R2's Tantrum!

"R2's Tantrum!" is the 43rd episode of Batkitty Shorts.
After a massive incident which culminated in the massive demonetization of Batkitty, the video was private, although it has been reuploaded by fans. The video has been taken down because a child tried committing s*icide from this video.
===How It Was Made===
"Rockho got on the phone with the head of the record label and he had seen the budget and was apoplectic. He started screaming at Rockho on the speakerphone, “do you think I'm the fucking Bank of America? Are you out of your fucking mind?” Rockho said “Jody and von want something Uncensored, you've given me no time to do it, the video brings to mind images of death and if Jody has his own wig, it's going to be really rated r. There was this dead silence on the speakerphone and then I heard, “yeah, that's right” and I realised Jody was in the room on the other end of the line which I didn't know. From that moment the record executive guy knew he was pretty much sh*tty."
== Synopsis! ==
R2 wants a game on the app store but Luke won't buy it for him!
== Plot ==
The video starts with R2 wanting Luke's credit card number so he can buy a $2.99 Michael Jackson The Experience app on the iPad, but Luke denies since he already bought R2 an app last week. R2 freaks out and insists that he's bored of the app that Luke bought for him last week and demands Luke for the Mj app. This results in a fight in which they both repeat themselves. Finally, R2 threatens to run away from home if Luke doesn't buy him the game, in which R2 does.
Suddenly, the doorbell rings and Luke answers it to find R2 wearing a typical glasses and mustache disguise, inquiring Mario to purchase the app, but Luke believes it's him. Suddenly, R2 shows up behind Luke, revealing that the R2 at the door wasn't the real R2.
The real R2 resumes the fight with Luke and demands the app. Luke asks why R2 didn't run away like he said. R2 says he can't run away without the app and threatens to hold his breath until he dies if he doesn't get the game. He attempts to do so but ends up breathing in the end. When Luke finally yells at R2 that he's not buying the game "And that's Final!", R2 begins crying which turns into a scream of rage.
As Luke walks away in annoyance, R2 continues to freak out and throws the couch off the balcony in a fit of rage, saying that he will keep throwing stuff until he gets the game. The final straw is when he throws Luke's TV off the balcony. This is Luke's breaking point. Luke gets very angry and yells at R2 that he is so done. R2 asks if he can buy the game now with Mario responding that he is about to get something before whipping R2 with a belt.
Two weeks later, R2 is traumatized by this and is now dressed like emo. He wants to cut himself. But he is stopped by Mario by saying what will make him stop acting like this, so R2 asks for Luke’s credit card once more, to which Luke refuses once again. Later, R2 tries to hang himself, but before he can do so, BB8 shows up and offers him an $10 iTunes card that R2 can use to buy the app himself.
As R2 leaves with the card, Junior decides to play with the noose, implying that he may have hung himself to death. Meanwhile, Mario has now "replaced" the couch (see Trivia) and R2 breaks the news to him about the card. However, R2 is met with the news that Luke sold R2's iPad to buy the new couch. The episode ends with R2 dropping the iTunes card and yelling to Luke and the whole world: "ARE YOU F*CKING HIGH?!?!?!".

==Incident From "The Sun"==
In December 2017, a 7-year old boy in United Kingdom attempted to hang himself in the same way R2 almost did in this video. This wasn't shown in the video as Jody confirmed later on that Lance kept messing up because it was hard to tie it. The mother discovered her son and reported it to the London-based news station called "The Sun".
Despite Jody apologizing about this incident, stating that the content in his videos are not to be imitated, on December 12, Youtube Demonetized R2's Tantrum. then began striking a few other videos before eventually demonetizing the batkitty uncensored, forcing Jody to move his main activity to SuperBlitzwolferJody. Enraged fans of the series criticized the mother for not monitoring the boy's Internet activity, not properly teaching her son to not imitate content seen on the Internet, and then blaming Jody to preserve her inflated ego; they also criticized YouTube for associating Batkitty with the Elsagate controversy, even though Batkitty is not trying to bait young children into watching his content.
Then the boy started a petition via Change.org to put ads back on Batkitty. It was later removed for violating YouTube's guidelines.
