Here's a part 2 to my most popular video. I absolutely love this retro 90s art style/quality and the way Cosmo is more like a slick business man rather than a numb skull. I plan on posting one more of these because I remember there being another on of these episodes where they go to a toga party or something, but I seriously can't find it anywhere.
After that, I got enough votes from you guys to change my scope for my channel. I want to post video essays, theories, and rankings on cartoons now and I'm very excited.

I like the idea of Cosmo's old characterization being that of someone who's over confidence gets the better of him rather than being outright stupid.
Me too
Hay I made a monkey Me: Nani?! Cosmo can do that
I honestly prefer the original version than the one we got
I also prefer Vicky not being an outright psychopath and just being a teenager who goes a little power mad when she's in charge of other kids.
Yea, he looks more like a father, but they made him so stupid that basically Timmy could parent him
I honestly liked it when Cosmo's voice was deeper, he had an IQ higher than a single digit, and he and Wanda had a sweet and wholesome relationship.
I feel like his IQ even reached triple digits!
@@Eldoofus I would argue he was street smart back in the day. but then they doubled down on his dumb moments and turned him into that.

Man, if Cosmo were like this in the actual show... the first season aren't bad tho, especially with Channel chasers.
Honestly, watching this show as a kid I never really liked it, I only liked the bright colors. I guess it could have actually been watchable in the earlier seasons but I completely despise this show now. (the voices also drove me crazy, they sounded like they were hyped up on... some kind of drug XD) That's not the point, tho
The creator himself is very sexist and kind of a womanizer. I think in the later seasons maybe they tried to go for different vibes. I remember an episode where that little brat wished for all the women and girls, including one of his fairies (I'm assuming that's Wanda but i forgot names), to be sent on another island... I also remember an episode where the male fairy got pregnant, and I'm a little concerned why all the female characters, especially the young girls, are like dumb or mean! Like, that Butch Hartman guy must have not been very popular with the ladies in his life. I saw a video where he was kinda flirting with and teasing one of the voice actresses, and he also has the biggest ego ever rn but it's mostly about his art. I'm not telling you to hate the show, I'm just saying I had a bad experience watching it as a kid. The episodes I remember made me feel so awkward, but I feel like they were the more recent ones. (I don't like telling people my age on CZcams, but I'm in that 18-21 age range) Maybe the older ones aren't that bad but it still makes me cringe.
yo that and the video game one those were the shit!

They were the stereotypical ideal couple. Also extremely responsible. The dumbness was probably the result of needing Timmy's more wacky wishes granted.
True
Maybe they could've granted those by trying to give him a valuable lesson (in fairy logic)
Then failing.
That's what I would've done, because this character dynamic would have been sacred on day one.
This was also back when they still felt like Timmy's actual godPARENTS and not just his weird adultchild pals
I KNOW RIGHT? One of the key reasons why the show went downhill is this
Ikr?
That's a good way to put it
FAIRLY ODD parents, not fairy god
ikr
This Cosmo probably would've been the father figure Timmy actually needed
Right, cuz kids want no depth 😑
Which is why they try watching adult cartoons before 12. And the kid friendly stuff ends up on the back burner. This Cosmo would have kept comedy and kid friendly, not just a idiot for comic relief
@@UntitIed123 Timmy was Basically Depressed before Cosmo and Wanda bruh
@@UntitIed123 Guess kids don’t deserve good quality writing. Cause kids are too STUPID for that. /s
We should just take out all the story from shows such as ‘Avatar | The Last Airbender’, ‘Bluey’, ‘Batman the Animated Series’, ‘NinjaGo’, etc.
That’s how you turn shows such as ‘Teen Titans’ into the drivel that is ‘Teen Titan Go’.
Dumbing down kids shows is so insulting. Children understand much more than they’re given credit for.
There’s a huge difference between making things age appropriate, and dumbing things down.

I recall someone saying the original dynamic was that Wanda was better with Da Rulez and was overall more book-smart, while Cosmo was street-smart and okay with causing a bit of mischief. As much as I love the Fairly Odd Parents we got, I do still wish this was the dynamic they kept.

