Ali binged all of The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder, so enjoy more of her random thoughts on this fever dream of a series.
Ali gives her visceral, unfiltered reaction to watching an episode of The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder reboot in this special bonus episode. It’s a weird one, folks.
Ali discusses all things The Fairly OddParents, diving into “School’s Out! The Musical,” the uniqueness of the franchise, a whole bunch of classic quotes from the original run of the show (seriously, this episode is mostly quotes), why the early relationship dynamic between Cosmo & Wanda is the absolute cutest (which inadvertently leads to wondering something…), the adorableness that is baby Poof, and a quick FOP story called “A Kiss and a Tie (But Not in That Order).”
