Recap / Bowser's Koopalings S 5 E 6 The Cell Phone

Go To

During a trip to Goomburger, Larry, Morton and Lemmy find a missing cellphone, and Lemmy has the idea of prank-calling others, to which the other Koopalings join in. Meanwhile, the phone's owner isn't exactly too happy when he discovers that he has lost it.

Tropes:

  • Big Damn Heroes: Had the police not arrived in time, the Sumo Bro would have beat up the Koopalings badly.
  • Brick Joke: Lemmy prank-calls Dedede by asking for a person named Drew Peacock. At the end of the episode, it is revealed that the Sumo Bro's name is Drew Peacock.
  • Dude, Not Funny!: This is the reaction the Koopalings have to Ludwig calling someone and telling him that his daughter has been kidnapped as a prank.
    Ludwig: Oh, you guys are such pussies.
  • Fake Pregnancy: Wendy pretends to be the one-night stand of a Charging Chuck and lies about expecting a baby in order to prank-call him.
  • Hidden Disdain Reveal: A. Byzmal does this to some of his fellow-business partners after being tricked into thinking he had won one billion dollars. They don't even seem to know who he is though.
  • Jerkass: Even without the anger he has after finding out he has lost his phone, the Sumo Bro doesn't exactly appear to be a very pleasant person.
  • Karma Houdini: In spite of all of the Koopalings having made prank calls to others, only Larry, Morton, and Lemmy get arrested in the end. Can be justified since the reason they are getting arrested is most likely taking someone else's phone instead of returning it.
  • Noodle Incident: Exactly what happened between Roy and that girl for him to be so shocked and call the prank call off?
  • No Indoor Voice: The Sumo Bro is always shouting.
  • Not So Above It All: After hearing Larry's horrible attempt at a prank, Ludwig decides to have a go himself despite claiming that he thought of prank calls as childish.
  • Unstoppable Rage: The Sumo Bro starts insulting people, assaulting them, scaring them off, committing tresspassing and destroying private property after having lost his phone.
  • Prank Call: The main premise of the episode.
  • Pun: Lemmy prank-calls King Whomp by telling him that Whomps shouldn't be allowed to drive because they always get stoned.
  • Punny Name: Lemmy prank-calls Dedede by asking for someone named Drew Peacock. At the end of the episode it is revealed that the Sumo Bro's name is Drew Peacock.
  • Self-Deprecation: Invoked when Lemmy prank calls Funky from Donkey Kong Island and mocks the series' low popularity when compared to Bowser's Koopalings
  • Take This Job and Shove It: After Iggy tricks him into believing that he had won one billion dollars, A. Byzmal quits and insults his customers and then his fellow business partners.
  • You Are Fat: Morton prank-calls Eddie, Lauren's brother, by making fun of his weight.

Ludwig's idea of a prank call

Being completely unamused by Larry's attempt at a prank call, Ludwig decides to have a go himself. However, his sense of humor turns out to be... a bit twisted.

How well does it match the trope?
