Recap / The Real Ghostbusters Slimer 14 Special Delivery

Go To

Slimer enters Luigi's pizzeria and is about to eat some food, but Luigi reveals that it's meant for a party for his boss Rafael. He's about to deliver it, but the pizzeria is too busy. Slimer offers to deliver the food instead, and Luigi lets him, so long as he promises not to eat any. However, Manx is watching and wants the food for himself.

Slimer goes off with the food, but Manx blows up an inflatable cake and baits it with a bomb. Slimer does fall for the pretend cake, but instead of blowing up, he tries to eat the bomb, hates the taste, and throws it away. Manx piles a bunch of stuff on top of the bin, then when the bomb goes off, he's flung through the air.

Manx then rings a payphone to distract Slimer so he can steal the food, but this backfires when he gets stuck in the phone box. By now, Rafael is getting hangry and impatient since the food is an hour late, so he gives Luigi an angry phone call.

Then, Manx tries using a large magnet to steal the food (since the plate is made of metal) but instead it grabs other metal things, then sticks to a plane, carrying him with it. Slimer manages to deliver the food, but then bumps into Rafael, making him angry. However, the guests think he did it on purpose and congratulate him for it.

Back at Luigi's place, he and Slimer have a feast to celebrate.

This short provides examples of


  • Amusing Injuries: Manx, after being flung through the air, gets bonked around in the Statue of Liberty and later appears covered in bandages.
  • Carrying a Cake: The premise of the short is that Slimer has to carry some food to Rafael's party. In the end, the food does get spilled, but it lands intact.
  • Cartoon Bomb: Manx's bomb looks like a bowling ball with a fuse.
  • Dagwood Sandwich: One of the foodstuffs Luigi and Slimer eat to celebrate is a really tall sandwich.
  • Delicious Distraction: Manx makes a fake cake to distract Slimer.
  • Food End: The short ends with Luigi and Slimer eating a lot of food to celebrate Slimer's work.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: Manx gets flung through the air by his own bomb.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: After spilling the food, Slimer says, "Oh, poor Luigi! He's gonna lose his job and it's all my fault!".
  • Wild Take:
    • Manx gets huge eyes when he realises the bomb is next to him.
    • Rafael's eyes go out of his head when he sees the food fall.
