I remember the beginning episodes where it felt like there was a stark contrast between cosmo and who he became.

Even though I remember the switch, it’s fun looking back at what was/could’ve been since I grew up with Stupid Cosmo.
For those who didn’t know. The original dynamic was Wanda was logistically smart, while Cosmo was Street smart. Cosmo has the voice of a car salesmen. If that makes sense
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.
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 mean, that's a big thing to have magic erase from your mind and we already know this version of Cosmo needs to get his wand fixed, who knows what the side effects could have been

@@Lootoodle -- More like it's been leaking low-grade (magical) radiation... that also explains Homer Simpson. Well, that and beer + repetitive cranial trauma, in Homey's case....
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.
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
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.
@@__-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.
Wish we could get a reboot where THIS was for the whole show. Cosmo being intelligent and witty, Wanda and cosmo having a good relationship, AND THE VOICE
Considering how terrible "Fairly Odder" is from what I've seen from reviews and comments on TH-cam/social media, I honestly wouldn't mind it if they rebooted "Fairly OddParents" again in a few years or so and actually made that hypothetical version of Cosmo almost exactly like he was in the original pilot.
I actually think it may be possible, but in order for that to happen the OG series should be cancelled or end, and then let's wait around two decades to finally make it a reality
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
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.
If only they stuck to this. His great chemistry with Wanda, his witty nature, and his wand being a little janky would have made for a much more interesting character than the smooth brained and admittedly kinda based character he became.
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!?!
@@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.
@@joeschmoe2843 Cosmo's always been voiced by Daran Norris, who is still alive. It's Timmy's OG VA who died, which is why Tara Strong voiced him in the show proper.
I think you can still have a good character even if they're not very bright. The problem is when they're so dumb that they start becoming unlikable, obnoxious, selfish, and a detriment to everyone around them, even the people that they're supposed to love and care about! Many other "Dumb" characters like Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin have also fallen into this trap.
@@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.
Early Cosmo: Turns Vicky into a chocolate snake instead of a chocolate shake because his wand's on the fritz Later Cosmo: Would genuinely confuse "shake" with "snake"
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.
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)
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.
@@novakitty1619 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
@@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)
@@Bro-cx2jc There was such episode, they even did an evil version of all characters bullshit and now canonically there is a smart evil Cosmo in the same world as the normal one.
Being flat out stupid is easy to write. Being witty and sarcastic takes actual work and thought, on top of it, this was meant to be a show for a fairly young demographic, so some of it would probably fly over most children's heads. Such a shame, though, stuff like this would've been interesting to rewatch if they kept it going.
aparently asking fairies too many wishes tires them out and wears out their magic and since timmy is the way he is he wore out cosmo and made him stupid
Don't forget, we had to brainwash the younger generation into thinking that all men are stupid and bad and whatever else people are teaching these days!
@Repent to Jesus Christ sir please don't, don't bring up god here without context it just cringe. I believe in god but this kind of stuff just annoys me
I have nothing against Cosmo's voice after the pilot, but I have many complains on how they treated his intelligence and his relationship with Wanda. I would love to see a version when Cosmo was sly, and cunning, and with street smart It reminds me of Nick From Zootopia. Imagine how good that would be
I like that idea but When he said he gotta get his wand fix after messing up the wish spell thing with Timmy, it would be more funnier if each time he fix it, it’ll still mess up the spell wish or the wand has a mind of his own in a way trolling him
The sad thing about that: Timmy's original VA during this Era of Nickelodeon Cartoons ended up committing suicide. That's why Timmy sounds higher pitched in its official run with Tara Strong as the main VA
@@Ash_Queen16 Yep. Her name was Mary Kay Bergman, and she originally voiced additional characters in South Park. She voiced Timmy in the pilot and was going to voice him in the official project. But after she committed suicide in 1999, the titular role was given to Tara Strong, instead.
0:55 I love the idea that the wands are what cause the mishaps and not their stupidity. Makes them seem smart but also can explain why the wishes backfire occasionally and not just “Timmy is a jerk ROLL CREDITS”
