Famous scene

Another Famous scene

• The Fairly OddParents - The title of the episode parodies the title of the show itself.
• Phineas and Ferb - In the Pet Store, there was a frog with spots and horns which is similar to Señor Frowwg from "The Chronicles of Meap".
  • Also, one animal name is "Duck Billed Catapus" which makes a reference to the episode, "Escape from Phineas Tower" because Perry was being trapped in a cat's body.
• E.T. - The scene where Timmy was flying in his scooter with a night background is a reference of the famous scene.
• Scooby Doo - Cosmo mentions going to an abandoned amusement park and investigating a haunted rollercoaster, a reference to the first film.
  • Also, The Mystery Mobile is a spoof on the Mystery Machine.
  • Scooby-Doo will later be referenced as the entire plot of another Season 9 episode, "The Wand That Got Away".
• In the pet store, there is a snake moving a rattle with it tail which makes a reference to the Rattlesnake.
• Friends - When Cosmo says to the blonde women "How you doing?" is a reference to Joey saying that line a lot throughout the series.

• This episode is similar to "Fairly OddBaby", though the concept of babies is also replaced by dogs. In both episodes, Timmy wants something to have someone. In addition, the episode has the characters both unintentionally causing trouble around Dimmsdale until everything turns back to normal. Also, both episodes have the episode introducing a new character.

Continuity

• This is the second time Mrs. Turner is mentioned as being allergic to cats. The first was Invasion of the Dads.
• Dimmsdale's public pool from "Emotion Commotion!" is seen again.
• This is the third and last time the Dimmsdale Dam got destroyed. The first was Nega-Timmy and the second was Super Zero.

Running Gags

• Mr. Crocker and his pet parrot saying "FAIRIES!" together while sitting on a tree at Dimmsdale Park.
• People talking about a barrel of push pins.
• Sparky licking Timmy.
• Sparky burying stuff.
• Mr. Turner pretending to be a lamp.

• Wanda, about Cosmo; "Sometimes I just get overwhelmed."
• Sparky attacking Vicky.

Goofs

• The introduction of Sparky creates a few continuity errors in the series. See Sparky.
• When Sparky buried the house while Timmy was asleep, Timmy wishes it back up and Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof can be seen with their wands in this scene. However, in the later scene where the magic fleas are biting people and Timmy wishes them back to normal, Wanda mentions that they can't because Sparky buried the wands, but they just had their wands and granted a wish earlier when Sparky had already buried things.
• Chet Ubetcha says that Timmy is the worst pet owner of the world even though Mr. Turner made all of Timmy's pets die.
  • It's possible that Timmy's parents put the blame on their son for being a bad pet owner, just like in "That's Life!".
• After getting bit by Sparky, Vicky drops her chainsaw and it cut a rectangular hole, which is impossible due to the sharp angles. In addition, the cole was made before the line is connected. Although Vicky later drops her chainsaw again and it cuts a round hole.
• Chet Ubetcha looked through Timmy's window when his fairies were floating, but there was no indication that the fairies disappeared due to his presence.
• Sparky said that he can speak because he just ate a dictionary, but in Let Sleeper Dogs Lie, we can see that Sparky being able to talk even before he ate the dictionary.
• Timmy says he is the only person in Dimmsdale without a pet, when he has had pet goldfish for the whole series. This may be because the goldfish are actually Cosmo, Wanda and Poof.
• Jorgen cannot have a niece because in the episode "The Gland Plan" he says "I have to find the Anti-Jorgen when his Fagiggly Gland was acting up, which means he doesn't have a sibling because Fairies can only have the transplant with siblings or anti- counterparts. A similar error occurs with Cosmo in Double-Oh Schnozmo!.
• When Sparky shows Timmy his photo album, his previous owners clearly aren't fairies, and they can't have fairy godparents because they are not kids. Therefore Sparky is revealing the existence of fairies. Also Sparky said that his previous owners dropped him off at the store. This means his owners had gone to fairy world to pick up and drop off Sparky.
• When Mr. Turner's rock knocks Timmy off his scooter and through the window, there's a full moon out and it's also dark out. But when Mr. Turner notices the moon, it's daylight again.
  • Mr. Turner breaks the fourth wall when noticing a full moon at 3 o'clock.
• After Chet tells everyone that the dam is bursting, it zooms down to a street near the dam where his car's being towed. But when Wanda says that Timmy's house is the first house it's going to hit, there's no road. It's unknown if the road is behind the fence in Timmy's yard.
