Whatcha lookin' at there SMG3??? 🤨🤨
After catching SMG3 using SMG4's computer for an undisclosed reason, Mario and SMG4 are determined to look at his browser history after his increasingly suspicious behavior piques their interest. When they succeed and are shocked by what they see, a broken-hearted SMG3 flees the castle to work for the Men in Black.
- An Aesop:
- Don't look at people's search history. Not only is it violating their privacy, you might end up seeing something you'd wish you hadn't.
- If you're going to look up content you don't want others to see, don't use someone else's computer to do it; there's a good chance they'll find out.
- Bad Liar: SMG3 claims that there's a spider on SMG4's PC before smashing it to bits, then when SMG4 is about to check the laptop he attempts to avert SMG4 from looking by first claiming that he's pregnant and then claiming that he's gonna do something evil. SMG4 shortly after realizes that SMG3 doesn't want him seeing the browser's history.
- Behind the Black: When SMG3 escapes into Saiko's room, no one notices that he disguised himself as the guitar that Saiko is holding until she attempts to play it.
-
Broken Aesop: The story makes a point of respecting one's privacy with SMG4 and Mario prying into SMG3's web history, being horrified and judgmental over what they find, and SMG3 erasing their memory of it in the end. What undermines the message is the fact that SMG3 was browsing with SMG4's PC without permission to begin with, to say nothing of website tracking regardless of whether the browser's history is cleared, so it's well within SMG4's right to know what sites SMG3 visits. - Butt-Monkey: Tari ends up suffering collateral damage twice in the episode despite not even being involved with the main conflict. First, SMG3 gets flung on top of her by a horrified Saiko, then the car SMG3 crashed into the plane lands on her. At least the ducks she was escorting were unharmed both times.
- Call-Back: The door aliens show up yet again, and Swag and Chris are shown to still be in conflict with them.
- Continuity Nod: The castle bathroom is shown to still be littered with the toilets that Mario and Luigi obtained from killing a bunch of Skibidi Toilets in the previous episode.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: SMG3 sics several Ugandan Knuckles on SMG4 and Mario to keep them at bay. One flamethrower from each man quickly takes them out.
- A Day in the Limelight: SMG3 is the primary focus here, for the episode deals with him desperately trying to protect his Internet history from Mario and SMG4, then dealing with the fallout when they and several others find out anyway.
- Didn't Think This Through: Using SMG4's computer to look up questionable content was not one of SMG3's smarter decisions. SMG4 has his own search history that he might need to look at, and he naturally gets suspicious when SMG3 tries to stop him.
- Driven to Suicide: When trying to carjack Karen while the vehicle is in motion, SMG3 says "GIMME THE CAR! OR YOU'RE DEAD!". Karen shrugs and replies "I'll take both!" before jumping out and rolling away.SMG3 (taken aback): Damn, bro...
- Embarrassing Browser History: Whatever SMG3 was looking at serves as the central point of conflict of the episode, with him desperately trying and failing to keep SMG4 and Mario from finding out. While it's not shown, it was horrible enough to make SMG4, Mario and a passing Meggy get stuck in a screaming glitchfest. At least Luigi liked it...
- Funny Background Event: After seeing SMG3's internet history, a Medic is shown reviving SMG4. He then moves on to Mario and Meggy as SMG4 gathers his thoughts, only to accidentally light the pair of them on fire with his defibrillator.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: The memory stick can wipe anyone's memories of a given event. This gives SMG3 the tool he needs to make sure no one remembers his browser history.
- Left Hanging: SMG3 manages to erase Mario, SMG4, and Meggy's memories, though Luigi is unaccounted for.
- Magical Defibrillator: After SMG4, Mario, and Meggy pass out from seeing SMG3's search history, Medic revives them with a defibrillator no problem.note
- Noodle Incident: Apparently, someone told Mario to put his ravioli in... something that he's not proud of.
- Not So Above It All: Chris isn't sure what the spinning machine test is for, but the reason that it's around is because he's seen it in a bunch of sci-fi movies.
- Poke the Poodle: In true SMG3 fashion, when trying to distract from his browser history, he gives Mario a Short-Distance Phone Call to say that he unplugged the fridge and spoiled all his spaghetti. But then again, whether he actually did or if he's just saying that is left unclear.
- Shout-Out: SMG3 takes a leaf from the Plants vs. Zombies playbook as he tries to escape SMG4 and Mario, rolling out some grass and taking some Ugandan Knuckles from a menu to send after them.
- Soundtrack Dissonance: Played for Laughs when SMG3 attempts to play getaway music after stealing Karen's car. The wrong music keeps playing until the episode cuts to the part where SMG3 is on top of the airplane.
- Take Our Word for It: Whatever Mario, SMG4, and a passing Meggy saw, it was so awful that Mario outright glitched out from existence. By the time the story cuts back to them, the trio are knocked out and need a Medic to come revive them. Luigi, however, is fully shown to enjoy what was on the screen.
- Too Dumb to Live: Old Man Hobo is shown as a plane pilot this time, and when a frightened SMG3 sticks himself to the plane's windshield, Old Man Hobo decides to "park the car and wipe it off". This entails putting the plane into a nosedive.
- The Unreveal:
- After spending half the episode trying to find out about SMG3's Embarrassing Browser History, SMG4 and Mario finally look at it... and the episode only shows their reactions, never revealing what it is they saw.
- The meme that SMG4 wanted to show Mario is never revealed, either.
