Trivia

• This is the last episode to premiere in 2004.
• This episode, along with "Fairy Friends & Neighbors!," "Just the Two of Us!" and "New Squid in Town!" premiered on the same day during Nicksgiving Weekend.
• When Sanderson in his Jorgen mechanical suit is showing Timmy a list of bad wishes, every single wish is one that Timmy made in past episodes:
  • Magic Muffin (Abra-Catastrophe!) (This wasn't a wish; the Magic Muffin was a gift for Timmy's Fairy-Versary Party)
  • Had Chip Skylark voice (Chip Off The Old Chip)
  • Super Toilet (Super Bike)
  • Cheese Pants (This Episode)
  • Octopus Powers (This Episode)
  • Invisibility (Timvisible)
  • Talking Roaches (Wanda's Day Off!)
  • Time Travel (Father Time!)
  • Became a Dog (Dog's Day Afternoon)
  • Went to Internet (Information Stupor Highway)
  • Freed a Goat (Dream Goat!)
  • Everyone was the same (The Same Game)
  • Life was an action movie (Action Packed)
  • Being Alone (Just the Two of Us!)
• Jorgen Von Strangle was in cooking class when Timmy wished for him to be in the Wish Fixers building.
• Foreshadowing: There is proof that the robot Jorgen is not the real Jorgen:
  • The robot Jorgen was talking in robot speak a few times.
  • The real Jorgen has huge biceps while the robot Jorgen doesn't.
  • The robot Jorgen has different clothes.
• The Pixies were last seen as darts for Jorgen's dart board game in "Pixies Inc.". This episode however shows them free and no longer being used as darts. It is possible they were able to trick Jorgen into letting them go through good behavior.
• Apparently, HP and Sanderson consider microbiology more boring than they are.
• This is the first time that Jorgen was impersonated.
• In the UK and Ireland, whenever a bad wish goes very wrong, the Head Pixie shocking Cosmo and Wanda has the screen edited. To prevent seizures for viewers, the scenes have removed some bits to remove almost all flashes. A similar edit also occurs in the remastered prints of "Bubble Buddy Returns" of SpongeBob SquarePants.
• The Ghost Pirate that is seen in this episode would make an appearance again in Animal Crockers.

Allusions

Similar Trousers

• SpongeBob SquarePants - Cosmo calls Timmy "Cheese Boy SquarePants" This is an (intentionally) obvious reference to the name of the famous character from the series.

• Wallace and Gromit: The Wrong Trousers - The Mechanical Cheese Pants Cosmo poofs up are a clear spoof of the Mechanical Trousers from the short. Also, the pants being cheese is also a reference to Wallace and Gromit's love of cheese.

• The Wizard of Oz - When Sanderson is shown, he says "Pay no attention to the fairy in the robot" - This quote is a reference to the film, The Wizard of Oz.

• The Beatles - When Timmy wishes Cosmo and Wanda are made of rubber, the poof cloud reads "Rubber Soul" which sounds like The Beatles' album from the same name.

• Spider-Man - Wanda's "Bad Wish" and "Don't Trust Pixies" senses are spoofs of Spider-Man Spidey Senses.

• 50 Cent - When HP says "Go me, go me, it's my birthday" is a parody of "Go, shawty, it's your birthday" which is the opening verse of 50 Cents song, In Da Club.

• When Pigs Fly - The first bad wish Timmy made is "When Pigs Fly" which is a reference to the idiom.

• Dead Men Tell No Tales - The second bad wish Timmy made is "Dead Men Tell No Tales "Which is a reference to the phrase.

• Raining Cats & Dogs - The third bad wish Timmy made is "Raining Cats & Dogs!" which refers to the idiom.

Running Gags

• A running gag in this episode is that Timmy makes a bad wish, and after he signs the contract HP will turn up the device and shock Cosmo and Wanda.
• Whenever HP points out to Timmy about something in the contract, he would say "Son of a gun", a very famous phrase.
• Cosmo screaming reminders because they "make them remember better".

Goofs

• How could the Pixies shock Cosmo and Wanda to death when fairy-type creatures are immortal (meaning they can't die)?
• How could Cosmo and Wanda make the wish for Jorgen to appear if their wands run on Wishawatts, a type of electricity, when their wands were rubber?
  • Ability to wish could have nothing to do with it.
