00:00I was eight years old, and I was at my first baseball game, right?
00:03So all I wanted was a foam finger.
00:05Welcome to Mia's Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks
00:10for the Drake and Josh moments that made us laugh, smile,
00:14shake our heads, or all of the above.
00:17For those of you who've never watched this 2000s Nickelodeon series,
00:21there will be spoilers.
00:23Whoa, just take it easy, man.
00:25Number 20, don't drink while I'm talking.
00:31Eric punches Drake.
00:33Crazy Steve empathetically opens up to Josh about his oh-so-unsurprising
00:39anger problem.
00:40Well, you know, I also struggle with an anger problem.
00:44Oh.
00:46What follows is hysterical.
00:48The delivery of this line as Crazy Steve is ironically squeezing
00:52his stress ball is absolutely on the money.
00:55The tone, the volume, and even the lean into Josh's ear
00:59make for a hilarious moment.
01:01Don't drink while I'm talking!
01:03Josh's startled reaction in which he spits out his drink
01:07enhances our chances of laughing even more.
01:10To top it all off, Crazy Steve resumes his stress ball squeezing,
01:14this time much faster and more aggressive.
01:18Maybe Josh should just save the drink for after their conversation next time.
01:23I am angry.
01:24I think Mindy's over there with her new boyfriend rubbing him right in my face.
01:28Number 19, the power saw, Treehouse.
01:31To say Drake has his fair share of brainless moments would be an understatement.
01:36Skybuster 5000.
01:39Model rocket soars up to 300 feet in the air.
01:42Whee!
01:43One of them comes as the stepbrothers are rebuilding
01:46their kid-neighbour Robbie's treehouse,
01:48which of course they were responsible for destroying.
01:52Besides just doing what's morally right,
01:54Drake and Josh have an extra incentive.
01:57Complete the treehouse, and they get to go on a double date
02:00with two twin girls.
02:02We have dates tomorrow with hot twins.
02:04But things don't quite work out.
02:06Just as they think they're all done,
02:09they find themselves trapped thanks to Drake's mishap.
02:12Drake?
02:14What?
02:15Where's the door hole?
02:16The magic marker drawing looks good,
02:19but the power saw, Drake.
02:20The power saw!
02:22It takes him a moment to realise the problem,
02:25and Josh's facial expression says it all.
02:28I see the problem.
02:29Oh, do ya?
02:30Number 18, the banana, Steered Straight.
02:34When Drake and Josh get caught with fake IDs,
02:36instead of getting arrested, they get something else.
02:39Their parents decide to put them in the Steered Straight programme,
02:43which is designed to show kids and teens
02:45what it's like to actually get arrested.
02:48Well, if you really want to make an impression on them,
02:50our department does have a Steered Straight programme.
02:53Everything goes awry when the police car gets stolen
02:56by a criminal named Blaze.
02:58Drake and Josh, terrified, try to blend in,
03:01acting like criminals.
03:03Their names now are Jefferson and Alvin.
03:06So who are you guys?
03:08Well, I'm a, uh,
03:10Jefferson Steelflex.
03:14Alvin Yakatori.
03:17Later in the episode, in an attempt to scare Blaze
03:20and his criminal crew away,
03:22the stepbrothers come up with a deceiving plan.
03:25Nothing in this episode is more memorable
03:28than the banana scene.
03:30Blaze's reaction to Drake beating Josh with a banana
03:33is absolutely hysterical.
03:36Don't beat that boy with a banana!
03:42Number 17, The Enchilada, Really Big Shrimp.
03:46Do not, under any circumstances, take another man's enchilada.
03:51That's Crazy Steve's enchilada.
03:56What?
03:57Especially if that man is Crazy Steve.
04:01But surprisingly, Crazy Steve doesn't let out his anger right away.
04:05His psychologist has a plan for him.
04:07When that watch beeps,
04:09it's time for him to unleash his anger toward Josh,
04:12a.k.a. the enchilada thief.
