"Jeffy's 18th Birthday!" (also known as The SuperMarioLogan Movie!, simply The SML Movie!, or The SML Movie: Jeffy's 18th Birthday!) is a 37-minute special episode directed by Logan Thirtyacre. It also counts as the 737th episode of SML Movies. It was Logan's most ambitious and hyped project yet.

Synopsis

It's Jeffy's 18th birthday!

Plot

The video starts off with both Brooklyn Guy and Simmons checking on Bubbles' cell. Later, we are shown that Nancy is seen rushing to finish digging a hole in the Concrete wall. Off-camera she finishes and escape the prison which Brooklyn Guy and Simmons notice and find out she dug a hole and escaped the prison. The prison goes into lock down and Nancy is seen escaping the prison. In the next scene, Screwball can be seen coming out of his van with red spray paint and spray paints "FREE CANDY" on the side along with looking at a drawing for accuracy. Screwball then drives off with the van to kidnap some children as he begins his usual hobby. While driving, Nancy spots his van and flags him down. When she asks Screwball to give her a ride, he initially refuses, but then accepts after she offers him $50,000 to help kidnap Jeffy. After Screwball picks up Nancy, Brooklyn Guy and Simmons report the escape to the chief and when the chief threatens to fire Brooklyn Guy by the next day if they didn't find Nancy, they try to find her.

Meanwhile, Marvin sets up Jeffy's 18th birthday party and makes Rose proud. Chef Pee Pee goes out to get 50 more balloons, and when Marvin spills the beans, Rose finds out that Marvin wants Jeffy gone so he can get rich and she protests against it.

Marvin wakes up Jeffy to wish him a happy birthday and gives Jeffy a box of candy for breakfast and a crown that says, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY". Jeffy takes off his bunny suit and puts his regular clothes on, just around the same time Chef Pee Pee finishes making Jeffy's cake. Marvin asks Chef Pee Pee where the 50 balloons are, and he responds saying that the store didn't have any. Jeffy goes on to say how cool the birthday is, and Marvin spills the beans about the money again. Jeffy then asks Marvin if he can throw and break a glass cup which Marvin hesitantly agrees and almost gets mad at Jeffy but remembers about the money. Jeffy's friends then arrive to the birthday party.

Jeffy's friends then arrive to the birthday party and talk about everything Jeffy can do because he is now 18 years old. Patrick then talks about regarding that he wants to own a gun, and Cody then threatens to run away from him when he turns 18.

The white van saying "FREE CANDY" then arrives to the SML house. After Jeffy and friends discuss about the LGBTQ napkins, Screwball arrives at the house, waiting to kidnap Jeffy. Marvin opens the door, not knowing about Screwball and Nancy's plan on kidnapping Jeffy. Screwball pretends to strip, satisfying both Jeffy and Cody. When he tries to take Jeffy to his van to get his balloons, Marvin refuses so Screwball gets angry and he said that he is going to take Jeffy to his van whether Marvin likes it or not. So, Marvin kicks Screwball out, despite his apology.

Screwball returns to the van and explains the situation to Nancy, who is furious. She starts insulting him. Screwball is terribly upset about being yelled at and tries to think up a plan. While this happens, Jeffy hits his piñata with a bat, and everyone gets their candy. During the commotion, Screwball fishes up Patrick and shows him to Nancy. Nancy corrects him, saying that Screwball took the wrong kid. Nancy tells Screwball that he needs to die since he knows about the van. Patrick, oblivious, doesn't know where he's at and likes the van, and so refuses to tell anyone. Nancy instead spares his life and orders him to run and to NOT stop for anything or even look back (under the threat of death). Patrick agrees and runs away.

Everyone is about to sing Jeffy Happy Birthday, and Jeffy requests the song to be sang to him 18 times and for the attendees to dress up like him while doing so. We then cut to the red couch, where Marvin and Rose are complaining about the outfits, with Marvin trying to cover up the fact that he is only doing this for the money. On the news, it's then revealed that Jacques Pierre Francois, Jeffy's biological father is still alive, and Goodman talks to him. Jacques reveals that he used a decoy which was a pig and threw it off a bridge and since it splattered into pieces, it was unrecognizable. Goodman rants about how he paid $200,000,000 for a now worthless painting, only For Jacques to reply, "That is, as you Americans say, too bad so sad." When Goodman asks if he will pay Jeffy, the camera pans over and Jacques denies it and tells Jeffy to fuck off. He then goes off to celebrate at "McDonalking". Marvin, obviously, is furious about this since now he and Jeffy won't get any money. He and Rose argue, and Marvin threatens to kick Jeffy out of the house since Jeffy won't be inheriting anything from Jacques.

