SBC: Blast And The Chocolate Factory

Originally, this episode was going to be completely different. It was just supposed to be about Blast And Mania running a café. Which yes was in the video, but that was gonna be it.

It wasn’t until the he finished editing he decided the video was too short, which was weird considering he said that about the previous and this one was longer at 3 minutes. But there was potential, he randomly got the idea to make the episode be a Willy Wonka parody for the second half. He randomly joined Luigi one day and he was easily on board and bought the same costume you see on the spot. Blast also wanted to get as many people as possible in this video, hoping to make it the best episode for a long time. The Original filming began on June 2nd 2020, but the Wonkie scenes were filmed only 3 days before the episode aired. Which meant Blast had only 3 days to edit it, and there was more than 40 minutes of footage. And Blast didn’t want to miss an upload just yet, so he started fast.

The reason it was only 3 days before filming is he couldn’t get everyone online, so he edited a bit where there was cutouts of the people who couldn’t make it in so they’d have cameos, this unintentionally made it better and funnier.

This was the second episode to cross 5 minutes, with “SBC: The Titanic” ahead of it. Thursday, June 17th, Blast finally finished the episode, he edited for 10 hours straight the entire day only taking a 2 hour break, to go swim in his pool. Anyways— the episode was sent to The Squad on discord and here’s some reactions.

The video got amazing reactions. Everyone agrees this is the best episode by a landslide. And it’s the Golden Standard for an episode. With it capping off at 7 minutes and 5 seconds. Featuring the first “funny moments” in the series. Many people like this episode due to Luigi’s performance as Wonkie.

This episode was the 12th in the series.

This episode featured Blast and Mania throughout the entire video, Wonkie and Jo in the second half, Charlie, BrickBrickBrickRick, Turd Trooper, Jessie, Sowwie making a 3 second cameo. This is Turd Trooper and BrickBrickBrickRicks first appearances. Lee appears midway during the Cafe scenes. One of Blasts old survivor friends also makes a 1 note appearance as the customer in the first 2 minutes. This was the first episode to cross 100 views, and gained 300 views 6 months later. This episode also (currently as of January 2021) considered his favourite video he’s made ever to date.

This episode was the first to not use the original PlayStation intro, this intro would be used until Wonkies Power Plant, but parts of the intro are used to present day as of January 2021.

This episode is still considered the best, the time this is being written, 7 months later.
