"Helicopter" is the nineteenth episode of the fourth season of the Nickelodeon sitcom Drake & Josh. The episode first aired on August 10, 2007.
Drake and Josh begin to talk about their different opinions about listening to their parents to their respective audience, until an apparently stupid guy named Dave comes out of nowhere with his new webcam and ruins their chat. They try to keep talking, but when Dave begins brushing his teeth in front of his cam, they angrily bail. At the Premiere, after Josh tells the movie-goers that the 9 o'clock showing of a movie called Helicopper is opening, Drake asks Josh for two free tickets to see the movie. He wants two free tickets so that he can take a girl. Josh refuses, saying that Drake has to learn how life is not a free ride, so Drake reluctantly ends up having to buy tickets. A few girls let Drake cut in front of them and when Drake asks for 2 tickets, he inadvertently ends up becoming the 100th person to buy 2 tickets to see Helicopper. Drake wins two free tickets and a free trip aboard a real helicopter and a free skydiving lesson. Josh is angry and jealous about how Drake gets everything good, but when Leah tries to tell Josh that good things happen to him too, Josh refuses to believe her, and for good reason; he learns from police that his red 12-speed bike is on fire and faints in dismay.
At home, Walter and Audrey overhear Drake telling his date about the skydiving trip. Thinking that skydiving may be too dangerous for Drake, they refuse to let him do it, angering him so much that he throws the rib that Josh is eating down to the ground. Josh rinses it off. Next morning, Josh comes in the kitchen to drink some juice and finds Audrey boiling some underwear in a saucepan. Josh asks Audrey what she was doing, and Audrey tells him that Walter had wanted to save money, so he bought a bunch of secondhand underwear online and she thought it was gross and disgusting, so she was boiling them. Audrey then tells Josh that he thought he was at the water park with Drake. Josh realizes that Drake told Audrey that he was going to the water park when instead, he was sneaking off to the Heliport. Josh tells Audrey that he forgot about the trip to the water park, and runs away after Drake. Audrey leaves so that she can smash a bug in Megan's shower. Walter stumbles upon the boiling underwear. He doesn't know that the underwear is in there, so he starts drinking the water, but when he sees his underwear in it, he passes out in dismay. Josh finds Drake about to start his skydiving lesson and begs Drake not to go skydive. Drake says he won't jump out. Josh tells him that they were going to the water park, but Drake tells him that Audrey and Walter told him that he couldn't skydive, but they didn't say he couldn't ride the helicopter. Then, the pilot, Vince, invites Josh to come too. Josh agrees, but when they reach 7,000 feet in the air, they run into a bird that Josh claims is extremely intelligent. Drake then prepares to jump out of the helicopter with the parachute. Josh tries to stop him, but they fight over the parachute, so Vince sets the chopper on automatic pilot and tries to break up the fight. However, he ends up hitting his head on the fire extinguisher and gets knocked unconscious by the blow. Drake and Josh are stranded 7,000 feet in the air with no knowledge of how to fly or land the chopper.
