* BaitAndSwitch: U.Z.Z. Headquarters is put under Lockdown when Professor Professor finds out that someone is going to steal the Secret Thing. To get in, Victor has to show Ray, one of the agents, his pass. The joke is set up so that, because of his own incompetence, Victor doesn't have his pass and he has to trick Ray into letting him by (with one of the gags being convincing Ray that their (made up) children are best friends). Then the real Victor shows up with his pass, the first Victor having actually been an Imposter, and calls Ray out on [[WhatTheHellHero being so easily tricked]].

Someone is trying to steal The Secret Thing, but who? Certainly NOT one of the main characters, even though it ''might'' appear that way at first... because the thief in question is an impostor armed with a belt that allows him to assume the form of other people so he can make his way to the Secret Thing undetected.
