I'm going to be honest, here. "Drake and Josh" has been my least favorite sitcom. I have never liked it, despite the fact it has given me some minor chuckles. When it comes to mean-spirited and cruel, however, the show goes right down the drain. The episode, "Theater Thug" is no exception.
Drake and Josh get chosen to be in a reenactment on a show that's trying to find somebody known as the Theater Thug.
The next day, everywhere he goes, Josh is mistaken for the Theater Thug by people who are too stupid to realize he's not the guy.
This absolutely unnecessary and downright IRRITATING gag repeats itself almost every single scene. You cannot go away from it. It is "Modern Fairly OddParents" levels of repetitive gags.
What makes it even worse is Josh getting arrested and pleading he's innocent, while Drake stands there in the background like a moron and does nothing.
I'm serious. He stands there and watches while his poor stepbrother is taken away and he does not lift a freaking finger to prove his innocence. The ending is also unspeakably insulting. After the boys catch the real Theater Thug, Josh is arrested yet again, while the real bad guy goes free. I am astonished at how awful this episode is.
When I said "Drake and Josh" can be downright mean-spirited, I was not kidding. "Theater Thug" is the lowest common denominator when it comes to this show's humor and, not once, did I get a laugh from it.
My advice to you for "Theater Thug" is, run, don't walk away from this one.
