2-> Mario tries to buy a new phone plan from Swag at T-Mobile.
3
4Mario goes to the T-Mobile phone store to update his phone's data plan to make international calls. Meanwhile, in a bid to outdo Chris and win Employee Of The Month, Swagmaster makes the mistake of selling Mario a military-based phone from which he inadvertently uses to launch a nuke headed towards the Mushroom Kingdom, forcing the plumber to stop the missile and get back home safely in an [[ComicBook/IronMan "experimental phone plan"]] suit with limited power.
5----
6* AccidentalMurder: Mario throws the nuke at Mars so it won't destroy the Earth. Unknown to him, he accidentally threw it at a colony of aliens worshipping a door.
7* AndYouThoughtItWasAGame: Mario plays a tank game on Swag's military phone. SmashCut to an actual Toad village, with the reveal that Mario is unknowingly controlling a real tank and destroying an innocent village. [[FromBadToWorse Then he presses the nuke button.]]
8* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Swag advertises his military phone as enabling the user to take over the world, defeat their enemies, and make international calls. The last one is what excites Mario, given that it's the one thing he came in for in the first place.
9* ArtisticLicenseSpace: Mario's mech suit runs out of power in the middle of space, causing him to fall to the nearest planet. Space doesn't have gravity, so Mario should have just sat motionless in place.
10* CallBack:
11** The name and premise of the episode are both taken from a skit in "[[Recap/SMG4SMG4ExpandsHisBrain SMG4 πŸ…΄πŸ†‡πŸ…ΏπŸ…°πŸ…½πŸ…³πŸ†‚ His Brain]]" where ''Luigi'' went to T-Mobile to upgrade his data plan, albeit with Whimpu as the employee instead of Chris or Swagmaster.
12** Swag tries selling Mario a data plan that comes with a free year subscription of Shrek Online, the game Mario and [=SMG3=] were playing in "[[Recap/SMG4VideoEndsWhenEveryoneStopsWatching Video Ends When Everyone Stops Watching]]".
13* DisproportionateRetribution: When [=SMG4=] finally stops doing his EnforcedPlug, it's revealed Chris was moments away from shooting him.
14* DoWrongRight: Mario [[OhCrap panics]] when he gets caught putting memes on the display phones and quickly tries fixing them, only for Swag to put a different meme on instead of getting mad at Mario.
15* EmployeeOfTheMonth: Chris claims he'll win it since Swag is slacking off, causing Swag to suddenly snap and begin assisting Mario.
16* EnforcedPlug: [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]]. While normally the channel features sponsorships at the beginning before the episodes, [=SMG4=] actually starts promoting Shrek Online, a [[ShowWithinAShow fictional]] game, in the middle of the episode. This weirds out Chris, who [[DisproportionateRetribution almost shoots him]].
17* EveryoneHasStandards: Mario usually doesn't care all that much about the destruction and carnage he causes in a video. But he's absolutely horrified upon realizing that he unwittingly launched nukes from Swag's phone, and immediately tries to find a way out of his predicament.
18* FunWithForeignLanguages: Mario uses Swag's phone to try ordering an "Italian spaghetti pizza" from the Italian militia. His bizarre order and strange dialect causes the militia to misinterpret his request and blow up the pizza shop instead.
19* LetsGetDangerous: Initially, Swag doesn't care about his job at the phone store. But when Chris taunts him by saying he'll be winning EmployeeOfTheMonth, Swag does his darndest to make sure he outdoes Chris.
20* OhCrap: Mario ''panics'' when he realizes that he accidentally put everyone's lives in danger by launching nukes thanks to his new "phone".
21* SequelEpisode: It's revealed near the end that this is actually a sequel to Mario Gets His Pingas Stuck In a Car Door when Mario crashes into the Alien Planet as they are praying to a large door.
22* SerialEscalation: As per usual, given the title of the episode.
23* ShaggyDogStory: After an adventure that dooms a planet to be swallowed by darkness, Mario forgot to upgrade his phone plan in the end. Mario can only scream in frustration after Luigi reminds him right as the video concludes.
24-->'''Mario:''' '''''[[AtomicFBomb FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-]]'''''
25* ShoutOut:
26** The grand door on Mars uses the same model as the door to Kingdom Hearts from [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI the first game]]. On top of that, when Luigi comes to save Mario from the cosmic horror within, the latter is floating supine in the darkness in the exact same manner as that series' protagonists do on the GameOver screen.
27** Luigi activates Advanced Flight Mode in order to go save Mario; which transforms his Phone into the ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 00 Gundam]]''.
28* TransformingMecha: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]]. Luigi turns on "advanced flight mode" on his phone, causing it to suddenly transform into a HumongousMecha suit.
