It’s kinda embarrassing how Ned’s Declassified, a show that came out almost 20 years ago, integrated Cosmo and Wanda better into live-action than this trainwreck.

At this point, we can all agree that the only thing that is keeping Nickelodeon "alive" is Spongebob. In other words, Spongebob is Nickelodeon's life-support.

I really can't imagine why this kid need fairies. She's beautiful, intelligent, have an ok family and a good house... Timmy was a mediocre student, had "ignorant" parents and got bullied by Francis and Vicky. He needed fairies more than her. Why not make the protagonist an unlucky child??

"Why is he front facing like that? They never did it in the original." They did. Once. In Season 2.

This sitcom feels like a sitcom parody inside of a sitcom, it genuinely looks like the most cliche thing, even with the animated characters.

I feel bad for the actors. Those kids were probably excited to appear on tv, but this is the show they end up acting in.

The most unbelievable part about the show is that Timmy gets into Princeton.

This revival is the living definition of "I expect nothing and I’m still let down"

Fun fact: According to the episode "Fairly OddParents: Odd Jobs/Movie Magic (2002)," Timmy's Dad is 42 years old.

When i was 10 i wrote a fanfic about adults getting anti fairies instead of fairies and having to deal with their bullshit everyday I genuinely think that this is better than the Odder thingy

I feel like Croker getting caught off-screen is both hilarious and realistic, like, you expect him to be a genuine threat but let's be real here, he's a 50-year-old man with no special abilities that would prevent his capture.

It's actually sad to see what Butch Hartman has become. He went from one of the most loved cartoonists to B*tch Hartman real quick.

They really didn't want this series to die but they ended up killing it in the most painful way possible by making this reboot. 🤡

The fact that one of the animators that worked on the show even said "eh whatever its just flash" really speaks volumes. NOBODY wanted to make this and not even the main gimmick of the show is important enough to put attention or passion into.

I love how she said "boo you guys, I'm going home!!" I guess the term "screw you" is too based for a nickelodeon sitcom despite the fact that nickelodeon sitcoms have done and said plenty of raunchy shit in the past.

I just imagine that the reason Cosmo and Wanda keep being so absent from this show is because they go and hang around with Timmy all the time, away from this show, and just come back for a few quick wishes every once in a while. It eases the pain.

I knew this was going to fail because in the trailers Cosmo’s VA sounded SO DEFEATED. As if he was forced to do this and was just half-assing it.

I feel like this happened cause one day Butch Hartman stumbled across Out Of Jimmy’s Head and started watching it and thought “This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen why hasn’t anybody done something like this recently I wanna make a show like that but how?” Then he got an idea… a truly awful idea. 😈

Fun fact: They couldn't even get Guy Moon back for this catastrophe. Even he didn't wanna touch this with a 1000 ft pole. So now Butch Hartman himself is doing the composing and you can hear the distinct difference.

I feel like they should have committed to actually making this a REBOOT. -Have completely new characters totally unrelated to Timmy -New Godparents -New rules that manage the scope and budget of the show, or make the magic more like genies where you don’t really get what you asked for (like if she wished to be taller they literally just put her on a ladder instead of pretending they actually made her taller) -Commit to being live action OR animated, but not both (it looks bad and they clearly don’t have the budget for it) If they divorced it more from the source material it’d give them room to try new things and also help avoid comparisons and having to keep up with the established canon (not that they were still doing that in the show but I digress) What’s the point in a reboot that’s basically the same thing but slightly to the left and also worse. If Disney can’t get it right neither can you.

I've seen multiple people say Cosmo and Wanda look like NFTs cartoons, and I hate how true it is

The show was so bad that when you played clips from it I genuinely almost willingly clicked off the video because I immediately understood your point and didn’t want to suffer through this show anymore.

What this screams to me is board executives too far removed from what kids would find entertaining, so they turn to anything that’s trending. Kinda like the Elsa gate thing that happened? (Except of course not weirdly sexual/fetishized) It just feels like they have no idea how to appeal to a younger audience and instead of bringing someone in who knows what they’re talking about, they do 5 minutes of research on Instagram and TikTok and call it a day

The “you got some ‘splaining to do” line is actually a reference to I Love Lucy. I wouldn’t be surprised if the person who put that reference in the reboot didn’t even know about the one in the original.

The animation looks really stiff and lifeless, really doesn’t translate well into the live action world either! Really wish Nick didn’t try to tamper with a perfectly good franchise for a cheap cashgrab…

Fun fact. If you look into the credits of the show you can find that in the animation department that there are 8 producers and literally only 1 animator outsourced from mexico. He's the guy you see in the opening scene of the first episode.