04:14Normally, yes, I would flip out.
04:16But my psychologist worked out a plan
04:19where I'm only allowed to get angry four times each day.
04:21Of course, he does so in classic Crazy Steve fashion.
04:25Just look at him chasing Josh around the movie theater.
04:29That seems like a healthy, safe work environment.
04:32It's even funnier that you could tell Josh knew it was coming.
04:41To be fair to Crazy Steve, though,
04:43it was the watch that told him to let his anger out.
04:46And you can't fault him.
04:48That was, without a question, his enchilada.
04:52Number 16, The Delivery Guy, Treehouse.
04:56Have a good day is a nice thing to say,
04:59but the packaged delivery guy to whom Josh says this
05:02is clearly not having it.
05:09This is silly, yet ultimately effective humour.
05:13And it's a fascinating scene from a linguistic perspective.
05:17Josh is technically making a command
05:20that the delivery guy has a good day,
05:22essentially telling him what to do,
05:24just as the delivery guy suggests.
05:28Obviously, it's a super rude response, but it's hilarious.
05:32Josh's reaction is one of pure puzzlement.
05:35Understandably so.
05:36How are you supposed to react in that situation?
05:39Number 15, Crazy Steve Watches Dora, The Storm.
05:44Just like many aspects of life,
05:46when it comes to watching Dora the Explorer,
05:48Crazy Steve doesn't mess around.
05:55This scene is awesome for several reasons.
05:57First of all, Crazy Steve is really rooting hard
06:00for Dora to get the job done.
06:07He is absolutely locked in.
06:09He refuses to let Craig take a break
06:12from cranking the hand-powered TV.
06:15Also, we love that Crazy Steve speaks Spanish here
06:18on multiple occasions.
06:20Come on, Dora! It's right over there!
06:22¡Obre los ojos! Come on!
06:25He uses his typical loud voice to implore Dora to use her map.
06:30He even takes a shot at her Explorer title.
06:33Classic Crazy Steve.
06:35Come on, Dora! ¡Andale, andale!
06:38¡Más rápido!
06:40You call yourself an Explorer?
06:43Number 14, The Sushi Conveyor Belt.
06:46I love sushi.
06:47After Drake and Josh land jobs at a sushi factory,
06:50they're pushed to the limits with a quick-moving conveyor belt
06:53and a demanding boss.
06:55Here is where we package the sushi.
06:57When that green light goes on,
06:58the sushi will move across the conveyor belt
07:00from here to there.
07:01The way they handle it is, well, not ideal.
07:04The stepbrothers scoff at how easily it'll be to box sushi.
07:08Putting sushi in a box, how easy is this?
07:10This sets up a priceless ensuing turn of events.
07:15While starting off slow, the conveyor belt picks up speed.
07:18Drake and Josh start panicking before finding a comical way
07:22to make sure those sushi rolls don't pass all the way through.
07:26Then the boss decides to challenge them even more.
07:29You boys are doing a fine job.
07:34¡Speed it up a little!
07:36The rest of the scene is total chaos.
07:40Number 13, The Demonator
07:44There's no rollercoaster quite like The Demonator.
07:48That's why Drake and Josh must ride it.
07:51That it's the fastest, the scariest, most intense,
07:53most dangerous rollercoaster in the world.
07:56And we are gonna ride it tomorrow, the first day it opens.
07:59They even prepare for the moment of a lifetime
08:02by simulating the ride in their room.
08:04But there's an issue.
08:05They're in a time crunch.
08:07After Drake's surprising mathematical calculation,
08:10they realise they can wait in line, go on the ride
08:13and get home before their parents.
08:16It's been 17 minutes since we were at the sign
08:18that said two hours from this point.
08:20You figure an hour and 43 minutes for the line,
08:22six minutes to ride The Demonator,
08:2313 minutes to find the car and 22 minutes to drive home.
