* RuleOfSymbolism: Jalebi's increasing frustration with her friends not giving her a "happy birthday" is reflected in how pictures of her with her friends end up being shaken by her slamming the door as she leaves her besties' houses. The first time, a picture of her and Samosa is tilted slightly; the second time, a picture of her and Dhokla drops off the part of the wall it was hanging on.

Not a proper example; this was after the U.S. ruling.


* HappyBirthdayToYou: This episode aired after the song entered the public domain in 2015, thus allowing Samosa and friends to sing "Happy Birthday to You" to Jalebi.

"Jalebi's Birthday" is the [=11th=] episode of the Indian animated series ''Animation/SimpleSamosa''.

The episode begins with Jalebi waking up on her birthday to the sound of her alarm clock playing "Happy Birthday to You". A few seconds later, Samosa calls her on the phone asking for help. Jalebi promptly goes to Samosa's house, where he's having trouble putting together a radio. Jalebi proceeds to help him put the radio together, which he thanks her for. When she asks him if he has anything to say besides "thank you", expecting him to say "happy birthday", he only replies with more "thank you"s, which frustrates Jalebi.

Dhokla then calls Jalebi on the phone, requesting some help of his own. Jalebi goes to Dhokla's house to find he's tangled in a bunch of lights. Jalebi untangles him from the lights, but when he thanks her for helping, he doesn't get the hint when she asks if he has anything to say besides "thank you", making her frustrated again.

Jalebi then goes home to relax a bit, but Vada calls her, again to ask for help - this time, he needs to get off of an escalator in the Masala Mall which has stopped working. Jalebi uses an app called Gargle Maps to locate the Masala Mall, and helps Vada off of the escalator. Vada then says he wants to say something, which Jalebi sceptically lets him. He shouts "happy birthday!", revealing a surprise party planned out by Samosa, Dhokla, and Vada. The three sing "Happy Birthday to You" to Jalebi, and the party's other attendees join in on the song. Then the birthday cake arrives, and Jalebi blows out the candles.

The next day, Vada wakes up on his birthday to the sound of his alarm clock playing "Happy Birthday to You". A few seconds later, Jalebi calls him on the phone and wishes him a happy birthday. The episode ends with Vada suddenly asking why he doesn't get a surprise party like Jalebi.
