Kirby vs. Dedede
Gourmet Race
- King Dedede establishing his modest nature:Announcer: On the left, our twelve-time champion, our Royal Highness, King Dedede!
Dedede: Hyeh heh heh! Bring in the applause! (audience begins clapping) I said bring in the applause. (audience claps slightly louder) - When Dedede calls himself a "penguin hunk", his speaking portrait briefly switches to a render of his "buff" form from Star Allies.
- At the end of the race, the song's tempo is reduced to a pitifully slow speed to fit the now winded-out Dedede. Just as he's about to get the last melon and hopefully win, he passes out, with Kirby just dropping in to eat it.
- After Kirby wins, Dedede lets out a very winded "I'm gonna get you, Kirby…"
Dedede's Theme
- The implication that Dedede stole all the food in Dream Land just to get back at Kirby for beating him in the Gourmet Race.
- Barely halfway into the video, Kirby sucks up one of the Waddle Dees and gains the Parasol ability. Unlike the games, Dedede is horrified from watching Kirby's ability to do this, and immediately fakes an injury, forfeits the match and lets Kirby leave with all the food.
- When Dedede asks Kirby if he just ate the Waddle Dee and "stole his soul", Kirby simply gives a cheerful "Puyo!" in response, as if he didn't see anything wrong about that.
Kirby vs. Everyone - Boss Battle
- Dedede finds it beneficial that Kirby eats most of the monsters he sends, since that means he doesn't have to pay them for beating him. Escargoon then reminds him that Nightmare Enterprises will bill them anyways, leading a panicked Dedede to offer one of his subjects to fight Kirby instead.
- Kirby sucks up Kawasaki and then sucks up all the monsters and the teleporter bringing them into the arena into a pot to make a giant flan cake. Nightmare Enterprises isn't gonna like this one.
- Quite a good Freeze-Frame Bonus or two for this moment: Cuphead, Sonic, Jevil and Customer Service himself are among the monsters Kirby bakes into the cake.
- The ending, where Meta Knight introduces himself as another Star Warrior like Kirby, and Dedede for some reason begins consistently calling him "Sky Baby 2" from this point on as if it were his actual name. Meta Knight just decides to go with it for now.
Meta Knight
- The introductory dialogue where Dedede introduces Kirby to the Halberd scheme, and firmly establishes Meta Knight's role in all of this madness:Dedede: You done it now, pink boy! You made me use my secret super ship!
Escargoon: Your ship, sire?
Dedede: Yeah, the… uh, what's the ship called again?
Meta Knight: The Halberd.
Dedede: Yeah! The Hairbird! (That's a terrible name for a ship, Sky Baby 2.)
Meta Knight: Please don't call me that… - The video's interpretation of the Helper mechanic:Sailor Waddle Dee: Hi, Kirby! I'm your eternal slave now! What's mine is yours! I'd die for you! I WILL DIE FOR YOU.
- Meta Knight's clearly disturbed reaction to it:Dedede: Uh… can all'a you sky babies do that?
Meta Knight: God, I hope not.
- Meta Knight's clearly disturbed reaction to it:
- The Parasol Waddle Dee helper fails to beat the Heavy Lobster and dies heroically (for lack of a better word). Kirby absorbs his ability and finishes off the mech within mere seconds.Sailor Waddle Dee: I have served my purpose…!
- Meta Knight gives Kirby a sword for their final duel, and Escargoon ensures Dedede that Kirby can't inhale anyone while using a weapon, leading Dedede to throw several extra swords at Kirby. With Meta Knight in the path.Dedede: Hey, Kirby! Have a bunch more swords! This one! And that one! And this one—
Meta Knight: (angrily rushes into Dedede's personal space) Stop. Please. Never do anything again.
Dedede: Awww… - After beating Meta Knight in a fair duel and breaking his mask, Kirby then randomly proceeds to use his sword and Warp Star to destroy the rest of the Halberd's parts for literally no reason.Meta Knight: Kirby, what are you doing? I said you won!
Kirby: (in a playful tone, as if to say, "Yeah, I know") Puyo… - Dedede accidentally rubs salt into the would by telling Meta Knight to his face that he looks far less threatening now that his mask was broken by Kirby.