Those two were really couple goals before they turned into stereotypcal married couple, I really miss their wholesome dynamic...
"I married the smart one!"
"i married the...well he's cute, right?"
Yeah, those were WAY better and funnier than what it's turned into.
For real! It really shows how different Oh Yeah Cartoons and first season Cosmo is. The Cosmo in the later seasons is such a far cry from the Cosmo who genuinely loves Wanda and defended her against his mom when she wanted to end their marriage
Yeah it's too bad Butch decided to go full boomer with their relationship.
Oh I know, they were so cute ☺️✨
And Cosmo "had" poof... weird af
I grew up with another Cosmo, but I still prefer this. I think it fits better the concept. Timmy has a stupid father and a negligent mother. Wanda is a good opposite of Timmy's mom; Cosomo is exactly like Timmy's dad. Concept wise having a more smart and responsible father-figure would have been more wholesome to me
I agree the dumb dad thing was overused at that point
Casmo was much more annoying in the actual show. But this Casmo is so much better. He actually contributes to the show.
I honestly wish that contrast was kept in the long run. God damnit Butch.
Both his parents are dumb and negligent

now THIS Cosmo makes sense that he ended up beating Wanda’s ex. He has EVERYTHING
His old Voice was actual Perfection, And no one can tell me otherwise xD Gosh watching these old Episodes fills me with so much happiness, If only Cosmo had kept this level of Character in the entire show, I'm sure it would have made the Show even better then it already was :P "Leading up to it's eventual decline of course"
Imagine all the Tumblr porn there would be if they kept the voice.
@KennyMk3045@ I’ll respectfully disagree about Bloo. Whereas I feel that making Cosmo dumber made him worse, I loved Bloo as a dick. He became my favorite character, whereas in that pilot movie I didn’t really like him that much.
I agree his older voice was perfect for the comedy
@KennyMk3045@ I don't think Cosmo ever really become selfish and obnoxious as Bloo's level, he did take good care of the reckless idiot part though.
I'm fairly sure this is Phil Hartman, and unfortunately he could only be used here as he was murdered by his wife in the late 90s. :(
This version of Cosmo is soooo much better than the one who know now
So remove the comedy from the show?

@@yourstrength1314 Bad move on the writers' part IMO.
I might've been on purpose because I did read an interview with Butch Hartman, in some special magazine back around 2003, where he mentioned turning Cosmo and Timmy's dad into total morons, so he was well aware of the change/flanderization.
@@phatcat3705 I agree As a Kid I never really liked fairly Odd Parents the characters were too wacky which made them annoying, they dropped the ball by changing the Original Characters.
Ya know from what I remember Cosmo wasn't dumb he was just pretending to give Timmy the opportunity to make a mistake and learn. Because Wanda was more cautious and wouldn't. Kinda like real parents one is more strict one is more permissive.
When they predict skibidi toilet 💀
I appreciate the dynamic to Wanda and Cozmo this way. The both of them being a bit ditsy creates a synergy where they rely on one another. It's a far more likable dynamic. They're odd, but ultimately good parents because they're a stable, supportive, relationship. Something Timmy desperately needs. In the official show they're more dysfunctional than Timmy's actual parents are.
Which kind of kills me inside to realize now.
Agree with most parts except being worse than his actual parents.
Guess you could say that they’re… fairly odd.
I wouln't call them dysfunctional but rather cartoonish, the bases of their relationship are still there but it's just overreacted.
You could say they're... fairly odd.
Damn as a kid I didn't appreciate just how good Cosmo's voice actor was.
If you want to hear the deep voice more, he voices Knock Out in Transformers: Prime
Easy come easy go i guess
daran norris did both versions of cosmo’s voice, it’s amazing

