**Cosmo Julius Cosma** is one of the main characters on the show. He is one of Timmy, and Chloe's fairy godparents alongside his wife, Wanda, and his son, Poof. Cosmo is one of the dumbest characters on the show, rivaled only by Timmy's Dad, and his ideas are what often lead Timmy into trouble. He is also, at times, a bit over-emotional. Cosmo is voiced by Daran Norris in the cartoon, who also voiced the CGI (3D) version of Cosmo in the live-action "Fairly Odd Movie" and its sequels. A humanized version of Cosmo also appeared in the first live movie, played in live-action by Jason Alexander. This will focus on seasons 1-8 of the show, where he was good.

## Why He Rocked

1. Unlike Timmy's real father, he is a lot more caring and loves Timmy and makes sure he satisfies and keeps him happy, but he will make sure to do what is right and is also strict and will follow Da Rules, so he can make sure that Timmy can't have everything go his way.
2. He gives Timmy good advice about how some of his wishes might backfire and might not work.
3. Despite he and Wanda's contrasting personalities and their tendencies to argue, they stay married and have a good relationship. Wanda usually acts as the mind (and the bravery) while Cosmo acts as the fun.
4. Before Poof, he serves as a father-like figure towards Timmy.
5. He is carefree and happy-go-lucky and always wants to make sure that Timmy has fun.
6. Daran Norris does a flawless job voicing him in the original *Oh Yeah! Cartoons* and the first two seasons of the show.
	* Speaking of the aforementioned original pilot shorts, he was originally written and portrayed as laidback and intelligent, and spoke in a suave, car salesman-like voice before he was dumb down in the green lighted series, but still kept his overall charm for the most part.
7. His stupidity is very charming and funny and contributes to some of the show's funniest moments. Despite this, he is still self-aware and proved several times that he can be responsible and tried to help, such as in "Abra-Catastrophe!" where he tried to save Wanda from Mr. Crocker and in "Wanda's Day Off!" where he tried to prove to Wanda that he can be an independent parent to Timmy while she is temporarily away from them.
8. He always defends Wanda and gets jealous of Juandissimo, Wanda’s ex, and stand up towards those who insult her like Mama Cosma (his mom).
9. He is noted to be one of the most powerful fairies ever, seeing as he blew up all of Fairy World in the first 5 seconds after he was born, sunk Atlantis 9 times, destroyed Fairy World again 5 more times, caused Mt. Vesuvius to erupt and destroy Pompeii, transformed Xanadu into Pittsburg, summoned up a gigantic three-headed hydra, whom he dubbed "Snowball", with one careless wave of his wand, and was able to accidentally wish away Wanda's wand and make wands in "Wishology", which is something that it is said that fairies cannot do when they say that magic cannot wish away magic. These actions would make the fairies decide not to have any more children until Poof was born ten thousand years later.
10. He and Poof have a good relationship like a young father and infant son would have. Poof refers to Cosmo as "Dada" and somewhat recognizes his father's stupidity, but loves him with all his heart.

## Bad Qualities

1. Unfortunately, he was flanderized in Seasons 9-10, becoming a generic idiotic husband stereotype who frequently loses his wand for what can only be described as plot contrivance.
	* It also varies whether he was in character or not in Seasons 6-8. For example, following Poof's introduction, Cosmo has become less empathetic towards Timmy in several cases, with the offending episode being "Lights Out", where he was arguably at his worst as he repeatedly tried to kill Timmy throughout that episode for a petty reason: because he read Poof a scary bedtime story.
2. His and Wanda's squabbling can be too much to deal with.
3. In Season 5, the writers often wrote a lot of mean-spirited and unfunny jokes surrounding his and Wanda's marriage, which makes the dynamic between the duo not very charming and loving. Thankfully, once Poof came aboard in Season 6, Cosmo and Wanda were revamped into being loving godparents.
4. His stupidity can be annoying, unfunny and troublesome at times.
5. His high-pitched voice from Season 3 onward is kinda annoying as well, since it was either the executives at Nickelodeon or series creator Butch Hartman wanting to dumb Cosmo down as the show progressed.
