What Happened to Cosmo? 

I think it was partially due to sheer laziness on the writers part (or Butch's) and partially because they had to compete with Spongebob. I think both shows kept trying to out-dumb the other one and it spiraled out of control.

That Crocker impression sounded rough yet still quite good but holy fuck, that “Fairy God Parents” made me cackle.

That was a pretty solid Crocker impression

That's a very good imitation of Denzel Crocker.

I liked Cosmo best around Seasons 2-4. Ask him about politics, romance or Canada and he'll speak his infinite knowledge all day. He just doesn't know when to shut up and read the room. Where Butch Hartman failed, when he decided to make Cosmo more outlandish for comedy, was that he didn't seem to know the difference between "smart" and "wise;" that one character could be the most knowledgeable person in their circles AND the biggest fool at the same time. No amount of street smarts will save you if you're just THAT curious about a shiny red lever.

That Crocker impression was superb.

Huh. That was actually a pretty good Crocker impression at the end. Well done!

Very nice video. Since I plan on making animated shows in the future, I’ll take this as a cautionary tale. Also, that Mr. Crocker impression was awesome!

Solid Crocker impression 👌

Just uploaded as I started the veggie tale abridged video Even better a great topic about cosmo’s derailment

You do make a good point. I should diversify my style of humor. If I were to make a cartoon, I would use self referential humor, fourth wall breaking and some slapstick. Thank you for the advice.

fastest click in the west!

He used to be very suave lol

Well, it's really due a number of factors: - the crew changing from the first five seasons to where it was for season seven on, - the supporting cast getting cut down to only a handful, shifting many of the jokes to them, - the humor becoming a lot more homogeneous, - the crew over time losing the fun passion & spark, and treating it more like a job they have to do. I know this bit has nothing to do with the video's topic, but one example not often brought up is how Guy Moon's score also became homogeneous, to the point where many cues are reused over and over.

I have Fairy Godparents Oops. Not anymore now

In the first season Cosmo used to be a charming jazzy dude, personally I think it's that corporation network forcing this cartoon character to be stupid,?

I believe that to a degree, there may have been changes beyond Butch's control when it came to the show and its direction at a certain point

In channel chasers they made a joke about how in the Simpsons every adult gets "stupider". If that's the case then fairly odd parents is a show where everyone gets "stupider".

3:04 now you made me remember that they once had a crossover with the fairly odd parents

Ur editor(the app not the person) couldn't handle that great crocker impression which is why it broke this video and only backed up 1/3 of the video

I love Cosmo.

I watched FOP when it was on. And I realize in my later years that it's quality aside from the earlier episodes was, well, lacking in quality. BUT PEEEEYUGH THE SMOOTHNESS OF THE LATER SEASONS HAS ME ON EDGE FOR SOME REASON LIKE THE EDGE OFF A CLIFF LEADING INTO A VOLCANO, ITS ACTUALLY DOES ITSELF NO FAVORS.

What I noticed to is that cosmo voice changed a little too

Butch has stated in a interview that he made Cosmo dumber because he thought it was easier to write a stupid character than a smart character. Granted, we know he's capable of lying so....take that how you will

I think that another one thing that kill a development of a character more than flanderization is the status quo of a series Just remember that one dimensional character from a series that had some episodes that showed and established some afew interesting things about them that got you hooked up only for that being ignored or thrown away in the next episodes and pretending that didn't happened

Does anyone even know any characters during Seasons 9-10 that did not end up being given the one note idiot character treatment?

Didn't like the downgrade of Cosmo

Tbh, I think I already see the cracks for Cosmo even in earlier seasons. One of the episodes that made Cosmo really unbearable in terms of stupidity in earlier season was "Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker" where its mostly Cosmo's fault why Crocker is like this and instead finding Cosmo charming... Yeah, this episode made me really irritated with Cosmo. Also nice Crocker impression btw

What is that thumbnail? It looks trippy.

Butch happened.

I like the later seasons of FOP but I HATE the way Jorgen was characterized in season 10. He literally got bitched by a 10 year-old when he was once the toughest fairy in Fairy World

/j NOT THE CROCKER IMPRESSION

as Butch Hartman shows get dumber and dumber they become the cartoon equivalent of "Idiocracy"

Maybe you should check out Bunsen is a Beast. After all, there aren’t a lot of reviews on it.

Sheer laziness.

I'm sure the Simpsons seasons are only going to be worse, but you left off at S12; I hope you'd finish the TV Talks after 2 years.

Love ❤️ lol 😂 The Fairly Oddparents!

why are the captions only in korean?? lol

Nope, I don't have any FAIRY GOD PARENTS!

I'm done with butch's stuff because whatever unique or interesting thing he adds to his stories is eventually ruined by making them generic or stock. I'd you only hire John kricfalusi for gross out then you only hire butch for character templates. Then you add flavor because he certainly won't.

Timmy's intelligence fluctuated. He was always like that. He gets bad grades in school. He is pretty reckless and can be selfish at times but is heroic when he needs to be.

Super toilet sucked alot of smarts down the drain

Yeah cosmo was based

sarah frost left and the entire show went down hill

There's so much stuff from seasons 6-10 i will defend *to the death* And this is one of them! Agree to disagree, but I always hated Cosmo's "car salesman" voice.

Are you going to do an apology to the VTA loyal fans (or rabids as you call them)?

I'm more used to super dumb Comso. He is funnier that way. He is one of my favorite characters other than Poof, Tootie, Vicky, Trixie, and Crocker.

Cosmo changed because he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease

Actually, there really aren't any stupid characters in Bunsen is a Beast. Amanda Killman steals the show. She's the main villain. She is smart, mean, rich spoiled, and always the butt of the joke.

Also the newer animation just looks like shit.

Sometimes Flanderization is a good thing. It made Homer Simpson funnier.

I do not like what they did to Cosmo either Seeing him go from somewhat smart to dim with occasional moments of intelligence and then becoming a lethally stupid character just irritates me
