Crash Nebula (cartoon)

Crash Nebula is a cartoon within a cartoon in the The Fairly OddParents universe. Sometimes it is also depicted as a comic.

Within FOP
Crash Nebula is one of Timmy Turner's favorite TV shows on The Fairly OddParents. He is a parody of Buzz Lightyear. A.J. believes Crash Nebula is better than Crimson Chin. One Halloween night, Elmer dressed up as Crash Nebula, causing Tad and Chad to joke that he has "intergal-acne".

Real Life
Butch Hartman pitched the idea of the show to Nickelodeon in 2004. A pilot episode was created and shown as a 30-minute episode. Timmy watches the cartoon on TV and is not seen except at the beginning and end of the episode. The story shows how Sprig Speevak joined the space academy and found his space suit.

Nickelodeon decided against picking up the series, and the idea was dropped. With the departure of Steve Marmel (Crash Nebula co-creator) from the FOP staff and the mixed reviews the episode itself received, it is highly unlikely the series will ever be revived. Prior to the pilot episode's airing, FOP characters occasionally made reference to this show existing within their universe, as a way to hype the show up to the audience, but neither the show nor Crash Nebula have been mentioned since.
