* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Subverted. This is one of the few times Dr. Weird calls Steve by his name and doesn't say "GENTLEMEN". When we cut to his lab, we see that a snake is on his head, and he looks anxious as he asks Steve to... "AGITATE THE HELL OUT OF THIS SNAKE!!!"

* FreakLabAccident: {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d when Shake tries to gain superpowers using barrels of toxic waste. First, he tries to get some worms to eat the waste before [[ComicBook/SpiderMan biting him]]. This doesn't work, so he dumps a spoonful of the waste over his head, shouting, "Oh, no! A horrible accident!". This doesn't work, either.

* SecretIdentity: Parodied. It's fairly obvious from the opening scene that Shake is the Drizzle, with Shake himself letting it slip a few times during the episode. He does his best to convince everyone otherwise. [[spoiler:He finally confesses at the end and is honestly shocked that Frylock and Meatwad already know]].
* {{Sidekick}}: Meatwad tries to be this to the Drizzle as Mr. Mister, whose powers revolve around cleaning products. Shake, [[JerkAss unsurprisingly]], isn't too enthusiastic about the proposition.

* RadiationInducedSuperpowers: Subverted in humorous fashion. Master Shake exposes himself to toxic waste that, instead of giving him superpowers, causes him to slowly melt.

* SuperHeroOrigin: Parodied. Shake tells Frylock that the Drizzle got his rain manipulation powers by being bitten by a "thirsty worm in a science lab accident" as a kid. Frylock, who calls the origin "amazingly lame", counters that the worm should have instead given the Drizzle burrowing powers, to which Shake stammers that the Drizzle [[BlatantLies can do that as well]].
* ToxicWasteCanDoAnything: Subverted in humorous fashion. This is what Master Shake tries doing but [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome the realization toxic waste doesn't grant superpowers like in the comics occurs]] when he only accomplishes mutating himself in horrific fashion. The radioactive waste he pours on himself first causes his skull to cave in before he grows a freakish tail...'''thing.''' By the end of the episode, he is a mere puddle.
* WeatherManipulation: The Drizzle's power is to make it rain "sheets and sheets," according to Shake. It's also his ''only'' power apparently. Meatwad points out the Drizzle thus wouldn't be a deterrent to even low-level crime.

'''Air Date:''' June 1, 2003

The mysterious, rain-based super hero known as 'The Drizzle' becomes the newest hero in town...or at least that's what Master Shake spends the episode trying to accomplish. To that end, he steals three barrels of nuclear waste in the hope of gaining superpowers.

* AttentionWhore: The whole reason Shake becomes the Drizzle. [[spoiler:In a vain attempt to save the city toward the end of the episode, Shake somehow manages to ''burn it down'' instead. Afterward, he's only concerned with finding out if he got on TV.]]
---> '''Shake:''' Look, we must keep my secret identity a secret. And that's what sucks about a secret identity. I will never get the credit that I deserve for the attention grabbing things that I do.
* BatSignal: Shake gives Frylock and Meatwad a pair of 'Drizzle-Phones' to contact the super hero for free...but only for the first month of service.
* CheapCostume: Shake's reaction when he finally gets a load of the Drizzle's costume.
* GladIThoughtOfIt: Meatwad suggests the Drizzle should become "the Fume" after the eradiated Shake starts leaking green fumes. Shake rejects the idea before the [[HypocriticalHumor next scene]] shows him on the phone trying to change all his Drizzle merchandise to the Fume.
* HoldingBothSidesOfTheConversation: Shake does this while on the phone with Frylock in an effort to seem as if he and the Drizzle are different people. [[BadBadActing It goes about as well as you would imagine]].
* KnewItAllAlong: When it starts raining at the end of the episode, Shake, who promised rain earlier, is quick to gloat. His moment of glory is quickly ruined by Meatwad, who holds up a mirror, which finally informs Shake [[BodyHorror just how horribly he's mutated]].
