Trivia

• Morals: Sweets are okay every once in a while, but eating too much of them is not good for your health.

• All of the characters that appeared in this episode are shown in a "fat form". Except for: Mark, Chet, Mrs. Turner, and A.J.'s parents. (Although the latter three were most likely fat due to only sugar going down their bloodstreams)

• Eat your vegetables and other healthy foods because they are healthy and good for not only your body, but for everyone's body, and try not to consume desserts so much.

• When the majority of people became obese only three did not: Two cowboys and Mark Chang.
• This is the second time Wanda shows her addiction to chocolate.
• This episode is a warning to NOT eat too many desserts.
• It is unknown how Mark got the Spinach Cobbler if Timmy wished for foods on Earth to only be desserts, however it's unknown if the spinach is from Mark's planet.
• Unlike most other episodes shown where Timmy will always listen to Cosmo, this time, Cosmo is ignored while Timmy and Wanda both join in the wish.
• This is the second of the three episodes where something from outer space is heading towards Earth. The first was Pipe Down where a meteor was heading towards Earth as the second largest extinction since the ages of the dinosaurs and the third will be Dumbbell Curve, only it disappeared without magic because everybody (expect Timmy) thinks it's a muffin falling from the sky.
• Cosmo said he is not usually the skeptical one, but he doesn't even know what it means.
• This is the 100th episode of the show in total.
• In this episode, it is revealed that Trixie wears a belt (which later snaps due to her enormous girth when she eats a giant cookie in the classroom).
• Timmy's mom would have appeared bouncing around the house, and Vicky would have appeared as the fattest and heaviest due to her hogging all the desserts. Both were cut for time.
• This is the first episode where Tad appears without Chad. The second will be Hairicane.
• The second cowboy Cosmo pulls out of his fat also made a cameo in "Odd Odd West" in Dimmsdale Flats.
• In reality, consuming nothing but desserts would do more than just make people fat. The excessive amount of sugar and fat would also cause plaque to build up in the bloodstream, thus everyone in Dimmsdale would also have constant heart attacks.
• The Earth hurtling towards the sun as a consequence of the entire world's population being obese could be a metaphor for the various health problems associated with obesity such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer.

Allusions

• Just Desserts! - The episode's title is a reference to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trap Card, Just Desserts.

• The Powerpuff Girls - The episode's title is also similar to the episode' title, Just Desserts.

• The Simpsons - The lunch lady of the cafeteria could be based on Lunchlady Dora.

• Popeye the Sailor Man - Wanda's surge of energy after eating the spinach is a reference to Popeye's cutaway of eating spinach.

• 28 Days Later - At the cutaway, there's a timecard that says "28 Days Later" which makes a reference to the movie.
  • Also, one part of the episode shows that the consequence of a wish causes a disaster which possibly refers to the fact that in the movie the world is devastated by a disease in a short amount of time.

• The Day the Earth Caught Fire - The earth falling to the sun is similar to the plot of the film.

Running Gags

• Timmy trying to find a house that is serving dessert.
• Cosmo trying to warn everyone about Wanda or the wish but gets interrupted.
• People unable to move properly or walk due to being unhealthy.
• People saying "I'm off to run a marathon" while they had a sugar rush.
• People going fast after they have eaten sugary stuff until everyone becomes obese due to only sugar down their bloodstream.
• Timmy eating not one, but two candies.

Goofs

• In the title card, George Goodchild's last name is misspelled as Goochild.
• In this episode, A.J.'s voice is squeakier than usual.
• No matter how much weight is on the Earth, the planet should not move out of place, as it is impossible for the earth to hurdle towards the sun by weight due to the sun's gravitational pull. Though due to cartoon logic, this does not really apply here.
• When Timmy rolls to his house, the satellite was missing.
• Chompy is called "Toby" in closed captions when the mayor asked if his pants made his butt look big.
• If everyone on Earth ate nothing but desserts, the humans should have died due to their weight and lack of energy and only Cosmo, Wanda and any other fairies should be alive since they are immortal.
• Even though Wanda has no energy to lift her arms, she is shown playing cards with her arms raised perfectly fine a few scenes later.
• Also, they are playing cards in Timmy's Room magically all fixed which is impossible since Wanda should not be able to lift her arm, and Cosmo's wand is missing.
• Timmy is shown to be unable to climb the stairs because he is unhealthy, however a few seconds later he jumps without any fatigue.
• Also, Timmy like Wanda is shown to not be able to raise his arms, however when getting the spinach from Mark, he is shown raising them twice out of anger.
• When Cosmo and Wanda said, "Lunch and dinner!", their crowns are black, and the vanilla ice cream was pink. When the camera closed up, they were fixed.
• When Timmy was about to go climb the stairs, the holder in the wall was still there. When the camera closed up to Timmy, it disappears.
• After Mr. Crocker was preparing his test papers (and also writing Fs and an A on the papers), when he said, "I'm off to go run a marathon!", the table moved to the side of the blackboard. When the camera pans out, the table was back to the normal position.

