>Be careful what you wish forI literally just explained every single episode of the Fairly Odd Parents. Never has I seen a more formulaic show last for as long as FOP did.
Being formulaic isn't bad as long as you make it entertaining. See Tom & Jerry.
>>154595924what else can you do with said premise?Timmy has to fuck up somehow or else there are no obstacles to overcome
>>154595924Personally, I find that "Da Rulez" (usually) helps balance things out so it doesn't become a boring show where Timmy gets whatever he wants. They tend not to be enforced quite as much in seasons 6-10, but it's a better idea than adding some Glup Shitto character to the main cast.
>>154597107>They tend not to be enforced quite as much in seasons 6-10 Why would you openly admit to having watched that much of Fairly OddParents? It's common knowledge to drop the series once the baby shows up
>>154595924But the fun is seeing Timmy's slow descent into corruption and holding the world hostage to his chaotic whims.
>>154598463zoomers are idiots
>>154595924The bigger issue is:>make joke>make reference to that joke 5 times throughout the episodeWhy do they do this?
>>154598463>It's common knowledge to drop the series once the baby shows upIt wasn't when I was younger, because Nick loved spamming the post-Poof episodes.
>>154595924>Never has I seen a more formulaic show last for as long as FOP did.you never watched Phineas and Ferb?
>>154598855this post reminds me of the hunt
Abracatastrophe>Channel Chasers. There, I said it.
>>154595924that some serious reductionism
>>154595924*whip crack*not quite as long, but it did get a continuation
>>154599452Same, the FOP intro but with monkeys elevated that episode above Channel Chasers. (Besides, CC only had one interesting reference, the rest were some boomer HBslop and an anime.)
>>154598855Uh... the internet?
>>154598463I thought Wishology was alright..
>>154599524Sound designer was obviously having a field day.https://files.catbox.moe/ck2kv3.mp4
>>154595924You're being too generous. The plots started becoming completely braindead around the fourth season
>>154600708>around the fourth seasonYou have a point, they completely ruined Vicky's character. "Vicky Loses Her Icky" was where the flanderization all began, Wanda even says>Wow! Vicky seems extra mean today!Then that became her default character throughout the rest of the series.
>show retroactively le bad because the creator voted for manne de oranje
>>154601190As a whole? Yeah, FOP is a mixed quality show. Not for political reasons, but because Butch himself made some of the poorest choices conceivable. (Like hiring boomer sitcom writers and the Coconut Fred/Bubsy people.)
>>154600708Season 4 is still solid, season 5 was when the flanderization for just about every character hit like a truckSchool's out was the last time FOP had any heart which is technically the last episode of S4 even though it aired during S5
>>154598463NTA but I saw a lot of post-Poof FOP because I was still in the target demographic post-Poof
>>154595924I'd say Phineas and Ferb is even more formulaic
>>154602124It's literally Groundhog Day: The Animated Series.
I'm glad nobody so far has brought up and criticized Pinky and the Brain, that show is awesome.
>>154595924That's not a formula, it's a premise. The shows are almost obsessively novel in execution, almost as if they were written by a guy who used to do sitcoms and soap operas.
>>154602500>almost as if they were written by a guy who used to do sitcomsUh yeah, about that...
