Magical Nanny: Difference between revisions

* ''[[My Wife and Kids]]'' spoofs this in one episode with a [[Parody Sue]] nanny (played by the always awesome [[Betty White]]) who evokes a mystified "Wow..." from everyone around her.

* Mentioned briefly in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "A Christmas Carol". Having gone back in time to try to change the life of a scrooge-character for the better by destroying his [[Freudian Excuse]], he briefly claims to be his new baby sitter.

'''Doctor''': [[Dissimile|Good, 'cause that comparison would have been rubbish]]. }}

* Parodied in ''[[South Park]]'' with the various reality show nannies trying to tame ''Cartman''. It ends badly for all of them until the Dog Whisperer comes and gets Cartman to shape up. Only after he fails to marry Mrs. Cartman do things become undone.

* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' has Shary Bobbins, an obvious parody, who comes, temporarily transforms the family, only to have them transform to their former unruly selves. She then leaves, not because she thinks her work is done, but because she realizes they're hopeless cases. The episode closes with her getting sucked into a jet engine as she flies away.

And so I must be leaving yoooou!"'' }}

* ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'': Dr. Henry Killinger could be considered a [[Magical Nanny]]. He flies with a parasol and has a magic bag. A Magic Murder Bag, but a magic bag nonetheless.
