Recap / Middlemost Post S 1 E 1 First Delivery Choreor Less

Go To

First Delivery: The gang faces warfare to deliver a letter to a house that never gets mail.

Chore or Less: Parker does the chores in an attempt to be more like Angus and comes to realize that they’re actually boring.

"First Delivery" provides examples of:

  • All Deserts Have Cacti: Most of the episode is set at Yellow Springs, which has a desert environment. As expected, the place is full of cacti, which Angus keeps getting hit by.
  • Booby Trap: Levi Alone's home is full of them, in which Parker calls them "booty traps."
  • Determinator: Parker tries his best at delivering the mail to Levi, no matter what.
    Parker: "Levi Alone! I've got a letter with your name on it, and you're gonna get that letter because people care about you!"
  • Disney Death: Parker thought Angus died, but Angus was just tired.
    Parker: "I'll finish the job, Angus. I promise. You're the best boss a cloud could ever have! (Closes Angus' eyes) Go in peace, dear friend!" (Kisses Angus)
    Angus: "(Wakes up) Parker, I'm not dying. I'm just pooped as all heck."
  • The Hermit: Levi Alone.
  • Hold Up Your Score: After Angus jumped off a ladder in a ballerina style, the traps displayed a score (two 10's and one 9).
  • Medium Blending: First such moment in the show featured Angus showing chicken legs tattooed on his arms. Later, Angus and Parker did a handshake, which featured live-action arms.
  • Pen Pals: Levi becomes one to Parker after delivering the letter.
  • Punny Name: Levi Alone, who sets up mats that say "Get lost!"
  • Unstoppable Mailman: Both Parker and Angus serve this role. Especially Angus, who despite his trouble with Levi, will still deliver the letter because he never missed a single delivery in his life.

"Chore or Less" provides examples of:

  • Abandon Ship: Parker shouted this, and Angus claims that the crew of the Middlemost Post does not abandon ship, but eventually shouted this phrase as well.
  • Kids Hate Chores: At first Parker is happy to do chores, but he ended up rushing them that the ship ended up being a mess. And when Angus kept explaining the chores to Parker, he ended up getting bored.
  • Mooning: Mayor Peeve made a "full moon" joke when Angus' ass got exposed, but no one laughed at it.
    Peeve: Ryan! Nobody laugh at my funny!
    Ryan: Maybe... They didn't hear you sir.
    Peeve: They heard me, Ryan. They all heard me.
  • Pass the Popcorn: Mayor Peeve eating a bag of popcorn when Angus struggled to hold on the ship.
  • Ruleof Three: The crew meeting during the beginning of the episode featured the phrases "Deliver mail" repeated as priorities thrice.
  • Sarcasm-Blind:
    Angus: "Great idea! Nobody does chores. Oh, getting rid of chores will free off my day! I can add that second nap I've always talked about."
    Parker: "Wow. Thanks for being so understanding, Angus!"
    Angus: "Nooo, thank you! I look forward to not doing chores with you."
  • Tempting Fate:
    Angus: "I give the kid one day before Parker realizes the importance of chores."
    '''(Suddenly, the ship becomes filled with trash and dirt.)
  • Trash of the Titans: The Middlemost Post ends up being like this.