Quotes

Mrs. Turner: This is dessert! It's carrot cake!

Mr. Turner: Without the cake!

Mrs Turner: We're going to do this every day!

---

Wanda: Make the wish, MAKE THE WISH!

Timmy: I wish for no more breakfast, lunch, or dinner, just desserts!

---

Timmy: Is it you eat too many sweets, and you get really heavy?

Cosmo: No, that's not it.

Timmy: Are you sure?

Mr. Turner: Oh, Timmy!

---

Mrs. Turner: I made your favorite: Scrambled cake, three strips of chocolate, and a hearty bowl of frosting!

---

Crocker: So, a planet's orbit is relative to its size and distance from the sun. Only a significant shift in weight in one area of the planet, oh say, the size of Dimmsdale, could unbalance it and send it wobbling into the sun! Now if you'll open your desks, you'll find...MORE DESSERT!

Class: YAY! (All the kids eat a bunch of sweets they find in their desks and as a result get fatter. For example, Trixie's belt snaps off her due to this weight gain. Then the kids in the class fall through the floor under their weight and the earth starts hurdling towards the sun.)

---

Timmy: Well at least now we live in a world where nobody makes fun of you for being fat anymore.

Francis: Hey, everybody! It's the fit kid! (points to Mark) Let's stuff him in the locker because he'll fit! (tries to grab Mark, but doesn't have the energy to grab him and gets tired out quickly)

Mark: Non-puny humans, I'm out of here!

Timmy: Well, at least Francis doesn't have the energy to bully anyone anymore. This turned out to be a pretty good wish after all. (chomps on a chocolate bar before rolling off to class)

---

Sanjay: Roll! Roll for your lives!

Timmy: I've got to get Cosmo and Wanda and wish everything back to normal! (rolls on over to his house) Now just up the stairs and... (Tries to climb the stair but doesn't have the energy to lift his legs and feet'. He gets exhausted trying.') Oh, man. I'm so unhealthy, I don't have the energy to climb stairs. So, I'll just have to bring them downstairs. (jumps up and down and the wall and ceiling crack and drops Cosmo and Wanda on the floor) I wish everyone was back to normal and that the earth wouldn't get crashed into the sun!

Wanda: (exhausted) I'm a little winded, sport. Can you handle it on your own?

Cosmo: Oh, I'll do it! Hang on, uh, my wand is here somewhere. Not my wand. Not my wand. Hey, there's that dog I was looking for!

Wanda: (exhausted) Oh, I could use my wand! (struggles to move her arm) Oh, if only I have enough energy to wave my arm!

Timmy: (tries to lift Wanda's arm) Oh. man! You were right! You do need healthy foods to have the energy to do things! Like lift your arms!

Wanda: But all the food in the world is dessert!

Cosmo: And nobody eats healthy foods for dessert. Hey, there's that cowboy I was looking for!

Billy The Goat: Howdy-do!

Timmy: Healthy foods for dessert! That's it!

---

Mr. Crocker: F, F, F, F, F, F, F, F, F, A for A.J., F!!! And now I think I'll run a marathon, but first... FAIRY GODPARENTS' FAIRY GODPARENTS' FAIRY GODPARENTS! [does weird poses then jumps out the window to run a marathon.]

---

Mark: I dunno Turner, why would I give you my last can of spinach cobbler, 'tis the tastiest of yugopotamian deserts?

Timmy: So, you're saying you won't help me save my DOOMED PLANET!?

Mark: Uh, yeah? AHH! STOP! FOR EVEN UNDER EARTH'S LIGHTER GRAVITY, YOU ARE CRUSHING MY GELATINOUS FORM!

Timmy: Thanks. Can I get a lift to my house?

Mark: Are you mad?! I cannot lift you!

Timmy: [annoyed] I meant with your ship!

Mark: Oh... m'kay!

---

Wanda: (from inside Cosmo's belly fat) Cosmo, get me out of here!

Cosmo: Not Wanda, not Wanda, not Wanda. Hey, there's the cowboy hunting that other cowboy!

Cowboy Sheriff: I'm looking for the varmint called Billy the goat.
