An Interesting Spoof Of Batman, My Favorite Superhero.

9.9

By Dormy7, Aug 12, 2008

The First Episode Was Amazing. The Plot Of It Was A Spoof Of The 1960's Batman Live Action Series Starring Adam West As Batman. Now In The Fairly Odd Parents world Adam West Is Catman. Sure The End Of The Episode Was creepy(The catman liking Timmy's Dad(Too Creepy)). Other Than That I Love This Episode. I Loved When Vicky Said, "Hate to Leave You Hanging Catman And Bird-Brain." That Is A Batman Classic, Just Replace Catman With Batman, And Bird-Brain With Bird-Boy. I Also Think That Its Cool That Got Adam West To Voice Himself/Catman. I Am Glad That They are Keeping The Style Of Old TV Show Alive Today, Even If they Are Using As A Spoof In A Series That Manny Consider Retarded(I Still like This Episode). The Only Other Episode That i Really Like Is Catman Meets the Crimson Chin.moreless

The first one was kinda messed up and the second was pretty average.

6.5

By titiembe, Apr 07, 2007

Well the first one Vicky trys to get Miss Dimmsdale and cheats but in the end Timmy's dad wins. Which is wrong for the whole MISS Dimmsdale thing. And the cat guy wants Timmy's DADS phone number. Two things wrong with that. One, his DAD is a man. Second, DAD means he has and had a son, meaning he is married. Woah. The second one Timmy can read minds. That episode was really average, nothing really happened at all. So it wasn't really good at all compared to some of the other episodes of this show. That's my review. Done.moreless

Good episode

In Miss Dimmsdale, when Timmy finds out that Vicky is participating in the Miss Dimmsdale competition, he decides to be a judge to make sure the winner wins fair and square, but Vicky still cheats. But of course, this is a job for... Dad? Yes, Timmy's Dad wins the competition.

In Mind Over Magic, Timmy is tired of getting pop-quizzed by Mr. Crocker, so he wishes he could read minds. But when this goes too far, Crocker gets suspicious, and wants to find proof that Fairy Godparents exist by having a 'birthday party' for Timmy.moreless

ALLUSIONS (9)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- AJ: You fragged my frigate!
  Obvious spoof on the old board game Battleship Who's iconic catch phrase was "You sank my battleship!"
  EDIT SHARE
- Timmy's Dad: Quick! to the Turner-mobile!
  This is an obvious reference of the Batmobile from the Batman series.
  EDIT SHARE
- The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron:
  In "Mind Over Magic", near the end of the episode, Crocker tries to block Timmy's mind-reading ability by telling the children to "Think! Think!", in the same manner as Jimmy Neutron when he tries to get himself out of trouble.
  EDIT SHARE
- Mind Over Magic: Scene
  The part when the kids are all in the gym and thinking at Timmy is a parody of "Mute", an episode from The Twilight Zone.
  EDIT SHARE
- The episode title "Mind Over Magic" is a reference to the term "Mind over Mattter".
  EDIT SHARE
- Scene Changes: (An image appears swirling with fast-paced music playing in the background whenever the scene changes)
  Allusion to the scene changes from the 1960's "Batman" series, which featured the Caped Crusader's bat symbol swirling on the screen.
  EDIT SHARE
- Adam West: (While going through his utility belt) Cat-a-rang...
  Adam West's "Cat-a-rang" is a parody of Batman's "Bat-a-rang," which is just a normal boomerang with an odd name.
  EDIT SHARE
- Vicky: (To Adam West) I cleaned your cat litter, washed your cat cave, and clean your cat... cats for free! Bye!
  Adam West's "cat cave" seems to be a parody of Batman's "bat cave."
  EDIT SHARE
- Adam West: Catman
  Adam West is most famous for playing Batman in the 1960's TV show, Batman. In The Fairly OddParents, his superhero identity, Catman, is an obvious parody of Batman. His costume, cape, utility bet, and serious personality are all very similar to Batman's.
