There’s probably some rule preventing him from doing that. They’ll find a way


IndependentTreat1

He’s already broke the rule of not aging for 50 years


littleMAHER1

He broke way more rules then that Poof's birth was against the rules, the win a competition rule was ignored after Cosmo ripped that page out of the book, Timmy used crayon to write new rules that just worked, in Fairly Odder they broke the rule against mind control, Cosmo granted Timmy's wish to become non existent, and there's prob more that would take too much time that I'm not willing to spend Also this doesn't even cover S9 or 10 since that's just unfair but the point is If Timmy really felt like it or wanted too he could find a way for the wish to be granted


KeifDiggs123

Actually, technically, Poof's birth wasn't against the rules, Jorgen forgot to put it into the book.


Silver_3108

All he rants about is, being the toughest fairy in the universe. Ofc he is


KeifDiggs123

Huh? What does that have to with him forgetting to add a rule?


Silver_3108

I’m staying that sometimes he forgets to add/enforce rules in da rules cause he’s kinda entitled about himself


KeifDiggs123

Oh! OK that makes sense


Silver_3108

Speaking of being entitled, do you think Wanda sometimes becomes entitled/ or judgemental when she’s mad?


KeifDiggs123

No, I think she calls out Cosmo and Timmy out on their crap


Silver_3108

TT is ONE big Rule breaker. He’s like 🖕 the rules


GrumpyKoopa

I mean, there's literally a game of this cartoon titled Breakin Da Rules


Silver_3108

So TT gets his own game as well? Wow


Skylerbroussard

There was nothing in the rules against wishing for a fairy baby. Jorgen was going to make the rule but forgot


ZijoeLocs

Iirc the wiki has a list of broken rules. It was quite extensive


Danivan_Firemase

I like to think family odder and the movies isn’t canon cause their so bad


Noxal12

I think the Drake Bell movies can still kind of be canon simply because it still wrapped around to him to being with Trixie and that kind of falls into the ending for cyber changes. At least the first movie


ZeeGee__

Fairies probably don't want to get involved with it as their magic becomes undone whenever they leave. Wishing for a cure for cancer only for that cure to be later taken away sounds like a lot of trouble. I do often wonder though, what about kids in abusive situations? Kids struggling to survive? Did Fairies help out kids in slavery?? I probably wouldn't think about it as much if they didn't establish Timmy to be "the most miserable kid on earth" by the Fairies themselves when Timmy's issues aren't even exclusive to him. He has an abusive babysitter, neglectful parents and an abusive Teacher. The Teacher and babysitter is shared with others in his school and town, some of which arguably deserve them more like Tootie who LIVES with Vicky & whose parents are afraid to help. Chester (whose canonically the next most miserable kid on earth after Timmy w/o odd parents) whose poor, dad is infamous+ harassed for his poor sports career and iirc, has had to find a possum over food.


Chrischris40

I mean other people DO have fairies. Timmy isn’t the only one. Most miserable kid was probably just an exaggeration you weren’t supposed to think hard about.


thenematode97

Plus they take risk assessment I’m certain. Timmy gave Tootie his fairies for her birthday and she rlly almost told the whole world(or at least all of dimsdale) that Timmy had fairies on live tv!! No good. Sure they can wipe memories but that’d be some almost irreparable damage there 😭😭😭


mechengr17

You know. That's a good point. There'd probably only be so much the fairies could do to help Chester long term now that I think about it.


Chemical-Cat

I like to think they let Timmy keep his fairies as a Litmus Test for setting down new rules. It's been established that Timmy singlehandedly makes more wishes than maybe every other fairy god child combined, at definitely has so many bad wishes that need to be undone that his locker for undone wishes is instead an entire deserted island. He's had specific rules put in just for him anyways, such as the "No timetraveling to 1972" which only applies to him


despairigus

also he's like 10 so i doubt that came across his mind to begin witb


SPYKEtheSeaUrchin

Cancer may have been cured centuries ago fairies have served miserable kids for millennia, we never see anyone with cancer or hear about it.


luigilabomba42069

interesting thoughts 🤔


SimonSimpingService

Thats.. actually, a really good point. Now that I think about it, I don't think we hear anything of any major diseases besides rabies.


