This is from the Pilot episode of Fairly Oddparents in 1998. Cosmo's voice was deeper and smoother and wayyyyyy cooler which made Wanda seem like the dumb one.
There's another episode from old Fairly Oddparents where Wanda is actually ridiculously stupid but I can't find it anywhere. I think they go to a costume party or something. If you know what I'm talking about, put a link in the comments

Now imagine cosmo and Wanda acting like this in the whole series, they would’ve act like actual parents to him
Yeah Cosmo and Wanda would make a great parents of Timmy instead of Timmy's mom and Timmy's dad
I would love the whole series cause honestly, cosmo afther the first movie was no longer funny :/
Yeah, and it makes sense because they're supposed to be Timmy's better version of his parents.
It'd be really interesting if they went full sitcom with it and had some insightful lesson every few episodes. Over time Cosmo and Wanda genuinely nurture Timmy to the point where he doesn't need them to be happy anymore and thus must go away forever
But hey what the hell's the point no popular show is allowed to end gracefully nowadays...

How Was It Cute ?

it was sacrificed to raise the pitch of cosmo’s voice and remove his brain

I can't believe this is Cosmo.
I can't. BELIEVE.
His sophisticated voice. His somewhat gentleman behaviour. Not braindead but actually kinda smart.
Fucking no way.
I love it when you put it that way
I remember the beginning episodes where it felt like there was a stark contrast between cosmo and who he became. Like, maybe the first 4 episodes he had this voice, but after a lil bit his voice became the voice we know and his IQ dropped dramatically.
Even though I remember the switch, it’s fun looking back at what was/could’ve been since I grew up with Stupid Cosmo.
Don’t blame you
Early FOP was a gem forgotten by time

It's weird seeing Cosmo and Wanda being an actual couple and not just being a broad stereotype of a marriage.
Flanderization hit them HARD, especially for Cosmo. The poor guy is nothing like this anymore, to the point where it's hard to believe he's still technically the same character
Huh really? Because that was the stereotype married couples back in the back the '50s - 80s. TV satires real-life marriage. So either portrayal isn't inaccurate.
@@matthewkuscienko4616 His official personality began during Season 1-2. This only the Oh Yeah Shorts. It’s not the official show. Practically no character acts the same within these pilots.
Remember kids he made his first wish 75 years ago according to the show
Because the husband has to have the wit of a bag of bricks and the wife has to be the kill joy burdened with intelligence and superiority, like every cliched sitcom.
His voice really sells the 1960's vibe Cosmo and Wanda were going for
1:11 - "Thats the first time the baby ever sat on the sitter."
*Seinfeld theme*
"Sorry, the secret word was pie."
I love how everyone thinks the "Chocolate Shake/Snake" joke is that Cosmo's wand is literally broken, and not that it's just Cosmo lying in order to pass off the blame of his mistake.
I mean I do this as well but how do you know he's lying and is blaming his wand for it?
@@thesmarticus4241 someone explained that this version of his character is supposed to be “street smart” which means he’s sketchy, sneaky and witty, it’s why he has the voice of a car salesman.

@@honeydipped street smarts doesn't mean sketchy
I'm actually more surprised that C & W had such a passionate relationship.
Even when the series separate from Oh Yeah Cartoons came out, they still had a very loving relationship. But for some reason, they eventually decided to go with the typical nagging wife/idiot husband relationship.

My absolute favorite cosmo pilot line 😭
“Woo woo baby, woo woo”
This Cosmo was written to be a quick-witted and clever jokester. Why did they resort to rewriting him to be an insufferable idiot?! Also, I love Cosmo and Wanda as a couple here, you can tell they were originally such a wholesome and loving couple! WTF HAPPENED!?!
Usa country of anti-father. That s why. And also can see some anti-white move.
I just realized Cosmo underwent the same change Homer Simpson did, only while Homer went from a decent family man to dumb but still capable of good deeds, Cosmo went from intelligent enough to function in society to a brain-dead moron. Also, his voice became more high-pitched for some reason.
There was a scene where Cosmo was “popcorn” and Timmy ate part of him, which was apparently his brain. czcams.com/video/L4pNFWoxavc/video.html
Oddly enough VA's always go through some weird higher pitch change when they play a certain character for a long time. Seth macfarlen said a lot of his characters went through a similar shift over time especially when it came to Peter Griffin. And Christina Vee OG voice for Marinette from Miraculous Ladybug was a little deeper in the first few episodes of season 1.

