* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Played for laughs: Upon arriving in the time of the dinosaurs to film, Wanda points out the cometthat will wipe them out... only for nothing to happen once it crashes. Timmy's solution? Poof up Sylvester Calzone to beat up the dinosaurs instead.



* CuttingTheKnot: While Timmy and Wanda start working out how he can use magic to make his film while still following Da Rules, Cosmo just out and out removes the page forbidding Timmy from using his godparents:
-->'''Timmy''': Tad and Chad's film kicks my film's butt! I've gotta make a better film!
-->'''Cosmo''': [[StatingTheSimpleSolution (annoyed) What part of "magic," "fairy" and "godparents" are you not getting here?]]
-->'''Timmy''': But... it's a competition!
-->'''Wanda''': True, but if you just ''[[ExactWords happened]]'' to go where cool action stuff was happening...
-->'''Timmy''': (cottons on) [[LoopholeAbuse And I brought my film equipment with me and just]] ''[[LoopholeAbuse happened]]'' [[LoopholeAbuse to catch something on film...]]
-->'''Cosmo''': ''[[CuttingTheKnot And]]'' [[CuttingTheKnot (while poofing up Da Rules and ripping out a page) if I just happened to tear this page out of the rule book that says we can’t help you...]]
-->'''Timmy''': Then '''I''' would have shot a Dimmy-winning film!

* BoomerangBigot: Played for laughs: After it has been well established that Sylvester Calzone has a habit of punching critics, when he shows up to mock Timmy's film at the end of the episode, Timmy rhetorically asks if he's supposed to be a critic.
