In A Fairly Odd Movie, there is even a scene in which Wanda states that Timmy doesn't have a dog.]]

* LogicalWeakness: In season three episode twenty six H2Olga is defeated not by the Crimson Chin superpowers, but by being absorbed into the diaper of the baby he was watching.
** Adds a bit of insult to injury on the Ursula-esque villainess's part that the diaper was ultra absorbent absorbing not only her but the large amount of water that flooded chincinatti from Timmy's bath.

Fortunately, the transformation is quickly reserved, not only sucking out the stolen magic, but also sucking out all of Evil Jorgen's magic, [[ClippedWingAngel leaving him frail, bone thin and powerless.]]

Added DiffLines:

* KafkaKomedy: Timmy's life is so horrible that he must have fairy godparents to compensate for it. Even then, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor a poorly thought-out wish]] can make his problems ''[[ItGotWorse worse]]''.
** And sometimes, even a well thought out wish can backfire, as shown in the episode Just The Two of Us, showing that Timmy is indeed a CosmicPlaything and ButtMonkey.
* KangarooCourt: See JokerJury above.
* {{Keet}}: Cosmo and arguably Timmy.
** Peppy Happy Gary qualifies as well.
* KarmaMeter: In "Power Mad," where Timmy wishes up a challenging virtual reality game in which you can die if you lose your three lives and Chester and A.J. get stuck in it, Timmy sacrifices his own last life to save theirs. The game rewards him for his HeroicSacrifice with enough points for a 1Up.
* TheKidWithTheRemoteControl: Timmy
** And in Channel Chasers he gets a literal remote control that makes him go into any TV show he wants!
* KidsAreCruel
* KidHero: Timmy Turner. While he usually fits the trope DesignatedHero, there have been situations where events have been beyond his control. When this happens, he WILL step up to the plate and become a genuine hero. Wishology is the best known example of this.
* KissingUnderTheInfluence: Trixie and Timmy on separate occasions, Cupid in ''Apartnership''
** Anyone hit by Cupid's arrows.
* LampshadeHanging: The show enjoys doing this
* LandOfFaerie: Fairy World
* LanternJawOfJustice: The ''point'' of The Crimson Chin. Crash Nebula has it too.
* LatinLover: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with Juandissimo, [[LadykillerInLove as he wants Wanda, but she won't have him]].
** Played with, as Wanda enjoys his affections at the Fairy Spa, and she is known to have romantic chocolate-related dreams about him.
* LargeHam: Mark, the Crimson Chin, Dr. Rip Studwell
** '''''[+++FAIRY! GOD! PARENTS!!!+++]''''' ''* Contorts and spasms uncontrollably* ''
** Foop, the Anti-Fairy baby, has a penchant for grand, evil speeches full of dramatic weight.
* LegionOfDoom: The Body of Evil
* {{Leitmotif}}: Bunches that show up in the TitleCard, most frequently.
** Norm the Genie gets the "Literature/ArabianNights" sounding tune.
** Chip Skylark gets twangy electric guitar.
** Mr. Crocker has one that started in either "The Secret Origins Of Denzel Crocker" or "Abra-Catastrophe."
** Mark Chang gets retro 50s sci-fi music complete with theremin.
** The Crimson Chin, being a superhero, has his ThemeTune for his {{Leitmotif}}, but also has a secondary tune that plays during his episodes.
** Catman has a SuspiciouslySimilarSong to the 1960s ''Series/{{Batman}}'' ThemeTune.
* {{Leprechaun}}: In ''The Big Bash''
* LimitedAnimation: Due to having [[ThickLineAnimation thick lines]], this is to be expected.
* LipLock: Parodied in ''Formula For Disaster''
* LiteralGenie: Norm uses this to get his way
** This also becomes his undoing when he was in Timmy's possession. Timmy [[spoiler: wished for a lawyer]] and that's what he got.
