InformationEdit

Summary: Sector V infiltrates a villain barbecue but had to escape to the M.E.G.A.R.A.G.E. when they realize there were too many villains to handle. They are pursued and eventually shot down by Sickybeard and his crew, and find that the sea they crash land in is made of asparagus. After most of Sector V is eaten by the Great White Asparagus, Stickybeard takes it down and saves Sector V's members, stating he wouldn't let a "blasted vegetable do anyone in."

TriviaEdit

• This is the second Stickybeard episode, the next being Operation: T.R.I.C.K.Y. Stickybeard also cameos in Operation: U.T.O.P.I.A. between the two episodes.
• This episode is a parody of Jaws and Open Water.
• Numbuh 5 was the only operative of Sector V not to be eaten by the Great White Asparagus. she almost drowned.
• The other operatives were eaten as follows:
  • Numbuh 2 was eaten first, while trying to repair the engines (which were full of bubble gum)
  • Numbuh 3 was then eaten. She had been distracted by Numbuh 4, who had gone crazy from hunger and believed her Rainbow Monkey was a cheeseburger; the Asparagus snuck up behind her, which she didn't see until it ate her
  • Numbuh 1 was standing on the remaining surfaced area of the ship, and calling out to Numbuh 4, who was trying to reach the 'cheeseburger' in the middle of the ocean. The Asparagus came up from below him and ate him, along with about half of the remaining ship.
  • Numbuh 4 was chaseing the cheeseburger rainbow monkey then drowns underwater and got eaten by the Asparagus
• Numbuh 4's real eye color is mostly unseen, but its likely that his real eye color is green, like his mom's eyes. It has also been seen in Operation: D.O.D.G.E.B.A.L.L. and Operation: M.I.S.S.I.O.N.
• Stickybeard actually acted as an ally at the end of the episode, but made Numbuh 5 promise not to tell the other villains, or else "they won't invite [him] to the next villain's BBQ"
