Who took out all the character info? I've restored it.
That info was one of the most interesting parts of the page. Why someone would remove it is beyond me.
One contributor has stated of the program, "Yet is not very popular."
- Not true. http://www.fairlyoddparents.net/index.php?fopw=archives_feb1 quotes figures of 3.2 million viewers, putting it at Number 1 for the night. --Darac Marjal 12:00, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Cancellation
Removed a one line section about a cancellation rumour. Don't think it's encyclopedic nor did it need its own section but if it eventually turns out to be, update the main article to include it. SynergyBlades 20:21, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
Jorgen
The article says that J von S is voiced by Rodger Bumpass, but IMDB says it's Daran Norris (also the voice of Mr Turner). Which is it? Marnanel 00:26, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)
It was Daran
No it's not. It might not be Bumpass, but TV Tome has confermed Jorgen and Mr. Turner are not vioced by the same guy. This may have changed in recent seasons, but I doubt it. --Wack'd About Wiki 11:32, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
My bad. That's Cosmo and Jorgan. --Wack'd About Wiki 10:20, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
Sneaky vandalism
This page seems to attract one or more anons who regulary add sneaky vandalism to it. I'm not familiar with the series, so could any fan of this series check the facts added by the anons on this page please? --Conti|✉ 23:07, Aug 1, 2004 (UTC Animereadabouter: Don't forget acorrding to tv.com jorgen is voiced by Daran norris
Jorgen's role
I was under the impression that Jorgen is not actually in charge of fairy world, but is actualy more of an enforcer. Maybe I'm just confused... but he has been a dance instructor, a movie star, a general, , along with his "pleaderlike" roles. And think also to his security duty at the gates to anti-fairy world. But from what I've said with other people, it seems that I'm the only one that notices. If you were to ask me, I'd probably say his position was as a head of operations (He probably has many titles to go along with his many roles).
I think this is probably right... in the one episode where Cosmo is on the "This Is Your Life" type show (can't remember the name of the episode) we see the "fairy top bass" who take away one of Jorgen's stars every time Cosmo messes up. Oddball990 2:48, June 9, 2005 (UTC)
It was called "This is Your Wish." --Wack'd About Wiki 11:35, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Dead linkage
- And maybe it's just my browser, but all of the links (And my attempts in the address bar) lead me to believe that www.fairlyoddparents.net no longer exists. I'm not sure if this is the right place to mention that... (Maybe they're just experiencing technical difficulties right now, in which case, I appologize for taking up space.)
- I've relayed your observation to the NickDisk FOP forum; the site in question being down is not a topic of current discussion right now, but just maybe, somebody who posts there either is "nickelbob" or knows him. knoodelhed 06:53, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Voices... I hear voices...
I checked the last anonymous submission... I'm pretty sure that was vandalism, so I took it out (although I haven't seen the entire show...there MAY be a Gates reference somewhere). I also took out the mentioning of the more famous roles of certain voice actors (Frankie Muniz, for one); I figured they were irrelevant to, and detracting from the article. Azure Haights 07:01, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
- In one episode that takes place in the past, shortly after the events of The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker, the "hippie" Cosmo and Wanda did say that Bill Gates (or at least a reference to him) was their (newly reassigned?) fairy godchild... kelvSYC 04:29, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Interesting. Assigning 1973 as an arbitrary year for that episode, Gates would have been 17-18 years old at the time, a bit old for him to have FGPs assigned to him, unless this was done earlier employing a predestination paradox or something. ;) knoodelhed 06:22, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- According to Channel Chasers, Timmy kept his godparents until he was 18... kelvSYC 01:15, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- According to "Father Time," C&W were Gate's godparents in the 60s, and then in the late 60s they may've been Crocker's. Or vise versa. As most of you know, there is no continuety betweem some episodes. (Examples: Vicky's little brother from Oh Yeah!'s origanal FOP scetch has never appeared, and Vicky's pets (minus Diodle) from "A Dog's Life" have never been seen again). So the matter of C&W's former godchildern has been confused quite a bit. --Wack'd About Wiki 10:08, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Sexual Innuendo?
I must say right now that I am a major fan of Fairly OddParents and have practically watched every episode twice or more times, and not once have I ever encountered a "subliuminal sexually suggestive" joke. Sure, I agree there might be some jokes that only adults might get, but I have never encountered any sexual innuendo in the show as this article suggests. If anyone begs to differ, be my guest and show me an example. Thank you!
