an attractive and muscular man) as part of his plan to get Cosmo and Wanda to quit being Timmy's fairy godparents.
• Girl Next Door: Vicky's sister, Tootie mixes this with Stalker with a Crush. In Merry Wishmas, she lived next door to Timmy in the spot Dinkleberg's house normally occupies. This is even more apparent in the live action movie.
• Girlish Pigtails: Tootie has pigtails to emphasize being Vicky's younger sister.
• Girls vs. Boys Plot: In Love Struck!, Timmy made a wish that segregated the sexes in their own society with a wall between them. But when the opposite sexes feel absent of something, Timmy wished for a wall that segregate them to break... except because they were separate for so long that they went into war with each other. It took assistance from Cupid, who's literally dying from no love, to make things right.
• Glass-Shattering Sound: In "Chip Off The Old Chip", a Running Gag involves Timmy's attempts at singing being bad enough to cause glass to shatter, and Chip Skylark's heavenly singing voice fixing the broken glass.
• Glasses Pull: Parodied with Dr. Rip Studwell, who compulsively does this about once every other line of dialogue.
• Go-Karting with Bowser: The Fairly Oddlympics has sporting events between the fairies, the Anti-Fairies and the Pixies.
• Gone Horribly Right: Verbatim quoted by Norm in his "So you got yourself a Genie!" DVD he shows to the Major.
• Gorn: Never shown outright, but implied in the Timmy-Jimmy Power Hour; the game "Decimator" is rated Triple-G, that is, Gratuitous Gutwrenching Gorefest.
• Good Angel, Bad Angel: "Summer Bummer" uses a secular variant where Chloe has two miniature versions of herself argue over whether she should grow up or continue enjoying being a kid while she still can.
• Good Behavior Points:
  • In the episode "No Substitute for Crazy!", substitute teacher Ms. Sunshine gives her students gold stars for the simplest tasks, like answering questions (whether they be right or wrong) and going to the bathroom (Timmy even keeps a full pitcher of water on his desk so he can earn more stars). Ms. Sunshine is then revealed to be an evil fairy hunter named Ms. Doombringer, and the gold stars turn out to be magic-detecting devices that she planted to see which children had fairies.
  • "Playdate of Doom" shows Poof to have a huge amount of gold stars his parents have rewarded his good behavior for. Foop gets all of them taken away by pretending Poof is picking on him.
• Good Is Not Nice: Jorgen Von Strangle. Even though he is usually a good guy and enforces Da Rulez (the fairy laws) to the letter, he still gets kicks out of causing people (usually Binkie) pain and threatening violence, following his Drill Sergeant Nasty stereotype. He has backed off from it somewhat in recent seasons after marrying the Tooth Fairy.
• A Good, Old-Fashioned Paint Watching: In "Viral Vidiots", Cosmo posts a video of him watching paint dry (although he gets frustrated and starts yelling at it to dry faster and pounding on the wall). He thinks the video has 1 million hits because people like watching paint dry. Actually, they like seeing the wall collapse on Cosmo.
• Good Parents: After being humiliated in front of a nationwide audience on a television program called ''The Bad Parent Hunter'', Mr. and Mrs. Turner decide to be this in the episode, Nega Timmy. Unfortunately, ''their'' definition of this trope is "bossier and more overbearing", prompting Timmy to make a wish to do the opposite of what he's told.
• Good-Times Montage:
  • One occurs in "Shelf Life" as Timmy spends his whole summer having fun instead of writing the mandatory 500-page book report Mr. Crocker assigned.
  • Another In "Just the Two of Us!" as Timmy and Trixie spend time with each other as the only two people on earth.
  • "Love Struck" features one between the male "Himsdale" citizens of the split Earth planet set to the song "Great to Be a Guy".
• Goo Goo Getup: In "Spellementary School", Cosmo and Wanda make Timmy dress as a baby when they're having trouble adjusting to Poof being away on his first day of school.
• Gosh Dang It to Heck!: You can't curse on Nickelodeon.
  Dark Laser: CURSES! Flipsy, I'm sorry you had to hear that.
