Top 10 Best Drake & Josh Moments
These scenes will always be picking us up when we’re down, so just turn around. Welcome to MsMojo, and today we’re counting down our picks for the Top 10 Moments of Drake & Josh.
For this list, we’re looking back at some of the funniest, most heartwarming, and downright awesome scenes featuring our favorite bickering stepbrothers - and occasionally, their evil little sister, Megan. If you’ve never watched the hilarity unfold, there WILL be spoilers.
#10: The Twitch
Top 10 Funniest Running Gags in Drake & Josh
Josh gets a chance to appear as a junior anchor on his Dad’s weather forecast. Unfortunately, a jealous Megan decides that if SHE can’t be on TV, she’ll just ruin HIS chance. She psyches him out by reminding him of how he used to twitch when he got scared. The big broadcast goes well at first… until Megan’s words echo through Josh’s head, and he starts twitching uncontrollably on national TV. Admittedly, Josh’s twitching IS kind of funny to watch because of how his actor really sells it, but it’s not as fun watching him become a laughing stock too embarrassed to go out in public again - all thanks to one unbelievably evil little girl.
#9: Megan Saves the Day
Top 10 Best Megan Pranks on Drake & Josh
Yes, you heard that right – Megan Parker, Drake and Josh’s evil little sister, actually saved her boobish brothers for once. When the boys are arrested for possessing and selling stolen Gary Coleman grills, Josh pleads to Megan to catch the crooks who really stole the grills. Wearing a wire, Megan teams up with the FBI and tricks the real bandits into revealing their whole scheme. She could’ve easily just ignored her brothers and let them rot away in jail, but she took the time and effort to prove their innocence, showing that she does care for them in some way. That and it’s always refreshing to see her manipulate for good for once – too bad it rarely happens again.
#8: Trapped on the Side of the Road
Drake and Josh have been tasked with bringing the cake to their horrible great aunt’s wedding. They’re forced to borrow a rundown car, which breaks down on the side of the road, stranding them… and that’s just the beginning. For the rest of the night, the two end up bruised, robbed, locked out of their car, and abandoned by an insulted tow truck driver. To top it off, when it seems like they’ve finally caught a break… the car catches fire and the two can only walk away – completely done with this whole episode. Murphy’s Law states that anything that can go wrong will go wrong; needless to say that said law was working overtime for the boys that night.
#7: Josh Is Done
Drake & Josh Cast: Where Are They Now?
Drake and Josh’s brotherhood has always been… complicated at best. But when Drake causes him to miss a super important exam, Josh has had enough – he cuts Drake out of his life and wants nothing more to do with him. Drake shrugs it off claiming that without him, Josh is nothing… but Josh’s life actually seems to get better while Drake’s falls apart. This ultimately leads to the series’ most emotional scene where Drake breaks down, apologizes, and admits that he needs Josh WAY more than Josh needs him. Fortunately, this story has a happy ending where the boys reconcile – showing that even if Josh is better off without Drake, it’s hard to keep their bond broken for too long.
#6: “Soul Man” Performance
While Josh is dealing with his twitching embarrassment, Drake is preparing his band for the talent show. He’s almost guaranteed to win AGAIN, but a rival a capella group steals the song he planned to perform. Thankfully, Drake has a backup plan that’s sure to help him win AND help Josh overcome his stage fright – the stepbrothers don matching “Blues Brothers” suits and put on a full-blown performance of “Soul Man.” Not only does the plan succeed, but it’s also an amazing tribute to the legendary “SNL” musical-comedy duo brought to life by one of Nickelodeon’s most famous duos – from the energetic dancing to the perfectly recreated jazz music topped off with an amazing harmonica solo.
#5: Josh’s Birthday Present
Top 10 Worst Things Drake & Josh Have Done
So far, Josh’s birthday has not been going so well – not only did Drake forget his only brother's big day, but he throws a party for another one of his many, many, MANY girlfriends that he’s only known for a few days. Fortunately, Drake makes up for it in a big way – he gets Josh tickets and backstage passes to his idol, Oprah Winfrey… and Josh spontaneously kisses Drake in appreciation. Apparently, it was scripted that Josh only kisses Drake on the cheek, as they’ve done in the past, but Josh decided to go all-out and went straight for the lips… and it paid off hilariously, making Drake’s shocked reaction look more natural.
#4: The Bet
Top 10 Stars You Forgot Were on Drake & Josh
When it comes to siblings getting competitive, Drake and Josh take it to humorous new levels – as demonstrated here. The two make a bet to see who can last longer without their respective addictions, Drake’s being junk food and Josh’s being video games. Unfortunately, the temptation to fall back into their habits is too strong, especially when Josh gets a new GameSphere – I mean come on, it’s SPHERICAL! So they both try to break the other first… only to both cave at the same time. It’s impossible to tell which is more priceless – watching the boys nearly crack trying to ditch their addictions, or seeing them simultaneously fail and endure the hysterically funny consequences… let’s just say both.
#3: “Pip-Pip-De-Doodly-Do!”
Top 10 Darkest Batman: The Animated Series Moments
Megan has been acting suspicious lately, and the boys are determined to find out what “diabolical act” she’s planning this time. They disguise themselves as two loud Jewish Irishmen with the most exaggerated accents ever imagined. When they find out that Megan is on a date, they do whatever they can to keep the two young teens from kissing; unsurprisingly, they get caught –kind of hard to miss two over-the-top boobs dressed in ridiculous disguises. While not the most culturally sensitive cover-up, it’s hard not to laugh as Drake and Josh ham it up while going undercover, and it’s sweet to see them so protective of their normally evil little sister. Unfortunately, they only end up ruining her date.
#2: Josh “Meets” Oprah
We all know how much Josh loves Oprah, so getting to see her show on his birthday is like a dream come true. Unfortunately, it quickly turns into a nightmare when he accidentally hits her with his car. What’s even worse is that he can’t even get near her to apologize without getting tased by mean security guards or dragged off to a chemical bath – thanks to Drake. In the end, Oprah sends Josh a restraining order – meaning that he isn’t allowed anywhere near his most beloved celebrity. Poor Josh can’t seem to catch a break sometimes… but on the plus side, he technically got Oprah’s autograph, so SOME good came out of this.
Before we unveil our number one pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
The Dance Contest
Megan DOES Love Her Brothers
“I Kissed Your Wife”
Josh in Jail
“Don’t Drink When I’m Talking!”
#1: The Foam Finger Fight
Top 10 Heated Moments on The View
It turns out that Drake and Josh knew each other longer than they realized. When they were both eight-years-old, they met at a baseball game and got into a fight over a misunderstanding caused by a foam finger. Years later, the bitter memories of their first scuffle return and both brothers accuse each other of starting that fight; it turns out that it was actually baby Megan who caused their brawl… why doesn’t that surprise us? In a weird way, their very first scuffle set the bar for their dynamic years later – they’ll tussle it out and drive each other crazy, but it makes it all the more worth it when they make up in the end –like the brothers they really are.
