I remember that Remy’s parents struck oil or something and became rich again and busier than before, making him even more miserable. Remy’s parents are just that awful.

[@DuskTillShawn]

Yeah, I don't remember if it was in that episode, but I remember a whole thing about Remy getting hit on the head with a coconut and getting his memories (and Juandissimo) back. I've been diving into the lore and timeline of this show a lot recently and it's actually surprisingly deep! Quite a few solid Reddit threads on it!

Jorgon manipulated events so that Juandisimo would manipulate events so that Remy's family would become rich again and gave Remy his memories back.

[@Axel230]

22:57 He didn't say "Perro" (Dog), he said "Pero" which means "But" The whole line is "BUT, it is not permitted, it is in the rules" Basically just a random Spanish word thrown into the dialogue xD The second spanish phrase was "Una vida sin principales no es una vida" ("A life without principles is not a life") (It's said in a bit of broken Spanish tho, the right word should have been "Principios" not "Principales").

[@yamato9753]

Remy also shows how even a rich Persons life isn't automatically perfect. It is certainly WAAAY better in some ways, but Money can't buy love. And Remy definitly suffers from that. That's a pretty mature Take, and the early days of the Show in general were really good, considering the Manchild that made the show.

[@onijester56]

I maintain that there should be a "Fairly Odd Parents... KAI", an attempt to condense the series to a single coherent narrative, removing the fluff and padding and inconsistencies. I mean, Timmy begins as you point out: willing to help others, wanting to make even someone as terrible a person as Remy happy. But every time Timmy tries to help people, either The Rules deny it or it turns bad. He gets told explicitly by his parents that they wish he was never born, and Jargon confirms this with the FOP's take on "It's a Wonderful Life".

[@nationalinstituteofcheese3012]

No wonder he became more selfish down the line. Also the duel likely functions based on strict technically and if there’s no explicit rule about it, it’s free to go

[@walpoleandworcester]

Even Princess Morbucks as snobby and stuck up as she was got attention from her father. Remy’s parents could care less! Oh yeah, I think Juandisismo was saying, “A life without principles is not a life at all” as a justification for not wanting to go against Da Rules.

[@racheljackson4428]

Princess Morbucks was a jerk to the Powerpuff Girls. Remy's parents don't give a damn.

[@DuskTillShawn]

Thanks so much for clarifying that extra part! I appreciate it. :D I totally get that comparison to Princess though. Very similar characters. The fact that Princess is how she is even with her dad's love though, makes me think of her as even more evil than I did before lol.

[@walpoleandworcester]

@@DuskTillShawn no problem! I come from a Latin American family, so I can understand what the characters are saying whenever I’m watching Spanish TV and such. If you can believe it, there’s all kinds of dialects in Spanish as well so it’s not always easy. Lol. But yeah. I’d say that Princess got spoiled so much by her father he never said no to anything she did enabling her bad behavior further. And there was also Eustace Stritch on Jimmy Neutron who had a pushover of a dad who didn’t know how to discipline his bratty son at all! Even on Hey Arnold, I remember a rich dad and his son that loved photography, but it was like they couldn’t really connect with each other until Arnold realized they both were into sports, but in completely different ways!

[@yamato9753]

That's actually pretty based from Juandissimo. He's a total narc, but at least disciplined about his Job and his Godchild.

Remy shouldn't want his parents attention because seeing what his parents do in later episodes,their total jerks

[@nationalinstituteofcheese3012]

Yeah but children naturally crave their parents’ attention

[@nationalinstituteofcheese3012]

Godparents are meant to be stand-in’s for your real parents so that’s why Chester never got one. His dad was loving and kind. I will say Remy saying Timmy had two parents and godparents who love him is really sad because it seems like the show forgets Timmy isn’t the child of good parents. Either way, at least we see his parents show some love despite being neglectful and useless. Remy’s life make’s Timmy’s seem like paradise. The fact he lost his godparent is so unfair Edit: I just realized that Remy’s parents may have inadvertently taught Remy that money was more important than friendship or love or companionship. So he puts money above all. What I wonder is why Remy hated Timmy despite it being made clear Timmy never met Remy before. How did he find out about Timmy and what made him think Timmy had good parents?

