Synopsis[]
Jeffy's Parents.
Plot[]
The episode starts off with Mario and Rosalina trying to get Jeffy to eat his Green Beans. Jeffy then puts on a bib saying, 'I'm not eating that s**t. Suddenly, The News plays with Goodman stating that world-renowned Painter, Jacques Pierre François has killed himself, stating that he reportedly shot himself in the head in the process of making a painting called "The Suicide", leaving his million-dollar fortune to his only child whose identity is currently unknown to this day.
Rosalina is saddened by the news, but Mario doesn't know who the painter is. Rosalina tells Mario that he was famous for ''stuffing paint up his nose and sneezing it on the canvas''. While they are talking, Jeffy dumps his green beans behind the couch and tells Mario that he ate it all. Mario asks if the Green Beans are behind the couch, which Jeffy replies that it wasn't. Mario looks behind the couch to see that the green beans were behind the couch and on the carpet, prompting him to scold Jeffy.
Mario gets a call and tells Jeffy to go to the corner while he answers the call. It's Goodman, stating that a woman in the office just spoke with him and said that she dropped off a kid at Mario's house. Upon hearing this, Mario instantly gets overjoyed and tells Goodman to send the woman his address. When Mario comes back to the living room, he tells the two that Jeffy's real Mother was coming to pick him up, upsetting Rosalina and Jeffy.
A raspy male-sounding woman with heavy makeup appears at the door, introducing herself as Nancy, Jeffy's mom. Once she gets inside, she asks for alcohol-flavored coffee, despite (possibly) being pregnant. Mario asks Nancy why Jeffy was dropped off with him, to which she responds that she just needed somebody to watch him while she was ''at the Grocery Store''. Mario asks her why it took her a year to go to the grocery store, in which Nancy said it was ''hard to find''. But Jeffy tells Rosalina and Mario what really happened:
In reality, Nancy drove Jeffy to the apartment complex, where she intended to abandon him. Jeffy tells Nancy that he didn't want to leave her, but Nancy tells him that he was ugly, stupid and a waste of her time. Jeffy asks what to do if he forgets his name, so Nancy writes it on his shirt. Nancy then puts a note on Jeffy's shirt that says, "Please Babysit....sorry". Nancy drives off, leaving Jeffy at the apartment. He comes across Mario's apartment door, and knocked on it, meeting Mario for the first time.
After Jeffy tells what happened, Nancy starts to beat him for "lying." Despite seeing Jeffy get beat by her, Mario tells him to leave with Nancy, but Jeffy and Rosalina are both reluctant. Nancy eventually drags Jeffy away, while Jeffy pleads with Mario to help him. Rosalina is now furious at Mario for letting Nancy take Jeffy away, telling him that Nancy beats him and leaving in anger. Meanwhile, Jeffy is still fighting, refusing to go with Nancy. She tells Jeffy her true intentions. Since his father died, he left millions of dollars to Jeffy, so when he turns 18, all the money would be hers to keep. Jeffy tells Nancy that he didn't like her and didn't want to live with her, causing her to beat him again.
Meanwhile, Mario begins to miss Jeffy, even playing his cat piano. He even pretends he is happy. Jeffy tells Nancy that he is hungry. Among hearing this, Nancy applies the brakes. She then says that Jeffy must wait a week until the check comes in before he can eat again. Jeffy escapes out the car window and runs back to Mario's house. He begs Mario to let him stay. Mario still refuses at first, but decides to let him in until Nancy returns to pick him up.
A few minutes later, Nancy arrives and lies to Mario that she was getting Jeffy a Happy Meal from McDonald's and he ran away. Mario then makes a call and tells Nancy and Jeffy to sit down. Nancy starts beating Jeffy senselessly, only for a police officer to arrive and arrest Nancy for prostitution, child abuse and some other things.
Mario considers sending Jeffy into foster care but feels bad for him and reluctantly decides to adopt Jeffy. Brooklyn T. Guy then gives Mario a ripped piece of paper he found in Nancy's purse. Mario realizes he has the other piece to it. The note was from Jacques Pierre François and Mario and Brooklyn T. Guy find out he was his father. Mario thinks Jeffy could live with Jacques but Brooklyn T. Guy reminds him of his death and how he left all his money to Jeffy, but he doesn't actually get it until he's 18. Mario then mumbles “I guess I’ll adopt him” but is embarrassed when forced to say it out loud. Brooklyn Guy then tells Mario if he's a good parent, he could get some of the money in six more years. Mario decides that he is a good parent because he agreed to adopt Jeffy before learning about the money, and Jeffy is left in Mario and Rosalina’s custody. Mario now fully accepts his responsibility to be Jeffy's adoptive father.
The next day, Mario, Rosalina, and Jeffy are all sitting together on the couch, with Jeffy playing his cat piano. Rosalina asks Mario why he won't tell Jeffy to stop, to which Mario responds with: "Not today. Not right now. This one's for me." allowing Jeffy to play his piano as a way of finally accepting him into the family.

Production[]
Logan announced Jeffy's Parents! and The Quiet Game! as the first videos of 2017. Logan said Jeffy's Parents! would be released on the 24th of January 2017 in the description below. But instead, it was released on the day before, which was the 23rd of January, being one day before being a full year since Mario The Babysitter! was uploaded. This was likely due to the thunderstorms and tornadoes presently going on around Cantonment, Florida, which was also the reason for the delay of "The Quiet Game!"