08:25That puts us at the front door at exactly 10.58,
08:28which is two minutes before mom and dad said they'd be home.
08:30It's the aftermath of this ride that's even more memorable.
08:34When they emerge, Drake and Josh's faces
08:36along with their messy hair,
08:38make it look as though they've been possessed.
08:40The conversation that comes with it is pretty funny as well.
08:44It seems like The Demonator lived up to the hype.
08:48It's better than love.
08:50It's better than girls.
08:52Okay, don't get crazy.
08:54Number 12, The Dance Contest.
08:57Dance Contest.
08:58When Drake and Josh appear on the living room TV screen
09:01as participants in a dance contest,
09:04their mom and Megan cannot believe their eyes.
09:07Oh my God.
09:10The stepbrothers go on to absolutely smash it.
09:14Who knew the boys had those types of moves?
09:17What makes this scene even more awesome
09:19is the fact that originally Drake and Josh
09:21were going to each have different dance partners.
09:24When their partners get disqualified,
09:27the stepbros decide to join forces.
09:30Please give it up for the dancing team of
09:32Drake Parker and Josh Nichols.
09:36This iconic dance rightfully earns enthusiastic cheers
09:40from the audience.
09:41In the end, Drake and Josh are announced
09:43as the winners of the contest.
09:45Drake Parker and Josh Nichols.
09:50Their mom and Megan, in hilarious fashion,
09:53show that they can't believe what they just witnessed.
09:56Number 11, The First Hug Me Brother Pilots.
10:00Drake doesn't take the announcement
10:02that his mom and Walter are getting married all that well.
10:06We're getting married!
10:08Oh, oh.
10:10We're getting married.
10:13The idea of Josh becoming his stepbrother
10:15doesn't seem to sit too well with him.
10:17Just look at his facial expression.
10:20But Josh's reaction shows that he's ready for this.
10:23Hug me brother!
10:26And it's legendary.
10:28This line goes on to become a staple catchphrase
10:31that comes up on multiple occasions
10:33throughout the rest of the series.
10:36Hug me brother!
10:38This particular instance starts it all
10:41and is the beginning of all the memorable moments
10:44that follow during Drake and Josh's lives as stepbrothers.
10:48Number 10, The Twitch Blues Brothers.
10:51I'm gonna be on TV in two hours,
10:53and I want my forecast to be up to the minute.
10:55Josh gets the chance to appear as a junior anchor
10:58on his dad's weather forecast.
11:00Unfortunately, a jealous Megan decides that if she can't be on TV,
11:04she'll just ruin his chance.
11:06I'm not scared at all.
11:08Well, I sure would be if I knew millions of people
11:11would be watching me on live TV.
11:14That's pressure.
11:16She psychs him out by reminding him
11:18of how he used to twitch when he got scared.
11:21Well, I'm sure you'll be fine.
11:23Unless your twitch comes back.
11:26What twitch?
11:28Remember the fourth grade, Josh? The twitch?
11:31The big broadcast goes well at first
11:34until Megan's words echo through Josh's head
11:37and he starts twitching uncontrollably on national TV.
11:42Oh!
11:44Oh!
11:52How great is this?
11:54Admittedly, Josh's twitching is kind of funny to watch
11:58because of how his actor really sells it.
12:01But it's not as fun watching him become a laughingstock
12:04too embarrassed to go out in public again,
12:07all thanks to one unbelievably evil little girl.
12:12It seems my anti-perspirant has failed.
12:18Number nine, Megan saves the day.
12:21The Gary Grill.
12:22We're supposed to meet the grill guys at the premiere in an hour,
12:25so tell Mom and Dad that-
12:26Wait!
12:27What?
12:28Do ponies lay eggs?
12:30Yes, you heard that right.
12:32Megan Parker, Drake and Josh's evil little sister,
12:36actually saved her boobish brothers for once.
