Listen, buddy! When the 17,494th most-subscribed-to YouTube channel mocks your billion dollar blockbuster franchise... well... w- we'll just see how you feel about it!
On this special 10 Year Anniversary episode of Half in the Bag, Mike and Jay reminisce about the early days of their grift. However, they are greeted an unexpected guest...
Plot[edit | edit source]
Just having gotten back from a doctor's exam, Mr. Plinkett returns to the Plinkett household and attempts to rest in his favorite chair. His relaxation is thwarted however by the arrival of Mike and Jay, and Plinkett leaves to wash up instead.
Jay notes that it's been 10 years since they've started their grift, lamenting the fact that it hasn't been profitable or socially respectable for them. Mike, however, is joyful they hadn't made any enemies during the course of the show.
The two are surprised to see George Lucas with a man in a suit. The man proceeds to destroy several decorations in Plinkett's household under Lucas's orders. As the man leaves, George explains that he had been bullied on the internet due to the Mr. Plinkett Reviews and their review of The People vs. George Lucas, which prompted him to sell the franchise rights to "the shittiest company on earth:" Disney.
Unexpectedly for Mike, he attempts to solve the problem diplomatically, asking George to sit down with them and have a beer. The two discuss how George did his best with the films he helped to direct, and George expresses interest in finally directing his "small, personal movies."
Mike decides to invite George to the duo's other project: an internet show called Best of the Worst where they laugh at bad movies. George agrees to let loose and make fun of a different filmmaker. The crew queue up Turkish Star Wars and watch the film in the screening room with Rich Evans.
The episode ends with an In Memoriam card for George Lucas, thanking the viewer for 10 years of Half in the Bag.