  • The FCC will hunt you down for saying certain words in certain forms of media.
    Timmy: Hey! You can't say "moron" on the radio! You can only say it on TV!
  • Norm the Genie has used "Fez" and "Smoof" as cursewords.
  • Mark Chang has used FLARG.
• Grand Theft Me: Rare heroic - ahem - example in "Presto Change-O", when Timmy causes a complete swapping chaos to stop Crocker.
• Gratuitous Disco Sequence:
  70s Jorgen von Strangle: ...disco?
  Present-day Jorgen: With myself?
  Both: OUTRAGEOUS! [they magically conjure up a disco dance floor, complete with mirror ball, and begin to dance]
• Gratuitous Foreign Language: Mrs. Turner hails a Russian submarine.
• Gratuitous Ninja: Action Packed, where Timmy fights ninjas after wishing the world was like an action movie. Also, the ninja bunnies from one of his VR games.
• Green Gators: The sewer gator in "Ruled Out" is light green.
• Green-Skinned Space Babe: Princess Mandie (she's really yellow).
• Greens Precede Sweets: In "Just Desserts", Timmy destroys all the vegetables his parents gave him while they aren't looking thinking that he'll get dessert next. His parents just give him carrots for dessert, but they try to manipulate him into eating it by telling him that it's carrot cake without the cake.
• Gross-Up Close-Up:
  • "Boys in the Band" shows sickeningly detailed close-ups of Chip Skylark's yellow teeth and unkempt hair when his appearance deteriorates over his distress at the thought of disappointing his fans.
  • Cosmo, Timmy and Wanda are given close-ups of the shriveling deformities they obtain from going without sleep in "Beddy Bye".
  • "The Fairly Oddlympics" has a shot that zooms in on Anti-Cosmo and Head Pixie's faces when they are Disguised in Drag.
  • There are disgusting close-ups of Timmy's liver sports when he discovers he's aged 50 years in "Timmy's Secret Wish".
  • "The Wand That Got Away" features a grotesque close-up of Crocker's mother's face.
  • A zoom-in on the acne-ridden face of King Neptuna's son Gary is shown in "Dadlantis".
  • "Chloe Rules!" has a scene where a disgusting close-up of Crocker's mother's foot is shown.
• Groupie Brigade: This trope is a one-off joke in the episode "Dadbra-Cadabra". After Mr. Turner's magic act is a huge success, he is followed home by a huge mob of screaming fangirls who try to barge into the Turners' house by breaking into a window. Luckily, Mrs. Turner is able to stop them by boarding them up.
• Growing Up Sucks: Timmy will eventually lose Cosmo and Wanda. It is revealed that he tried to avert this in Timmy's Secret Wish by wishing that everyone on Earth stayed the same age so he could keep them forever. A wish he made 50 YEARS AGO without anybody knowing.
• Guilt-Induced Nightmare: In "Dream Goat", Timmy wishes that the mayor's goat Chompy was free upon seeing how depressed and lonely he is, and Vicky is given the blame as the "goat-napper" and Timmy is hailed as a hero. He eventually begins to feel guilty from letting Vicky take the blame for sending Chompy away, and starts wishing in his sleep as a result. The dream wishing stops once he finally tells the truth.

H

• Hahaha No: Timmy's reaction to Jorgen's "dragon" pun in 'The Fairy World Games' is to laugh before commenting how terrible the pun is.
• Hair-Trigger Explosive: In one episode, Timmy's Dad rubs 2 sticks of dynamite together trying to make a fire. The sticks explode instead.
• Half-Human Hybrid: Francis becomes part-bull in The Big Superhero Wish, Vicky in Timmy the Barbarian becomes a harpy-woman.
• Halloween Songs: The Halloween Special "Scary Godparents" features the song "Real and Scary", a song that encapsulates Timmy's wish to make it the best Halloween ever by turning everyone into whatever they are dressed as.
• Hamster-Wheel Power: To keep the power on while Timmy is stuck in a video game in "Power Mad", Cosmo in mouse form runs on a treadmill with a steak hanging at the end to supply energy to the television.