I'm glad to see Grown-up Poof having the same attitude as Season 1 Cosmo on that new FOP series. Season 1 Cosmo is the biggest wasted character this show has done.
Fr man, I was sad that we never got to see this Cosmo. But seeing how Poof is so similar, but also being his own thing, makes me wanna see the new show
He definitely sounded like he had a much higher IQ than in the main show. But you can still see some of the playfulness he retains in the main show, it's just more sophisticated here.
It actually kind of makes me mad they didn’t go with this Cosmo for the whole series. The entire point of the show is that Cosmo and Wanda are Timmy’s Fairy GodPARENTS. They’re supposed to be the parents that Timmy’s parents were neglecting to be. This version of them would have sent that point home.
Omg you are so right... Like, Cosmo is actually kind of a bad influence to Timmy, and is as dumb as Timmy's parents... You are right, they should have gone with this version of them aiming the characters to be good PARENTS.
I want an alternate version of FOP where the major issues with the series aren’t present. It ends at a respectable point, Cosmo and Wanda are likeable characters, and The Rules act as a consistent rule set rather than a random chaotic inclusion to the plot. That’d be nice.
You can’t wish for it, it’s clearly stated in Da Rules! That it’s not allowed. If we wanted to live in a society in which where Da Rules don’t apply then what’s the reason for them?
I hate the classic stupid man and exasperated women taking care of him. It’s funny to see once but now it feel like it’s just the go to role. Seeing a smart and witty man is entertaining.
Hollywood couples these days tend to be very unbalanced one way or another. Either the man is constantly trying to control and/or rescue his helpless damsel in distress, or the female is constantly getting annoyed with her male partner’s mind numbing stupidity. It’s a shame we never see both sides working as a team, as it’s supposed to be
I liked it honestly. It always showed Wanda as the smart one. How she chose him over things like his mom hating her, Alejandro? (Muscle purple fairy). I think it shows their relationship better how they don't give up on each other. Plus a smart lady lead ain't so bad 🥳
Back when Cosmo was a respectable character before they made him a brainless comedy gag. Tbh I would like to have seen the series continue with this version of Cosmo instead of what we actually got.
This cartoon isn’t very old, but wow is it incredibly different from everything now. The flirting was wholesome in a way that showed mutual respect, the writing was creative and engaging. Everything nowadays is so bland and for some reason men and women have to hate each other as a plot device.
This is the dynamic they should have kept. Wanda being the more booksmart of the two while cosmo was quicker on his feet with wit. They play off each other really well. Instead they went to the stereotypical 'dumb dad' trope
unfortunately that's a staple for butch and all his creations, especially when they probably shouldn't be that dumb like Jack Fenton from danny phantom who created a portal to another dimension, with his wife's help of course. A man who can build such complicated and complex machinery SHOULDN'T be that dumb, especially since his work likely requires a lot of math and higher knowledge.
@Michael LaRose Actually I don't think Jack is dumb. He is rather absent-minded and sometimes slow to think. It makes me a little sad that slow-witted people are considered stupid. It's more like if you have a slow Internet, and everything loads slowly.
This cosmo version is literally my most favourite he is kinda smart and understanding alot since he gotta fix his wand for misunderstood or something else.
That’s kinda how Patrick was at the beginning of sponge Bob he was kind of a smart and easy going character but it didn’t take long for that to change pretty much out of now where. He still had his moments.
I mean he was still pretty dumb, but dumb as in you just can't help but think that he's REALLY trying to be a good friend. Now Patrick just has the mindset of Twitter: super dumb, but can't stand to be wrong.
I feel like this trope happens a lot within TV shows especially cartoons it could possibly just be due to poor writing or it's just easier for the creators to dumb down the character. But it makes it unbearable at times
@@lightspeed7312 Why does it need to be? - The animation changed drastically to what we were used to in the other 8 seasons - The voices of Timmy and Cosmo changed to be more like their characters personality. I would have enjoyed the show more on later seasons after wishology if Cosmo wasn't force to be a dumbo who can't even hold his head for 5 seconds (wisholympics reference) as for timmy they made him more childish and louder. Not of my likeness because kids are cruelly irritating. - The jokes were getting forced and obvious, starting to add lots of characters without a good role rather for that one episode, while forgetting of the original cast... except of Crocker - And the creator itself... is a scammer nowadays tracing other's artwork for commissionsand if not, his style is really worse than what we saw in his shows, let's not even mention his new show of religion that isn't actually good at all and very expensive for just 6 episodes.

