* In the episode "Wish Fixers", the Head Pixie tricks Timmy to sign a contract where the only "responsible" wish would be for the Pixies to take over Fairy World. This episode is outright stated to happen after "Pixies Inc." (by cosmo, who literally [[AsYouKnow yells it to the other characters]]). So any kid, at any moment, could wish for the Pixies to take over? Shouldn't there be a rule against that? Even if you they never thought about it previously, it probably should have been discussed after they took over the first time.

* In "That's Life!", Timmy wishes for everything in his mother's garden to be alive. The wish should be undone the moment the judges come by the rule of "no cheating for winning competitions."
** The same applies for when Timmy wished for Chester to be the best baseball player ever.
*** This rule might only apply to Timmy himself, maybe cheating to help others win some is sort of loophole?
*** In response to the above: possibly yes and possibly no. In "Foul Balled" (the Chester example), Timmy's specific wish was "I wish my friend was the best baseball player ever"; Chester only lost his abilities when he declared that Timmy was no longer his friend. Of course, in this case, Timmy was on the team with Chester, so technically, helping Chester helped him win as well.
*** I always thought that it was because the wish wasn't intended to have Timmy and his team win, and Timmy didn't really care whether or not they won throughout the course of the episode, thus he wasn't being competitive. The examples of the 'competitive' condition being in play were the basketball episode [Timmy kept his skills only up until the last 2 minutes, thus when things get 'competitive' in the eyes of Da Rules], and the episode where he wished he knew everything [he used it specifically to get ahead in school, and it was nullified in the quiz-competition]. Timmy's intention behind the whole 'I want [Chester] to be the [[TheAce best baseball player ever]]' thing was for his friend's sake; it was done with the sole intention of improving Chester's situation and making his dad proud. Winning the games was just a fortunate byproduct.
*** For the first one, remember that Timmy wished for everything in his mom's garden to be full of life, ''not'' to win the competition. The plants full of life were just ''that'' good.
* You can't wish that someone were dead, but you can wish that someone [[FridgeHorror was never born.]]
** You can wish ''you'' were never born, but we don't know if that can extend to anyone else. Given Jorgen's behavior in "It's a Wishful Life", he might have left the first condition in intentionally to teach kids who make that wish a lesson(not that the lesson he was trying to teach was one Timmy needed to learn, but that's another discussion), but wishing someone else was never born would probably be forbidden for the same reason you can't wish for someone else to be dead.
* In "Father Time!", why didn't Timmy just wish that Dad's trophy was unmelted, and why didn't either of his godparents suggest that?
** [[AnthropicPrinciple Because then, we couldn't have an 11-minute episode.]]
** Wanda probably wanted Timmy to learn a lesson (hence her insistence on Timmy apologizing), [[TheDitz Cosmo]] didn't think of it, and Timmy seemed more focused on the badassery of the chosen wishes (he's about to just wish for the chores to be done when Cosmo suggests the heat vision and Timmy immediately goes for it).
* What exactly is the show's definition of "true love"? When he first appears, Vicky claims to "truly love" Chip Skylark, but as soon as she finds out he's broke and has a huge debt, she breaks up with him. That's not true love, that's gold digging, because she only wanted him for his money. So shouldn't Timmy have been able to break them up with magic?
** In "The Odd Couple", Wanda says that Timmy would have to prove that the love between Vicky and Ricky was "fake teen love" rather than true love, but if it was the former, they could "totally rip it apart". Maybe the fairies have to know for sure that it's not true love before they can break them up. In "Boys in the Band", there was no indication prior to Vicky learning of Chip's debt that she just loved him for his money, so magic couldn't be used directly.
** This makes sense, as the fairies would want to be SURE before they broke up a couple in love.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Wishology}}'' special, Jorgen was able to erase Trixie's mind of the movie's events, even though it's against ''Da Rules'' to interfere with true love.[[note]][[{{Irony}} Ironic]] that the one rule that constantly caused Timmy so much trouble wasn't there the one time it could've ''helped'' him.[[/note]]
** Unfortunately for Timmy: Jorgen ''is'' Da Rules. He's responsible enough to know when to break a rule, whereas Timmy isn't.

** Said episode has a few VisualPuns regarding Cosmo's random transformations. During this scene, for example, when Cosmo mentions how he's stupid, he turns into a dumbbell.

* As a kid, I didn't understand why Timmy kept getting beaten up by Vicky in "The Big Problem", but as I got older and watched the episode again, I realized why she acted in self-defense: Timmy looks like a 40 to 50-something-year-old, and often times, a much-older man approaching a sixteen-year-old has UnfortunateImplications.

* Timmy's behavior in "The Big Fairy Share Scare" has been sited as a major example of his Flanderization because it heavily contradicts his behavior in "Birthday Wish"; in the latter, he willingly loans Tootie his fairies because he felt guilty for skipping her party, in the former, he fights tooth and nail to not have to share his fairies with Chloe. However, there are three differences between the two situations that make the difference in behavior easier to understand.

* In "The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker", it seems a bit cruel for Jorgen to completely nix Timmy's plan to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong on an extremely flimsy excuse... until it later revealed that Crocker's belief in fairies [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve is the source of their power]]. He probably didn't want Timmy to Retgone their only source of power left.

* It's been implied various times (especially in the LiveActionAdaptation) that Timmy will have his fairies possibly for the rest of his life. Fairies are also immortal. Are Cosmo and Wanda are the first fairies to keep their godchild for this long? If so, they will someday have to experience Timmy dying of old age before being assigned to their new godkid.

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

** Unfortunately for Timmy: Jorgen 'is' Da Rules. He's responsible enough to know when to break a rule, whereas Timmy isn't.

* In Movie Magic: Timmy heads to the era of the dinosaurs to film a scene for his movie. While there, he realizes the meteor that was supposed to kill the dinosaurs didn't actually kill them. How did the dinosaurs die? Wanda killed them in A Really Bad Day.

* The reason magic power is rendered useless by butterfly nets is because in a similar way to a Faraday cage these prevent the giant magic wand at fairy world that provides a source of magic to all fairies to charge their wands, and fairies are physically weak so that they can't break through it (and can't transform into something that does due to having no magic power) also is possible that Jorgen is simply afraid of them and doesn't realizes that being the strongest fairy may be able to break free of one.

* Everyone should be fortunate that the Da Rules keep them away from [[HumansAreBastards more horrible and vicious things]]. Such as no rule on [[BrokenMasquerade revealing]] the existence of fairies, [[HypnotizeThePrincess interfere with true love]], [[CruelAndUnusualDeath allow to kill or maim]], [[ForgedMessage writing fake deeds],[[ZombieApocalypse raising the dead]], [[CounterfeitCash wishing for money]], and other things.

** Because we couldn't have an 11-minute episode, then.
