As well liked as SuperMarioLogan is, sometimes he produces moments we hate more than Jeffy hates green beans.

Keep in mind:

  • Sign your entries.
  • One moment per work to a troper; if multiple entries for the same work are signed to the same troper, the more recent one(s) will be cut. For subpages that cover multiple works, it's permissible for one troper to have entries for more than one work.
  • Moments only, no "just everything he said", "the entire episode", or "this entire work," entries.
  • No contesting entries. This is subjective, the entry is their opinion.
  • No natter. As above, anything contesting an entry will be cut, and anything that's just contributing more can be made its own entry.
  • Explain why it's a invoked Dethroning Moment of Suck.
  • No ALLCAPS, no bold, and no italics unless it's the title of a work. We are not yelling the DMoSs out loud.
  • Please no He Panned It, Now He Sucks!. Someone having a different opinion than you or a small snarky jab towards a franchise you like is not nearly a good enough justification for something being seen as stupid or offensive.
  • Creator's works only. No personal experiences or moments on the creators themselves.

  • TomPhanto: I used to enjoy SuperMarioLogan, But I felt the series started to go downhill when Jeffy, a mentally handicapped kid who was dumped on Mario's doorstep in "Mario The Babysitter!" became one of the most recurring characters, second only to Bowser Jr. The real DMoS here is, "Jeffy's Bad Word!" I personally dislike Jeffy episodes because most of them are just making Mario miserable. The episode starts off with Mario driving to Walmart and he yells at a homeless guy that gets in his way, accidentally calling him a "faggot". Jeffy then starts saying it because he likes the word. And as expected, the episode is about Mario getting into trouble because Jeffy won't stop saying "faggot". What makes this a DMoS for me is what happens at the end. Mario gives Jeffy a spanking because he wouldn't stop saying "faggot". Mario is arrested, accused of child molestation, and is registered as a felon and sex offender, all just for trying to discipline Jeffy. I know Mario's supposed to be a Butt-Monkey in this show, but I felt the episode went way too far with the abuse.
  • Meta Master 54610: You'd think Logan would have learned his lesson from the fiasco Jeffy's Bad Word caused. He knew full well how loathed that video was, so you'd think he'd know better than to create Jeffy's Bad Word 2.0 in the form of 'Locked Out'. The plot of the video is that Mario is trying to get Jeffy to eat his peas, promising him chocolate cake if he eats his peas. Rather than eating his peas, Jeffy pours them onto his high chair seat and tries to lie to Mario about it. When Mario rightfully denies him chocolate cake for not actually eating his dinner, Jeffy throws a tantrum. Admittedly, it was a dick move to have Mario eat a piece of chocolate cake in front of Jeffy, but what happens next is disproportionate retribution at its finest. Jeffy tricks Mario into going outside, then locks him out so he can steal the cake. He locks all the doors and traps Mario outside. In this video, Jeffy clearly has malicious intent, and knows exactly what he's doing. Mario is locked outside in the cold, trying everything he can to get back inside. And then the Brooklyn Guy shows up, and when he shows up in a Jeffy video, you immediately know Mario is in for a bad time. The Brooklyn Officer thinks that Mario is trying to break into the house, and when he talks to Jeffy about it, the little bastard lies and says he's never seen Mario before in his life. Of course the Brooklyn Guy takes Jeffy's word over Mario's and threatens to arrest him if he ever goes near his own house again. Mario is rightfully pissed at this point, mumbling threats to assault and murder Jeffy, and honestly, after everything Jeffy's done to him, it's hard to blame him for wanting revenge. He tries to get inside through the air vents, and ends up crashing down on the floor, seemingly unconscious. Jeffy sees Mario lying on the floor, and, infuriatingly, grabs him and literally throws him back outside without a word. Eventually, Mario begs Jeffy to just let him inside, which Jeffy refuses to do unless Mario gets him more chocolate cake. So Mario does get another chocolate cake... Which Mario hides in so that he can get inside. When Mario pops out of the cake, he chases Jeffy in a rage... And gets locked out again. And of course it ends with him getting arrested and Jeffy getting off scott-free for his actions, because Logan refuses to freaking punish this kid for the awful things he does. This is honestly the video that cemented my absolute loathing of Jeffy as a character. He's nothing more than a braindead, unfunny little sociopath that exists for the sole purpose of making Mario's life a complete and utter nightmare, and he's well aware of that fact. I am very disappointed in Logan. I thought he would have known better after the last time he made a video where Mario was unfairly tormented because of Jeffy...