• Hand Wave: Many fans question why Timmy could never just wish that Vicky was a nicer person, and it was eventually explained that her nastiness would have to go somewhere else.
  • Also, wishing that she got fired would result in her becoming the mayor and eventually an evil overlord, ruling the world - just because she wouldn't babysit him.
  • Part of the reason that Timmy even has fairies is thanks to Vicky.
  • And when Vicky DID get nicer, of course it backfires on Timmy, cause he's Timmy.
• Haplessly Hiding: There was a joke where a character arrived from elsewhere and hid in the dumpster when the police pulls over, only to bump his head on the lid and get trapped in the dumpster when the cops decide to sit on the dumpster to eat their donuts and drink coffee for as long as they want. The guy inside eventually gets out.
• Happiness Is Mandatory: A policy of Mr. Turner when he becomes a dictator in "Father Time" is that everyone has to smile all the time.
• Happily Married: Cosmo and Wanda, Mr. and Mrs. Turner, Jorgen and the Tooth Fairy are all loving married couples depending on the episode.
• Harmless Villain:
  • The Copper Cranium in the Crimson Chin webisodes is defeated effortlessly.
  • Zigzagged with Shirley, a synthetic villain that Jimmy and Timmy come up with in their crossover "The Jerkinators". He's all powerful...and his first act of evil is that he "steals" Timmys nose. Jimmy and Timmy trample on his feelings to make him really evil. It works.
• Hartman Hips: Timmy's Mom and the Tooth Fairy, among others, have wide hips. It's the Trope Namer.
• Heel–Face Turn:
  • Mark is a recurring antagonist at first, but only because he and Timmy are at loggerheads over Vicky. They ultimately come to an agreement in Mark's second appearance, and they're friends from thereafter.
  • The Darkness in Wishology is revealed to have never been truly evil, just scary and misunderstood. Once it's treated with kindness, it's no longer a threat.
• Heh Heh, You Said "X": Timmy's Dad laughs at Chloe for saying "duty" and "behind" in "Girly Squirrely".
• Held Back in School: Francis is 12 and still in Fifth Grade. It's implied that at least one of his missed years is due to serving hard time.
• Hell-Bent for Leather: The Lead Eliminator picks up a leather jacket to distinguish himself from the others, as well as directly reference The Terminator.
• Henpecked Husband: Jorgen. For all of his power, muscles, and drill sargeant demeanor, the Tooth Fairy has no difficulty keeping him in line.
• Hero Insurance: Subverted in Catman's case. He thinks this is the case, because he's deluded into thinking he's actually he hero he portrayed on TV, but he's actually just a whack-job in a costume who ends up being committed for his antics.
• Hero with Bad Publicity: Catman. His bad publicity is earned, mind you, but in the balance he does more harm than good due to overtly heroic impulses.
• Heroic Sacrifice:
  • Timmy and Jorgen in Wishology.
  • Timmy also wishes himself out of existence in It's a Wishful Life (which was fortunately a Secret Test of Character)
• Heroic Wannabe: Catman. He desperately wants to be the hero he acted as for years. To his credit, he does rise to the occasion when he gets the opportunity.
• Hey, You!: Both Timmy's parents lack actual names. His dad even introduces himself in one episode with My name is Timmy's father.
  • Whenever their actual names are about to be mentioned, normally something to drown it out such as a truck going by appears. Otherwise they are just referred to as Timmy's dad/mom, Mr./ Mrs. Turner, or, even in their childhood, "Mom" or "Dad".
• Hidden Depths: Mr. Crocker's past was explored in depth in the special episode The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker, which revealed most importantly that Mr. Crocker not only had fairies himself in his childhood, but he had Cosmo and Wanda, and was quite sane and similar to Timmy at age 10. Most later episodes support this fact, but exactly which fairies Crocker had are contradicted.
  • Later on, it's revealed Crocker also had Sparky, whom he planted a chip in to find Cosmo and Wanda when they were taken away from him, even though he forgot he had them in the first place, due to his memory being wiped.
