Some older millennials's minds were likely blown. We all watched enough of The Fairly OddParents growing up to appreciate the cartoon, but many viewers never pieced together that Chris voiced a character on the Nickelodeon show.

On The Fairly OddParents, Chip is a parody of popular boy band singers at the time. He's a recurring character and often sings an original song that goes along with whatever episode he's in.
