Episode synopsis
Leia features a videocast about obscure boargames on the internet. She invites Oswaldo to be her assistant during one of the episodes, but he manages to struggle with the pieces and the super glue, making an absurd mess in a few seconds. The video goes viral and he becomes a web celebrity - for a long 3 minutes before the next meme becomes a sensation - the ""boo-yo-yo boy"". But these 3 minutes of fame were enough for Oswaldo to achieve success, hire his father as his agent, write a book and destroy his friendship with Léia - some of the mishaps of fame.... Oswaldo then discovers himself a former famous, a sub-celebrity and the only job he gets is a series of failed events - a pigeon convention, a debutante party and a deadly attempt to viralize a video tape - a new opportunity to regain the glory of the success of hours ago.
About Oswaldo
'Oswaldo' follows the misadventures of a school-aged penguin who was adopted and raised by human parents and who must now face his biggest challenge -- surviving school… which is way harder than it sounds, especially when you are an excitable, flat-out weird little guy whose brain is infused with useless pop-culture. Thankfully, this weirdest of penguins can count on Tobias and Leia the kind of friends who are there no matter what life throws at him – strict art teachers, rabid packs of babies, role-playing games gone awry, and even occasional rogue science fair projects. Which is pretty much what ‘Oswaldo’ would call a normal day.