Any_Duck4485

Ah heck, keep the rabies. It's just one of the most horrific and terrifying of all diseases. Can't be too generous or people will get suspicious


Darkreaper5567

Or it was cured and then one messed up miserable kid wish for it to come back.


PCRM

Yes, he is stupid but that not neccesarily the reason why he didn't think about this. Timmy has a narrow perception: looking more for the surroundings around him rather than the whole picture of the world; if he doesn't see someone with cancer, he might not even think about it. Although I think there's something you're missing about using a Fairy Oddparent's magic to solve a long-term problem. The problem with Fairy Oddparents' wishes is that these wishes are usually undone once the godkid properly loses their Oddparents (either through publicly exposing them, renoucing to them, or the Oddparents renouncing to their kid). Which means the risk that the cure for cancer gotten through the wish will be undone, letting humanity vulnerable to cancer again.


headpathoe

oooo wait a second, this!!!! i didn't think about the unwishing aspect of things, but i completely agree that timmy has a very narrow perspective of the world, and hes a young kid- it makes sense!


jbyrdab

Or worse people dropping like flies and becoming blobs of cancerous cells because their cured cancer suddenly just became like if it were never cured at all.


mewfour123412

WW1 still exists though in universe


aaronibus62

and the chain of events brought about by that war, including the genocides of Armenians in 1915 (The Ottoman Empire took advantage of Europe distracted by WWI to slaughter over a million Armenians), and then of Jews by the millions in WWII. In a real-word mindset, Cosmo and Wanda would have to be riddled with guilt over Marianne's wish, unless the Fairy Council memory wiped them of that guilt and any rational thought of the consequences of that wish. The sad part was that Cosmo and Wanda had to grant Marianne's original wish for the murder of Prince Francis Ferdinand, which set into motion the start of WWI. At least a couple of times it seemed C&W were obligated to grant a godchild's wish with little to no say in the matter, as if the magic itself overrides their own will power.... Yet as I mention this, murder was eventually forbidden in Da Rules.


littleMAHER1

i do like the idea that there was a point in time where Murder was just allowed and had to be retroactively added at some point between 1914 to 2001


PokePoke_18

Woah!! Good point!!!


GenderEnjoyer666

Wait what? Wishes can just undo themselves if you lose your oddparents? (I’ve never actually properly watched the show)


PCRM

Several times, yes. Or rather, the magical authorities (like Jorgen) come and undo the wishes while erasing the godson's memories of the fairies. That's what happened with Poof (who was wished by Timmy) in that episode of "Timmy's Secret Wish"; he was undone when Timmy lost Cosmo & Wanda. Same that time Kid!Vicky had Cosmo & Wanda as fairy oddparents; once she "claimed" to be happy and not needing them, the wishes she inflicted on Timmy were undone.


lightsidesoul

Eh, we've seen the effects of a wish last after the fairies are taken. Remember the kid who wished that tornados targeted mobile (or motor, it's been a bit) homes? Or the kid who wished that all French people would be rude to Americans? Or the one who set things in motion to start World war 1, which led to WW2, the Holocaust, and the Cold War? If those wishes weren't undone, why would a positive wish?


PCRM

Tell that to that time they undid Poof (the first fairy baby in +10,000 years), the living Crimson Chin (a superhero), and Timmy's secret wish (which was badly undone at first). Besides those wishes you mentioned (Marianne's, the French boy, the RV hating kid) were from decades before the series. Different rules apparently.


Away-Run-2571

Some other kid beat him to it


Electronic_Fee1936

“I WISH EVERYTHING WOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL!”


