Recap / SMG4 - Our New Home

Go To

SMG4's RV gets stolen... again... so he decides it's finally time to build a new castle to call home.

When Teletubbies hijack his RV yet again, SMG4 decides it's high time to build a brand new castle. But finding a place to build their new home is no easy task.


  • Ambiguously Related: Several viewers have speculated that the TV-shaped icon next to the Showgrounds (which, keep in mind, Boopkins doesn't recall seeing before) is related to the TV Adware that sold SMG4 the demonic keyboard in "IT'S GOTTA BE PERFECT". What's more, in an eerily similar Call-Back, the background music used for Boopkins selling the Showgrounds to SMG4 is the same as that of the TV Adware's sole scene in the aforementioned movie; an original piece by Jared Carey entitled "Magical Keyboard Jingle".
  • Auction: To deal with the Teletubbies trying to take the showgrounds, Fishy Boopkins starts an auction for it with Swagmaster as the auctioneer. The prices quickly escalate between Mario and a Teletubby, and the group starts bidding in items more personally important to them instead. Luckily, SMG3 nips the whole thing in the bud by ramming the Teletubbies with SMG4's RV.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Albeit more on the "sweet" side. The Teletubbies have been defeated, and SMG4 finally has a plot of land to build a castle on, along with getting his RV back as the cherry on top… but he ended up blowing all the money he had on the Showgrounds (something Boopkins tried to tell him), meaning he can't afford to actually build anything and still has to resort to the RV to have a roof over his head for the time being.
  • Call-Back: For the fourth time Mario somehow gets his pingas stuck in a door, this time one with no frame.
  • Character Development: Compared to previous episodes where the murderous Teletubbies were seen as The Dreaded by the main characters, here, when they brandish their weapons, the crew recover from a brief moment of shock and whip out their own weapons, ready to unleash hell on them.
  • Continuity Nod:
    • SMG4 very quickly turns down an otherwise perfect location when he realises he'd be Mario's neighbor, having already had enough of being his roommate a few episodes prior.
    • Peach is still trapped in the Eldritch Abomination where her castle used to be, and apparently her attempt to build a rocket out of there in the last episode didn’t take, as it now looks to be on fire.
  • Counting to Potato: During the auction, the bids listed onscreen quickly pass beyond logical numbers and briefly become insults (with dollar amounts) including "painis", "stop it", "no u", "shut up", "make me", "stinky", "FNAF Ripoff", and "Chris Pratt", before devolving into Symbol Swearing.
  • Cutting the Knot: Boopkins initially defuses the crew's violent attempt at getting rid of the Teletubbies by putting the Showgrounds up for auction. Given the people involved, it swiftly devolves into chaos. So SMG3 crashes SMG4's RV into the Teletubbies, handing the crew the win by default.
  • Didn't Think This Through: SMG4 ends up spending all his money buying the plot of land for the new castle and has nothing left for actually building the place.
  • Epic Fail: The episode ends on the note of the cast deciding to enjoy the empty plot for now, with Mario somehow getting his pingas jammed in a door standing on its own, attached to nothing.
  • House-Hunting Montage: Boopkins shows SMG4 several houses before SMG4 settles on the Showgrounds. He almost chooses a very nice one prior to the Showgrounds… until he realizes he'd be next door neighbors with Mario.
  • Instantly Proven Wrong: SMG4 defiantly declares the Teletubbies won't take his RV. Smash Cut to the leader Teletubby kicking him out of it.
  • Kick the Dog: It's not enough that the Teletubbies steal SMG4's RV, his home for the time being, they also want to steal the crew's foundation for their new home despite SMG4 and his friends getting there before them and the former having already paid for the land.
  • Mean Boss: Tom Nook isn't very nice to Boopkins, belittling, berating, and threatening him at all turns. In fact, the only reason Boopkins is holding down a job here was because Tom didn't want to face Joe Boopkins' wrath.
  • Money Fetish: Upon getting paid, Tom Nook takes the bags of cash to his room while "Surprise Buttsecks" plays.
  • Motor Mouth: As the auctioneer, Swag conducts the auction with a fit of unintelligibly-fast babbling, in traditional auction fashion. He even has to stop to catch his breath partway through.
  • New Job as the Plot Demands:
    Swag: "Hey look Im an auction guy for some reason."
  • Noodle Incident: Apparently, this isn't the first time the Teletubbies have hijacked SMG4's RV.
  • Retcon: This episode reveals that there's a full studio house right next door to Mario and Luigi's house, despite their house having previously always been depicted in an otherwise empty field.
  • Surprisingly Realistic Outcome:
    • In the opening advertisement, Luke cooks some food on a digital campfire and eats it. Because the fire wasn't real, the food doesn't actually get cooked and he gets food poisoning offscreen.
      LUKE DIED OF FOOD POISONING AN AN HOUR AFTER THIS WAS SHOT
    • During their House-Hunting Montage, Boopkins and SMG4 look at an underwater plot. As a Fish Person, Boopkins is fine and actually likes the plot. As a regular human, SMG4 ends up almost drowning from trying to explore it.
  • Take That!:
    • One to Sonichu. During the bidding war, Shroomy puts up a copy of Sonichu as a bid. This changes the crew's bid display to "SUFFER MORE" (itself a reference to 2020's "SMG4 🅴🆇🅿🅰🅽🅳🆂 His Brain").
    • One to YouTube's militant monetization policies. After Mario concludes that Violence Really Is the Answer, a hastily-narrated disclaimer from Swag appears to say that it isn't... then Swag reveals that he's only saying that due to YouTube holding him hostage, at which point he's dragged screaming offscreen by Hans the hand.
  • True Companions: The cast refuse to surrender SMG4's piece of land to the Teletubbies and back him up. As Saiko puts it:
    Saiko: "You mess with him, you mess with us!"
  • Vehicular Assault: SMG3 defeats the Teletubbies by crashing SMG4's stolen RV into them.
  • Violence Really Is the Answer: After SMG3 wins the auction by crushing the Teletubbies with SMG4's RV, Mario concludes that violence was the answer after all, much to Boopkins' displeasure. A disclaimer then reads that, for monetization purposes, violence isn't the answer... only for Swag to hurriedly say that it is the answer and that he's being held hostage.
