Pirates Invade Repository And Treats Extracted

"Operation: P.I.R.A.T.E." is the first story in the fourth episode of the first season of Codename: Kids Next Door.

It marks the debut of Captain Stickybeard and his Candy Pirate crew.

The episode premiered on Cartoon Network in the United States on Friday, December 20, 2002.

Information[]

Summary[]

Captain Stickybeard and his Candy Pirate crew steal Sector V's candy, including Numbuh 5's secret stash. Numbuh 5 does not want her candy stash to be taken, so she boards Stickybeard's pirate ship to retrieve it. The KND have to rescue her and the candy too.

Plot[]

Sweet Revenge Panorama

The ship

A pirate ship is moving through the neighborhood and leveling everything in its path. Meanwhile, in the Sector V Treehouse, Numbuh 5 opens a treasure chest full of candy and gives it all to the rest of Sector V. Suddenly, gum wads start coming through the wall and hitting them. It's a pirate ship called the Sweet Revenge. The pirates on the ship all board the treehouse. Numbuh 5 quickly hides the treasure chest full of candy. The pirates and the kids fight.

Sector V manages to defeat some of the pirates with their S.L.U.G.G.U.H.s, but the pirates soon overwhelm them. Numbuh 3 dodges 2 pirates. Then Numbuh 4 and Numbuh 5 knocked out some pirates surrounding them. Then another pirate knocked Numbuh 2 over with a candy cane-like sword and crashed into Numbuh 4 and Numbuh 5. And then Numbuh 1, who was stuck to the wall with gum, warned Numbuh 3 to watch out but it was too late. Another pirate got Numbuh 3 by her leg with licorice and pulled her onto the others and more pirates landed on them. Having secured the treehouse, two of the pirates, Chewy and Gooey, signal this to the chief pirate, Stickybeard, who promptly comes in.

Stickybeard is a candy-obsessed pirate, given the candy cane peg leg (that is, it's just the straight part of the lollipop) with gum on the end of his peg leg, some candy is stuck in his beard, a candy cane for a hook hand, and his teeth are in really bad shape. He demands all the candy, and Numbuh 5 refuses, saying he can have anything except the candy. But the pirates still take all the candy and take it to their ship. The pirates are about to leave, when Stickybeard notices the hidden treasure chest of candy. He takes it, too, and Numbuh 5 manages to burst out from beneath the pirates that were holding her and the other Sector V members dog pile and grab the treasure chest.

She says there's no way she's letting go of the candy, so he just takes her and the chest and warns the rest of the Sector V members not to follow them. The ship "sails off" and Chewy and Gooey bind Numbuh 5 to the mast with licorice, but she just eats it and gets free. She sneaks around and tries to take the treasure chest with her. The pirates notice her and try to attack her, and she's about to get away, but the weight of the chest pulls her down. Stickybeard takes the chest and throws it into the hold of the vessel with the rest of the candy.

Seeing how much Numbuh 5 likes candy, he offers to make Numbuh 5 his first mate, and that they'll rob kids of their candy, and that she'll become captain of the ship and get all of his candy when his teeth are completely rotted. He tells her that she'll have all the candy for 200 miles. He adds that the 200 miles is in nautical miles, which he believes is more than normal miles. Numbuh 5 thinks about it, but then rejects Stickybeard because she doesn't want to leave the KND, which was more important to her.

Stickybeard makes Numbuh 5 walk the plank, but Sector V arrives and saves her in the nick of time. The kids had reconfigured their treehouse into a flying ship and they proceed to attack the pirates. This time the KND manage to take out the pirates. During the course of the fighting, Numbuh 5 tries to find her candy and finds it deep down inside the ship's hold. She's about to leave with it, but Stickybeard interferes once again. Numbuh 5 says she will see Stickybeard at the dentist. Then the two engage in a classic sword fight using candy cane swords, but Stickybeard manages to destroy Numbuh 5's sword, much to both of their displeasure, and he pins her against the wall.

The ship spinning out of control

Meanwhile, Numbuh 2 and Chewy and Gooey are fighting over the steering wheel, causing the ship to move about in different directions. The steeple of a building smashes open the hull of the vessel, releasing all of the candy and stopping Stickybeard from finishing off Numbuh 5. A bunch of kids all see it and start eating the candy. Numbuh 2 asks Numbuh 5 if she's okay, and she says she's feeling sweet. The episode ends with Stickybeard, Chewy, and Gooey sadly rowing off into the sunset in a small rowboat named the Bitter Sweet.