12:39When the boys are arrested for possessing and selling
12:42stolen Gary Coleman grills,
12:44Josh pleads to Megan to catch the crooks who really stole the grills.
12:48Wearing a wire, Megan teams up with the FBI
12:52and tricks the real bandits into revealing their whole scheme.
12:56And how can we help you?
12:58I want to sell grills.
13:02What are you talking about?
13:03She could have easily just ignored her brothers
13:06and let them rot away in jail,
13:08but she took the time and effort to prove their innocence,
13:11showing that she does care for them in some way.
13:15That, and it's always refreshing to see her manipulate for good for once.
13:19Too bad it rarely happens again.
13:22Oh, okay.
13:24That's all I needed to hear.
13:26Gentlemen, Buddy, Guy, meet the FBI.
13:30FBI, meet Buddy and Guy.
13:32You set us up!
13:33Yeah, I did.
13:34Number eight, trapped on the side of the road.
13:37The wedding.
13:38Something's not right about Aunt Catherine.
13:41She collects hair.
13:44From people she doesn't even know well.
13:47Oh, and get this.
13:48Aunt Catherine's getting married.
13:51Drake and Josh have been tasked with bringing the cake
13:54to their horrible great-aunt's wedding.
13:56Can we just go?
13:57Why are you in such a hurry?
13:59Because I want Aunt Catherine's beach house bad.
14:01Yeah, so do I.
14:03Well, then we can't be late for the wedding,
14:04and we have to pick up the cake.
14:06They're forced to borrow a run-down car,
14:08which breaks down on the side of the road, stranding them.
14:11And that's just the beginning.
14:13For the rest of the night, the two end up bruised, robbed,
14:17locked out of their car,
14:19and abandoned by an insulted tow truck driver.
14:22You can rot in a sack for all I care.
14:24Goodbye.
14:26No, no, no, no, no, no, please, wait, don't leave.
14:29To top it off, when it seems like they've finally caught a break,
14:32the car catches fire and the two can only walk away,
14:36completely done with this whole episode.
14:39Murphy's Law states that anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
14:44Needless to say that said law was working overtime
14:47for the boys that night.
14:55Number seven, Josh is done.
14:57Josh is done.
14:58Uh, 24 minutes until I have to get to class.
15:01If I take my bike, I should be able to get there.
15:03You can't ride your bike.
15:04Why?
15:05Drake ran over it last night.
15:06Oh, come on!
15:09Drake and Josh's brotherhood has always been complicated at best.
15:13But when Drake causes him to miss a super important exam,
15:17Josh has had enough.
15:19He cuts Drake out of his life and wants nothing more to do with him.
15:23Dude, it's been like five days.
15:24When are you going to stop being mad at me?
15:26I told you I'm not mad at you.
15:28I'm done with you.
15:29Josh.
15:30Drake shrugs it off, claiming that without him, Josh is nothing.
15:34But Josh's life actually seems to get better
15:37while Drake's falls apart.
15:39Come on, without me, Josh's life would totally fall apart.
15:42I don't know.
15:44What do you think about that, Will?
15:47Will's not so sure.
15:48This ultimately leads to the series' most emotional scene
15:52where Drake breaks down, apologizes,
15:54and admits that he needs Josh way more than Josh needs him.
15:58I was wrong, okay? I was wrong.
16:00What do you mean?
16:01I need you more than you need me.
16:03I need you way more than you need me, alright? I'm sorry.
16:06Fortunately, this story has a happy ending
16:09where the boys reconcile,
16:11showing that even if Josh is better off without Drake,
16:14it's hard to keep their bond broken for too long.
16:21Number 6, Soul Man performance, Blues Brothers
16:25Why are you hiding back here?
16:27I'm afraid.
16:31Afraid of what?
16:32People.
16:33While Josh is dealing with his twitching embarrassment,
16:36Drake is preparing his band for the talent show.
16:39He's almost guaranteed to win again,
16:42but a rival acapella group steals the song he planned to perform.
