Trivia

The original idea with the sketch rendering of the boys was meant to be a really crude stick drawing. But then Matt and Trey thought that since the show is already rendered in such a crude fashion, it would be funnier to go the other way and have a detailed drawing of what the boys would like if they were real people.

Goofs

The whale at the sea park is named "Jambu", which is supposed to reference the famous movie whale "Shamu", but the announcer goofs once during the show and actually calls the whale "Shamu" one time. Durring the whale's last trick in the show the boys are watching, the announcer says "That's Kelly riding on SHAMU'S nose".

Funny stuff

I'm a complete animal lover and, I have to say, I was disappointed by the ending - even though I was secretly chuckling inside!

This episode sees the boys tricked into thinking a performing whale is talking to them and they go to the extreme measures of returning the whale to his apparent home on the moon!

It's one of those ridiculously unbelievable episodes which the show seems to churn out on a regular basis now, yet it does enough to make you laugh at the stereotypes on display - especially MASA!

Overall, a fairly great episode with a final set-piece that will just make you chuckle. Check it out! 8/10