1:46 Timmy predicted Skibidi Toilet
I knew someone would say that
zoomers demonstrating their idiocy
In the full show, it's been stated before that 2 wands are more powerful than just one, which makes sense. But does that mean that any fairies without partners aren't able to do their job effectively? Because Cosmo and Wanda's performance died down pretty significantly in the show when either they split up or one of them lost their wand, and Cosmo said that the pumpkin coach was the best he could do with only his wand, so doesn't that seem a little unfair for other kids? Like the rich kid who had Juandissimo. Sure, the kid was upset about Timmy having 2 fairy godparents, but more because it meant Timmy had something better in the psychological department rather than the physical department, but would that kid only having Juandissimo mean that he can't have the same wish capability as Timmy? Like, for example, if they tried wishing for the exact same thing that required a lot of magical energy from their respective fairies, would that mean Timmy has the advantage there? I think I kinda answered my own question, but what I'm trying to say is, isn't Timmy having 2 fairies over the usual 1 kinda unfair to other kids, not just in the quantity but quality department?
I think it’s more of a non issue since crazy wishes are a rule infraction or monumental bad ideas, like the super wishes. I don’t think any Godkid has them but super bike and super toilet were traumatizing so they shouldn’t have them either. Plus Cosmo and Wanda are “Two halves of a whole idiot” they help balance each other and make wishes better, but they are very error prone when solo. Like in the clip a vague wish of a manly costume, Cosmo’s interpretation left much to be desired.
Would you mind if I used this topic for a future video essay? I'll give you credit for bringing it up
@@Skainz69 Sure, go ahead.
I think Timmy was given two fairies because his life was so much worse compared to others, so yes he has the advantage, but simply because he was given the short end of the stick
@@Breadward_MacGluten Honestly tho, when you watch the show I wouldn't say his is worse than other kids. I mean, at least in the beginning, his parents still loved him and were good parents, they just left him with Vicky (who babysits other kids). So I think the theory about Cosmo and Wanda just working better together makes the most sense
It was very interesting, in the beginning Cosmo was goofy but clever. He seemed so sophisticated yet also the one most game to play with Timmy, even while still seeming so mature. Wanda was the one who seemed almost crazy in comparison lol. Now, they’ve both been flanderized.
Cosmo became retard
Wanda became wife
I believe the original idea was that Cosmo was supposed to be more street smart. While Wanda was supposed to be more book smart. It really sucks they threw this dynamic away, it would have been so good. I honestly think Cosmo is a bit annoying compared to his original counterpart.
Yep
Flanderization implies they took something from the original.
It wasn't really that Wanda was crazy and more just still adjusting to being a fairy for kids. Which given the backstory later established, makes sense with this Wanda more than the one from later.
This all could have been avoided by timmy wishing for the wand back
It would have improved the show a lot if we didn't have two stupid fathers. Imagine Cosmo as the father that Timmy always wanted: smart and caring, not stupid and neglectful like his actual dad.
I always imagined Cosmo and Wanda being parental figures to Timmy due to his actual parents being absolutely neglectful. Overtime, they kinda abandonned this theme in place of comedy but I wished they had focused on that more and build upon it. I really think FOP would've benefitted from having an ongoing narrative like Danny Phantom but given the demand of episodic comedies at the time it wasn't gonna happen.
Right? I would imagine it would have been like those old sitcoms like "I Dream of Jeannie" or "Bewitched", but in a modern age.
@@tomboyangel78 a month late but I definitely agree with this lol
Damn, you hit the nail right on the head lol
Try to give the Fairly Oddparents a more serious tone.
yea...
Even when I was younger, I had a theory that Wanda played dumber / more airheaded in earlier seasons to make Cosmo feel smarter and more confident. I was sad when the dynamic switched and became the usual "husband is idiot" trope because it could have lead to some sweeter moments where Wanda had to take proper charge and he would love her all the same because he kinda always knew she acted airheaded only for him.

