Mario forces everyone to start a cool new club. It goes wrong, naturally.
The debut episode of Hal Monitor.
This episode of SMG4 provides examples of:
- Achievements in Ignorance: Bob somehow makes a Mac out of PC parts by accident.
- Bait-and-Switch: During Shroomy's hunting club, Bob is seemingly going to shoot Boopkins. Instead, he shoots Axol.
- Bestiality Is Depraved: The only ones who don't react with abject horror to "My Gym Teacher's a Sexy Rhinoceros" are Boopkins and Axol. Meggy even violently throws up.
- Big "WHAT?!": Tari tries to give Boopkin's anime club a chance, but when Boopkins reveals that the show they're watching translates to "My Gym Teacher's a Sexy Rhinoceros" she can only exclaim "WHAT?!".
- Blatant Lies: Shroomy convinces the normally pacifist Tari to take part in his Hunting Club by claiming that they’re actually “hugging” animals with rubber bullets.
- The Bus Came Back: Both the Old Man and the Crazy Raisin Lady return for small roles in this episodes.
- Call-Back:
- Mario once again uses the same BLJ technique he used back in "Mario Waits in Line for Spaghetti" on a training dummy.
- At the start of Boopkins' anime club, Meggy freaks out, saying that she thought they learned not to touch anime after the Anime Arc.
- Epic Fail: All the clubs ends up being failures in one way or another.
- Meggy's Karate Club is a disaster as half the cast are too wimpy to do any damage, Shroomy nearly ends up shooting Meggy trying to do Gun Kata with shotguns, Bob declares he's too perfect as he cuts the dummy in half with his sword hands, and Mario backwards long jumps into his dummy, sending him flying instead.
- Any hopes of Boopkins' Anime Club winning over the few not hostile to anime are torpedoed when the anime he decides to show is "My Gym Teacher is a Sexy Rhinoceros".
- In SMG4's Computer Club, Bob somehow makes a Mac from PC parts, Boopkins makes a sculpture out of the parts, Tari somehow makes Optimus Prime, and Mario's failed attempt to build a PC somehow summons a Pride Demon.
- Of course giving Mario a gun in Shroomy’s Hunting Club ends badly but the true disaster comes from the competent markspeople, Meggy and Shroomy, getting competitive, which leads to Shroomy shooting a Lynel and subsequently getting mauled by it.
- Tari's Board Game Club ends when Mario somehow summons an aggressive tentacle with Call of Cthulu.
- What happens at Bob's Mystery Club is... a mystery. But it somehow ends with the SMG4's Gang in Hell.
- "Then they tried a bunch of other clubs but they sucked at all of them"
- The last one is just them literally doing nothing at Peach's Castle in the "Lazy Club". It still fails because Bob insults Mr. Monitor, who somehow hears him and bursts in with a rocket launcher.
- Establishing Character Moment: Hal attacking SMG4 for trespassing on school grounds.
- The Greatest Story Never Told: Something happened during Bob's mystery club. SMG4 even states that they'll never let them show that again.
- Screw This, I'm Out of Here!: The Pride Demon summoned by Mario's attempt to build a computer chooses to get the hell out of the clubroom rather than deal with Mr. Monitor "tearing anuses".
- Shout-Out: Bob's mystery box glows when opened, much like the case in Pulp Fiction.
- Sudden Downer Ending: Played for Laughs. When it finally seems like SMG4's Gang have finally found a club for them, Bob casually insults Mr. Monitor again. Mr. Monitor hears it and bursts in with a rocket launcher. And all this despite the gang being at Peach's Castle at the time.Bob: Stupid school. That stupid-ass security guard can eat a chode.
(Cut to Mr. Monitor bursting through the front doors with a rocket launcher)
Mr. Monitor: That's not very nice is it.
(Everyone screams) - Vomit Indiscretion Shot: Meggy's reaction to "My Gym Teacher's A Sexy Rhinoceros".