Have live actions remakes EVER worked well?? 🤔 How out of touch does Nickelodeon have to be to think this is what their audience wanted

Person: Breathes The canned laughter: *LAUGHTER INTENSIFIES*

Anyone remember the episode "Timmy TV" from the original show? It was basically making fun of the very idea of Fairly Odd Parents being a sitcom.

What’s important to remember is that it’s not the actors faults. They’re doing their bests with what they’ve been given by the show producers and creators/writers.

So who’s here after the show got deleted from Paramount+? Unlike Close Enough or Infinity Train tho, there aren’t a whole lot of mourners

14:31 this ACTUALLY LOOKS BETTER THAN FAIRLY ODDER! HOW?

It was never even a surprise after the trailer came out that this show was gonna be anything but awful

In my opinion, one of the only recent times that Nickelodeon has done well “rebooting” older IPs is with Enter the Florpus in 2019. While the movie isn’t as good as Invader Zim was in 2001, they did a fantastic job with the character redesigns and it was an enjoyable film. Although to be fair, IZ was never beaten to death.

The original show had a lot of creative freedom because animation allows you to express ideas that would otherwise be impossible. Yet a bunch of idiots decided to go live action for the FOURTH TIME. This reboot plus the Drake Bell movies became fundamentally broken from the very moment they were conceived.

I like how you mention that Wanda always calls Timmy sport, especially because there was an episode where she tells him why. She keeps calling him sport because fairy’s have really short memories or something, I don’t remember exactly why but I think that’s the reason

It's a shame how far this show has fallen, but I guess that's what happens You either end early or live to see yourself turn to shit

I’m not gonna lie the 2d Art pissed me off the most. I hate the little differences that ruin cosmo and Wanda’s designs like their eyes not even being the same shape or how rounded the line art is

Tfw Cosmo & Wanda in the Daydreaming episode of Ned's Declassified did more for the plot than the entirety of this show. I'm not even mad, I knew this was going to be a dumpster fire from the moment I saw it. :/

Why does Timmy (who’s an adult) still have fairies? Wasn’t the whole thing from “channel Chasers” is that when he grows up, he’ll forget them. He even aged up himself with the remote and completely forgot about them 🤷‍♀️

Trying to be "hip" and "trendy" is typical of modern Nickelodeon, so I am not surprised they tried to integrate that into the show.

It's depressing how The Fairly OddParents had its saddest legacy of Nickelodeon history, as if deep down the executives seems to not even care about the original series and just tried to cash in using the IP only for money, without understanding what made the original so good

I do like the idea of Fairy World being a cartoon world and the Earth being real life. However, they should have made Cosmo and Wanda live action too.

You know you've screwed up when the animation quality of the last few episodes of Season 10 of Fairly OddParents released in 2017 is better than the quality of a live-action remake of the show released in 2022. 10:27 They couldn't even lip-sync Cosmo's lips correctly in this scene! How did this show even get greenlit?! 12:39 And now they're saying "yeet." No matter how bad the jokes got in the original, they never descended into this type of humor.

Feels like nobody wanted to work on this. That this "show" was just a glimmer in some greedy executive's eye and now people are forced to put out this shit.

One of the biggest rules broken from the original that I haven’t seen many people talk about is that “If the godchild grows too old (usually around teenage years), the fairies are given new godkids.” So why does Timmy have fairies when he’s what appears to be 30?

10:53 that’s even more confusing than when Arthur referenced South Park lmao

Fun fact: In the episode where they went back in time, the South Park refrence wouldn't work, because they went back to 1996, and South Park wouldn't come out until a year later.

being a fairly odd parents fan these last couple years is a endless struggle and we will never be free from this suffering

From watching some of Nickelodeon's sitcoms from the 2010s, this show is exactly like one of them. It's got the overuse of memes, characters constantly yelling, stilted dialog, and the unfinished sets.

Nick can’t help but make their live action teenagers rooms , schools, and hang out spots look like the most rich places

17:16 Was this animated by the Nut Shack people?

I'm convinced at this point that Butch Hartman is your archenemy.

