There's a huge water balloon fight at the creek but Craig is stuck at home for a family dinner - unless he can escape.


Tropes:

  • Escalating War: The water balloon fight at the creek goes from simple water balloons to water guns, water garbage bags, and ends with someone using soda instead of water.
  • Funny X-Ray: When Craig's view of his family is shown via Robo Cam, there are several improbable X-rays. Bernard has a pea-brain, Jessica's skull is shaped like her hair, and the family's steaks have entire ribcages inside them.
  • Like Father, Like Son: Craig and Duane have the exact same reaction when slipping down the porch stairs.
  • Missing the Good Stuff: Craig is eager to go help his friends at the water balloon fight, but has to find a way to get out of family dinner. By the time he finally gets to go, Kelsey and J.P. had quit the fight and come to his home.
  • Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: Craig vocalizes the scanning sound whenever he goes into Robo Cam.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Kelsey and J.P. decide to leave the water balloon fight once somebody starts substituting soda for water.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Let's just say that Duane did not approve of Craig accidentally burning the steaks and nearly the house.
    Nicole: All right, no more tiptoeing around. What's been going on? Ever since you joined that new math group, you've been so distracted.
    Duane: Distracted?! You almost burned the house down! You struggling in math? Here, I'll help. We've lost one, two, three, four, five steaks! Also, you almost burned the house down!
