It's A Wishful Life is the tenth episode of Season 5.

Plot
Timmy tries to do many good deeds for people, but nobody appreciates his work. Angry, Timmy Turner wishes that he had never been born and therefore, becomes nonexistant. Jorgen von Strangle shows up and shows Timmy how much worse, or better, everyone's lives would be without him. Jorgen tells Timmy unless he finds somebody whose life is worse without him, he'll be sent to a place where people go when they wish that they were never born, so Timmy tries to find somebody's life who is like that.

Synopsis
The episode opens with Timmy Turner doing good deeds for the various people in his life including painting scenery for one of Mr. Bickle's stage plays, giving A.J. a new high tech computer and cleaning Cosmo's and Wanda's fish bowl. Instead of praising him, or indeed thanking him, every person complains that it is not good enough and in fact several times heavily criticize the job he's done. Angry over the treatment, Timmy wishes he were never born. Wanda reluctantly grants the wish. Jorgen Von Strangle appears in this alternate timeline and shows Timmy that everyone is INDEED better off without him. For example, Chester now lives in a triple wide trailer and has Cosmo and Wanda as his fairy godparents, A.J. has a full head of hair, and is now in College, and Francis is no longer a grey skinned bully, but a tan skinned football player who actually helps weaker kids instead of bullying them. Jorgen tells Timmy unless he can find someone who's life is worse off without him, the boy will have to go to "a place where all kids who wished they were never born" go. Timmy at first tricks Jorgen to escape him, however upon reflection, he does decide that everyone is better off without him, and offers to voluntarily go to the place Jorgen describes. It is then that Jorgen reveals this has all been a test, or rather a lesson, to teach Timmy that good deeds are not done for praise, but because it's the right thing to do. Jorgen, then, returns Timmy to the correct timeline with Timmy taking Cosmo and Wanda's fishbowl to clean it up. Cosmo and Wanda notes that his attitude seems to have changed for the better. Even for his godparents to end the episode.