I almost mistaken he was Anti Cosmo
honestly, the dynamic between the three feels so much better, wanda is less naggy, timmy is less rude, and cosmo isn't an idiot, but the plot moves forward, and still has the comedic moments in it. its such a shame they went for the alternative direction
also the conflicts caused aren't from stupidity, or arrogance, but genuine mistakes, ignorance, or being too vague on wishes, its kinda weird they are more open to showing up around people though, i kinda prefer the newer version of "nobody must see fairies"
Though a problem with them always being sleuthy about it is that it made their presence with Timmy boring. Seeing them at least occasionally veer their heads from hiding made sense since they can magically become anything. Sad it just turned into them being used as various disguises.
I like Timmy being rude.
The fairies could be around people because they were having a costume party, they thought they were kids
Too vague on wishes? When Timmy wishes to be the most wanted man in America, Tweedle Dee and Dumb make him wanted by the authorities when not one minute before he was talking about being rejected by women.
How the hell do they flub that up? Who in their right mind confuses being wanted by the police over being wanted by women in that context?
That was on them.

This was the old Cosmo whose intelligence challenged the viewers own intelligence especially regarding the wishes made and how the worsened the situation. I miss this so much
It was only 3 minutes of footage shown and he’s already MUCH more likeable, this version is charming and has a nice voice and actually helps the plot move along nicely along with the wholesome moments between the two, they could’ve had a lot more flexibility with how the show would use him if they had kept this version of him

Yeah Mordern Cosmo Sucks
I love that. They’re such a cute couple, omg.
This says a lot about how flanderization and bad writing has impacted shows as they run longer
It also says a lot about why Nick isn't the same beloved kids channel we used to know and love nowadays.
Cosmo losing his intelligence wasn't caused by writer's burnout, otherwise he would have been smart for the entire first few seasons, and probably even longer. That was a specific decision made early on by the writing team. I imagine it was caused by an attempt to make the show's humor more slapstick in order to appeal to children, especially considering the show was amassing a pretty large child demographic at the time.
context aside: i watched some of the very first episodes of fairly odd parents and i could immediately tell a MASSIVE difference, things were much slower paced back then and abit easier to watch without cringing every 5 seconds
These clips are from before season 1 so it’s not really flanderization. The Cosmo we all know and love was the dumb one from the early seasons 1-6. This surprisingly predates that
...Cosmo always was dumb...

Him and Patrick have the same poor development. They started off well-intentioned. Even if they weren't the brightest, they genuinely cared for their friends/family and wanted to see them happy. And even then, they _did_ have their smart moments. But as their series progressed they just became one dimensional characters whose entire purpose was 'haha look they're so dumb!!!' They stripped away all of the charm and made them borderline cruel/neglectful.
The difference is Patrick post sequel had some of his older character restored when Hillenburg started writing for the show again
I've seen this happen to a lot of characters, not even just in cartoons. Goku is literally braindead these days when back in Z he was just naive but still had a lot of clever and cunning moments. Now he's just extremely one dimensional and dumb as a rock.

Gotta love that Cosmo and Wanda are relationship goals since from the pilot.
I guess I never really noticed they changed his voice actor. He sounded smarter with this voice too
Same voice actor, he just uh has good range
They didn't change the actor. He just ended up doing Cosmo with a higher voice
He plays both Cosmo and Timmy’s dad, he wanted to differentiate their voices more, but I think I would’ve been smarter to just keep this Cosmo voice and either keep Timmy’s dad’s voice the same or re-cast him
I wish they kept this Cosmo and Wanda dynamic.
1:47 skibidi timmy
this version is well thought. when i was a kid it's just silly comedy, now im impressed by how they made simple cartoon with really neat composition
I forgot how deep the characters voices were at the start of the show. Kinda makes you realize how much it’s changed over the years of production.
Man I kinda wish we had this Cosmo, he seems like a fatherly figure
1:50 I am going clinicly insane
If Cosmo stayed this way, there'd probably be way more... "fanart" of him around the internet.. lol
Cosmo not only was Smart, Also was romantic
Ikr
Bro I wish they kept Cosmo and Wanda like this, their relationship was so much more wholesome than it is now and seeing Cosmo not being literally braindead is just satisfying for me
esque siempre mostraron a cosmo picaron pero cambio a ser completamente estupido aun asi nunca dejo de ser un don juan.