16:47Thankfully, Drake has a backup plan
16:50that's sure to help him win
16:52and help Josh overcome his stage fright.
16:55I know exactly what we're going to play.
16:57What?
16:58Something cool.
16:59I need my mom.
17:00The stepbrothers don matching Blues Brothers suits
17:04and put on a full-blown performance of Soul Man.
17:09Not only does the plan succeed,
17:11but it's also an amazing tribute
17:13to the legendary SNL musical-comedy duo
17:16brought to life by one of Nickelodeon's most famous duos.
17:20From the energetic dancing
17:22to the perfectly recreated jazz music
17:25topped off by a performance of Soul Man,
17:28it's an amazing tribute to the legendary band.
17:31It's a tribute to the legendary band.
17:33It's a tribute to the legendary band.
17:35Perfectly recreated jazz music
17:37topped off with an amazing harmonica solo.
17:48Number 5, Josh's birthday present.
17:51Josh runs into Oprah.
17:53Wait, wait, wait, Drake.
17:54What?
17:55Isn't there something you want to say to me?
17:57Yeah, you have a little dry drool on your chin there.
18:03You forgot my birthday.
18:04So far, Josh's birthday has not been going so well.
18:08Not only did Drake forget his only brother's big day,
18:12but he throws a party for another one of his many, many,
18:16many girlfriends that he's only known for a few days.
18:20Things are getting pretty serious between me and her.
18:22You've been dating her since Tuesday.
18:25I know.
18:26Fortunately, Drake makes up for it in a big way.
18:29He gets Josh tickets and backstage passes
18:32to his idol, Oprah Winfrey.
18:35And Josh spontaneously kisses Drake in appreciation.
18:38Ah!
18:42Do you love me again?
18:43Love you.
18:46Apparently, it was scripted that Josh only
18:49kisses Drake on the cheek, as they've done in the past.
18:52But Josh decided to go all out and went straight for the lips.
18:56And it paid off hilariously, making Drake's shocked reaction
19:01look more natural.
19:03Okay, this is so going on the internet.
19:07Number four, the bet. The bet.
19:10We had this contest to see who could hold their breath longer.
19:13After two minutes, I won, I lost. Consciousness.
19:18When it comes to siblings getting competitive,
19:21Drake and Josh take it to humorous new levels.
19:24As demonstrated here, the two make a bet to see
19:27who can last longer without their respective addictions.
19:31Drake's being junk food and Josh's being video games.
19:35I can quit video games a lot easier than you could quit junk food.
19:38Oh, really?
19:40Smell that, Josh? Smells like a bet to me.
19:44No, I smell you losing a bet.
19:49Unfortunately, the temptation to fall back into their habits
19:53is too strong, especially when Josh gets a new game sphere.
19:57I mean, come on, it's spherical.
19:59And it's spherical. Spherical.
20:03So they both try to break the other first,
20:06only to both cave at the same time.
20:10It's impossible to tell which is more priceless,
20:13watching the boys nearly crack trying to ditch their addictions,
20:17or seeing them simultaneously fail
20:20and endure the hysterically funny consequences.
20:23Let's just say both.
20:26Okay, I was wrong.
20:28This is the best day of my life.
20:30Number three, pip-pip-da-doodly-doo.
20:34Megan's first kiss.
20:35Why don't I meet you by the... Bye.
20:38Who were you on the phone with?
20:39I wasn't on the phone.
20:40Yeah, you were. We saw you.
20:42Megan has been acting suspicious lately,
20:45and the boys are determined to find out
20:47what diabolical act she's planning this time.
20:51All I know is when Megan sneaks around, badness is a-coming.
20:55We need to find out what's going on with her.
20:57Yeah, well, we're gonna find out.
20:59They disguise themselves as two loud Jewish Irishmen,
21:03with the most exaggerated accents ever imagined.
21:07Come along, Pontiac.
