Trivia

  • This is the only Jimmy Timmy Power Hour episode to be produced in 2003.
    • This is also the only Jimmy Timmy Power Hour episode to premiere in 2004, as their crossovers then premiere in the next years, 2005 (produced) and 2006 (premiere).
  • According to Butch Hartman, the reason only Timmy went to Retroville in the first special was due to the time and budgetary constraints of modeling and rigging characters in 3D. Hence why they held off on bringing bringing additional characters over until the 2nd and 3rd specials.[1]
  • Like Abra-Catastrophe!, Channel Chasers, School's Out!: The Musical, Fairy Idol, When Nerds Collide! and The Jerkinators!, an alternative version split into 3 parts also exists with redesigned title cards. This was primarily designed for international broadcasters such as the BBC in the UK, who sometimes aired the show inside another show (such as Dick & Dom in da Bungalow). However on occasion the BBC has aired the full length special as a separate program.
  • This special defines A.J.'s lab as the greatest in Dimmsdale.
  • In the Crocker Cave, Mr. Crocker keeps a map of Fairy Sightings next to a map of Restraining Orders. It would seem he has restraining orders in all kinds of places.
  • Cosmo and Wanda are revealed to like poker in this episode.
  • This is the first episode to begin with the plot before the opening.
  • The O Entertainment logo and DNA logo are shown at the ending credits with the Frederator Studios logo combining both shows together.
  • This is the only episode in the Jimmy Timmy Power Hour trilogy to begin in Dimmsdale and then in Retroville.
  • In countries where Disney Channel used to broadcast the Nelvana distributed episodes, this episode never aired due to Nickelodeon owning Jimmy Neutron.
    • However, the succeeding two specials aired on TV when Nickelodeon started to air the series (only episodes beyond Crash Nebula).

A.J. with Albert Einstein

Play Decimator

The Game Buddy

  • Yogi Bear - When Jimmy says he was not Timmy, Sanjay claims to be Yogi Bear. This one of the only times a non-parody is used.
  • Let's Make a Deal - The music heard when Mr. Crocker is threatening Jimmy with his substitution as Timmy is the theme of the game show.
  • Albert Einstein - A.J. has a picture of him with the well-known scientist.
  • David Copperfield and P.T. Barnum - In one intersection, two streets in Fairy World are named after these famous magicians.
  • The Wizard of Oz - The appearance of A.J. and his clones, as well as Cosmo's line "Pay no attention to the fairies operating the fudge-head suit", are references to the movie.
  • The Misfits - During his battle with Jimmy Neutron, Mr. Crocker references the song "Dust to Dust".
  • Scarface - After restoring the fairies' magic, Jimmy says "Say hello to my big glowing friend" which spoofs the line "Say hello to my little friend".
  • Nintendo Game Boy - The Game Buddy is a spoof of the hand-held gaming device.
  • Space Jam - After Jimmy tells Cosmo he isn't real Cosmo replies "If I weren't real could I do this? Or this?" This quote is the exact same words Bugs Bunny says to Michael Jordan when Jordan tells Bugs Bunny he isn't real.
  • The Simpsons - When Timmy appears in Jimmy's lab he notices that he is now "bulgy." This is a reference to the famous Treehouse of Horror VI short Homer3 where Homer says the same thing when he becomes 3D.
  • Pac-Man - When Timmy tries to do a brain blast and gets board easily, the death sound is heard in the background.

Continuity & Callbacks

  • Timmy hypnotizes Mrs. Neutron into thinking she is Mighty Mom, Mrs. Turner's super hero alter-ego.
  • When meeting Jimmy, Cosmo and Wanda use a similar intro to that of Timmy in the pilot episode, The Fairly Odd Parents!.
  • Vicky is seen driving the Striker Z from Engine Blocked. The reason why it looks beaten up in this episode because close to the end of Engine Blocked, the Striker Z got wrecked up after it fell off a cliff and crushed by a crusher in a junkyard.
  • One of Timmy's previous disguises was known as "Kent Quasar"—the original name for Jimmy Neutron was "Johnny Quasar".

Running Gags

  • Timmy and Jimmy breaking the fourth wall by commenting on the animation change.
  • People mistaking Timmy for Jimmy, and vice versa.
    • Carl and Sheen assuming Jimmy shrunk his head.

