Storyline

In this - by out-of-character stepping Phil Hartman introduced - Titanic spoof, Dave is the captain of the ship who warns the crew for icebergs but gets jeered. Nevertheless, he tells sailor Matthew to be on the look-out for icebergs. Bill is a bourgeois passenger who doesn't want the riff-raff from third class to be on the same deck as the elite. Joe is the mechanic and Lisa is the beautiful young, stylish woman who's wooed by Walt. Written by Marco van Hoof <k_luifje7@hotmail.com>

Trivia

When Dave speaks into the system communicator to Joe and Joe asks whom it is and Dave replies it is himself, Joe says, "Dave's not here, man"; this is a quote from a famous Cheech And Chong skit. See more »

Goofs

Joe says he's come up with an idea to detect objects far away, which he calls Radar, but the idea of Radar was already invented in 1904, years before the 1912 sinking of the HMS Titanic. See more »

Quotes

Dave: Matthew, you're not going to find any icebergs with your nose buried in that nefarious scandal sheet.
Matthew Brock: Aw, gee whiz!
Dave: Matthew! What have I told you about swearing on this vessel? I will not have it.
Matthew Brock: Darn.
Dave: Matthew!
Matthew Brock: Shucks!
Dave: Well, I never!
