- This is the first appearance of Poof. He would appear in all episodes following this one until Let Sleeper Dogs Lie in Season 9.
- This the first episode to mark the debut of a main character. The second and the third are Fairly OddPet and The Big Fairy Share Scare. This is the only one of the three to be a TV movie.
- This episode marked the uncancellation of The Fairly OddParents, which had previously ended alongside Jimmy Neutron with the double-series finale "The Jerkinators!".
- The first act of this TV movie runs for a whole 20 minutes, before the first commercial break.
- This is the most watched episode of the series with a total of 9.1 million viewers.

- This episode aired 6 days after Tara Strong's 35th birthday.

- The online game Nicktoons Superstuffed: Mini Game Mania 2, has a minigame based on the opening scene from this episode "Skydiving" in which the player has to get Cosmo in the right spot to make Timmy land.
- In Latin America, Cosmo's voice was changed due to his then voice actor, Sergio Sáez, moving to the United States. He was replaced by Orlando Noguera, who is the current voice of Cosmo, Chet Ubetcha and other characters in the Latin American Spanish version of The Fairly OddParents

Allusions
- The Fairly OddParents - The title of the episode parodies the title of the show itself.
- George Lopez - When Jorgen says "Stop hitting me, you crazy old bat!" it makes a reference to when George refers to his mother Benny as a crazy old bat.
- Tickety Toc - When Wanda wants to name the baby "Tallulah", then Timmy said that wants to name him/her "Tommy". They were thinking in the main characters from the series.
- This may be the inspiration of the show.
- Ark of Covenant - Timmy, Anti-Cosmo, Head Pixie, Jorgen, Cosmo and Wanda traveling through time is a reference to the Ark of Covenant killing the bad guys.
- Taco Bell - When all are trapped in Anti-Cosmo's cage, Cosmo was dressed in a Taco Town uniform, which is a reference to the restaurant, Taco Bell.
- Yellowstone Park - Fairystone Park is an obvious spoof of the natural park.
- Robin Hood and Peter Pan - When all are trapped in Anti-Cosmo's cage, Wanda was dressed in a mix between Robin Hood's attire and Peter Pan's outfit.
- Washington Crossing the Delaware - After Poof farts, a scene shows Jorgen with a George Washington attire with two men rowing in a boat. This is a reference to the event.
- Domino's Pizza - Cosmo stated that if he doesn't deliver the orders before 30 minutes, they are free. This was a system Domino's used during the 1980s-1990s.
- Kajagoogoo - Jorgen briefly wants to name the baby "Kajagoogoo" in honor of the British new wave band.
- Ghostbusters - Chet Ubetcha says "Dogs and Cats living together...It's mass hysteria." This is a reference to the Ghostbusters line, "Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!".
- The Simpsons - Cosmo wants to call Poof Bartholomew which is Bart's real name.
- Jurassic Park and Jurassic World - ???.
- Bee Gees - Cosmo’s backstory of his favorite boyband was based on the success and backlash of the 1977 mature-themed disco film Saturday Night Fever, prior to the Disco Demolition Night on July 12, 1979.
- This is the second of three times where a real-life band is mentioned in-universe. The first time was Hootie and the Blowfish in "Talkin' Trash" and the third Kiss in "Wishology!".
Continuity & Easter Eggs
- When Anti-Cosmo exposed Head Pixie and Sanderson's plan to steal Poof wearing a Jorgen suit, H.P. said that he was sure the Jorgen suit would work this time. This is a reference the episode "Wish Fixers" where he also tried to use a Jorgen suit as part of a scheme.
- Timmy suggests the name "Tommy" as a name for then unnamed baby. He also gave this name to his wished up brother in Oh, Brother! and later his son seen at the end of Channel Chasers.
- This is the second time that the Fairy Council was mentioned. The first time was in "Abra-Catastrophe!".
Goofs
- In this episode, it is repeatedly stated that Cosmo was the last fairy baby born, yet there have been younger fairies shown both before this special and after (Timmy TV).
- Jorgen Von Strangle does not know Poof is still with Cosmo and Wanda at the end of the episode, but in "Poof's Playdate", he seems to be aware though this was probably off-screen.
