FOP Review #6: "Dog's Day Afternoon"

Hey folks. Turtle here with another FOP review. Today, Timmy switched places with a dog for the perks. But all is not what it seems. Let's dive into “Dog's Day Afternoon”.

Title card from the Fairly Oddparents Wiki

Our story begins with Timmy's mom and dad leaving for a night out. It appears that Vicky is praising Timmy.

Did we wind up in some bizarre parallel dimension?

It turns out it's her dog Doidle she's praising.

Timmy complains about Doidle being over again.

“She sure does love that dog more than she loves you.”

“She loves everything more than Timmy.”

Including hemorrhoids, the year 2016, and the Star Wars Christmas Special.

Vicky makes Timmy do stuff for the dog. Doidle is also given a steak for dinner while Timmy has to much on the plastic tray of a TV dinner.

With those teeth, he should be able to break through it pretty easily.

Timmy complains about being second banana to a dog.

That's probably how Mystery Inc. feels sometimes.

Timmy gushes about how cool it must be to be a dog.

“Dogs have a better sense of smell, and they can see in black and white, and they can go to the bathroom anywhere they want.”

“So can I, I'm just polite!”

Note to self, don't let Cosmo near the punch bowl.

Timmy switches places with Doidle. Human Doidle goes to bed and Dog Timmy throws insults at Vicky under the guise of dog noises. Dog Timmy proceeds to eat his own homework.

I wonder if kids still use that excuse. Or there's probably one involving fidget spinners or avocado toast I'm not aware of.

Dog Timmy binges on ice cream while watching TV. Vicky explains that tomorrow is Doidle's “special day”: the day he gets fixed.

Dog Timmy is upset, unsurprisingly. He goes to tell Cosmo and Wanda, but they don't understand him.

You should've seen that coming, Timmy.

The Turner parents return home and Vicky takes Dog Timmy. Cosmo and Wanda decide to split up to look after both Dog Timmy and Human Doidle.

At Vicky's house, Dog Timmy is introduced to Vicky's other pets, all of whom have been fixed. Cosmo shows up as a flea, and camps out on Dog Timmy's butt.

Cosmo is missing Wanda dearly, while Wanda writes a romance novel overnight.

I wish I had Wanda's initiative to take on large writing projects.

Morning hits and Human Doidle goes downstairs. Doidle eats the cereal as if it's his dog bowl, and Dad follows suit.

“I'm hip.”

Don't forget to dab, Mr Turner. Then you'll be really hip.

Human Doidle goes to chase the school bus and Dad drinks his coffee face first to be hip.

From Fairly Oddparents Wiki

I'll say this right now: Timmy's Dad is my favorite character.

Doidle winds up at school and sniffs AJ's butt.

And that's when Timmy was charged with sexual harassment.

Anyway, Human Doidle runs into the bathroom and drinks from the toilet. Chester tells Francis that Timmy is tougher than he is, and Francis drinks out of the toilet to prove himself.

I hope those toilet bowls were empty.

Outside, Wanda is with her friends as their godkids have also swapped places with animals. One of the friends comments that their kid switched places with a frog, and upon realizing that the girl might be dissected, rushes to her aid.

During recess, Human Doidle chases a ball away from the school.

Hopefully you don't run into Truant Officer Shallowgrave.

Meanwhile at the vet, Vicky takes Dog Timmy in to see Dr. Snipowitz.

I suppose it's more TV-Y7 than Dr. Cutmaballs.

Also, we've gotten a lot of Dee Bradley Baker in this episode.

Cosmo finally figures out what's going on and Dog Timmy escapes. Conveniently enough, Human Doidle is chasing the baseball down that very street. Dog Timmy follows him into the park.

Dog Timmy urges Human Doidle to wish everything back to normal, but Doidle refuses. Doidle likes being a person.

So due to Timmy only speaking dog, and Doidle being in Timmy's body, Doidle has to make the wish to swap bodies again? This was a terrible idea.

Timmy and Doidle fight for a while as Cosmo becomes jealous over the amount of attention Timmy is getting. Yeah Cosmo is clingy in this episode for some reason.

Wanda turns into a poodle. Human Doidle falls head over heels for her, but gets rejected for being a human.

Remember kids, bestiality is illegal.

Doidle wishes he was a dog again, and Timmy's brain goes back to his own head. Vicky finds them and takes Doidle to get fixed.

Later, Timmy and the now fixed Doidle are watching TV. Vicky brings in her hamster and gives him a steak. Timmy thinks about telling him he's probably getting fixed, but decides not to.

“He can find out on his own.”

Wow Timmy's a dick.

This is the first in a long line of really dumb wishes. Timmy couldn't wish himself back to normal because he lost the ability to speak a human language. Doidle didn't really have a good reason to change back and only did because of his libido. Timmy might've been a dog forever if not for Doidle chasing a ball across town. Cosmo being a clingy is kind of annoying too.

I have to give “Dog's Day Afternoon” a Bad rating.
