Hot Garbage is the 26th episode of the 2nd season of Teen Titans Go!.
Synopsis
When the Titans try to get Beast Boy to clean his dirty room, they discover that there is more to garbage than just plain trash.
Why This Episode Is Hot Garbage
- Firstly, this episode is very disgusting and the plot is somewhat similar to the SpongeBob SquarePants episode, Sentimental Sponge. As both episodes are both hoarding. However, the former does a better job at conveying the message because the main character learns his lesson while the other doesn’t and its way more grosser.
- The concept of a "garbage world" is gross and repulsive, even by the show's standards.
- Beast Boy being a hoarder contradicts his character because previous episodes depicted Beast Boy’s room as being clean.
- Some elements of this episode's logic don't make any sense at all, such as Beast Boy's bad odor killing the rest of the Titans.
- Second, Cyborg cutting the stink vapors fails because stink vapors are meant to represent smell because we obviously can’t smell through our TVs or the devices we watch media on. The characters are not supposed to see stink vapors, it’s only for we, the audience to see.
- Beast Boy’s dirty room is disgusting.
- Robin is so mean to Sticky Joe, who is apparently Beast Boy’s new roommate, by knocking down his can of beans and kicking him out of Beast Boy’s room.
- He just straight up shouted this to him: "Oh, and is there really any need for Sticky Joe?"
- Speaking of Sticky Joe, he’s a huge plot hole because we don’t know where he came from, he just randomly shows up in Beast Boy’s room.
- Despite the Titans' effort to try and get him to clean, the episode ends with Beast Boy going back to his trashy ways, making the past eleven minutes completely pointless.
- This episode also reveals that that Beast Boy used to watch a show that’s the in-universe equivalent to Sesame Street and looks up to the puppet who is the show’s Oscar the Grouch. That's how he learned to be a hoarder. Speaking of the Sesame Street parody, having "Oscar" sing about pooping in a jar is insulting to fans of Sesame Street and those who grew up with the show.
- When Beast Boy shows the Titans his "Garbage World", they literally reenact "Whole New World" from the Disney movie, Aladdin. Given he's showing them garbage, it comes off as insulting to Disney and Aladdin fans.
- Interestingly, in Freaks and Geeks episode, Smooching and Mooching, Neal Schweiber (who portrayed by Samm Levine) said that "This is a whole new world" and he sees double dating and triple dating, while the premise is different, the quote can also be an insult to the Disney film as well.
- Bad Moral: This episode encourages hoarding, which is a serious bad psychological issue because living with garbage is unsanitary and neighbors can call the sanitation police on you.
- The infamous, rancid moral "Love your garbage and it will love you back." In reality, garbage can pollute the air, attract rats, make you sick, and even kill you, and not only that, creating more garbage can even put living beings at risk of extinction, which is a serious problem.
Redeeming Qualities
- The Titans did try to change Beast Boy's habits and clean his room, even though they fail.
- This episode introduces Sticky Joe, who will go on to be a recurring character in the series.