• Hidden Heart of Gold: Trixie's Alpha Bitch tenancies are implied to be a facade, as shown in "The Boy Who Would Be Queen". She lets her guard down when her friends are not around.
• Hilariously Abusive Childhood: Timmy Turner's childhood IS THIS. It doesn't get any worse to have your youth mired by neglectful parents who would rather spend time away from the house doing whatever the hell they want while leaving you under the care of a psychotic babysitter who constantly tortures and orders you around.
• Hillbilly Incest: In "Whittle Me This", Timmy mentions that hillbillies are cool due to several reasons, including that they can take their cousins to the prom.
• Historical In-Joke: One of Cosmo and Wanda's previous godchildren used their magic to kill Archduke Ferdinand. Considering the unlikely circumstances around it that would have almost (but didn't) averted his assassination, some historians might even consider magic to be an apt explanation for it.
• Historical Rap Sheet:
  • In an early episode it's revealed that once every few millennia fairies have to be evil for 24 hours, maybe referencing the "Terrible Twos" Poof had. During Wanda's stint she killed the dinosaurs.
  • Though not villainous in intent, Cosmo accidentally sank Atlantis (a consecutive 9 times), destroyed Pompeii, and transformed Xanadu into Pittsburgh.This may be blamed by his growing stupidity though.
• Hockey Mask and Chainsaw: In "The Big Fairy Share Scare!", Chloe's wish that everyone in Dimmsdale should want to share causes Vicky to give her chainsaw to a hulking brute in a hockey mask who proceeds to wreak havoc.
• Hoist by His Own Petard:
  • Evil Jorgen in "Action Packed", in which he's absorbed so much magic that he's swollen with HUGE muscles...and is promptly attacked by his cat Mr. Tuliptoes, and he can't reach up to get him off, because his muscles are too huge, allowing Timmy to gain the upper hand.
  • A brilliant one is seen in 'School's Out: The Musical'. The Pixies had a 37-year plan involving Flappy Bob to become a lawyer and signing a contract to make the world fun as Flappy Bob defined it, which makes the world quite far from fun since he was raised by the Pixies to be a boring adult lawyer overly concerned with education and safety. Unfortunately, this is backfired on them because Flappy Bob—having the skills of a brilliant lawyer—found a loophole in the contract to make the world safe 'as defined by him'. Now tell me, who raised Flappy Bob to become a lawyer?
  • Foop's debut episode "Anti-Poof" has him refuse to take a nap, which proves to be his undoing when Poof puts an end to his rampage by making him too drowsy to stay awake.
  • Another particularly notable example is in the "Timmy's Secret Wish" special; just when it seems Timmy would be found not guilty, Foop provided a final piece of evidence, the titular secret wish, that sealed his guilty fate, with Cosmo and Wanda being taken away and all their wishes, and products resulting from them, disappearing to an isolated island, never to return. Foop apparently didn't realize that Timmy wished for Poof, and since he'd disappear, and no Anti-Fairy could exist without their regular version, he would disappear too.
• Hollywood Board Games:
  • "Imaginary Gary": Timmy wants to play Surgeon General (aka Operation) with his parents now that he's finally old enough for it. Also, his are just waiting for his mother's pie to bake, so he thinks it should be a good opportunity to spend quality time. Displaying their usual neglectful selves, Mom and Dad would rather stare at the oven and cheer the pie. Timmy wishes for his imaginary friend to be real so they can play Surgeon General together. Sadly, Gary regards the game as uncool — it's implied that he prefers to play with LEGOs. In the climax, it's revealed that since Gary is physically a 5-year-old, the game scares him.
  • "Cosmo Rules": What kind of game would the nastiest and true toughest fairy in the universe enjoy? Explosive Bingo, of course, where every time someone completes their card and shouts "Bingo!", they explode. It's even in her name! Nana Boom Boom Von Strangle, the grandmother of Jorgen, who is The Ahnold and shares a Strong Family Resemblance with her. Nana likes the Explosive Bingo so much, she won't abandon a game even to go enforce Da Rules when her grandson is ill. Funnily enough, she's seen playing it with other, non-muscly, elderly fairy ladies.