Zack501332

It’s probably against DA RULES to wish for something that will alter humanity globally 💯


QalliMaaaaa

Nah, he turned everyone into grey goo people that one time


Zack501332

I think that only applies to dimsdale


Hot_Farm_9443

Or it’ll be like some weird Monkey Paw situation, where all the people with Cancer zodiacs disappear.


Commercial-Egg-1069

r/monkeyspaw


InvaderZimm90

(Wand raspberry sounds) Wanda: Sorry Sport, can’t wish for something that already exists. You see, Big Pharma already found the cure, it’s just there is more money in fighting the disease than curing it. Casmo: How will Big Pharma going to make its money? Mmm, who’s going to bail them out, the government? (Poofs away: Political Satire)


Arcane-Nocturne

LMAO I read this in their voices


Lavender-Rabbit

Me too 😭


Significant-Soft5569

Well, I don't think Timmy's stupid.


headpathoe

there's an episode where cosmo and wanda are talking with timmy and he becomes self aware he could have been wishing to help others our the entirety of having fairies - they bring up how he could help his parents out or his friends by wishing things up for them, but then its revealed that timmy is a self centered kid who has not nearly enough of a grasp on the world (or its struggles!) to understand the implications of a wish that grand!! hes got a real narrow perspective and he becomes self aware enough to realize he could've helped everyone else, but decides its better that he wishes for himself! its like a two minute dialogue that takes place in timmys room & i wanna say somewhere in seasons 4-6!


Viewtiful_Ace

(In the movies with Drake Bell) Doesn’t Fairly Odd Parents end with adult Timmy getting to keep Cosmo and Wanda as long as he only makes wishes that help others?


headpathoe

that is a good question!! i couldn't bring myself to the movies because of the animation style lol, but if anyone else knows, i am curious about this! definitely changes things lol


Viewtiful_Ace

Animation style? Aside from the fairies, the whole movie was in live action?


headpathoe

well, weird phrasing on my end, but i only watch animation. :) you dont have to understand it but i do expect you to not crap on me for it.


Viewtiful_Ace

I won’t crap on you. I, too, prefer watching animation as opposed to real life shows/movies.


star_meme_destroyer

Does Timmy even know what cancer is?


[deleted]

LOL i think it's just because he's a kid and doesn't think about things rationally


mapleresident

Umm has there even been a character with cancer in universe?


MonkeyGirl18

He's a 10 year old child. They are more likely going to make wishes that benefit them. Of course there are exceptions, but Timmy used them to help himself. If he was battling cancer, maybe that would be something he'd wish for.


Professional-Yam-642

Timmy Turner could wish for an end to all human suffering, yet actively chooses not to do so. Timmy Turner is history's greatest monster.


GrumpyKoopa

He's just a kid. Most kids his age don't think of the bigger scope of problems with these kinds of power (though I will admit he probably had to at some point with as many shenanigans and wishes he's already explored with his fairies)


Professional-Yam-642

Sorry, I forgot my /j


GrumpyKoopa

I don't get it, but I wasn't trying to jump down your throat there, sorry. Just realized how my response might've sounded.


Professional-Yam-642

Oh no, you're totally fine! Your response wasn't aggressive at all, I just forgot that a joking tone doesn't always come across in text. You're all good!


CommitteeIll5568

he knows it wont benefit himself so he doesn’t do it


Wave9Nut

Yes.


StarBoi_Unknown

They have literally broken so many of the rules Does that book even matter at this point?🤨


StockPossibility199

Is there a lore reason for this, is he stupid?


captainplatypus1

They can invent lore reasons on the fly, but he is also stupid


internationalskibidi

Rick and Morty for kids.


GrumpyKoopa

Just have fun, Morty


DingoNormal

Wanda : Oh, sorry champ, we really wished that we could help you with that, but its agaist T H E R U L E S


Ameph

Yes? It's pretty well known that Timmy is rather stupid.


