Recap / Mimpi Metropolitan E 55

Go To

Melani becomes an advisor at Alexi's new production house, soon to be titled Alexi Project. After her work is done, Melani helps Bambang in his egg roll stand, but the zipper of her bag is broken. Meanwhile, Alan is exhausted from renovating Alexi Project's new office alone.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Breaking the Fourth Wall:
    • When he is sad about how Melani doesn't love him, Alexi notices that the episode is playing his sadness for laughs and asks the camera to play sad music instead. The episode obliges.
    • Prima asks the creative team and writers (via the camera) whether he will get a romance arc of his own. The camera "says" no.
  • Continuity Nod:
    • When Mami Bibir jokes about making a tumpeng to celebrate Melani's new job, Pipin brings up the "RoboCop tumpeng" that she made for Mami Bibir's birthday.
    • Alexi brings up the half million rupiah that he gave to Mami Bibir in episode 53.
  • Facepalm: Prima facepalms after a take is cut because Juna takes the ustad actor's sandals.
  • Ironic Echo: One of ustad's line when Juna films a scene in barefoot on a really hot day is "heat of the street is nothing compared to hell". After Juna can't take the heat anymore and takes the ustad actor's sandals, he quotes back the ustad's line.
  • Malaproper: For this episode, Alexi wrongly says "melinjo" instead of "meninjau" (observe) and "memedi" (ghost) instead of "semedi" (meditation).
  • Not What It Looks Like: Since he wants Mami Bibir to left him alone with Melani, Alexi reminds Mami Bibir about the half billion rupiah that he gave her, shocking Melani since it looks like Mami Bibir was bribed. Mami Bibir explains that the money is for agency stuff and not a bribe.
  • Shout-Out: Near the end, Bambang tells Melani it's okay to feel touched "before feeling touched is forbidden", referencing Warkop DKI's recurring line "laugh before laughter is forbidden".
  • Smelly Feet Gag: Juna asks the others to blow his burned feet with their mouth. Mami Bibir would, until she smells how stink they are and leave. Poor Topan is forced into blowing it while smelling the odor.
  • Tempting Fate: Right after Prima and Juna talk about how the barefoot scene doesn't need a second take, a crew tells Akbar that they need one.

"Looks like I'm always wrong in your eyes. If that so, tomorrow I will move to your nose. Hopefully your nose doesn't have the flu."