Quotes[]

Captain Stickybeard: Brave warriors ye young'uns be, but ye be no match for Stickybeard! The stickiest pirate to ever sail the suburbs.

Stickybeard's crew: Yeah!

Captain Stickybeard: Ah, but enough with the formalities. We'll now be taking all yer candy.

Numbuh Five: Take anything, but not the candy.

Captain Stickybeard: (shoves a lollipop into Five's mouth) Ooh, a fellow sweet tooth, eh? Well, this lolly will be the last bit of candy you'll ever have in this treehouse when Old Stickybeard's done with ye! Snap to it, mateys.

Pirates: (singing as they take the candy to their ship) Candy, candy. Take the candy, Take the candy. Take it all. Candy, candy, take the candy, down to the last sourball.

Trivia[]

  • Captain Stickybeard's pirate ship is named the "Sweet Revenge", as seen at the beginning of the episode.
  • For those interested in knowing, a nautical mile equals about 6,080 feet, which is indeed slightly greater than a standard mile.
  • The scene where Stickybeard enters the treehouse and introduces himself can be bought in the console version of Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion.
  • Stickybeard says "sugar me timbers", a parody of "shiver me timbers"; a line often said by pirates in fiction.
  • Numbuh 4 has the gum wad stuck in his hair throughout the episode.
  • This episode and "Operation: C.O.W.G.I.R.L." were the fifth episodes of the series produced, but aired as the third episode on December 20, 2002.

Series Continuity[]

  • Stickybeard and his crew make their debut in this episode.
  • The Treehouse's candy storage and Numbuh 5's affinity for candy is introduced in this episode.
  • The headsets that Numbuhs 1-4 are wearing at the beginning of the episode are later reused in the game, Operation: V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E.
  • The flavor "blurpleberry" is first mentioned in this episode.
  • The massive candy storage inside the Sweet Revenge returns in "Operation: T.R.I.C.K.Y."

Pop Culture References[]

  • The music played when Numbuh 5 is rescued by Numbuh 2 is similar to the theme from the Indiana Jones film series.
  • When Stickybeard is persuaded to Numbuh 5 to join his candy pirate crew or walk the plank, but she chose the latter, this is very similar to Captain James Hook from Peter Pan (1953), When He is persuaded to the Darling Children and the lost boys to join his pirate crew or walk the plank, but Wendy Darling herself chose the latter.
  • The sound of the wads of gum shooting into the Treehouse sounds similar to Cyclops' "Optic Blast" from X-Men: Evolution.

Goofs[]

  • When Numbuh 5 enters the control room while the others are playing the sumo wrestling game, Numbuh 4 and Numbuh 3's sweaters have swapped colors. This is corrected in the next shot.
  • When the team is complaining at Numbuh 5 for interrupting the game, Numbuh 1's mouth is moving even though his voice is not heard.
  • Along with "Operation: C.O.W.G.I.R.L.", Numbuh 3's skin is miscolored pink in this episode.
  • When Numbuhs 1, 2, 3, and 4 are calling out for Numbuh 5 after she left with Stickybeard, Numbuh 3 isn't wearing her black leggings.
  • The visor on Numbuh 4's headset is mistakenly colored red when he takes it off.
  • The licorice rope used to make Numbuh 3 fall is mistakenly colored white when the pirates land on top of Numbuhs 2, 3, 4, and 5.
  • A hole appears in the wall behind Numbuh 1 just before he's hit by a gumball, despite no gumball having been fired through that wall.
  • Numbuh 5's candy chest is closed and moved between before the pirates attack and when they board the treehouse.
  • When Numbuh 4 calls for help from Numbuh 5, the little closet she just kicked her chest into is visibly open in the background and lacking a door.
  • Numbuh 1 is inexplicably stuck to the wall by a gumball, when he was just hit in the face earlier without moving from the spot.
  • When Numbuh 5 says "take anything, but not the candy", she sounds like her sister, Cree Lincoln.
  • When Numbuh 5 is about to walk the plank, the main mast does not appear to have any sails attached.