Screwball and Nancy then pull up by the house, Nancy tells Screwball to play silly music by the house to lure the kids out and to snatch Jeffy. Junior, Joseph, Cody and Jeffy all come out for the "ice cream." Cody points out the suspicion and tells them it isn’t a good idea, but Junior, Joseph and Jeffy are oblivious and go to the van anyway. They meet with Screwball who tells them that "he has all the candy" and to meet him at the back of the van. Cody becomes even more suspicious, but the oblivious Jeffy, Joseph and Junior disagree and go to the back of the van anyway.

After Screwball comes from the back of the truck, Joseph asks for a Snickers bar but there's really only tape and rope. Screwball says there are no Snickers. Then Junior asks for a Starburst, but he doesn’t have it either. Then Marvin in the Jeffy costume notices the truck and intervenes. Telling all the kids to get out when he arrives. But at the right moment Screwball, thinking Marvin is Jeffy, catches him and they drive off.

Rose lights the candles, and they sing Happy Birthday to Jeffy. He blows out the candles, and Rose, and the other attendees, sing it again while Nancy pulls over in an open area. We cut to the red couch, the party having just ended. Jeffy and Rose watch the news. They learn that Nancy has escaped from solitary confinement. Jeffy gets scared, but Rose reassures him that she'll protect him from Nancy at any cost. Jeffy changes the channel to porn, which Rose tries to turn off but fails. Meanwhile in the van, Screwball says he has Jeffy, but when Nancy looks over to see him, she realizes it's actually Marvin, recognizing him as "the bozo who put her in jail" and Marvin recognizes her as Jeffy's real mom. She then tells Marvin that he'll be held hostage, until Jeffy gives Nancy his money. Despite Marvin's attempt to tell her that she is out of luck due to Jacques being alive and refusing to give Jeffy a single penny, she threatens to kill Marvin by the end of the day if she doesn't get the money.

Nancy decides to call Marvin's family using Screwball's phone. She calls Jeffy first, who picks up his phone, and in an improvised accent tells Marvin that he got the wrong number. Nancy then calls Rose and forces Marvin to talk to her, with Rose accusing him of “calling from a side chick's phone". Marvin tells Rose he is kidnapped, but Rose calls him "a liar and a deadbeat father" and promptly hangs up. Afterwards, Nancy decides to call Rose herself from her own phone. Rose picks up, and Nancy threatens Marvin's life if Rose doesn't give her $5,000,000. Rose initially doesn't believe her, thinking that this is another scheme from Marvin. Once Nancy reveals the details, Rose tells her that she unfortunately, she does not have the money. Nancy threatens to kill Marvin immediately, until Rose offers to call her back in 5 minutes. Nancy, however, had unfortunately called from a blocked number, to she gives Screwball's phone number to Rose. (Which turns out to be 555 555 5556)

Brooklyn Guy arrives to the house, saying that "there is a goon on the loose" (referring to Nancy). Rose reveals that said goon has Marvin hostage and that she has her number. (Not knowing that said phone number is actually Screwball's)

Brooklyn Guy shows Rose his car, shows the features and takes a ride around the neighborhood, despite Rose's protests. Afterwards, they go back inside and Brooklyn Guy calls Nancy on his own phone. He informs Nancy that he and Simmons are working for the police department, and they threaten to "kick her ass". Nancy then reveals, much to Brooklyn Guy's dismay, that she has a hostage. (Namely, Marvin). Brooklyn Guy asks her demands. She then tells Brooklyn Guy and Simmons to bring Jeffy and $5,000,000 to a field in 1 hour, and to not bring weapons, which Brooklyn Guy reluctantly agrees.

Meanwhile, Nancy reveals to Marvin and Screwball that she has a gun and plans to shoot if necessary. Screwball says that that's unfair since the cops don't have one, but Nancy tells him that he doesn't care about fairness. Brooklyn Guy, Simmons and Jeffy then pull up, with Brooklyn Guy telling Jeffy to stay inside the car for his own safety. Brooklyn Guy then closes the door on his hand and reveals himself to Nancy. Nancy then shows a gun, threatening to shoot Marvin if she doesn't see the money. Brooklyn Guy and Simmons say it's not fair, but Nancy says she doesn't care and to give her the money, threatening to shoot Marvin, Brooklyn Guy, and Simmons one after the other. They then reveal that they don't have the money, due to being tricked into not bringing weapons. Nancy then loads the gun, threatening to kill Marvin, but Brooklyn Guy offers to trade Jeffy instead. Nancy agrees, and Jeffy comes outside the car and towards the officers. Nancy then releases Marvin and tells Jeffy to come over to her. Marvin runs to Brooklyn Guy, Simmons and Jeffy.

