That something turns out to be Timmy himself, as his parents both go to save him when he gets attacked by a sea monster. However, since they both can't be the best, Timmy's parents become locked in a never-ending surfing competition that can't be broken until they find something that's more important than surfing. "Beach Blanket Bozos" has Timmy wish that his parents were the best surfers ever during their vacation to Hawaii.So the message is largely "guys and girls are fine without each other, until they get bored and horny." Not to mention the unpleasant undertones of implying that a world where the genders are separated is entirely loveless. Each section of the world is also a heavily stereotyped version of itself, and when they finally meet, they go to war with each other until Cupid skewers them with arrows and forces them to fall in love. This is executed by Timmy wishing to separate the genders, who are ultimately satisfied with this arrangement until they find some mysterious "void" in their life they can't fill. " Love Struck!" is trying to provide a message about the world can't function properly without love. However, every gag in the show relies on the opposite assumption, such as the assertion that boys and girls speak mutually unintelligible languages (even at the end, when Timmy is giving the Aesop, Trixie needs a translator to understand what he's saying).
