YMMV / The Fairly OddParents! S1E1 "The Big Problem!"

• Harsher in Hindsight:
  • Vicky worries about getting into trouble for Timmy seemingly disappearing. Later episodes would show Vicky having no qualms about harming Timmy, even going as far as attempting to murder him in some cases.
  • Near the end of the episode, Timmy gets mistaken for a pervert by Vicky and arrested and thrown in jail by the police. In 2021, Drake Bell, who played Timmy in the Fairly OddParents live-action movie trilogy, was arrested on charges of attempted endangering children and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles.
• Values Resonance: This episode can hit hard for an adult, who watched the show as a child, since the episode shows the hardships of adulthood, and many millennials could not help but relate to this message.