[@EmbalmerEmi]

"A life without principles isn't worth living" is roughly what Wandisimo said which lines up since he repeated the same sentiment in English later on. Also the "Perro" line is a misunderstanding, what he said was "Pero" which means "but",I know it's confusing since they look and sound similar but mean completely different things.

[@alphawolf798]

If you think about it Remy is just a rich version of Timmy, minus having Vicky.

[@milokonna]

I found it a bit weird that Juandissimo showed up randomly on that island. Perhaps it happened only for the gag, but maybe he truly cared for Remy and was watching over him from a distance? Otherwise, I would assume he would just go to live in the fairy world, or already be a godfather to another kid.

[@Neku628]

I guess, Juandissimo got attached to Remy more so than any other godkids he's had over the centuries. Heck, Juandissimo probably stuck with Remy because he would always be closer to his ex-girlfriend. Juandissimo seems like a pretty shallow character for how obsessed he is with wanting Wanda back. Yet, he can be selfless. His selflessness with wanting to be with Remy, it was pretty short-lived.

[@TetsuRiken]

I think a later episode he said he went to Remey by choice

The title of most neglected child in Nickelodeon history, definitely belongs to Helga Pataki from Hey Arnold!

[@Datbchik]

So true!

[@vm141789]

I don’t think so. A lot of fans like to portray Helga as the most tragic character in animation, but that really isn’t the case. Big Bob and Miriam weren’t the greatest, but they had some redeeming qualities. Not enough to make them good, but enough to make them better than others. Plus, Helga had a very loving sister in Olga. Building off that, I find it funny that some fans try to villainize Olga when, if you look at it from an objective perspective, Helga was the bad sister to Olga, doing things to her out of spite and envy with Olga actually forgiving her for them.

[@DuskTillShawn]

I think you might be right. Remy only got 38 minutes of my time... Meanwhile, I went on for like 3 hours about Helga in her Dark Side of Hey Arnold video lol.

I know Timmy is failing in School, but this is pretty dumb. But if he can't tell something this obvious. It makes sense why he is failing school. I just realized he probably thought he did it with money, because you can buy anything with money, and the way adult talk about. It probably would make since.

[@SageArdor]

Some people act out because something is wrong at home and they don't know a healthy way to give a sign of it. For uber rich kids like Remy, materialism is a coping mechanism more than a social elevator.

[@gandorokkorodnag9028]

Imagine being so rich you forget you procreated to term then went to the hospital had a whole ass kid THEN FORGOT you had said kid.

[@swordheartstudios]

You did an amazing job on this video! When looking back at Remy's story in the original Fairly Oddparents it was sad to see how all Remy wanted was to be able to have his parents home more and spend time with him. His jealousy towards Timmy for Timmy getting to see his parents all the time and godparents that both loved him just showed how much deeper his character was just wanting his parents to care. I love how the sequel series "A New Wish" expands more upon this with Dev's story arc throughout the season.

[@michaelsarmiento3057]

If Remy could get a redeemed and befriends Timmy, I believe he might help Dev with his problem with his dad. Also, Remy might end up being a good counterpart to Dale Dimmadome.

[@supreme-ss777]

4:24 Side note: Interestingly, one of my favorite shows, Big City Greens, would come out years later and feature a character named Remy…who is rich, but unlike here, BCG’s Remy is generally a lot nicer to his friends (particularly his best friend Cricket) despite his high social status, and his parents do shower him with the things he wants…but they also have lots of love for him and still have his well-being in mind, despite being out of their mansion home a lot and at work often because of their riches. Plus, Remy’s got lots of love within the Green family, where Bill (Cricket’s father) once said in the penultimate episode of a season that he was like “another son” to him.

I feel like Timmy is still the ultimate neglected child is because his mom and dad are what you call the absent parents and I bet Timmy grew up with nothing but non-stop babysitters having to watch over him and Vicky being the final babysitter is what pushed him to also have his heart turn the stone and get Cosmo Wanda but the true ultimate neglected child in all of existence of Fairly OddParents I never knew who it was until now

[@jaketaller8567]

And I thought Dev Dimmadome had it rough. Apparently all rich kids in this universe have parents who couldn’t care less.