- Not that Escargoon is any better at reassuring Meta Knight:Escargoon: Now, now, you tried your best, and ya failed! And that's what matters.
- Not that Escargoon is any better at reassuring Meta Knight:
Masked Dedede
- Dedede reminiscing on how he put on Meta Knight's broken mask to make himself look tougher, only for Kirby to suck it up. "Then Sky Baby 2 cried louder."
- Dedede being so desperate to get one over on Kirby that he counts the times he was Brainwashed and Crazy by foes like Dark Matter as opportunities he had to beat the pink puffball.Dedede: That wasn't my idea, though. Just kinda happened.
- The fact that Dedede's Training Montage of strategizing, exercise and eating something healthy on his pienote lasted only three hours— even when desiring self-improvement, Dedede still can't stop being lazy or impatient. On the other hand, it was enough to result in his new "ultra-charged" look, so something about it had to be effective.
- How does Dedede prompt Kirby to fight him this time?Dedede: Hey, Kirby! I stole your awful cake!
Kirby: Puyo! - After the heartwarming/tear-jerking sequence of the Waddle Dees reassuring King Dedede that, despite everything, they still view him as their true king, we get this exchange:Dedede: Oh, guys! Let's go home and feed me a pie!
Bandana Waddle Dee: No can do, sire. You burned the place down with that final attack.
Meta Knight: (riding atop a Waddle Dee, still missing his mask) Don't worry, everyone's safe.
Escargoon: (cheerfully) And homeless!
Marx
- After Marx blows a hole (and then some) through the side of Castle Dedede 2, the portrait of Dedede in the background looks to the side in shock.
- Likewise, the destruction of Dedede's castle is accompanied with a "boom", per the subtitles. The destruction of the new Halberd is accompanies with a "boom 2: electric boomgaloo".
- Dedede chuckling at Marx's proclamation of being the new ruler, claiming that the Cappies would be too loyal to defect before they bow down and shout, "Praise Marx!"
- One of them tries to stand up to the clown. She doesn't succeed.Dedede: C'mon, Cappies! Don't any a' you got any loyalty to your royalty?
Cappy: I'm with ya, King Dedede! You can take this guy! He doesn't even have arms—
(Marx blasts the Cappy with fire, subtitles say "Marx Rule #1: Don't Mention the Arms")
Cappy: All glory to Marx! - As Dedede stares wide-eyed at Marx's takeover, one of the Waddle Dees still holds out a pie for him. Dedede takes it without even making eye contact.
- "It was my biggest nightmare. Marx-ism had invaded Dream Land."
- One of them tries to stand up to the clown. She doesn't succeed.
- Escargoon's other reason for following Dedede and Meta Knight's strike-back-at-Marx operation as opposed to sticking around at Cappy Town is he apparently has "an extreme jester-phobia".
- Dedede expresses how impressed he was by Meta Knight's plan of attack against Marx… before remarking that Kirby ate it. So Meta Knight wrote it again. Kirby ate it again. So Meta Knight wrote it on Kirby.
- Before Marx shows up, the crew is shown having a pre-battle picnic with Meta Knight shrouded in his cape, Dedede about to eat a pie, Escargoon conversing with the others, and the Waddle Dees having fun eating. Immediately after Marx kidnaps Kirby, the scene is altered to have Meta Knight facepalming due to Kirby falling for Marx's trap, Dedede and Escargoon staring off towards the escaping Marx in horror (with the former still in the same pose as before)… and the Waddle Dees doing the exact same things as before, somehow not noticing any of what just happened.
- By the way, how does Marx manage to get Kirby all to himself?Marx: Hey, Kirby! I stole your awful cake!
Kirby: (very angrily) PUYO—! - When Dedede and the crew begin running after Kirby and Marx, Escargoon is notably lagging behind them. Because, y'know, he's a snail.
- By the way, how does Marx manage to get Kirby all to himself?
