Airdate: March 23, 2012
Lumpy accidentally chokes on a doughnut and struggles to stay alive.
"The Chokes on You" contains the following:
- Ambiguous Ending: The fate of Flaky in the end is left unknown.
- Blind Mistake: The Mole rolls his rolling pin over Lumpy's swollen hand and then cuts off a chunk of it in the shape of a doughnut.
- Bottle Episode: Most of the episode takes place in the Doughnut Store's kitchen.
- Brick Joke: The doughnut that was made out of Lumpy's swollen hand is eaten by Flaky in the last shot of the episode.
- The Cameo: Truffles can be seen near Lammy in the front door of the doughnut shop.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Lumpy in spades. He chokes on a doughnut twice, gets his hand impaled with a knife, stabs himself in the throat twice, and gets his hand severely burnt, flattened, and cut before ripping it off and then gets torn apart by a conveyor belt.
- Here We Go Again!: In the end, Flaky starts to choke on one of the donuts.
- Impaled Palm: A knife falls on Lumpy's hand, causing it to pierce through it (pictured above).
- Mutilation Conga / Trauma Conga Line: Most fans consider this to be Lumpy's most tortuous episode in the series.
- New Job as the Plot Demands: Lumpy and The Mole are doughnut shop workers.
- Pun-Based Title: To the saying: "The jokes on you!"
- They Killed Kenny Again: Lumpy and (debatably) Flaky.
- Throw the Dog a Bone: The Mole, Lammy, Mr. Pickels, and Truffles survive.
- Too Dumb to Live: Apparently Lumpy and Flaky do not know about a little something called "chewing".