* LockedInAFreezer: Timmy and Vicky in ''Snow Bound''
* LonelyRichKid: Remy Buxaplenty
* LongRunner: show started in 2001, after its appearance by a series of shorts from ''OhYeahCartoons''
* LotusEaterMachine: [[spoiler:the beginning of part 3 of Wishology]]
* LoveDodecahedron: Timmy [[http://garabatoz.deviantart.com/art/Timmy-s-Valentine-154407562 and about six girls]], (seven if you count Cindy of ''JimmyNeutron''), combined with PuppyLove
* LoveHungry: The focus of one of Timmy's wishes to make Trixie love him.
* LoveLetterLunacy: In ''Information Stuperhighway''
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Trixie in ''Just The Two Of Us!''
* LovePotion: Cupid's love arrows
* LowerDeckEpisode: "The Big Scoop"
* LowSpeedChase: Timmy is trying to outrun his mind-controlled friends, who are trying to capture and brainwash him. However, their scooters are set to a mere 2 mph -- any faster would mean they would spill their milk (the source of the mind control).
* LukeIAmYourFather: Parodied
* MagicallyBindingContract: In the episode "Temporary Fairy". The contract also look remarkably like [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Ursula's]].
* MagicVersusScience: In the ''JimmyNeutron'' crossovers.
* MakeAWish: The series premise.
* MakingASplash: Crimson Chin villain [=H2Olga=]
* MamaBear: Wanda and sometimes Mrs. Turner.
--> '''Mrs. Turner:''' [[ItMakesSenseInContext "We can reach Timmy with this: a rope made with my armpits' hair!"]]
* MarshmallowDream: Chester wakes up eating his pillow, says "You're not the giant marshmallow. Oh well!" and continues eating.
* {{Masquerade}}: Timmy is required to keep his fairy godparents a secret, or he will lose them
* MayContainEvil: The evil Gigglepies pretend to be prizes in cereal boxes
* MayTheFarceBeWithYou
* McNinja: [[spoiler: Poof in Wishology.]]
* MeaningfulName: Princess Mandie
** Timmy ''[[RealityWarper Turner]]''
* {{Meganekko}}: Tootie
** And the trope is removed for the Live Action Movie ''Grow Up, Timmy Turner!", in which SheIsAllGrownUp and was BeautifulAllAlong.
* TheMenInBlack: The MERF agents, Chester and AJ in ''Hail to the Chief''
* MesACrowd: The focus of an ''OhYeahCartoons'' short, due to all the demands of a bedridden Vicky
* MidBattleTeaBreak: "Abra-Catastrophe" was the TropeNamer and provided the image.
* MickeyMousing: Used with good effect in the NoDialogueEpisode (the aptly titled [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin ''"Pipe down!"'']]), counting as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome ''for Butch Hartman himself.''
* MidlifeCrisisCar: Timmy's dad's cars
* MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds: While being put through Fairy Academy, Cosmo ended up destroying Pompei, turned Xanadu into Pittsburg, and sank Atlantis... ''NINE TIMES''.
** [[RefugeInAudacity All on the same day.]]
** In another episode, the evil bug that crawled up Vicky's butt inhabited the President of the country and made him bring out a button that could destroy the planet. At the end of the episode, Cosmo pushes it and destroys Pluto.
--->''"He said THE planet. He didn't say which one."''
*** Actually, the President just happened to have the button with himself. The bug never made it to...er, the President's butt.
*** In one episode early on in the series, Cosmo was required to do one sufficiently evil act within a 24 hour period or his fairy license would be revoked and he'd be sent back to training. After consulting Vicky for advice, she suggests he blow up the Earth, and he would have done it, if not for the fact that he reverted back to his normal self at 12:00:00 Midnight, and the Earth would have otherwise blown up at 12:00:01 AM.
**** In the same episode, Wanda says that for her evil act she wiped out the dinosaurs.
** Blowing up planets seems to be a standard affair for the Yugopotamians.
--->''"We wouldn't have to blow up all these planets if you just stopped and asked for directions!"''