Realizing that they have no other choice, Jeffy relentingly agrees to walk over. Nancy takes Jeffy, offering to make another deal with the cops when they "decide to stop playing games". She then closes the van door and Screwball drives away. Marvin demands the cops do something, to which Brooklyn Guy reminds him that they are unarmed. Simmons reminds Brooklyn Guy that they have a sniper rifle in the trunk, to which Brooklyn Guy orders Simmons to "camp out somewhere" and shoot the van's tires. Simmons agrees and Brooklyn Guy and Marvin enter the police car and start chasing the van.

In the van, Nancy realizes that they're being chased and tells Screwball to speed up. Jeffy takes the opportunity and hits Nancy, causing her to drop her handgun, causing them to fight for it. After Brooklyn Guy makes some "corny cop puns", we cut back to the van where Nancy has gained the upper hand, and has the gun pointed at Jeffy's head. She reveals to Jeffy that she never loved him and calls him an "accident" even threatening to kill Jeffy and bury him in the deepest hole she can find after she "gets her money", and kill Marvin and Rose as well, causing Jeffy to scream for help. Back in the car, Brooklyn Guy runs out of gas while trying to do a pit maneuver. As a last resort, he tells Simmons to shoot the tires, which he agrees to, but he accidentally shoots the gas cap, causing the van to explode, presumably killing everyone inside. Devastated, the officers and Marvin return home where Rose reunites with Marvin and asks what happened and where Jeffy is. Marvin explains what happened. He and Rose then mourn for Jeffy's death. Brooklyn T. Guy and Simmons are then seen outside, where Brooklyn Guy reprimands Simmons and explains "the difference between gas caps and tires".

Just when it looks like as if this is all over for them, they suddenly hear a voice, realizing that Jeffy is on the couch, telling them that he had to walk 50 miles getting eaten by mosquitoes on his birthday to get back. Rose and Marvin are overjoyed about this, and Jeffy reveals how he survived.

Before the van explodes, Screwball tells Nancy that they're running out of gas, to which Nancy tells Screwball to "find a gas station". with her distracted, Jeffy takes Nancy's gun before shooting her in self defense as Nancy pleads for her life. Jeffy jumps out and calls his mom a bitch. Rejoicing for joy, Rose and Marvin reunite and they both hug him, Marvin apologizes to Jeffy and tells him that even though he is 18 now, he can stay with since he is so used to him, he can't imagine life without him, and he doesn't care about the money. He knows he was mad, just because he thought he was getting money, He then has a sense of honor as he finally lets Jeffy stay in his house for as long as he wants, and they all hug each other.

Screwball rings on the door to apologize. Marvin is shocked, but Screwball revealed that he also got off the van before it exploded, due to him hearing Jeffy shoot Nancy, and getting scared by it. Afterwards, Marvin kicks Screwball out and calls the cops. Screwball is arrested by Simmons while Brooklyn Guy goes to talk to Marvin. Once he sees Jeffy, he gets happy since he thinks everyone survived. Jeffy reveals to him that he shot Nancy to death, which makes Brooklyn Guy even happier, due to not having any paperwork and getting to keep his job. Guy then says the video is about him and should have been titled "Brooklyn Guy's 45th Birthday", and then with that, the special finally ends.

Trivia

• This video took a week to film as stated by Logan in Chilly's vlogs and Lance in his vlogs.
  • Also, in the vlogs, it was stated by Logan that this is Logan's biggest project yet.
• It was originally announced on October 20, 2016,
• Filming for the original version took place over 2017 and ended by December but wasn't finished.
• This is the most expensive video Logan has ever created, costing around $50,000+ dollars.
• This video is the culmination of the arc that began way back in "Jeffy's Parents!", five years prior.
• Not including "Jeffy's Fun Day!", this is the longest SML video by 37 minutes and 54 seconds, surpassing "Bowser Junior Goes to Disney World! Part 1" by 2 minutes and 18 seconds.
• This episode was uploaded a year after "Jeffy's 17th Birthday!", three years after "Jeffy's Birthday Trip!" and six years after "Jeffy's Birthday!".
• This was presumably Nancy's final appearance overall, as Logan himself confirmed that she won't appear in any future SML videos unless it was in a Jeffy flashback. This is also her first and only appearance in 2022, and her first appearance since "Jeffy's 17th Birthday!" one year back.
  • However, in "Jeffy Plays Grand Theft Auto 6", Brooklyn Guy breaks the fourth wall talking about canon and non-canon deaths in SML and also stated that Nancy might return.
  • Nancy would eventually return in "Jeffy's 19th Birthday!", despite what Logan originally said.
• This is Patrick's first appearance in 2022 and his first appearance since "Jeffy's Show And Tell!".
• It's revealed that Jacques Pierre François faked his death for his artwork to go up in value.
  • This means it is unknown if he faked his death in the plush timeline.
• This video marks the return of "The tits" joke.

