"The Human Potion!" is the 475th episode of SML Movies.
Synopsis
Junior and his friends turn into humans??
Plot
At school, Jackie Chu is teaching about the human body. After talking about the different areas of the human body, he proceeds to put on a new pair of prescription glasses he got only to realize some of his students weren't human. Jackie Chu questions why there are "turtles" in his classroom and kicks Junior, Joseph, and Cody out.
Junior then goes to tell his dad, Bowser, that he got kicked out of school for not being human. Bowser seems quite happy as he ditched school around Junior's age. The doorbell rings and Bowser answer it only to realize it's Goodman wanting to tell Bowser that since he wasn't human he couldn't own the house. Junior then tells Chef Pee Pee of what was happening which Chef Pee Pee himself seemed pleased knowing he didn't have to work for Bowser anymore.
Cody and his parents then went to Junior's house to have a parent-teacher conference with Jackie Chu, wanting Cody and the others to be accepted back into school. Jackie Chu refuses which leads Cody to make a potion that would turn himself, Junior, Joseph, and Bowser into humans. Junior drinks the potion first as a way to test it out. After that, Joseph drinks the potion and then Cody does.
In the next scene, Bowser is seen packing his suitcase while crying over losing his house. Junior comes in wanting Bowser to drink the potion as well. Although confused as to what happened to his son, Bowser proceeds to drink the potion which turns him into a human as well.
After that, the scene goes back to Chef Pee Pee where he is kissing the appliances he used to cook while saying "goodbye" to them. Junior comes in telling Chef Pee Pee that he and the others got turned into humans and that they could now stay. This causes Chef Pee Pee to become upset.
In the last scene, Jackie Chu starts off class talking about parts of the body of a turtle while mentioning how Junior and the others should know about it as they were once "turtles". Junior makes a remark about how Jackie Chu's glasses should've been broken to avoid the whole problem. Cody agrees but there's no turning back for them now and the video ends.

Trivia
- This is the first video of November 2019.
- This is also one of the most hated videos of 2019, showing reactions from many fans as negative and are not happy with the puppets.
- This is the first video since Bowser Junior's New Room! to not have Brooklyn T. Guy, breaking the streak of him appearing in episodes back to back.
- In a Chilly vlog, Logan announced that the change in this video would be permanent. However, the video did not get a good reaction from fans (with the video currently at over 8,000 dislikes), so it's unknown currently if Logan will reverse this decision. However, it was announced in the Behind the Scenes video that this was just an experiment with the new puppets and Logan is going to alter.
- As stated in a recent Chilly vlog, the reason for this change was a new YouTube rule about using characters from family-friendly content for kid-friendly content, in which Logan would face possible termination or even jail time if his videos weren't family-friendly. If his videos were meant to be family-friendly by 2020, his videos would no longer have comments or notifications, he would only make a tenth of what he currently does on ad revenue, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) could drag him to court for lying about his content being family-friendly.
- The advertisement for new SML merchandise at the end of "Jeffy's Commercial!" confirms that the puppets will be permanent, and that Mario will become a lawyer-friendly puppet by the end of 2019 unless Logan decides to move sites or end production.
- There has also been an announcement on a video made by Charmx, which shows that COPPA is considering having YouTubers choose their age-directed audience, meaning that that if it happens, Mario, Junior, Joseph, Cody, and Bowser may be able to return to their original looks.
- In Joseph's Pet! Junior, Cody and Joseph returned to their old looks meaning Logan is presumably altering.
- It was announced on December 11th that YouTube has been saved from COPPA meaning the copyrighted characters will be able to keep their original looks and Logan can revert back to plushes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah5O5GeVjm4.
- This episode is similar case to the SMG4 character, Meggy Spletzer, when she turns from a inkling to a human in "SMG4: Final Hours". In this episode, Cody, Junior, Joseph and Bowser turn into humans by drinking the potion from cups, whilst in the SMG4 episode, Meggy has her ink extracted in the Ink Zuccer 2000 when she sacrifices herself to power up Axol's Inkweaver brush to create Ultra Instinct Shaggy to take on Francis' Super Saiyan God Goku.
- It is also unknown how long will Bowser, Bowser Junior, Joseph, and Cody (SML) and Meggy (SMG4) will be humans for.
- On the SMG4 channel, Meggy is shown to be disliking her human form, while in the SML Channel, Bowser, Bowser Junior, Joseph, and Cody seem to like their human form.
- Coincidentally, Meggy, Bowser, Junior, Joseph, and Cody prior to becoming humans all were originally a certain species from a Nintendo franchise, with Bowser, Junior, Joseph and Cody being different types of Koopas, all originating from Mario, and Meggy being an Inkling, which originates from Splatoon.
- Similar to SML's case of several fans preferring Bowser, Junior, Joseph and Cody as Koopas, some SMG4 fans preferred when Meggy was an Inkling.
- The concept of this video is similar to the Amazing World of Gumball series finale, "The Inquisition", as both episodes involve characters turning into humans due to an adult not liking the way they look and act.
- Goodman's role resemble more of the personality that he had in earlier videos. Especially when he was a lot less aggressive and made fewer suggestive puns. It's likely he was calmer with Bowser because he knows what Bowser is capable of, yet he bullies Mario because the latter is too submissive to stand up to him.
- Zeke was disappointed in Logan's decision on turning the characters into puppets as revealed in a Dabhdude live stream when Dabhdude called him over on his opinions on the puppets.
- This video marks the latest appearance of Bowser, Bowser Junior, Joseph and Cody as Koopas as Logan has stated the puppets are permanent for now but has left a poll on SBL on whether he should go back to plushes until Joseph's Pet!
- This episode is the debut of the human puppets.
Errors
- As a school teacher, Jackie Chu could not kick anybody who was not a human as Principal Steinbeck allowed Junior, Cody, Joseph, and Bully Bill to attend.
- In addition, Jackie Chu said he can only teach humans, so in that case, Jeffy and Patrick are the only students he can teach (Atso not withstanding due to being killed off in Shrek's Coma!), because Junior, Joseph, and Cody are Koopas, Bully Bill is a Bullet Bill, and Toad and Toadette (if Toadette is still in the class) are Toads.
- Bowser states that he got kicked out in 3rd Grade, but in "Bowser Junior's Clown Car!" he shows Junior a yearbook from his High School year, proving his statement a lie. However, it's likely that he indeed did get kicked out of 3rd Grade but then transferred somewhere else for High School.
- Goodman couldn't kick out Bowser and Junior without also kicking out Mario and Jeffy as well. It's probably because he knows Mario and Jeffy are humans, or Logan has forgotten that Mario and Bowser's families share the same house.
- Chef Pee Pee shouldn't be happy during the eviction as that means he'll be homeless like everyone else. It might be that he was happy because he thought that he would be free and wouldn't have to work for Bowser and be pestered by Junior anymore.
- Besides which, Chef Pee Pee was under no obligation to go with them. He could've stayed in the house since Mario owns it.
- Jackie Chu and Goodman should've at least know that Bowser, Bowser Junior, Joseph, and Cody all were Koopas since the moment they met.
- In the past, Bowser has claimed that he is black, but when he is turned into a human, he is white. It's possible that Logan forgot, it is likely Logan wanted to have Bowser be the same skin tone as Junior.
