YMMV / The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour

Go To

  • Alternative Joke Interpretation: In The Jerkinators!, did all that time Shirley spend waiting for Jimmy and Timmy at the mall really happen in one hour, or does Cosmo just have no sense of time?
  • Die for Our Ship: Timmy×Cindy. Lots of people got angry about it.
  • Fanon Discontinuity: Particularly, The Jerkinators! which brought disappointment to many fans.
  • Memetic Mutation: Timmy screaming "TALLYHOLE!" in The Jerkinators!.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Professor Calamitous creating a bomb to destroy the universe in the second special.
  • Older Than They Think: These specials were actually not the first time Jimmy was shown crossing paths with Cosmo and Wanda. The real first time was in the Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast attraction, which came out in 2003, about a year before the first special aired.
  • Sequelitis/Tough Act to Follow: The Jerkinators! was supposed to be a Grand Finale for both shows, but lacked the luster of the first sequel and came off as mediocre instead.
  • Surprisingly Improved Sequel: The first special was considered alright with the only complaints that the characters don't really interact with each other for very long. The second special however improves on this and had a much tighter story allowing characters from both universes to interact with each other.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The Jerkinators! was originally going to be a Grand Finale for both shows. Who didn't want to see a 3D Dimmsdale and a 2D Retroville, and see Crocker spazzing out in 3D? Alas, all we got is a 2.5D mishmash of both worlds that was almost entirely rendered in the Fairly OddParents art style.note 
  • Unintentional Period Piece: The trilogy is dated to the 2000s, the only decade in which The Fairly OddParents would be heavily pushed. The show underwent Seasonal Rot so severe that its popularity plummeted, leaving The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour as a relic of the era. Tellingly, while Hugh and Jimmy are both in the Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl series, FOP is not, ensuring that anyone who watches The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour today will probably wonder what the second series featured is.
  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic: The friends of Jimmy and Timmy in The Jerkinators!. We're supposed to sympathize with them because they were all ditched and ignored by Jimmy and Timmy as they became friends. However, Jimmy and Timmy don't really flat out ignore them and ditch them. They just come off as rather being too busy to socialize with their friends, which is pretty much normal for anyone who has a reason why they don't feel like hanging out with their friends at the moment, and they do say hi whenever they encounter them. Plus, what also doesn't steer Jimmy's friends and Timmy's friends into sympathetic light is that they tried to break apart Jimmy and Timmy's bond with each other by using Cindy to make them fight over her again like in the previous installment, and they flat out ignore and refuse to help them during when Shirley was taking objects from their universes and letting them get destroyed. They instead just come off as jealous because Jimmy and Timmy are hanging out with each other instead of hanging out with them and immediately rush to conclusions that they don't want to be friends with them anymore just because they don't even spend a single second with them.
