Go To

To keep Dib from distracting her during an online competition, Gaz tricks him out of the house naked. While he flees the police and stumbles onto a nudist colony, she finds herself hit with karma for her actions.


  • Buxom Beauty Standard: Tak is shown to be pretty big-chested, both in her human disguise and in her true Irken form.
  • "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: It's pointed out at the end of Tak's subplot that she could have just altered her human hologram to pretend to be naked instead of actually stripping.
  • Distracted by the Sexy: Dib keeps fighting to resist this around a naked Tak.
  • Eating the Eye Candy: Dib can't help but stare when seeing Tak naked, in both her forms.
  • Evil Is Petty: Tak decides to blow up the hippies just because they annoy her.
  • Green-Skinned Space Babe: Upon seeing Tak naked in her true Irken form, Dib is surprised to find that she's just as busty and curvy as in her human disguise. A part of him wonders if he should find her more attractive this way.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: Happens to both Tak and Gaz:
    • The rocket Tak intends to blow up the nudist commune ends up incinerating her clothes instead, leaving her to humiliate herself by asking Tenn to come pick her up.
    • Gaz's attempt to take money from her father's safe (in order to buy her way back into the competition) leads to her being tossed naked out of the house by his security system, where she's arrested by the police she called on Dib earlier.
  • Lady Looks Like a Dude: When the cops arrest Gaz after she's tossed out of the house, they assume she's the streaker they were called on earlier, deciding she was mistaken for a boy from a distance due to her flat chest.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Gaz locks Dib out of the house naked and calls the police on him for streaking. Later, the security system in Membrane's lab strips her as part of a decontamination procedure and then tosses her out of the house, where the cops she called arrest her. And there's also the fact that she only did this in the first place so Dib wouldn't distract her during an online trivia contest; the subject turns out to be the supernatural, which she has little active knowledge of. She even lampshades the irony of this.
  • Naked People Are Funny:
    • Gaz tricks Dib into running out of the house with only a Modesty Towel, which he loses in the process of running away from an angry dog. And then he ends up coming across a hippie nudist commune, where he runs into Tak, who is investigating the place.
    • Meanwhile, circumstances end up leading Gaz to ending up outside of the house naked as well.
  • Naked People Trapped Outside: Gaz pulls this on Dib, tricking him into running out of the shower and then the house with nothing but a Modesty Towel, and then locking him out. Later, circumstances lead to her ending up in the same position.
  • Non-Mammal Mammaries: Discussed, as Dib sees Tak naked in her natural Irken form, and the part of his mind not distracted by arousal questions why an Insectoid Alien would have breasts.
  • Ultra Super Death Gore Fest Chainsawer 3000: The game Gaz is trying to win is called Gore of War 3: The Bloodening, which was cancelled during development for being too over-the-top violent.
