The Fairly OddParents (a.k.a. The Jumpy SharkParents) is one of many Nickelodeon cartoons that have gone from lulzy to shit in no time flat. Starring a ten-year-old boy with wish-granting fairies that either nag, bitch or almost kill everyone, they spend each episode solving a problem he himself wished for, when in reality, he could've just not wished it to begin with, but the hurrdurr's 10-year-old curiosity doesn't follow logic, and that's why we have a show.
Despite the already ridiculous concept and shit animation, the series only got worse as it went on, surprising right? It evolved from just being boring into a plague of cookie cutter writing and repetitive gags, and came up with new and exciting ways to insult us and keep the plot going like it was punishment to even deny its god-like influence.
Some argue the series' downfall began with the introduction of Poof, a fairy baby who Timmy wished for that could divide the universe by zero when it shit its pants, and because Nickelodeon didn't have enough mpreg in its lineup. Others say that it was the unimaginably unnecessary live-action movie and its Christmas spinoff which said "Hey, we can kill Drake Bell's acting career more, right?". Others blamed it on this magic dog that does nothing more than... Well, be a dog. But a maaaaaaaagic dog. But you would be wrong, as it hit rock fucking bottom when Mary Sue, under the alias Chloe Carmichael, started sharing with Timmy's faries. Remember when it was established that only miserable kids got fairies? Well, season 10 yelled "FUCK THAT!"
It's quite apparent at this point Butch Hartman and his ex-friend and FOP writer Steve Marmel just wants to end the series and work on other projects such as Danny Phantom, but Nick keeps ordering more seasons. The fact that it's still running today is amazing, especially when compared to Nick's other lovechild SpongeBob SquarePants, which, while also running for too fucking long, still continues to air episodes and make a shitload of money, whereas FOP is hardly acknowledged by Nick anymore, has one of the most erratic schedules seen in an animated show, and generates practically no revenue whatsoever, making it a wonder it's lasted this long despite the fact nobody cares about the show anymore. Regardless, all that matters now is that the show currently sucks, going above and beyond its intended call of duty, gaining its infamy by making its own "IF I HAD ONE" meme early on.