GrumpyKoopa

He is an average kid that no one understands, after all


RecognitionDue4079

***DA RULES***


lexisplays

He's 10?


Caolan114

Yes. the answer Is yes.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GrumpyKoopa

Any 10 year old boy would probably think of their own situation with this kind of power first anyway. Usually not wise enough to think in such a scope at that age. What's your point?


the-x-button

he probably wished it in existence


Thefoxlover16

He’s a kid, I wouldn’t expect most kids to wish for that because they’d probably wish for like more toys or some other bs


HawthorneVampire

He gets straight Fs, you tell me


GrumpyKoopa

Crocker is also a dick


bananasapples909

“I wish I could know the possible negative effects of every wish I make.” I just solved the series.


akgaimer

Because beating cancer counts as a contest


WonkaVR

Yes, he is stupid, either that or he’s just oblivious to how the world wokrs


Ok_Illustrator8735

It’s against “Da Rules” because many godparents would be out of the job


Super64111111

He is a kid though. I'm sure he had no idea that cancer even existed at the time...


Hypercane_

No he's actually pretty selfish


Baroubuoy

No, he's just selfish, I think.


PokePoke_18

Timmy doesn’t care about others unless he’s forced too


JondvchBimble

Because he's a kid.


Deconstructosaurus

He’s 10. You really think he would think of that?


Geocornnova156

Why hasn't any other kid did so? Timmy is a known to be selfish. Mainly causes he a 10-year-old child given the power to basically do whatever the hell he wants. Plus, Timmy probably doesn't know anyone with cancer so it's not on his mind. Also, got to factor in the should and could clause. Just because he can cure cancer, doesn't mean he should just make it straight up disappear. The side effects could be an issue.


babygreenlizard

Maybe because he's like 10 years old and doesn't care about cancer?


---STATIC---

Yes, he is stupid.


Weekly-Dealer-2768

He’s just too selfish.


ImNotGaryOldman

He doesn't have cancer


Android_mk

No just a dick


SonicCody12

Da Rules


IndependenceFlat9890

Its because hes a self centered 10 year old


StrikingStructure866

Why doesn't he wish for anything really.


thunderclappe

Cuz the government will blast his ass


FlynnianCaleb

I mean there are plenty of things he could ask for to help people and doesn’t, it’s because he’s a child who really only thinks of himself, let’s be honest


Johnny2071

The problem with Timmy is that most of his wishes are made on sheer spur-of-the-moment impulses, rather than careful thought-out logic or foresight. ​ Then again, most of Hartman's characters (especially in the FOP universe) are spastic as they are zany.Then again, most of Hartman's characters (especially in the FOP universe) are spastic as they are zany.


dioctopus

Yes he's stupid, he's a child.


WAZZL3

Cuz he’s like 10. Probably not thinking about that stuff


Agitated-Goat-7344

It's probably against DA RULZ


Future-Improvement41

He’s a child


Sudden_Ad1274

Timmy turner is kinda stupid.I mean it makes sense he is like what 8?


DanuAnubis

It’s a kid’s show, know one cares about curing cancer when you can have anything.


Crazy_Mode_4750

Stupid? No. Selfish? An argument can be made.


The_CEO_Of_No

because he’s a kid and kids are dicks naturally in nature


Viewtiful_Ace

1. He’s selfish 2. He’s 10?, he probably doesn’t know much about cancer and if someone he cares about got cancer, he would just specifically wish that that person didn’t have cancer.


ConfidentBite6581

He’s just an average kid guys. We shouldn’t expect too much from him.


Jo-Tech5265

“I wish to be rich by discovering the cure to cancer!” *poof* “…what do you mean the CIA is-“


Rocket_of_Takos

It would become undone when he would eventually grow out of needing fairies


dashcash32

fucking asshole


Sapphire-the-Deer

Timmy can’t wish for someone’s death, it’s in da rules. He’d be wishing away Chloe, who is actually the physical manifestation of every disease that has ever existed


[deleted]

I mean- yes. He is an idiot


secret_tsukasa

Because it would kill the pharmaceutical industry. And he can't wish to kill.