When I heard they were rebooting the series, I imagined the show would be a bit mature with a new Timmy as a kid again and being a bullied victim. The fairies is what makes the show overall a comedy. I would imagine the fairies as real actors. (I know the awful movies sorta did this but they would cast better actors and their designs match their look of the show. Kinda like those fan drawings you see where they look real.) But the kids would feel like real kids dealing with real things in life but still is overall a funny show. And the fairies would be supportive but cool parent figures for Timmy as LS Mark mentioned. Also, many of the wild things from the cartoon would unfortunately have to be pushed back because the movies showed that not everything works in live action, Especially Butch Hartman's art style. (Also this a TV show.) So you have to think of a different aesthetic or style with practical effects and sets. Tonally, it's like Even Steven or Unfabulous meets Beetlejuice. ...instead we got 12:41

This show is truly the Sonic 06 of The Fairy OddParents

Just a guess, but as an animator are you only experienced with Rigged animation?

When i heard a reboot was coming me and a friend thought it was going to be Poof. That Poof could just be the new fairy as a late teen interested in the business since he knew of miserable kids since one of them was practically his uncle. Regardless of how skilled he was, adding earnest to helping the kid he's with. Then even calling his parents as everyone's first kid isn't always easy. It can be as garbage as it wants, a new fairy on thier first kid.

I know people always joke like "what is LS Mark gonna hate next" but let's be real he's got it down this time

Vivienne doing a terrible Cartman voice and saying "Screw you guys I'm going home!" just broke my South Park fan heart.

I agree with the reasoning why Vivian didn’t need fairy godparents. As the original show displayed, Timmy’s life is basically one big hellhole. His school is filled with bullies, his teacher is a deranged man who likes giving him Fs, his only three friends are students who are just as unpopular as him, and whenever he goes home he is always having to be watched by Vicky who proves to be a total psychopath. Fairlyodd parents was essentially meant to be a deconstruction of the 60s-90s suburban life. Another thing you pointed out is how Timmy’s adventures were basically just aesops in the forms of adventures. You could basically say Cosmo and Wanda are Timmy’s mora guidance who teach him important lessons such as enjoying your youth while you can and not be selfish.

I feel like Cosmo's voice gets more obnoxious and drowsy every year.

Its still amazing to me how damn well Ned's declassified did the "live-action Cartoon" way better than anything I've still seen today. No laugh track, Tons of great and funny characters and good writing. I know its not animated but you should do a video on that series. Its the only thing I can confidently call a Live-action cartoon...cause it basically is just one, a damn good one at that.

Here, I have an idea for an actually kind of interesting reboot that would fit in with nick’s current very young-targeted writing style: Make Poof the main character. Imagine, poof isn’t a baby anymore and is now around 10-14. He’s in training to become a REAL fairy godparent. Most fairy godparents in training go to jorgen’s super intense fairy boot camp, but Timmy wishes/convinced him that poof will get better training with Timmy’s cousins. And instead of poof being animated, he has a live action “human disguise” that he uses to blend in. He’d go to school with Timmy’s cousins and the plots would be focused on a combination of poof trying to fit in with humans and the kids all making wishes.

I have a few ideas that I think could have helped the show: 1) switch the parents. You can keep the parent abruptly moving to dimmsdale on a whim but with the mom’s personality, it might make more sense. Plus, it can actually subvert the whole “step-parents are evil” trope if the father genuinely wants to connect with his step-daughter. This next idea would far more significant so just bear with me. 2) Have Vivian be the Mr Crocker of the show. She moves to the town and experiences how weird it is but she doesn’t get Fairy Godparents, some other kid in town has them, hell they don’t even have to be Cosmo and Wanda. She starts noticing strange things (the results of wishes) that nobody seems to question and eventually learns of the existence of fairies. The show is basically a mystery, sorta like a smaller-scale gravity falls with Vivian trying to find out why the town is so weird and eventually trying to prove the existence of fairies. You can even work in more lore for the fairy world such as how they deal with literally giving children the power of a god. Not saying it has to be super adult, but more mature than the original. After all, if it’s more of a continuation, it should be made with the original fans in mind.

Butch Hartman really can’t help but keep going on a downhill spiral with every new product he makes.

What would've worked is that if Viv's step-mom was just pure evil and cared more about her brother way more than her, have the brother not know about the Faires and haver Viv get bullied hard at school, that way her having faires makes more sense.

16:45 They look like when an adult cartoon like The Simpsons try to make the characters look "higher-budget" or something by giving them a shadow.

3:51 The animation reminds me of Goanimate

15:03 doesn't butch charge like $200 for his art? I'm pretty sure $200 is multiple times this show's budget.

