Trivia

• This is the first time since Balance of Flour that another Anti-Fairy other than Foop or the Anti-Fairy Council appears. (Anti-Sparky)
• This is the second episode where Foop appears, but not his fairy counterpart, Poof.
• This is the last episode that both Gary Conrad and Michelle Bryan directed.
• Due to the fact that Foop lives in Anti-Fairy World, it can be assumed that he lives in Anti-Cosmo's Castle, which would also reveal that this is where he lives in The Terrible Twosome.
• It's revealed in this episode that Fairy Dogs also have an Anti Fairy counterpart.
• This is the second appearance of Mr. Crocker's portal to Fairy World, although it looks different in this appearance than it does in Fairy Idol.
• This is Sparky's last appearance as he was removed from the show due to negative reception both internally and from audiences, due to him being entirely absent throughout Season 10.
• This is the first appearance of Anti-Sparky in the series.
• This is the only episode where Dinkleberg's House appears without The Dinklebergs.
• This is the also the third and last time Dinkleberg's pool appears outside of his house. The first was That's Life! and the second was A Perfect Nightmare.
• This is the last appearance of the Fairy Council in the series.
• This is also the only episode in the series where the Fairy Council and the Anti-Fairy Council appear in the same episode.
• This is the 7th special episode in a row.

Allusions

• T.U.F.F. Puppy - There was an animal in the herd in the top right corner that looks exactly like Dudley. There was also one animal that looks like Keswick.

Goofs

• When the Anti-Fairy Council first appeared in this episode, they looked exactly like the Fairy Council. It's likely that at the beginning the Anti-Fairy Council's color scheme was accidentally swapped by the Fairy-Council's color scheme.
• The Grim Reaper says that Foop is going to die on the toilet, but since fairies live forever, it can be assumed that anti-fairies also live forever.

Running Gags

• Every time Anti-Sparky yells at Foop, he screams in a high-pitched voice.
• Foop trying to use the potty, but because of what the Grim Reaper said, he's too afraid to.
• Sparky runs and chases the ball around the world, and he tries to figure out where the ball is at, and he finds it and chases it again.

Quotes

Foop: Seeing Timmy Turner and his family so happy MAKES ME WANNA TOSS MY COOKIES! (he throws his cookies at the wall). Great! Now I broke my cookies.

---

Foop: Am I dead? It is difficult to tell because I'm already blue and after all you are here.

Grim Reaper: Relax. I don't have your schedule for a while. Oh, this is fun. You're gonna perish on a toilet.

Foop: SWEET HOME ALABAMA! I'm never going potty again!

---

Grim Reaper: How about something more traditional, like an anti-dog? You know, man's worst friend?

Foop: Wait a minute. This must be the Anti-Sparky. What do you call him?

Grim Reaper: We call him Anti-Sparky.

Foop: Not very creative, but as long as his name is not Burney, I'm good. So, what does he eat?

Grim Reaper: A question is, WHO does he eat.

Anti-Sparky: I'd like to have you for dinner!

Foop: Oh, how very kind! I'm wide open for Saturday. Should we make a potluck?

(Anti-Sparky starts to growl)

Foop: Oh! Have ME for dinner! He's horrifying! And by that, I mean I take him! I'll switch this monster for Turner's dog and bring misery to their lives forever!

Grim-Reaper: That'll be a hundred dollars.

Foop: Uh... that's about hundred dollars more that I was prepared to pay.

Grim-Reaper: No, I'll give you the money to take this beast of my hands!

Foop: Well, that's not alarming at all. Oh, one last thing before I go. Do you have a restroom I could use?

Grim-Reaper: You know... I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Foop: Right. The potty thing. It's gonna be uncomfortable trip home.

---

Wanda: Shouldn't you be doing your homework, Timmy?

Timmy: I already did it. Actually Sparky did it for me.

Wanda: The French Poodle Revolution... "In 1789 Marie Antoinette said to the people of France: let them eat kibble...". Timmy, I'm not sure this is right.

Timmy: Whatever. The point is Sparky did my homework so I don't have to. He really is the best dog ever.

---

Anti-Sparky: Now that we are working together there are a couple of ground rules you'll need to follow Poop.

Foop: It's Foop.

Anti-Sparky: Don't correct me!

(Foop screams like a little girl)

Anti-Sparky: As for the first ground rule. The others are: never look me in the eye, and never raise your voice at me! Understood?

Foop: Yes.

Anti-Sparky: Whaaat?!

Foop: I said yes!

Anti-Sparky: You raised your voice!!!

(Foop screams like little girl)

Anti-Sparky: By the way. Do I have something in my eye?

Foop: I don't see anything.

Anti-Sparky: You looked me in the eye!!!

Foop (terrified): If I look away and whisper can I tell you about my diabolical plan to get rid of Sparky?

Anti-Sparky: I assume you're gonna destroy him. Perhaps by luring him into a bath of acid.

Foop: Actually I was going to throw the tennis ball really far so it will take him weeks to fetch it.

Anti-Sparky (under his breath): Loser...

---

Mr. Turner: Hey Sparky! Oooh, I think you stayed in the pool too long. You've turned blue and your eyes are red. Also you smell like a graveyard. Anyway, check out my new diamond grill I got to go with my diamond grill. I've always wanted one these ever since I saw one in the store fifteen minutes ago!

(Anti-Sparky destroys the grill with a laser beam)

Mr. Turner: My new grill! (cries) I'm so sad that I don't even wanna ask how you can shoot lasers from your tail.

---

Mrs. Turner: Hey Sparky! I'm practicing the dive you taught me. (Mrs. Turner lands in an empty pool, because Anti-Sparky pulled out the cork) That was mean. You've broken my heart... and my body.

---

Foop: Outstanding work Anti-Sparky. You truly are man's worst friend! Oh my... it's like petting your own coffin.

---

Foop: Once I make the switch, Dimmsdale will be plunged into eternal misery!

Anti-Sparky: DON’T RAISE YOUR VOICE!!!

(Foop screams like a little girl.)

Foop: I have to go to the potty, but I can’t!

---

Timmy: Foop! I should've realized that you were behind this!

Foop: That's right! I've switched all good pets with evil ones! Now everyone in Dimmsdale is miserable, while their beloved pets are locked away forever in a secret location in Anti-Fairy World Pet Store! Oops, I revealed a secret...

Timmy: You'll never get away from this! Because we're gonna stop you!

Foop: In your dreams! Get them Anti-Sparky!

Anti-Sparky: I told you NEVER RAISE YOUR VOICE!

Foop: You know what mister? I have just enough of your empty threats!

(Anti-Sparky devours Foop)

Foop: Oh, there's a family here.

Mr. Johnson: We're the Johnsons!

Son: I'm late for school!

Timmy: Well that takes care of Foop.

Anti-Sparky: And now to take care of you! Grrrrr!
