Really Big Shrimp

"Really Big Shrimp" is a television special for the Nickelodeon sitcom Drake & Josh. The episode first aired on August 3, 2007, and was Nickelodeon's highest-rated television event at that time, with 5.8 million viewers. Plot At a music showcase at the Premiere movie theater, Drake (Drake Bell) performs his new song "Makes Me Happy" for a music deal from record producer Alan Krim (mentioned in the series' first television film) and he succeeds. While at Spin City Records, they agree to put Drake's song in a commercial for the Daka Shoe Company's "Air Puffs" line that will air during the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Helen (Yvette Nicole Brown) is getting married to Buzz Baxter and, with many of her family members staying in her apartment, her grandmother Lula comes to stay at the Parker-Nichols home for a week, forcing Drake and Josh (Josh Peck) to share their room with Megan (Miranda Cosgrove) due to Lula staying in hers instead of the guest room (since Walter has a train set in the guest room as mentioned in "The Great Dohney"). In retaliation for this, Megan redecorates her brothers' room in a girly style, confines them to a single mattress in a corner with only a lamp and a football accompanying it, threatens to accuse them of vandalizing their neighbors' gazebo if they complain about this to their parents, and invites her friends to hang out with her in the room. To save money for her upcoming honeymoon, Helen makes a deal with Craig and Eric to videotape her wedding. Helen then promotes the Premiere's latest employee and Josh's ex-girlfriend, Mindy Crenshaw (Allison Scagliotti), as its new assistant manager for fixing a corn dog rotisserie that Josh was unable to fix. Josh is distraught over not getting the position and accuses Mindy of constantly trying to do better than him, which she denies. While at the recording studio for Drake's song, Josh is given a contract from Krim to sign that he fails to read, as the company's served prawns distract him, and he inadvertently signs the creative rights to Drake's song away. An auto-tuned "bubblegum pop" remix of the song that Drake is not pleased with is soon developed by Krim. Learning about the contract and Josh's involvement in it, a furious Drake bitterly fires him as his manager for his blundering and attempts to get revenge on Krim as well as acting cold to Josh. While criticizing Josh for always playing by the rules, Drake tells him that, "when people play dirty, sometimes you have to play dirty back".
