"The Mighty Wheezers" is the 18th episode in the Season 2 of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.
Plot[]
The episode starts with Hugh and Judy packing up to go to the Burning Duck Festival. And they tell Jimmy that he has to stay with the Wheezers at first Jimmy is really excited until the Wheezers put some germ destroying lotion on him. Then they do a lot of stuff that Jimmy thinks is boring and when they go to bed Jimmy can't get any sleep because of the Wheezers loud snoring. So Jimmy goes to his lab to create a pill that will stop them from snoring but that's not the only thing it does. When Carl wakes up he discovers that he doesn't need his glasses and he can do finger pushups and Carl's parents are super strong now and they go out to have fun. Then Carl starts to climb up walls and jump over buildings and his parents are eating foods they were never able to eat because of their allergies. But then they decide to climb Mt. Incredibly Unstable the mountain that nobody has ever survived from. When they reach the top of the mountain the pill wears off and they start to fall. Jimmy saves them but the rock they were standing on is rolling down the hill and is about to destroy everybody at the Burning Duck Festival. Jimmy use his Tractor Beam and has Sheen tilt the hovercraft so the desert sand blows in the face of the Wheezers, who are incredibly allergic to salt. The force of their sneezes stops the rock just in time from crashing and ruining the festival. Hugh invites them to participate in the festival and the episode ends with all of them singing together while Mt. Incredibly Unstable crumbles in the background.

Trivia[]
- This episode makes four parodies of the 2002 superhero film Spider-Man:
- When Carl discovers that doesn't need his glasses anymore.
- When he wall crawls and jumps over buildings.
- When he's upside down on a rope, similar to Peter Parker hanging on a string of web.
- Another possible parody is when the Wheezers are hopping on different canyons, similar to the Hulk in the 2003 film, or a scene in Spider-Man when Peter discovers his powers (the music is also similar to the theme from Spider-Man).
- Coincidentally, both films featured music composed by Danny Elfman.
- Ebeneezer's snoring is in a "mi-mi-mi" variant, ala two of the third members of the Three Stooges (i.e. Curly Howard and Joe Besser).
- The Burning Duck Festival is a parody of Burning Man, a real festival that takes place in Black Rock Desert, NV.
- Sheen couldn't stay at the festival since he had to stay home and lube up his grandma's cankles.
- The Wheezers' weird routines:
- They apply disinfecting lotion all over their bodies to rid themselves of germs after coming home.
- They do some exercising and guttural chanting before dinner to limber up their GI tracks and keep their digesting "loose and gas-free".
- Their dinners are usually made of hypoallergenic mush due to being allergic to most meats, fish, and spices.
- They don't watch a lot of TV before bed: because Mrs. Wheezer claims it causes brain lesions.
- They always gargle before bed, sometimes getting the mouthwash past their tonsils.
- Their bedtime is as early as 7:30.
- When the Wheezers make it to the top of Mt. Incredibly Unstable, a sound similar to the Rocky theme song plays in the background.
- The title card's design is similar to the logo of the The Amazing Spider-Man comic books.
- This and "Billion Dollar Boy" are the last regular Season 2 episodes in production order.
- Cindy and Libby don't appear in this episode.
- Although this episode was released in 2004, you can actually see "Copyright 2003 Viacom International, Inc." at the end of the credits. This means that the episode was produced in 2003.
- The Wheezers running too fast is similar to SEGA's Sonic the Hedgehog.
Goofs[]
- In "I Dream of Jimmy", Carl mentions his sleeping routine of lights out, drinking hot milk, and his mother rubbing his stomach. But this routine was completely disregarded when Jimmy and Carl went to bed, with it still shining light outside.
- When the Wheezers are falling off of Mt. Incredibly Unstable, we see Carl wearing his glasses again. But then he doesn't have them when Jimmy sets them safely on the ground.