- Dedede arrives to save Kirby from Marx just in time, makes a short speech… then collapses on his face out of exhaustion.Dedede: Hyeh… hyeh… made it. I knew takin' that shortcut through that Kracko-storm was a good idea. Prepare to be struck down by the mighty Dedede… (collapses)
Marx: Aw, geez. Dessert is here and I haven't even finished the main course… - Dedede describing his current relationship with Kirby:Dedede: Eh, I'm done with Kirby. He's my subject now. I rule in my castle, and he eats the animals in the forest that start fights with him. (as Marx does a wall-eyed Aside Glance) Mostly birds. Lotta dumb birds. Lotta dumb, dead birds.
Marx: But what happens when he's eaten them all?
Dedede: (genuinely surprised) He… he can do that? - Kirby saves the day by sucking up everyone like Marx warned. Well, sort of— Marx just didn't expect it to be that abrupt.Marx: Well… didn't see that coming.
(Kirby cycles through his abilities before settling on Crash)
Marx: Oh beans.
(explosion happens, subtitles say "boom 3: clown killing edition") - After the battle, Kirby goes on an adventure, culminating in him wishing on a clockwork star that, per the subtitles, is definitely Nova and not Star Dream because Nova is a pain to draw.
- After being inhaled by Kirby, Dedede and the Waddle Dees are shown to have some PTSD. Dedede considers getting the Star Rod.
Roar of Dedede/Masked & Wild: DDD
- Dedede brags about how he's stronger than ever before now that he's joined the Beast Pack. Even more so than that time he grew abs. Kirby's response is a very deadpan "Puyo" as if to say, "Oh, please…"
- "Die to the mighty King Dedede… AND THIS PILLAR I RIPPED OFF THE WALL!"
- Unfortunately, said pillar breaks due to Dedede's own error. Kirby laughs in response.
- After Kirby beats Dedede's first form, an Awoofy gives Dedede a letter from the Beast Pack with a mask attached to it.Dedede: "Dear King Dedede…" (beat) …the rest is just paw prints and shredded paper. Thanks?
- "Your goose is cooked now, Kirby! Mmm… cooked goose… NO! FOCUS!"
- Forgo Dedede is a riot here. "Now me am that monstah to clobbah that there Kirby!"
- "Who need be king anyway? Me rather eat grass and roll around in mud… but me have priorities! Gotta earn mud!"
- These lyrics:Me know what stop this meddling kid!
Gonna do the same moves that me already did!
Plan is smart and perfect, me no see any flaws!
Dedede so clever everybody give him applause! - At the end, he remarks that "Wild King Dedede never, ever be tamed!" as Kirby defeats him and the subtitles go, "Wild King Dedede be tamed".Forgo Dedede: Me am… extinct…
- Dedede's more-annoyed-than-horrified reaction to being Brainwashed and Crazy for the umpteenth time:Waddle Dee: Sire, you're back! Thank goodness for the healing power of blunt force trauma!
Dedede: Ugh, did I get controlled by a mysterious evil force again? Aw man, I hate it when that happens! It's so itchy!
Cuphead songs
Baking the Wondertart
- A small moment while Saltbaker has grown giant sized. Namely once he's taken a few hits from the pepper shakers he's summoned being thrown back at him. He starts blaming them and follows up with an amusing pun.Chef Saltbaker: It's all you pepper shakers fault!
STOP HITTING ME! THIS IS A-SALT! - After the song is finished and Saltbaker is defeated, the Chef admits his defeat and offers the Wondertart once he finishes up baking it with Cuphead's soul. For a brief moment, Mugman and Chalice are caught up in their victory and accept the wondertart before realizing their mistake. Right when Saltbaker's about to put in Cuphead!Chef Saltbaker: All right, you can have the tart once I finish baking it. (Holds up the jar with Cuphead's soul) Here goes the last ingredient...
Mugman: Yeah! A hero's reward!
(Mugman and Chalice's faces go from triumph to horror to the sound of a cracking cup with the very brief subtitle ''Mistaking The Wondertart'')
Mugman and Chalice: WAIT, NO! WE WANT CUPHEAD BACK!
Chef Saltbaker: You guys are no fun... (tosses over the still bottled Cuphead)
Doggone Dogfight
- Miss Chalice first spotting the Yankee Yippers results in Cuteness Proximity with her cooing over the puppies. That is, until one of them beans her with a tennis ball.Miss Chalice: Aww, there's Puppies!