- I'd be glad to give you an example or two. I'm not sure if they count as "innuendos" per se, but there are certainly some more...adult jokes on the show--for example, Cosmo's plastic surgery in This Is Your Wish and a scene in Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad where we cut outside and Timmy's dad says something like "And that's all you need to know about where babies come from!". -Shippy Mandy
- The plastic surgery joke I don't get, but the "baby's" gag was something to laugh at since I saw "the video" (nu nu nu nuuu...nu nu nu nuuu...) and know that they don't use machines, or at least not that "the video" (nu nu nu nuuu...nu nu nu nuuu...) said. (Timmy's comment - "But what do they need the machines for?"). But kids ten and under, who haven't seen "the video" (nu nu nu nuuu...nu nu nu nuuu...) might not get it. --Wack'd About Wiki 10:15, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
- As you may recall, in This Is Your Wish, there was a scene where Cosmo was seen with breast implants, or at least some form of inflatable bra. He says, "I thought you said plastic surgery!" and Timmy starts laughing hysterically. Cosmo says, "I'm keeping them." I think it's pretty self-explanatory. -Shippy Mandy
Well.....I think there are some sexual innuendos and some sexual references. Specifically Juandissimo Magnifico. especially him repeatedly saying 'do you think i'm sexy?' i'm sure this would be controversial to some parents. maybe we should add a controversy section?
- I don't think a few rare sexual innuendo jokes would warrant the statement in the "Adult Humor" section. Frankly, I think that statement should be taken out. Wolf ODonnell 13:00, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
- I disagree, there is humor which can be seen in two ways, and depending how old you are you might see the jokes as more "adult" in nature, and therefore I think adults will find it very funny at times. That said I do agree that since they can be seen in very different ways depending on how old you are an "Adult Humor" section might not be needed, however I do think some of it might be worth noting in the trivia section. Ryokosha 12:51, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Well, I THINK this is one..But there is this one when Timmy is chaseing Tom Sawyer thru all these books when they relize that the last book is "The laws of Fisics(sp?) for morrons" and he's like "He could turn Gravity into gravy! He could turn Planets into plants!" And wandas like "He could turn Uranus into..OH NO!" And cosmos like "Wait..I don't get it."
- What's with the sour grapes? Interesting how you cite your hate for the media and terrorists, that's a nice touch. Riff 08:21, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
When they first met that crazy princess that was suposed to marry Mark Chang Cosmo was about to say something and Wanda handed him a card and he changed what he was saying to "I can't do that I'm married..."
I think most of the adult humor/sexual innuendo comes from the earliest episodes, namely the ones with Chip Skylark, which seem to imply that both Cosmo and Timmy's Dad are bisexual. For example, both Timmy's Dad and Cosmo note that Chip Skylark is delicious. When Timmy mentions that Chip is delicious to his face, Chip makes a surprised face and says, somewhat disgusted, "what?". Timmy then goes "My Dad said that." Also, Adam West seems to have a crush on Timmy's Dad, mostly borne of the fact that Mr. Turner entered the Miss Dimmsdale pageant so he believed him to be a woman. However, he seemed undaunted when Timmy told him (repeatedly) that he was a man.
Also, in the first episode with Norm, there are several references to a product called "Smoof" which, to the adult viewer, are an obvious reference to hemp, including that it's illegal (although the show never says why).
I'm not quite sure this is an X joke,( that's what I call sex jokes because I'm 10 years old and I'm surrounded by kids who are younger than I am) but in the movie Channel Chasers, Timmy's parents are looking at videos from when Timmy was young to look for times they lied to him and the very first thing you see is Mom and Dad shouting to a baby Timmy, "The stork!", and then Dad says "That was quick." (Please don't ask me about the me being ten thing. I'm diffrent than other kids.)
Brief History POV issues
The Brief History section seems to really need a bit of rewrite, as the language really leans to the stated opinion that FOP "jumped the shark" upon Hartman's departure. At one point it even flat out states, as fact, that the newer episodes weren't as funny.
Yes they were! A ton of kids loved "Timmy's 2-D House of Horrors." And the others were good, too! --Wack'd About Wiki 10:17, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
Response To Talk
For the person who thinks I am wrong, me, as the writer of the breif history article will tell you why I wrote what I wrote.
- I never said FOP was not popular, I just said it wasn't popular in it's first year, and that it's ratings are falling, both of which are true, but the show is popular.
- I did not say Rodger Bumpass did Jorgans voice, that was someone else.
- Uh, huh
- Useless edit
- Useless
- I have pointed out at least one sex joke in nearly every episode of this show made in the Hartman years.
- Many people believe the show started going downhill when hartman left, including me, my friends, and many people on the web.