[@foxymetroid]

Not sure if Dev Dinnadome was neglected. For all we know, he could have had loving, attentive parents before being kidnapped by Vicky and forced into slavery.

[@jaketaller8567]

[@DuskTillShawn]

Man, I originally was going to make this video about how awful Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome was, with it focusing around that episode... But then I realized looking back on it, there wasn't as much Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome in that episode as I thought there was... But this one being it's sister episode in broadcast was what lead to me talking about this one instead lol.

I think the reason why so many children don't have fairy godparents (onscreen anyways) in Dimmsdale is because they wished them away, lost them in magical duels and/or accidentally revealed that they had them like Crocker did.

[@HernanMartinez-n8l]

Tootie definitely deserve godparents the most mostly because of Vicky

Speaking of Tootie and Vicky, they have terrible parents of their own. Vicky torments Tootie, and their parents are too cowardly to do anything. They can't punish Vicky to save their lives. It's likely they never set any limits where there should be.

I find it interesting that the Buxaplentys in FOP and the alternate timeline Neutrons from Jimmy Neutron act pretty similarly. Obscene wealth makes both couples terrible parents. To the point the fathers were shown to struggle with remembered they got a son or what their kid's relation is to them.

Hahaha I think you're right.... I also forgot to bring up the point that Timmy cheated as well lmao. I totally pointed out Remy using his money to cheat, but Timmy blatantly used distraction to cheat.

Tbh I’ve been undergoing chemo treatments it’s really hard on my body. I’ve got three rounds to do, and each round takes 5 days of 6 hours of treatment. I’m currently finishing up the first round. But I’m trying my best to pursue through it having a chemo port. And honestly having your videos being so calming to me, and comforting really helps me get through some of the chemo treatments so thank you. Idk if you’ll see this message but it means so much that you take the time to care about your community. Your videos always bring me such comfort in these trying times so thank you 😢

I hope you get better and I am glad I am not the only one that enjoys Dusk's videos.

I’m glad I can start my “morning” off with a wonderful DuskTillShawn video while making coffee. Having one of my chronic headaches rn, it does tend to make my days harder, but at least I can enjoy this small part of my day to your wonderfully soft voice talking about one of the shows I used to love as a kid. Thank you for making all the content you do 💖

[@DuskTillShawn]

Thank you so much for watching and for your support, my friend! 💚 It means the world to me. Headaches are the worst 😞 They always seem to throw off all of my senses, especially vision and hearing. I'm so sorry to hear that you deal with them chronically. That can't be easy at all. Hoping you're having an easier day today, friend! I really appreciate you spending part of your day here with me!

[@Geomaster97]

What made Remy sadder not only did he take all his frustration out On Timmy, he genuinely believed that Juandissimo didn't care about him it's like he said "Why do you have Parents AND Godparents that love you and I don't"

[@SageArdor]

Nah, the emphasis in Remy's statement is on "and". Remy knows his godparent loves him, but he's bitter that Timmy seems to have both parents AND love him, while with Remy it's just one of the two.

[@CherakieWattsBeale]

I’ve only just discovered your channel and I’m sure you get lots of comments on how great your content is but I just want to say that I genuinely enjoy your voice and the way you intro your videos. I really appreciate the fact that you thank the viewers each episode. It really feels genuine and as someone who needs to hear positive words sometimes (even if they aren’t directly for me), I just want you to know that your gratitude doesn’t fall on deaf ears and that you are greatly appreciated as well.

[@vm141789]

I can actually see why the magical duel could be a thing. Imagine two kids with fairies constantly at each other’s throats. It could be chaos. While it might be more reasonable to just take away both of their fairies for improper use, maybe the fairy council found it better to create the magical duel to leave only one kid miserable. All that said, this episode and the stadium certainly didn’t portray it that way.

[@brandiarmstrong2902]

Is it possible Juandisimo steered him towards Timmy on the sly, b/c the fairies know about each other, and Juandisimo wanted to stalk Wanda?

[@0b13F4st3]

Makes sense.

[@GenAqua]

I do feel bad for Remy, but that doesn't give him the excuse to be a jerk.

[@redgladius9919]

My head cannon was that Remy was just super vindictive and Timmy standing up to him at the movie made him a target for stalking and harassment. I used to be the type to do that over little slights.

