remember when Vicky was nice to Tootie?

This is from a Fairly Oddparents short that aired in 1999. It was Tootie's first appearance, and Vicky was nice to her in it.

The idea of Vicky being the mean type of babysitter but still somewhat chill and an overprotective big sis would've been better than her just being straight up evil for no reason.

Dang, it’s kinda sad that Vicky would go from being chill and overprotective of Tootie to just outright being mean to her.

Honestly, I would have dug this character dynamic more. It would have been a cool contrast, seeing Vicky being the cartoonishly malicious babysitter to the kids in her neighborhood, but being the overprotective cool big sis to Tootie. Maybe even taking advantage of the fact that her little sister is considered annoying/creepy to the rest of the kids in her school to her advantage by using her to torture the kids she babysits by making them be friends with her. That would have been both despicable and hilarious.

-Cosmo with his orginal voice
-Cosmo being street smart (not an idiot), and Wanda being book smart dynamic
-Cosmo and Wanda having healthy relationship
-Vicky being nice to Toodie only
-Toodie being more integral to the plot...
All glems on left on the chopping room floor.. sad to see

Something about Vicky actually caring about Tootie but still uses her as a torture for Timmy is pretty funny to me

[beanie]

I kinda wish they'd kept the idea of Vicky being nice to Tootie.
It'd be funny seeing Vicky acting all malicious and fearsome with others but then act more chill with Tootie at the same time. She could've used Tootie's crush on Timmy against him too. 😂😂

[CesarACastillo]

I gotta agree with the general consensus that Vicky being nice to Tootie but the spawn of Satan with everyone else would’ve made for some interesting storylines in many episodes

[LabMatt]

Vicky is nice to Tootie
The other kids are mean to Tootie
So Vicky is mean to the other kids

That would have been such a cool dynamic

[aeroblu]

I do love the "even evil has loved ones" trope.

[TheDarkMewtwo]

The serious would've been a lot better if Vicky stayed like this tbh.

Like, imagine the twist about knowing that the meanest baby sister ever is actually protective with her own little sister.

Throw a little backstory of kids bullying Tootie for no reason making Vicky hate on all of them because of that.

[darrylferguson]

As much as i like 'pure evil' Vicky, the pilot version of Vicky just feels more fleshed out.

She isn't mean to her sister, but is a monster to all the kids she babysits, but at the same time takes advantage of how people find her little sister annoying or creepy

[kevinrosario]

Flanderization hit Vicky real bad. It would have been more interesting to see her be nice to Tootie rather than her being downright abusive. She went from a being a mean teenager to becoming the anti-christ.

Honestly this is a great balance for Vicky's characters. She's nice to her little sister and uses her to torment Timmy

[treehugger]

If I remember correctly, Vicky was also fiercely protective of Tootie in the comics. I remember a comic where Timmy was dismissive of Tootie, and Bicky responded by going on a warpath.

[NicolasMHarrison]

She’s probably just like “no one scares my family but ME!” And “oh, this will really scare the twerp.”

[emilyofjane]

This show would’ve aged so much better if they stuck with the pilot interpretation of the characters

[HarmonySword]

I remember an episode where Vicky was afraid of getting in trouble with her parents. But the Channel Chasers movie reveals they are afraid of her. So another bad retcon

[codafett]

I much prefer early Vicky over the 1-dimensional character we get a little later.

[Pocket_of_Explosives]

I missed this. It honestly worked with her being legit nice to her little sister so adults would see her as a great babysitter and giving her the chance to be evil towards their kids. Only nice to my kin kind of vibes

[ggcrickle]

I wish we had gotten this more. This looks so much better. Evil babysitter and protective big sister.