I love how this version of Cosmo made a mistake and misunderstood Timmy's "chocolate shake" wish, yet instead of his blundering, obnoxious stupidity, the writers justified it as an honest mistake and malfunctioning wand.
This Cosmo wasn’t dumb tho
@@jaquanscott1890 yeah, thats the point. accidents in the pilot weren't due to him being stupid, it was because of the wand

@Tom Sparrow Please elaborate
@@salj.5459 the basic gist of it is that episode about how Timmy wished to never age so he could keep his fairies forever and how it was a secret wish he made specifically just with Cosmo and then wished Cosmo would forget? Yeah so what if that had irreversible negative side effects? Like not being able to use your brain the same way again?

@@tomsparrow1823 AYO?
@@tomsparrow1823 O H
the "dumb husband" trope has been around for so long (the simpsons, family guy etc.) that this is really refreshing by comparison
Original idea: what if a kid had two fairy godparents who were both a little ditzy, but also smart in their own ways, and loved each other deeply.
What actually happened: What if we gave all of Cosmo’s brain cells to Wanda, then made him 100 times dumber. Then made Wanda a nag, and removed all chemistry and love between them.
Fun Fact: Cosmo's "old" voice actor is actually the same actor in later seasons, they just changed his voice for whatever reason.
Hes also the janitor in Big Tim Rush
@Stix N' Stones no lmao we still remember. Check out the vids Nick put out where the cast reacts to the show years later
The voice just makes him sound more smart than his "new" voice
@Stix N' Stones that was good show for how little it gets remembered
He didn’t change he just developed the voice more and it over time grew into the one we have now probably due to the scripts making him more dumb his motivations and motifs caused subtle changes that also grew along with the voice to alter it
I can tell you with utmost sincerity that had this been popularized in the 2010 era, Cosmo would definitely have been a tumblr sexyman by just his voice alone
Both the voice and his wit really. It's a shame, how he got too dumb for Tumblr by that point.
@@klltx2001 Yep. I'm saying this as a Tumblr fan myself- when someone or something is too dumb for *Tumblr*, of all sites, that's when you know you've gone too fast with the character's idiocy.
its not too late, we can still make it happen
I mean, it’s true, but you shouldn’t say it!
as an avid Transformers fan, I believe his voice actor played a character in Transformers Prime (Knockout) who is a tumblr sexyman lol
I can’t believe Cosmo’s voice was so deep
This feels like a completely different show
I love their Jessie & James Team Rocket vibe. There’s even a moment where Wanda is the sillier one and summons the rule book on top of Timmy.

THIS ISN'T A DELTARUNE REFERENCE AAAAA
The deal is F' off because Vickey is icky.
I genuinely prefer Cosmo like this, yea we got a good giggle outta the stupid version of him but imagine a cosmo that was intelligent enough to understand if Timmy was upset. He wouldn’t approach him like a goof but instead as a friend or even a father figure since it was obvious his parents were never there for him when he needed them. The idea of his wand being slightly janky to him being stupid is far more interesting and makes the power couple of Cosmo and Wanda that much more adorable.
Yeah, I agree, I just don’t like the pilot voice, but I enjoy everything else about this version
Or they could've just made it so cosmo had some hearing problems or something and that to be the reason he gets the wishes wrong sometimes
So damn true, and this even works beyond the show, giving that at the time (at least for me), that trope of dumb characters being comic reliefs were tiring, but characters that were smarter yet charismatic (like this cosmo) works WAY better, even more compared to other series
Agreed
But then the show would be a lot shorter since Timmy would've matured a lot faster and became happy even faster as well.
He has such a saltry voice i love it. ❤️ the "i am your father" line got me.

The weirdest thing is that it's the same voice actor.
@@poopman2524
I think Phil Hartman was meant to be original voice of Cosmo.
Phil Hartman's voice was Darran Norris' inspiration for Cosmo in these pilots. As the show became its own thing, Darran tried to make it his own, raising the pitch, but keeping the tone. A lot of voice actors just do impressions of other actors, putting their own spin on them to make them unique for the character. Hank Azaria has said that playing police officer Lou on the Simpsons is his way of a bad Sylvester Stallone impression.
I really wish they would have kept them like this, where they had chemistry and were flirty with each other and neither of them seemed like they were forced to be in the marriage. Plus they were funny like this! Witty even
I agree they should’ve kept them like that for a while but it would’ve gotten corny after too long , ‘most couples don’t stay that way as long as they’ve been married
I mean they were really close for a few seasons and a lot of episodes but yeah they kind of fell into the “wife bad” trope especially later on

Cosmo and Wanda work as foils for each other, his goofiness balancing out her seriousness, her maturity leveling out his immaturity. In no way should they be an example of the perfect, healthy couple. It is purely meant for comedy and humor is subjective.
@@smileychips7448 okay but it's teaching kids that it's normal & they can both be normal
@@__-fk4jz but FOP is not going to be the only show they watch. There are other children shows and movies that will show them different types of relationships that are healthy. Plus, if FOP is that toxic, a kid’s parent/guardian will have them watch something else. Don’t forget about a child’s environment with their family and friends will also be an influence on them as well.
So, unless a child is watching FOP exclusively, they will not be patterning their love life on the show. There will be a few other factors that would make them toxic partners.