_"Nickelodeon brings Fairly Oddparents back from the dead already? This could only be the work of..."_ *F A I R L Y O D D P A R E N T S*

This reminds me of the episode of ICarly where it became A TV show, and they slowly turned into A sitcom.

Front Facing Crocker was literally bone chilling 😬

Bless you for mentioning the “Yeet Yeet Mother-Daughters” line. It’s like they wanna be “edgy” but realize they’re making a Nickelodeon sitcom so they can only do so much.

I’m sure there was one person on the staff who actually cared about the original series and was like: “come on guys. You have to at least pretend you know about the original series…… F***k it, I’ll do the references myself.”

They have only one important rule, having a kid that feel miserable or neglect.

I feel like we’ve been over the lesson that you can’t recreate animation in strict live action, but here we go once again. I’m just glad these horrid big companies keep on strangling themselves with the shit they produce, hopefully they’ll die of asphyxiation soon enough.

Never before had I've seen a series where literally EVERYTHING was wrong! The special effects, the comedy, the writing, and shockingly the editing was just completely flawed in every aspect!

Fairly Odder: *exists* Mark to season 10 FOP: "Perhaps I treated you too harshly."

my favorite part about the timmy turner actor in this is actually a really great voice actor, playing zack fair in the recent final fantasy 7 remake. this show does him so dirty lol

15:41 i believe the analogy you’re looking for is Fantasia

Fairly odder feels like a fan project, and would be better if it was reimagined as a fan project

LS Mark: "I don't think Fairly Oddparents could get any worse." Butch Hartman: "Nonsense!" *MAKES THIS SHOW* LS Mark: "BUTCH NO!!"

Ned’s Declassified did the live action/animated Fairly Oddparents idea way better 15 years ago.

The animation just looks so... puppety? It looks like the frames in between are AI interpolated, it's so robotic and unnatural and if it's gonna be any part of the show it should have been better than that. Also live action and Fairly OddParents seems almost contradictory as the original series was SO animated, cartoon physics and impossible scenarios were the entire point so making a whole show with a low budget to try and do that is so strange to me.

Despite sonic fans being mad and calling LS Mark someone who “hates” everything, This reboot deserves all the hate. Just when Fairly Odd Parent can’t get any lower...

7:10 godparent is the person trusted to take care of a child in case their parents cant, so, they are literally godparent, but without parents concent.

This reboot just shows how uninterested Nick is in making something *good,* and how they only want to make something *marketable.* Meaning they’re not taking ANY risks and are avoiding ANYTHING that has nuance or complexity. They just took all of the most popular parts from every sitcom they released in the past 5 years and just keep adding new coats of paint on it.

Once again, live action Crocker carried. Vicky being a simp for him however... gross.

You see this could've been your generic sitcom about kids with access to magic. Think "Bewitched" but in the modern area. Hell they already have the setup. "Man marries his successful high school sweetheart who has a popular son." Just have the source of their good fortune be the result of some magical entity/power. That could explain how they suddenly met up and how they married so quickly. There's your show! But no. We couldn't do that. Because that doesn't have the almighty BRAND RECOGNITION that studio heads swoon over...

9:54 hearing cosmo in this clip was just immediate whiplash after hearing him in the clips prior

13:02 oh so like every sitcom ever?

It seems like Nickelodeon is just completely incapable of understanding the idea of "original content," and is only able to reboot their old stuff in the worst way possible, and is shocked whenever that fails. Edit: In addition, all of their live action stuff looks the same, like all their characters live in the super elaborate houses with fancy furniture. While it would be cool in real life to see it, it makes all their shows blend together. I would've thought the clips were from Victorious or Icarly if no one told me otherwise.

You know, it’d be more fun to have an anthology series showing different characters with godparents. Maybe with episodes that feature Cosmo and Wanda and one of the kids before Timmy. Also I could list characters that could need Fairy Oddparents. Jeri Katou Kenny McCornmick Bart Simpson Milhouse Butters Morty Smith

i haven’t watched this but i love Mary Kate Wiles (Vicky’s actress), so the fact that her character was one of the less awful aspects makes me happy

The way the show looks reminds me of the video "Spongebob in Real Life"

Why does the animation look like it belongs in Peppa Pig?

All I needed was to hear Cosmo and Wandas voices in a commercial to know how bad this was gonna be. I miss Cosmos FoP season 1 voice. I’m really sad to see his helium addiction has only gotten worse 😔

10:23 Did Cosmo just reference a line in the original show, that itself was a reference to “I Love Lucy”? Cosmo just referenced a reference

14:37 those old pc games look better in my opinion
