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 suppose to be the series finale 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.

Agent Dad

  • 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.
  • Peter Pan - In the photograph album, there's a picture in which Timmy, Cosmo, Wanda, Mr. and Mrs. Turner are all in England at the top of the Big Ben which is a reference to one scene of the movie.
  • T.U.F.F. Puppy - Vicky's headgag is Dudley Puppy, a character from the series.
  • 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 AdventureDisney's Hollywood Studios, Tokyo Disneysea and Walt Disney Studios Park. Although the Tower of Terror is a drop ride.
  • Phineas and Ferb - The fedora that Mr. Turner was wearing at the beginning is similar to Agent P' fedora hat.
    • The end of the episode (when Timmy's parents have their memories of Timmy's fairy godparents erased so Timmy can keep them) is also similar to the end of the movie, when Phineas and Ferb have their memories of discovering Perry's true identity removed so they can still keep him as a pet.
  • Thomas & Friends - The pirate that appears at the beginning of the episode sounds like Salty.
  • 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).
  • Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil - When Timmy make-up himself, he closely resembles Kick after being made-up in Trike X-5 and Hand in Hand.
  • Jason Voorhes - When Mr. Turner was chasing Dinkleberg with a chainsaw, he is just like Jason.

Running Gags

  • Mr. Turner and Mrs. Turner continuously use pictures of them in spy costumes when spying Timmy through a peephole.

Goofs

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.
