You might think this is PlayedForLaughs until you realize that they were going to shove funnels up the kids mouths and then shove broccoli into the funnel maybe accidentally choking the kids.

Added DiffLines:

** It is likely that someone has wished for that, at least once. However, if what has been stated a few times above is true, then anything a godkid wishes for is unwished when they finally lose their godparents. The inability to impact the world very much (exceptions may include singular events like the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand) leads this troper to the depressing conclusion that despite having all that power, the most that fairy godparents can really do with it is brighten up a child's life (which is great and all, but in comparison there are some seriously missed opportunities here).

** In "The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker", Timmy goes back in time three times to see what is wrong with Crocker and hopefully make him nicer in the future. He goes in time three times, from seeing him starting out as a elementary school teacher, then graduating Dimmsdale college, and finally a student in elementary school. However, each of those points also shows his parents and Dinkleberg in this order; moving into their respective houses with a pregnant Mrs. Turner, Dinkleberg breaking up with his girlfriend because the people watching Crocker's presentation on FAIRY GODPARENTS liked his parachute pants instead, and Dinkleberg and Timmy's Mom being childhood friends on a swingset. If Timmy actually SUCCEEDED in having Crocker keep his fairies, then Dinkleberg wouldn't have broken up with his girlfriend, TIMMY'S MOTHER, and forced himself into non-existance. AGAIN (happened the first time in "Father Time").

But it makes perfect sense for Anti-Cosmo to do something so stupid, even if he is an evil genius... he's the ''opposite'' of Cosmo, and since Cosmo's a moron with occasional moments of brilliance, that would make Anti-Cosmo a genius with occasional moments of stupidity!

Hitler started World War 2, not World War 1. Besides, that doesn\'t make much sense. People can commit suicide for reasons other than guilt.


*** Even worse, think about this: people wipe themselves out of existence to make everyone's lives better. "Hastle in the Castle" proves two things; Hitler existed but was not the "cause of World War 1," and the real cause was a little girl named "Mary Anne." Mary Anne, as awful as she was, was not too guilty about what she did to wipe herself out of existence despite how much nicer the world would have been. That means every other kid who wiped themselves out of existence would have been worse than Mary Anne and Hitler if they were ever born. The world would be a much worse place.
*** Hitler was a trench fighter in WWI. Hardly a cause of the war. They state in the episode she "took our Archduke Ferdinand" which started WWI.

* Magic (loosely) follows laws of Physics. You see, magic wands explicitly run on some form of energy (plot point of at least 2 episodes) and anything they conjure (spacially displaced or otherwise) can't be destroyed (entire plot of Unwish Island). At the same time, an overlying theme of the series is that magic can't be used to instantly solve all your problems; in other words, ''fairies aren't omnipotent.''

** If you view Timmy's fairy godparents as hallucinations, the show suddenly becomes very depressing. Timmy is neglected by his parents, tortured and abused by his babysitter, and no one really understands him. Cosmo and Wanda could just be Timmy's only escape from the cruel outside world. And if you think about it, this theory is actually plausible because since the writers of the show need to keep everyone but Timmy from knowing about the fairies.
