Eccentric billionaire Dick Chateau hires Beef, who brings his kids and his brother Brian along, to pilot his super yacht so he can attend his brother's wedding, only to discover he plans to ruin it. Meanwhile, when Wolf is worried that Honeybee might be bored with him, he meets a stranger who he thinks might be him from the future, so he and Honeybee follow the stranger around to see if it's really him.


Tropes:

  • Acquired Situational Narcissism: Played for laughs. Judy, Ham, and Moon all transform into exaggeratedly spoiled poseurs after pampering themselves with the luxuries aboard Dick's yacht. By the time they reach the wedding, they're acting like getting custom pastel suits from a "tuxedo dispenser" is old and boring to them.
  • Cain and Abel: Rick turns out to be a much worse person than Dick.
  • Cool Boat: Dick's yacht, the Floating Dick, which is decked out with multiple amenities, including a tuxedo dispenser, a bowling alley and several "cocaine decks". Even Beef is impressed, at least by how well it steers.
  • Couch Gag:
    • The boat in the opening says "The One Who Smelt It".
    • Wolf's T-Shirt says "Please Welcome My Next Gas".
  • A Dick in Name: Played With and Lampshaded. Both of the Chateau brothers are named Richard, but respectively go by Dick and Rick. Beef and Brian point out the irony in the one who doesn't go by Dick being the bigger dick.
  • A Family Affair: Dick's wife, Tatyana, cheated on him by doing the "German Squirmin'" with his brother Rick in front on him in a car on a roller coaster.
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: The yeti can be spotted sitting on the docks with its feet in the water when Wolf and Honeybee are following Wolf's "looper" who's about to go fishing.
  • Identical Stranger: When Wolf gets help from a stranger that looks like him, he thinks he might be him from the future, so he and Honeybee follow him around to see if it's true. It's not him from the future and Honeybee already knew that and only went with Wolf's idea just to humor him. When they see the stranger naked, they definitely know it's not Wolf from the future.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Rick Chateau acts genial at first, but it's just an act. He orchestrated the entire wedding to hurt his brother by marrying his ex-wife. Rick sadistically reveals it right as Dick starts apologizing for ever intending to screw with the wedding, rubbing salt in the wound.
  • Sexual Euphemism: Dick calls Rick and Tatyana having sex as the "German Squirmin'"; two other names he has for it are the "Norwegian Squeezin'" and the "French Stench".
  • Shout-Out: Wolf is a big fan of the movie Looper, so when a stranger starts giving him advice, he assumes it's himself from the future, i.e., his "looper".
  • Thousand-Yard Stare: After Rick reveals he invited Dick just to reveal he's marrying his ex-wife and they both kiss, Dick is so distraught that he has this stare and the rest of the Tobins have to carry him away so he doesn't have to see this.
  • Trick Bomb: Dick plans to ruin Rick's wedding by launching bat bombs during the ceremony. He doesn't launch them at first after Beef talked him out of ruining his brother's wedding, but when his brother reveals he's marrying Dick's ex-wife just to mess with him, he launches the bombs for real, ruining his wedding.

♫ Tell me what you need
I got gels, mousse, pastes, and pomades
Got Devon's Hair Suace, that'll last for days
You want Gel By Jan? Hair Butter By Brad?
Maybe Side Part Fudge for you or your dad
Are you a gel-ous guy? A musky mousse?
Need a paste of honey? Cause the mousse is loose!
Oh, gel, gel, gel, what do we have hair?
Here's a little dome grease for that bald spot there
I got hair, gravy, extra hold
An old tube of perm paste that's, like, way too old
You can be a spruce mousse, or a dirty gel daddy
Me, myself, I'm a full body baddie
I got it all. ♫

Bat Bombs

Dick plans to ruin Rick's wedding by launching bombs filled with live bats inside during the wedding ceremony because Rick hates bats. He doesn't launch them at first after Beef talked him out it, but when Rick reveals he's marrying Dick's ex-wife just to hurt him, he launched the bombs for real.

How well does it match the trope?
