Information[]

Summary[]

One day, Sector V arrived in an old Treehouse on their C.H.O.P.S.H.O.P. Numbuh 1, 4, and 5 snuck quietly in looking for the villain. Numbuh 1 saw someone sleeping and when he removed the magazine, he, Numbuh 4 and 5 saw some strange mustaches on Sector T. Sector T was infected by a horde of parasite mustaches that take over their victims' minds and change the way they act and talk. Numbuh 2 got ready to help Sector T out by taking them in one by one and Numbuh 3 would use a razor to shave the mustaches. But before the third could get launched, the mustache of Numbuh 142 was gone. Numbuh 142 told Numbuh 1 and 5 about Numbuh 149’s mother getting a mustache and stopped with the KND stuff and explained everyone else got one too but the mustache grew back on Numbuh 142 and acted like a cow folk and launched. Sector V tries to avenge their teammates by finding out where the mustaches came from.

They investigate the building that has a giant mustache on it and the security and C.E.O. are infected as well. The KND snuck in with fake mustaches until their covers were blown and Numbuh 4 shaved one mustache, Numbuh 1 and 2 threw shaving cream bombs, and Numbuh 3 and 5 shaved them. The Cops told Nigel about the Head Mustache being on the top floor. Sector V reached the top floor with Numbuh 149’s mother with the Head Mustache where she used a magnet to steal their 2x4 weapons with a magnet. The mustaches reveal their true plan to take over the whole world. Only for Numbuh 149’s mother revealed she is also being controlled by the mustache and begged for help. Numbuh 5 used her hat like a boomerang to turn off the magnet and their weapons were back. But the Mustache left very quickly.

Soon the Head Mustache takes over Numbuh 3 but she and the others are freed. Head Mustache told them to stop. The Mustaches tell their sad story that their previous owners and celebrity faces and many other famous people, who had abandoned them and they tried to look for some new faces, followed by tears. Numbuh 3 takes pity on them but Numbuh 1 and 4 were surprised and Wally wanted to shave them so bad but Kuki gave Wally a deadly stare and wanted to help out “Kitty” and Numbuh 4 agreed as Numbuh 5 has an idea and Sector V moves the mustaches to the Antarctic where they take over the penguins as their new faces.

Trivia[]

  • This is the first episode in which Sector V helps both kids and adults.
  • This is also one of the very few episodes where we see the parent of KND operative outside of Sector V.

Production Notes[]

  • When Mr. Warburton pitched this story idea, he rough boarded out the opening raid sequence and played the beginning of the song "Lightning Strikes" by Cypress Hill.[1]

Series Continuity[]

Pop Culture References[]

  • William Shakespeare appears as one of the famous men who shared his face with one of the Mustaches. However, he is typically depicted with a goatee.
  • Another of the famous men depicted was the Tom Selleck character Thomas Magnum of Magnum, P.I.
  • Other famous men include scientist Albert Einstein, and comedian Groucho Marx.
  • The mustaches are similar to the DC comics villain, Starro the Conqueror, since both latch on to people's faces to control them.
  • Numbuh 4 calls Numbuh 142's mom "Sasquatch", which is another name for Bigfoot.

Errors/Goofs[]

  • Even though the Sector T treehouse is first shown to be out in the middle of the desert, they can clearly see an entire city from the treehouse later in the episode.
  • The shadow under Numbuh 4's bowl cut is missing in the shot of him sneaking in the large room in the treehouse.
  • The size of the B.O.T.T.L.E.C.A.P. handle varies between shots; sometimes small enough to disappear in Numbuh 1's hand, other times too big to be fully encompassed.
  • There are a lot of inconsistencies with the backpacks in the opening raid sequence:
    • Numbuh 5 does not initially have a backpack, but then is wearing one when the Shaving cream bomb goes off; before losing it again when they're running in the dark; and finally it's back when they enter the main treehouse room.
    • Numbuh 4's backpack is missing while they're running in the dark, returns when they reach the door to the main room, and finally disappears when the three of them sneak inside the room.
    • Numbuh 1 is also wearing a backpack when the bomb goes off, but never after that.
  • When Numbuh 3 is about to shave Numbuh 149, the inside of the C.H.O.P.S.H.O.P. looks a lot larger than earlier.
  • Numbuh 5 finds Numbuh 142 lying in front of the piano that Numbuh 4 was standing in front of earlier when he was knocked over by Numbuh 143.
  • When Numbuh 142 is launched out of the treehouse, the holes made by his teammates are no longer visible.
  • When Numbuh 149's mom activates the map screen to show the mustaches' evil plan, the screen shows a fake map of nowhere.
  • When she starts struggling against the mustache, the map screen has gone back to just show Texas.
  • Even though all five of Sector V shoot at Numbuh 149's mom, only four shaving machines and shots of shaving cream is launched at her.
  • When Sector V goes to find the escaped mustache, the large map-screen on the floor in front of the desk is gone. And so is almost everything else in the office as well.
  • Numbuh 142 is incorrectly named "Numbuh 132" in the credits.
  • Numbuh 5's hat is not seen again after she uses it to retrieve Sector V's weapons.
  • "Mustache" is spelled three different ways in the credits.
