Trivia

The alternate title card.

• This episode and Frenemy Mine were the first episode pair to debut this season, and the first since 9 Lives / Dread N' Breakfast. Since Post-Cancellation, most episodes debut once at a time everyday over one week.
• The bus driver has a tattoo on his arm that says "Thug 4 Life".
• This episode has an alternate version of the title card where Timmy is seen playing with various other instruments, including a guitar and an accordion with his feet. The title card was created by Gordon Hammond.
• Tootie's glasses are black in this episode.
• This is the third Season 7 appearance of Vicky.
• Tootie also has made three cameos in this episode: First, she busts into Timmy's room, she then tries to jump into Timmy's limo, and finally she attends Timmy's concert while holding up a "Marry Me!" sign.

The piles of rubble and the "eyebrows" are shaped into a frowned look.

• Sheldon Dinkleberg has a different appearance in this episode. Instead of having gray hair and yellow clothes, he has brown hair and purple clothes.
• Timmy actually broke two of Da Rules as due to his wish he gained fame and fortune which are against Da Rules. It is likely that due to the fact that he did not directly wish for fame and fortune Da Rules did not apply (This can happen when fairy magic is used indirectly).
• In the very end of the episode (when Timmy destroys the Timmadome), if the viewer looks with attention, (s)he will notice that the surface of the Earth (which is shaped like Timmy's head) has its "eyebrows" frowned and two rubble piles are under each eyebrow, acting as the eyes; thus making the shape of a frowned look.
• Mr. Turner's natural talent to play the bongos is first introduced in this episode. It is later reintroduced in the episodes, "Love at First Bark", "Desperate Without Housewives", and "Dadlantis".
• Britney Britney had not made anymore physical appearances after "Momnipresent" since Nickelodeon retired her from the show because of the negative reputation of her real life counterpart, Britney Spears, back in the mid 2000s. However, pictures of the character are seen on magazine covers and photos.
• This episode reveals that Timmy's bad at playing the triangle.

Quotes

Timmy: (goes fame crazy) Timmy wants to be the biggest star in the whole world! He wishes he could play a gig in a stadium so huge, everybody on Earth can fit inside!

---

Cosmo: Ready for the biggest concert ever, Mr. Timmy Triangle?

Timmy: Quiet! Nothing can disrupt Timmy's intense focus!

Mom & Dad: Oh, Timmy? (comes through the door)

Dad: Ooh! Great gig, son! I had a dressing room like this when I was a super star and the world was a planet, not just a gigantic stadium for you. But I'm not jealous at all! (sobs)

Timmy: Mom, Dad, what are you doing here?

Mom: Oh, we just came by to say how proud we are of you, Timmy.

Dad: Plus, I was hoping you'd sign my bongos.

Timmy: Timmy doesn't sign autographs.

Dad: But we're family!

Timmy: Timmy doesn't need a family. The triangle's my family now. Timmy said, "Good day."

Dad: Eh, no, Timmy didn't.

Timmy: Well, Timmy meant too! (pushes his parents out the door and closes it)

Dad: So, is that a "no" on the bongos? (Timmy grabs the bongos and throws it in his mother and father's faces)

---

Wanda: Timmy, you just slammed the door on your parents! That was terrible!

Cosmo: That wasn't terrible, that was step 95. Slam the door on your parents.

Wanda: This has gone too far! You're acting like a big, bratty fame monster!

Timmy: If that's how you feel, maybe Timmy should just go solo. Wanda, you're fired!!

Cosmo: That's telling her, Timmy!

Timmy: You're fired too, Cosmo!!

Cosmo: That's telling me, Timmy! Hey, wait a minute. That's step 102! Make a tragic full error in judgment! The full consequences of which you can't possibly see yet!

Wanda: Fine! Since we're fired, we'll just go and take our magic with us! (waves her wand and makes Timmy's triangle unmusical again)

Cosmo: And we're taking Zippy too! (Zippy pops out of Cosmo's ear and growls)

---

Timmy: Mom, Dad, the entire population of Earth is gonna tear me apart!

Dad: Not if someone talented and gorgeous distracts the crowd!

Timmy: You'd save me? Even after I was such a jerk?

Dad: Oh, son, I'd never let anyone hurt you. (dodges some incoming tomatoes) And do you know why?

Timmy: Because you love me?

Dad: Well, there's that. More importantly because I crave fame even more than you do! (changes into his rock outfit) People of Earth! And Dinkleberg.

Dinkleberg: Whoo-hoo!

Dad: Get your bongo on!

Timmy: Guys, I'm sorry I treated you badly. Fame made me kinda nuts.

Cosmo: (Zippy pops out of Cosmo's ear) Not that kind of nuts, Zippy.

Wanda: Just remember, Timmy, you're always a somebody to us.

Timmy: Thanks, Wanda. (hugs Wanda and Poof) Well, I guess I'm done with the triangle forever.
