'''"Sooga Size Me"''' is the third cartoon part of episode 23 of the animated series [[Pucca]] which premiered [[April 16]], [[2007]] on the cable television network [[Jetix]].
April: it is?


The title is a pun played on [[Morgan Spurlock]]'s [[2004]] documentary ''[[Super Size Me]]''.


KC: it is working.. one hour and 30 mins na lang log out na. may pera ka pa? ako wala na.
== Plot ==


>eto 2 k nlng...
An obnoxious [[Texas|Texan]] couple named Tex Lugie and Sloppy Sew visit Sooga Village driving in their gas-guzzling RV from out of the ocean, assuming they drove across the bottom of the sea.


KC: elo vince, sali ka naman..
Out comes Tex and Sew emerge from their vehicle dry, but immediately encounter the locals, calling them "foreigners" and that the only way to speak to them is really loud believing that no one speaks their language. Uncle Ho quickly disproves Tex's assumption that no one speaks Tex's language by yelling back at him.

Tex and Sew are wealthy but spoiled with riches to the point that Sew uses a cattle prong to brand everything she sees is hers.


'''Vince:''' andito na me
All this driving however has made the imperialistic couple very hungry, and so they drive about ten feet from the shore to the Guh-Ryong to try out the local cuisine. Displeased with the normal-sized portions, the couple tells the chefs that they plan to construct their own restaurant that is larger than the Guh-Ryong that serves larger portions.

When the restaurant is complete, Tex tells Uncle Dumpling that he changed the names of the meals so that the Guh-Ryong chefs wouldn't sue him for [[copyright infringement]]. Tex's goal is to eventually run the Guh-Ryong out of business.

The Vagabond Ninjas work at the new restaurant. Binggure(Clown) is their corporate [[mascot]]. Jing-Jing(Chief) works as a [[cashier]]. And Jumong(Shaman) works as a cook. Under Tex's orders, food is cooked using Texas [[Crude Oil]] instead of [[cooking oil]]. Tex stated that people still buy it regardless if they notice it in their food.


KC: hello, vanilla. what's with the vanilla ba? bakit vanilla?
Just then, music began to play in the restaurant, to which Tex and Sew can't help but dance to the country music.


'''Vanilla means simple nothing special..'''
Eventually, the food does become noticed when people start littering the town with the oil tycoon's styrofoam boxes. The town's people become addicted to the food, making them overweight and lethargic.

Tex installs a [[conveyor belt]] where people queue outside coming out significantly fatter than they were when they came in. The problem becomes so bad that Abyo and Garu can't [[sparring|spar]] with each other because they are overweight, and the Guh-Ryong is force to close their doors, something Pucca refuses to accept.

Pucca collects all the garbage and balls it into one big styrofoam ball and knocks down Tex's restaurant. Tex and Sew respond by activating a feature on their RV that transforms the vehicle into a fighting robot. The robot then begins to smash building throughout the town.

Since Pucca can not fight the war machine with her kung-fu, she runs back to her room back at the Guh-Ryong and finds a fiddle. When Pucca starts playing the fiddle, the robot can't help but dance to the country rhythm which then gains lyrics from Pucca's uncles. The square dance leads the robot to walk off a cliff. As the robot falls down the ledge, Tex and Sue vow to return, which may happen as the series continues to develop.

The day is saved. The Guh-Ryong restaurant reopens and Pucca takes advantage of the plump Garu by working him back into shape.

== Parodies and Satire ==
This episode is full of references, parodies, and satire. The animated series of ''Pucca'' is written in [[Canada]]. Because of the Canadian influence, this allowed the writers to possibly vent their frustrations as well as make a few subtle comments about American imperialism.

* Binggure's job as a corporate mascot parodies [[McDonald's]] [[Ronald McDonald]].
* Tex's comment that he seeks to run the Guh-Ryong out of business with his big restaurant may be a tongue-in-cheek reference to [[Wal-mart]] squeezing out local small businesses.
* "Tex and Sew" may be a [[homonym]] for "Texans! Ew!" but to be kind, the writers decided to call them Tex Lugie and Sloppy Sew.
* Aside from the parody title, this episode makes a few references to ''[[Super Size Me]]''.
* Tex and Sue may be parodies of United State president [[George W. Bush]] and his wife [[Laura Bush]], but to avoid making the show political, the characters were drawn differently. Sloppy Sew seems to reference [[Tammy Faye Bakker]]. The crude oil reference supports the intentions of the writers.
* Another possible tongue-and-cheek jab may have been about [[Jetix]] which shows the [[Power Rangers]] television series. The show the general precedes Pucca in the programming line-up often features giant fighting robots.
* The RV robot may also reference the [[The Transformers (TV series)|Transformers]] cartoon series.