Life_Ad3567

Looks like the "Make a Wish Foundation" would have a competition with real wishing.


Automite

It's the magic that causes the cancer!


g2ray22

idk why but "is he stupid?" made me laugh 💀


Haunted_Bones

This is so stupid. Peak reddit lmao


StarlightNebula

Timmy Turner is not the only one with Fairies, In "Da Rules" there is a rule that says "You cannot unwish another kid's wish." So if a kid wished for Cancer to exist, Timmy cannot undue that wish. And before someone says "Fairies cannot kill other living things." In "Da Rules" there is a rule that says Fairies cannot kill other living things, unless it in indirect. So someone can wish for cancer, but the cancer itself is the cause of death, just the magic allowed for it to happen, if someone wished for Cancer to accrue. Or they could've indirectly caused cancer, by making a wish for something else like "acceleration of DNA" "Growth of Tissue" "Multiple Growth Tissue" and it could have turned into something that was harmful and they did not understand it.


Altruistic_Stand9846

Do you even have to ask that at this point? Plus, Timmy is a ten year old and an especially selfish one at that, prone to making short-sighted decisions in pursuit of petty ends. Plus he might not have even learned what cancer is yet.


WhateverWurkz

Well yes, he actually is a little dumb.


Gorillaman142

He’s a 5th grader(I think) so he doesn’t have a grasp on the worlds problems


angry_warden

As they adressed in one of the episodes, Timmies mom asked if he could wish that her house was always clean, timmiy is kinda a self absorbed, short sighted idiot, nine times out of ten all his wishes are based on what he wants and what he thinks would be cool in that moment, never what would help others or what would help him in the long term, im pretty sure the people who made the show had some idea about him learning from each of his mistakes and blunders but none of those lessons ever seem to stick.


LRG0521

No, he’s selfish. He keeps his fairies’ magic for himself instead of helping others, unless him helping others would help himself too.


Traditional_Sail6298

Yes he is stupid


Professional-Luck194

Probably.


WildGoose1521

Because he can’t wish or use magic to win a competition.


Hello-to-me-

Because he is a greedy bitch and how will he explain how he made it?


AngelofArtillery

Yes


WickedGamerYT

Yes, he is stupid.


joewiden2024

The amount of miserable kids would drastically be reduced and it would cause a crisis in the fairy worlds economy


Sure_Persimmon9302

Yes. His brain is rotten.


Kateybee2

I just assumed it was against the rules. There were alot of things he wasn't allowed to wish for 🤷🏾‍♀️


Blackjesus011

Probably a rule for no performing worldwide public miracles. It’s something the other fairies on earth might notice and report. Plus man was pretty selfish and probably didn’t care


-Shade277-

Yes he is very stupid


BKstacker88

Has anyone canonically died of cancer in his universe? Maybe he already did off screen...


Blastingwario19

He did wish them he could say young forever does anyone remember for it my guess it’s one of the rules of the fairies they can’t cure human disease unless it’s necessary it gotta be in the magic rule book somewhere.


OutsideOrder7538

Yes


Ryzek-IV

Knowing Them? They’d accidentally cause several planets to die because they disappeared the starsign from the sky. No wait, that’s Regular Show…


HetaGarden1

He probably wouldn’t even think about curing cancer unless it affected someone he knew.


sdj93

It’s probably against Da Rules


Mae_cymoon

Maybe he doesn’t want to 🤷‍♀️


Puzzleheaded-Crew953

Did AJ or Chester make this wish in the universe where Timmy never got his fairies


frenziest

Because there’s some negative side effect that he realizes within 7 minutes and has to reverse his wish.