21:08Yes, let's go observe them, I'll bury my sheep.
21:11Pip-pip-da-doodly-doo.
21:12When they find out that Megan is on a date,
21:15they do whatever they can to keep the two young teens from kissing.
21:19Unsurprisingly, they get caught.
21:22Kind of hard to miss two over-the-top boobs
21:25dressed in ridiculous disguises.
21:27These two freaks just tried to steal my popcorn
21:29and then sat on my girlfriend.
21:31Ah, she's too young to be having a boyfriend.
21:33She's just a wee lass.
21:35Wee!
21:36While not the most culturally sensitive cover-up,
21:39it's hard not to laugh as Drake and Josh
21:41hammered up while going undercover.
21:44And it's sweet to see them so protective
21:46of their normally evil little sister.
21:49Yeah, I don't know how I feel about this.
21:51Come on, come on, there's 13 except...
21:53What is he doing?
21:57Breath spray?
21:59Lip balm?
22:01Unfortunately, they only end up ruining her date.
22:05Pip-pip.
22:07Doodly-doo.
22:10Number two, Josh meets Oprah.
22:13Josh runs into Oprah.
22:15Think I might actually get to speak to Oprah?
22:18Maybe.
22:19Oh, I can't stand it!
22:21We all know how much Josh loves Oprah,
22:25so getting to see her show on his birthday
22:28is like a dream come true.
22:30Unfortunately, it quickly turns into a nightmare
22:33when he accidentally hits her with his car.
22:37I'm over here!
22:39I'm mad over Oprah!
22:42What's even worse is that he can't even get near her
22:45to apologize without getting tased by mean security guards
22:49or dragged off to a chemical bath, thanks to Drake.
22:53Wait, Draco!
22:54We gotta dip that man in a chemical bath, stat!
22:56Chemical bath?
22:57Stat!
22:58What?
22:58In the end, Oprah sends Josh a restraining order,
23:02meaning that he isn't allowed anywhere near
23:05his most beloved celebrity.
23:07Poor Josh can't seem to catch a break sometimes.
23:11But on the plus side, he technically got Oprah's autograph,
23:15so some good came out of this.
23:17Oprah Winfrey!
23:21She signed it!
23:22Yep.
23:23I got an autograph from Oprah!

23:41Number 1, The Foam Finger Fight, Foam Finger
23:46I did not steal your foam finger, okay?
23:48I just happened to buy the last one.
23:50It's not my fault they ran out.
23:51Yeah, it was your fault, and I'll never forget it.
23:54It turns out that Drake and Josh knew each other
23:57longer than they realized.
23:59When they were both eight years old,
24:01they met at a baseball game and got into a fight
24:04over a misunderstanding caused by a foam finger.
24:08It's been eight years.
24:10Since what?
24:11Since some rotten kid started a fight with me
24:13when I was trying to buy a foam finger.
24:15You were eight years old. Let it go.
24:17Hey, Drake, didn't you get into a fight
24:20with some boy at a Padres game when you were little?
24:22Yeah, remember that little dorky kid freaked out
24:25when I bought the last foam finger?
24:29Years later, the bitter memories of their first scuffle return,
24:33and both brothers accuse each other of starting that fight.
24:37It turns out that it was actually baby Megan
24:41who caused their brawl.
24:42Why doesn't that surprise us?
24:44It was Megan who started the fight.
24:46That's right. She threw the cookie.
24:48Wow, I was even cool then.
24:50In a weird way, their very first scuffle
24:53set the bar for their dynamic years later.
24:56They'll tussle it out and drive each other crazy,
24:59but it makes it all the more worth it
25:01when they make up in the end.
25:03Like the brothers, they really are.
25:05Is it cool if I move back in?
25:07Get in here.
25:09Look, I'm really sorry.
25:11Just don't even say it.
25:13We both acted kind of stupid.
25:15Yeah.
25:16Let us know in the comments
