'''Mr. and Mrs. Turner''' are [[cartoon characters]] in the [[Nickelodeon TV channel|Nickelodeon]] [[animated television series]] ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]''. |
|||
==Fictional Character Biography== |
|||
Timmy's Mom and Timmy's Dad are the parents of Timmy Turner. However, in one time-travel episode, "''Father Time''", it is revealed that even as children they were known as "Mom" and "Dad". Timmy refers to him as "Dad", and Mr.Turner says "My name's not Dad, it's--" but is prevented from stating what his name is by the noise of a passing truck. Also, in one episode, "''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''" is about to reveal Mr. and Mrs. Turner's first names but the noise of a crashing book prevents people from knowing what their first names are. Mr. Turner unashamedly surpasses stereotypical masculine [[gender role]]s. For instance, in one episode he enters the "Miss Dimmsdale" contest (and wins); he appears to have a [[Limerence|crush]] on singing sensation [[Chip Skylark]] (voice by [[Chris Kirkpatrick]]); and whenever he encounters his son's fairy-crazed teacher, [[Denzel Q. Crocker|Mr. Crocker]], Mr. Turner always notes all of Crocker's unpleasant features and exclaims in a jealous voice, "He's gorgeous!" Mr. Turner also tends to scream like a little girl when something bad happens. Both parents are quite clueless at times, in contrast to many other children's cartoons which feature "wise" parental figures. |
|||
Though the Turner's love Timmy, they appear to often treat him with indifference (which Timmy feels is abuse), frequently going on trips and abandoning their son with his hated babysitter, [[Vicky (The Fairly OddParents)|Vicky]], and never realizing how she terrorizes him, believing him to be responsible for all the trouble, chaos, destruction when he is framed by Vicky. In the pilot episodes of the series (on ''[[Oh Yeah! Cartoons]]''), their faces were always either [[unseen character|just out of shot or otherwise obscured]]. |
|||
Mom and Dad have a [[back-story]] which is often shown in the series. Since his childhood, Dad has always despised [[List of The Fairly OddParents characters#Other adults|Sheldon Dinkleburg]] for many reasons. One of those reasons was that Mom was in love with Sheldon. Dad did everything he could to win her affections, from winning a race and giving her the trophy to sending her "threat-mantic" letters. But things finally went Dad's way in college, on [[March 15]], [[1984]], the day when [[Denzel Crocker]] tried to give a speech about the existence of "[[fairy godparents|FAIRY GODPARENTS]]!", when Sheldon broke up with Mom to make a fortune, and she finally turned to Dad, who was working as a janitor. |
|||
Eventually, they married and had Timmy. One episode established that they had hoped for a baby girl while Mrs. Turner was expecting, and had bought a large quantity of pink items, including his pink hat. Timmy turned out to be a boy, but the clothes they had bought didn't go to waste (as Timmy's baby photos of him in dresses show). In "[[Abra-Catastrophe]]" it is shown that years ago Dad was nearly obsessed with capturing every moment of Timmy's childhood on tape, but one white lie made by Mom and Dad--saying they were leaving without Timmy when they were not--spawned the arrival of Vicky and the end of Dad's videotaping. What Mom and Dad never figure out is that Timmy's goldfish are actually his fairy godparents, [[Cosmo and Wanda]]. Mom and Dad notice a lot of ways Cosmo and Wanda disguise themselves, but never figure out the secret until Timmy (temporarily) blows their cover in order to end Mr. Crocker's "New World Order" and free Cosmo and Wanda from Crocker's power staff. |

== Trivia == |
|||
* Mom works as a real-estate agent, and Dad works in middle management. Dad's job is often described as a "pencil pusher", to the point where Dad is obsessed with them. He even received the coveted honor of sharpening his pencil in the "Silver Sharpener" only to knock it to the ground and winding up being paddled upside down with Mom in the Canadian Justice System.Dad works at a company called Big Co. |
|||
* In around three episodes, Mom and Dad are transformed into costumed superheroes known as '''Mighty Mom & Dyno Dad'''. |
|||
* "[[List of The Fairly OddParents episodes#Season 6: 2005-2006|''Smart Attack'']]" reveals that Mom wears contact lenses. |
|||
* As a young girl, Mom was in scouting, and is still extremely good at outdoor activities such as pitching tents and cooking outdoors. She is also an accomplished builder of catapults. |
|||
* Mom and Dad's faces were never shown in the ''[[Oh Yeah! Cartoons]]'' shorts. Their heads were sometimes visible, however. The episode "''[[Party of Three]]''" shows that Mom was once a redhead, but when ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'' became a regular [[Nicktoons]] series, and Mom and Dad were given faces, Mom's hair changed to light brown, except in a flashback during ''[[Abra-Catastrophe]]'', in which it was red again. So it's possible she got her hair dyed. |
|||
* Mom wishes she had given birth to [[Chip Skylark]] instead of Timmy. |
|||
* Dad's age is 42 because in the episode ''[[Odd Jobs/Movie Magic|Odd Jobs]]'', he said, "I will be on a mission to Uranus for 23 years! See you when I'm 65!" |
|||
* Dad's favorite shirt is a purple 80's t-shirt that says "BORN TO PARTY", and Mom tells him that it was stolen by Canadians. But it was eventually found in the garbage created under their house when Timmy wished all of their garbage away, ticking off Wanda's "mob type" father, Big Daddy, who runs the garbage collection racket in [[Fairy World]]. |