- Edited for being opinionated ::
Include me as well. 2-House of Horror is plain horrible. And the show's been bad for well over a year.
Juandissimo Magnifico or Wandissimo Magnifico?
According to TV Tome's FOP page, it's not Juandissimo Magnifico, it's Wandissimo Magnifico. TV Tome's FOP page is probably right, since "Cosmo" is probably a reference to the cosmos and Wanda and Wandissimo Magnifico are probablly references to wands.
- The name is indeed spelled Juandissimo; that's how the name is spelled in the end credits.
- It is pronounced Wandissimo, but Juandissimo sounds like a correct spelling Sonic Mew 17:39, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
Juandissimo is how it is spelled in captions as well.
A. J.
Okay, AJ'S last name is not Ibrahim, this is actually the first name of the first v/o who did his voice, Ibrahim Haneef Muhammad.
Hartman's Heart Lies Within FOP
Okay, whatever idiot claimed Hartman left the show to work on Danny Phantom, you are the biggest idiot in the world. It has been confermed by my friend who works inside of Nickelodeon that Hartman is currently working on both FOP and DP. --Wack'd About Wiki 21:02, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- PS: Yes that's allowed.
I have deleted all information helping to spread the rumor that Hartman left FOP. This is false, as I stated above. --Wack'd About Wiki 11:29, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Butch Hartman has left. He is not in the shows credits anymore. And FOP sucks these days anyway, so obviously it couldn't be him doing it.
For your information (and I don't like to brag, please don't call me a bragger), I've spent practically all my time on the best TV- and Nickelodeon-based websites on the net. Plus, I live right across the street from someone who works in Nickelodeon (see Jennifer), and have memorized the theme song to almost every Nick show currently airing as of 2003; so I like to fancy myself a Nickelodeon expert. Both TV.com and Jen say Butch is still on FOP. As for the end credits, it's probably a mistake or Butch skipped work in a bunch of episodes and those where the only ones you saw the credits for. --Wack'd About Wiki 22:07, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
- PS: The new episodes do not stink.
- Yeah, the new episodes don't stink, they suck.
- For your information, whether the show stinks or sucks in an oppinon, and I say its niether. Anyway, we're supposed to be talking about the artical content here, not the suck-level of the show, so if you want to go insult FOP, take it to the Internet Movie Database. End of descussion. --Wack'd About Wiki 15:06, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
Needs to be Organized
Article looks messy. Could someone clean it up?
- I agree. Especially the Trivia section is ridiculously huge. Most of the trivia appears obvious to me (such as the Star Wars reference), some of it isn't even real trivia (the reference about Wanda being fat), and some of it is poorly written (the reference to birthdays). I vote we break the Trivia out into a subpage and clean both it and the original article up. SavannahLion 14:04, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Sanjay+Sönjay?
I always thought the credits said that Sanjay's name was spelled and pronounced Sönjay. Homeschool Winner
- I dont' know where you're getting that from. Sanjay is Indian. Sanjay (the spelling) is Indian. and the captions spell it Sanjay
- Agree with above comment. Sanjay is an Indian name. And a fine one. It's mine! ;-) Sönjay isn't even a real name, and moreover an Indian name would not have a European umlaut. If you don't believe us, just check the IMDB credits, or better yet the captions. 151.205.103.25 22:11, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Chrizis? Muscles?
Last time I checked, there was no character on this show named Chrizis, or if there was, he didn't turn dorks 'bad' in the beta club chatroom. On another note, in Jorgen's article, it says ("possibly the head of Fairyworld, if not then his muscles are") or something to that effect. The last time I checked, muscles couldn't be the head of anything. What's up with that, anyway? 216.231.185.151
- Probably vandalism, I'm thinking by Cartoon Guy. I've been trying to clean up the article but I don't watch the show enough to know that much about the characters. The characters section, by the way, needs to be downgraded IMO. Either move it to a separate page or cut out minor characters. ♥purplefeltangel 9 July 2005 06:22 (UTC)
Cosmo and Wanda Cosma
It is a good assumsion that C&W's last name is Cosma, bacause Cosmo's mother is called Moma Cosma, noting she is the mother of someone in the Cosma family (obviously Cosmo, it's been mentioned so many times before Moma Cosma is Cosmo's mom), and if it was supposed to mean "mother of Cosmo" it would've been someting more along those lines. --Wack'd About Wiki 08:19, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
Also note that in the SpongeBob SquarePants episode Sailor Mouth Mr. Krabs's mom is called "Mama Krabs."
