“The Noodle Incident is something from the past that is sometimes referred to but never explained, with the implication that it’s just too ludicrous for words, and the reality that any explanation would fall short of audience expectations.” – TVTropesIt’s an incident in Calvin’s past that is never fully explained, but is presumed to be one of the pranks to end all pranks.
