At that moment, the bell rings and students (including Becca) file out of the classrooms. The towel drops and everyone laughs at him. The fact that he was holding a basketball at the time leads to jokes about Tucker's "basketballs". Another episode had him sneaking around the school in his underwear. A struggle with one of the teachers leads to the underwear being torn off and he streaks through the halls to the computer lab where his friends are. Another one of his teachers catches up with him and he ends up getting photographed by the yearbook photographer.
