Tommy's Ride Is Calamity You Can't Let Escape

InformationEdit

Summary:

Tommy repairs Numbuh 2's old tricycle which his older brother refuses to ride because it is incredibly girly. When the bike develops a mind of its own and becomes a giant three wheeled engine of destruction, the only way for anyone to stop it is to give it what it wants: For Numbuh 2 to ride it. At the end of the episode, Numbuh 2 and Tommy switch bikes with each other. Numbuh 2 asks if he can have his other bike back but changes his mind when weapons come out of the tricycle, aiming at him.

TriviaEdit

• A reference to Cartoon Network's series "Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends" is made. Numbuh 4 shouts to what he thought was Tommy, "Hey, doofus! You're goin' the wrong way if you're lookin' for Foster's Home for Lame Bicycles!"
• When Numbuh 2 asks Tommy "What?" and Tommy replies that a Yipper marathon is "A bunch of Yipper episodes played in a row", it may be a reference to the movie "Airplane!"
