  • Mr. Turner is notable for having the first lines ever in the series, ("Thanks for babysitting, Vicky. Timmy just loves making new friends, don't you Timmy?", in The Fairly OddParents!). At this point in the series, Dad has a lower, more mature voice which Cosmo also has in the episode.
  • "Scout's Honor" is the first instance in which he appears without his wife Mrs. Turner.
  • He was the world Charade champion 5 years running.
  • Despite appearing physically weak and having a pot belly, he is actually quite an athletic and strong man.
  • Dad works in middle management. His job is often described as a "pencil pusher", to the point where he 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. The company that he works at is called Big Co. He is shown working in Pencil Nexus in The Boss of Me suggesting that Dad lost his job at Big Co. at some point prior to the latter mentioned episode.
  • Timmy's dad has two cars, a green one that is seen in several episodes as "The Big Problem" and "Vicky Loses Her Icky", and "Striker Z", the car he got in "Engine Blocked", and that despite having been destroyed at the end of the episode, appeared again in the episode, "Wishy Washy", as being owned by Mr. Turner.

  • Mr. Turner has been two superheroes; Dyno Dad and Nog Man.

  • Along with Mom, his real first name has never been revealed. Whenever their names are revealed, the show has it inaudible by either a truck passing by or just silenced.

Also, Mr. Turner was always named "Timmy's Dad" by everyone except Vicky who called him by "Mr. Turner".
