"Married to the Mom" is the sixteenth episode in Season 10 of The Fairly OddParents.

Plot

Timmy and Chloe create a girlfriend for Mr. Crocker to get him off their backs.

Why It Can't Be Married

  1. This episode lazily reuses the plot of "The Odd Couple" from Season 4, except it replaces Vicky with Crocker. In addition, the song "Vicky's in Love" has been reprised for Crocker, except that it replaces Vicky's name with Crocker's.
  2. On the subject of Crocker's girlfriend, Timmy names her...Hummanuh...real creative writers...She also has an ugly design, the way she uses her frog-like tongue to grab things (suggested by Timmy) is weird, and the humor surrounding her overall is pretty poor and unfunny. Her nasally annoying voice and laugh will also get on your very last nerves and is a lousy reference to the infamous laugh of Janice Litman's on the NBC sitcom, Friends.
  3. Like "Finding Emo" and "Love at First Bark", this episode contains yet another generic and unoriginal romance story with poor execution.
  4. Repetitive running gags, such as Crocker blaming Timmy for everything and Mr. Turner referring to his wife as "Mom" instead of "Honey".
  5. Very misleading and nonsensical title. In addition, it even shows Mr. Crocker married to his mom on the title card.
    • It even suspiciously copies "Married to Money" from SpongeBob SquarePants, which aired four months prior.
    • This is also an incest joke that the writers take Crocker centric joke to new level.
  6. The episode ends as viewers predict it would for a typical Fairly OddParents episode. When Crocker breaks up with Hummanuh, she turns against him in a King Kong-like fashion until Timmy, Chloe, and their fairies wish up Yowza as Hummanuh’s new boyfriend, allowing her to revert to normal and embrace Yowza, and Crocker's mother rescues her son, with the episode ending with the moral lesson of Crocker's real love being his mother all along.

Redeeming Qualities

  1. The animation and voice acting is still good.
  2. Timmy, Chloe and their fairies are likeable characters.
  3. "Mom! Hummanuh broke the house!"
