Now loading recap for Operation B.U.T.T.:
- BlackmailUncoversTitanicTush
The DCFDTL separates Numbuh 1 from his swim trunks and gets photos of his disproportionately huge buttocks. They blackmail him with them.
Now Loading Tropes:
- Actually Pretty Funny: Sector V ends up in fits of giggles when they see the photo of Nigel's butt, with them actually laughing at Numbuh Two's jokes for once. This is especially the case with Abby, who tries her best to remain serious among all the jokes at Numbuh 1's expense.
- Big Damn Heroes: Just as the Delightful Children are about to get pictures of Numbuh 1's Goofy Print Underwear on top of the photos of his butt, the rest of Sector V burst in and rip off the Delightful Children's own undergarments, sparing their friend from anymore humiliation.
- Butt-Monkey: Pun-intended, Numbuh 1 does not get a break in this episode.
- Comedic Underwear Exposure: One of the robo-crabs manages to tear off Numbuh 1's shorts, revealing his Rainbow Monkey-print underwear. The Delightful Children find them almost as funny as his naked butt.
- Cry Laughing: Numbuh 3 is bawling with tears when Numbuh 1 leaves. When Numbuh 4 shows her the photograph she starts giggling through her tears and ends up doubled over with laughter.
- Didn't Think This Through: Numbuh 4 tries to use a stuffed animal to cheer up Numbuh 3.Numbuh 4: [affecting a voice] Don't cry, little girl. Mr. Flopsywopsapus wants you to turn that frown upside down or, uh, or he might leave. [normal voice] Oh, wait...
[Numbuh 3 starts bawling again] - Dramatic Irony: What finally causes Abby to openly laugh over the photo is a quip from Numbuh 2, whose jokes and one-liners are routinely dismissed as infamously bad.
- Hand-or-Object Underwear:
- After losing his trunks, Numbuh 1 has to spend the rest of the day covering his crotch with his hands on the back to the treehouse, along with other objects.
- Once the Delightful Children lose the clothes off their lower halves to Sector V, they're forced to run off in shame as they cover their pelvic areas with their hands while their robo-crabs take pictures of them.
- Hurricane of Puns: Numbuh 2 engages in this. It may quite possibly be the only time the team have found it funny.
- Hypocritical Humor: Numbuh 2 laughing at Numbuh 1 for his big butt, even though Hoagie is the fattest of the five and so would have a much bigger butt than Nigel does.
- Inelegant Blubbering: Along with Ocular Gushers as usual, Numbuh 3 is a sobbing, incoherent mess when it finally sunk in to her that Numbuh 1 has quit the team.
- Joke of the Butt: The entire episode pokes fun at Nigel's giant gluteus maximus, so to speak.
- Laser-Guided Karma: After spending the episode holding the pictures of Nigel's own naked pictures over him, the Delightful Children get a taste of their own medicine when Sector V rips off their undergarments, with both Numbuh 5 and their own crab robots snapping photos.
- Misspelling Out Loud: Numbuh 4 spells 'gone' as J-A-W-N.
- Naked People Trapped Outside: Numbuh 1, at a beach no less.
- Not So Above It All: Numbuh 5 points out that the situation isn't really that funny and that they need to save Numbuh 1. Numbuh 2 agrees, making puns about bottoms all the while. Numbuh 5 at first tries to get them to settle down but eventually starts laughing too.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Numbuh 4 is so devastated over Numbuh 1 quitting to the point of openly tearing up. He also gets so annoyed over Numbuh 3 being slow on the uptake that he outright calls her a dolt and screams at her. After making her cry, he tries to cheer her up by bringing Numbuh 3 her stuffed animals that he dislikes so much.
- Revenge Porn Blackmail: The basic plot of the episode.
- Shout-Out: Upon confronting the DCFDTL, Nigel can only say, "You're despicable."
- Spoof Aesop: After spending the episode getting chased by robot crabs controlled by the DCFDTL that attempt to rip off his pants and take pictures of his butt/underwear, before threatening to post the photos in the yearbook, Numbuh 1 comes to the conclusion that he should spend more time having fun with his friends (purely based off of his former dislike for the beach), and that he should chain his swim trunks to himself while swimming.
- The Stinger: We finally get to see Numbuh 1's butt photo.
- A Taste Of His Own Medicine: Pulled on by the DCFDTL regarding the underwear or butt photo exposure at the end of the episode when Sector V rips their pants/skirts off before snapping a picture.
- Throw the Dog a Bone: Numbuh 2 is actually able to get a couple of laughs from his teammates when tells his jokes and puns, even Numbuh 5.