  • FlyingDuckManGenesis: As much as I like SuperMarioLogan, there is one character I can't stand in the least, and that is post-Flanderization Mr. Goodman. I hate him more than I hate Jeffy, and "Chef Pee Pee's Restaurant!", in my opinion, is the episode where he's at his absolute worst. While I admit there were some moments I liked in the episode, such as the menu that Junior drew in crayon and Junior accidentally spilling the drinks he meant to give to the customers, the episode was still very bad. The moment in the episode I disliked the most, however, was when Chef Pee Pee asked Mr. Goodman for a $50,000.00 loan from his bank so he could start his own restaurant, since he doesn't have enough money himself to do so. What does Goodman do about it? He brings out $50,000.00 and lights it on fire! That, in my opinion, was the moment where Goodman crossed the Moral Event Horizon, especially considering that money could have been used for many other useful things, like buying meals for starving families.
  • fanboy95: Originally, my DMOS was Cody's off-screen mass rape from "The Remote!", but SML managed to one-up Cody in the unethical behaviour department. In "Sicken", Bowser Junior is sick with the flu and Chef Pee Pee, hoping they'll die from the flu (since this was made at the time of the early 2018 flu epidemic), lets Junior invite Joseph and Cody to his house. Cody, as always, leaves Ken unguarded which gives Junior the idea to throw him out the window and break him. Naturally, Cody's distressed but suddenly, and I do mean suddenly, he goes on a murderous rampage and tries to kill Chef Pee Pee, Joseph and Bowser, reasoning that Cody now has to kill someone Junior loves and tries to make him choose. That's bad enough on its own, but what really seals it is the ending: Junior manages to stop Cody simply by saying he loves him as a friend and sappy music begins to play in the background and, even worse, all Cody gets for it is catching Junior's flu when he should've received worse consequences. Just... what? Not only did Cody acquire a willingness to commit murder out of nowhere despite warning Junior against doing anything that could kill someone in episodes like "Evil Chef Pee Pee!" and "The Magical Button!", but the episode seems to make you feel sorry for him despite the fact that he actively attempted murder over a doll that he genuinely believes Junior murdered. Needless to say, I've liked Cody even less than I did following "The Remote!" after this episode.
  • Cabbit Girl Emi: I think I found something just as bad, if not worse, than infanticide from Bowser Jr.'s Playtime 5. That would be Goodman's moments in "Jeffy's Driver's License". When Mario accidentally hits his Lambo while driving Jeffy somewhere (sound familiar?), Goodman demands to illegally take his license away, which he does by bribing Brooklyn Cop. This leads to a half-decent story where B.C. gets Jeffy to take a driver's exam despite being 14 years old, and he actually passes. Now it seems that Mario can finally get a break, right? Nope! The final test was the McDonald's Happy Meal test, and since Jeffy didn't get B.C. a toy, the latter revokes Jeffy's new license. If that wasn't bad enough, Goodman barges in to rub sending Mario's license into the Sun right in the plumber's face. Just when I thought I couldn't hate present-day Goodman any more, Logan and Lance seem to find ways to dig deeper. He would only be amusing if he gets consequences for his actions, but that unfortunately it seems it won't happen anytime soon. Nor would his apparent Irrational Hatred of Mario ever go away...
  • Big Jimbo: Maybe this is relatively minor (and it really only made me unsure if I should watch these videos, instead of swearing to never watch them again), but I'm listing it: I was annoyed by the fact that in one video, Logan made a Take That, Critics! joke about how people who hated his videos were among the worst people in the world. I get that it's a joke, but it's a really stupid one: I can take playful pokes at your hatedom, but this just seems petty and makes him look like he's a conceited jackass (which I don't want to think he is, but between this, the constant "Jeffy tortures Mario" videos, and some other entries, I have no idea what to do). I mean eff... I know people on YouTube want to be famous, but this is taking it too far, and the only way this can make sense is if Chilly Jimenez, who's responsible for Jeffy's Creator's Pet status, was behind this.
