"Ding Dongers" is the 53rd episode of Season 2 and the 111th episode overall of Big City Greens.
Synopsis
Remy discovers Cricket’s antics are the key to online popularity on his new video-sharing app and pushes him into more and more dangerous stunts for views.
Plot
Remy has become addicted to a new app called Ding Dong where people upload short entertaining videos of themselves on the internet. While his friends such as Kiki, Weezie and Benny garner followers, Remy himself has very few of them, which disappoints him. Cricket, in an effort to hang out with Remy, hops onto the his window and asks to hang out.
He falls off of it and crashes where Remy realizes that the moment was caught on his phone. Suddenly, people begin following Remy for Cricket's antics and he invites him to help make more videos for him, despite Cricket not really caring about the followers. Tilly decides to follow suit by asking Gloria if she can make a Ding Dong account on her phone. Upon seeing it, Gloria decides to give it up to Tilly.
Remy starts off by having Cricket take part in some rather elaborate and dangerous stunts that all end with him getting severely injured. Despite Cricket slowly losing any reason and getting more and more beat up, Remy continues to abuse his friend as he quickly racks up followers until he has achieved higher status. When they stop to take a break, Remy sees that he is losing followers who want to see more and forces Cricket to perform one last elaborate stunt at the skate park.
Tilly decides to make Phoenix the subject of her Ding Dong video, but when she sees that no one is watching, she believes that Phoenix would be devastated and tries to lie. Phoenix "finds out" (she does not actually care) and Tilly believes that she has ruined her life.
At the skate park Cricket dizzily prepares for the final stunt which will put him through the ringer. Before he does, Remy is confronted by former viral star Itchaboi who has gone broke since Ding Dong became a huge hit. He is impressed with how Remy continues to abuse Cricket and realizing that he is hurting his friend quickly switches places with him and ends up going through the course.
Tilly tries to apologize to Phoenix for "deceiving" her, but realizes that she herself was her viewer and feels better, vowing never to let the internet soil their friendship again, and forsakes the phone. Again, Phoenix does not care.
As Gramma Alice washes the boys, Remy apologizes to Cricket afterwards for forcing him to do those stunts. They eventually find out that Benny mooched off their viral effort and has now achieved "platinum" status on Ding Dong.