  • "Cosmonopoly": Cosmo regards the day he met Wanda as the best day of his immortal life, so, in his off-screen free time, he unwittingly creates a board game based on it. He was bored and didn't realize until it was finished that it was about that particular day. The game is modeled after Monopoly, with spotted white mice as dice and cards with punishments. The board contains locations that Cosmo visited in his daily life, such as the laundromat, and has the place he and Wanda met as the final destination. Wanda finds it very sweet and shows him some Cardiovascular Love for his efforts.
• Hollywood Tone-Deaf: "Chip Off the Old Chip" reveals that Timmy can't sing, and borrows Chip Skylark's voice just to be in the play with Trixie. Now Chip uses Timmy's voice and can't even sing "The Star-Spangled Banner".
• Hollywood Voodoo: Timmy wishes for voodoo dolls in "You Doo", and Tootie gets a hold of one of them.
• Homemade Inventions: Mr. Turner's pastime is making devices out of whatever he can find lying around.
• Honesty Aesop: In "Dream Goat", Timmy releases Dimmsdale's mascot Chompy and frames Vicky for the deed, causing him much guilt throughout the episode. This escalates to the point where he wishes for a giant monster that won't go away until he tells the truth about Chompy.
• Horror Host: "Dimmsdale Tales" is a horror anthology sendup with the framing device taking place at a Squirrely Scouts camping trip at night, with Timmy serving as the scary stories' narrator.
• Horrifying the Horror: "Who gives ghosts and ghouls a fright? Who gives Dracula a bite?" (Icky Vicky, of course. Chip Skylark's grandpa Chippington sung it way back in time.)
• Hot Teacher:
  • Ms. Doombringer has two awesome outfits and she's possibly Timmy's most attractive teacher.
  • Mrs. Powers, Poof and Foop's teacher, is very attractive and has a beautiful green dress.
  • The school's Spanish teacher from the episode Timvisible is stunning in contrast to the rest of the faculty.
  • Vicky is this in the live action sequel when she starts teaching.
• Housewife: Mrs. Turner has no job, although in the earlier seasons she was portrayed as real estate agent.
• How Is That Even Possible?: In one episode, Cosmo and Wanda are in their fish forms and Cosmo is trying to light candles inside the fishbowl in spite of the water. When Cosmo actually manages to do it, Timmy shows up to ask what's new and Wanda answers "The laws of physics".
• Human Shield: In Transparents
  Chester: [holding AJ who's covered in milk] You said 'take cover'.
• Hurricane of Puns: "Cheese & Crockers" has a lot of cheesy puns, and Crocker feels obliged to point out every one that he makes.
• Hypnotic Eyes:
  • The eponymous Super Bike uses these on Timmy to keep him all to himself. It stops working when he tries to tell him his father doesn't love him.
  • The Gigglepies in "So Totally Spaced Out" use these on Cosmo and Wanda.
  • The eponymous "Fair Bears" use these on Timmy, Chloe, Cosmo and Wanda when being lulled into a nap.

I

• I Ate WHAT?!: In "This Is Your Wish", Timmy is offered what he's told is chocolate pudding. Timmy does ask the waiter which room he came out of (the kitchen or the bathroom) and the waiter hesitates to answer, but it isn't until Billy Crystal Ball breaks it to Timmy that he learns what he was really served with.
  Billy Crystal Ball: [reveals himself] I'm not really a waiter. And that's not really pudding.
  Timmy: [spits out the "pudding"]
• I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin!: "Just Desserts". Wanda has a severe sugar problem. (And soon, everybody has, sort of a Sugar Bullet Time.)
• Identical Stranger: The Turnbahms are dead ringers for the Turners. This causes some problems, as the Turners are arrested by the Canadian police due to a case of mistaken identity.
• Idiot Hero: Timmy isn't very bright and quite a few of the problems he gets himself into are because of making wishes that sound like good ideas without taking the time to think the wishes through and make sure there aren't any unpleasant outcomes that could occur after the wish is granted.
• Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: According to the title cards, nearly every episode is titled "The Fairly OddParents in: [Episode Name]", with the only exceptions being the pilot short (titled simply "The Fairly OddParents") and some of the specials.
• I Fell for Hours: More like 400 years in "Which Which is Witch", when selfsame witch comes out of the well again when Timmy is back in his own time. (Or was it the climbing up that took so long?)
• If I Can't Have You…:
  • Super Bike, in his eponymous episode, is murderously possessive of Timmy, to the point of saying the trope word-for-word when he realizes Timmy is trying to take him apart.
  • Trixie becomes this in Just The Two of Us. Due to being literally the last people in the world, Trixie is driven insane and obsessed with Timmy's attention. So much so that when he tries to break up with her, she actively tries to kill him in retaliation.
• The Igor: Dr. Snipowitz' final appearance in "Open Wide and Say Aaagh!", where Vicky tries to get him to perform a "twerpectomy" on Timmy, has a hunchback named Igor appear as his assistant. He even says "yes, master".
• Imaginary Friend: Gary was Timmy's imaginary friend until he apparently got rid of him in therapy at age 6. Gary is made real in Imaginary Gary and is deeply resentful of being locked away in Timmy's subconscious for 4 years.
• Immortal Procreation Clause: Fairies apparently have lifespans of thousands of years to forever. Poof and Cosmo are the youngest fairies, with Cosmo being (at least) ten thousand years old. A law forbidding fairies from procreating is in place specifically because of how dangerous Cosmo was in his babyhood.
• Impossible Thief: Dr. Bender in Shiny Teeth manages to steal Chip Skylark's teeth as if they were dentures.
• Impossibly Cool Clothes: The Crimson Chin
• Improbably Predictable: This takes place when Timmy wishes his parents had superpowers, then when he finds they are too busy with fighting evil that they can't take care of him, and wishes that they weren't superheroes, but Cosmo's and Wanda's wands don't work:
  Timmy: Let me guess,
  Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda: They've become so powerful that they are now impervious to magic.
• Improvised Clothes: In "Shiny Teeth", Chip Skylark's arch rival Skip Sparkypants gets de-pant-sed by Cosmo and Wanda and has to don a rare case of a non-bankrupt Bankruptcy Barrel.
• Inconvenient Summons: When Norm gave Timmy a lawyer, the lawyer was playing poker. Norm himself is often a victim of this.
• Incredible Shrinking Man: Tiny Timmy and the episode "Boy Toy" where Timmy shrinks down to the size of an action figure. Much of the plot is reminiscent of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
  • Mandie also uses a shrink ray to shrink the fairies so they can't help Timmy when she marries Mark.
• Indestructibility Montage: In "Boy Toy", Vicky gets a hold of Timmy's Crimson Chin action figure and aims to destroy it, but Timmy thinks fast and wishes for his fairies to make it indestructible. This results in Vicky using increasingly violent (and fruitless) methods to destroy it, with the Chin suffering nary a scratch.
  Vicky: Why won't this stupid toy BREEEEAK?!
• Inept Talent Show Contestant: Timmy's homemade, crappy film is recognized as a great comedy (though it wasn't intended as such) in "Movie Magic".
• Individuality Is Illegal:
  • The pixies are an entire race who believe this, and are trying to force it on Fairy World and Earth. When they succeed in School's Out! The Musical, they end up chained down Binky when he tried to fly.
  • In "The Same Game", when Timmy wishes that everyone in the world looked the same, he finds himself nearly torn apart when he changes his outer appearance.
  • In the Oh Yeah! Cartoons short "The Temp", Jeff the Elf is dragged back to the North Pole by Santa, who has several elves mindlessly telling him to "Be one of us!", heavily implying this applies to elves.
• Inescapable Net: Fairies lose their powers if caught in a butterfly net.
• Informed Flaw: Tootie is said to stalk Timmy, but this angle has never been elaborated beyond minor gags nor caused Timmy any major plot problems.
  • In one episode Timmy is shown to have a restraining order against her, but as he notes it 'has expired' so it's not in use anymore.
• Inherently Funny Words: In "Fool's Day Out", Wanda proves every word is funny to Cosmo. "Pudding!"
