Locked Out

Locked Out is the 37th video of SML Shorts.

Synopsis
Mario gets locked out of the house. Will Jeffy let him in?

Plot
The video starts off with Mario giving Jeffy his peas and Coke. Jeffy immediately throws his Coke away, and admits that he wants chocolate cake. Mario promises him chocolate cake if he eats all his peas. While Mario gets Jeffy's Coke, Jeffy hides his peas in his high chair before saying that he is all done. However, Mario questions Jeffy, asking him if his peas are on the floor. Mario checks the floor, and at first falls for it, before checking the seat. He finds Jeffy's peas under the seat and gets mad, not giving Jeffy any chocolate cake. Jeffy then starts crying, trying to get Mario to remember that he promised.

Mario then gets a plate of chocolate cake from the fridge and prepares to eat it in front of him when he finds out that Jeffy is missing. He then looks at the back door, which is open, and sighs before looking for Jeffy outside. Jeffy then uhns behind him, and Mario realizes that Jeffy is going to shut the door. He tries to hurry back inside but Jeffy locks the door in the nick of time. Mario checks every window and tries to get Jeffy to unlock the door, but Jeffy just uhns at him and shuts the curtains every single time.

Mario tries to run to the front door, but Jeffy closes it before he can get inside. The same happens when Mario tries to get inside the garage, only for Jeffy to shut the garage door. Mario finds out that he can get through the top window with a ladder and climbs up to the window where Jeffy surprisingly finds Mario. Mario lies to Jeffy claiming that he has medicine to take, but Jeffy doesn't believe Mario and closes the window.

Mario then climbs down when Brooklyn T. Guy as a police officer shines a flashlight on Mario and finds him trying to get inside the house. Mario states that his retarded roommate locked him out, but Brooklyn thinks that Mario has a grudge against somebody. He comes up with a new theory, believing that Mario has been drinking. Mario then gets Brooklyn to help him get inside by trying the front door.

Mario knocks on the door, but he knows that Jeffy won't answer. He then tries the doorbell, and Jeffy does answer the door, with the plate of chocolate cake in his hand. Mario immediately rushes to get inside but Brooklyn T. Guy stops him, mistaking the house for Jeffy's own house, and getting Jeffy's age wrong as well, calling him a "man" (or an adult). Jeffy lies to Brooklyn, saying that he never saw Mario in his life. Brooklyn buys the lie and takes Mario away, who struggles to get out of his clutches.

Mario is offended and Brooklyn asks Mario to leave the property, still believing Jeffy is the grown adult owner of the house, which is clearly not true because Jeffy is a retarded child. As if that wasn't enough, he thinks that Jeffy has money, due to proof that Jeffy answered the door holding chocolate cake. He adds that if he gets another notice that Mario is at the house, Mario goes to jail, or as Brooklyn calls it, "the slammer", before leaving and calling Mario a "drunk bastard" under his breath. Mario calls Jeffy's name in astonishment.

Mario tries to get warm outside, but then he finds out that he can get inside through the attic. He gets the ladder and enters the attic, without being caught. He then finds the air vent and tries to get inside. While crawling through the air vent, he vows to punch Jeffy in his "retarded face" and kill him. Unbeknownst to him, Mario falls from the air vent onto the floor in the living room, getting knocked out upon impact. Jeffy finds Mario and looks up at the air vent and then at him, before picking up Mario's body and throwing it out, without Mario to interfere as he's still unconscious from the fall.

Mario finds a camera to speak to Jeffy (who is eating his cake, throwing his sippy cup and saying "whoops"), and asks Jeffy what he is doing. Jeffy happily says he is eating his cake, and asks Mario what he is doing. Mario replies, yelling that he's "freezing his a** off", and shouting at him to let him inside. Jeffy just simply says "no". Mario then begs Jeffy to let him in, saying that he will do whatever Jeffy wants. Jeffy caves in, and admits he wants more cake and asks Mario to get some more. Mario says he will get the biggest chocolate cakes and runs away.

Later, the doorbell rings. Jeffy answers the door and finds a birthday cake-looking chocolate cake on the house doorstep. Jeffy picks it up and brings it to the dining room. Jeffy then uhns five times, happily beginning to eat it. Jeffy picks up the fork when a bump appears on the cake. It turns out that Mario was disguised as chocolate cake in an attempt to get inside, and a chocolate-covered Mario comes out from the cake, scaring Jeffy. As a result, Jeffy thinks that Mario is a chocolate cake monster and runs away, with Mario chasing Jeffy.

Jeffy then runs outside, and Mario idiotically follows him, only for him to realize that he's been locked out again, and Jeffy won't let him inside because he still mistakes Mario as a chocolate cake monster. It doesn't last long before Brooklyn T. Guy catches Mario, and simply says "just get in the car". Mario admits that he "knows", and is forced to get in the car, now arrested.

Feeling victorious, Jeffy sits on the couch, with his chocolate cake in his hand, and he turns on the TV with the remote right next to him. A breaking news report comes on, with Goodman reporting Mario, mistaking him for a "drunk chocolate cake man". He quotes, "a drunk man has just been arrested for trying to break into someone's house, while he was covered in chocolate cake". Jeffy simply stares at the TV before ending the video with one phrase: "Why you do that?"

