Go To

Kevin does something about gun control in Paradise but Randall fights back. Meanwhile, Dusty forces Bullet to make embarrassing YouTube videos for him.

Tropes

  • Bait-and-Switch: Fitz and his dolphin wife role-play in bed as a dolphin and a Japanese fisherman, with Fitz being the dolphin, despite his wife already being a dolphin.
  • Bestiality Is Depraved: Fitz has a threesome with his dolphin wife and an octopus girl and by going down a dolphin hole and an octopus hole, Fitz sends himself even deeper down the rabbit hole.
    Aquarium Guy: This maniac just fucked an octopus! Hey, with all due respect, Mrs. Dolphin, your husband's a fucking weirdo.
  • Body Paint: Dusty has to paint his pants on because his skin absorbs things if it's on him for too long.
  • Call-Back:
    • Dusty references the time Bullet killed all of his cats.
    • When the members of the NRA pull down their pants in the airport, Petey from "Ice Ice Babies" happens to stroll by and get scarred for life again.
  • Embarrassing Animal Suit: Bullet's bunny rabbit costume.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Despite making crude jokes and passes at celebrities, Bullet finds Dusty's cheap shots against Lena Dunham to be a low blow.
    Bullet: Oh, that's a cheap shot, even for us.
  • Fourth Wall: Bullet breaks the fourth wall several times to insult Cobra Kai and Dusty breaks the fourth wall several times to insult Lena Dunham.
  • Fun with Acronyms: "NRA" actually stands for "Nards Removed Association" and is an organization of people who are so ashamed about having inadequate dicks and balls, that they compensate with their massive firearms.
  • Gun Nut: Randall becomes one of these, giving smart guns to everybody in Paradise, including children, the mentally ill, known murderers, and blind people.
  • Immediate Self-Contradiction: Bullet refuses to dress like a bunny and dance around on the internet for Dusty, claiming he'd never put on a ridiculous costume and humiliate himself. Just then, he puts on a German girl costume and slaps a gay German businessman in the ass with a giant sausage.
    German Businessman: Ooh, yeah. Smack me where I schiza!
  • Instant Humiliation: Just Add YouTube!: Dusty uploads several embarrassing videos of Bullet dancing around dressed as a bunny rabbit to YouTube for views.
  • Jerkass: Dusty bribes Bullet with blowquila to make him embarrass himself on the internet just to give him clout. Dusty made the promise to get Bullet out of his stupid costume if he met his demands but once his demands were met, Dusty ripped his costume's zipper off on purpose, imprisoning him in his costume forever just to spite him.
  • Smart Gun: This concept is the main premise of the episode. In this universe, smart guns are anthropomorphic guns that all have cute little names, funny catchphrases, and act as a "little buddy" to the people they're assigned with.
  • Status Quo Is God: Subverted. This episode opens with Randall directly referencing to the events of the previous episode, reminding Kevin that despite this being the next episode, his disgusting actions will not be forgotten.
    Randall: So, are we not gunna talk about how you made a margarita out of my jizz?
  • Straw Character: The NRA and anti-gun control Republicans are made to look like hypocritical morons in this episode.