(Chalice gets smacked with a tennis ball)
Miss Chalice: (Charges Finger Gun with a Slasher Smile) Aww, there's gonna be spectral puppies!
Snow Cult Scuffle
- Cuphead leaves a very poor first impression on Mortimer Freeze. He shoots a hole in the doorman to break into the ice palace. Unfortunately for Mugman, his attempt to try and smooth things over by asking for the sugar cubes also falls flat as they're Mortimer's power source. It makes Mortimer's choice to dismember them almost look reasonable, and Mugman's reaction shows he knows it.Mortimer Freeze: So let me get this straight. You shoot my doorman. You break into my palace. And now you wanna walk away with MY POWER SOURCE?
Mugman (Nervous smile) Yeeeess?
Mortimer Freeze: Then I got one more question for ya...WANNA BE DISMEMBERED, WANNA BE DISMEMBERED?!
Pizza Tower songs
It's Pizza Time!
- Peppino's ongoing visible distress is amusing, but so is his incompetence— he's seemingly playing John Gutter, the starter level, and has somehow missed the Mushroom Toppin, which is sitting in plain sight one screen to the right.
- Peppino's major doubts of his ranking is Hilarious in Hindsight given how much he becomes a Glory Seeker in later songs. The Motor Mouth delivery of the line also helps.Peppino: P-Rank? Buddy you-a cuckoo crazy! I'm gonna get a C-Rank. (Or a D-Rank if I'm lazy)
- At one point, Peppino asks if Gustavo and Mr. Stick abandoned him, then he thinks they've been captured or worse. Gustavo and Stick then reappear at the door, acknowledging that yes, they really did just bail on Peppino.
- RecD plays Peppino with a consistant Italian accent throughout the song and acting segments. However, he briefly drops the accent in shock at seeing guest star Mort the Chicken.
- Peppino is about ready to cut his losses and join Gustavo and Mr. Stick in the exit door when he finally spots the last toppin. Despite his anxiety It doesn't take Peppino long to decide what to do.Peppino: You got it-a! I'll be right—(Peppinotice) Wait-a. There it is! THE LAST-A TOPPIN!
Mr. Stick: Peppino, are you insane?!
Peppino: (Dashing toward the Mushroom toppin) YEEEES!!!!! - Peppino stops at the door to make sure he's got everything... unfortunately, he has.Peppino: Okay... I got-a the Toppins, I got-a the ranking, I got-a to the door. Is anything I'm-a forgetting?
Pizza Face: ME!!!
Peppino: EEYAAA—! (*Smash to Black*)
The Death I Deservioli
- Peppino reveals he's still on John Gutter after three hours... solely for a Bragging Rights Reward. He also has a cheeseslime on a leash for the sole purpose of punching it just to keep his combo up.Cheeseslime: WHY CAN I FEEL PAIN I'M JUST CHEESE
- A Forknight captain begs Peppino for mercy. Peppino, upset that the Forknights have interrupted his P-Rank attempts dozens of times, uppercuts the Forknight so hard he loses his eyeballs.Peppino: I will... launch you... INTO THE SUN!
- Upset that Gerome is taking a break, Peppino picks up Gerome and hurls him through the janitor-only door, which promptly explodes with a stock explosion animation a la Deltarune.
- Peppino is so sure he's getting his P-Rank... only for the Forknight he launched to land on him just before receiving the P-Rank, costing him the rank. He slowly laughs without meaning it, prompting the Forknight to join in worriedly. At which point Peppino snaps again, laugh-shrieking in rage while he throttles the Forknight, crushing his armor like a soda can.
Pizza Time Never Ends
- The promo
for the video is a commercial for Peppino's Pizza 2, showing all the ingredients you can remove: apples, salt, ice, (broken) glass, an entire pig, and dirt.Fake Peppino: But wait, there's less! Call yesterday and receive a complimentary cheese! - Peppino discovers Peppinos Pagheti, a Bizarro Universe-style clone of himself. His response is the closest RecD has come to allowing outright profanity in a song since "funk".Peppino: WHAT-A-DA FOCACCIA ARE YOU?!