Reception
Locked Out was extremely and insanely criticized and received generally negative reviews, and was brutally panned among the SML fan community as well as viewers in general. It is arguably the second most controversial SML video of all time, with over 4,000 dislikes, as well as being the most hated SML Short of all time, and beating out Jeffy's Bad Word! for most disliked. It wasn't exactly controversial, though,

Many fans hated this video due to Jeffy locking Mario out of the house. Jeffy was also being a bad boy by trying to hide the peas in his seat to get chocolate cake, crying obnoxiously for chocolate cake, and finally locking Mario out just so he could teabag chocolate cake, despite Jeffy needing to eat his peas. Brooklyn T. Guy's scene with Mario and arresting him was "Mario's undeserving punishment". Jeffy's fans have diminished even more, because of this episode. However, most Jeffy fans who were left gave the video positive reviews.

Dabhdude stated in his reaction video description "Well it STARTED good..." He did laugh at the part where Jeffy spills his peas, did impressions of Jeffy during the video, cracked up at the window scene, liked the "Chocolate Cake monster" name that Jeffy called Mario, and screamed at the breaking news segment, because he didn't want Logan to end the video like that. He took time to process his feelings and what to say. He stated "It was funny! It was really funny! On the other hand, Mario got another undeserved consequence, [...]. We can't go with the excuse that Jeffy didn't know what he was doing because we know that Jeffy knew perfectly what he was doing." He gave it a 3.5/10 (He almost gave it a 3 but he was feeling generous that day). He liked the jokes but not the consequences obviously. He did think it would be a good video stating "Jeffy trying to keep Mario out... or something. And Mario has to eventually try all these tactics to get in." He wanted the video "to be over the top and simple." "Granted, it was still funny, but I think that had there been more jokes, it would have negated the ending and that's saying something because there were quite a few jokes in here." "Not awful, by any means, but not amazing either."

The video caused GamecubeDude300 to finally reach his breaking point with Jeffy and he said that he will upload a video regarding about Jeffy.

A new SML Reviewer YouTuber named, SML ReviewsandReactions, who just started his account, rated this 8.5/10.

Another new SML Reviewer named Multisonic_247 gave the video a 1/10, stating that it was an undeserved punishment for Mario and that he did nothing wrong. He also stated that Jeffy had no consequences and he was rewarded for his cruelty instead. He hated it when Jeffy said he has never seen Mario, and hated it even more when he got arrested, along with the news report. He claimed "the only thing close to being good is the chocolate cake monster scene".

A SML Review Community member named SuperMarioCipher said that the video could've been saved if Rosalina appeared in this video. However, in Turkey Tyranny!, Rosalina laughed from telling her parents about the video, although she could've not known that Mario got arrested as the newscast called Mario a "drunk chocolate cake man". SuperMarioCipher gave it a 0/5 and a F++.

Logan's Response
In the description and comments section, Logan said that he won't make "Mario Torture/Bad Jeffy" videos from now on, after he received a lot of hate for the video.

Trivia

 * The events of this short took place on Logan Thirtyacre's 22nd Birthday,
 * Additionally, since Mario is one of his personas, it could also be Mario's birthday too, as it was revealed in Rosalina's Ex-Boyfriend! that Mario's birthday is in November.
 * This is the first time Rosalina does not appear in a Jeffy video since The Hitman!.
 * This is the 3rd time Mario unfairly gets arrested. The first being Black Yoshi's Blank Check! and the second being the second most hated episode, Jeffy's Bad Word!.
 * This is the 1st time Jeffy appears in an SML Short since Bowser Junior's Nerf War!
 * Jeffy's dislike of peas returns from Jeffy Gets Potty Trained!.
 * This episode reveals that one of Jeffy's favorite treats is chocolate cake.
 * After all the hate comments the video has received, Logan responded in the comments section and the description saying that this video's purpose was for Jeffy fans and a non-Jeffy video will be uploaded on the weekend.
 * He also said that he won't make videos of Mario being tortured anymore, meaning that this is the final episode Mario gets tortured by Jeffy.
 * This video marks the first appearance of the attic.
 * This is currently the most hated SML Short to date.
 * This video reveals that Jeffy is fine after getting the flu in Jeffy's Flu Shot!
 * Logan announced that there will be a new video this Saturday, if they don't like this video. However, the video was never uploaded on Saturday. He probably referred to Sunday. A real video upload day.
 * This is the 9th video to be filmed at the new house.
 * Logan has tried everything to calm the SML fans down. but the hate kept rising, prior to The Past Machine!.
 * This is the second time SML fans awfully got salty, the first time being Jeffy's Bad Word!
 * Starting with this video, Jeffy wears a new diaper.
 * Mario could've just smashed the window to get in however the neighbours possibly would've heard it and the police would get involved or if Mario let Jeffy have his way, this wouldn't have happened.
 * This is the most disliked video to be filmed at the new house.

Errors

 * Brooklyn T. Guy shouldn't have arrested Mario because he gave Mario the house in The New House!. However, it is possible there are different Brooklyn T. Guys in the SML universe (as implied in Meet The Cast: Chris), thus explaining this.
