Trivia

Sparky using the star on his tail as a wand.

• This episode's plot is similar to "Genie Meanie Minie Mo" and "Back to the Norm", where in all three episodes someone finds a magical being who grants various wishes for them.
  • The first two episodes involve a character (Timmy Turner and Mr. Crocker, respectively) finding Norm the Genie, who grants them various wishes of theirs.
  • This episode involves Mr. Turner finding Cosmo (who has amnesia) and, thinking he's a witch/genie-hybrid that he dubs a "wenie," has his him grant various wishes of his. At the same time, Timmy, Wanda, Poof and Sparky are trying to bring Cosmo's memory back.
• "Buenos dias" is Spanish for "Hello" or "Good morning".
• This episode is mentioned in the iTunes description for Season 9.
• This is the sixth time Timmy has been shrunken by magical means, but it's the first since Hassle in the Castle. It's also the first time he's been shrunken against his will.
• This is the second episode in Season 9 where Denzel Crocker does not appear in at any moment.
• This was the first episode where Sparky was shown using his tail as a wand and also the first time Sparky used magic in general.
  • This was also the first episode Sparky transforms, where he transforms into a bone.
• Sparky breaks the fourth wall during the black screen, which he showed the passports to the audience and talks to them that he got them.
• Apparently, without the existence of Sheldon Dinkleberg, Mrs. Turner would be a two headed fire breathing monster.

  

  Sparky's Transformation

• List of Mr. Turner's Wishes:
  1. For a real man cave. (in which he got a real cave with a bear, but then got cool stuff like a bear head trophy, a big screen TV, a fancy bowl for his cough drops, and a massage chair that operates on quarters.)
  2. Waffles for breakfast.
  3. Not go to work anymore.
  4. Turning his home into the city dump so he doesn't have to take out the trash.
  5. For huge biceps for Mr. Turner.
  6. For Dinkleberg to not exist. (Followed by the space time continuum being altered, so he had to be wished back into existence.)
  7. For the sun to be closer so he can get a tan on his Biceps.
• This episode is seen in the Big Time Rush episode, Big Time Cartoon, which also guest stars the show's creator; Butch Hartman.
  • Also, Butch replaced "SHRINK!" to "POOF!" only for that episode and he also replaced "Couscous" with Cosmo when he said "I'm a-I'm a fairy! And my name is... Cosmo!".
• Mr. Turner has stated the moral of the series: "Be careful with what you wish for."

Allusions

• I Dream of Jeannie - The title is a pun of the 1960s show. The tune that plays during the title card is also reminiscent of the show's theme song.
• Honey, I Shrunk the Kids - When Timmy, Wanda. and Poof got shrunk by Cosmo.

Running Gags

• Mr. Turner talking about his biceps and his place in the attic.
• People saying 'magic weenie'.
• People talking about cough drops.
• Cosmo granting Mr. Turner's wishes.
• Cosmo saying "Grant said" or "He said" while granting a wish.

Continuity & Easter Eggs

• This is the second time Mr. Turner used fairy magic. The first time was in Meet the OddParents and the third will be in The Wand That Got Away.

Goofs

• When Timmy, Wanda, Poof and Sparky go up to the attic and Timmy starts to talk to Cosmo, Sparky disappears for a while.
• Fairies can't poof up money according to Da Rules, but Cosmo gives Timmy's dad an endless supply of quarters, although it may be because he thinks he's a magic weenie, not a fairy.
• After Sparky throws the ball, the ball Timmy's holding disappears.
• It is unknown why Sparky needed to disguise, since he has always been himself in front of other humans besides Timmy. He might have done this because he was panicked.
• It is revealed in this episode that if you shrink a wand, you only have the power to do silly magic tricks, but in "King Chang", When Cosmo and Wanda got shrunken, they poofed up a tiny laser gun, though the laser gun did fail, so it still may make sense.
• In this episode it is revealed that Sparky's tail functions like a wand. But, for some reason, Timmy didn't ask him to grow him back to normal when he needed to.

Quotes

Sparky: Fetch!

---

Mr. Turner: Stay away from my ball gowns!

---

Mr. Turner: I wish Dinkleberg never existed!

(The wish backfires)

Mr. Turner: Ahh! Change it back, change it back! But keep my biceps the way they are.

---

Mr. Turner: (gasps) You're a magic weenie!

(Timmy, Wanda, Poof, and Sparky rush into Timmy's room)

Timmy: Wait a minute. Where's Cosmo? Oh no, I hope my dad doesn't find him.

Mr. Turner ("shouting from the attic"): I FOUND A MAGIC WEENIE!!!

Timmy: Oh no! We've gotta get up there!

Wanda: Oh, I don't know Timmy. Your father and Cosmo in the same room together? It might be safer to pack up and move to Mexico.

Sparky: Mexico? I know a guy down there who can set us up.

Timmy: Let's see what's going on in the attic first.

(Wanda poofs Timmy, herself, Poof, and Sparky up to the attic)

Timmy: Cosmo, you're not supposed to be talking to my dad.

Cosmo: What's a Cosmo? I'm a weenie, and my name is Grant.

Wanda: I think he has amnesia. Cosmo, listen to me, you are not a weenie, you're a fairy.

Cosmo: If I were a fairy, I'd be ruling over a bunch of Egyptians.

Wanda: THAT'S A PHAROAH!! Oh, forget it. Let's just hit him over the head and hope he gets his memory back. (Poofs her wand into a mallet)

Timmy: Can't we just take him to a shrink?

Cosmo: "I'll take you to a shrink," Grant said cleverly. (Cosmo shrinks Timmy, Wanda, and Poof)
