Trivia

• This episode aired in Poland on May 26, 2011, before airing in the USA.
• This is the first appearance of Nana Boom Boom.
• This is the third time that Cosmo disguises himself as Timmy Turner. The first was in "A Mile in My Shoes", and the second was in "Channel Chasers".
• This is the only episode to feature Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda since Foop was born, although Foop does not appear with them in this episode, nor is he mentioned. This is also their last physical appearance in the original series.
• When Timmy disguises himself as Cosmo, he perfectly imitates Cosmo's voice as part of his masquerade (although Cosmo doesn't bother with trying to flawlessly imitate Timmy's voice while disguised as him). Timmy was previously shown to perfectly disguise his voice to sound like an adult male in "The Really Bad Day!".
• Comso is shown to be unable to poof up brownies in this episode, even though Wanda is able to in "Meet the OddParents."
• When Mother Nature makes lighting happen to Anti-Fairies, Anti-Wanda has a bone in her hair. This is similar to when Wanda's hair was shown to have a bone in it after she got shocked in Wish Fixers.
  • Oddly, Anti-Cosmo's bowler hat also has a bone in it.
• This is the first episode that shows us that Poof likes chocolate (just like his mother). The second is Fairly Odd Fairy Tales.

Allusions

• Balance of Flour - The title is an obvious reference to Balance of Power.
• Pac-Man - The title card is a reference to Pac-Man. Additionally, when Poof eats the second batch of brownies, he does in a similar way as Pac-Man.
• Lucky Charms - Cosmo describes Strangle Buns pastries as "magically delicious", which is a reference to Lucky Charms' slogan "They're Magically Delicious".
• The Exorcist - When Poof's head spins around 360-degrees, he makes an obvious reference to the film.

Goofs

• Poof burped, but in Fairly Odd Baby, it was stated that lightning happens when Poof burps but in this episode, nothing happened. On the other hand, Poof may have gotten control over his magic by this point since the magic he did in Fairly Odd Baby were way beyond his control and they occurred a lot in Fairly Odd Baby due to his reactions.
• It is unknown why Cosmo, Anti-Cosmo, and Anti-Wanda would wear costumes since they can shape shift, and Cosmo has impersonated Timmy by such means before.
• When Poof was about to turn his head 360 degrees. The plate had randomly disappeared.
• Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda who are wearing Mrs. Turner and Mr. Turner costumes respectively are shot out to the “DIMMSDALE” words which are then thrown out and two “M” letters each have three pointy parts in the middle and two flat parts on both ends. However, when the nine words are respected to “MILDEWADS”, one of the two “M” letters have all flat parts.
• On the title card, part of Poof's outfit is the same color as his skin.
• Mother Nature throws six acorns each onto the ground so that the six squirrels in the front eat them when the squirrels are moving forward. However, the squirrels on the back seem to eat acorns despite not really eating them.
• When Fairy Hart is talking about the contestants who entered the baking contest, Anti-Wanda's ears are pointed.
• Anti-Wanda made food that tasted bad (the rat cake). However, in Food Fight Wanda made food that tasted bad which would mean that Anti-Wanda would make food that tastes good.

Running Gags

• Someone saying "MORE, GOOD, MORE!" in a deep voice after eating Nana Boom Boom's brownies.
• Someone throwing exploding pies at someone else.
• Anti-Cosmo and Jorgen saying they had gotten something from the back of a comic book.
• Nana Boom Boom saying "BOOM BOOM!" whenever she is about to poof somewhere.

Quotes

Cosmo: Welcome to the von Strangle family bakery, Timmy! Where everything is magically delicious! You can even eat the walls! [bites wall]

Wanda: No, you can't, Cosmo.

Cosmo: Oh. [turns a weird shade of green] Then you'd better take me to the hospital [faints]

---

Poof: [after eating the cherry brownies, he sounds like Jorgen] More. Good! MORE!!!

---

Jorgen: [after catching Anti-Cosmo] Aha! It is Anti-Cosmo in a clever giant cupcake disguise.

Anti-Cosmo: Cupcake? Ignoramus! I'm a giant frosted scone!

---

Jorgen: That was close. If that fiend had escaped with the brownie, he could've found out the recipe. A recipe that is kept in a secret vault in the basement. Which I guess is no longer a secret since I just told you about it.

Nana Boom Boom: [throws exploding pie] Dumb dumb!

---

Wanda: I'm gonna get Poof to a brownie-free zone. Cosmo, Timmy, don't do anything stupid while I'm gone. [poofs away]

Cosmo: [to Timmy] Why does always say that to us?

Timmy: I don't know. Now let's do something stupid! Poof me up another one of those brownies I'm not supposed to have.

Cosmo: Sorry Timmy they're magic brownies. I can only poof them up by using the secret recipe.

Timmy: Then take me down to that basement vault so I can get the recipe.

Cosmo: That sounds perfectly stupid! (In the vault) Getting that brownie recipe's gonna be simple. Wait. That means getting a cake would be a piece of brownie. Hold me, Timmy. I'm freaking myself out.

---

Anti-Cosmo [sees that Timmy downloaded the recipe to his brain]: It looks that Timmy Turner has what we came for. And you mocked me for buying X-Ray glasses from the back of the comic book.

Anti-Wanda [replying to Anti-Cosmo's sentence]: Why do we need those brownies anyway? We can win the bake-off with my Roadkill Critter Cake!

Anti-Cosmo: No offence dear, but no one wants a dessert that hunts mice in a sewer. We need that brownie recipe!

---

Wanda: [to Cosmo and Timmy] Where have you two been?

Cosmo: Well, we weren't in the bakery vault stealing the super-secret brownie recipe if that's what you're implying.

Wanda: You stole the recipe?!

Poof: MOOORRREEE!!!

Timmy: It's just a recipe for a stupid bake-off! It's not the end of the world!

---

"Mrs. Turner": Hi, Tommy. We've come to suck out the contents of your brain. [brandishes vacuum with tentacles] I mean, vacuum your room.

"Mr. Turner": We're not evil imposters.

[the tentacles of the vacuum pull off theirs masks to reveal Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda]

Anti-Cosmo: That's the last time I order Mom and Dad costumes from the back of a comic book. Now hold still while I painfully suck the recipe and your brain out of your ear canal!

Cosmo: Don't worry Timmy, we'll save you.

[Anti-Cosmo sucks Cosmo, Wanda and Poof into the vacuum cleaner]

Cosmo: Timmy, save us!

[Jorgen shots Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda]

Timmy: Thanks Jorgen! [unsucks Wanda, Poof, and Cosmo]

---

Anti-Cosmo: Have you found anything in his brain yet?

Anti-Wanda: I haven't even found his brain.

Cosmo: (Disguised as Timmy) I'd look a little lower.

Anti-Wanda: Found it! And I think I got something'. It's a recipe! [duh]

Anti-Cosmo: The brownies! Yes! Bring the recipe and start baking!

---

Jorgen: We're going to make it!

Poof: MORE. [eats the brownies in a similar way to Pac-man]

Jorgen: We're not going to make it! Wanda, don't you ever feed that kid?!

---

Anti-Cosmo: What have you done woman?! There's nothing on that plate!

Anti-Wanda: Don't blame me! I followed the recipe exactly [duh]

Cosmo: Yeah! That's my recipe for Bread-Free Toast: "0 cups flour, 0 cups water, 0 minutes in oven".

---

Fairy Hart: It's a beautiful day

Mother Nature: Thank you, I made it myself!

---

Mother Nature: It's not good to want to fool Mother Nature!

Mother Nature: More. Good! MORE!!

---

Nana Boom Boom: Boom Boom!
