Battle of Panthatar (Drake & Josh)
"Battle of Panthatar" is the sixteenth episode of the fourth season of the Nickelodeon sitcom Drake & Josh. The episode first aired on April 15, 2007.
Plot
Drake and Josh are invited to their friend Thornton's sixteenth Birthday Bash which will air on MTV live. However, their invitations are revoked after Thornton catches Drake kissing his girlfriend. To get into the party, Josh pushes a reluctant Drake into giving Thornton his autographed Abbey Road (The Beatles) album which is what he had just received from an English man. Even though he accepts the gift and labels it as his best birthday gift, Thornton still does not welcome them into the party. As a result, Drake and Josh invade the party dressed up as the Red Sky Nauts from Galaxy Wars (a parody of Star Wars) with lightsabers, to try to get the album back. They discovered they are able to escape with Drake secretly getting the album back.