- The fake Peppino turns out to be equal parts ridiculous goofball and homicidal lunatic, as exemplified by the following line:Fake Peppino: Dough, you missed! Go towards the choking hand, little Toppin!
Peppino: I'm a grown man!
Fake Peppino: Really? They grew me, too! - Peppino escapes his impostor, only to get beaned by the falling key and offering a Non Sequitur, *Thud* before passing out.Peppino: Ah, spaghetti… (Peppinout)
- Fake Peppino immediately thinks to 'suck up a sample' from Peppino's balding head, turning his finger into a vacuum cleaner. The captions are baffled and disturbed by this.(Why can he do that.
Why would he do that.) - After taking his sample, Fake Peppino decides to "synthesize a middling life crisis" and proceeds to air a low-budget pizzeria commercial, but in his own weird and surreal way. This includes lines like "Pizza is inevitable, your skin is stuffed crust" and "lose hope today and accept your final restauranting location."
- At the end, Fake Peppino experiences an existential crisis:Fake Peppino: Peppino's Pizza 2! Two! 'Nothing compares!' Two! …Wait, nothing compares? Am I as bad as nothing? Oh my god, is this really how I live the rest of my life— Two!"
- At the end, Fake Peppino experiences an existential crisis:
- Instead of the usual sign-off song, RecD has been superseded by a Fake RecD. Unfortunately for RecD, Fake RecD is even more deranged and Off-Model than Fake Peppino, meaning his sign-off song is comedy gold.Fake RecD: Hey! If-a you liked this song, then YOU CANNOT HIDE. (Sub to the bell!)
Watch-a me say "games" weekends at night WHILE ALIVE! (I am well!)
Check! In-a my Patreon for special regrets! (Front of the scenes!)
Lose-a me on Twitter and be my Discord guest! (End scream!)
Fake RecD: So? What don't-a you think? Did I kidnap the job?
RecD: That was awful, man. What even is an "end scream"?
Fake RecD: This! (ejects his head, revealing a glaring brain)
RecD: HUAGH—! (Smash to Black again)
Make Some Noise (original song)
- This promo short for the video shows off the history between The Noise and Peppino via a scene from the Noise's old NTV show back in the 90's (the one that got him cancelled).
- The clip shows the Noise pulling a prank on a younger Peppino from when he had just recently opened his restaurant. Peppino puts a pizza on the windowsill to cool it down, and the Noise prepares his Pizza Crusher to squash said pizza… only to instead riddle Peppino with his minigun. The Noise then tries to claim that Peppino can't charge him with aggravated assault because he didn't shoot Peppino with bullets, but instead with ground sausage at the speed of bullets. Thankfully, he was nice enough to miss the vital organs on purpose!Peppino: Ugh… this isn't even-a good sausage!
Noise: Hey, hey, hey! NTV may use the worst links money can buy, but you'll always be the biggest weenie of all! Woag-woag-woag-woag!
Peppino: I HATE YOU, THE NOISE! - According to the Twitter post, this is the only surviving episode of the old NTV show. The other VHS tapes found at the Noise's house had "milk?" covered over them.
- The clip shows the Noise pulling a prank on a younger Peppino from when he had just recently opened his restaurant. Peppino puts a pizza on the windowsill to cool it down, and the Noise prepares his Pizza Crusher to squash said pizza… only to instead riddle Peppino with his minigun. The Noise then tries to claim that Peppino can't charge him with aggravated assault because he didn't shoot Peppino with bullets, but instead with ground sausage at the speed of bullets. Thankfully, he was nice enough to miss the vital organs on purpose!
- The infamous "THIS ISN'T MILK" meme makes an appearance, complete with a hilarious look of sheer horror on Peppino's face—in this instance, it's Noisette's cooking, all blended together and dyed white. All of this is, as described below, for the dance.
- Noise invites the bosses to come kick Peppino while he's down. They take him up on this offer, very literally booting the unfortunate Peppino around while he's incapacitated after drinking the not-milk. Pizza Head even shows up wearing a Brown Bag Mask reading "Totally Not The Final Boss" just to perform an impossible cartoonish curb stomp.Peppino: What the hell, Noise?! This isn't a dance!
