Go into the water...
The band attempts to record a record in a nuclear submarine underwater, which proves difficult due to Nathan's perfectionism. Record Producer Dick Knubbler is bribed by the tribunal into spying on the band.

Tropes

  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: The mutant seahorse.
  • Ax-Crazy: Dick Knubbler was facing jail time for drug use and disfiguring a woman's face with acid.
  • Early-Installment Weirdness: The Dethsub is manned by the Russian Navy as opposed to any of Dethklok's employees, especially curious since later episodes indicate that Klokateers often taken on very specialized skills so seafaring would hardly be an exception.
  • Eye Scream: Dick's eyes explode from rising too fast.
  • Foreshadowing: Those whale noises the band accidentally record play an important role in the later seasons.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Dick defects from the Tribunal to become Dethklok's producer.
  • Percussive Maintenance: Fittingly enough Pickles The Drummer is the one to fix the Nuclear Submarine's generator suddenly shutting down via throwing a bottle of alcohol at it. It also caused a nuclear waste leak though.
  • Oh, No... Not Again!: The rest of the band's reaction to Nathan erasing yet another full length album.
    Murderface: (to Nathan) You suck!
  • Second Episode Introduction: Dick Knubbler, Charles Offdensen.
  • The Power of Rock: What triggers Dick's Heel–Face Turn.
  • Vomit Indiscretion Shot: Of Murderface puking up beans.
