  • Both pointless episodes

    1.0

    Crime Wave: At Timmy's request, Cosmo and Wanda poof him out of his tub, so he doesn't have to take a bath. And then Timmy reads his comic book and wishes that he is part of the story. Lame! Too pointless.



    Score: 0.0



    Odd Ball: A mere 36 hours after Timmy gets a new video game for his V-Cube, the system breaks! This is lame! And also, in this episode, Timmy learns to share? Isn't he supposed to learn to share at his school. The basketball part was also lame. The players also did not learn how to share. The only part I liked here is when Timmy's dad said "Nice new V-cube!".



    Score: 2.0moreless

  • In "Crime Wave", Cosmo and Wanda accedentally poof Timmy to the comic store naked, so Timmy has to try to get home without anyone noticing that he is naked. In "Odd Ball", Timmy needs a new V-Cube, so he becomes a ballboy for a local basketmoreless

    "Crime Wave" was the better out of the two episodes. I LOVED it! Timmy ends up having a lot of failed attempts at getting people to not realize that he is naked. He ends up getting the nickname "naked lad". In the episode, a newspaper appears saying "Naked terror stuns city" with a picture of Timmy. The best part of the episode came at the end when Timmy looks up at Wanda saying "Well, at least I am naked in my own house" and then Cosmo appears naked saying "what, everyone is doing it". There was also another plot in the episode about the crimson chin battling with H2Olga while trying to take care of a baby. A GREAT episode!



    "Odd Ball" was to me just an average episode. It had a good message though, which was that it is good to share instead of being selfish all of the time. During the episode, Doug Dimmadome came in talking about moving the Dimsdale ballhogs to Alaska and Blubber nuggets. To me, the blubber nugget thing got old fast. At the end though, Timmy learned to share instead of being selfish like he did at the beginning of the episode. That is the main reason that I liked that episode.



    Overall, they were both good, but "Crime Wave" was easily the better episode.moreless

  • Well written episode.

    This episode was a well written and also a great one in the series as I think of it. The thing that was the funniest in the episode was when Timmy was naked because it looked funny, especially in the part when he was in the museum that the kids almost saw him. Anyway another part that I liked about the episode was when the Crimson Chin battled H2Olga. The battle was tough and a great one also. The baby was funny in the ways he used to act. Also what really made me laugh was when H2Olga was trapped inside the baby. The episode was a great one in my opinion.



    The other episode was also good and the ballhogs didn't know how to play in which was a sad thing. But Timmy's V-Cube looked cool and looked just like the GameCube in which was a cool thing. Also the ballhogs at the end were great and finally learned how to play basketball in which I think it was a great thing that happened in the episode.moreless

  • A peek into the Crimson Chin's universe. Timmy plays pro basketball.

    The Crimson Chin episode was pretty good, I guess. It was a nice change of pace from the episodes usually centered around Timmy. However, I have some MAJOR problems with the episode "Odd Ball". Have the writers of Fairly Odd Parents ever played or even watched the game of basketball? Obviously not. I'm no expert at the game, but the characters broke every single rule of basketball. What they were playing looked more like ultimate than basketball. I mean, I didn't expect this episode to be a realistic depiction of pro basketball, but COME ON. In one scene, Timmy picks up the ball and walks to the basket to slam dunk without dribbling once. In another, he dribbles with both hands, and in yet another scene he and his teammates run with the ball and pass it off to each other like a football. Really sad.moreless

  • This episode rocked in a good way that is because I enjoyed it and would watch it any day.

Trivia, Notes, Quotes and Allusions

FILTER BY TYPE

  • TRIVIA (7)

    • the V cube it's a parody of the x box or the Nintendo Gamecube.

    • Timmy made several shots in a row yet only HIS score rose when in a real game of basketball, you are only permitted one shot and once you make it, it's the other team's turn. Timmy cheated in several other ways. It just shows the rules weren't fair.

    • In Crime Wave, when Timmy watches the tv, it is in black and white, but the mayor's eyes and the button are colored (Yellow and blue respectively)

    • The Crimson Chin comics must be composed of 16 pages since the staplers are found on page 8.