- Before the Noise can finish off Peppino, his little "milk" stunt comes back to bite him in the ass when Noisette sees him blending her cooking and decides to blend his dinner for him. The Noise's wide-eyed expression is priceless.
Pillar John's Revenge (fanmade song)
- The entire video is a glorious Affectionate Parody of the game's robust modding scene: Peppino decides that he needs a new challenge in the Pizza Tower and thus "bake[s] the fourth wall" with a reality-altering pizza. Peppino starts by adding the infamous Lap 3, but things get progressively crazier and crazier as Peppino adds more and more laps to the game and transforms himself into everybody from an Eevee to Wario to Pinkie Pie, all while Pillar John and Pizza Face ask Peppino what he's done.Peppino: They called me mad-a! Insane-a! PEPPINO! But finally… I HAVE BAKED THE FOURTH WALL!
- Peppino's exchange with the bosses while modding excessively is hilarious, mostly thanks to the confused, dumbfounded looks on everyone's faces as Peppino announces his modding choices.Peppino: Infinite laps!
Pizza Face: OH NO.
Peppino: While fighting all of the bosses!
Pepperman: Where am I?
Vigilante: What in tarnation?
The Noise: Is it time to crush Peppino already?
Fake Peppino: Who aren't you people?
Peppino: AS AN EEVEE! (Peppino transforms into a smugly grinning yet visibly deranged Eevee in a chef's hat, followed by a Beat)
Pizza Face: (with an "Oh, Crap!" Smile) ...YOU'VE LOST YOUR MIND.
Peppino: But I've found something SO MUCH BETTER! - The ending of the song caps with a couple of bars of "Funiculi, Funicula." What lyrics do they get?Peppino: (cheerfully, while threatening Pizza Face with a pizza cutter and foaming at the mouth) I'm not trapped in here with you, you're trapped in here with me~
- Pizzahead attempts to invoke It Was All A Dream to convince himself none of the modding nonsense was real. Eevee Peppino immediately kicks down the door to Pizza Head's bedroom... showing he's on Lap 1,262,023.note Pizzahead: Aw, phooey.
Perfect Pepper (original song)
- From the promo short we have Pepperman judging other works of art as part of his show, the humbly-named Pepperman's Potpourri of Perfect Pepper Paintings.
- The first one is a sprite art recreation of the photo for Wikipedia's Jalapeño page. Pepperman takes a moment to chew it out for being "the shriveled little embarrassment that dares to call itself a pepper" before relenting because "failures to look down upon" better serve to highlight how "perfect" he is by comparison.Pepperman: And for this reason, I commend the artist on their dedication to making me look better.
- The second is merely Pepperman's edit of the cover for Amazing Fantasy #15 with him in place of the civilian Spider-Man was originally rescuing. On-screen text says it's to be sold for $3999.99.Pepperman: I call it, "Peter Parker Picked a Perfect Pepper". As you can see, the meaning behind this stunning work is that I'm in the painting.
- The last one is a fan-submitted work: a childish drawing of Pepperman with the letters "APPEL MAN" on it. Pepperman proceeds to lose his shit and claim that whoever drew it deserves to be subjected to bodily harm… right before he gets a phone call from his boss, Mr. Stick, to inform Pepperman that his niece drew that. Pepperman is henceforth banned from broadcasting on Stickelodeon ever again.Pepperman: (barely holding onto his composure) Well, my artistic allies… any of you got a public broadcasting network slot open!? Oh, who am I kidding, I really blew it this time… I was FAR TOO LENIENT ON THAT APPLE! I should've bashed it so hard that little girl would repress the trauma for years instead of confronting the problem head-on!
- In need of new work, Pepperman finds an ad for Peppino's Pizza talking about a contest to design the restaurant's logo, with the reward being a month's worth of free pizza. Pepperman, completely confident in his success, signs off as such:Pepperman: Well, goodbye forever, commoners! Destiny is calling me, and it's my duty as an artist to answer. And then gorge myself with a month's worth of pizza. Now then. I must get to work on my opus. So as my mother always says when she sees me, "Pepperman, away!"
- The first one is a sprite art recreation of the photo for Wikipedia's Jalapeño page
- Peppino manages to land a preemptive strike at Pepperman's ego without even meaning to:Pepperman: Welcome, Peppino… to your final fight!