• Ink-Suit Actor: Chip Skylark, Mr.Turner and Norm the Genie respectively resemble animated versions of Chris Kirkpatrick, Daran Norris and Norm Macdonald.
• Insane Troll Logic: In "Dad Overboard", Mr. Turner believes that he can't get a boat to sail his family away from the deserted island unless he builds a boat shop. When Timmy asks if it wouldn't be easier to just build a boat, Mr. Turner's response is that it's like how it would be easier to count to seven if it came before five and that life just isn't that simple.
• Insists on Being Suspected: In "Where's Wanda?", when Timmy's school project wins first prize at a movie night contest at school, Wanda gets stolen, and Timmy suspects one of his classmates, Francis, A.J., or Trixie, to have stolen her. When he says that he doesn't suspect his own father to have stolen Wanda, Mr. Turner asks Timmy why he can't be a suspect, and lists a series of minor felonies he did, such as ripping the tags off of mattresses, and jaywalking.
• Instant Awesome: Just Add Mecha!: The Switch Glitch has a de-aged Vicky pilot a giant robot in the image of her normal teenage self after Cosmo and Wanda become her godparents.
• Intentional Mess Making: In the episode, "Tiny Timmy", Vicky is left in charge of looking after both Timmy and a Priceless Ming Vase worth $50,000.00. When Timmy explores the inside of Vicky's body in the Shrink Suit that Cosmo and Wanda made for him, Vicky accidentally breaks the vase when she rushes to the bathroom after one of the germs inside her triggers her gag reflex. Upon seeing the broken vase, Vicky decides to blame Timmy, then invites her friends over for a party to trash Timmy's house even further. Timmy eventually makes his way into Vicky's brain, and finds out that Vicky's emotions are controlled by little people in chairs, one of which, Kindness, never showed up for work. Timmy turns on the machine himself, making Vicky a kind and caring person as a result, so she can clean the house before his parents get back. When Timmy notices the vase is still broken after the house is cleaned, he wishes it fixed just in time. When he accidentally breaks it, it is revealed that his parents only bought the vase for one dollar from the internet, and insured it for $50,000.
• Interclass Friendship: Lower-class Chester, who lives in a trailer park, is best friends with upper-middle class A.J. and middle-class Timmy.
• Interspecies Romance:
  • Several times Cosmo has shown attraction to humans. The episode Truth or Cosmoquences suggests fairies don't have any trouble with that since Cosmo pretended to be married to Britney Britney and no fairy had anything to say against the idea of a fairy marrying a human.
  • Mark Chang is a Yugopotamian with a huge crush on human Vicky.
  • In one episode, Foop (an anti-fairy) develops a crush on Vicky (a human) also.
• Intra-Franchise Crossover: In the episode "The Crimson Chin meets Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad", The Crimson Chin meets several wildly different versions of his Era-Specific Personality, from the 30s pulp-fiction Chin, to the "super-edgy" 1985 Chin, who got cancelled for swearing.
• Invented Invalid: In "Snow Bound", Timmy's mother calls in saying that she has to visit a sick aunt, whose name she invents on the spot. She does this along with the mothers of Timmy's other friends so they can go on a relaxing ski retreat alone.

• Ironic Echo Cut: Used frequently
• Is This Thing Still On?: Clean-O-Bot Transformer lets slip his world domination plans while in truck mode in "Beddy Bye".
• It's a Wonderful Plot: Cruelly subverted in "It's A Wishful Life" as a test given by Von Strangle, where Timmy is shown the world being a better place if he never existed.
• It's Quiet… Too Quiet: Said in "Action Packed", and as the first line in "Super Bike".
• It Will Never Catch On: In "Turner Back Time", it was revealed one of Timmy's ancestors (Ebenezer Turner) could have become a railroad tycoon but refused because he thought trains would be just a fad. The job was taken by Remy's ancestor Orville Buxaplenty.
• I Want My Mommy!: Inverted in "Dimmesdale Tales". Timmy's story ends with Crocker on a plane full of Mrs. Crockers, with the Sadist Teacher screaming "I don't want my mommy!"

