Original air date: July 23, 2004 (produced in 2003)Episode number: 54-56The second Fairly OddParents Made-for-TV Movie, and the first one to feature Vicky as the main antagonist. A love letter to all of creator Butch Hartman's favourite television programs and then some, the movie premiered during the show's fourth season, on July 23, 2004 in the United States. It stars the main voice cast, with Alec Baldwin guest-starring as a mysterious masked man.Timmy Turner has recently developed a huge obsession with television, watching every show under the sun and using Cosmo and Wanda's magic to imitate the various gadgets and situations seen on the idiot box. At the same time, Timmy is also getting fed up with his parents not believing him about Vicky. A feeling of growing anger and despair that only escalates once his fairies inform him that they won't always be around; eventually, Timmy is going to get older and lose his sense of childlike wonder and innocence, and will eventually believe all his adventures were just his imagination running wild, resulting in his fairy godparents finally leaving him.After another incident involving Vicky and a wish-gone-wrong leaves him waiting in his room to be yelled at by his parents once they get back from the ammo store, he decides that with Cosmo and Wanda's magic, he can run away into television. This way he won't have to deal with Vicky and, due to the Floating Timeline nature of most shows, he won't age and thus won't risk losing Cosmo and Wanda: a win win. Unbeknownst to Timmy however, as a result of that same incident, Vicky also gained the ability to enter the world of television herself. And she has the more pragmatic goal of using The Biographical Channel so she can rewrite history itself and become an all-powerful dictator. And unbeknownst to her, our buck-toothed protagonist and his fairies are running from show-to-show in order to escape a mysterious masked assassin, sent from the dystopian future Vicky will soon create. And unbeknownst to all of them, Timmy's parents are searching desperately for their son back in the real world and are beginning to realize the truth about Dimmsdale's go-to babysitter thanks to the mysterious Deep Toot.

Tempting Fate: Both of Timmy's parents were doing some pretty important and fragile things at the same time Timmy was bouncing around in an indestructible bubble. Guess what happens. After being told that when he gets older, he'll not only lose Cosmo and Wanda, but forget about them entirely, Timmy moans "What else could go wrong?!". At that moment, in comes Vicky with Timmy's parents, having found him in front of his TV still on despite being grounded, leading him to get in even more trouble.

Comic-Book Time: Actually becomes a major plot point in this movie. Timmy makes note of the fact that many TV shows run on this, and that if he were to live in one of them, he'd essentially never grow up. Ironically, this show already runs on Comic Book Time, but it would defeat the whole purpose of Timmy running away into TV if that was pointed out.

Bilingual Bonus: The climactic battle takes place in a Dragon Ball Z parody named Maho Mushi. This is actually Japanese for "Magical Bug". The "Magic" part is rather fitting; the "Bug" part, less so.note Though it could be a subtle Call-Back to "Vicky Loses Her Icky" where Vicky's evil is personified by a magic bug.

Lampshade Hanging

comment
Lampshade Hanging: invoked Given the nature of the film, almost no stone is left unturned as Timmy and the fairies travel through the world of television. Just to name certain examples: the Dawson Casting of Blue's Clues, how boring a cartoon about baby adventures would actually be, the violence of Tom and Jerry, the recycled backgrounds and laugh tracks of The Flintstones, the cast of Scooby-Doo looking too old to be teenagers, the stupidity of the adults on The Simpsons (and The Fairly OddParents itself, for that matter), the fact that no one in cartoons age, the fact that even The History Channel is Harmful to Minors, and so on, and so on, and so on.

Kick the Dog: Timmy is forced through the wringer at the start of the movie thanks to Vicky, made even worse by the fact that his parents flat out refuse to believe his claims that Vicky is at fault. In the Christmas special, mere moments after the Frosty expy comes to life, Timmy and crew mow him down on their dog sled. Comet doesn't even bother hiding his hatred of Rudolph, flat out saying he's going to go "make fun of that freak with the glowing red nose".

However, due to having his memory erased he appears to have forgotten everything he's ever learned and makes the same mistakes his parents did, hiring a robot version of Vicky as his kids babysitter. Luckily, both his kids now have Cosmo and Wanda as their fairy godparents.

