The
Tick vs. The Idea Men
This
was the episode that started it all. It does a great
job of introducing all the main characters of the
series while still being absolutely hilarious. The
episode starts off with a short interview of The
Tick and Arthur,
where they describe working together as superheoes,
and then The Tick explains how he got his beginning.
The Tick had gone to Reno to attend the Superhero
tyrouts, where Superhero's demonstrate their abilities
and are assigned to a city by a board of celebrity
judges. Tick shows up with the 'Danger box' and blows
up the entire competition, and so he is assigned to
The City.

city dam and all the heroes of The City turn out to
try to try to stop them...

Tickisms
The
Tick:
You
don't eat crackers in the bed of your future!
Ah Ha! I'll bounce off of that flag pole and flip to safety!
Ah Ha! I'll bounce off that
broad, flat surface! Or, maybe not…
Gravity is a harsh mistress.
Yeah, I suck blood all the
time…Look! I got a straw right here, pal, you want a demonstration?
You're not going crazy,
Arthur, you're going sane in a crazy world!
Hug your destiny Arthur!
Arthur! Get up! The City calls upon her steadfast protectors!
OK Idea Man! What's the big
idea?
With luck, our future holds still more dire threats!

Arthur:
Are
we dead yet?
I'm very frightened!
(The Tick) No Arthur, you're very flying!
Captain
Lemming:
Come
on, spine! Work with me!
Big Shot:
Why
didn't you love me, mom?