In response to this controversy, Logan set the video to private early in January 2018, which means that reuploads are currently the only method that can be used to watch the Batkitty Short. Jody also uploaded R2 Plays Minecraft!, which is based on this incident.
== Trivia ==
*This episode has a IPad broken and a TV broken for the second time.
*This video has been age restricted, and privated prior to the heavy swearing, Mario ruthlessly spanking R2 with a belt, and R2 trying to hang himself.
**Since its deletion, many people have reuploaded the video. Some reuploads vary in quality.
*This is the second time a TV was broken in the video. The first being "The Cat in the Hat".
*The "new couch" is actually the old couch. It ended up undamaged.
*This is one of the most controversial episode because of R2 being emo, causing a tantrum, and hanging himself that led to a boy imitating it.
*This is the first episode to feature a number of things:
**The first time the viewers see R2 become emo.
**This is the first and only appearance of the R2 Salesman.
***This makes R2 the second character to get whipped with a belt. The first being BB8.
****However, when Luke abuses R2 at all in Batkitty videos with Leia watching, it is used in R2's Bad Word!, but Mario starts hitting R2 without Leia like they did in The Hitman!
**This is the first time R2 tries to kill himself.
**This is the first Batkitty video to have R2's angry face in its thumbnail.
*Luke has the same thumbnail pose as Mario's Hobo Problem! and Locked Out where his eyebrows are slanted so that he looks angry.
*R2 being emo is a possible reference to how BB8 would act differently whenever he is traumatized, depressed, or irritated, like in BB8's Punishment! and BB8 Loses Grave Digger!.
*The Batkitty Question is the same as the question in R2's Mistake!.
*The way R2 acts might be or might not be similar to Leland from the Kid Temper Tantrum series of videos from Oh Shiitake Mushrooms.
*This marks the first time someone else plays as R2 (during the R2 in disguise scene), not counting the animal noises.
*It's also the fourth time overall that Mario abuses R2. The first being R2's Bad Word!, 2nd being The Hitman!, and 3rd being First Day Of School!.
*The App Store game is "Michael jackson The Experience"
**However, MJTE is currently a free game. When it came out in 2013, it wasn't free and was $2.99 USD. 
***Coincidentally, MJTE was shut down on June 24, 2021, just over eight years after its release.
*This is the 17th time that BB8 dies.
*The way the earth is seen shaking by R2's shouting, "ARE YOU F*CKING HIGH?!?!?!" is similar to how the earth is seen shaking by BB8's screaming from his leg breaking in BB8's Broken Leg! and Hulk's massive crap in The Ring!
*This is the 3rd time R2 breaks stuff, 1st being in R2's Mistake!, 2nd being Nintendo Switch.
*R2's crying is very similar to the way he cried in The Quiet Game!.
*This is also one of the few times in which R2 is called a bad boy and doesn't cry. Other episodes where this happened was in The Quiet Game! and in Turkey Tyranny!.
*This is the first time R2 tries to slice one of his limbs off. The second time is in "R2 Gets Stuck!".
*Many elements from this episode, such as a character becoming suicidal after a traumatic event, might've been borrowed from Bowser Junior's Punishment!.
*Once again, Jeffy uses the words, "ARE YOU F*CKING HIGH?!?!?!". However, at the end of the video, he sounded with way more rage when he said it. This is because Luke sold his iPad for a new couch. That means that R2 went emo and got the iTunes card from BB8 for nothing.
*R2 makes reference to the fact that his puppet only has eight fingers when Mario tells him he has to wait until Christmas to get his game.
*This is the most popular, yet most controversial Batkitty Short.
*This is the 10th time a character in Batkitty attempts suicide. The other instances of this happening include Vader's Depression, BB8's Candy Bar!, "BB8 Loses Grave Digger!", BB8's Punishment!, BB8 Stubs His Toe!, R2's Parents!, BB8's Game Night 3, The Magical Button! and R2's Homework!
*This video and R2's behavior is the cause of Logan's original channel to get age restricted and demonetized.
*This is the first ever video on Batkitty to be on Good Morning America.
