Swallower (Popee the Performer)

“Swallower” is the 11th episode of the 1st season of Popee the Performer.

Plot
Popee demonstrates his talent for sword swallowing and becomes over-zealous, resulting in disaster.

Why It Intentionally Sucks

 * 1) To get the elephant out of the room: The infamous face Popee makes after getting injured, and it is SURE to give people the chills, or to a lesser extent: Nightmares.
 * 2) Kedamono is awfully out of character and unlikable, as he starts laughing after seeing Popee injured.
 * 3) Popee is at his absolute worst as once he gets the sword out of his body, starts chasing Kedamono, attempting to kill him. He even eats Kedamono alive.
 * 4) *However, the sword chase is understandable, since Kedamono dragged him on the ground.
 * 5) Terrible animation, as usual.
 * 6) The bad ending where Popee swallows a large sword to kill Kedamono, and ends up getting pinned again.
 * 7) There’s a sad version of the Popee the Performer theme song playing throughout the entire episode, despite the episode itself not being very sad. Sure, the ending can be considered sad, but the music is still unnecessary.
 * 8) *It should be noted that they didn't bother playing the Popee the Performer theme song, which is what they use in major episodes whenever something bad or out of context happens onscreen. Here with "Swallower", it's nonexistent.
 * 9) The episode can be considered not just the worst episode of the series, but also for the amount of blood, graphic violence, and character death at the end. The episode ended up getting banned from KIDS STATION, due to the episode being too violent for children. (SEE MORE AT TRIVIA #1)

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) Like your average Popee episode, this is supposed to be a bad episode. But also like the show itself, it's supposed to act like a bad show. It's so weird, so edgy, and so bad, it's clearly a good episode.

Trivia

 * This episode was taken off the air due to the disturbing content shown throughout the episode.
 * This is one of only two episodes to have voice cues. The other being "FACE".
