Dirty Unwashed Captain's Kowardly Yacht

Information

Summary: Tommy refuses to take a bath, until he goes down the drain (literally)! He meets Captain Jimmy, a parody of Captain Kirk in Star Trek, who is the high-strung leader of the crew of a ship called the S.S. Stinkypants. Tommy gets inevitably involved in a battle with Moby Duck, which ends with the crew hiding from the giant bird in bubble fog. The team attacks Moby Duck after hearing an inspired speech by Tommy, but the plan goes overboard and Tommy and Captain Dirt learns why it's usually a good idea to listen to your parents!

Trivia

• This is a parody of Moby Dick.
• Many parts of the episode are obvious references to Star Trek, such as one of the boys being named Dr. McCoy, and Captain Dirt's speech pattern referencing James T. Kirk.
• A running gag in the episode was Tommy's buttocks being exposed, which led to Captain Dirt's crew laughing at him whenever he raised his cape in front of them.
• When Numbuh 2 catches a naked Tommy in the middle of a crowded football stadium, a blimp's marquee displays the words "nice butt" and the crowd and the cheerleaders chant "TAKE A BATH! TAKE A BATH!"
