Summary[]

The episode begins with King deciding which of his two current Nintendo systems he should get rid of because the Nintendo Switch is coming out soon and he wants to make room for his new gaming console. King cannot decide which one to choose, so he looks up the resale prices for a 3DS and a Wii U on his MacBook Pro. He finds out that his MacBook Pro isn’t turning on (due to a faulty battery), so he gets his MacBook Air out and then resumes his search for the resale price. After finding out which one he should get rid of, he picks up the Nintendo 3DS XL from the table.

  1. Basic Drop - King drops it.
  2. Basic Drop In Water - King drops his 3DS XL in a bathtub filled with water.
  3. Originality - King gets upset at his laptop because there is already a "50 ways to break a 3DS" video uploaded by another user, but it turns out to be a Nintendo DS Lite, so he slams the table with his 3DS XL.

  5. Lightbulb - King unscrews a light bulb from his porch, throws it in the garbage where the 3DS XL was, and ends up shattering the lightbulb entirely.
  6. Streetpass - King is playing on his 3DS XL, a friend who was holding his New Nintendo 3DS walks by and King asks him to Streetpass each other. The friend apologizes to King that he’s busy doing something, but he gets angry at him for not accepting his Streetpass and throws his 3DS XL on the ground near him. His friend sarcastically Streetpass him, so King checks on his 3DS XL, but he didn’t get a notification.
  7. Texting And Driving - King tells the viewers that you can’t use your phone while driving, but never said you can’t use your 3DS while driving. Instead of driving his car, he rides his bike, and rides down the street supposedly playing his game on his 3DS XL, until he crashes into a tree and gets injured. After getting injured from the crash, he briefs a disclaimer to the viewers: Playing 3DS and driving can be dangerous. Text and drive instead.

  9. Age Limit - King realizes he paid 40 dollars for the game and decides to enjoy it if he can. He turns on the 3D option on his 3DS XL and begins to have a seizure. The camera cuts to the box of the game and zooms in with the disclaimer of 3D mode being for ages 7 and up. Since he willingly decided to play Sonic Boom: Fire and Ice, it means he's technically under 7 years old. Once he recovers from the seizure, he blames his 3DS and begins hitting it with a grill brush.
  10. Nightmare - King is sleeping in his bed and out of nowhere, his 3DS XL opens by itself. The 3DS XL was threatening to kill his family, but King doesn't hesitate and throws it out the window.
