History Fridge / TheFairlyOddparents

* Schnozmo's existence may have caused some ContinuitySnarl, but it also provides a handy FreudianExcuse for Mama Cosma and her overprotectiveness of Cosmo--she knows that Schnozmo is a bad influence, so she tries her hardest to make sure that Cosmo (who is still [[GoodIsDumb is still relatively innocent]]) ''won't'' turn out like him. Even more plausible when you consider that Mama Cosma never mentions Schnozmo. Continuity error or does she simply consider him the BlackSheep of the family?

* Mama Cosma's dislike of Wanda always came off as a case of her being an overprotective mother. However, in "Talkin' Trash" it is revealed that Wanda's father is the boss of a mafia like trash business. Of course she didn't want her son dating Wanda, she's the daughter of a mob boss. And seeing how Big Daddy wasn't very fond of Cosmo before that episode, she had every reason to fear for her son's safety.

* In "Spellementary SChool", Foop answers the math equation 2 + 2 by saying "DEATH!" FourIsDeath, after all, so he's not technically wrong.

* Fridge Heartwarming: In one episode, Timmy decides he's had enough of his parents' doting and wish they couldn't care less about him. When this inevitably backfires in the form of turning his parents ''and'' his Godparents into apathetic, lazy slobs, Timmy ends up having to run to the sewers to retrieve his Godparents after his Dad flushes them. This is where the wish begins to falter, as his parents suddenly start worrying and chase him down to bring him home. DeusExMachina? Not quite. Remember one of the most frequently sited rule of Da Rules is that magic can't interfere with True Love. Not once is it specified to refer to ''romantic'' love alone. For as neglectful as they can be towards their son (particularly in the later episodes), it's clear that Mr. and Mrs. Turner really do love and care about Timmy, causing any magic that would contradict this to fail.
* It's implied that Cosmo and Wanda used to be godparents to Tina Turner and Bill Gates. Fairies are only assigned to unhappy kids; Bill Gates was bullied in his youth, and Tina Turner had a very troubled childhood.

** Of course the Fairy Springs Resort would have a problem with god children wishing their fairies in without reservations: Timmy is 'just an average kid', he's hardly going to be the first to think of a way to try and give their fairy godmother a present via a wish.

** Juandissimo would later be seen working at Jorgen's favorite restaurant despite his ''very'' popular job at the resort. A bit hard to keep a job when Wanda unleashes sentient roaches there. It probably shut down and her ex had to get another job.
** Timmy at one point calls the roaches 'single-minded', as opposed to Cosmo being 'empty-minded'. This is a odd phrase to describe beings who are proving to be smarter, so why not say they are being 'full-minded' or something to better contrast with Cosmo? Simple: the roaches are single-minded. They don't seem to have given a ton of thought of what will happen ''after'' they nuke the world and enact world domination. AndThenWhat was never considered.

* Before Timmy wished for Cosmo and Wanda to have Poof, it was stated that fairies were prohibited from procreation. This can mean either of the following: Fairies have since been forced into eternal celibacy, fairies have been coerced into being sterilized to prevent them from ever conceiving children again or fairies that have gotten pregnant up until Poof's birth were mandated to get an abortion whether they wanted it or not.

*** [[Administrivia/JustifyingEdit Okay,]] [[JustForFun/TheZerothLawOfTropeExamples Rules Lawyering]] [[FanWank Justification]] [[EpilepticTrees Here:]] Timmy specifically wished for Cosmo and Wanda to have their own ''baby''. Maybe Poof just grows up?

* A lot of people have pointed out Timmy's {{Jerkass}} behavior towards Cosmo, Wanda, and even the likes of Chester and AJ as the seasons have gone on. Let's think about this for a minute: another major {{Character Derailment}} has come in the form of Timmy's parents, who slowly went from being busy and overworked to providing comments such as Dad saying the only reason he gives Timmy an allowance is because calling the chores Timmy does "labor" would get him in trouble with the law, and Mom mentioning that she should "maybe...start making dinner for three" when she sees Timmy ([[ItMakesSenseInContext technically a fly with Timmy's body]]) eating from the garbage..."again." Most of this behavior is {{Played For Laughs}}, by the way. Now, combine these [[ParentalNeglect questionable]] [[AbusiveParents displays]] with the fact that most children who are abused end up becoming abusive themselves, and it all adds up to a pretty disturbing conclusion: all the times Timmy acts like a jerk to his Godparents, or even his friends, is because ''he's copying the abusive behavior his parents give him''. Combine that with Timmy's history of neglecting his pets, and that brief glimpse of ''Channel Chasers'' where [[spoiler:Future Timmy leaves his children with a Vicky-Bot while he goes to work (even though his ten-year-old self vowed "not to make the same mistakes [his] parents made")]], and you realize that there's a pretty depressing cycle going on here...
** Just a point, most people who are abused do in fact not become abusive. They have issues but are usually able to realize what happened was wrong and move on.
