**Giant Water Balloon** is the 71st episode in the series.

## Plot synopsis

Buttered Side Down is running away from a massive flood. As he gets swallowed by it, it then cuts to what happened earlier that day.

Earlier that day, Buttered is walking down the streets of Los Angeles, looking at a postcard from Fontaine, (a region from video's sponsor, Genshin Impact) while licking his ice cream cone. He then suddenly gets ambushed by an incoming water balloon, before another hits his cone, and a third snipes a nearby biker. Buttered then sprints over to the house that was launching those balloons, and breaks into the backyard, to find that the Staff of Unspeakable Evil was the one launching those water balloons with a slingshot. Buttered becomes amused, and quickly makes more water balloons to join in on the fun. He then chews many uninflated balloon to create a bigger one, before filling it up and launching it, causing the balloon to explode in the distance. He then ingulfs the rest of the uninflated balloons to create a giant water balloon, but when filling it up, it quickly elapses into chaos, as the balloon squishes the Staff. Buttered then tries throwing a tiki torch at the balloon like a spear, but that doesn't work.

Without any options, Buttered flees from the backyard. The biker from earlier regains consciousness, and finds the ever expanding water balloon, before Buttered steals his bike. Buttered continues to pedal down Los Angeles as the water balloon continues to grow and engulf many more citizens. As Buttered then collides with an oncoming car, he then looks up to the water balloon laying on many buildings. That is when, a pigeon lands on the balloon and starts to peck it, causing the balloon to burst and flood all over Los Angeles.

There, the scene continued with Buttered running away from the flood, and getting swallowed by it. As Buttered swims through a flood, a disposable coffee cup sponsoring Fontaine floats past him, before Paimon from the game, (who also represents as the mascot) grabs it and wades towards a building from Fontaine. After seeing that unusual sight, Buttered then trudges to the top of the flood, before finding a gentleman. (the same or a similar one from Doing the Dishes) As the gentleman yelps for help, Buttered shoves him back into the water, before he notices an oncoming low beam, that knocks him out.

Buttered then wakes up wet back in the Staff's backyard, (either indicating that this was just a dream, or that it did happen, before his unconscious body was washed back into the backyard) finding the remains of the giant water balloon, as he sighs in disappointment.

As Buttered and the Staff continue to launch water balloons from the slingshot, the Creators then sponsor Genshin Impact and their recent release of Fontaine. As the video ends, Buttered Side Down grabs the Staff of Unspeakable Evil and launches him with the slingshot.

## Trivia

* During a scene where Buttered Side Down is pedaling on the bike, his face is blurred.
* Coincidentally, this video was uploaded the same day the SML video, "Jeffy Plays Genshin Impact!," where both video sponsor Fontaine in Genshin Impact.
	+ Unlike that video however, which plot was entirely based around the game, this video only makes subtle references to the game before its brief sponsorship.

### Goofs/Errors

* As Buttered Side Down gets ambushed by the first water balloon, the Fontaine postcard suddenly disappears from his hand.
* Despite being for comedic/dramatic effects, a single pigeon cannot pop the balloon, and would have likely needed more pigeons to peck at it to pop the balloon.
	+ The scale for the balloon to pop is completely dependent on the balloon's size and durability, which can be comparable to a hot air balloon.
		- Here, the balloon was not seen stretching thin and becoming transparent when it grew overtime, that indicated it intense durability, alongside it making a thick rubber sound when the pigeon pecked it.
			* If the pigeon were to realistically peck the balloon, it would make a small hole where water would leak out of instead of entirely popping it.
