"Jeffy's Tantrum!" is the 43rd episode of SML Shorts.
After a massive incident which culminated in the massive demonetization of SML, the video was private, although it has been reuploaded by fans. The video has been taken down because a child tried committing suicide from this video.
Synopsis
Jeffy wants a game on the app store but Mario won't buy it for him!
Plot
Jeffy goes up to Mario and asks for his credit card, wanting to buy a $2.99 SpongeBob app on his iPad. Mario refuses since he already bought Jeffy an app the week before. Jeffy freaks out and insists that he was bored of the app that Mario bought for him and demands Mario for the SpongeBob app. Finally, Jeffy threatens to run away from home if Mario doesn't buy him the game, in which Jeffy does.
Suddenly, the doorbell rings and Mario answers it. Only to find Jeffy wearing a typical glasses and mustache disguise, inquiring Mario to purchase the app, but Mario believes it's him. Suddenly, the real Jeffy shows up behind Mario, revealing that the Jeffy at the door wasn't actually Jeffy.
Jeffy resumes the fight with Mario and demands the app. Mario asks why he didn't run away like he said. Jeffy says 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 crying which turns into a scream of rage.
As Mario walks away in annoyance, Jeffy continues to freak out and throws the couch off the balcony in a fit of rage, saying that he will 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. Mario gets very mad and yells at Jeffy that he is so done. Jeffy asks if he can buy the game now with Mario responding that he is about to get something before whipping Jeffy with a belt.
Two weeks later, Jeffy is traumatized by this and is now dressed as an emo as he wants to cut himself but he is stopped by Mario by saying what will make him stop acting like this, so Jeffy asks for Mario’s credit card once more, to which Mario refuses once again. Later, Jeffy tries to hang himself, but before he can do so, 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, implying that he may have hung himself to death. 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 yelling to Mario and the whole world: "ARE YOU FUCKING HIGH?!?!?!".

Incident From "The Sun"
In December 2017, a 7-year-old boy in the United Kingdom attempted to hang himself in the same way Jeffy almost did in this video. But fortunately, the boy's mother saved him from killing himself. After the mother discovered her son doing this, she reported it to the London-based news station called "The Sun".
Despite Logan apologizing about this incident, stating that the content in his videos should not be imitated, on December 12, YouTube started demonetizing and age-restricting all of his videos, even the ones without inappropriate content, then began striking a few other videos before eventually demonetizing the entire channel, forcing Logan to move his main activity to SuperLuigiLogan. Enraged fans of the series criticized the mother for not monitoring the boy's Internet activity, not properly teaching her son to not imitate content seen on the Internet; they also criticized YouTube for associating SML with the Elsagate controversy (Which were videos and channels aimed at kids despite featuring characters from DC, Marvel or Peppa Pig being injected by syringes), even though Logan was never trying to bait young children into watching his content.
In response to this controversy, Logan set the video to private early in January 2018, which means that reuploads are the only method that can be used to watch the SML Short.
Logan would go on to upload Jeffy Plays Minecraft! and commentate on the whole situation.
Trivia
- This episode has a TV broken for the second time.
- This video has been age restricted, and private prior to the heavy swearing, Mario ruthlessly spanking Jeffy with a belt, and Jeffy trying to hang himself.
- Since its deletion, many people have reuploaded the video. Some reuploads vary in quality.
- This is the second time a TV was broken in the video. The first being "The Cat in the Hat".
- The "new couch" is actually the old couch. It ended up undamaged.
- This is one of the most controversial episodes because of Jeffy being emo, causing a tantrum, and hanging himself that led to a boy imitating it.
- This is the first episode to feature a number of things:
- The first time the viewers see Jeffy become emo.
- This is the first and only appearance of the Jeffy Salesman.
- This makes Jeffy the second character to get whipped with a belt. The first being Bowser Junior.
- However, when Mario abuses Jeffy at all in SML videos with Rosalina watching, it is used in Jeffy's Bad Word!, but Mario starts hitting Jeffy without Rosalina like they did in The Hitman!
- This makes Jeffy the second character to get whipped with a belt. The first being Bowser Junior.
- This is the first time Jeffy tries to kill himself.
- This is the first SML video to have Jeffy's angry face in its thumbnail.
- 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 being emo is a possible reference to how Junior would act differently whenever he is traumatized, depressed, or irritated, like in Bowser Junior's Punishment! and Bowser Junior Loses Thomas!.
- The way Jeffy acts might be or might not be similar to Leland from the Kid Temper Tantrum series of videos from Oh Shiitake Mushrooms.
- This marks the first time someone else plays as Jeffy (during the Jeffy in disguise scene), not counting the animal noises.
- It's also the fourth time overall that Mario abuses Jeffy. The first being Jeffy's Bad Word!, 2nd being The Hitman!, and 3rd being First Day Of School!.
- The App Store game is "SpongeBob Moves In!"
- However, Spongebob Moves In! is currently a free game. When it came out in 2013, it wasn't free and was $2.99 USD.
- Coincidentally, SpongeBob Moves In! was shut down on June 24, 2021, just over eight years after its release, and four years after this video came out.
- It's possible that Mario refused to buy this game for Jeffy because of Jeffy's poor grades/incidents at Y U DUMB? Elementary School as Jeffy is a very disobedient and rude boy.
- However, Spongebob Moves In! is currently a free game. When it came out in 2013, it wasn't free and was $2.99 USD.
- This is the 17th time that Bowser Junior dies.
- The way the earth is seen shaking by Jeffy's shouting, "ARE YOU FUCKING HIGH?!?!?!" is similar to how the earth is seen shaking 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!.
- Jeffy is shown to have super strength, being able to lift and throw a couch with just one hand.
- 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!.
- This is the first time Jeffy tries to slice one of his limbs off. The second time is in "Jeffy Gets Stuck!".
- 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 with way more rage when he said it. This is because Mario sold his iPad for a new couch. That 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 eight fingers when Mario tells him he has to wait until Christmas to get his game.
- This is the most popular, yet most controversial SML Short.
- This is the 10th time a character in SML attempts suicide. The other instances of this happening include Bowser's Depression, Bowser Junior's Candy Bar!, Bowser Junior Loses Thomas!, Bowser Junior's Punishment!, Bowser Junior Stubs His Toe!, Jeffy's Parents!, Bowser Junior's Game Night 3, The Magical Button! and Jeffy's Homework!
- This video and Jeffy's behavior is the cause of Logan's original channel to get age restricted and demonetized.
- This is the first ever video on SML to be on Good Morning America.
- Though highly unlikely it's possible that Mario got arrested for child Abuse off-screen after the events of this video inidcating that abusing your child is completely illegal. At least in the United States.
Errors
- "SpongeBob Moves In!" was released on June 6, 2013, so technically it is not a new game. It's possible Jeffy was just saying that to make the game important, or he just saw it somewhere in the "Suggested" section and might not have known this.
- When Jeffy tosses the couch over the balcony, Chilly's hand can briefly be seen throwing the couch. In the next shot, as Mario watches the couch fall, the legs of Chilly, Lance, and Tito all can be seen. This is a mistake because the scene is supposed to show Jeffy throwing the couch by himself.
- The SML Question is the same question from Jeffy's Mistake!.
- Despite the mother saying that the video "taught her son to tie a noose around his neck", the noose isn't actually tied onscreen, making the statement contradictory.
