Jorgen Von Strangle is a character on the animated series The Fairly OddParents. Voiced by Daran Norris, Jorgen is a high-ranking official in Fairy World and the toughest fairy in the universe; while his exact position is never definitively stated, he seems to be the fairies' leader or military head. He is also married to the Tooth Fairy and hates Timmy Turner (despite being fairly neutral to him at times). He resembles Arnold Schwarzenegger and speaks with an Austrian accent. Cosmo and Wanda are his best friends by default, as nobody else is able to stand his near-constant abuse. He's very proud of his power and his physique, bringing it up irritatingly often in conversation ("I was enjoying my muscular bath...") Besides a few others (the female clerk at the fiary day spa and the Tooth Fairy), he is the only known fairy that is the size of a normal human being, despite being much taller than any normal Fairly Odd Parents' human adult characters. Also, he doesn't appear to have wings (claiming that they are "too girly"); however, in several episodes, he is shown to have a jet-pack instead. He was once a high-ranking general, until several encounters with Cosmo ruined his reputation as a leader (as revealed in flashbacks in the episode "This is your Wish!"). Jorgen was also a Saturday Night Fever-style disco fan during the 1970s, sporting a purple afro. He still has a thing for lava lamps (an example being Norm's, though he comments how it'd make a great urinal cake).
He is none too bright, easily duped or making an idiot of himself otherwise. When Jorgen wondered who the non-fairy with Cosmo and Wanda was during Fairy Idol (Timmy dressed in Crocker's protective clothing), Cosmo told him it was their pet beaver. Jorgen believed it soundly. He considered a career in comedy once after making a room full of people laugh when Timmy couldn't, to the disdain of his wife.
Jorgen likes to "scramble the Fairies" (a Fairy World equivalent of scrambling squadrons of fighter jets) for no particular reasons other than he enjoys it. He also loves to abuse his subordinate fairy Binky quite a bit through the series, albeit within some degree of reason. (When Fairy World was blown up, Jorgen demanded to know who was responsible for it. Cosmo quickly blamed Binky and Jorgen blasted Binky in a heartbeat).
Jorgen almost obsessively cherishes Da Rules, and is willing to do anything, no matter how detrimental to his position or seemingly harmful to fairy-kind, if the rulebook says it must be done, as seen by his actions in School's Out: The Musical. However, he is known to exploit loopholes, particularly if it will cause some type of pain to someone, or to help without blatantly stating he is.
While he might seem somewhat sadistic at first, it seems more that he's exerting 'tough love', trying to toughen up the fairies (and Timmy) even if it makes him seem like a jerk. When he does actually show mercy in a situation, he'll make it seem like he's still being harsh while conjuring up an excuse for the person he's being merciful towards, as if they'd planned it all along (such as when Wanda and Cosmo were enduring an evaluation but ended up leaving to help Timmy, only to come back at the last moment).
In the Jimmy Timmy Power Hour, Jorgen attempts to stop Denzel Q. Crocker, but is turned into a schnauzer, rendering his magic useless. When the magic is restored, thanks to Jimmy Neutron, Jorgen still doesn't turn back into his normal form, however, he takes away Crocker's memory, and makes Crocker insane upon hearing the word 'schnauzer'. In the sequel, When Nerds Collide Jorgen meets and later fuses, unwillingly, with Professor Calamitous. At the end of the episode, Jorgen effortlessly stops a bomb that had everyone else terrified. Jorgen did not appear in the third Power Hour.
[edit] Trivia
- Jorgen uses a jet pack instead of wings. He also disappears and appears in (Nuclear) explosions, and has only "poofed" in once.
- Jorgen is incredibly muscular and strong. In School's Out: The Musical, he picks up many fairies and carry them in a sack. He is known to lift a lot of things with one arm or hand, and beat up all the anti-fairies after they were trapped back in Fairy World.
- Wanda and Cosmo are his best friends... which is a surprise to them. When Cosmo inquires about it, he states he doesn't have many friends: he punches them once and they take off. Regardless, he does seem to care about them despite the hard times he constantly dishes out.
- Is married to the Tooth Fairy, the love of his life, after he proposed to her with Timmy's baby tooth.
- He is the only fairy who stands on the ground instead of hovering in midair. The only time he has ever hovered in mid-air (without his jetpack) was in The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 2: When Nerds Collide when Professor Calamitous had complete control over his body and magical powers. He also hovered in mid-air (very briefly) in Fairy Idol.
- He trained Timmy when he wished to be a fairy in "A Mile in My Shoes."
- In Fairy Idol, a recurring joke involving Cosmo's obsession with string was concluded with Jorgen's apparent obsession with rope. ("It's like string, only manlier!")
- Can only laugh by seeing others in pain. He does seem to cry at touching moments though, like after listening to a love song from Wanda and Cosmo in School's Out: The Musical, or when the Tooth Fairy had dumped him.
- Although Jorgen speaks in a strong Austrian accent in the English Version, the German dub does not give his voice any sort of accent. In the German dub his name is "Jean-Claude von Ramme", a parody of action-film star Jean-Claude Van Damme.
- His favorite soap is called "All My Biceps" (an obvious parody of All My Children, starring Wanda's "somehow hotter" twin sister Blonda).
- In The Jimmy/Timmy Power Hour 2, it's revealed that one of Jorgen's pet peeves is seeing kids wish for nonsensical wishes that violate Da Rules (such as the wish for a giant rocket-propelled hot dog).
- When Timmy wished for his life to be an action movie, Jorgen was accompanied with a pink cat called Mr. Tuliptoes.
- The wishes he grants are usually a bit extreme: when Timmy had all the fairies wanting to be his godparent, he distracted Jorgen by wishing for things, one of which was a puppy. The puppy conjured was actually a dangerous attack dog. His second wish was for a giant cookie...and the dog got promptly smushed under said giant cookie.
- He has a strong dislike for Juandissimo's cooking (though it's probably because Juandissimo simply can't cook) to the point where he hatched an elaborate scheme to reunite him with Remy, on the condition that Remy be forced to endure the cooking.
- In The Zappys Jorgen has a godchild named Winston, but in other episodes he doesn't.
- He's farsighted, as he needed glasses to read Da Rules in Abra-Catastrophe!.
- He has a story book that makes what ever he reads come true. This was shown when his subordinate Binky was sick and he read him a story it happened to Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda. Its also mentioned that he's done this before and read a story called "The Wolf Who Ate Cosmo Alot", which Cosmo still has a scar from.
- Wanda's family are the only ones able to intimidate Jorgon and have done so three times (the first was Wanda, then her "Twin yet some how hotter" sister Blonda, and lastly their father Big Daddy).
- In The Jimmy/Timmy Power Hour 2, it is revealed that Jorgen thinks sourdough bread is the "lowest form of all bread," but he enjoys spicy mustard.
