Family Dinner

**Family Dinner** is the 101st episode of Awkward Puppets.

## Synopsis

Diego invites Tiffany to his family's house for dinner. But will it go well?

## Plot

The episode starts with Diego telling his mom that his ex-girlfriend Tiffany is coming over to see them. But his mom claims he doesn't remember who Tiffany is, nor remembering about her coming it at all. Diego explains the situation and tries to remind her that she was "the white girl" that he used to date. To which Diego's mother finally remembers now, but she refers to her as a "gringa" instead of her name. Because of this, Diego had to lecture his mother to not say anything weird, don't call Tiffany a gringa, not to embarrass him in front of her, and *especially*, not to mention Benita. Diego also asks his mom also to not fight with his dad during the family dinner. To which his mom agrees to do so and claims that everything will be fine. Then Tiffany arrives at the house and Diego greets and welcomes her. But he pauses for a few seconds when he overhears the sound of his parents fighting and breaking things. But Diego decides to let her in anyways.

But before dinner begins, Diego had to talk to his parents to stop fighting and to act normal for once. To which his mom tells him their not and Diego's father asking him what's his problem. Diego tells him that his friend from "work" is here to have dinner with them and wants them to act civilized. But Diego's father also doesn't remember Tiffany, and when he does, he also calls Tiffany a gringa. So Diego pleaded with them to act normal for once, to which they agree. But once they all sat at the table, Diego's mom immediately embarrasses Diego by asking if the two like having sex with each other and arguing with her husband once more. So Diego pulls them aside and asks the two: "what the hell". To which the two immediately respond by praying to themselves before asking Diego what's wrong. Diego explains what they did wrong, but the two claimed they didn't do anything and claims Tiffany is the one making them uncomfortable despite Tiffany never saying anything to begin with. So Diego begs them to change the subject. They do, and Diego's father asks Tiffany what does she like to do. So she explains that she likes to vlog on YouTube and explains to him what vlogging is. But Diego's father misinterprets this as her filming while touching herself. So Diego had to pull them aside once more and tells them to stop. But after he finishes lecturing them, Diego's Uncle Pablo pays a visit and also has dinner with them. But just like with Diego's parents, he also calls Tiffany a gringa and asks if she likes to use delivery door services a lot. So Diego pulls them aside again, but after the lecture, Diego's cousin Juan comes over for dinner. But just like everyone else, he asks a lot of stereotypical questions about white people towards Tiffany. Diego asks Tiffany if they can be excused again. But Tiffany finally has enough and tells Diego before she leaves that he and his family needs to work out their issues first before they do something like this again. Diego is upset by this and curses, to which his mom tells him not to say such words. Then the video ends.
