Recap / All Hail King Julien S 05 E 03 Iron Ted Weekend

Go To

The sirens captured Julien / to make him food for a tentacle
While Koto works his interns / who pray for a miracle.
And Clover tried to train a hawk, / the guru's mountain too far to walk.
Mort squawked his way inside the throne / by tickling Koto's funny bone.
And Pancho's got bad breath!

Chapter Tres

Julien, Maurice and Pancho have been captured and are about to be fed to a tentacle monster. It's up to Ted to lemur up and save them. Clover and Sage have arrived at the temple of Jarsh-Jarsh seeking his wisdom. The lemurs of the kingdom start planning their escape.

Tropes:

  • Call-Back: Julien points out that Pancho is an extremely powerful secret agent and attempts to activate him with the Final Protocol from "The Panchurian Candidate", only Julien can't remember what it was.
  • Easy Come, Easy Go: Although Pancho was an extremely powerful sleeper agent that could rival Clover, Julien can't remember what his trigger phrase was, and Pancho has no idea how to tap into his power otherwise.
    Pancho: I can't just trigger myself, I'm not that kind of guy!
  • Foreshadowing: Besides the fact that they look similar, hints that Snake and Ted are the same lemur are apparent in their fight choreography; Ted and Snake take turns attacking as Ted is literally jumping back and forth between the roles of Snake and Ted and at one point Snake is knocked off camera and the camera then cuts to Ted hitting a wall.
  • He's Back!: Seeing Ted lemur up and save the day is what finally shakes Julien out of his depression and inspires him to try and follow Ted's example.
  • Once More, with Clarity: When everyone points out there was no Snake, we see several scenes from the episode again but with Ted performing both roles of Ted and Snake, and a few joke ones in addition, such as Ted and Snake apparently dancing together and doing trust falls.
  • Secret Test of Character: Jarsh-Jarsh pretends to just be a mindless mudskipper to test her patience. She fails miserably.
  • Stealth Pun: Ted mentions that his full name is Theodore Pantskin and then later creates an alter ego named Snake. Put that together and that means his alter ego's full name was Snake Pantskin.
  • Survival Mantra: Snake's tic of saying his name a lot makes more sense in the context of Snake being a tough alter ego Ted created to help him survive.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Ted enlists the aid of a tough lemur named Snake to help him take on the sirens and defeat the tentacle monster. Except it's then revealed that Snake was all in his head, and Ted was playing the part of both Ted and Snake at the same time.
  • Trust-Building Blunder: Ted apparently tried to do trust falls with Snake, but Ted fell over a cliff because Snake isn't real and thus couldn't catch him.