- All throughout the episode, Anti-Cosmo's eyes appear green, as they should be, but in the end when Anti-Cosmo is a raisin (along with H.P.), his eyes appear red.
- When Cosmo appears as baby, he looks like a smaller version of a fairy, but Poof was born round. In later episodes, when baby fairies appear, they are round.
- In the episode, Poof's skin is the same skin color of Cosmo, Wanda, and Timmy. In other episodes, his skin looks whiter.
- When Jorgen is reading off of Da Rules, one of the rules he says is not turning yourself into a fairy, but in the episode, A Mile In My Shoes, Timmy turns himself into a fairy. This might suggest that was Timmy's wish that gave rise to this rule, Timmy also turns himself into a fairy godmother in Elmerella. Cosmo and Sheen also broke this rule in When Nerds Collide by having Cosmo make Sheen a fairy, so it could be likely that this event gave rise to the rule due to Sheen abusing a fairy's magical powers to anger Jorgen.
- In this episode, Jorgen Von Strangle appears to have had long purple hair in his younger days (it was also shown in The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker). But when he was shown as a baby in "Poof's Playdate", he has his usual white-haired buzz cut. However, the former two appearances were when he was an adult, so the white hair may be his natural hair color. In the flashback shown in this episode, it is possible he dyed his hair and made it longer so he could make a good impression on Cosmo since the latter was a baby at that point. The purple hair afro shown in The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker may have been done by him because he wanted to be able to blend in with the 60s era more easily since his regular white hair buzz-cut would probably make him stick out like a sore thumb there at that point.
- Before Timmy threw the burrito into Poof's mouth, Poof was floating next to Cosmo. But when Timmy threw the burrito, Poof was far over in the corner of the room. Then, when he started to break wind, he was back over where he originally was.
- In the first scene of the reality warp after Poof breaks wind, Jorgen is shown to have typical fairy wings, even though he is actually one of the only few that don't.
- For a brief moment, when Timmy wishes for Cosmo and Wanda to have a baby, he has no buckteeth.
- Jorgen says that Cosmo and Wanda could visit their baby every other millennium, which is 2000 years. However, he marked down their next visit in the 23rd century, which is only 200 years.
- After Anti-Cosmo says, "World Domination!", the agenda that he has never appears again.
- Cosmo and Wanda explain that the reason that Fairies have godchildren is because Fairies cannot have children. However, later, Wanda says that it is an ancient tradition to have the godchild throws the pregnant fairy a baby shower.
Running Gags
- Cosmo barfing on Timmy and apologizing.
- Cosmo yelling at Timmy due to his mood swings.
- Cosmo asking people if they want jelly.
- Characters saying, "it has the new baby smell."
- Jorgen going to the restroom because of a bad burrito.
- Characters wanting to know the gender of Poof. Characters will also often follow up with "no time for that!".
- People referring to the term "baby" as the "B" word.
- Poof causing something weird to happen depending on his reactions.
- Prior to his official name, everyone (except Timmy) gives Poof a different name.
- Timmy using cute baby talk on Poof to keep him happy and Timmy making a note in the same voice on how he has to eventually stop.

- People calling Timmy, Tommy.

Reception
- Prior to the premiering of this episode, some fans did not like that Fairly OddParents would be having a new main cast member. Most of those fans have come around after the episode aired and/or by the time the week of new episodes following this one was finished.
- One thing that some fans didn't like was that it showed that Poof's gender was determined on whether or not he liked water squirters. The reason the fans didn't like this was because it suggests that females can't like water squirters.
- It wasn't until a little less than 1 year and 5 months later that his true gender was revealed in the episode, Anti-Poof with Foop with a male voice and not a female voice. This reveals that Poof is indeed a male.
