They continue riffing on dark elements in classic Disney films like Sleeping Beauty and Pinocchio, then discuss the replacement of Splash Mountain with a Princess and the Frog themed ride, joking about how Disney will inevitably find a way to make even that racist.
- Old Disney movies like Pinocchio are genuinely dark and disturbing when you rewatch them—kids getting turned into donkeys and marooned on an island.
- Tim reacts to a confused family visiting Magic Kingdom for the last ride of Splash Mountain before Disney rebuilds it with a different, less racist theme.
- People buying water from Splash Mountain are sick, and Disney is changing the entire ride—probably to LGBT-themed, Tim suggests.
- Tim describes an absurdist vision of what the new ride could be: an AIDS crisis-themed attraction where visitors go through an ass in a penis boat.
- Ben Shapiro seems like a Disney adult, the type who gets a little too into it and becomes obsessive about theme parks.
- Taking a Disney cruise for your honeymoon without kids is odd and suggests something is wrong with the couple.
- Speculation on whether Disney will destroy Splash Mountain entirely or just retheme it, and what water-related Disney movies could replace it.
- Disney will probably find a way to make the new Bayou Adventure theme racist, Tim concludes, before acknowledging he went a little far.
