Jeffy's Flu Shot! is the 252nd episode of SML Movies, and the first episode where a Jeffy puppet made by a fan of SuperMarioLogan is used.
Synopsis[]
It's Flu Season! That means Jeffy needs to get his Flu Shot! The only problem is... Jeffy's scared of Flu shots!
Plot[]
The episode starts off with Jeffy spanking his diaper and making his infamous "Uh! Uh! Uh!" sounds to Mario and Rosalina. Annoyed, Mario angrily mimics Jeffy, then asks him what he'd do if he did that all day, to which Jeffy replies with his usual line, "Why you do that?".
Rosalina is on Jeffy's side (as always), saying that he's "creative", to which Mario heavily disagrees. Jeffy then bends over and looks under his diaper, trying to watch himself poop. Jeffy then starts the process of pooping himself. Mario gets grossed out by this and asks Rosalina if this is what she meant by "creative". Rosalina then explains that Jeffy is just really focused. Jeffy continues to poop wondering why he can't see it, so Mario finally gives up and insists Jeffy to just watch some TV.
A breaking news broadcast on the TV shows Goodman, saying his usual line, "Breaking news, m'kay?". He then starts warning everyone that flu season has started and to get their flu shots. Mario and Rosalina become worried about flu season, and both agree that they have to get their shots. Rosalina then mentions that Jeffy has to get a flu shot due to his young age. Jeffy somehow manages to stick the TV remote into his mouth and starts choking on it. Mario struggles to pull the remote out from Jeffy's mouth, but to no avail. He has Rosalina hit Jeffy with a spoon in order to make him let go of the remote. Mario does manage to yank out the TV remote from Jeffy's mouth, but the news is now being broadcasted in Spanish with Goodman wearing a Sombero.
Mario says he'll fix the TV later and he and Rosalina are about to call the doctor, but Mario is worried that Jeffy won't cooperate like he often does. Rosalina insists that Jeffy will be fine, saying he's very understanding, but Mario doesn't think so. Rosalina then tells Mario to tell Jeffy that he will get a lollipop if he's good. Mario, in a negative and honest way, tells Jeffy that "a doctor's going to come and stab him with a needle, but he'll get a lollipop if he's good". Upon hearing this, Jeffy gets scared and screams at Mario and Rosalina and says "I'm scared of lollipops, Daddy!". Mario then offers Jeffy other fun prizes (a gumball, a gummy worm, a piece of gum, and even $1,000,000.00), but Jeffy screams to all of them. Afterward, Mario then insists Rosalina to just call the doctor.
Rosalina tells Mario she called the doctor, then the Brooklyn T. Guy enters the room wearing a police outfit and holding a gun, asking if somebody wanted to get "shot". After laughing, Brooklyn T. Guy explains the joke. He then comes back in as a doctor with the flu shot and sarcastically apologizes for the joke, expounding that people call him "The Jokester". Mario gets confused, followed by him asking who calls him that, to which Brooklyn T. Guy replies saying a lot of people called him that.
Brooklyn T. Guy asks how many shots he's delivering, and Mario tells him that he, Rosalina, and Jeffy will get one, but he wants Jeffy to get his last. Brooklyn T. Guy gives himself a flu shot (telling them he didn't get his), moaning and yelling in immense pleasure. Mario asks him if he's going to change the needle, but Brooklyn T. Guy claims it isn't necessary to do so since he and Mario are cool.
Brooklyn T. Guy then asks Mario where he wants the shot. Mario gets confused again, as he wasn't aware that he could pick a place to have it. Brooklyn Guy then repeatedly boops Mario on his "big stupid nose", saying he should have it there. Annoyed, Mario tells him to stop and insists that he get his shot on his rear end. Rosalina asks why, so Mario explains that it's the fattest part of his body, so it shouldn't be as painful. Brooklyn T. Guy sticks the vaccination needle into Mario's butt. Jeffy asks Rosalina why Brooklyn T. Guy is sticking Mario in the butt, to which Rosalina explains to Jeffy that Mario needs a flu shot. Brooklyn T. Guy then gives Rosalina a flu shot on her arm.
