LOST First Fairly OddParents Episode Commentary | Cartoon Review | Butch Hartman 

I don’t know why I went into a laughing fit hearing Cosmo go “We’re magic- oo. Magic- oo.” But I did. That delivery was borderline iconic.

Cosmo's crown placement on Mr. Hartman's shirt is bugging me

I miss cosmo's old voice. Especially when he says "Magic, Ooh! Magic, Ooh!" I love that line.

I like how Wanda refers to Timmy as a "client" in the pilot, and how in the main series, their relationship develops into an actual parental and nurturing one. May've been unintentional, but it feels like character development to me.

The first and last appearance of Vicky's brother is him screaming... I feel like it's safe to say he's dead. XD

*Were Timmy’s parents originally going to be those extremely frustrating characters whose faces you never see?*

"We're magic, ooo!" *Throws dust in face* "We're magic ooo!" *Throws dust in face* Hilarious

The pilot really cleared up the seemingly random things in the intro. So thats neat.

Vicky's evilness in the pilot is WAY scaled down compared to the series, reminds me of how much Voldemort was made less evil in the harry potter movies

I really like Cosmo's old voice

Rest In Peace, Mary Kay Bergman ❤️ Edit: I knew who she was from watching South Park and found out about her death after the appearance of her last character that she played, Rebecca Cotswolds (who never reappeared on the show due to Mary Kay’s death.) I had no idea she was on the pilot for Fairly Odd Parents, although she did voice act for many different projects.

3:39. "I would never let animation like this pass through.". Then what's with new F.O.P. being made in frickin flash animation!?

Boy I remember how mind-blown I was when I found out Mom and Dad shared voice actors with Cosmo and Wanda. It's like it added a layer of nuance to the show. I don't know if that was intended, but it's cool. Not totally relevant, but I was also totally mind-blown when I realized Johnny Frost on iZombie is Daran Norris!

I can see how you established the theme song to the stand alone series from this pilot.. Giant snake Birthday cake haha

Cosmo went reverse puberty? His old voice was H O T. Also. Timmy ain’t a squirt he’s a T W E R P. And. W hat ever happened to Vicky’s B R O T H E R? Why was he T A K E N O U T. Finally. Ive been a fan for Y E A R S. Lastly. D I N K L E B U R G.

Chocolate shake,giant snake Where else have we heard that?

I'm so sad that the original Timmy voice died :( Also Tootie being a brother instead is so different

1. This animation is, in my opinion, 1,000,000,000x better than flash animation. 2. Cosmo's original voice was so much nicer to listen to. 3. I think the magic 9 ball is much more creative than going to a pet store. 4. I absolutely miss the old Cosmo and Wanda. This is when they were still two halves of a whole idiot. 5. Cosmo was funnier when he sounded all suave and masculine. 6. This show should've ended if not at Channel Chasers, then after season 6 or 7 while it still had some dignity. 7. COSMO WAS SO MUCH BETTER WITH THE DEEPER VOICE!

I missed Cosmo’s used car salesman voice

The original animation style reminds me a lot of Dexter's Laboratory!

So Timmy's asleep, she wakes him up, then tells him to go to sleep. Smart.

Remember when Vicky was neutral evil? Pepperidge Farm remembers

That pet store idea is too cliche. I like this one way better I actually really like the pacing here. I find modern cartoons to have way too fast pacing. I love Cosmos old voice and I really like the interactions between Cosmo and Wanda I got used to the animation after the first couple episodes so even if it wasn't refined, I wouldn't mind it like this. It obviously turned out nicer in the offical first season.

The art style reminds me of "Dexter's laboratory"

I saw this originally. I remember the Titanic joke because I just sat through it. Three times, at our local movie theater. I empathize with Timmy here. I did watch a lot of the first few seasons, along with Danny Phantom. The pilot was a sign of things to come. :)

I just love how delayed Butch's reaction is to Wanda's nickname for Cosmo. The episode has already moved on, and Butch just quietly says "Stallion..."

Timmy: I think I'm calling the cops 😂😂😂😂

OMG COSMO IS SO DIFFERENT

I like how much of the original pilot is in the opening. 💖💖🔥🔥👌👌

Wow i forgot all about Cosmo's voice

Hearing Cosmo's old voice was a blast of nostalgia! I definitely liked it a lot.

So it was TIMMY’S fault Vicky stuck around as his babysitter!

Hey Butch...do you have a Danny phantom pilot episode...now I would LOVE to see that😁

I saw this once. Looking back, I can see why it took off. 98% of it was crazy random stuff, but it was done well.

Wanda: Well, atleast we'll be clean. Butch: (Gives a "you know what they're gonna do" gestures)

"It's only got 400,000 miles" Why did this make me laugh so hard?

I love when Cosmo goes, "We're Magic. Ooh Magic, ooh" 😂😂 so iconic

Butch, I remember watching the pilot episode of Fairly Odd Parents when I was about 4 years old! I loved it then and I loved that cartoon throughout my entire childhood. Fairly Odd Parents saw me through some super sad times, so thank you for making my childhood fun.

