Trivia

Because of the final scene of this episode, some fans thought this was the last episode of the series. The show was actually on hiatus in 2012 after the episode aired, until season nine aired with Fairly OddPet, the show returned again after a year hiatus, but the episode Farm Pit aired in 2012, and it was made in production of the show's seventh season before the show went on hiatus and came back, so it did not end entirely.
- This is also the last episode to air in 2011.
- This was most likely supposed to be the series finale for the series after ten years of being on the air had the show not been picked up for a 9th season.
Mrs. Turner breaks the fourth wall by mentioning the flashbacks after Mr. Turner told her about something strange with Timmy.
- In addition, Jorgen looks at the audience a bit baffled after seeing Timmy faking to highlight his cheekbones as a secret to him about not losing his fairies.
This is the third time Mr. and Mrs. Turner meets Cosmo and Wanda. The first was in "Abra-Catastrophe!" and the second was in "Wishology!". They have also met before in other episodes, but Cosmo and Wanda were disguised as humans.
This is the second time that Timmy's dad is seen wearing a trench coat, the first time being in "Where's Wanda?" This is also the second time in the show when film noir is used and is also the second time in 2011 that the show is black and white for a segment.

Jorgen mentions a certificate he has from the "County of Whittier, California". This county doesn't exist in real life. Whittier, California is a city in California, but is a part of Los Angeles County.
During this episode, Wanda tells Timmy that, if Jorgen never finds out that their parents know about his fairies, they can stay. This is a possible explanation to why Timmy's fairies weren't taken away from him by the time he told about their existence to Chester and A.J., in "A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner!", since Jorgen was busy running away from Vicky at that time.
When Timmy Land appears in the beginning of the episode, one of the beauty salon women from "The Boy Who Would be Queen" can be seen in the background.
This is the final episode to have the opening sequence starting from the first season.
This is Dave Thomas and Aaron Hammersley's last episode on the show.
Although many people think Poof spoke his first words in the movie, he said "Hello!" in this episode.
When all the characters return the home, they all have a souvenir from a country seen in the montage:
- Timmy has an English top hat (England).
- Cosmo has a Mexican poncho and hat (Mexico).
- Wanda has a Japanese flag (Japan).
- Mr. Turner has a German outfit (Germany).
- Mrs. Turner has a French beret (France).
This is the last episode to use the SDTV 480i picture format. Starting with the next episode, it will use the HDTV 1080i picture format.
This is the 200th episode of the show in total.
This is the first time Crash Nebula was mentioned since Sleepover and Over and the finale time in the series.

Allusions

Meet the Parents - The title is a reference to the movie.
The Lion King - The scene where Timmy, Cosmo, Wanda, Mr. and Mrs. Turner are all in Africa is a reference to the beginning of Disney's movie.

T.U.F.F. Puppy - Vicky's head gag is series protagonist Dudley Puppy.
- This is the second time a likeness of Dudley has appeared in The Fairly OddParents, (the first one being "Timmy's Secret Wish!").
- This is the only episode to include a character from another show as a head gag.
Joust - When Timmy and his parents are shown wearing knight armor while riding on Cosmo and Wanda as ostriches. This is clearly a reference to the videogame, where your playable character is a knight riding an ostrich.
Butch Hartman - When Jorgen shows up the diploma, the show's creator sign is written on it.
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror - The name of the roller coaster at Timmy's land is called "Turner of Terror" which is a reference to the ride at Disney California Adventure, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Tokyo Disneysea and Walt Disney Studios Park. Although the Tower of Terror is a drop ride.
The Maltese Falcon - The scenes where Jorgen and Mr. Turner were doing brief narrations in a black-white background, they parodying the film noir style, and spoof that movie. Adding by, when Jorgen does that a poof cloud reads "Film Noir".
- Mr. Turner and Jorgen break the fourth wall by acknowledging the detective narration to someone else because they were confused (Mrs. Turner; Poof).
Friday the 13th (franchise) - Mr. Turner chases Dinkleberg with a hockey mask and chainsaw, alluding to the film franchise's antagonist Jason Voorhees.

Running Gags

Timmy says that something isn't as simple as it seems, but someone tells him that it really is that simple.
Cosmo hiding Timmy's parents somewhere dangerous after thinking of hiding them somewhere safe, but then thinks that's crazy.
Mr. Turner kept reminding himself that he's Mr. Dinkleberg's ghost.
Mr. Turner and Mrs. Turner continuously use pictures of them in spy costumes when spying Timmy through a peephole.

Goofs

MeetTheOddParents615 — Timmy' buck teeth disappear

When Timmy was crying, his buckteeth disappear for two scenes.
Mr. Turner wished that he would be the President of the U.S. by making everyone magically vote for him. Da Rules says that you can't use magic to win in a contest and it might count in an election.
- This rule could have a loophole though as Mr. Turner didn't wish for him to win the presidency.
In Balance Of Flour, Cosmo (and by implication Wanda) couldn't poof up brownies, but in this episode, Wanda poofs up brownies for Mr. and Mrs. Turner, though this may have been because they weren't magic brownies (unlike in Balance of Flour).
When the car crash is seen in Paris, almost all the cars (except the Volkswagen) don't have drivers.
In Abra-Catastrophe! Jorgen seems to immediately know when Timmy's parents find out about the existence of fairies, as evidenced by a cloud that sucks up Cosmo and Wanda seconds after Timmy tells. However, in this episode Jorgen has to find out non-magically.
While Cosmo said in this episode that he likes nuts in his lemonade, Wanda stated in Squirrely Puffs that he was allergic to nuts. Of course, being allergic doesn't stop some people from eating the food anyway.
When Mr. Turner finds the ring towards the end, the ring doesn't have hair until Mrs. Turner said it has.
When Mr. Turner tells her wife about the ring, one part of the driveway wasn't covered with tar. But in another scene, all the driveway was covered with tar.
When Poof poofs up a crazy straw for Mr. Turner, his left ear was missing.
