"The Charleyyy And Friends Problem!" is the 998th episode of SML Movies.
Synopsis[]
Charleyyy and Friends gets a reboot and Braxton is PISSED!
Plot[]
Braxton watches another episode of Charleyyy and Friends, where Charleyyy makes microwaveable mac and cheese.
Meanwhile, Laugh Box TV stresses over the recent decline in viewership of the episodes. After the manager of the show threatens to kill his writer Steven, he decides to reboot the show as a cartoon following the suggestion of Heather, the other writer.
Braxton gets a news report where Mr. Goodman announces the first episode of the reboot is produced and premieres the same day, greatly upsetting Braxton when he realizes that the reboot has nothing but toilet humor in it.
Braxton throws a temper tantrum over the new show, throwing Chef Pee Pee across the wall and then venting to his son Junior and his friends. Junior and Cody suggest he contacts the network premiering the new show, but Braxton gets the idea to threaten its employees with death if they don't change it back. He collects the address of the main building during a call with Steve Staleburger and travels there.
When inside, Braxton immediately holds the manager at gunpoint, who in turn aims his own gun at him and tells him about the struggle of the original. Heather then finds out that she misread the ratings of the original show; the viewership was inclining at a steady rate. Braxton goes home overjoyed that the original show will be back, while the manager leaves to check on Steven, who is trapped in the trunk of the manager's car.

Trivia[]
- This video was uploaded a year after "Jeffy's Gamer Girl Problem!", 2 years after the Domestic and American Releases of Pac-Man Museum +, 4 years after "Scooter the Rapper!", and 6 years after "Bowser Junior Almost Goes to Sleep Forever!".
- This video pokes fun at various bad reboots such as VeggieTales in the House, Teen Titans Go!, Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go!, The Powerpuff Girls (2016), Bob the Builder (2015), The Magic School Bus Rides Again, Dora for 2024, The Backyardigans for 2024, Bill Nye Saves the World, Caillou for both 2016 and 2024, etc.
- This is Charleyyy's first appearance since "The Acorn!".
- This is the first time since Meeting Charleyyy! to use the full Charleyyy and Friends theme song.
- Coincidentally, Braxton sings the theme song in both videos.
- This is also the first episode since then to surround Braxton as the main protagonist.
- This is one of the few videos to contain profanity in the description.
- However, it could be debated as “pissed” is seen as being a more milder word in North American English.
- This is the first episode where Braxton says “Fuck” without any bleeps.
- The manager looks similar to David Cross from Jeffy and The Jeffmunks!.
- The Charleyyy And Friends reboot was animated by Nicktendo.

Errors[]
- The sentence in the SML Question has a shadow behind it.
- In the thumbnail, Braxton has his shirt on, even though he wasn't wearing it in the video.
- In the first behind the scenes video, Charleyyy's name is misspelled on the title. Instead of Charleyyy with three Ys, it's Charleyy with two.