@@JustLikeYou. yeah, I know. I was referring to the creators not realizing what a gem they had in the original Cosmo. It doesn't make any sense that they dumbed him down in order to make him "funny" when he already was.
I love this. I miss them like this 😭
I really liked this version of Cosmo and Wanda; being so soft spoken yet quick witted gave them a kind of sarcastic almost malevolent vibe; almost like they were beings intent on causing chaos so they could laugh at it.
Too bad they both became louder and more obnoxious as time went on.
Right?
More like the writers got dumber.
@@SuperNormalMan or they thought kids would like dumber
yeah I like this characterization, makes them more fairy-like (as in the traditional folkloric mischievous fairies that are said to play mean spirited tricks on humans)
@@kupaakaleo137 which worked, btw.
i dont think this fairly oddparents would stay and be remembered as did ours
Cosmo sounds like a more polite Zap Brannigan
Accurate
OML HE DOES I never noticed and I LOVE FUTURAMA
Both voices were modeled after the late Phil
Hartman (SNL cast member and voice of Troy McClure from the Simpsons).
I mean,both voice actors were inspired by Phil Hartman,so that checks out
That's a very *neutral* thought of you.
I honestly love both Cosmo's but I really do like this version, both are goated.
back when Cosmo was likeable instead of annoying
0:52 - Interesting how they didn't blame Cosmo's stupidity for the mistake, rather his wand being broken. It makes me wonder if the original plan in the series was to blame Cosmo's mistakes on a malfunctioning wand rather than himself in order to create the same dynamic.
And they could have dedicated an episode to having the characters try to get him a working wand because his wand always acts weird no matter what he does, even when he gets a new one.

Could have even had a whole arc where maybe Cosmo didn't actually earn a license to be a fairy godfather, but he was able to get in the biz anyway.
Could have been a whole thing where Cosmo is in school and Wanda had to handle Timmy's crazy adventures on her own, and at the end of it they gain a better appreciation for each other.
Gotta get to work on that time machine, lol
@@cymtastique I really like this. It reminds of the whole Rigby being dumb saga which eventually ends with him getting his diploma
Don't ya love it when a plan comes together
@@muhammadHassan-kj1jy it was a physical education diploma though
I don’t know what persuaded them to take this charming version of Cosmo away from us. But I curse it everyday
It's easier to write stupid, idiotic characters than charming, witty ones.
Butch Hartman thought the current version was funnier so it got changed
@@benjaminwertz2379 Well, we now know better than to trust him
@@ChicoMonkeyYT but it's far too late- what should they do? Undermine decades of a consistent character because they realized the pilot version was objectively better? (The answer is obviously yes but they are cowards they will never do it)
@@GumSkyloard that explains why Patrick changed so much after Spongebob season 6
Looks like “Season 0” Fairly Odd Parents is the best version to keep coming back to. If you can ignore the rougher animation, Cosmo and Wanda steal the show with their lovable and charming personalities.
man, that cosmo voice was far more adult swim-like than nickelodeon-like
"should we do something"
"he's got to wish for it"
"oh i hate that rule"
Explains why they abolished it later
"Im calling a union meeting" hahaaha
This honestly explains the theme song so well
Edit: Wow, thanks for the 10k likes! I think this is my first comment to hit that milestone
What do you mean?
@@bendu8282 the intro
I think they mean the gag in the intro where they’re turning Vicky into many things and turn her into a snake which they rhyme with “chocolate shake”
It does really.
@@tiablue9106 bro that just got me like a two ton bus full of old school Cosmo’s
I remember seeing this as a kid & being baffled by the different animation style. I like Cosmo’s voice better this way. It’s kind of sexy.
I feel like this version of Cosmo would be so petty 😂😂😂😂
His voice is ten times better and I love how him and Wanda have actual chemistry.
Was thinking the same thing
Some of the things he says don't sound natural for his voice
@@UnknownGamer40464 I think it would be easily changed over the course of the show. I believe as the episodes went on he would’ve gotten better at sounding more natural for his character. It’s too bad they dumbed him down and made them fight essentially all the time. I feel like even if the voice actor changed to a bit less charismatic sounding they could’ve kept a bit of wit in his character, however he just acts like a 10 year old who thinks fart jokes are funny now, and Wanda has to act like his mom.