*** The G in FLARG.
* MirrorCrackingUgly: Mr. Crocker
* MissedTheCall: [[spoiler: Turbo Thunder]]
* MissingEpisode: ''Hail to the Chief'' and ''Twistory'' for being offensive. It portrays ''the Founding Fathers'' as kinda wacky characters, ''especially'' George Washington, who's an AxCrazy BadAss with AnAxeToGrind (a borderline textbook example of a MemeticBadass).
*** The episode is still shown in other countries.
*** It is also available over Netflix in America as a part of Season 1.
**** It's been moved to the Season 2 list.
*** It's also on the season 2 VanillaEdition DVD of the [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents Fairly Odd Parents]]
* MissingMom: For the following: Wanda, Chester, Trixie, Wendell
* MistakenForMurderer: Big Daddy's group in ''Big Wanda''
* MisterSeahorse: Cosmo in ''Fairly [=OddBaby=]''. Then again, [[JustifiedTrope this is apparently how fairy pregnancy works]] (presumably because [[BellisariosMaxim Butch Hartman wants to dissuade you from thinking too deeply into]] ''[[{{Squick}} fairy pregnancy]]'').
* MomentKiller: Mark, Mr. Turner, and Jorgen in ''Wishology''
* MommasBoy: Cosmo
* {{Mooks}}: The Eliminators
* {{Mordor}}: Dimmsdale under Crocker's rule
* TheMovie: Holds the record at Nick for the most made-for-TV movies with a total of 9 films so far. (11 if you count the Wishology movies as separate films)
** Wishology is especially notable given Nick's standards of what a "movie" is. [[SpongeBobSquarePants Atlantis Squarepantis]] was called a movie. It was 30 minutes long. Wishology is two hours twenty four minutes, and is the only episode of FOP (besides the live-action movie) broadcast in widescreen high definition.
** LiveActionAdaptation: ''AFairlyOddMovieGrowUpTimmyTurner!''
* MrFanservice: Juandissimo, parodied because he thinks of himself as sexy. Played straight, however, in Fairy Idol.
* MultipleChoicePast: how Mr. and Mrs. Turner met
* MundaneMadeAwesome: ''Twistory''. Aside from the episode itself (alongside ''[[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical Hail To The Chief]]'', tied to it) being a glorified educational episode, it doesn't just involve Timmy doing his essay by ''directly asking the Founding Fathers themselves'', but for doing so, Timmy ''hosts a self-titled talk-show'', the "Timmy Turner Show". Filmed in Timmy's treehouse. Timmy himself just seems to be screaming to the audience, like, "hey look, it's educational yet entertaining". However, when his wish [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor (as usual)]] backfires, since [[spoiler: the Founding Fathers' absence from their age turns the States back to the British colony they once were]], well... [[HilarityEnsues I think you know what happens]].
* MundaneWish: Crocker teams up with Norm the genie but instead of simply wishing Timmy to Mars (as Norm suggests) or simply wishing to have a fairy in his possession he wastes his wishes on parts for ridiculous traps that backfire on him. Norm allows Crocker to wish for more wishes -- which he does by wishing for them three at a time -- and continues to waste them.
** While many of Timmy's wishes seem wasteful, they don't qualify because he has unlimited wishes. In fact, it's actually bad for the fairies if he doesn't constantly wish for things
* MusicalEpisode: ''School's Out: The Musical''
* MyBelovedSmother: Mama Cosma
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: In One Man Banned, when Mr. Turner saves Timmy after he played the ''triangle'' badly, he does this to Mr. Dinkleberg.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Juandissimo towards Remy Buxaplenty
* MyNameIsNotDurwood: A lot of characters get [[strike:Empty Bus Seat's]] [[strike:Tommy's]] Timmy's name wrong.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Timmy in the episodes Crime Wave and Emotion Commotion
** Timmy's was lampshaded when comic book people believed he was the infamous super hero 'Naked Lad'. (Bonus points for the comic book cover; it's Timmy's head with a musclar body!)
** And Francis, in "Evil University"
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Jorgen Von Strangle.