J

• Jackass Genie: Norm the Genie. He doesn't even try to pretend to give Timmy what he wants straightforwardly. Even when Timmy tries (and fails) to word his wishes more concretely, Norm just warps the wishes even more (e.g. granted his wish for Trixie Tang to love Timmy Turner so that Trixie loves everyone else on the planet named Timmy Turner). Then in his subsequent appearances, he's actively trying to kill Timmy for revenge.
• Jail Bake: Foop's debut episode "Anti-Poof" ends with the Anti-Fairy baby being locked up in a playpen-like cell in Abracatraz, where his father Anti-Cosmo gives him a cake with a file in it.
• Jekyll & Hyde: The episode "Nega-Timmy" has Timmy Turner wish that he did the opposite of what his parents told him to do. The way this wish ends up going wrong is that Mr. Turner tells his son to be good, which causes Timmy to become a fanged Enfant Terrible clad in a shroud and a top hat who then starts a plan to use a laser to cause a series of events that will lead to Dimmsdale's destruction. Nega-Timmy is only returned to normal when he gets Mr. Turner to go along with the plan by promising that Dinkleburg's house will be destroyed and Mr. Turner encourages Nega-Timmy to be as evil as he can be.
• Jerkass:
  • Vicky is a cruel babysitter and gets a real kick out of tormenting the children she is hired to watch over. Even her sister Tootie and her own parents are known to suffer her wrath.
  • Mr. Crocker is a Sadist Teacher whose obsession with proving the existence of fairies leads to him causing a lot of harm and destruction.
  • Francis is a bully who always beats the crud out of Timmy and his friends.
  • Dr. Bender is a Depraved Dentist who will sometimes not even bother coming up with an excuse to painfully remove children's teeth.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold:
  • Timmy, Depending on the Writer. He's selfish, oblivious, and inconsiderate, but he's not a bad kid all things considered. His worst tendencies are the result of not considering the consequences of his actions on others, and when the harms are pointed out to him, he'll almost always try to correct it.
  • Jorgen, for all his drill sergeant toughness and borderline abuse of every other fairy in the universe, is actually a giant softy. It's revealed that he considers Cosmo and Wanda his closest friends, and is actually quite warm to them when the situation calls for it. Also, while he's a strict disciplinarian with Da Rules, he's very fair when it comes to actually administering them, and his strictness is motivated at least in part by knowing what children can do with that kind of power if left unchecked.
• Joke of the Butt:
  • The Oh Yeah! short "Party of Three" has an example combined with Fun with Homophones where Vicky attempts to photograph Timmy fooling around in the absence of adult supervision, only for Cosmo and Wanda to use their magic to turn the photo into one of Mr. Turner in his boxer shorts. Seeing this causes Vicky to stammer "but", to which Mr. Turner responds by stating "Yes, that's my tush". Later, Timmy stammers "but" in response to hearing that his parents have decided to continue hiring Vicky as his babysitter after all, with Mr. Turner then replying "What's this fascination with my fanny?"
  • "Power Mad" has Timmy wish for a video game that features a robotic Vicky with a spiked steamroller for a rear end as the final boss, who attempts to sit on Timmy, AJ and Chester and exclaims about her "sittin' butt".
  • In "Sleepover and Over", Chester's Crimson Chin costume is shown to be able to bounce around due to having an inflatable heinie.
  • In the episode "Most Wanted Wish", Timmy wishes to be the most wanted kid on Earth, with one of the consequences being that every fairy in existence wants to be Timmy's godparent. Jorgen settles this with a Texas cage match where the rule is that any fairy who gets zapped in the butt loses. A pair of fairies with gigantic bottoms are then shown to be offended by this rule.
  • "Open Wide and Say Aaagh" has a bit where Timmy and Cosmo comment on seeing a "full moon" after being traumatized from seeing Mr. Turner in a hospital gown from the back.
• Joker Jury: Especially in Escape from Unwish Island (where Timmy is put on trial by enemies he wished away after his wishing brought them into existence in the first place), but other episodes have their own fair share.
