[edit] Plot
[edit] "Odd Jobs"
In this episode, there is a presentation at Dimmsdale Elementary displaying parents' jobs. Timmy Turner's dad works at a pencil factory and throws pencils to the audience, who are then disappointed. Then, Timmy's friends laugh at his dad and make him cry. So he goes online to find a new job. Then Timmy wishes that his fairy godparents, Cosmo and Wanda, could help his dad. First, he picks race car driver as his "really cool job". At first, Mr. Turner is doing very well and everybody is cheering for him, but as soon as he waves back to his cheering son, he messes up. Next, he chooses professional wrestler. He makes a flaw when he dresses up in a pencil costume. The opponent happens to hate pencils and beats him. Finally, he chooses to be an astronaut. He has now found a "really cool job", but Mr. Turner is scheduled to fly on a trip to Uranus which will take 23 years. Now, Timmy wants his dad to get back to his old job because he doesn't want him away for that long. So he goes to the launching site and begs his dad to stop because he really loves him. Timmy's dad agrees, and a monkey ends up being sent to Uranus instead.
[edit] "Movie Magic"
After seeing Tad and Chad decide to become filmmakers, Timmy tries to make a great, incredible, fantastic movie to win a Dimmy Award and impress Trixie. However, the original film (consisting of Timmy, AJ, Chester, Sanje, and Elmer acting as dinosaurs and Roman soldiers against cardboard backgrounds) fails to impress Trixie, while Tad and Chad have made an amazing film. Timmy decides to use his godparents to make a better made and casted film, replacing his friends with real dinosaurs and famous actor Sylvester Calzone. Timmy's friends are hurt that he has cut them, and they leave him, with Cosmo proclaiming "You cut all your friends to make a better film - just like a sleazy Hollywood bigshot! Congradulations, Timmy - you're finally a filmmaker!" Timmy feels guilty, and decides to show the original which, at tremendous laughter, is given the award for best comedy. However, Trixie (stating that comedy is the 2nd lowest form of entertainment) continues to ignore him, but Timmy's friends forgive him.