I miss cosmo's old voice! He seemed more funny when he sounded lower instead of the higher voice, but the pilot and the show was amazing!

Boy, does this bring back memories! I was seven years old when this came out. Even after 20 years, the pilot still holds up: both comedy, and character-wise. If I had erased from my mind that I had ever heard of _The Fairly Odd Parents_ , and I saw this with a fresh pair of eyes, I would definitely say, "I want more of this!". The animation for this pilot is very stiff, and stretchy compared to what the show eventually became, but, overall, it was a great starting point establishing the characters, rules, and story in that limited amount of time.

It's been almost 20 years since The Fairly Oddparents Shorts aired on Oh Yeah Cartoons. RIP Mary Kay Bergman aka the original Timmy Turner may she Rest In Peace. God Bless Her.

I support this new series. You are officially christened as a REVIEWER. Now go! Review as you dare! MWAAAAHAHAAAAH

Cosmo: *slaps Da Rules* "This bad boy can fit so many rules in it"

For the going to the pet store part, like you said, it wouldn't make any sense, like why now did he go and not before, that would be a quite stupid purpose, but what could of worked is that Timmy always had fish but Vicky flushes them, or even better, use the fish as a topping, either way though, and he ends up going to the pet store to get new fish and those fish ended up being Timmy's Fairy Odd parents. P.S I only watched until the part where you mentioned about the pet store when typing this, I didn't know Vicky would say that, I watched the pilot before but not this far, but that would of worked perfectly if Vicky flushes his first fish.

I have vague memories of this pilot I think. I only saw it once on TV years ago.

I remember watching this pilot on television the first time 20 years ago as a kindergartner thinking, “yeah I wanna be just like Timmy someday.” I thought it was the greatest shows that got me through elementary school. I always liked Chester and AJ too. Overall, still think it would stand the tests of time 20 years later. I’m curious if you would ever do a revised version of this pilot.

I love how Timmy uses wishes to torture Vicky

Vicky:I’m your baby sitter! Wanda: *turns to giant baby* goo goo

It's so amazing how much the Fairly OddParents has changed since 1998! It started out as a hobby project you made that had potential, and then it evolved into an amazing cartoon of my childhood! However, slowly but surely, the show started to go downhill! Sadly, the show will never be the same as it was! At least Spongebob is recovering from it's dark era! But you make a good point! Developing the show can be very fun! Btw, when will you draw more Pokemon? Your first Pokemon drawing video has had over 25K likes for a long time now!

The theme song makes sense to me now. Also I don't get what was so terrible about the animation, though it could be that since I'm not an animator I just don't see these things.

being a 90's baby having the orange nickelodeon cassette tapes i remember watching this over and over thinking to myself what channel was oh yeah cartoons

"Magic ohh" "Magic ohh"

That's definitely Mary doing the voice of Timmy . But from what I recall I think the pilot got re dubbed after a few years because I do remember seeing this specific official pilot shown with Tara's voice .

I think the one big change I would make would be to have never added Chloe. She just... doesn't work. I really don't think the idea that her needing to share fairies with Timmy due to a fairy shortage made sense after fairy overpopulation was made such a huge deal as a reason why fairies weren't allowed to have kids (barring Timmy wishing for Poof); her reason for needing fairies in the first place just seems equally as undeserved, to me. Overall, FOP was a big part of my childhood and I have soooooo many fond memories of this show.

7:16 Fairies popping out of the magic 9 ball is so iconic though.

I remember watching this pilot! This was one of my favorite shows growing up. Even my mom loved watching it, she still sings the theme song

Aw, I actually really enjoyed the pilot! :-) I think it definitely reflected a typical 90s cartoon. I feel like it carried so much more character. But I definitely loved the earlier seasons on FOP.

Oh man I remember when this first aired. So many memories. I love it!

10 thing got replace or change 1 Dad & Mom art 2 Vicky's brother 3 Cosmo's voice is a little bit off 4 Da Rules's color 5 Timmy's hair is a little bit red 6 Vicky seems not scary or is it just me ? 7 Usally in the serie Timmy Cosmo and Wanda should have the same tall 8 Cosmo was a little bit SMART 9 Wanda wasen't serious 10 It looks like the artwork for the show is like Tom and Jerry

1. I didn't realize that Wanda's goldfish design was darker than Cosmo's. 2. Cosmo and Wanda seemed a lot happier back then. They were so cute and flirty, like when parents are being coy and the kids don't pick up on it. Then, when the running joke just became Wanda being a nag and Cosmo being an idiot, they seemed to be annoyed with each other more. "Why was this the honeymoon phase and why did it have to end?" "Because character development." lol.

