Theatre Thug (Drake & Josh)

"Theater Thug" is the fourteenth episode of the third season of mh:besttvshows:Drake & Josh. It is the thirty-fourth episode of the show overall. It aired on February 18, 2006.

Plot
Josh re-enacts a criminal called the  Theatre Thug  on "FBI's Most Wanted", but ends up getting mistaken for the real Theatre Thug, gets beaten up and arrested multiple times.

Why It Should Be Arrested

 * 1) It's a 22-minute long malicious Josh torture episode.
 * 2) Josh gets beaten up and arrested throughout the entire episode because everyone thinks he's the Theatre Thug (when he pretended to be the guy).
 * 3) Almost everyone in this episode (except for Josh and Megan), even the police, are EXTREMELY unlikable in this episode, as they are so stupid and cruel towards Josh, thinking he's the Theatre Thug, when he looks nothing like him and did nothing wrong.
 * 4) Drake is no better, as he does absolutely nothing to stop Josh from getting beaten and arrested. Instead, he just stands there in the background watching his stepbrother get tortured. When Drake does try to tell the small boys to get off of Josh, a woman easily distracts him.
 * 5) On the news about the real Theater Thug, the reporter says that he is extremely violent and should not be confronted. Then why did all those people, even the police, end up assaulting Josh? Did they not really listen to the warning?
 * 6) Helen is also no better, as when Josh tells her about his problem getting arrested, she doesn't care.
 * 7) Every time Josh says he's not the guy, no one ever listens to him.
 * 8) Awful ending: Josh takes out the real Theatre Thug, only to get arrested yet again and the Theatre Thug gets away.
 * 9) A laugh track plays at every moment of Josh getting assaulted and arrested, so this episode relies on cruelty of comedy.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Like every other episode in the show, this one has some funny moments, like Drake saying "Whoa! Just take it easy, man!", the scene where Megan tried to pick a disguise for Josh and "Move the melon, the WATERmelon".
 * 2) Megan didn't do much mean-spirited stuff in this episode, so that doesn't make her too bad since she at least tried to help Josh.
 * 3) Josh is still likable, as usual.
 * 4) *Megan is surprisingly likable in this episode, as she did try to help Josh in his problem and convince everyone that he isn’t the bad guys, and outside of some mean-spirited stuff, she is not the selfish troublemaking girl she usually is.

Reception

 * Many fans of the show consider this the worst episode of the entire show due to the cruelty and stupidity of the townsfolk and police towards Josh.