  • Tropers/savagegenius: My dethroning moment would be the end of "The School Project"(-which, by the way, is barely anything like the title sounds). So after being tortured throughout the entire episode in a giant one-sided argument just for crashing a toy helicopter, Cody's mom gets tired of Junior's bickering and just tells Cody to swallow his pride and apologize for breaking the helicopter AGAIN. And then this leads to a half-assed, no-effort, bullcrap apology from Junior. Sorry, Logan, but I don't need you to make fun of being bullied while nobody attempts to help, while instead just forcefully get the two parties to make up. Also, you do know that in these kinds of episodes, the argument should never be one-sided, right? Yeah, this episode is bull. It's like that Peppa Pig episode "The Quarrel," but worse.
  • Mildude: I myself am quite neutral with SML, considering the Broken Base regarding the channel. But my DMoS here would have to be from "Jeffy's Cat Piano Problem!". It begins with Mario and Rosalina casually talking until Jeffy interrupts them with his cat piano, singing about diarrhea. This pisses Mario off and he tells the boy to stop. But Jeffy, being Jeffy, keeps singing. This causes Mario to take away his cat piano and hide it behind the green beans in the pantry. It would've been satisfactory if it had simply ended there, but no, Jeffy simply can't get punished in his own episodes. This causes Junior to show up while Jeffy explains that Mario took away his cat piano, and Junior says that he is willing to help him find it. At first they look all over the house, then try to get Mario to tell them where it is, before they hatch a plan to shrink Jeffy and make him enter Mario's brain. After he enter's Mario's brain, he makes him do idiotic things like throw his green beans around and wear a diaper before asking Rosalina where the cat piano is. She tells him, and Jeffy finally leaves Mario's brain. When Mario finds out that he got the piano back, he tries telling Rosalina that he shouldn't have it back, but Rosalina calls him out for lying. Ultimately this leads to the Downer Ending where Jeffy continues to sing about diarrhea and shits his pants. Bonus points for this taking place after "Jeffy's Parents", the video where Jeffy promises to be a good boy from now on despite later videos saying otherwise.
  • Red The Hedgehog:SML has reached the deep end for me following their most recent output. The puppets being introduced aside, I had a really hard time deciding what I wanted to be my personal dethroning moment, as there were two videos in particular that I want to highlight. The video "Cody's Bad Word" (an entire video where Junior and Joseph bully Cody for him saying the word "inward" that is misinterpreted by Joseph and Junior as a racial slur), but I think what gets me the most is one joke from the most recent video at the time of this entry being written. The video "Goldilocks" featured an SML adaptation of the "Goldilocks and Three Bears" story, featuring a ton of unfunny jokes and filler, but what gets my blood boiling and makes the video my own personal dethroning moment is the character Penelope saying that Cody (dressed like Goldilocks), looks like, her words not mine, a "God Damn Tranny". It's 2022, and Logan still thinks that transphobia is funny. Fuck this video.
  • Cabin Of Chaos:I can literally explain for hours on how badly No Invite! pissed me off. Basically, Cody doesn't invite Junior and Joseph to his ceremony and they decide to ruin his ceremony anyway because he didn't invite them. You can make the argument on how Cody technically brought this upon himself for telling them about the ceremony in the first place, but that doesn't excuse the amount of torture he gets in this video. But for me, my personal dethroning moment is the ending, where Junior straight up gaslights Cody into thinking this was his fault for not inviting them. But then Junior says this line that really pisses me off: "We're not going to apologize to you, for anything, because we didn't do anything wrong." Need I remind you that this was said by the same person who bullies Cody and his mom on a daily basis, constantly beats him up, continuously told him that he hated him, tried to burn his house down over a piggy bank once and outright stated that he enjoyed seeing him suffering at one point. Ain't that hypocritical, considering how he believes he did nothing wrong, even though he literally bullied Cody in this episode? It's episodes like these that make me really question why Cody just won't burn the bridges with these two.
