Return of the L.O.S.E.R.S. (The Fairly OddParents)

"Return of the L.O.S.E.R.S."
The ultimate no-hold-barred example of how not to make a sequel episode with these “L.O.S.E.R.S” returning.

"Return of the L.O.S.E.R.S." is the seventh episode in Season 10 of The Fairly OddParents, and the 264th overall episode of the series.

Plot

Timmy's enemies learn that he is helpless without his fairies, and try to destroy him while he is weak, while Chloe has to deal with babysitting him.

Why It's One Of The L.O.S.E.R.S.

1. The portrayal of Timmy in this episode feels like the writers are treating him like a complete and utter joke. He suddenly got so lazy, he can't walk or even blink without assistance from his fairies, even though he's been able to do that in the previous seasons, and even before he met his fairy godparents.
   • Instead of being funny, this idea comes off as very illogical and unbearably stupid.
2. The gross close-up of the spiders looks disturbing.
3. Likewise, the League Of Super Evil Revenge Seekers (or L.O.S.E.R.S. for short) have been flanderized beyond likability, as they went from actually getting close to killing Timmy to using Looney Tunes-esque tactics with all its charm sucked out since the team barely even try with disguises and stealth. Heck, they even reveal their evil plans right in front of protagonists' faces.
4. Cosmo and Wanda's subplot serves nothing to the episode other than filler and to have them unable to provide backup when the L.O.S.E.R.S. arrive. This time, they leave Timmy so they can buy the new iWand, which is another pathetic attempt at trying to stay relevant by making references to the iPhone.
   • The name of the store they head off to is called the "iWand Store". That name is just stupid, as it would be like calling the Apple Store the "iPhone Store".
5. In a slap to the face, Dark Laser reveals he has a death laser... right in the climax of the episode.
6. When the L.O.S.E.R.S thought they had killed Timmy, Dark Laser decides to frame his pet toy dog Flipsie, who is his best friend.
7. The entire setup of this episode makes it feel more like an approved trollfic than an actual Fairly OddParents episode.
8. Despite being a sequel to the episode "When Losers Attack", Vicky is nowhere to be seen.
9. Mr. Turner is shoehorned in as usual like with most episodes in seasons 9 and 10, though he only has a minor role here.
10. Like any episode that features Foop without his parents, this episode misses opportunities to use his parents, Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda.

Redeeming Qualities

1. Good voice acting, as usual.
2. Chloe is less annoying this episode.
3. Some of the moments can be hilarious to laugh at.
