Shorts Review: MegaRich
Spoilers Below
The guys at Stoopid Buddy Stoodios are at it again with another short inspired by Japanese entertainment. MegaRich is based on the classic Japanese series, Ultraman.
MegaRich starts out in the back of a factory or department store or something. A Japanese school girl stands around with a robot. She is approached by a man wearing a red jumpsuit, a helmet, black rubber gloves, and cowboy boots. Nothing unusual there. Naturally, the audio dubbing is way off.
The girl points to a giant monster named Gavina. Think about it. Gavina. This creature appears to have four large breasts with spikes for nipples. Gavina begins to smash buildings. Red jumpsuit tells the girl not to go anywhere because he told everyone this was a date. Okay seriously, who is this creep?
Apparently he is MegaRich. He transforms and grows to the size of Gavina. Now he wears a blonde wig and a white mask. After he transforms, he lands right on his balls. The robot laughs, and MegaRich gives him the finger.
MegaRich is about to fight Gavina when he realizes that his suit has boobs. He yells, “They gave me the wrong suit!” Some asshats in spaceships attempt to take out Gavina. But she makes them talk to the hand as they crash into it and explode.
MegaRich yells, “All right, check this shit out!” as he rips his tits off. He then engages Gavina in combat and shouts out this great catch phrase, “Keep your mouth shut and your eyes open. This is gonna kick ass!” During the fight, MegaRich begins humping Gavina and proclaims, “Oh, where is this going? This doesn’t feel wrong!”
After making love, they go back to fighting. Gavina struggles to shoot her laser, but finally figures it out after MegaRich offers to help her with it. MegaRich then takes Gavina back to his place. The school girl, robot, and red jumpsuit man laugh about it. Wait, I thought the red jumpsuit guy was MegaRich. Then again, I don’t think this was supposed to make any sense.
MegaRich is a fun little short. It is a great parody of Ultraman and similar Japanese shows. It has a lot of funny moments. What I like the best is the crazy one-liners that MegaRich shouts. It’s only a few minutes long and totally worth watching if you could use a good laugh.