The Reveal: Done in the parody of Scooby-Doo, where the masked figure turns out to be the monster that chases Timmy and the other characters. Also done for real when the masked figure turns out to be Timmy from the future. Tootie reveals to Timmy's parents that Vicky is a horrible babysitter.

Plot-Relevant Age-Up: A downplayed example when Vicky first steals the remote. She ends up in a game show, from which she is disqualified for not being 18 or over. She thumps the remote in frustration and coincidentally hits a button that ages her up a couple of years. In the climax, Timmy uses the remote to age himself until he is old enough he doesn't need fairies anymore so Vicky can be powerless.

Didn't Think This Through: After having no luck fighting Vicky in Maho Mushi, Timmy decides to use the remote to make himself older, so he would forget Cosmo and Wanda, and the remotes would no longer function, making it easier for him to fight Vicky. It does cause the remotes to no longer function, but since Timmy lost his memories of ever having Cosmo and Wanda, and everything he ever did with them, this causes him to forget that he is fighting Vicky and just thinks that he is in a football stadium waiting to play a team called the "Cougars," and does nothing to stop Vicky. Thankfully, Wanda poofs Timmy back to his normal age just in time.

Art Shift: Each TV show Timmy travels to has a different design and, in the cases of Poppyseed Avenue and Clint's Hints, includes live-action footage. The Rankin/Bass-esque Christmas special is animated entirely in CGI, albeit with the characters moving in a choppier manner reminiscent of stop-motion animation. The Bad Future of Dimmsdale 20 years later has a more realistic art style than the one normally used in the show, with backgrounds lacking lines and future versions of the FOP characters actually having, oddly enough, all five fingers on their hands.

Both of Timmy's parents were doing some pretty important and fragile things at the same time Timmy was bouncing around in an indestructible bubble. Guess what happens.

"Eureka!" Moment: Timmy has this when he remembers Wanda's lecture over kids losing their fairy godparents when they get older, which gives him the idea to age himself until he loses his fairies and the remotes stop working.

Was Too Hard on Him
 Channel Chasers / int_d16fa512

Was Too Hard on Him: When the Turners find out Timmy told the truth all along about Vicky being evil, they cry, wishing they would have listened, and are only stopped from firing her when Timmy freezes time so he doesn't have to give up his fairies.

Refuge in Audacity: When Future Timmy (who has forgotten Cosmo and Wanda) asks his younger self why Cosmo and Wanda are following them everywhere, Timmy lies and says they're his goldfish who got sucked into the television with then. Future Timmy admits it makes about as much sense as everything else in TV land.

You Are Worth Hell: Despite Vicky's torment pushing him to breaking point multiple times throughout the special, Timmy ultimately decides that it's worth putting up with her if it means Cosmo and Wanda get to stay with him for a few more years, and so erases his parents' memories of Vicky's crimes, saving her from being fired.

Reset Button: At the end of the movie, Vicky is fired by the Turners, but Timmy decides that putting up with her for a few more years is worth it if it means that Cosmo and Wanda will remain with him. This causes him to wish that the magic remotes never existed, restoring the status quo.

Bad Future: One caused by Vicky in one timeline using the magic remote to travel to the "Dictator Week" documentary, allowing her to alter reality and create a timeline where she rules over the world. The main goal of Timmy as well as his future self is to prevent this from happening.

Politically Inaccurate note a parody of Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, though the show plays out more like The MacLaughlin Group and eventually gets mashed up with an expy of WWE SmackDown to become Politically Inaccurate Smashdown.

Running Gag: Vicky writing "Vicky Was Here" on every show she visits, including key-scratching the message on Mr. Turner's car and blaming Timmy for it. While in the Maho Mushi world, Cosmo keeps accidentally firing Hand Blasts. Characters saying "Ooh, ahh, ohh!" in Go Go Racer. Even later scenes have subtle variants of the three-gasp combo, usually split between multiple characters.

Bubble Shield: At the start of the film, Timmy asks his fairy godparents to materialize elements from his favourite cartoon, which he uses to replicate action scenes he had watched. When his stunts send him on collision course with an airplane, he quickly wishes to be surrounded in a Banzai Bubble, which bounces harmlessly against the vehicle. It makes a reappearance during the film's final battle, when Vicky conjures it to deflect one of Timmy's energy blasts.
