Anyways, let's start!
This episode starts off with the kids playing at the school.
Timmy reminds everyone that it's March 15th, which is a bad day for the kids because Crocker
is at his worst on that specific day.
Firstly, Timmy saying this is a little detail that makes me kinda smile.
You see, when the main character is reminding everyone, it's pretty relatable that our
specific main character is the smart one to remind everyone about an important day of
the year.
On the other hand, the kids' reactions are so huge, and everyone is scared.
So you'd think some kid out there would have like remembered or set an alarm or something!
It's not a big problem, but little things add up.
And also, why are all the kids of the school freaking out?
Why are the little kids scared?
I mean, Crocker does only teach Timmy's class, right?
And even if he doesn't, he doesn't teach every single class in the entire school!
And wait, how do the kids know that he's meanest on that particular day?
Why would they care enough to remember every day and Crocker's level of rage.
And they've only known him for what?
A year?
Two years?
Even if Crocker was obviously meanest on March 15th, why would anyone remember until the
next year to continue the pattern?
This doesn't make any sense, but I mean, nothing is perfect.
So, after just hiding, the kids flee to the school when Mr. Crocker arrives and gets out
of his van.
When he gets there, we see his highest peak of spitefulness.
He uses a magnet to hurt Chester's teeth, he hits A.J. with a cheap pun, and he puts
Timmy in the middle of rabid dogs with a dunce hat.
Timmy asks Crocker why he's doing this, and Crocker yells about how he's a miserable
loser working as a school teacher.
His words not mine.
Then, Timmy decides to go back in time to see how Crocker turned out this way.
The dogs were previously chained, but when Timmy shows them Cosmo and Wanda as squirrels,
the chains just magically disappear.
We go to Crocker's house where his mom makes him a cake and when Crocker is mean to her
she says: (video).
Okay, that is hypocritical and unmeant.
We later see that Crocker's mom was pretty mean and careless to Crocker as a child.
Like Timmy now.
So, no Crocker's mom, he isn't a ball of sunshine because of YOUR carelessness.
And then Crocker says: (video) Well actually, March 14th was the happiest day of your life,
so that's an exaggeration.
So Timmy wishes he had his old time scooter and they travel to 10 years ago when he wasn't
yet born.
And the parents expected a daughter, which explains the pink hat and Dad says: (video)
You know, I didn't like It's A Wishful Life for a reason!
And then we see how Dinkleberg moved next door.
When Mr. Turner threw his for sale sign into Dinkleberg's future lawn, which no one currently
resides.
Yes!
So next time Mr. Turner says something about Dinkleberg, I'm gonna say that it was his
fault.
Then Dinkleberg says what a better house theirs is, which makes me wonder why the Turners
didn't buy it, and they go in, ending their presence with this: (video) Then, they follow
Crocker in the 1990's to the school.
(video) Hahahaha, that's funny.
Also, Waxoplax's name is Geraldine, that explains too much!
But they see that even in the 90's, Crocker was still obsessed with fairies.
(tmnt monster hunter obsess vid) Hey, cut that out!
(sped up vid) AHHHHHHHH!
Okay, so then they go to the 80's.
The jokes they tell are hilarious and the stuff you'd expect from this show.
Stuff like Timmy's clothes to the people and the door opening.
We see that Crocker has some big news and he's telling the world today.
And we see that Mr. Turner was a janitor at 20.
We also see that Timmy's Mom was with Dinkleberg in the 80's.
The health organization and government are also there to fund Crocker for research and
his scientific discoveries.
And then we see how Chet Ubetcha shrunk.
Apparently, the 80's cellular phone radiation shrunk him, and not anyone else.
Wait, wasn't his apparent short size a genetic thing?
Whatever.
But what I notice when writing the script of this video is that this is a big fan servicey
special episode.
It gives a lot!
So we finally see Crocker's presentation.
Time: 10 minutes in.
I think 13 minutes is where to go to the real March 15th, it's good pacing, a bit more
process time in the episode than solution time.
