In order to avoid being the next victims of school bully Jocktopus, Oscar, Milo and Bea decide to give him a birthday present, but when they discover that Jocktopus does not like money, they end up giving Oscar away. He used Oscar to make his bullying job easier and set his sights on Milo and Bea.

Episode Summary[]

When Jocktopus' birthday comes up, he warns every student in Freshwater High that if they don't bring a gift for him, they will get "pounded" by him. When the trio go to the mall, Bea decides to buy him "extra-strength" deodorant, Milo buys two toothbrushes, and Oscar insists that he should just give him money. At his party, Sunny gives him money, but Jocktopus calls it "worthless paper" and he ends up in the "to punch later box." Then, Oscar hides the money in his hair, but Milo and Bea give him away while Jocktopus takes him to his locker. Oscar creates a program for Jocktopus, his new friend, while Milo and Bea sneak into the locker and try to get him back, but he refuses to. At the end, Oscar becomes friends again with Milo and Bea.

Allusions[]

  • "Birthfish" is a playoff of the words "birthday" and "fish."
  • One store at the beginning is called Wet Topic, referring to Hot Topic.
  • At Jocktopus' birthday party, there was a poster saying "Fish Stick Friday", which is very ironic because if fish eat fish stick, they are technically eating themselves.
  • On the box Milo hides in, there is Fish-Ex on the side which is the fish version of Fed-Ex.
