Recap / Big Time Rush S 1 E 17 Big Time Video

Go To

The boys are about to film their next music video, but upon discovering Camille and a bunch of Palmwood residents will have to move out due to lack of work, the boys have to find a way to get them in the video. Meanwhile, Kelly tries to reclaim the local park from Bitters.

Tropes

  • Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: When Bitters gets out of the trunk, he complains that someone will have to pay for his car damages from scratches, mess with leather, and being stuck in the trunk.
  • Bait-and-Switch: Kendall sees Jo with a bag and assumes she's moving out, but the bag just had a broken wheel. Marcos does the same thing later and reveals he's just moving in.
  • Chronic Hero Syndrome: The boys can't help but allow so many people to be in the music video.
  • Cool Car: Bitters' car. He has locked up the park so he can keep his car there in a effort to attract ladies.
  • Exact Words: Logan only has a learner's permit, which means he can only drive with an adult in the same vehicle. The solution? Stuff Bitters in the trunk.
  • Imagine Spot: Gustavo has this of the music video twice which both come out of wrong due to Kendall's suggestions.
  • Oh, Crap!: Gustavo when he realizes the boys tricked him into going outside the studio, and sure enough, when he comes back, all the recording equipment is gone.
    Gustavo: I hate those dogs.
  • Pet the Dog: Gustavo admits the music video the boys shot was great, and as a reward, Gustavo buys off Bitters' car so the band can use it as their official vehicle.
  • Punk in the Trunk: Bitters get locked in his car trunk thanks to Kelly, and according to the boys, he has to keep doing this for two months until Logan gets his license.
  • Stylistic Suck: The boys' first attempt at a music video.
  • Tempting Fate: The boys say they can help everyone as long as they find a director that wants to shoot a video with extras. Unfortunately, the directors all have ideas for videos with just the band and they have to shoot them down.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: After Marcos keeps getting rejected for the music video, he checks into the hotel and tells the boys he got inspired for a better video, and just wishes someone would say yes. The boys do, and they make a fantastic video.
