This joke from Season 5 of the Fairly OddParents aged poorly…

It's as if a writer saw the future and decided to send us a warning

[Moon-nkco]

The writers took one look at this episode and thought:

“What a great idea!”

[Cd-xymq]

i liked the classic "uhhh the internet?" line. best catchphrase from the first seasons

[baggelissonic]

I honestly really liked the Poof focused episodes. It also made sense in the story. Seeing Timmy take on a older brother role for once and learning about responsibilities

[UMAtronic]

You cannot tell me this wasnt just a writer being pissed off at the declining quality.

[Mr_Muda_Himself]

This wasn’t poorly age, this was just foreshadowing.

[FilthyTea]

Oh hell nah they turned AJ into a monkey… 💀

[bdepalm]

It was most likely that Nickelodeon was already pushing for these changes to boost ratings and this was the writers venting about it before eventually caving so the show doesn’t get canceled.

Hot Take: I actually liked Poof. It was the Dog that I jump ship. Never even saw anything with that girl.

[deaththakid]

It was a legal requirement for every cartoon in the 2000s to have a simon Cowell parody

[amesstarline]

In a way, even the "purple hat" ended up happening- with Timmy's pink clothes slowly becoming more of a maroon, especially in later era. That and how Chloe did sort of replace Timmy's friendgroup.

"What could possibly go wrong?"
i hear a Bobcat calling wanting their catchphrase back

[fredbloxworth]

The scene with Chester and AJ getting turned into monkeys is pretty sad in hindsight when you realize they'll be reduced to background characters in later seasons.

[thelastwindwaker]

It wasn't a good sign when Timmy's catch phrase was the one used by Bubsy.

[zachflakerton]

The writers were fans of the Simpsons and they saw Poochie as a blueprint rather than a warning.

[DianaGohan]

According to Butch Hartman recently Poof was a character that he apparently had in mind for awhile having always wanted Cosmo and Wanda to have their own kid in addition to Timmy and decided to introduce him as Nick wanted a special to kick off season 6 after extending the show but... how credible that is as a story is hard to debate. Though yeah the irony that in the episode the fairies didn't like Chester and AJ and the Exec wanted them replaced is ironic considering how quickly AJ and Chester were phased out in later years to focus on other characters.

[DJ_Mooster]

Poof and Foop aren't that bad cause they do actually have some fun moments but we don't talk about Sparky and Chloe

[jessetheanimenerd]

Ahhh...watching Mark criticize Butch's work never gets old.

[smb-cpo]

Poof and Foop were the only necessary additions, even Princess Man-Die was a great addition to the cast of characters.

[DecoytheSkeletalBoy]

The fact that his catchphrase was "What could possibly go wrong?" The same as Bubsy's, is simply perfect for this scenario. Even better when you consider that they probably wrote this without any knowledge of said game series.
