Go To

Original air date: 4/13/2001 (produced in 2000)

Episode number: 3b

Timmy goes on a fantastic voyage inside Vicky's body as part of a school project, which turns into a race against time to stop Vicky from wrecking the house and blaming Timmy.

This episode contains examples of:

  • All for Nothing: As noted below, Timmy's foray into Vicky's body is rendered for naught, getting an F anyways due to his first-hand account being seen as fantastical.
  • Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Timmy notes his own condition for the first time.
    Timmy: Well, I'm Timmy Turner. I'm ten years old and I have a short attention span. Also... (pauses for a moment, then walks off)
  • Cassandra Truth: Timmy's first-hand account report of the inner workings of the human body gets an F, being discounted as fantastical.
  • Crippling Overspecialization: Timmy's shrink suit can't reverse its shrinking. This is because he wished for a suit that shrinks and Cosmo and Wanda were both too dumb to think that he'd want or need to return to normal on his own.
  • Disney Creatures of the Farce: Vicky summons several animals to help her clean when she's nice.
  • Downer Ending: Despite Timmy witnessing how interesting the inside of the human body is, he ends up getting an F on his project.
  • Enmity with an Object: Vicky really hates the Turners' Priceless Ming Vase. Even more when it turns out they're okay with it breaking.
    Vicky: (to the vase) I hate you. (Beat) STOP MOCKING ME!
  • Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Anger, unlike the other emotions, resembles an adorable innocent little girl... but has a tenancy for shouting in fury.
  • "Fantastic Voyage" Plot: Timmy travels inside Vicky in this episode.
  • Incredible Shrinking Man: The episode starts out as this plot before drifting into a "Fantastic Voyage" Plot.
  • Literal Genie: Cosmo and Wanda he wishes for a shrink suit, but the suit can only shrink, not return to normal size. At the end of the episode, Timmy complains that he now has to write a report on "the wonders of the big universe". Cosmo and Wanda immediately extrapolate his previous wish and turn him into a planet-sized giant, prompting Timmy to Lampshade this trope.
    Timmy: You guys take everything way too literally.
  • Literal Metaphor: Because Vicky is so evil, her heart is a black hole.
  • Meaningless Villain Victory: Timmy actually breaks the vase like Vicky wanted to frame him for, but this actually makes his parents happy because the vase was insured for far more than what they paid for it.
  • Morality Dial: Vicky's emotions are controlled by people at monitors, like Pettiness, Jealousy and Anger. Timmy finds an empty one for Kindness, who never showed up, and uses such to make Vicky turn nice.
  • Mr. Alt Disney: On a tour of Vicky's body, Cosmo and Wanda come across Kidney Land and meet the owner Walt Kidney.
  • Priceless Ming Vase: Timmy's parents got a priceless Ming vase on the internet for $1 and insured it for $49,999, so when it got broken, they were not upset. Vicky was, though, because she'd gone to some trouble to get Timmy to break it so the parents would clobber him.
    Mom and Dad: "We're RICH! -ER!
  • Reed Richards Is Useless: Timmy briefly notes how much food there is for a shrunk person and considers using it to end world hunger. He promptly forgets this.
  • Skewed Priorities: Timmy's parents hire Vicky to watch their expensive vase... and Timmy, as an afterthought.
  • Souvenir Land: Vicky's kidneys have Kidney Land.
  • Storm in a Teacup: Timmy's parents buy an antique vase and warn Timmy and Vicky about how fragile it is. At the end of the episode, Timmy's stopped Vicky from breaking the vase, then breaks it himself. Just as Vicky starts to gloat, Timmy's parents begin laughing, it turns out the vase was one-dollar junk from a garage sale, but it was insured for fifty thousand dollars; and they were banking on it being broken.
  • Wild Teen Party: Vicky throws one to get Timmy in trouble.
