"Beach Party Mummy" is 19th episode of season one of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.

Plot

Jimmy takes Libby and his other friends to sneak out of school to go to Egypt after watching a boring and slow movie based on it to make everyone sleep in the classroom. They vacation on the sands until a sandstorm hits, which chases them into a pyramid, which leads to them being attacked by mummies after Carl accidentally zaps them with Jimmy's electro life ray. To defeat the mummies, the kids give Libby a new hairstyle and this allows Libby to put the mummies asleep for 10 trillion years (because Queen Hasabataslapya is Libby's ancestor). Libby likes the new hairstyle so much, that she decides to keep it. Back in class, the kids (expect for Carl) are sneaking to their desks. Carl pushes them in the way and tells Ms. Fowl that they're back. The kids startle Ms. Fowl and Principal Willoughby. For sneaking out of class, the class gets ten demerits. But for discovering the lost tomb, they get extra recess at the playground and free swim time at the pool for the rest of the week. Carl then realizes Jimmy's life ray must've worked on reviving his beloved fish, Swimmy. Cindy sheepishly admits to Jimmy that she enjoyed the adventure with Jimmy also sheepishly agreeing. This is suddenly followed by Cindy snapping at Jimmy saying the next adventure would stink. Jimmy retorts that he wouldn't invite her and the two get into an argument. Back at Jimmy's Lab, Carl happily reunites with Swimmy singing his name. Carl hugs the fishbowl as Swimmy swims up to the camera and winks at the audience.

Quotes

Carl: All my life I wanted to go an authentic Egyptian Beach Party!

Sheen: (referring to the mural that resembles Libby) Wow, Libby!

Maybe she's your great-great-great-great-great…

[we see a fast time lapse of the sun and the moon rising and setting, for two days]

…great-great-great-great GRANDMOTHER!

Cindy: (to Jimmy as he explains why they should leave his electro-life device behind) Good thing we're in a tomb, cause you're boring us to death.

Carl: Guys, we can't leave school. It's ditching and it'll go on our permanent record.

Sheen: Carl, how many times to I have to tell you? Your permanent record is just a myth. Like the Loch Ness monster, or North Dakota.

Cindy: This better not be like the time you took us to the center of the earth and all we found was a bunch of hot dirt.

Jimmy: Aw, come on, guys. This is going to be a great adventure! We're going to find the lost tomb of Queen Hasabataslapya.

Carl: (eyeing a cloud shaped like a goldfish) Wow. That cloud kind of reminds me of Swimmy.

Sheen: Uh, Carl, get a new pet: Like a pit bull! Or a wolverine! Or a friendly little alien from another planet that you can display like a freak and exploit for a million dollars!

Libby: Sheen, did you take your medicine this morning?

Sheen: (in an evasive why-do-you-want-to-know voice) Maybe.

Jimmy: I don't understand it. I can't seem to find the lost tomb.

Cindy: Duh! That's why it's called the lost tomb, not the "Here It Is, Tomb: Come Inside and Have a Milkshake!"

Carl: Ah, Swimmy loved milkshakes.

Miss Fowl: Today we will watch part 1 of Ken Burns' 97-hour on the history of mummies.

Cindy: Yawn. I'd rather chew off my own foot.

Sheen: (Attempting to read the hieroglyphics) The queen flew on the wings of an eagle.

(Cindy and Libby gasping in disbelief.)

Sheen: She had a VCR, but she wanted a DVD and the gods sent munchkins to hypnotize her water-skis, so she took her peanut-butter sandwich for a walk. The end.

Carl: Wow Sheen, that was AMAZING!

(Cindy and Libby overlapping:)

Libby: Oh boy...

Cindy: Oh please...

Libby: (on their way back home) You know, I think I'm down with this new look. I'm gonn' keep it.

Cindy: (sarcastically) So do we have to address you as "Queen Libby" from now on?

Libby: (giggles) No! (jokingly) "Your Mighty Fine Royal Fabulousness" will do.

Jimmy: (while grabbing Libby's hand) Libby, quick, I need you!

Libby: (blushing and playing with her hair) Why, Jimmy, this is so sudden!

Cindy: (with a mix of disbelief and jealousy) Hey, what's going on?

Sheen: It's the desert love curse! It's working its evil ways on Jimmy's heart!

Cindy: Well, I hate to admit it, but I guess that was a pretty cool adventure, Neutron.

Jimmy: Aww, thanks, Cindy.

(Both pausing slightly confused.)

Cindy: But I bet the next one stinks!

Jimmy: Well, who says I'm gonna invite you?!

Cindy: Well, who says I'd even go?!

Jimmy: Who says I'd want you to go?!

Cindy: I wouldn't go!

Jimmy: I wouldn't let you go!

Jimmy: I did it!

Sheen: Yeah!

Jimmy: My Electro-Life works! I can bring the dead back to life!