** Truant Officer Shallowgrave
** Princess Mandie (pronounced "Man-Die")
* NationalStereotypes
* NegativeContinuity: Especially in light of the Wishology special. This special had featured a considerable amount of CharacterDevelopment for many of the minor characters. In particular, the main character, Timmy, finally was GenreSavvy. Subsequent seasons show NONE of these developments.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Timmy frequently, especially when it came to Crocker's fairy obsession (actually that was Cosmo's fault.)
* NicheNetwork: "Teeth TV" and "The Clown Channel."
* NighInvulnerable: The Crimson Chin
* NoArcInArchery: For Cupid, and Timmy in ''Abra-Catastrophe''
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed
* NoDialogueEpisode: "Pipe Down"
* NoFourthWall
* NoGuyWantsToBeChased: Timmy, definitely.
** Juandissimo in "Stupid Cupid".
* NoIndoorVoice: Mr. Turnbaum has a bad habit of '''ANNOUNCING THAT EVERYTHING THAT HE AND HIS WIFE ARE COMMITTING IS BY THEM, THE REAL TURNBAUMS!''' Mrs. Turnbaum doesn't like it when he does that.
** As well as Mr. Crocker whenever '''FAIRY GODPARENTS''' come up. Also when he is working out a secret plan... even when Timmy or someone else is right there.
--->'''Timmy:''' Hello, I'm right here. I heard everything you just said.
--->'''Mr. Crocker:''' Good. Then I won't have to repeat everything I just said.
** Timmy himself has shades of this, especially when makes a wish. [[FridgeBrilliance Probably due to the fact he's a neglected kid with almost no one to form a good social life with before he gained his fairies]], so in a sense he's just making sure someone pays attention to him. Oh, and he's only 10 years old.
* NoNameGiven: Timmy's parents
* NoOntologicalInertia: In the episode "Whishy Wash" Cosmo and Wanda turn into teenagers [[RetGone thereby getting rid of their child, Poof]], yet the result of a wish they grant before then remains, as does Timmy's [[RippleEffectProofMemory memory of Poof]].
* NoSympathy: In the recent episode Bad Heir Day, Timmy, who has risked his life trying to find his godbrother, Poof, is given no sympathy by Wanda despite it being clear he's a BadlyBatteredBabysitter.
* NoirEpisode: ''Where's Wanda''
* NonHumanSidekick: Plenty
* NonSingingVoice: The pixies, Cosmo in ''Fairy Idol''
* NoodleIncident: Super Toilet: "So...much...clogging..."
** And there's this one from "Vicky Loses Her Icky":
--->'''Timmy:''' (holds up a net) Mom, don't ask why, but I have to stick this in Dad's pants.
--->'''Mom:''' Oh, is it Fathers Day already?
** We never do find out exactly why Mr. Crocker was banned from entering Cincinatti, although one can safely assume it probably had to do with proving the existence of '''FAIRY GODPARENTS!!!'''
* NotAllowedToGrowUp: All the kids
** In fact, there have been various episodes depicting the last day of school (all of which pay no mind to continuity) yet they all stay in the same class, in the same grade, with the SAME teacher!
** Yeah, but that could be because Crocker keeps giving everyone F's. In the live-action movie, [[spoiler:Timmy was still in Crocker's class despite being ''23 years old''.]]
** In addition to the multiple summers, one movie explicitly takes place one year after he got his fairies, which is retconned to have happened a year earlier.
** Averted by the live action movie, which will [[spoiler:show the future of most of Timmy's human friends and enemies.]]
** Referenced yet AGAIN in ''Timmy's Secret Wish'', where [[spoiler: we discover that apparently Timmy wished that everyone on Earth, including himself would never age so he could keep Cosmo and Wanda forever...which he did 50 YEARS AGO.]]
* NotNowKiddo: Mark in ''Super Poof''
* NotSoDifferent
* NowOrNeverKiss: Timmy and Trixie in ''Wishology Part II''
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: The pixies
* OffTheTable
* OldSuperhero: [[Series/{{Batman}} Catman]]
** Played by 'TV'S Adam West' no less!
* OmnicidalManiac: The Darkness
* OneWingedAngel: The Lead Eliminator into [[spoiler: The Destructinator]]
* OnlyChildSyndrome: It's easier to list the aversions: Tootie and Vicky, Cosmo and Schnozmo, and Wanda and Blonda. Almost every character in the series lacks siblings.
