"Jeffy's Pet Tiger!" is the 504th episode of SML Movies.
Synopsis[]
Plot[]
Jeffy begins to sing a song on his cat piano, asking Mario if he can play outside, to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb". Mario immediately denies Jeffy, who continues his song in disappointment, calling Mario "hucking figh". Mario is confused and Jeffy tells him that he swapped the first letters of the last two words, which is what he views Mario is. Mario then realizes that Jeffy meant to cuss and decides to ground him. The duo's argument then ensues with Jeffy protesting that he didn't say anything bad, while Mario says that he meant to say something bad. Jeffy says that Mario can't tell him what he meant, but Mario says he can tell him what he meant because he told him what he meant. Jeffy argues that Mario needs a mint, saying that Mario's breath smells like poop. Mario then declares that Jeffy is super grounded, to which Jeffy wants a literal superhero cape. Among hearing that, Mario angrily confiscates Jeffy's cat piano and decides to use the television. Jeffy asks if he can watch The Fairly OddParents, but Mario refuses and starts putting on Netflix on while watching the TV. An advertisement for a tiger sale comes on and Jeffy begs for one. Mario refuses because tigers are dangerous and cost too much money. Jeffy then shows off his money that he got from SML merch sales, in order to prove to Mario that he can afford a pet tiger. Although Mario is impressed with the huge amount of money Jeffy earned, he still denies him. Jeffy then threatens to buy 20 tigers, prompting Mario to buy Jeffy an orange cat at an attempt to fool him.
However, Jeffy doesn't fall for it, despite Mario's obvious dishonesty and calls the zoo, as Mario panics. Jeffy decides to buy a tiger himself, while Mario gives the cat, named Pumpkin, to Jackie Chu. After Jackie Chu exits, Mario tries to notify Jeffy that although he got rid of the domesticated house cat, he is still not getting a tiger. Suddenly, Mario spots a wild tiger which growls, which means Jeffy purchased one. Mario orders Jeffy to get rid of the tiger immediately, but Jeffy refuses by introducing him to his tiger. Jeffy says that he named his tiger Orange Zebra, who mauls Mario when Jeffy plays with it using a rubber chicken (rubber duckie in Jeffy's view). Mario lectures Jeffy, saying that he will leave the premises until Jeffy gets rid of the tiger. Junior then comes in and is mauled as well. Jeffy needs to use the bathroom and asks Junior to watch Orange Zebra and Junior agrees to. Junior brings in a blindfolded Joseph, who immediately gets mauled by Orange Zebra, once Junior surprises him. A terrified Joseph departs after Orange Zebra tosses him away. Junior calls Cody about the tiger, to which Cody is horrified at. Cody chides Junior for keeping Orange Zebra. Junior then takes Orange Zebra outside to use the bathroom and Orange Zebra eats a passing Maria. Junior declares that Orange Zebra already had his dinner, thus it's Junior's turn to have dinner. Junior shows off Orange Zebra to Chef Pee Pee, who is cooking a veggie burger (to which Junior can't understand the origin of) and orders Junior to get Orange Zebra out of the kitchen. Junior claims that Orange Zebra hates Chef Pee Pee's cooking, to which Junior is correct. Jeffy returns and brings a laser pointer. Orange Zebra starts mauling Jeffy while he taunts it with a laser pointer.
The doorbell rings and Junior answers the door. Simmons, who was the zoo owner from earlier, shows up and says that Mario called him and needed to take Orange Zebra away as tigers are dangerous animals and are not pets to keep. Junior and Jeffy try hiding Orange Zebra, but to no avail. Simmons mistakes Tony The Tiger for Orange Zebra and attempts to lure it with Frosted Flakes, but almost gets mauled by Orange Zebra because of the laser pointer. Orange Zebra is taken away by Simmons. Later, Jeffy starts crying. Mario comes back and explains that he called in Simmons because tigers are very dangerous animals and aren't meant to be kept as pets. Jeffy holds back his rage as he annoys Mario with another rendition of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" on his cat piano. This time, Jeffy sings about the fact that Mario made him get rid of his tiger in disappointment as the video ends.

Trivia[]
- This was the first video since "Jeffy’s Online School!" where Brooklyn T. Guy doesn't appear.
- This marks Simmons' first appearance since "Bowser Junior's Lucky Penny!", as well his first appearance in 2020, the 2020‘s decade and without Brooklyn Guy.
- When Jeffy tells Mario he needed a mint cause his breath smells like poop as a reference to when Donkey told Shrek he need tic tacs or something cause his breath stinks.
- This is Tony the Tiger’s first appearance since "Cody's 10th Birthday!", as well his first appearance in 2020, the 2020‘s decade and on SuperBowserLogan. This is also his first appearance in an episode proper outside of a shout-out since "Mario's Family Moves Out!".
- This is also his final appearance in the Plush era and later makes his first Human Puppet era appearance in "Jeffy's Lucky Jacket!".
- This episode is Maria Sanchez’s first appearance in an SML video that doesn't take place in the puppet timeline.
- For some reason, she sounds different compared to "The School Dance!". This is because Adriana Fajardo played her instead of Savannah Johnson.
- This is the second video where Cody only appeared in a FaceTime call. The first time was the previous episode. This reason is because of the coronavirus.
- However, Joseph comes to Junior's house in person, unlike Cody.
- Jeffy says "hucking figh" and tries not to punch Mario to avoid demonetization and age restriction.
- This is the first SML Movie in which Adriana Fajardo has a role, in this case taking over Maria Sanchez from Savannah Johnson.
- This is the third video so far where the word Jeffy’s pet is in the title and the third episode where Jeffy gets a pet. The other episodes are "Jeffy's Pet!" and "Jeffy's Pet Shark!".
- There is an Easter egg in the behind the scenes for the video. Rosalina is seen napping in the chair behind the red couch despite not appearing in the main video.
- This marks the first onscreen appearance of the newly found cat Pumpkin.
- The camera of Junior is flipped towards the couch so that Lovell and Logan's faces aren't seen during filming.
- This is the second time that Jeffy sings a rendition of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" on his cat piano. The first being "Jeffy the Rapper 2".
- The SML question was reused from "Jeffy's Dog!". However, it was reused again in "Bowser's Change!" most likely as an error.
- This video is somewhat misleading due it being labeled as a Jeffy video even though it's a more of a Jeffy and Junior combo and the latter is seen more in the video.
- However, this might be since Orange Zebra was Jeffy's pet and he was letting Junior play with him.
- In Lance's BTS video the thumbnail says "Jeffy The Tiger King!", but the actual video is called "Jeffy's Pet Tiger!".
Cultural References[]
- Due to the popularity of the Netflix show Tiger King, the episode could be loosely based on that reason. The name given to the video in the BTS videos for it support this theory.
- This video marks the third time the Looney Tunes Character, Bugs Bunny is referenced, the first being "The 1UP!" and the second being "Jeffy Gets Braces!".
- Junior and Cody discuss Dorothy from The Wizard Of Oz saying "Lions, tigers and bears! Oh my!".
Errors[]
- Jackie Chu is seen when Mario gives Pumpkin to him, despite him saying he'd be in the ICU for two weeks in "Jeffy's Online School!", even though this video has only been uploaded one week since then.
- In the thumbnail, Jeffy has no pencil in his nose. That pose was first used in "Jeffy's Magical Pencil!", but it was used again in "Jeffy and Junior Skip School!".
- Cody accidentally said "lions" twice, when he was referring to the famous Wizard of Oz quote.
- Joseph shouldn't be in the thumbnail because he had a small role in the video.
