Recap / SMG 4 The Inspection

Go To

SMG3's panicking cause the health inspector's coming and he gotta hide all his BOMBS 💣💣

III's Bombs and Coffee is in prisitine condition and SMG3's bombs hidden someplace safe when the dreaded health inspector- Swagmaster- arrives for an unexpected visit. Once the panic is over and Swag is on his way, he, SMG4 and Mario are barely saved from being blown upnote  by the Demoman, who, interested in the bombs, wants them for free. Just as the trio is helping him load them in his truck, Swagmaster returns with an army- and a surprise twist that forces the quartet to fight for their lives to protect the shipment.


  • Brick Joke: In his haste to clean up his shop at the episode's very beginning, SMG3 tosses out a large bomb which blows up Shroomy, seen eating outside. Later during the inspection, when Swagmaster picks up a pineapple-painted grenade, SMG3 throws it through the wall... and smack into Shroomy again.
    Shroomy: (after another explosion) OH, GOD! It ain't Shroomy's day today...
  • Butt-Monkey: Poor Shroomy finds himself the butt of the above-mentioned explosive Brick Joke.
  • Chekhov's Gunman: The Demoman seems to be just a joke character killed off by his over-excitment for SMG3's bombs... until he returns midway into the episode and sways them into holding them off from exploding for now in the Glitchy Gang's castle, saving Mario and the SMGs, as well as being a surprisingly efficent motivational speaker (in his own zany way, of course) to help the trio turn the tide on Swagmaster during their Team Fortress 2-esque showdown.
  • Dope Slap: SMG3 nails SMG4 (for asking why just doesn't sell bombs anymore to prevent further trouble) and Mario (for foolishly trying to defuse the bombs he lit with a flamethrower) with a hard one at two different points. The former returns the favor when SMG3 protests over giving the Demoman all his bombs for free.
  • Halfway Plot Switch: The episode starts with a focus on the titular inspection, but once SMG3 passes, it switches to the bombs he gave Mario to hide.
  • True Meaning of Christmas: Played for Laughs at the end.
    Demoman: I hope you all learnt the valuable meaning of Christmas.
    SMG4: But... Christmas is next week's episode.
    Demoman: Oh... well... don't do drugs, kids!
  • Twist Villain: Swagmaster seems to be an ordinary health inspector at first... but it later turns out he's the leader of an enemy team who want to swipe SMG3's bombs for himself.
  • Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: Twice in the same episode. At first, it seems like all SMG3 needed to worry about was passing the health and safety inspection. Once he does, it's revealed that Mario hid the bombs that would undoubtedly fail SMG3 at the castle... after lighting them, and defusing them becomes the next conflict. After that is taken care of thanks to Demoman, it then it turns out that Swagmaster passed off as an inspector to steal SMG3's bombs.
