Plot[]
The video starts off with Junior playing Fall Guys while drinking Sprite, until his friends, Joseph, and Cody, walk in to ask what he is doing. Cody puts an emphasis on the Sprite bottle and asks Junior why he didn't cross the Fall Guys finish line. Junior says he is too good at the game and wants to wait at the finish line to laugh at the noobs. When it was his time to go, his controller died, and he doesn't qualify. Junior got upset while his friends made fun of him. Cody mentions the story "The Tortoise and The Hare", and Junior gets confused. After a long moment of Junior asking questions about the story, he rudely tells Cody to get him another bottle of sprite. When Cody comes back with a clear sprite bottle, Junior gets upset, because he thinks it is diet sprite. Cody argues that it isn't, but Junior kept saying it is diet. He tries to prove it is diet and asks for a not diet sprite. Cody says that there is no green bottle sprite, and Junior gets mad and says that Chef Pee Pee did not forget to get normal Sprite.
Cody brings Junior to the fridge and shows that they only had clear bottle sprite, and Cody says it isn't diet. Junior says that it is and gets more upset at Cody. Cody just tells him to get mad at Chef Pee Pee instead because he bought the sprite. Junior starts yelling at Chef Pee Pee, and asked why he bought Diet Sprite. Chef Pee Pee says he bought regular sprite so Junior can get diabetes and die. Junior told Chef Pee Pee to bring him a bottle so he could prove it is diet. When Chef Pee Pee comes back, he says it isn't diet, and tells Junior to read the bottle again. Junior doesn't listen and jumps to conclusions, sticking to his statement about it being diet. Chef Pee Pee leaves annoyed, and Junior tells Cody that they should go to the store to get regular sprite with Joseph.
Junior tells Joseph they are going to the store, and Joseph asks why they are going to the store. In response, Junior says there is nothing but diet sprite downstairs, and Cody once again told him it was not diet. Cody tells him to drink the sprite to see if it is normal sprite, and Junior starts to say that Judy, Cody's mom, needs to go on a diet because she is so fat. The news comes on, and Cody immediately gets nervous, and starts sucking on the sprite bottle.
When the news comes on, Steve Staleburger announces that the company that owns sprite has gotten rid of the green bottles, due to them being bad for the environment. Junior, by this news, obviously gets upset. Cody tells Junior that he wasn't wrong, and out of disbelief, Junior thinks it is an April fools' prank. Cody tells him it is November, and Junior actually goes to the store this time. Junior immediately goes to the sprite section to look for green bottles, and found nothing, due to the green bottles shockingly being discontinued. Cody reminds him why they were discontinued, and Junior says that Mountain Dew has green bottles, and so does 7-up. Junior says that no one drinks 7-up, and that there is no way that they can afford green bottles like sprite can. Junior gets even more upset and starts screaming that the change is "bulls**t".
The friends return home, while Junior is still crying. Junior says that there is no way for him to get used to the clear bottles, and that Sprite is his whole life. Cody once again reminds Junior that green bottles are more difficult to recycle and are bad for the environment. Because of Junior still being mad, he says "Screw the earth", and asks what the earth has done for them, and starts listing off all the bad things it has done. After Junior is done listing off all of this, he says he wants to grab a knife to "Stab the grass", to let the earth know that he's mad.
Outside, Junior has the knife and starts to literally stab the grass. Cody tells Junior that stabbing the earth will do nothing, and Junior disagrees. Joseph comes back into the scene and asks Junior to throw the bag of Cheetos onto the ground. Cody gets mad at Junior for littering, and then Brooklyn T. Guy comes with his cop outfit on, asking if he just watched Junior litter and the latter says yes. Junior goes back inside with a ticket for littering and learns that it isn't the earths fault the sprite bottles became clear, it is sprite's fault! Junior, upon learning this knowledge, wants to stab sprite, and Cody tells him that he doesn't need to stab anyone. Junior says that he hates the bottles again, and then says he won't even drink sprite again. Cody tells Junior nothing will happen just because he stopped drinking sprite, so Junior says he will tell everyone to stop drinking sprite, starting with Joseph. Joseph listens, so Junior thinks Cody will as well. When Cody doesn't listen to Junior, he starts kicking him until he stops, and says that he will kick the whole world if he has to. Junior then chants that they should burn down Little Caesars, and then gets told not to burn anything down. Cody brings a green can, and Junior doesn't get mad, but he just sighs in disappointment, along with Joseph. Cody isn't getting responses, so he keeps asking what's wrong, and Junior tells him that it's a problem because bottles are different than cans. He goes as far to say it would be cool if there was a clear can, and says that would be cool, because there hasn't been a clear bottle that he is seen before. Cody tells him to just try the clear bottle sprite. Junior agrees, but says that he needs to be blindfolded, and that it would taste different.