Anyway, we see that even 20 years into the past, Crocker is still fairy obsessed.
His presentation uses only pictures of Cosmo and Wanda for some reason, and it's not
the old ones that were his fairies, because their art styles were different.
Instead, he has close up pictures of the 80's Cosmo and Wanda, which look a lot like the
present day Cosmo and Wanda for some reason.
And they're right in the camera, like he was taking pictures and suddenly they came
in front of the camera lens for him to get this or something.
Yeah, plot holes.
The granddaddy of bad writing!
But, I mean, it's not a bad episode…yet.
After he finishes, the entire crowd laughs at him, and here is where I start to kinda
feel bad for Crocker.
Anyway, we see that Dinkleberg dumps Mrs. Turner and Mr. Turner meets her for the first
time here.
Or was it that time where he had to win a race to get the girl, oh no, it was that time
where he sent her a ransom love letter.
Come on, Fairly OddParents, make up your fricking mind!
Then, Timmy and fairies go back another 10 years to the 70's: Crocker's childhood.
And remember when I said it's best to start the childhood segment around 13 minutes?
Well, yeah, we go back to Crocker's childhood at 12 and a half minutes!
So, great pacing to the writers!
We start with a joke about Cosmo being smart, pretty normal and concise humor that you'd
expect from the show.
And, if you were wondering, yes, I did laugh at Cosmo saying he broke a record with him
being right once.
Then, we see that Mr. Turner as a kid, still Dinkleberg obsessed as he skateboards into
the street, which he for some reason stays in the middle of, to be presumably crushed
by a truck, as Crocker saves him.
This is also where Waxoplax as a kid forms a crush over Crocker.
Crocker also becomes famous for saving a child from presumable death and the next day –March
15– is declared Denzel Crocker day.
Also, the jokes they tell with the times are really funny, like the 70's has smiley faces
everywhere.
Comedy like this makes this just much more enjoyable!
Anyway, Crocker goes home to his Mom to give us some more back-story.
We see that Mrs. Crocker, as previously mentioned, ignores him and doesn't care about his achievement,
and leaves him with his Vicky-alternate babysitter.
This tells a lot of story though!
Crocker and Timmy are alternates!
Wow!
Like they're both miserable, bad parents, mad babysitter, fairies!
And if you think I'm going on about nothing, Timmy legitimately says this himself.
Oh and with the fairies thing, yeah, he has Cosmo and Wanda.
And when Timmy questions this, they say that they don't remember that they were Mr. Crocker's
fairies at some point, but they DO remember that March 15th was the worst day ever, for
some reason, even though we later see that they got brainwashed multiple times after
the events of March 15th, and that even though they don't remember anything else, they
still remember that the day was the worst.
Eh, okay, never mind.
Cut to the next day, finally March 15th, 1972.
For the last time you will want to hear that date for the rest of your life.
Again, you wanna start the climax at the least possible time if you want to have good pacing.
And they do, time: 17 minutes.
Anyway, we arrive at the Denzel Crocker ceremony, where Crocker gives a goofy, egotistical speech
and Timmy is there watching.
Then, we get I think the worst thing in this episode: Cosmo.
Specifically Cosmo's idiocy.
And Wanda's absence cause this.
And the problem on the writers' part is the reason we get Wanda's absence.
Let me explain.
So the 70's Wanda apparently wants to get some granola to celebrate, even though they're
fairies and can literally poof up some granola or whatever plot device you need, but whatever.
If poofing it required more time or explaining which you couldn't have, fine.
But at least put some more effort into Wanda's absence which would later affect everything.
Then, we get the same thing with the present Cosmo and Wanda.
So Timmy tells Wanda to kill the power while he gets Crocker out of there, even though
he could again easily poof.
But we need a plot device for Cosmo to be an idiot.
But I'll admit the dialogue and excuse here is at least better than "getting granola
to celebrate"!
So, this is the climax, *deep breath*, let's do this.
