Dr. Phyllis Show is the twentieth episode of the third season of Drake & Josh. It aired on April 8, 2006.
Plot
Over the course of the Drake and Josh series, the two brothers have been fighting a lot lately, and Megan, getting sick of their fighting keeping her awake at night, gets them tickets to be on the Dr. Phyllis Show (an obvious parody of Dr. Phil and Ellen Degeneres combined). They discuss lots of bad things that have happened between them during the course of the show of how Drake not only take advantage of Josh, but also everyone else too of whoever he can, such as: Drake essentially damaging, but not completely destroying Josh's relationship with his Yudonian e-pal Yooka, with the so-called "friendship ceremony" that was revealed to be a marriage ceremony not long after the ceremony was completed, as well as the various pranks that their sister Megan has pulled on them and the arguments that she has instigated between them.
At one point later on, Josh mentions that one of Drake's biggest flaws is his habit of taking advantage of not just him, but other people for his own personal gain, and reveals to Dr. Phyllis that Drake once dated Liza Tupper purely to make his ex-girlfriend, Tori, jealous, and Drake adds that Liza was "not the smartest wonton on the pu pu platter" and a terrible kisser. After Drake says this, Dr. Phyllis reveals that Liza's her daughter, and of course, becomes understandably furious with Drake, but goes too far when she pulls Drake out of his chair and proceeds to start strangling him and does the same with Josh, but with a sissor-lock.
When Drake and Josh get home, they reminisce all the good times they had together, but soon get into an argument over soda. Drake accidentally got diet and wants Josh to switch with him, but Josh refuses to do so.

Drake: (in a mocking and taunting tone) Yes, Josh. How?
Josh: He's not gonna respect me. He never does!
Dr. Phyllis Tupper: Do not use the word "never," because "never" is just "ever" with an "n" in front of it. (turning to Drake) Drake, please, continue telling us a little bit more about Josh.

Trivia
- Walter Nichols and Audrey Parker-Nichols were absent in this episode, though they appeared in flashbacks.
- Dr. Phyllis is an obvious parody of Dr. Phil and Ellen Degeneres.
- The episode shows no clips from Season 1.
- This is the last episode where Josh is obese.
- This is the last episode of the First Generation.
- Liza Tupper is mentioned for the first time since Playing the Field.
- This is the second episode to feature clips from previous episodes, the first being Peruvian Puff Pepper.
- Near the end of the episode, Drake and Josh claim that Dr. Phyllis only made them talk about only the bad times between but that's untrue, she specificaly said that she wanted them to talk about happier times they shared with each other before the ad break, but they just simply responded negatively without a second thought, so it's likely they forgot she said that.
- At the very beginning of the episode, Megan calls Drake and Josh clowns instead of boobs.
- Mindy's absent and not seen in this episode but she's only seen in the past episode Playing the Field which Drake and Josh flashback to in the clip show.
Goofs
- At the beginning of this episode, Megan said that it was 11:45pm and after she gave Drake and Josh the tickets, said that they would go the next day after school. Would Audrey and Walter really let Drake and Josh stay up as late as 11:45pm on a school night?
- They probably did not know as they could be asleep.
- At the start of the episode when Drake is playing golf in their room, Josh said that Drake destroyed his Kindergarden diploma and that there is no proof. Drake only destroyed the frame not the diploma itself.
- Drake should have realized that Dr. Phyllis is related to Liza as she said her full name, Phyllis Tupper, but he could have also believed that she was related to different family with the last name Tupper. It is a common thing in real life: there are families with the same last name, but are not related to each other.
- At the end of the episode, Drake mentions how Dr. Phyliss did not make them think of the good times they had, but just before the first commercial break, Dr. Phyllis tells them to think of happier times.
- They probably were too focused on the negatives to pay attention.
- When Dr. Phyllis fights Drake and Josh on set, a man is heard off-screen yelling "Security!". It is surprising that security didn't actually arrive on set and break up the fight, although they could've arrived to break up the fight off screen.