[@cvwp2157]

I found your channel a while back, and i been slowly binging it all. Im enjoying your content. My life has been really hard the last few years, and I almost wanted to just give up this year. I have been making changes to better myself, and i just got accepted into college, and that is a huge step for me personally. I hope I can start to work on taking steps to my goals, and im hoping life gets better. Thank you so much for this amazing content it feels good to step back wards into a more simple age and not worry about life.

[@DSdemon767]

I think the reason faries gather in excitement for magical duels is because it doesnt happen often. Its such a rare occurence that when it happens, they’re gonna jump on it

[@Sonicsgirl13]

I believe that the magical duel was made as a sort of safety net for children that are malicious and awful despite how miserable they are. Not kids like Remy but like the kids in Cosmo and Wanda's Hall of bad God kids. However, it was made open for all children with fairies that want to do said challenge. I do feel like it is a test or an obstacle for God kids to go through to see how they are as people after receiving and having fairy God parents. Basically, it's to see if said God child has become a better person with fairies or has gotten spoiled rotten and/or haven't grown much at all as a good person. It's to keep all of fairy world and it's magic safe from those who abuse said power. There's rules for a reason.

[@AGuyNamedZach]

Remy is definitely a multifaceted character. His perception of what he could do/get away with has definitely been influenced by the fact he has money, but looking deeper at the situation, it could also be a cry for help to cover the pain of having neglectful parents. Juandissimo alone can't fill the void of actual parent who love you, no matter how genuine Juandissimo's love for Remy is. With Remy parent's, it speaks to how neglectful his parents, more specifically his father is, with the fact they only spend 2 minutes per day with him. His father can't even remember what kind of relationship he has with Remy, showing just how uninterested he is in his own son. That must sting for Remy in ways only children from neglectful households could understand. While it's not necessarily an excuse, it paints Remy's situation in a whole new light.

[@DuskTillShawn]

🎯 Always with the spot on analysis, my man. It is interesting to think about how Juandissimo is towards Remy as well... I mean, Timmy got Cosmo and Wanda who have a ton of love for each other, but they also have enough love for Timmy as well. Juandissimo on the other hand, feels like he barely has enough love leftover after showering himself constantly with it haha. Even when he had to say goodbye to Remy there wasn't even a tear shed lol. It makes me feel bad for Remy because it seems like the Fairy who's supposed to help fill that void left from lack of parental love, loves himself more than his own Godchild.

They have helped me keep some measure of peace and unwind.

That sucks so hard. I'm sorry that you've been shoved into survival mode like that... So many of us are in a really tough spot right now. A lot of us are struggling. I've literally been grinding nonstop on videos hoping to catch up in time for the holidays. Up until 2am editing, waking up at 9am to start scripting.

Im facing a hefty bit of debt (for me) that started last year aroubd this time. My brother went through a messy divorce that left him devastated, so he went out partying to distract himself. He started doing drugs and got HIV from his dealer. I've been trying to support him financially while he gets his life back on track. Which luckily it looks like it is. He's gotten himself clean and he now has a well paying job.

[@DuskTillShawn]

Oh, man. I'm sorry to hear that friend. I've also got a hefty bit of debt that I've been working on for a couple years now and it feels like every time I get ahead, things come to a grinding halt due to outside circumstances. It's only a matter of time though, friend. Debt doesn't last forever and there's a light at the end of the tunnel for both of us, I promise. As far as your Brother goes, that's such a hard thing to go through. I can't imagine going through a divorce with my wife. That would destroy me. It says a lot about you as a person that you're there for him while he gets his life back on track. A lot of people would have left a sibling in the dust, where you were supportive and offered love.

[@meganshaw1987]

After looking up the word “perro” I think that with the way how Wandesimo is written that the word actually has a double meaning. Wandesimo is both referring to Remy in an endearing term as in a buddy and to the fact Remy will eventually be a player in several areas of life. He’s wealthy, well-educated and good-looking. In addition to that his parents are probably well-known in high society and have connections in high places, so social networking should be less of a problem. So it’s likely that Wandesimo’s use of the word “perro” is more in a positive way than a negative one as it seems to be used more in a warm and supportive way.