• The van in this episode was a 2003-2007 Chevrolet Express 2500.

  • However, it was later used again in "Jeffy's 19th Birthday!".
• This video is the fastest amount of viewership in a special SML episode, with over 1 million views in 3 hours.
• Logan said in one of Chilly's vlogs that three people will die but no one actually died. The three people who were supposed to die were Nancy, Screwball, and Jeffy, but Screwball, Jeffy, and Nancy all jumped out of the van before it exploded. Nancy was thought to be dead after Jeffy shot her in the head, only to return alive in "Jeffy’s 19th Birthday!".
• Running gags: Brooklyn Guy and Simmons chanting and singing whenever Rose says something good or bad about Nancy and Brooklyn Guy interrupting Rose by talking about his new Hyundai Sonata.
• This is the first video to feature an actual vehicle being destroyed and totaled, not counting minor damage (scratches and dents) on vehicles from other episodes.
• However, in a Behind The Scenes video of "Jeffy’s 19th Birthday!", it’s revealed that despite getting blown up, the Van still drives.
• At 17:45, Cody can be seen getting hit by the door when Screwball was opening it.
• On August 23, 2022, it was revealed that the Nancy puppet was still in the van when it exploded, which pretty much seals up any hope of Nancy coming back to any future SML videos. However, Logan did say that Nancy might come back in flashbacks, but no future SML videos due to her being fatality killed by her son Jeffy.
  • This was confirmed not to be true because Nancy’s puppet was still intact in one of the phone call scenes. (which was synced after the van was exploded) and her puppet also returned in Jeffy’s 19th Birthday, albeit with a bullet hole in her forehead.
• This is the second episode in 2022 to feature numbers in the title, the first being "Saw 2".
• With a total of 6 Behind the Scenes videos as confirmed in the 5th part of the BTS, this episode currently has the most BTS videos out of any SML video, beating "Junior Goes To Legoland!", which had 4 BTS videos.
• Since this is the SuperMarioLogan Movie, Mr. Goodman technically won his bet in The Bet! since Mr. Goodman made a bet saying that this movie would not release until the end of June of 2017. And since this movie was released in 2022, Mr. Goodman's money has been doubled.
• As of August 15, 2023, Logan Thirtyacre announced that the second SML movie will come out on August 21st, 2023.
• This is arguably the most controversial SML Movie that Logan made in the more traditional sense unlike other controversial videos like Jeffy’s Bad Word!, Jeffy’s Tantrum! and Cody’s Bad Word! since many people had mixed views upon seeing it mostly due to Jacques Pierre François revealing himself to be alive all along and Marvin getting nothing at all to make up for the years he spent with Jeffy but also due to the filler, Rose accusing Marvin of cheating on her during what is supposed to be a serious moment and Jeffy and Marvin suddenly caring about each other when both proved otherwise with many critics calling it inferior to the original concept. However, there are some people who do enjoy the cinematography as well as the chase scene and the scene where Simmons destroys Screwball’s van.
• This episode marks that Marvin has finally saw the errors of his ways ever since Jeffy's first appearance, aka: Mario the Babysitter!/Jeffy!
• This was originally just going to be a movie Called SuperMarioLogan: the movie however, it took a long time and many Delays that it was eventually reworked to Jeffy's 18th Birthday.

References

• Screwball says one of the things in his van was Mousekatools. This is a reference to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
• Jacques Pierre François faking his death to make his paintings value go up could be a possible reference to the iCarly episode "iEnrage Gibby", when Spencer Shay faked his death after a newspaper falsely claimed he died, so his sculptures could get more value. Also, Jacques' plan to use a pig to fake his death could be a reference to the South Park episode "Marjorine", where Butters fakes his death by instead throwing a pig off a building, making the splattered body unrecognizable.
• Nancy escaping prison with a spoon could be a reference to several YouTube challenges. (I broke out of a prison cell using ONLY a spoon....)
• At 0:01, the text sound is taken from Among Us.