* OnlyOneName: Several characters
* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]: Wanda
* OpeningShoutOut: In ''Abra-Catastrophe''
* OrSoIHeard: ''Big Wanda'' When Wanda takes over her father's business, she put a ficus in the meeting room. One of the men comments on a gardening tip for it, then quickly invokes this trope when the others stare at him surprised.
--> "A ficus? That's gonna need more light... not that, I would know."
* TheOtherDarrin: Robert Cait replacing Norm MacDonald as the voice of Norm the Genie, Butch Hartman replacing Gilbert Gottfried as Dr. Bender, and Jason Marsden replacing Frankie Muniz as Chester, to name a few.
* TheOtherMarty: TaraStrong redubbed the ''OhYeahCartoons'' shorts after she took the role of Timmy. Timmy was originally voiced by Mary Kay Bergman, but was replaced following Bergman's suicide.
* OurFairiesAreDifferent
* OurFounder: Dale Dimm, founder of [[CityOfAdventure Dimmsdale]].
* OutOfFocus: Crash Nebula was almost never seen at all after his OriginStory [[DayInTheLimeLight episode]]
* OvernightAgeUp: in ''The Big Problem!''
* OverprotectiveDad: Big Daddy
* PaintedTunnelRealTrain: "Back to the Norm"
* PapaWolf: Often averted for both Cosmo and Timmy's Dad. Whenever their respective sons are threatened they try to be heroic... with mixed results.
* PaperThinDisguise: Several
* ParentalSubstitute: Cosmo and Wanda
* PardonMyKlingon: "Aw, smoof."
* ParentalNeglect: Timmy's parents are quite neglectful and extremely selfish. They do love him though; they're more like adult children than truly evil abusers. Still, there are times when they put Timmy's happiness after their own, and in the "Wishology" trilogy they fail to notice he's been in Fairy World for an extended period of time, and don't notice they forgot to take him on two family vacations. It speaks volumes when, in part one, Timmy shrugs off the fact that they don't remember they have a son. The mother has even openly spent Timmy's college fund on stuff for herself when viewing the home shopping channel

* PlotInducedStupidity: occurs in almost every episode.
* PlotHole: A few. See the character sheet.

** Da Rules probably averts this, (we haven't even seen the whole book) but what about the Magic Muffin? You can take bites out of it and as long as you don't eat the whole thing you can still nibble it for more wishes!
* PrecociousCrush: The episode where Timmy wishes up the 18-year old Tommy Turner, whom the 10-year old Tootie falls in love with. And the fact that Tootie is genuinely in '''love''' with him is a major plot point of the episode.

* {{Retconjuration}}: Some of Timmy's wishes have permanently altered the world he lives in. For example, the mountainous snow-capped central American country of Tibecuidor has always existed.
** This came to a head when Timmy wished he was always right; instead of being magically prevented from saying something wrong, [[RealityWarper reality itself would be bent and altered]] to satisfy whatever Timmy said. Some of the changes took place immediately after Timmy mentioned them and were noticed by others (AJ wanted to study Timmy after he said there were only 49 states and the Dakotas merged into one state immediately thereafter), but some ("No I don't! [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor I don't have fairy godparents...!]]") seemed to silently rewrite others' perceptions (Mr. Crocker suddenly becoming placid and saying "oh, okay then" after Timmy makes the previously-quoted claim).

* RuleOfFunny
* RuleOfThree: At least one joke is repeated thrice over the course of each and every episode
** Lampshaded at one point when one character remarks that they can only use a gag three times. Makes you wonder if the writers are keeping an eye on this page.
* [[RunawayBride Runaway Groom]]: Mark Chang
* RunningGag: Someone asks Timmy where he got something the fairies made for him. His response; "Internet."
** Chester's braces.
** The show also seems to have a new running gag EVERY SINGLE EPISODE. After that episode, the gag is forgetten and never mentioned again.
