Recap / All Hail King Julien S 04 E 03 Who Arted

Go To

When King Julien holds an art gallery, Mort becomes a big art star, causing jealousy in Julien.


Tropes:

  • Accidental Art: Mort throws up all over Julien's painting, which the others consider it a masterpiece.
  • In Medias Res: The episode opens with Julien in anguish over how he's "Killed Mort's art". A flashback explains how this came to be.
  • Line-of-Sight Alias: Julien assumes his Chair Lemurtable disguise alongside Clover and Maurice, and when pressed for a name, Clover follows Julien's example and comes up with "Mango Paintingloser".
  • Mix-and-Match Critters: Julien's self portrait depicts himself as a centaur with tentacles.
  • Pun:
    • There are several instances of "art" being compared to "fart".
      Julien: You basically arted on everyone's faces!

      Julien: If you ever feel the need to art, just let it rip.
    • "I have killed Mort's art!"
  • Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: After Julien bans art from the kingdom, someone keeps putting up protest signs. This someone turns out to be Clover.
    Julien: You broke a rule? Why?
    Clover: I respect the law, but I also think that if the law is unjust, everyone has a responsibility to fight against it!
    Julien: I passed an unjust law, didn't I?
  • Terrible Artist: Julien's art is so bad it makes some want to throw up (which Mort actually does).
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Julien's jealousy gets so bad he decides to just ban all art from the kingdom. Maurice is quick to point out that this is the kind of thing Uncle King Julien would do.
  • Whole-Plot Reference: The entire episode is a parody of Amadeus.