Mario tells Jeffy it's his turn to get one, but Jeffy says he doesn't want one because he doesn't want it on his butt. Mario informs him that he doesn't have to have it on his butt, and Brooklyn T. Guy tells Jeffy he could have it anywhere and that he can make it rain. Jeffy asks Mario why he needs a flu shot, to which Mario tells him that if he doesn't have a shot, he'll get the flu! But of course, Jeffy doesn't know what the flu is, so Mario describes it as a big, scary monster that can jump inside Jeffy’s mouth, which can make him vomit and makes him poop himself. Among hearing this, Jeffy says he already has it. Mario explains that it's not pooping himself like he always does, but it's diarrhea instead. Jeffy then thinks Taco Bell is the flu, implying that the tacos at Taco Bell make diarrhea even worse. Having enough of describing the flu to Jeffy, Mario tells Jeffy that he is required to get his flu shot. He then asks Brooklyn T. Guy to show Jeffy the needle up close. In a slow-motion scene, Brooklyn Guy shows Jeffy the needle up close to his eyes. (During this, two ostriches randomly come out of nowhere and run across the screen.) Jeffy gets scared and shouts "SCARY OSTRICHES!!!!!" and starts running away in horror after that.
Mario finally declares that Jeffy won't be getting his flu shot after all. He then asks what's the worst that can happen if he doesn't get a flu shot, to which Brooklyn T. Guy sarcastically explains that he can get the flu and possibly die. (This gets Mario excited.) Afterwards, Mario guesses they're done, and Brooklyn T. Guy asks if anyone wants more of the vaccine before he departs. He gives himself another one, groaning "Aw yeah, that's good stuff." He then leaves.
Jeffy is then seen fluttering his lips. An angry Mario shouts at him saying he's mad since Jeffy didn't get his flu shot. As Mario tells Jeffy to get ready for bed, Bowser comes into the scene, looking very ill and coughs into Jeffy's face. Bowser explains that he doesn't know why he has the flu, stating that he stayed in the house 24/7. Mario uses Bowser as an example to Jeffy about what happens if he gets the flu. Bowser then leaves to go vomit. Jeffy continues to flutter his lips, followed by Mario yelling at Jeffy to go to bed. This causes Jeffy to sadly get into bed.
Mario asks Jeffy if he's ready for bed. As Jeffy jumps up and down in his crib, he says that he is. Mario tells Jeffy to stop jumping on the bed, but Jeffy of course refuses. Rosalina then pops in wondering if Jeffy is ready for bed. Mario then tells Rosalina that Bowser is sick with the flu and coughed on Jeffy, which causes Rosalina to worry that Jeffy may get the flu from that. Mario asks Rosalina to help Jeffy go to sleep, to which Rosalina tells Mario to turn on his "thing" (the mobile in Jeffy's crib). After doing this, Jeffy stops jumping, falls down, says one last "Uh!", then falls asleep. (Mario wonders why it somehow works every single time.) Mario and Rosalina say goodnight to each other as they both leave Jeffy's room.
Later that night, Jeffy can be heard moaning loudly in discomfort and wailing "Daddy" repeatedly. Mario hears this, so calls out to Jeffy, asking if he's OK. Mario slowly approaches Jeffy's crib, nervously asking him if he's ok, when all of a sudden, Jeffy pops up looking very sick, scaring the living daylights out of Mario. Mario officially comes to the conclusion that Jeffy is sick with the flu, so he calls the doctor again and escorts Jeffy into the living room. During this, Jeffy repeatedly coughs into Mario's face.
Brooklyn T. Guy arrives, asking Mario why he got a phone call at 3:00 AM. Mario shows him why, which startles Brooklyn T. Guy. Jeffy coughs into Brooklyn T. Guy, who then says that this is the worst case of the flu that he's ever seen. Mario asks if it's too late to give Jeffy the flu shot, to which Brooklyn Guy says it is. Mario tells Jeffy that he should've gotten his flu shot, but Jeffy proceeds to cough repeatedly into Mario's face. Brooklyn T. Guy then makes a shocking discovery; the liquid inside the syringe is just water! Mario then asks if he still got the flu shot earlier, but Brooklyn T. Guy says no, informing Mario that it's the same exact syringe he used on him and Rosalina. Mario's scared that he'll get the Flu as Jeffy continues to cough into his face.
The scene cuts to a sick Mario, who appears to be shivering. Jeffy asks Mario what's wrong, in which Mario replies that he has the flu because he and Rosalina got injected by water instead of the actual flu shot. Jeffy then sneezes, and his eyeball falls off! This makes Mario scream in horror. Jeffy tries to find his eyeball by covering the other eye that didn't fall off. A camera view from Jeffy's eye is then shown, which shows Mario up close. Mario continues to freak out uncontrollably and runs away as the episode ends.
During the post-video scene, Lance gives a special thanks to Matt'zStudios for making the sick Jeffy puppet, and how he made it look very identical to the real Jeffy. Logan (off-screen) also says that you can't really tell the difference between the 2 Jeffy puppets. Lance then says "Hey!" in his Jeffy voice and starts "Uh! Uh! Uh"-ing while controlling the mouths of both the Jeffy puppets.