After Junior gets his blindfold on, Cody starts pouring the drinks. When he is done, he explains how it will work. Junior says he will be able to tell the difference and starts drinking from both of the cups. He keeps doing this until Cody gives him the answer, and Junior claims that he already knew the answer to begin with. He says that one of them tasted weird, which is how he knew the answer, and then starts spitting out the "diet sprite" that he just drank. Cody wasn't having it and knew that Junior was just trying to win an unfair bet. Junior says that he needs sprite in a green bottle, but since there is no way to get it legitimately, he decides to go to eBay.
On eBay, he starts looking at the prices, the first one being 60 dollars, and then points out a 34-dollar listing. Cody says that Junior is just being stupid and can't spend 60 dollars every time he wants sprite. Junior says that he can, because he doesn't want to have to drink out of the clear bottle and shows that people are selling green bottle sprite already. Cody says, once again, that he can't keep doing this. Junior responds by saying that he only has 3 bottles of sprite a day, which adds up to 180 dollars spent on sprite. Junior says that's worth it, because he doesn't like the "diet sprite" that is sitting in front of him. Cody says that he can drink out of the can, which leads to Junior sighing in disappointment once again, until he gets up and asks Cody "can" he shut the f**k up, and says he wants the green bottle. Cody finds out what he can do to get Junior to shut up about the bottle, so he buys a bottle of Sprite, and uses a green marker on it, in order to trick him into thinking he is drinking the rare green bottle Sprite. Cody gives the "green" bottle of Sprite to Junior, making the latter happy. Junior leaves, and Joseph asks where he got the green Sprite, and Cody explains that he just colored the clear bottle green, and the video ends with a circle closing in on his face as he does his outro.
Characters[]
- Jeffy (Original video description)
- Junior
- Cody
- Joseph
- Chef Pee Pee
- Judy (mentioned)
- Steve Staleburger
- Brooklyn T. Guy
Trivia[]
- This episode was uploaded 4 years after "Jeffy's Bad Dog!" and 8 years after "Bowser Junior's Sickness".
- Jeffy was originally going to be the main focus character in Junior's place, but Lance was on vacation at the time, which explains why Junior took the role, as well as Steve Staleburger replacing Mr. Goodman.
- This is one of the few times the news doesn't have Mr. Goodman as the anchorman, as well as the first time since "SpiderKen 2".
- This episode is based on the recent change Coca-Cola made to Sprite bottles, changing them from green to clear because green plastic had an additive that can't be recycled into new bottles.
- This was the first time someone other than Goodman says "m'kay" in the news.
- At the store, the voices were dubbed, so that the background noises wouldn't be heard.
- Diet Sprite does not exist in real life, only Sprite Zero, which is nevertheless relatively rare. It’s possible that Diet Sprite exists in the SML universe.
- The outro that Cody made up is a reference to a common ending in old cartoons, except the circle doesn't close.
Errors[]
- Jeffy was mentioned in the description, yet he doesn't appear in the video at all. This may indicate that the video was originally meant to star Jeffy, but Logan decided to make the video Junior-related.
- This is the 3rd time this happened also, the second time was in "FRANKENSTEIN!" which said, "Jeffy gets a friend!", and the first time was in "Junior's 13th Birthday!" which said the exact same thing.
- Joseph asks Junior if he can have a bag of chips, but it’s really a bag of Cheetos that he’s holding.
