📺 The Buttles Episode 5 – Captain Emo’s Big Strop

Emo’s back in a big way, baby — but self-indulgent strops could derail revolutions before they’ve even left the harbour.

EPISODE PLOT:

The ship has stopped… and no one knows why. Paul just wants to write another song for the “undeveloped minds,” Ron is ranting about the emancipation of workers, Jingo would rather be watching paint dry, and Greg… well, Greg just wants to meet some lasses.

But only one man can get the Nautilus moving again: Captain Emo.

The problem? He’s having a massive strop.

Will the gang’s musical talent, political ideology, and questionable motivational speeches be enough to lure him out? Or will Greg have to do what Greg always does: sort it the hard way.