Sheen: All right! You trampled all over the laws of nature! Way to go!

Cindy: Yeah, Terrific. Now a bunch of dead guys are wrapped in toilet paper are gonna kill us.

Carl: Um, guys? I suggest we...RUN!!

Sheen: Jimmy, next time you invite me anywhere, remind me to say "no".

Jimmy: Let's hope there is a next time!

(Jimmy's torch has gone out and everyone is plunged into total darkness)

Jimmy: Everybody! Ssh. Stand still. I'll find my torch. (he steps on Cindy's foot)

Cindy: Ow! That's not your torch!

Jimmy: Sorry.

Carl: Hey, Jimmy, I still got your Electro-Life thingy that makes, uh, light.

Trivia

• Libby's suggestion to call Harrison Ford is a reference to Indiana Jones.
• This is the first episode where Libby wears her hair in Egyptian dreads, but she only later adds a pink shirt and jeans to complete her new look.
  • It is also the last episode to feature Libby's old hairstyle and her aqua green dress, which had been used since the pre-movie shorts.
    • Confusingly, this episode aired after "A Beautiful Mine" and "Sorry, Wrong Era" in the United States. Further adding to the confusion, "A Beautiful Mine", " Sorry, Wrong Era," "Operation: Rescue Jet Fusion," Holly Jolly Jimmy", and "Love Potion 976/J" (these last two even being produced in season one) all came before this episode in production order, despite them obviously taking place after this. It is possible that this episode was made ahead of time.
• This is the only episode to have Libby be the lead-character/protagonist of the episode.
• During the beach party song, Jimmy, Sheen, and Carl dance similar to the band Genesis during their song "I Can't Dance".
• This is a reference to a '80s pop music band The Bangles.
• The Egyptian Beach Party song is a parody of the song “Surf City” by Jan and Dean.
  • During the song, Jimmy and Sheen can be seen playing the Neutronic Synchronous Mind Instruments from Battle of the Band.
• When Sheen tries different spells to open the secret door he references Karma Chameleon by Culture Club and the song "We Go Together" from the movie Grease.
• This is the last production episode Nick officially wears his original blue leather jacket as a regular outfit in production order, starting in Return of the Nanobots (in production order) he will begin wearing a black leather jacket.
• During the beach party sequence, Libby's scrunchie matches her swimsuit.
• When Jimmy and the others sneak out of the classroom, Butch can be seen sucking his thumb while sleeping at his desk.
• This was the first time where Libby kissed Carl even he is a little nit-witted.
• This episode is ranked #64 during the "Top 100 Greatest Moments In Nicktoon History".
• In this episode we learn that Sheen thinks North Dakota is a myth.
  • Later, it turns out that Carl believed Sheen, when he claimed North Dakota was a myth.
• Libby and her family are apparently into genealogy (i.e., "family trees") and are very knowledgeable about their own ancestries, with Libby claiming that her family can trace their ancestry all the way back to Ancient Egypt, even claiming later on that she's related to Cleopatra. Upon finding Queen Hasabataslapya's tomb and seeing the painting of the queen, Libby and the gang notice how the Queen happens to look identical to Libby (indicating that Libby's related to her).
  • Libby's claims of her family tracing their ancestry all the way back to Ancient Egypt and of being related to Cleopatra indicates that Libby and her family must have not only some Egyptian ancestry, but also Greek -- the latter because, based on studies done on Cleopatra's ethnicity, she was more Greek than Egyptian.
• The lost tomb of the Queen Hazabataslapya is a reference to King Tut's tomb which was lost for 3300 years.
  • It's also stated that the Queen died when she was only 18 -- King Tut's believed to have died at around 19 (after becoming the pharaoh at the age of 9).
• When Jimmy's torch goes out and everyone is in dark showing only their eyes, it's easy to explain that the only one is Libby because we can only see one of her eyes due to the other being completely covered by her bangs.
• The voices of Carl and Sheen become noticeably higher pitched starting with this episode.
• Goddard, Hugh, and Judy don't appear in this episode; however a sand likeness of Goddard appears.
• This and Stranded are the only 22-minute episodes where Goddard doesn't appear, unless you count the sand likeness of him.
• During the beach party clip, the dance Cindy Vortex does is The Swim.
• During the beach party clip, the dance Cindy and Libby do is Walk Like An Egyptian by The Bangles.
• This is the only Season 1 episode to have a 2003 copyright date.
• On CBS All Access (now Paramount+) and many other sources, this episode is listed as the first episode of Season 2.
• Libby's question about Sheen taking "his medicine" before leaving for Egypt implies that Sheen takes some kind of medication (presumably for his hyperactivity).
• Libby's swimsuit is the colors of the Jamaican flag.

Goofs

• The Electro-Life works by re-stimulating brain waves. Since the brain is removed during the mummification process, the ray should never have worked on the mummies.
