"Maximum Hugh" is the first segment of the 17th episode of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.
Plot[]
It's time for the Parent-Child Picnic Games at Lindbergh Elementary - and the Vortexes always win. Since Jimmy doesn't think Hugh has what it takes to beat Cindy and her mother, he invents a headband to scientifically bring his dad's performance levels up past human standards, but he and his dad are ultimately disqualified for cheating, along with Cindy (who had used her Aunt Susie disguised as her mother). In fact, after Team Neutron and Team Vortex are disqualified, it turns out that every other parent-child team in the competition had done something that's worthy of disqualification -- the only team that didn't cheat were Carl and his father, Ebenezer (who were dead last in every category). As a result, Team Wheezer is declared the winner of the Parent-Child Picnic Games (albeit by default).

Quotes[]
- Jimmy (to Cindy): Vortex, you know darn well we won a medal last year!
- Cindy: Yeah, for funniest collision!
- (The class laughs)
- Ms. Fowl: Now, class, it's not polite to... (bursts out laughing) that collision was hilarious!
- Sheen: Uh, Coach Gruber, my dad's out of town, so I brought Matt, he collects cans outside my dad's office.
- Coach Gruber (flexing and posing) No problem the Picnic Games rule book stipulates that in the event of an absent parent that a vagrant may be substituted
- Jimmy: My dad's all thumbs and has two left feet.
- Sheen: Cool! If your mom grows a beard, we could start a circus!
- Hugh (to Jimmy): Now, remember, son, there's no "I" in "team," you know what I mean?
- Jimmy: You mean we should sublimate our differences for the good of our combined effort?
- Hugh: What? No, no, I mean there's no letter "I" in the word "team." There's never a wrong time for a spelling lesson, son!
- Jimmy (to Cindy): The possibilities of you and your mom having different eye color, foot size, and earlobe length are 270,000,000 to 1.
- Cindy: You think just because your stupid data says that it's true?
- Jimmy: That...and the fact that she has a zipper on the back of her neck.
- Mr. Wheezer: We won! And not a single injury! (drops the trophy)
- Carl: Ow! My foot!
- Mr. Wheezer: Ow! My back!
- Carl & Mr. Wheezer: (crash into each other) Ow! My head!
- Mr. Wheezer: Ow! I think I got a bone spurt.
- Carl: Ooh! Leg cramp!
- Mr. Wheezer: My kidneys are on FIRE! (faints)
- Coach Gruber: Team Neutron is disqualified, which means Team DeCarlo wins.
- Mr. Decarlo: Sorry, we cheated, too. Greased the wheels on the wagon.
- Coach Gruber: Okay, then. Team Simkins?
- Mr. Simkins: We cheated on the hurdle thing.
- Coach Gruber: Team Jenson?
- Mr. Jenson: Cheated.
- Coach Gruber: Wilderman?
- Mr. Wilderman: Played fair!
- Crowd: Yay!
- Mr. Wilderman: Then cheated.
- Crowd: Boo!

Trivia[]
List of teams
- When Jimmy asks his mother to pass the pork-loaf, you can see a pig's nose and its tail on the food.
- This is the first episode Jimmy wears his lab coat whenever he is in his lab.
- He did however wear it in "Broadcast Blues", but on stage.
- All of the competitors against Jimmy and Hugh are from Jimmy's class:
- Cindy Vortex and her Aunt Susie (disguised as her mother).
- Carl Wheezer and his father Ebenezer Wheezer.
- Sheen Estevez and his friend Max (Mr. Estevez wasn't available, so he picked Max).
- Nathan Decarlo and his father Keith Decarlo.
- Ike Wilderman and his father Mr. Wilderman.
- Kevin and his father Mr. Sibian. (It is spelled "Moodini" on the board and credits for unknown reasons)
- Angie and her father Mr. Jenson.
- Carl and Ebeneezer are the only participants that did not cheat.
- Sheen and Max didn't cheat but they also didn't really do anything.
- Cindy would have gotten away with it according to Coach Gruber "when a parent is absent in an event they may be substituted", but since she didn't mention where her mother is & since it was more than one event that her aunt Susie participated in, mostly throughout the whole parent child picnic games events, she and Cindy are disqualified.
- This and "Sleepless in Retroville" were produced between "Safety First"/"Crime Sheen Investigation" and "Journey to the Center of Carl"/"Aaughh!! Wilderness!!".
- The Marshmallow Toss lasted 47.04 seconds according to Coach Gruber's stopwatch.
- Not counting "Crime Sheen Investigation", this is the second episode Libby's face isn't seen, but the back of it is shown after "Professor Calamitous, I Presume".
- The Parent-Child Picnic Games' rules seem very imbalanced. The 3rd and final event are worth 90% of your score. Making the first two event practically meaningless.
- This episode re-aired on Nicktoons during the Holladays 2015.
- The title card and the font used are the reference to 1996 Jean-Claude Van Damme film Maximum Risk, since one of the movie poster design uses the same font as this title card, with an exception the ground-like effect on the font and a flame orange for the color.
- Moral: A winner never cheats and a cheater never wins.
