13* ADayInTheLimelight: This episode focuses on Tommy. With the exception of Numbuh 2, who only appears in the beginning, the rest of Sector V doesn't appear.
14* BaitAndSwitch: In the opening of episode, it looks like that Tommy is being chased by an enemy in a giant robot, then it turns out to be Numbuh 2 trying to get him back home to take a bath like their mother said.
15* LogoJoke: As this episode is centered on Tommy, the KND logo scene transition is a Tommy-themed logo.
16* MobySchtick: The episode is a WholePlotReference to ''Literature/MobyDick'' with a giant rubber duck in place of a whale.
17* NakedPeopleAreFunny: The RunningGag of the episode is people laughing at Tommy's nudity.
18* OrWasItADream: When the entire crew is sucked down the drain, Tommy ends up back in his bathtub, having apparently imagined the whole thing. The episode ends on a SlasherSmile from a rubber duck on the bathroom floor.
19* ThePigPen: Captain James P. Dirt. Supposedly, he ran away from home as a child after refusing to take a bath, and is encountered as an adult by Tommy, having never bathed since, leading a crew of lazy and filthy children.
20* ShoutOut: The captain and his crew of the S.S. Stinkypants are parodies of Captain Kirk and the original ''Enterprise'' crew from ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries''. The captain, whose name is Jimmy T. Dirt, even has the same speech pattern as Creator/WilliamShatner, and the red outfit he wears is much like the ones worn by the crew of the ''Enterprise'' starting with ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan''.
