Hot-Blooded! Akane's Comedian Life!! is the 17th episode of Smile Pretty Cure!, and the 406th episode overall in the Pretty Cure franchise.
The Cures participate in a manzai contest.
Tropes:
- Gilligan Cut: Akane asks FUJIWARA to keep the Pretty Cure stuff a secret, which they agree. Cut to them doing the Cure Gorilla bit on television, much to Akane's dismay.
- Special Guest: This episode guest stars the real life manzai duo FUJIWARA.
- Transformation Sequence: Parodied; Haranishi of FUJIWARA does a mock transformation into "Cure Gorilla".