    • Dad said "Prune me up, baby!" but he was drinking Water instead of Prune Juice.
      He was going to finish the water and then drink prune juice.

    • Look Hard:
      In Crime Wave, the newspaper Timmy was using to make sure nobody saw him naked was titled 'Naked Terror Stuns City!' and had a picture of Chompy with the caption, 'Chompy Scarred For Life!'

    • In Odd Ball, Timmy walks in one of the games, and that would be travelling. The referees wouldn't have allowed it, because you can't travel in basketball.

  • QUOTES (33)

    • H2Olga: What a baby! I can't wait to raise you to be evil!

    • Cosmo: (Imitating Timmy) And I quote: "I wish I were a freakishly huge basketball player. Ow! But only until I have enough money for my V Cube, then I never want to be this freakishly huge ever again" End quote.
      Timmy: Man! I have to stop being so specific about my wishes!

    • Dad: (Sarcastically) Hey, nice new V Cube!
      Timmy: Dad, I'm sorry for not sharing before... here, this is yours.
      Wanda: Awww! Timmy learned how to share!
      Dad (Touched): *gasp* You're giving this to me? I don't know what to say except... MINE! (Runs away, then comes back) But you can have the couch!

    • Timmy: Well, at least I'm naked in my own house.
      Wanda: Speak for yourself. (Glares at Cosmo)
      Cosmo: (Naked) What? Everybody's doin' it!

    • Timmy: Psst, Cosmo, Wanda! I wish I was back in the tub!
      Kids: (On skateboards) Naked Lad? (Crash)

    • Wanda: Oh, no! It's Timmy's parents!
      Cosmo: Oh, no! Back in the filth!

    • Dad: Timmy!
      Wanda: What was that?
      Dad: Ah, I can't believe I let you talk me into a water drinking contest!

    • Crimson Chin: It just goes to show you, Olga, whether you live a life of crime, you'll always be #2!

    • H2Olga: I'll get out of here, Crimson Chin, and when I do-

    • Baby: (Giggles)
      H2Olga: Ha! Evil makes it giggle!

    • Lady: Behold, the glory of our universe!

      Timmy: I'll just take this shortcut through the Dimmsdale Museum of Science and Natural History and I'll be home in no time!

    • Baby: (Giggles)
      Crimson Chin: Oh, that's adorable. Justice makes it giggle!

    • Crimson Chin: H2Olga? You're the hefty man, screaming for help?
      H2Olga: That's right, Crimson Chin. I need help, arranging your funeral once I use my control of all liquids to destroy you once and for all. (Makes a water fountain squirt tiny water)
      Crimson Chin: (Raises a finger, gets hit by water)
      H2Olga: Ha! Had enough?
      Crimson Chin: Ha! Surrender, silly villian. This is a city. There is no body of water large enough for you to smite me.

    • Timmy: As long as Mom and Dad don't have to go to the bathroom for any reason, I'll be OK.
      Dad: Hey, Honey. Let's have a water drinking contest!

    • Crimson: This looks like a job for... The Crimson Chin!- And this metaphorist young humanoid.

    • Baby: (Poops in his diaper)
      Crimson Chin: Well, now that it's empty, at least things can't get any worse!
      Baby: (Cries)
      Crimson Chin: (Puts the diaper on the baby's head, then on his chin, and where it's supposed to be)

    • Crimson Chin: It's my pleasure, Beverly Boulevard, non-superpower reporter for the Daily Blabbity. It is my hope that by doing something nice for you, you will entern, fall in love with me, the sensetive, caring man, who's always pined for you.
      Beverly: What?
      Crimson Chin: Oops, did that come out of my mouth? That was supposed to stay in a thought bubble.

    • Wanda: Well, whadda ya wanna do next?

      Mom and Dad: We totally trust you! (Seal the door, hammer boards, put a desk, a chair and a pot with flowers and clap hands)

    • Timmy: But, Mom. I don't see why I have to take a bath.
      Mom: That's because the dirt's blocking your eyes.

    • Announcer: This game was brought to you by Farmer Ahab's Blubber Nuggets. Mmmmm! Their chewy!
