Trivia

• This is the first time Timmy's classroom is shown, as well as his teacher Mr. Crocker, and his school principal Mrs. Waxelplax.
• This episode is the first time that features Cosmo and Wanda in a disguised human form. The second one was in Fairy Friends & Neighbors.
• The Crocker Cave was just a phone booth here in this episode, but it's turned into a high-tech facility in the later episodes. This suggests that Crocker, at some point after this episode, somehow got a lot of money and used it to create the said high-tech facility.
• This is the 4th episode that Vicky doesn't appear in it. The other 3 episodes are Oh Yeah! Cartoons episodes ("The Temp!," "The Zappys!," & "Super Humor.")
• In a later episode "The Big Scoop!," Timmy's files show pictures of the conference though Cosmo and Wanda are shown in Timmy's parents' clothes rather than their own clothes.
• When Mr. Crocker is in a fantasy made up by him, he is shown wearing the same suit he wore in "Abra-Catastrophe!," albeit different in style, destroying an unnamed teacher and Mrs. Waxelplax.
• The ending card says "Made in Hollywood U.S.A!"
• This is the first episode with a post black-out scene.
• The secondary reason Principal Waxelplax puts Crocker in detention is promising two small boys they could enslave the Earth, implying he had no intention of keeping said promise.

Allusions

• South Park - The school principal, Principal Waxelplax somewhat resembles Sheila Broflovski.
• The Simpsons - Principal Waxelplax and her hatred for Mr. Crocker is similar to Superintendent Chalmers and his hatred for Principal Skinner.

Goofs

• If fairies don't need to use the bathroom then why does Cosmo (and later Poof) sometimes wear diapers in some episodes? Also in some of the later episodes, fairies are shown going to the bathroom occasionally because they need to use the toilet. (i.e. In ""Truth or Cosmoquences," Cosmo went to the bathroom because he had to go)
• At one scene when Cosmo yells "COFFEE!," he has buck teeth like Timmy.
• When Crocker approaches Cosmo and Wanda, and looks at Timmy, you will see that his buck teeth are missing. But when Timmy is apologizing to Crocker, his buck teeth are back.
• According to this episode, fairies can't breathe, don't need to go to the bathroom, and are immune to electricity, but in the next few episodes it's shown that this is not totally true. (All of this could just be Crocker's assumption, however).
  • The last one is the only one that Crocker actually assumed. The others were actually stated or implied by Cosmo and Wanda while they were in human form. Also, it may not be that they are necessarily immune to electricity. It just does not kill them because they are immortal and fast healers.
• Mr. Crocker said that if Cosmo survived the electric chair, then it proves that he is a fairy, but he himself survived the electric chair, so he should have thought he himself is a fairy.
  • Mr. Crocker may have gotten dazed from the shock of the chair and suddenly forgot about his fact.
• A.J. is extremely smart, so he should have recognized the Pollywallyoptasaurus as a real living being.
  • A.J. might not have believed that it could be possible, especially since Timmy (not some scientist) was the one that brought it in, despite the evidence of his own eyes. Alternatively, that may be because extremely smart does not mean "knows everything about everything, and able to identify everything as exactly what it is or simply know whether it's fake or not."
• When Chester and A.J. argue over who should go into the girls' bathroom, A.J. initially keeps repeating "I'm not goin' in, you go in." But when we see them continuing the same argument sometime later, A.J. now just says "No, you go in."

Running Gags

• Cosmo and Wanda always tripping or bumping into objects while Crocker does the same thing.
• Cosmo and Wanda not knowing the basics on being humans.
• Characters thinking that the pollywallyoptasaurus is a chicken.
• A.J. and Chester setting off a cuckoo clock at Mr. Crocker at random times.

(Chester and Timmy hang up)

• A.J.: Doesn't anyone say goodbye anymore?

• Mr. Crocker: It may just be a phone booth inside the janitor's closet (his fingers get trapped in the door) - OUCH! - but after I capture Timmy's fairies and harness their magical powers for my own use (his fist smashes into the top of the phone booth) - DARN IT! - I'll get not only the proper equipment, but also the respect and (his hand smacks into the door) - GAH! - admiration that I have so (his fists punch the top of the phone booth)- OWCH! - long eluded me!

• Crocker:I need only to get them to sit in my special electric fairy detector chair. If they survive, they're FAIRIES! If they don't, I HAVE TENURE!! May I offer you a chair?
• Cosmo: Certainly, may I offer you a fish? (Cosmo hands Crocker a fish which drops onto the ground. Crocker then steps on the fish and slips backwards, causing him to sit in his own trap and get electrocuted along with the fish which becomes fish sticks.) Oh neat fish sticks I'm starved. (Cosmo takes one of the fish sticks and starts eating it)
• Crocker:Eh, I'll be right back after I chip off the dead skin.

• Timmy: I think he's suspicious so be on your toes (Cosmo and Wanda tip-toed literally and fell off balance) I'm doomed.

• Mr. Crocker: At last! Timmy's godpa- I mean parents, Mr. and Mrs. Godturner. It's a pleasure to meet you...

• Wanda: What was that last one?
• Denzel Crocker: (unsure) Sugar?
• Denzel crocker: Oh, perfect!

• Principal Waxleplax: A week of detention for all of you! (points to Timmy) You for faking your show and tell, (points to Chester and A.J.) you two for going into the girls bathroom! (points to Crocker) And you for trapping me in a toilet paper cocoon and promising two small boys they could enslave the earth! (as Waxelplax points her finger at Crocker's nose, toilet paper on Waxelplax's finger gets stuck onto Crocker's nose) THAT'S NOT RIGHT!!!!! (Principal Waxelplax storms out of the detention room)
