Supernatural (TV series)/Recap/S06/E15 The French Mistake
The French Mistake
Balthazar arrives unexpectedly at Bobby Singer's home and proceeds to give the Winchesters a very hurried and incomplete explanation that he needs them to hide a key integral to Castiel's war effort. And then throws them through a window...
...right through the Fourth Wall as Dean and Sam land on crash pads on the set of Supernatural, a low-rated genre show in which they are actors playing the main characters. Hilarity Ensues.
Tropes
- Affectionate Parody: of the actors' public personae.
- Bad Bad Acting
- Big Fancy House: Apparently, Jared Padalecki lives in one. "Nice modest digs, Jay-Z."
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: not so much breaking, as pulverizing and tap-dancing in the ruins.
- Danger Takes a Backseat
- Dude Looks Like a Lady: Dean's reaction to learning that Raphael's new host is a woman.
- Ironic Echo: The freeze frame.
- Jerkass: Balthazar
- Kill'Em All: Virgil goes on a killing spree on the Supernatural set. Wherever the "real" Jared and Jensen went, they're going to be in for a shock when they get back.
- The Nth Doctor: Raphael has a new host.
- Other Me Annoys Me: Dean especially is peeved his alter ego Jensen Ackles
- Running Gag:
- "At least they're talking to each other."
- "Season six.."
- Self-Parody: Misha Collins has a ball with it.