Errors

• Screwball shows up at Marvin's door alive and says he jumped out before the van exploded, but Screwball could be seen driving the van just before the explosion.
• In Goodman's interview with Jaques Pierre François, Goodman mentions they witnessed him jump off a bridge, however, in Jeffy's Parents Jaques Pierre is said to have shot himself in the head.
• On the second plan, Screwball asks where the house is, but he already knew since he was kicked out from there.
• At 32:22, Zack can be seen in the cop car mirror.
• Jaques Pierre François appeared with his left ear which he cut off for his painting.
• During the entire scene where Nancy wants Screwball to kidnap Jeffy, a white glare can be seen in the right.
• For almost the entire time when Marvin and Brooklyn Guy get in the police car to chase Nancy and Screwball, Zack can clearly be seen in the car mirror.
• Patrick says Jeffy can buy an assault rifle at 18 years old. However, the gun laws in Florida need you to be 21 to own a gun, not 18.
• On the second plan, Screwball asks where is the house, but he already knew where it was since he was kicked out from there recently.
• At 32:42-32:45, Lance's jeep, Zack's pickup truck, and the drone can be briefly seen.
• Shortly before the van blows up, tire marks can be seen.
• In the beginning of the episode, the back of the van doesn't have a tag, but towards the end of the episode, the back of the van has a tag. This is because Logan was forced to get the van registered due to multiple complaints by his neighbors, which ended up having the cops to arrive at his house.
• One of the phone call scenes (the one where Brooklyn Guy and Simmons were calling Nancy) was supposed to be filmed in the van like with the other phone call scenes, but that exact phone call scene was filmed after the van was exploded. So that phone call scene was instead filmed on the red couch, only with a black background covering the couch. This also explains why Nancy was zoomed in closely against the camera. However, this doesn’t completely work as part of the background can be seen at 28:05 when Brooklyn Guy informs Nancy that he and Simmons are working for the police department.
• The gun Simmons shoots the van with isn’t a sniper, but actually an AR-15 with a scope. The gun also is not loaded, nor does it have a magazine in it, so shooting anything would be impossible due to the gun having no ammo.
• It is unknown how Marvin and Brooklyn Guy didn't see Jeffy jump out of the van since Jeffy jumped out while the van was still in the open field, though it's possibly that Jeffy jumped out when Marvin asked if they had gas since they weren't facing forward for a bit.
  • Jeffy also could have just headed towards the police car after jumping out, though it's likely all of this occurred just to add to the suspense of Jeffy's "death".
• The height chart behind Nancy at 20:21 has a watermark in it.

Right before and during the van explosion.

Development & Production

On July 29, 2022, SML crew member Anthony Miller stated in a YouTube livestream that "Jeffy's 18th Birthday!" will indeed be the SuperMarioLogan Movie. However, the movie would not either follow the same concept as the original idea or this was just speculation generated by him.

On August 18, 2022, in a pinned comment of "Junior's Teeth!", Logan confirmed that "Jeffy's 18th Birthday!" will be released on August 21, 2022.

On August 19, 2022, in a vlog on Chilly's channel, Logan confirmed that the final scene of "Jeffy's 18th Birthday!" needs to be recorded for him to start editing the film before August 21.

During the 2nd BTS for "Junior's Teeth!", Lance confirmed that this video will be a long video. He also mentions that it might not make the upload day due to monetization.

On August 20, 2022, in a vlog on Chilly's channel, Logan stated that background music is the final key factor for the special to be finished and ready to upload along with monetization wait time. He also estimated that the video will be delayed a day or two, Chilly later confirmed that the video has been finished and is awaiting monetization.

On August 21, 2022, once again in a quick vlog on Chilly's channel, Logan confirmed that the video has passed monetization and will officially be released at 4PM CDT/CST. He also posted a screenshot of a white van with the words "Free Candy" on the side, confirming that this video, is in fact the long-awaited SML Movie (with the only difference being the van from the ice cream truck due to Logan selling the Ice cream truck). Logan has also stated in the vlogs that 3 characters in the special would perish, with one of them being permanently killed off from SML. However, he had lied with only one character being killed which was Nancy, who returned alive in Jeffy’s 19th Birthday. Two other characters were temporarily assumed to have died in the climax of the video, before being revealed as alive in the end, being Screwball and Jeffy.

Sequel

Exactly one year after its prequel, "Jeffy's 19th Birthday!" was released.