- The sick variant of Jeffy was made by MattZStudios, who is a fan of SML. Eight months after the video, Matt got $1,000 from Logan.
- The video in which Matt reviews his puppet was renamed to make people know the puppet was used in this SML Movie.
- There was makeup used on Mario and Bowser's faces when they had the flu, to make a sick effect.
- This is the second video where despite that a jumpscare appears, it doesn't appear at the end of the video. The first time was in Luigi's Mansion Episode 7.
- The jumpscare appears in the scene where Mario goes to Jeffy's crib, only to find out Jeffy had the flu.
- It's revealed that Jeffy has gleifitzouriphobia, which is the fear of lollipops.
- This is the 5th video to be filmed at the new house.

- Rosalina and Brooklyn T. Guy also got the flu, but they weren't shown.
- This is the 3rd time Jeffy jumps. The 1st being Jeffy's Favorite Song!, the 2nd being The New House!.
- This video is another episode focused on a character getting a flu shot, the first was when Bowser Junior had his shot in Bowser Junior's Flu Shot!, However, this episode took place earlier in the year, compared to Bowser Junior's episode, and it was closer to the normal time of getting flu shots, while Bowser Junior got his in December, and unlike Bowser Junior's video which has censored bad words, this video has no censored bad words.
- The thumbnail for the video is similar to one in Bowser Junior Gets Rabies!, as both thumbnails have one infected character on the side.
- This is the second video that centers around a character having to get a flu shot, the first being Bowser Junior's Flu Shot!.
- This is the third SML Movie to have only Jeffy on the thumbnail, the first two were Jeffy's Cellphone! and Jeffy's Bad Word!.
- This video came approximately 11 months after Bowser Junior's Flu Shot!.
- This is a flu season special just like Bowser Junior's Flu Shot!.
- The reason why Bowser got sick is possibly the same reason Mario got sick; Bowser Junior possibly had the flu, and gave it to Bowser. And in this video, Jeffy gives his flu to Mario.
- Jeffy's disease resembles Leprosy more than the Flu, due to the loss of a body part (specifically, the eye).
- This is the third SML Movie where Jeffy's picture/pose is different than the typical other pictures from the other videos that feature Jeffy, mostly for what is focusing on Jeffy's event, the first being Jeffy Sleepwalks!, and the second being Happy Halloween!.
- This is the seventh SML Video of 2016 to be heavily panned by fans, the first being Cody's Birthday!, the second being Black Yoshi's Blank Check!, the third being Jeffy's Bad Word!, the fourth being Bowser Junior's Game Night 5, the fifth being The Gun! and the sixth being Bowser Junior's Package!.
- When Bowser appears, if the viewer looks closely, it's the same Bowser plush used in Bowser Loses A Tooth! due to him having only three teeth.
- This video was age restricted because of the Jeffy (MattZStudios version) on the thumbnail and Jeffy’s eye falling off.
- As of August 22nd, 2019, the video along with 24 other videos have been deleted. It is possible this was because of Jeffy's eye falling off or the flu shot scene.
- The reaction to this video on SuperLuigiLogan is still monetized, as with the reactions to "Jeffy's Cellphone!", "The Fishing Trip!", "Jeffy's Mistake!" and "Joseph's House!".
- Mexican Goodman's Spanish dialogue translated to "Breaking news, M'kay! It's flu season, M'kay!".
- It is unknown whether Brooklyn Guy has the real flu syringe or not.
References[]
- When Jeffy covers the eye that didn't fall off, he was able to see through the disconnected one. This is similar to how Mrs. Potato Head had this ability in Toy Story 3 to find her lost eye.
Errors[]
- When Jeffy said he was scared of lollipops, he wasn't scared of them in Happy Halloween!. It's possibly because Jeffy fears that when he gets a lollipop, Jeff the Killer will appear, stealing his lollipop like he did in the ending of Happy Halloween!.
- When the "Scary Ostriches" are running across the screen, they're quacking like ducks. This is incorrect, because in reality, ostriches don't quack like ducks do.
- Although, this was probably done for comedy purposes.
- Jeffy's helmet was different than his usual one despite not being physically attached to his body.
- In real life, it would be impossible to see out of your eye if disconnected from the socket.
- Mario and Rosalina would've gotten HIV/AIDS from the needle.
- Mario says if he gets his flu shot in his butt, it won't hurt due to the fat around it. However, studies show fat actually makes people more sensitive to pain.
