Recap / Simple Samosa Episode 8 Cupcake Gang

Go To

Queen Banoffee Batenburg comes from Germany to visit Chatpata Nagar and brings with her a princess who thinks Dhokla is sweet. In fact, she gets mad when Dhokla asserts he isn't sweet and concocts a plan.


This episode contains SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET examples of the following tropes:

  • Absurdly-Long Limousine: Queen Banoffee Batenburg has a lengthy, pink limousine.
  • An Aesop: The princess wanting to make everyone sweet is used to set up one that everyone is different with their own unique characteristics. The episode uses the foods' tastes to make this point and even has a little song to drive the message home that everyone is "special" (Gratuitous English that shows up in the non-English dubs of the episode).
    Samosa: My taste is very special
    Jalebi: Mine, too, is very special
    Dosa Anna: Blend the tastes
    Aloo: With one another
    Dosa, Aloo, and fritter kids: They'll mix and get along together...
  • Big "SHUT UP!": When asked by Samosa what's going on with her bringing the gang to her, the princess shouts "QUIET!!!" loudly enough to scare birds out of their eggs. In the second English dub, she shouts a Big "NO!" instead when she hears Dhokla saying he's not sweet.
  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: The princess arriving in a foreign country, noticing the locals are different from her, and forcibly trying to change them seems quite similar to colonialism.
  • Establishing Character Moment: The princess shows up in later episodes with the same obsession with sweetness she displays here. This may very well be an entire establishing character episode.
  • Evil Gloating: Once Princess Cupcake has Samosa's gang brought to her hideout, she proceeds to explain to them her plan to make all of Chatpata Nagar sweet and brags about how everyone will soon be like her.
  • Pokémon Speak: The cupcakes accompanying Banoffee Batenburg and the princess all say nothing but "cake", with the exception of one of them speaking properly when the queen arrives to see what the princess is doing.
  • Sweet Tooth: The princess being overly obsessed with everything sweet becomes a major plot point. She tries to create a whipped cream rain on Chatpata Nagar so that everyone will be sweet like her, but the queen arrives and interferes, leading to a lesson that everyone is different (or, in the foods' case, has different tastes).
