Crazy Arrogant Baby Loses Every Television Viewer

InformationEdit

Summary: It starts with a scene when two adults and a small man named Mr. B. (he looks like a baby, though we can't see him yet) enter the Kid-Tacular Kids Channel company. Mr. B gets upset when everyone calls him a baby, so all the employees just say "Hello" when he walks in. The elevator goes to his office on a certain floor, where he fires his secretary, thinking she said "baby" when she actually said "Maybe." While talking to his helpers, the KND bust in, telling him to stop sending in Kid-Tacular satellites and messing up their world-wide web. Then Mr. B tricks them, by asking them to be on a television show. At first, Numbuh 4 refuses, but Numbuh 1 thought it was a great idea: He wanted to spread the KND message to the whole world. At their treehouse, the KND perform a little dance number and Numbuh 4 interrupts. He hated the cruddy capes they were wearing and left. Then Numbuh 5 left with Numbuh 2, leaving Numbuh 1 and 3 fighting a robot. Mr. B. told them he tricked them to get his hands on their satellite web and use his new device to transform adults into babies, so no one would call him baby again. Nigel tried to tell the KND, but they were tied up in a chain, with handkerchiefs on their mouths. Before the baby ray hits Nigel, he used his glasses and it reflected, hitting the camera's lens and hitting the chain, freeing the KND. They punch the robot into the ray and it turned into a toaster. Nigel unties his friends and they talk baby-ish, forcing Mr. B into the ray, turning him into a baby (he didn't change his appearance). His helpers, who are actually his parents, take him away, telling the KND they'll raise him to be nice. Nigel throws away the age-changing device, which is a cigar in disguise, out the window, which the Delightful Children From Down The Lane find.

TriviaEdit

• This is the fourth Numbuh One episode.
• The age-changing device would become a major part of the Season One finale, Operation: G.R.O.W.-U.P.
• The villain of the episode “Mr. B” is probably based after the character “Baby Herman” from the Movie “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” as the two are both babies with deep male voices and cigars (although Baby Herman's cigar is a plain cigar)
• When Numbuh one deflects the age-changing ray and frees the rest of Sector V and they try to attack Mr. B, Numbuh 2's hat changes colors.
