Lamput is in a movie theater watching a martial arts film when the docs barge in, leading to them and Lamput having their own martial arts fight.
"Martial Art" contains the following tropes:
- Bilingual Bonus: Specs Doc angrily spouts his usual simlish at Lamput, but it's accompanied by Chinese subtitles ("我們在胡說八道"). These subtitles translate to "We are talking nonsense".
- Cross-Popping Veins: Lamput gets angry veins when he notices his popcorn has been destroyed.
- Cultural Cross-Reference:
- An official Instagram post from a Lamput production crew member mentions the episode is a homage to famous martial arts movie stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. Specs and Skinny being briefly represented by an eagle and a snake respectively specifically references the Jackie Chan movie Snake in the Eagle's Shadow.
- The episode's "THE END" card is displayed on the movie theater's screen alongside a logo clearly meant to be that of the Motion Picture Association of America.
- Infernal Background: Flames erupt in the background when Lamput gets fed up with the docs over his smushed popcorn.
- Lampshade Hanging: The Chinese subtitles accompanying Specs Doc's speech translate to "We are talking nonsense", a jab at how all the characters' speech is incoherent.
- Movie-Theater Episode: And Lamput and the docs have a martial arts fight in that movie theater.
- Tearing Through the Movie Screen: Lamput and the docs end up behind the movie theater's screen when the former realizes his popcorn has been destroyed. This angers him so much that he punches the docs through the movie screen during a part of the film where the characters are fighting each other; the docs have objects on them and ripped clothes that make them resemble the characters from the movie, and the audience cheers for them.
- Three-Point Landing: Lamput lands on the ground behind the movie screen like this, only to be hit by the docs a second or so later.
- Tickle Torture: Lamput fends off the docs by, among other things, tickling one of them in the armpit.
