User blog:AustinDR/The WORST SML Videos

Well, here's my list of the worst videos from SuperMarioLogan. SuperMarioLogan, otherwise known as SML, is a webseries featuring plushie and puppet characters. I had watched the series for quite some time, but it's kind of a guilty pleasure for me. Some episodes are genuinely entertaining, others are pretty average. But then, there's these episodes....whether they be poorly written or unfunny, these episodes had managed to leave a bad taste in my mouth.

1. "Jeffy's Bad Word": I'll say this now: I absolutely hate this waste of a character. He is annoying, idiotic, vulgar, just downright unlikable. While I hated this little brat already, this episode solidified my seething loath for this little brat. In the episode, Mario takes Jeffy to Wal-Mart with him, since you shouldn't leave someone like Jeffy home alone. While pulling into a parking space, the hobo from "Mario's Hobo Problem" jumps out of nowhere nearly getting hit by the car. Infuriated, Mario calls him the F-word (no, the other one), and naturally, Jeffy takes a liking for the word. This ends up being problematic for Mario when he is beaten up by a black man (who was already peeved to see that Mario wasn't going to buy black light bulbs) who took offense by the word. This leads to Mario rightfully giving Jeffy a whooping. I would've loved the episode here, but unfortunately, it keeps going. Believing that Mario violated him, Jeffy dials up the police, and Mario is arrested. But that's not all; he's made to register as a sex offender, his driver's license is revoked (and the hobo pretends to have received injuries from Mario despite not getting hit), Rosalina's not by his side, etc. The worst aspect of this is Jeffy gets away with everything. He's never made to pay for ruining Mario's public image, and don't be using the "oh, he's just stupid" argument on me as he clearly knows what he's doping. There are actually a few funny gems in this episode - I especially loved the "Black Lives Matter" reference. Otherwise, it is a total train wreck of an episode.

2. "Cody's Birthday": In this episode, Junior and Joseph find out that today was Cody's birthday. Cody explains to him that he was born on February 29th - a leap year - so that theoretically makes him 2 years old. Oh, boy you know what's coming. Junior and Joseph throw Cody a birthday, but it's clearly so they can poke fun at him. Now, they do take jabs at Cody now and again, but in this episode, I found it degrading. Nothing about their mocking was remotely humorous. They demean Cody, they loudly insist that they had every right to treat him like a baby, and the like. I really wanted Cody to get revenge on the boys for throwing him such a piss poor excuse for a birthday party, but unfortunately there was no such catharsis.

3. "Mario the Babysitter": Ah, yes; the episode that started it all. This episode introduces Jeffy, and what a terrible debut it was. It only paved the way for more terrible episodes starring this idiot of a character. Mario is made to take care of Jeffy after his negligent parents drop him on the doorstep one day. That is seriously the worst case of child neglect I have ever heard. Anyway, Mario gets quickly annoyed by Jeffy's antics, and he to get him off his back. Right when it seems that the episode was only a dream that Mario was having, it unfortunately ends with Jeffy knocking on Mario's door confirming that he was real.

4. "The Drone": Cody introduces a drone that he had created in this episode, and everything starts off relatively well...until Junior sticks his tongue out, and the titular drone slices it off. This is why several fans of the series despise this episode as it was pointless gore for the sake of pointless gore. And then Chef Pee Pee gets his eye ripped out by the same drone and....nauseousness everywhere.

5. "The Gun": The boys discover a gun, and they fear that it may be connected to a serial murder case. In a nutshell, Junior accidentally shoots Cody, Junior cuts his arm off and then cuts Chef Pee Pee's arm off when he accidentally touches the gun. But then it turns out that it wasn't the murder weapon in the first place, so all of this was basically for nothing.

7. "Jeffy's Favorite Song": Another Jeffy episode. As the title suggests, Jeffy discovers the "Bunny Do" song, and falls in love with it. Sure enough, he plays it continually much to Mario's chagrin. This episode was boring for the most part, but the bad part was the end. After playing the song nonstop, Jeffy finally falls asleep to Mario's relief. However, the bunny from the song manifests as a demonic abomination, and eats Mario. You could even hear Mario's skull crushing underneath the rabbit's razor sharp teeth. Yeah.....

8. "Mario's Hobo Problem": After Shrek did.....well his business.....Mario hires a hobo to unclog the toilet, but naturally the hobo is an idiot, so he does the opposite. I hated this episode because it legitimately made me nauseous, especially when they show you Shrek's backside masterpiece. Just why?

9. "Chef Pee Pee's Lottery Ticket": Chef Pee Pee wins the lottery, and he finally gets to rip into all of the characters that make his life a living hell. But then it turns out that the lottery ticket was old. So, Chef Pee Pee goes back to his life of daily torture. Yay.....

10. "Jeffys' Sister": Think Jeffy's bad? Well, how would you like two of 'em? In this episode, Jeffy is revealed to have a sister named Feebee who is just as dumb as he is. Believe me, it was really hard for me to even finish the episode without clicking away. Feebee is equally as annoying as Jeffy, and it nearly drives Mario to the brink of insanity. At the very least, it turns out that it was a dream. So she doesn't exist. At least, I hope she doesn't.

11. "Bowser Junior's Package": Bowser Junior sees an advertisement for a substance called Gak on the internet, and he orders it. However when the package ends up not arriving by the due date, Junior fears for the worse. The worst moment of the episode is when Junior interrogates his father only to then murder him as to get out of being punished. Yes, he killed his own dad over something as measly as Gak. However, this episode is low on my list as I didn't feel it crawling under my skin.
