Recap / Simple Samosa Episode 87 Toast Malone

Go To

Dhokla becomes hopelessly attached to Toast Malone's music and won't stop listening to it. It's up to Samosa and the rest of the gang to help him get over his addiction.


"Toast Malone" contains the following tropes:

  • Absurdly Long Stairway: While going after Dhokla while he's walking around unaware of his surroundings, Samosa, Jalebi, and Vada come across a building with elevators and aren't able to make it to Dhokla on time since he takes the only elevators they would otherwise take themselves, forcing them to go up a winding staircase within the building that loops around the edges of the room more than 10 times. Both times, they reach the top or bottom and are exhausted.
  • Battle Rapping: The episode's climax is a rap battle between Samosa and Toast Malone. To everyone's surprise, Samosa wins.
  • Character Title: Named after Toast Malone.
  • Cultural Cross-Reference: You weren't expecting to see Post Malone or BTS being referenced in an Indian series, were you? Probably not, though the BTS reference makes sense since they're actually quite popular in India.
  • Group Picture Ending: The episode ends with Samosa and co. getting in on a selfie with Toast Malone.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed:
    • Toast Malone is Post Malone, plain and simple, right down to the body tattoos.
    • Suga, who hosts the rap battle between Samosa and Toast Malone, is a shout-out to SUGA from the K-pop band BTS.
  • Obsessive Hobby Episode: Dhokla can't stop listening to Toast Malone's music, so Samosa tries to help by getting him to stop.
  • Slippery Skid: Samosa and his friends' chase after Dhokla comes to a halt when they slip on chutney and fall into a chutney lake. Dhokla doesn't even notice them until after the fact.
  • Toilet Teleportation: When Samosa keeps Dhokla from entering his house to curb his addiction, Dhokla tries to enter his buddy's house through the toilet. Samosa just flushes him back down.
  • Tree Buchet: Dhokla is catapulted into the air by a tree when he is walking around listening to Toast Malone's songs, unaware of his surroundings.
