Johnny finds out about content creation and that you can earn money for it as well after seeing a dog become popular enough online that he can afford his own limo. Dukey agrees to go along with it, but the results to gain views are a lot more painful then he would like.


Tropes

  • All Just a Dream: The majority of the episode is in Dukey's dream as he got knocked out during his theme song via the truck dumping bacon on his head.
  • Amusing Injuries: Dukey ends up taking a lot of pratfalls here, first by the Test siblings have him getting hurt which prove to be a hit with the crowd, then taking injuries in trying to storm the castle to save Marian.
  • Born in the Wrong Century: Dukey constantly wants to play Robin Hood, but due to the cast having more modern sensibilities, his thought process on how to go about it is pretty anarchic. He does come around at the end though.
  • Call-Back: SnoobTube, the Brand X of YouTube that appeared in “Johnny Tube” returns here.
  • Damsel out of Distress: Dukey wants to be like Robin Hood and save Maid Marian, but she proves time and again she's more then capable on her own.
  • Running Gag: The dog riding around in a limo, apparently having gotten popular from his web videos. Eventually leads to a reveal that the dog isn't rich, his owner is a limo driver and just takes him along for rides.
  • Something We Forgot: Dukey keeps insisting that he go and save Marian himself, but after being informed he created job opportunities for the peasants, he forgets he was supposed to do so.
  • Shout-Out: To Robin Hood Daffy, many of the pratfalls Dukey suffers in his fantasy are similar to that cartoon, including having his snout upturned.
  • Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Most cartoons usually have someone recovering quickly after they get something heavy dumped on them. Dukey ended up knocked out after getting dumped with bacon.
