Recap / Bowsers Koopalings S 3 E 6 Lights Camera Annoyance

Go To

After heavily damaging Bowser's car, Bowser comes up with a new scheme to make money to pay for it, and it evolves the Koopalings and a camera crew.

Tropes:

  • Amateur Film-Making Plot: The plot involves Bowser trying to make a TV show called "Bowser Knows Best" about himself and the Koopalings so that he can rise enough money to replace his damaged car.
  • And I'm the Queen of Sheba: Lemmy responds to Bowsers statement that Nate Paul is a great guy by sarcastically saying that he's 10 feet tall.
  • Banana Peel: While chasing Nate Paul, Larry ends up slipping on one of these, causing him to land in a tub of slime.
  • Big "WHAT?!": All of the Koopalings have this reaction when Bowser tells them that his show has been picked up by the network.
  • Chained to a Bed: In an attempt to get back at Nate Paul for pranking them, Larry, Lemmy, Ludwig and Morton chain him to his bed.
  • I Did What I Had to Do: Bowser says this to Ludwig after the latter calls him out for throwing Iggy out of the castle.
  • It's All About Me: Nate Paul considers himself to be the star of "Bowser Knows Best".
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: Bowser Jr. tries to get a part in Bowser's new show by wearing a Roy mask. Everyone sees through the disguise, unsurprisingly, and Bowser Jr. is dragged off the stage by Boom Boom.
  • The Prankster: Nate Paul pulls some pretty nasty pranks on the Koopalings while he is helping Bowser to create his new show:
    • For starters, he wakes Larry up by soaking him with water in his bed, then he gets Larry to chase him and slip on a banana peel, causing him to land in a tub of slime which he has trouble getting out of.
    • Not only that, but he also replaces the hot water in the shower with melted cheese while Morton is using it, tricks Lemmy into getting stuck in the cold storage for two hours and causes Ludwig's book to burst into flames while he's reading it.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After being chained to a bed and electrocuted by the Koopalings, Nate Paul decides to leave the castle. Brittany also leaves when Roy tries to make out with her after she asked him if he could help her rehearse some lines in his room.
  • The Show Must Go Wrong: As the filming of "Bowser Knows Best" gets underway, there are numerous mishaps that hinder the production:
    • In the first take, Roy lets out a burp.
    • In the second take, Larry misreads his line as "Valentine's Day" instead of "Internet Safety Day".
    • In another take, Morton doesn't listen to Iggy's question about the post he should send to Larry.
    • Later, Bowser Jr. crashes a filming scene while wearing a Roy mask. Boom-boom drags him away.
  • Show Within a Show: The episode begins with Bowser, King Dedede, King K. Rool and King Boo watching a sitcom about 2 koopas.
  • Tempting Fate: As soon as Iggy says that no network would ever pick up "Bowser Knows Best", Bowser comes in and tells the Koopalings that the show has been picked up for 10 episodes.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: During the Koopalings' ball game, Larry accidentally throws the ball into a faulty cannon that fires a cannonball into Bowser's car, much to Bowser's anger.
  • What Could Possibly Go Wrong?: When Kamek asks Bowser if creating a TV show is a good idea, Bowser replies with this question.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: Wendy and Iggy are not seen again for the rest of the episode after they are removed from the castle.
