Recap / Mimpi Metropolitan E 38

Go To

The local watchman, Soleh, suddenly dies of a heart attack. Bambang and Alan apply for the vacant watchman job. Juna gets the role meant for Alexi in Zombi Jomlo. Alexi starts working in Ada Azab Dalam Cerita with Prima as his assistant manager.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Double Standard: Prima calls out Akbar for fake-praising Alexi's bad acting while demeaning Bambang's bad acting when Bambang was a guest star, simply because Alexi is famous and handsome while Bambang is not.
  • Hollywood Heart Attack: Soleh's death is caused by such heart attack (complete with the chest-clutching), which happens just as he is going to chase a masked figure.
  • Hypocritical Humor: The day after Bambang gets jealous seeing Melani and Juna together, Alan gives Bambang some calming advice when Juna taunts Bambang. Then Juna taunts Alan, and he immediately breaks his own words and starts yelling at Juna until Bambang calms him down in turn.
  • Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Pipin points out how soap-opera-like the first scene is.
  • One Dialogue, Two Conversations: Upon seeing everyone else except Mami Bibir wearing black clothes, Prima thinks Mami Bibir is dead and asks where is she and when did the death happen. The others answers that she is in (Soleh's) graveyard and (Soleh's) death happened last night. The others only realize what Prima thinks after that while Prima realizes when Mami Bibir make a call immediately after that.
  • Shout-Out:

"My mother's husband said, 'Learn from underarm hair. Even when squeezed, it will still grown and survive.'"
