* BadLiar: When his dad demands to know where he got heat vision, Timmy says he got it from the internet. His dad still falls for it.
* BeneathTheMask: The one thing that can break Mr. Turner's outward smile is being reminded that he didn't win the trophy in that race when he was a kid. Of course, he set up an empty display area to note just that, so he's just asking for this.
-->'''Mr. Turner:''' And this is where I'd put a trophy... IF I HAD ONE! Sorry, lost the happy, but the happy's back!

''Father Time!'' is the seventh episode of the first season of ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', airing on April 20, 2001

When Timmy wishes for heat vision and uses it to do his chores faster, he accidentally melts his dad's trophy. Not understanding what the big deal is, Timmy goes back in time and prevents his dad from winning the trophy in the first place, but he ends up sending his dad to a military school and changing the future into a dictatorship.

!This episode contains examples of:

* CloseEnoughTimeline: At the end, Cosmo's comment to Bill Gates meant that the internet is called the Timmy and Timmy is named Internet.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Timmy uses a wish to win a contest, which is later shown to be against Da Rules.
* EyeBeams: Timmy wishes for heat vision. He never unwishes it.
* SoundEffectBleep: Timmy's Dad states his and Mrs. Turners real names, but each time a truck goes by and we don't learn it.
* StatingTheSimpleSolution: Wanda does this three times and is overshadowed by Cosmo each time. First, she suggests that Timmy wish all his chores done. Cosmo suggests that he melt it all with HeatVision. Then, after this wish destroys Mr. Turner's prize trophy, she suggests Timmy apologize. Cosmo suggests TimeTravel, and this wins. Then, as they go back in time to stop Mr. Turner from winning the trophy, Wanda points out he could just have gone back a few minutes and stopped himself from destroying the trophy in the first place.
* TimeTravel: Timmy does it for the first time.
* TheUnreveal: Timmy's parents remain unnamed, only called Mom and Dad, even in the 70s.
