Go To

A disguised Minion Pig manages to infiltrate the Blues, but will the little Angry Birds fall for his ruse?

Tropes

  • The Chew Toy: The whole episode has the Blues dragging poor Piggy McCool around, forcing him to do stunts that invariably result in him getting hurt. Eventually, they drop the act and fling him away using the slingshot.
  • Circling Birdies: After crashing while trying to use a skateboard, the three stars from the Angry Birds results screen circle around his head.
  • Creator Cameo: One of the Blues wears a swim cap with Rovio Entertainment's logo on it. Another swim cap has the flag of Finland (where Rovio is located).
  • Epic Fail: All of Piggy McCool's attempts to copy the Blues' stunts always go horribly wrong, causing him to get hurt in some way.
  • Hope Spot: After enduring tons of abuse, Piggy McCool finally gets close enough to swipe the eggs... only for the Blues to pull him away at the last minute. The look on Chef Pig's face says it all.
  • Jaw Drop: Chef Pig does a hilarious one in response to the aforementioned Hope Spot.
  • No Name Given: The disguised Minion Pig isn't given a name, simply being referred to as "Minion Pig" in the credits. Angry Birds Epic would reveal that his name is Piggy McCool.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: At the end of the episode, the Blues reveal that they saw right through Piggy McCool's Paper-Thin Disguise from the beginning, and were just stringing him along so they could get him into some nasty accidents.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: Piggy McCool wears a shoddy, obvious bird costume in an attempt to trick the Blues. They aren't fooled for a second, though they play along for a while.
  • Super Drowning Skills: After diving into the pool, Piggy McCool sinks straight to the bottom. Note that real life pigs are actually excellent swimmers!