The pilot of this is just like the first episode of Adventure Time. It's random, but has some sort of plot to it that can be hard to find at first. And, just like the first episode of Adventure Time, I absolutely love this. I saw the series a few years after it came out. Remember those small screens with the very tiny disks they used to have? The first thing my mom bought for me was the pilot and first two episodes of the show and I absolutely fell in love with it. At my dads house I turned on the TV and went to the Nick channel and saw the title of the show. I watched it until I couldn't watch it no more and it was the best time of my life. Years later I find Danny Phantom and Tuff Puppy, and after a while realized that they both were made by the famous Butch Hartman, creator of The Fairly OddParents. My childhood had finally been complete, with a little Invader Zim, Adventure Time, and Winx Club in it. Plus some little Nick shows here and there that I wish hadn't been canceled.

Man, I loved this back in the day. Honestly I love old Cosmo's older voice, it just made every line naturally funnier, and he was genuinely very witty.

I remember how hard it was to get use to Cosmo having a high pitched voice

Thank you so much for doing this! It was so inspiring!

So, a quarter of Tara Strong’s work was the result of the original voice actor DYING?!

The pilot reminds me a lot of Cow & Chicken, both in the animation style of the backgrounds and how the parent's are never shown. I actually refer this version of Cosmo to the current nit-wit, and the dynamic of the fairies' characters was really fun. The current versions feel a lot... flatter? Anyway, loved it.

Cosmo sounds so different now. Cosmo in the pilot sounded a lot more like Mr. Turner. Overall Cosmo and Wanda have higher voices now than in the pilot.

I totally remember the pilot. classic episode

If you had done the thing where Timmy buys fish at a pet store and those turn out to be the fairies, than 2 things: 1) it would look like Timmy had gotten fairies out of pure luck 2) how would you then develop the whole thing where fairies are assigned to kids in need? Would you make it so they used magic to make Timmy get those particular fish?

I'VE LITERARY WATCHED THIS EPISODE AT LEAST A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES IN MY LIFE..... BUTCH.... YOU ARE MY CHILDHOOD!!!🤘😁😭❤️👍

I remember watching these when they aired. These were my favorite Fairly Odd Parents episodes. And I loved Cosmos older voice, he sounded witty. 😁

8:12 Not gonna lie, I loved how you remade this scene and used it in the first Fairly OddParents Movie.

I forgot about Cosmo's original sexy voice.

And here's where I'd put my second episode. .....IF I HAD ONE!!

The first season of TFOP will always be legendary.

I personally prefer the original Cosmo voice. Just saying.

This channel is refreshing !!! Something completly opposite that youtube has become these days, lot of vlogers drama, diss tracks , etc. I am so glad i found your channel recently and i cant stop watching ! When i was younger i also used to come up with my original characters, but for some reason i stopped drawing and now ,you are inspiring me to start drawing again. I am sorry to say i grow up watching CartoonNetwork , since back at my place there wasn't cable tv which could offer more different cartoon channels, but tnx to internet i can watch OddParents now :P Thank you for your videos, and excuse my bad eng :)

It's funny how the ball contained magical beings,yet gave Timmy a stupid answer

I love Cosmos voice! I also love Cosmo and Wanda cute relationship. The animation reminds me a lot of Dexters lab ☺

I remember years ago in germany Nick once had a time, where they showed some old cartoon pilots of current, old and shows who didn't made it. This one came multiple times.

i haven't seen this pilot in years but i remember seeing it back in the late 90s this show has evolved a lot. unfortunately it kinda overstated its welcome. dont get me wrong the show it great but once that dog sparky came in the picture i lost interest after that. spongebob has the same issue i really dont know how its still going after 20 years...

I LOVE THE PILOT! IT'S SO FUNNY AND IT HAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL!😉

Oml cosmos voice

Butch when Cosmo was the train that was a reference to Thomas the tank engine

I remember Cosmo having the exact same voice in the first couple of episodes

The old Timmy Turner had more character and Vicki was less violent

I LOVE THE PILOT EPISODE!! You did a great job explaining that.

I remember watching these episodes way back then and I loved them, watching them again brings back much nostalgia, thanks for your work Butch. Also I loved Cosmo’s old voice and miss his sense of humour

I want a copy of the Da Rules book :(

Something about the animation in this is far more paced and frame-heavy with the in-betweens. It was fantastic!

Old Cosmo is the best Cosmo. Change my mind

Only yesterday did I learn about Season 0 and I must say, I love it a lot more! (To think I'm 5 years older than this show lol) Cosmo and Wanda's dynamic is so entertaining and cute at the same time, rare to find something like it recently. His suave and witty manner is fascinating too!

Cosmo was smart way back then.

Interesting how the voices change over the years. That goes for every cartoon that has been on the air for awhile.

I totally saw the pilot. I've always remembered the first time I saw it, during Oh Yeah Cartoons. I remember seeing it and *Wishing: I wish this was a cartoon series. Love the star wars references.

I still remember seeing this pilot back in 1998 when I was 7. The old animation makes me feel nostalgic of the old days of Nick.

I actually prefer the old Cosmo voice compared to what it is now

That was 20 years ago!

I always loved Cosmos original voice

I almost never see pilots until long after the main series airs.