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 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.
another fitting title: remember when cosmo and wanda actually liked eachother and weren't dysfunctional
Or a shortened version :" Remember when Cosmo & Wanda acted like they were in a healthy marriage."
A married couple on TV who model healthy relationships and have genuine chemistry? Banish the thought!
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.
Wish we could get a reboot where THIS was for the whole show. Cosmo being intelligent and witty, Wanda and cosmo having a good relationship, AND THE VOICE
And Vicky being just a jerk not life threat to the whole planet
Considering how terrible "Fairly Odder" is from what I've seen from reviews and comments on TH-cam/social media, I honestly wouldn't mind it if they rebooted "Fairly OddParents" again in a few years or so and actually made that hypothetical version of Cosmo almost exactly like he was in the original pilot.
I actually think it may be possible, but in order for that to happen the OG series should be cancelled or end, and then let's wait around two decades to finally make it a reality
It looks a lot like a pilot episode which could mean it might be lost media at this point
@@Eatedbrainz nope, it's on TH-cam
Cosmo was never book smart, he was money smart and that made him more intelligent.

@@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.

You can make a funny comedic character without making them dumb.

That’s kinda how Patrick was at the beginning of sponge Bob he was kind of a smart and easy going character but it didn’t take long for that to change pretty much out of now where. He still had his moments.
Patrick is not dumb but he is like slow at getting things? Yeah and then they proceed to dumb him out in new episodes
I mean he was still pretty dumb, but dumb as in you just can't help but think that he's REALLY trying to be a good friend. Now Patrick just has the mindset of Twitter: super dumb, but can't stand to be wrong.
I mean, even in early seasons Patrick's advices sucked most of the time.
I feel like this trope happens a lot within TV shows especially cartoons it could possibly just be due to poor writing or it's just easier for the creators to dumb down the character. But it makes it unbearable at times
Both started happening in season 4, right?
See, this Cosmo is one that I could see Wanda marrying and being in love with.

Always wondered why she would dump juandissimo for cosmo 😭😭😭
@@comeychip that's his name in english? Here in argentina we call him "Juanisimo"
@@GilliganTF2 yeah it's a pun since it kinda sounds like "wand-isimo
Even a single joke from the old pilot season is better than whole seasons 9 & 10.
Not really an accomplishment.
@@lightspeed7312 Why does it need to be?
- The animation changed drastically to what we were used to in the other 8 seasons
- The voices of Timmy and Cosmo changed to be more like their characters personality. I would have enjoyed the show more on later seasons after wishology if Cosmo wasn't force to be a dumbo who can't even hold his head for 5 seconds (wisholympics reference) as for timmy they made him more childish and louder. Not of my likeness because kids are cruelly irritating.
- The jokes were getting forced and obvious, starting to add lots of characters without a good role rather for that one episode, while forgetting of the original cast... except of Crocker
- And the creator itself... is a scammer nowadays tracing other's artwork for commissionsand if not, his style is really worse than what we saw in his shows, let's not even mention his new show of religion that isn't actually good at all and very expensive for just 6 episodes.
@@turboranger7550 Are we not going to talk about how much of a jerk the creator/Butch Hartmann really is?? He made a joke over someone's friend who suicided via gauge shotgun to the face, involving them taking their place on Timmy Turner's role, and he said that "Depression is not a mental illness, it's just lack of importance in your life" (Sorry if i didn't say it correctly, i just don't remember the complete phrase as much anymore).
@@ChxosZ as someone with depression, I can say wtf
WAIT A SECOND I NEVER HEARD ABOUT THAT, IS THAT WHY THE VOICE OF TIMMY CHANGED??
the "dumb husband" trope has been around for so long (the simpsons, family guy etc.) that this is really refreshing by comparison
