Jeffy's Tantrum! is the 43rd video of SML Shorts.

Synposis
Jeffy wants a game on the app store but Mario won't buy it for him!

Plot
Jeffy wants Mario's credit card number so he can buy a $2.99 Spongebob app, but Mario already bought Jeffy an app last week. Jeffy freaks out and insists that he's bored of the app that Mario bought for him last week and demands Mario for the SpongeBob app. This results in a fight in which they they both repeat themselves. Finally, Jeffy threatens to run away from home if Mario doesn't buy him the game, which he does. Suddenly, the doorbell rings and Mario answers it to find Jeffy wearing a typical glass and mustache disguise, inquiring Mario to purchase the app, but Mario believes it's him. Suddenly, Jeffy shows up behind Mario, revealing that the Jeffy at the door wasn't the real Jeffy. The real Jeffy resumes the fight with Mario and demands he can't run away without the app, and threatens to hold his breath until he dies if he doesn't get the game. He attempts to do so, but ends up breathing in the end. When Mario finally yells at Jeffy that he's NOT buying the game, Jeffy begins bawling.

As Mario walks away, Jeffy continues to flip out and throws the couch off the balcony in a fit of rage, threatening this time to keep throwing stuff until he gets the game. The final straw is when he throws Mario's TV off the balcony. This is Mario's breaking point, and he begins to beat Jeffy with the belt. Two weeks later, Jeffy is now traumatized and dressing up like Death, implying that he has now become suicidal as a result of the beating. Jeffy even threatens to cut himself to death, but is stopped by Mario, so Jeffy then tries to hang himself until Junior shows up and offers him an $10 iTunes card that Jeffy can use to buy the app himself. As Jeffy leaves with the card, Junior decides to play with the noose. Meanwhile, Mario has now "replaced" the couch (see Trivia) and Jeffy breaks the news to him about the card. However, Jeffy is met with the news that Mario sold Jeffy's iPad to buy the new couch. The episode ends with Jeffy dropping the iTunes card and letting out an earth-shaking scream: "ARE YOU F*CKING HIGH!?"

Reception
Jeffy's Tantrum! is a very polarized video, with positive, negative, and mixed reviews by SML critics and fans, and especially ones who heavily disliked Jeffy's character derailment and attitude in the episode while liking the emo Jeffy scenes. Some Jeffy haters thought this was another Mario torture video, while others said that all Mario had to do was buy the game, leaving it as Jeffy torture. Fans also deemed the video Jeffy Torture due to the ending.

Fans also criticized the video about Jeffy's swearing was not funny and very irritating. MarioLuigiGCFan stated "It's like adding a turd to a roadkill skunk, it certainly doesn't help the situation".

Just before the video was uploaded, Logan predicted that people would hate the video because of its short length, though he liked the video

SML Actor Lovell Stanton also liked the video, saying it was funny despite it being a short video.

GamecubeDude300 said that this video was a fair video and also pointed out that before this video that people on his Twitter said that this was a bad video. But he said that in Locked Out!, THAT was a Jeffy torture video because all the bad stuff was happening to Mario. Also, he also mentioned that this wasn't really a Jeffy torture video and wouldn't call it one.

Kushowa said the video was pretty funny, but questioned why there were 2 Jeffys in the Jeffy salesman scene. He's also one of many fans to question Rosalina's absence.

Trivia

 * This is the first episode to feature a number of things:
 * The first time the viewers see Jeffy become emo.
 * The first episode on the thumbnail to have Jeffy’s angry expression.
 * The first time Jeffy goes purple with rage.
 * Which makes him the third character to cry, and get angry at the same time.
 * The first time Mario beats Jeffy with a belt.
 * This also makes him the second character to beat someone up with a belt.
 * The first episode where Jeffy loses his temper.
 * Mario has the same thumbnail pose as Mario's Hobo Problem! and Locked Out! where his eyebrows are slanted so that he looks angry.
 * Jeffy's highly controversial reception has returned in this episode, unless if we get another SML video that is similar to Jeffy's Parents!.
 * This is the first time we've seen Jeffy become emo.
 * Jeffy being emo is similar to how Bowser Junior would act differently whenever he is traumatized, depressed, or irritated just like in Bowser Junior's Punishment!.
 * The SML question is the same as the question in Jeffy's Mistake!.
 * This marks the first time someone else plays as Jeffy (during the Jeffy in disguise scene), not counting the animal noises.
 * This is the first SML Video to have Jeffy's angry face in the thumbnail.
 * This also makes him the second character to get beat with a belt, the first is Bowser Junior.
 * Mario may have gotten the idea to beat Jeffy with a belt from Bowser.
 * It's also the 4th time overall Mario beats Jeffy, first being Jeffy's Bad Word!, 2nd being The Hitman!, and 3rd being First Day Of School!.
 * The SpongeBob SquarePants game is "SpongeBob Moves In!"
 * This is the 12th time that Bowser Junior dies.
 * The way we see the earth shake by Jeffy's shouting, "ARE YOU FUCKING HIGH?!" is similar to how we see the earth shake by Bowser Junior's screaming from his leg breaking in Bowser Junior's Broken Leg! and Shrek's massive crap in The Ring!
 * This is the 3rd time Jeffy breaks stuff, 1st being in Jeffy's Mistake!, 2nd being Nintendo Switch.
 * Jeffy's crying is very similar to the way he cried in The Quiet Game!
 * This is also one of the few times in which Jeffy is called a bad boy and doesn't cry. Other episodes where this happened was in The Quiet Game! and in Turkey Tyranny!
 * Many elements from this episode, such as a character becoming suicidal after a traumatic event, might've been borrowed from Bowser Junior's Punishment!
 * Once again, Jeffy uses the words, "ARE YOU FUCKING HIGH?!". However, at the end of the video, he sounded more furious when he said it. This is because Mario sold his iPad for a new couch. That basically means that Jeffy went emo and got the iTunes card from Junior for nothing.
 * Jeffy makes reference to the fact that his puppet only has 8 fingers when Mario tells him he has to wait until Christmas to get his game.
 * This episode is possibly one of the most subjective ones to date.
 * This is the 6th time Jeffy does not spank his diaper.
 * This is the most popular SML Short.

Errors

 * It's unknown how Jeffy was strong enough to carry the couch all by himself.
 * Spongebob Moves In! is not actually a "new" game, having been released on June 6, 2013.
 * If Mario sold Jeffy's iPad, then Jeffy could have just used his phone to get the game instead. It's possible he forgot and didn't think about it.
 * Once again, Jeffy did not say "RAPE!!". However, in the scene where he was emo, he say that Mario beat him.
