"Alien Invasion" is the 39th episode of the Nickelodeon television series Drake & Josh. It first aired on March 18, 2006.

[edit] Prologue

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Drake and Josh open with a short anecdote about their little sister, Megan. They list all the malevolent actions she has taken, such as giving Drake's cell phone number to three hobos and signing him up for the Mexican Army and dyeing all of Josh's underwear pink.

[edit] Plot summary

Drake and Josh become enraged after Megan steals Josh's laptop and Drake's leather jacket. To seek revenge, Drake and Josh, with the help of a Alien Attack 2 DVD, a ham radio and some alien costumes try to trick Megan into believing that she has been in contact with visitors from outer space. She starts to overreact and spends endless time trying to contact the aliens.

Drake and Josh obtain alien costumes and scare Megan. However, another "alien" appears and frightens the two brothers more than Megan. Megan arranged this to scare Drake and Josh and invites Danny (the alien) in for a cup of coffee. When her parents return home later in the evening Walter finds the 'alien' on the sofa... he screams and jumps through the closed window smashing it.

[edit] Trivia

  • During this episode, Eric appears, but not Craig (although Drake mistakes him for Craig). It is also revealed in this episode that they are both Jewish.
  • Maggie Wheeler, who played Janice in the hit show Friends, portrayed the woman who made Drake and Josh the alien costumes.