Peppino: Actually, this is the first-a one.
Pepperman: HE MADE ME THE BEGINNER BOSS!? But I'm perfect! - "Perish to my shoulder or my caaaaaake!" By which we mean Pepperman sitting on Peppino while eating a cake. A pepper-flavored cake. Cheeky, as the subtitles put it.
- We see the logo Pepperman submitted for Peppino: an image of Peppino carrying his pizza triumphantly… and then we zoom out, with it revealed to be the tattoo of a buff, muscular Pepperman.Above the store, it'd drive in customers galore
So what if I'm a minor part as well? - The exchange between Peppino and Pepperman during The Stinger:Peppino: Hahahaha, look at this-a guy! Shrunken down from a "Perfect Pepper" to a crabby-a crabapple!
Pepperman: (grows back to normal size, clearly angry) DID YOU JUST CALL ME AN APPLE?!?
Peppino: I hate-a Mondays...
Draw (original song)
- The promo short has Vigilante's advertisement for the Fun Farm, with Vigilante and the background music switching back and forth from promoting it and showing off everything it has to threatening any "varmints" who wish to ruin it or steal anything from it. With lethal force. He's unsure of why he hasn't gotten any visitors yet, between his excitable personality here and the fact that the Fun Farm is "conveniently" on the second floor of a dangerous tower.Vigilante: Take a pit stop at the Fun Farm, y'all! Unless you're a varmint. We got a heapin' helpin' of fresh-grown fruits and veggies. Don't steal 'em. Eggs, milk, you want it? It's yours, m'friend. As long as you have enough dollars. Don't ya dare try to swindle me! (cocks gun)
- Except Mort the Chicken. Despite the other animals in the petting zoo being heavily guarded, he's fine with someone stealing Mort the Chicken. On-screen text even says, "Please steal Mort the Chicken".Vigilante: Uh, you can take that, and I won't stop ya.
- "Free entry for kids 3 & under who can list every John Wayne movie!"
- Except Mort the Chicken. Despite the other animals in the petting zoo being heavily guarded, he's fine with someone stealing Mort the Chicken. On-screen text even says, "Please steal Mort the Chicken".
- The Vigilante's Grandpa's Ghost is fairly deadpan through the song as he sings the backup vocals, his parts making it clear that the Vigilante is less hardboiled gunslinger and more of a Cloud Cuckoolander Glory Seeker.Vigilante: Learned to sharp-shoot sharp cheddar 'fore I learned a single word!
Grandpa: (To this day he barely reads any words.)
[[...]]
Vigilante: A rebel like me ain't content with the simpler tasks...
Grandpa: (Ain't equipped to face the simpler tasks.)
Vigilante: I ain't harvest crops, an' milkin? Son, don't even ask!
Grandpa: (He'd never milk the cows whenever I asked.) - Peppino wins the Quick Draw and shoots a hole in the Vigilante. As he keels over, the Vigilante quotes a classic arcade meme:Vigilante: Bury me... with mah... muenster.
- Peppino's annoyed reaction to the Vigilante's 'death' manages to suck all the melodrama out of the moment. Even the captions agree.Peppino: You're a lump of cheese, can't you just refill that-a hole?
Captions: (He can just refill that-a hole)
Vigilante: (returning to life)...oh. (Meanwhile, Peppino Face Palms at the farcical conclusion to the duel)
- Peppino's annoyed reaction to the Vigilante's 'death' manages to suck all the melodrama out of the moment. Even the captions agree.
- Peppino is obviously not responsible for John E. Cheese's demise, but how Vigilante's grandpa actually died was rather silly, getting kicked into a bucket by a cow while milking it. Not having realized this, Vigilante's Imagine Spot had Peppino killing his grandpa by baking him, producing the Black Comedy image of a pizza wearing his grandpa's hat.
- The Vigilante departs once he finally gets that Peppino's not responsible for his Grandpa's death, but walks right through the backdrop out the window by accident. His Grandpa's ghost can only mutter to Peppino in response...Grandpa: I tell ya, Pizza Man, that boy ain't right.