Goofs

  • The straw in Timmy and Cindy's ice cream disappears and reappears. This goof was mentioned in the special 77 Secrets of The Fairly OddParents Revealed!.
  • As noted in this episode, Hanna-Barbera exists in The Fairly OddParents universe even though in Channel Chasers, HB's shows are parodied.
  • When Jimmy takes Cosmo's crown to make an electromagnetic field, a shot of the invention has Cosmo in the frame wearing a crown.
  • When Timmy was in A.J. lab, a picture of A.J. and Albert Einstein was seen but this picture is non-canon. As A.J. born in 1992 and Albert Einstein died in 1955, A.J. could not have participated in this picture with Albert Einstein since Einstein died before A.J. was born.
  • Timmy's wish defines Jimmy's lab as the greatest one in the universe, implying that Retroville and Dimmsdale are of the same universe, or maybe Cosmo and Wanda accidentally sent him to another universe. However, later in the special Timmy claims that he loves "this" universe, implying that the two are separate universes. Timmy later asks Cindy if she has a camera capable of sending a picture to a parallel universe which is arguably the best definition of the two towns. Jimmy says "I not familiar with how you greet people in this Dimension." This might not be a goof because Timmy says "I wish I was in the greatest lab in the universe." but he isn't specific on which universe.
    • The other two Jimmy Timmy Power Hours conflate the terms "universe" and "dimension" frequently, making the distinction unclear further.
  • Jimmy pours out the water in the fishbowl, but when he looks under the bed, it is back in the fishbowl.
  • Mr. Crocker unplugged the Big Wand and yet Fairy World did not fall into the Giant Bucket of Acid World. However, Mr. Crocker might have been the one that was keeping Fairy World levitating as he was using a weapon that allowed his wishes to be granted.
  • Timmy feels perfectly fine when he takes off the helmet, unlike when Jimmy was still a bit dumb after he drained his brain in "Normal Boy".
  • When Jimmy turns Mr. Crocker back to normal with Jorgan's wand, Mr. Crocker is seen wearing his normal clothes, but when Jorgan is seen getting ready to "shred" Mr. Crocker he is back in his battle suit.
  • When Jimmy takes Cosmo's crown to create the electromagnet, Cosmo is still seen with his crown on his head.
  • In the first shot of the inside of the Science Fair, Mr. Crocker is on the stage, but when Principal Waxelplax explains what happened to Mr. Crocker, he is on the floor.
  • Timmy wishes for both Jimmy and Timmy to be in their hometowns. This creates two or three errors.
    • 1. The two should've been unable to interact as Cosmo and Wanda should have just poofed Jimmy into Retroville and Timmy into Dimmsdale.
    • 2. The portal that Jimmy came from and Timmy was going to was Fairy World, not Dimmsdale.
    • 3. Depending on one's definition of a hometown, it is possible that Jimmy should have been sent to his birth town, which is most likely not Retroville because in "Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius", Cindy reveals that Jimmy Neutron moved to Retroville.
  • When Jimmy and Timmy shake hands, the two hand animations don't overlap like an real handshake should.
  • When Mr. Crocker slams open Timmy's door, the door slams to the continuation of the same wall that the door is on. However, when Mr. Crocker shows that he has the Teleporting Game Buddy, the door is on a perpendicular wall.
    • Also how did Crocker break into Timmy's house without meeting Mr. and/or Mrs. Turner, when he should've broken in through the window?
      • Probably he disguised himself, or just he knew that Timmy's parents are nitwits so he used an excuse to get to Timmy's room.
  • Retroville shows up on the Game Buddy before Jimmy presses any buttons.
  • When Mr. Crocker shows that he has the Teleporting Game Buddy, Retroville is not shown on the Game Buddy's screen.
  • In the scene where Carl and Sheen meet Timmy, Goddard is shown in the background. Goddard's ear is not leaking. However, when Goddard is shown to start feeling the effects of the Decimator game, his ear is leaking again.
  • When Timmy is looking through Jimmy's inventions in his lab he finds the shrink ray and tests it out as he does it the remote shrinks too despite it not shrinking with its test subject in numerous The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius episodes.
  • Cindy's arms appear to clip through her shirt several times throughout the episode, notably whenever she goes to kiss Timmy
  • Several times in 2D, Jimmy's watch keeps disappearing off his wrist.
  • Jimmy loses his lab-coat when he appears in The Fairly OddParents! world.
  • When Judy sees Timmy, she stupidly thinks he's Jimmy and has caused trouble again. Due to the fact that Timmy looks and sounds nothing like Jimmy, Judy should have realized it wasn't Jimmy. Cindy and Libby are the only ones who realized this.
  • When Crocker is show on Goddard's screen, the Game Buddy on the Auto-Poofer is not shown.
  • When one of A.J.'s clones questions why one of them didn't think of a robotic dog, the scene cuts to Jimmy's lab for the response, where the animation is simply flipped and reversed, leading to the same clone answering his own question.

Quotes

Mr. Crocker: Say "goodbye", Timmy Turner.
Jimmy: How many times do I have to tell you? I'm not Timmy Turner!

(The Jimmy controlling the machine is a decoy. The curtain pulls away, revealing Cosmo and Wanda were controlling the machine)

Wanda: Technically, he's not even Jimmy Neutron.
Cosmo: Pay no attention to the fairies behind the curtain.

Cosmo: [about Jimmy Neutron] Oh no! Fudgehead left us! I always knew you couldn't trust a fudgehead!

Timmy's Dad: I remember when you tried to avoid going to the dentist and you were "Kent Quazar" and the time you were avoiding to get a haircut and you were "Buzz Atoms". Hahahaha! Ooh, that's rich!
Jimmy: I have no idea what you're talking about, and I'm not Timmy.
Timmy's Dad: Of course you're not. That's why we invited 'Not'-Vicky to 'not'-take you to your 'not'-school.
Vicky: Don't worry, Mr. Turner. I'll make sure Jimmy gets to school safe and sound- [starts trying to pull at Jimmy's head] -as soon as I get this fake head off!

Timmy: My new bulgy skull might be cracked, but my new, bulgy mind doesn't care! Woohoo! Let's do it again!