Trivia[]
- There were more references to previous SML videos in this episode than any other before, with a total of ten videos being referenced:
- "Bowser Junior's Painting!": The video's events are referenced by Rosalina.
- "The Koopalings! Part 2", The video's events are referenced by Goodman.
- "Mario the Babysitter!": A clip of the video was shown as a flashback, adding clips from Jeffy's perspective of the events preceding the reused clip.
- "Locked Out": When Mario refuses to let Jeffy inside the house, Mario recalls the video's events, referring to locking Jeffy out as payback.
- "Jeffy's Pet!": Mario sees and mistakes Pee Pee Suck for Jeffy after the hamster rolls onto Jeffy's Cat Piano.
- "Jeffy's Birthday!": The second half of the paper with Jeffy's information was revealed to be in the possession of Nancy. The first half of this paper was revealed in this video.
- "Jeffy Sleepwalks!": Jeffy mentions that he thought Mario ate his Cat Piano, when he actually threw it out a window, and Mario says he "threw it back up."
- "Jeffy's Special Easter!": Mario remembers when Jeffy painted the Mona Lisa on the egg.
- It is possible that this video was used to celebrate the 1st anniversary of Jeffy since this was posted a year after "Mario The Babysitter!"
- It is revealed Jeffy was 12 years old at the time of the video, and that he has a French heritage from his actual father.
- This video has revealed 3 explanations for Jeffy's lack of intelligence:
- His mom was abusive towards him and was an alcoholic prostitute.
- It's most likely she never takes him to school throughout his entire life due to her lack of responsibility.
- It is revealed at the beginning of the video that Jeffy's mom drinks while pregnant, hinting that she might be drinking alcohol while she was pregnant with Jeffy and messed him up.
- Along with those reasons, Jeffy could be just plain-out dumb.
- However, he is sane enough to apologize to Mario and admit what he has done, so he was half and half.
- This was the second video on SuperMarioLogan that was hyped up for, the first being "Bowser Junior Goes To Military School! Part 1."
- As Jeffy is the only surviving child of Jacques Pierre François, he will get all of his father's money, but since Jeffy's dad died before Jeffy turned 18, the money is in a trust fund which means Jeffy will officially get the money from his father on Sunday, August 21, 2022, the day he turns 18. However, if Jeffy were to die before turning 18, then Mario (and by extension Rosalina) will get the money immediately upon Jeffy's death since Mario has custody. In any case, Nancy won't get any part of the money since she doesn't have custody of Jeffy anymore.
- In "Jeffy's 16th Birthday!", when Mario and Rosalina are wishing Jeffy a happy birthday, Mario mutters that there is only 2 more years until he can get "that money", referencing this.
- This video had different angles than other SML videos, such as the argument and brief breakup between Mario and Rosalina.
- This shows Jeffy's sane side once again remembering what happened when he was dropped off at Mario's door, knowing to how to sneak out of the car and go to Mario's house, and knowing that what would happen if he either went with his mom or a foster care, even knowing how to plead Mario to adopt him. He even apologized to Mario and admitted his mistakes and didn't play the cat piano.
- The likely reason why Jeffy wears a helmet is to protect him of being beat on the head by his mother. It's unknown if his father or Jeffy himself put the helmet on, or he wants to be like his father who wears a beret. However, in "Jeffy's Sister Returns!", the actual reason why Jeffy always wears a helmet is so he doesn't die like his sister, Feebee did.
- Since Jeffy's Mom used to beat him up, that may explain why he was traumatized when Mario spanked him in "Jeffy's Bad Word!"
- If Nancy was pregnant (since she said she doesn't even know) she would have given birth to her child in prison. But it is likely that when that child is born, it would be taken out of Nancy's custody and put into foster care because of Nancy's criminal record.
- This episode was referenced in Baby Jeffy where Mario said he has to restart the 18 years.
- In the scene why Mario locks Jeffy out because he wants payback for locking him out in "Locked Out".
- Even though Jeffy promised Mario that he would be a good boy, he didn't live up to his promise in future videos.
- Logan's Apartment is featured in the flashback, with a new scene even being shot at it.
- Mario is now Jeffy's adoptive father and Rosalina is now Jeffy's adoptive mother.
- This is the first time Rosalina broke up with Mario.
- This episode takes place exactly 1 year after the events of "Mario the Babysitter!"
- When Jeffy is seen being thrown out the car window, it is obviously a stunt double Jeffy puppet, as his hair and back of his head look different than the real and Logan probably didn't want to risk messing the real one up in the rain or running it over.
- On June 30, 2021, SML unlisted this video.
- This video was uploaded nine years after SNES Games "2007".
Errors[]
- When Nancy came to pick up Jeffy, it was daytime. However, when Nancy was seen "taking Jeffy home", it was night time. It could be that they talked for a long time off screen.
- Jeffy thought Mario ate his cat piano, but in "Jeffy's Birthday!", Rosalina gave him a new one, but it can be seen as intentional to some viewers.
- There is a flashback of "Mario The Babysitter!" where Jeffy meets Mario, however, in the episode, Mario actually met Jeffy at the end of the video entirely, not at the end of his dream as it is shown here.
- When Nancy writes "Jeffy" on Jeffy's shirt, the marker is seen with the cap on as she starts "writing."
- Near the end of the video Jeffy says he will be a good boy forever. But Jeffy continues to be a bad boy in videos after this (but he probably just said that so Mario would let him stay with him).
