Line #10 Recap/SMG4MarioIsFine


1	-> Things are not okey dokey ☹️
2
3	Mario's stuck in the middle of a mid-life crisis; running a pizza store is, after all, a stressful job. The pressure causes him to abandon ship and refuse to man the shop. When [=SMG4=] learns of the mess, he and Mario's other friends try to snap him out of his funk.
4	----
5	* AnAesop: It's important to keep your mental health in mind when going into a job, especially if it's one you love.
6	* AchievementsInIgnorance: It's not fully confirmed until later in "You Made Mario Do This", but Mario ended up creating two sentient life forms by drawing [=OCs=] of him and Luigi.
7	* TheBusCameBack: Shy Gourmand (a.k.a "Fat Shyguy") makes his first appearance since the "Smash or Pass" video.
8	* CallBack: [=SMG3=] reminds us he is a licensed psychologist, something that hadn't come up since at least 2020. [=SMG4=] uses this to get Mario to talk. We also get flashbacks to his old show, complete with his original Mario-like character design.
9	* TheCameo: Obama is shown in a flashback to be one of Mario's first customers. Also, Isabelle in a background shot. Neither had appeared in some time.
10	* DidntThinkThisThrough: Mario thought owning a pizza shop meant eating all the pizza he could want. Instead, he quickly learned it meant having to sell away his delicious spaghetti pizza "children".
11	* DistractedByTheSexy: Literally. The various Mario enemies who had been torturing Luigi react this way to Mario's OC "Marty" and conclude they can't possibly be mad at someone so sexy, while Mario sets Luigi free.
12	* EpicFail: Meggy tries to motivate Mario, even using her "ultimate technique" (turning into Creator/ShiaLabeouf and screaming "JUST DO IT!!"), but it has zero effect.
13	-->'''[=SMG4:=]''' "This… is kinda sad."
14	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: At one point during his torture, Buff-Isabelle tries to hit a piñata-fied Luigi.
15	* GoMadFromTheRevelation: When Luigi explains to Mario what running a business is like, Mario – already in a delicate state at best – snaps, rips off all his clothes except his boxers, and runs off screaming.
16	* ILied: [=SMG4=] convinces [=SMG3=] to return to the Showgrounds by telling him via Meme Guardian psychic link that Creator/JackBlack is signing autographs. [=SMG3=] is not happy about the deception but agrees to help Mario anyway.
17	* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Mario screams at Luigi so loudly that the force rips Luigi's skin off. His skeleton is unperturbed, grabs his outer "shell", and re-merges with it while holding a conversation with Mario. Later, he survives an attempted Disruption (dismemberment by yanking off arms and legs) and spends the rest of the episode with comically stretched limbs.
18	* MistakenForServant: After Mario abandons his pizza parlor, the patrons demand Luigi serve them. He politely tells them he doesn't work there… but Mario's chef hat landed on Luigi's head, and the torture begins.
19	* NeverTrustATitle: Zig-zagged. The title is lying but very upfront about it – Mario is shown crying while wearing a smiling mask to cover his face on the thumbnail, which gives you a clear heads-up of what to expect from the episode.
20	* OffscreenTeleportation: Twice in the episode, [=SMG3=] gets startled by several Glitchy members appearing out of nowhere. The first time, he bumps into Meggy, who is somehow in front of him. The second time, Bob and Boopkins pop up behind him, startling [=SMG3=].
21	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [=SMG4=] gets to narrate the introduction to ''Doctor [=SMG3=]'' and uses it to rip Mario a new one.
22	-->'''[=SMG4=]:''' ''(narrating)'' "Lazy Fat Italian Man Gone Wild! He started his own pizza shop, then realized it involved actual labour! So he had a mental breakdown and is now a lazy loser. Such a stupid, lazy, dumb, ugly, stinky—"\
23	'''Mario:''' "Hey!"
24	* ShockinglyExpensiveBill: [=SMG3=] charges Mario $999,000 for his services, saying Eggdog will settle up with Mario later. Eggdog is in the background holding a sign that reads, "GIB MONEY PLZ".
25	* ShoutOut: To ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' as Meggy goes into "Coach Mode". She even pulls out the show's transformation bracelet as she says its iconic {{catchphrase}}.
26	* SpoofAesop: All you need to solve your mental health problems is to draw an OC of yourself.