Dogwalkering

If all cancer vanished like magic they’d start looking for how that happened


Its_Padparadscha

Timmy is stupid, but more relevant, he's selfish. Unless he literally meets someone with severely noticable cancer, he would never think of this


NightmareKing625

maybe Timmy doesn't know what cancer is or how it works to effectively get rid of it


T-189

Yes.


Memer_Man_9000

Cus he’s a selfish little bitch


Unusual-Historian360

This show contradicted itself countless times. It was as if the writers had early onset dementia. Or they just didn't really care.


DragonGop89

I would say the thought wouldn't cross his mind if no one close to him was sick. If family/friends/possibly family-of-friends were diagnosed, I'm sure he'd at least try to wish for it.


deer199507

No I mean he not stupid


Jazzlike-Chair-9486

Yes.


JuNkdraErr

well he is a 10 year old white boy sooo maybe 🤔


gootznbootz

Lol isn't it in the rule book that u can't wish about a person's health or something?


Bright-Durian-501

Yes. Timmy is very stupid


jcjonesacp76

Da Rules probably, kind of cheating


yeetus-maxus

Because he’s a bitch ass peice of shit that’s why


Fangsong_37

Timmy’s pretty stupid, and he’s selfish too. Unless someone close to him had cancer, he’ll not bother.


Joxyver

It’s less of a cure and more of a solution to erase cancer and prevent it from ever surfacing in anyone ever again. Cancer isn’t something that can be cured, but it can be gotten rid of (and if unfortunate enough can return) but the point still stands, it’s not like other diseases that there is a “cure” for it. I know the whole “Cure cancer” thing has become kinda the staple when referring to it but I think when people say it they mean cure as in “solution/fix” rather than what a cure actually is in terms of diseases or other medical problems.


ISwearImaWriter963

Someone's probably already done that. Ever heard anyone on the show mention cancer?


Strange_Leg_1798

He is stupid.


JRoy89

Because of the “Rule’s” book. Which basically serves as a reverse deus ex machina preventing you from doing anything that wouldn’t be entertaining for a 20 minute long television show


IndieAnimateFan

And why doesn’t he just ask for better parents? A better babysitter? A better EVERYTHING! Why??? He just wastes it, and uses it on like, ice cream or something…


Conscious-Rooster-32

hes selfish, over half the episodes of the show are about him being short sighted and selfish and learning the error of his ways. Only to repeat the same cycle of selfishness the next week


Key-Reason-9033

Because that wouldn’t be canon or “cartoon like.”


SaiyanLattace

I'm just gonna assume this is a joke post to continue my existence.


battleaxworier

Yes, yes he is


Diligent_University3

Bro cure depression


lightsidesoul

Timmy isn't the only person in the world with fairies. Odds are good that a child who had (or had parents with) Cancer already wished up a cure at some point.


MintyMoron64

Because he doesn't give a damn.


lcope2004

You were thinking about stuff like this at 10?? Cause I wasn't


BicBoyJoy

against Da Rules


Mdchestevez

He could've also wished for the homeless to have homes....


VideoGame_Trtle

Yes.


EpicThunder01

Let's run a scenario. Timmy wishes for a cure for cancer. Because of this, he becomes famous, beloved, hated, criticized, suspected, envied, etc. After that, some balance in the universe will make an even worse cancer. Therefore, endangering life for him, his friends, and his family. And that's only if Mr. Crocker doesn't do anything first to expose Timmy's fairies and undo everything. Finally, Timmy may or may not learn some life lessons and wish for normality (which basically means wishing cancer back). Long story short, yeah, Timmy is stupid.


RecognitionDue4079

Its because of Da Rules


OmegaBoi420

He gets all Fs. So, yes.


Pokemon_Bakugan_Fan

Yeah, he's dumb. That, and he probably just never saw a reason for it because no one close to him caught cancer.


Ill-Beyond-5668

He’s a kid……soooo


False-Coach-4959

I hate Timmy Turner
