SML Movie: Jeffy's Colored Pencils!

Summary

Jeffy proudly presents a grotesque drawing of “Booger Bob and Squidard,” but Marvin gives it a low rating. Rose tells Marvin not to stifle Jeffy’s creativity. Jeffy takes the criticism hard and says he wants to die. Marvin tries to cheer him up with pizza, but Jeffy insists he still feels miserable.

A doctor arrives carrying the pizza, but he seems more interested in eating it than treating anyone. He jokes about leaving an open-heart surgery in progress, breaks into songs whenever something reminds him of one, and gets distracted by the stuffed-crust pizza and cheese sticks. When Marvin finally gets him to examine Jeffy, they spot a gray colored pencil in Jeffy’s nose. Removing it seems to lift Jeffy’s mood, so they decide the pencils may be controlling his behavior.

The experiments quickly get out of hand. A red pencil makes Jeffy furious, and the later pencils bring out a series of strange, offensive, and over-the-top personas. Marvin keeps trying to pull out the pencils while the doctor snacks and offers little help. The doctor also jokes about his ex-wife, while Marvin’s repeated “Hi, I’m Marvin” response when Rose says she’s hungry provides an early bit of wordplay.

At the end, Jeffy admits the pencils weren’t making him act that way—he was doing it on purpose. Meanwhile, the doctor seems ready to return to his surgery.