So old Cosmo goes and almost reveals his fairy-ness and Timmy stops him.
And Wanda shut the power AFTER these events, even though, again she could've poofed it.
And wait, if she poofed it earlier, this plot would be legitimately the same.
If old Cosmo blurted out Denzel's secret, that doesn't mean that Denzel did it, so
why lose his fairies?
Then again, later Timmy is the one to blurt it out and it does get him to lose his fairies,
but Cosmo isn't a human, he's a fairy, different story.
Second, present Cosmo later switches the power back on, and Wanda isn't there to stop him,
which means even if Wanda poofed the power off, it would be the same, heck even better!
Anyway, as present Cosmo switches the power, Timmy blurts out in excruciating detail that
Crocker has fairies.
Although his detail is questionable, props to the team working on this for actually making
Denzel losing his fairies pretty emotional.
From Timmy's words repeating on the mic, to the color pallet layer they decided to
use, to the music they decide to play, to the falling of the rule book, to even Jorgen's
voice.
Anyway, as Jorgen lectures Denzel, Timmy wishes he was hidden.
And even though Denzel clearly saw and even stated that Timmy has fairies, nothing happens
to Timmy.
Jorgen erases everyone's memory but Denzel, without Jorgen looking at him for like 20
seconds, writes a reminder to his future-self that fairies exist.
This is one of the small touches in this I really enjoy.
Because we ultimately need a reason why Crocker is always fairy-obsessed from that day on.
And small nitpick, but if Jorgen erased everyone's memories and literally everything that has
to do with him having fairies and knowing about them, so why doesn't that erase his
writing on the back of the DNA scanner thing?
Then we see a quite sad yet quite cool transformation as Crocker turns dark and evil.
And when Jorgen leaves, the town turns on him, which I find quite cruel and unneeded.
You see, Jorgen said that he's erasing everyone's minds of the SITUATION and erase all the things
he wished with his fairies.
But Denzel saved Mr. Turner earlier by himself, right?
If he did, this doesn't make sense.
If he didn't but used fairies, we needed to know that earlier or had some foreshadowing
or SOMETHING!
Timmy leaves and Crocker goes to presumably live a cold miserable life opening a candle
shop in Alabama.
Then we go back to the present as Timmy looks through some pictures of Crocker he shouldn't
have and Cosmo says and I quote "At least you gave him a life-long hobby!"
Well, technically it was you Cosmo, and second, yeah!
So just like Turner and Dinkleberg, next time Timmy complains about being miserable, I'll
remember to play this episode for him.
And the episode ends with a joke.
So, that's that.
So, what are the main pros and cons with this episode?
Well, there is a lot of funny jokes in this and the plot is pretty decent and well thought
out.
The characters, for the most part, are pretty well done, and the dialogue is okay.
The pacing is pretty smooth and there weren't any rushed or too slow moments.
A lot of moments were pretty memorable and classic, such as Crocker's hilarious moments,
the ending pictures or some of the jokes like Cosmo hitting Timmy with the oar.
If you want to do your own little checklist, check out my Super Discussions on what are
the fundamentals of storytelling!
It helped me write this script a bit faster!
Some cons are that, there were a lot of annoying plot-holes, mostly from the dialogue and sub-plots
sprinkled on this episode, such as the Chet Ubetcha shrinking scene.
But also from the main plot as well, like Denzel losing his fairies in the first place
when it was TIMMY who said it because he came back in time, or how if he saved Mr. Turner
by himself, with no magic, how everyone turns on him.
These are really the only things that bring this episode down.
Otherwise, a pretty solid and well-made episode!
So, is this a good episode?
Well, I did enjoy watching it and some of the jokes where pretty funny.
It brought a lot of fan service with it and that made really enjoyable.
But there were a lot of plot-holes that were super crucial to the plot.
But, in terms of the video, I'd say it's still a good episode/special and I would give
it 7.5 out of 10.
Anyways, don't forget to leave your thoughts on the episode in the comments down below,
