Fairly Oddparents. One of the most successful cartoons of all time...what happened to it?
While I’ve covered the ins and outs of it before, today we’re going to be reviewing
the worst episode of the show, otherwise known as the episode that marked the death
of this show. I’ve talked in detail about this show from top to bottom in my retrospective,
I deep dived with some other Youtubers who I hate about all of creator Butch Hartman’s mistakes,
I’ve done some solo reviews and comparisons, BUT TODAY, I am gonna go to the bottom of the
barrel and try to review the absolute worse episode of Fairly Oddparents!
No surprise here, the episode in question is from season 10,
which was the worst and last season to be squirted out of this zombie show
back in 2016. The episode in question? Girly Squirrely. Let’s get into this crap.
We start off with a very beautiful title card,
showing off Mr. Turner’s gorgeous fingernails, and the magic of season 10 animation!
Speaking of animation, we start off the episode in a camping trip, as Timmy’s dad sets the entire
forest on fire! How zany and spectacular! Haha, he made a fire pun! That’s comedy 101!
Okay everyone, so today we are going to be animating an episode of Fairly Oddparents!
First, you open photoshop, or whatever app you managed to pirate on your computer.
Draw a shoe, then draw two or possibly THREE frames of fire. Then place the fire...here
burn it, and inhale the fumes until you die a miserable death, you piece of-
Okay, so back to the episode, we realize it was all a dream! Timmy wakes up and screams...very
high-pitched. Seriously, did Tara Strong check her Twitter feed again? Timmy says he was dreaming
about going on another squirrely scout trip, and says that will never happen. 1 second later,
Timmy’s dad says that its going to happen! That’s so funny! Mr Turner comes in and---
(sad music plays)
Turner, what did you do with your life? All those years of turmoil,
of distress! Look at what you’ve become, why oh why?? You had so much to live for,
now look at you! A sad, old man who has to embarrass yourself for
the likes of stupid kids who watch you make weird jokes on television. WHY???
THEN A BEAR COMES OUT OF NOWHERE!
THAT’S SO RANDOM! AM I ACTING A LITTLE WEIRDER THAN USUAL? SORRY,
I’M JUST FOLLOWING MY HERO BUTCH HARTMAN AND BEING WEIRD AND ZANY IN HOPES OF MAKING SOMEONE LAUGH.
*crying* Please laugh, I need to feed my kids. (delete channel button)
Oh christ, Chloe’s here. I can’t even keep up this facade anymore. Her voice
just infuriates me, her design is so annoying! Her entire character
ruins everything this show represents! WHY DID NICKELODEON FORCE THIS CRAP?
Then we cut to the Squirrely Scout bus. I was completely fine with not seeing all the kids
shake their butts, thanks anyway. And is it just me or this funny isn’t funny in the slightest?
Kids probably hate this too, like seriously. This show has basically resorted to really lazy puns,
annoying voices, and forced plotpoints, like OF COURSE COSMO AND WANDA BURN THEIR WANDS IN SOME
RANDOM BEAR’S STOMACH ACID! Oh, we cut back to Chloe. At this point I’d rather listen to
someone get choked and then drowned then listen to her stupidly annoying excuse for a voice!
Look, she’s doing the finger from the bad Ren and Stimpy! Chloe tells them to climb this mountain
for some stupid reason (just go along with it there’s only 5 minutes left) and they run
up the lazily animated hill. Seriously, do the animators know what composition is? YOU DON’T
MAKE YOUR CHARACTERS RUN FORWARD WITH NO SPACE IN FRONT OF THEM! That’s rule number 1! I mean,
it also doesn’t help that when it zooms in, I get a fricking carcinogen from all the moving
objects on my screen! Then we move on to rafting, because this episode takes place in the wild and
of course we need them to swim or something! And can we talk about how every character in this
episode is flanderized to oblivion? It’s actually terrible, considering Chloe is super annoying,
Timmy’s dad, all the other scouts, and Cosmo and Wanda, are just braindead for the entire episode,
and Timmy is an irritating jerk, there’s not any characters for me to cling onto. Everyone here
is like an exaggerated version of themselves, and it gets super obnoxious in some parts. Then they
fall down a waterfall! Good, does that mean we can all go home now? Of course, no, and we cut
to Chloe’s annoying voice again. If you think I’m exaggerating, just listen to these clips.
*montage*
It also doesn’t help that the entire soundtrack is just one jingle set on
loop for 11 minutes. That stuff gets on your nerves fast when you listen for it!
They talk about quitting, which makes Chloe get mad again, and oh goddammit, she’s about to talk
again. I swear, every word she says is like Chinese water torture for me! SHE LITERALLY
CALLED THE SQUIRRELY SCOUT SONG STUPID! IF THEY CAN BE SELF AWARE WHILE WRITING THIS BULLCRAP
SO CAN I! I blinked, and Chloe got kidnapped by fricking Big Foot, oh sorry I meant Stink Foot,
gets saved by them 30 seconds later, they get chased or something back into the bus,
Cosmo and Wanda get sneezed back into the plot, and they drive away. Holy crap.
If I wanted to get slapped for 11 minutes with annoying voices, annoying screaming,
annoying music, annoying writing, and annoying animation… well...I don’t really have an
alternative for this. In those aspects it does really well at really getting under my skin.
