Recap / SMG 4 Trash Friends

Go To

SMG4 and SMG3 go into the TRASH to find something important SMG4 lost

SMG4 has lost an endorsement video from who appears to be Michael Jordan, saved on a USB file, in the dump. SMG3 note  and Marionote  tag along with him to find it, but the minute they do, Mario swallows it by accident, so a mad chase begins between the SMG duo and Mario for the coveted USB. Can our trio sort out the mess before Karen "cleans up" the dump- and more importantly, can SMG3 and SMG4 overcome the tensions and misunderstandings rising between them?


Tropes:

  • Innocently Insensitive: SMG4 reveals he needs the Michael Jordan endorsement video to promote his already-successful channel, and thinks SMG3 can relate considering he has his own business. SMG3, whose café is in danger of closing down at the moment, feels very uneasy trying to reassure him that he's doing fine.
  • Macguffin: The endorsement video takes this role in this episode, with both SMGs fighting over it.
  • Poor Communication Kills: The driving force behind most of the episode is that SMG3 never tells SMG4 his real motives behind wanting the USB: to save his café from going under with a celebrity's endorsement. Likewise, the duo never explain to Mario why they need the USB, and by the time SMG3 finally decides to explain to Mario, the latter is stuck in the middle of the war between him and SMG4 and has no time to cough up the USB. Fortunately, with proper communication, SMG4 understands SMG3's actions and gladly hands over the endorsement video USB (even if turned out to be worthless)
  • Tempting Fate: In a rare positive example, only a few moments after the trio arrive at the dump, SMG4 complains that it'll take forever to find the USB, only for Mario to find it almost immediately due to it being on a plate of spaghetti, much to the former's relief. And then Mario eats it.
