Saved by Luigi’s pepperoni pizza. Yummmmmm It doesn’t get any better than that! Even Bleeb is impressed.

“Cheese it, the firemen!”

“Ewww, I’m all greasy.”

I would’ve landed face first.

The poor lady is not happy. She’s vegan.

I’m not so sure…hot cheese and grease in your nether regions might be just a touch uncomfortable.

Wouldn’t that be real heavy to pick up?

Should have deep dish/pan pizza. A lot more cushioning.

Hasn’t anyone ever had that hot, HOT cheese stick to the roof of their mouth?

Umm I prefer to eat the pizza. Now if Luigi had a giant size bubble wrap then….

Gotta love that spider man pizza crust. For the record, I would love one of those pepperoni manhole covers. Pleeeeze!

Wait! Not the thin crust!

A pizza oven big enough to cook that pizza would collapse into a black hole. The best thing you could cook with it would be s’mores from the Hawking radiation.

“CUT!!!“

“BLEEEEB!”

“ᴡʜᴀᴛ-ᴡʜᴀᴛ-ᴡʜᴀᴀᴀᴀᴀᴛ!“

“You were supposed to jump at the same time as the female character!”

“ɪ’ᴍ ɴᴏᴛ ᴊᴜᴍᴘɪɴɢ ɪɴᴛᴏ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʟᴇss ᴛʜᴀɴ ᴀ ᴅᴇᴇᴘ ᴅɪsʜ sᴜᴘʀᴇᴍᴇ!“

“That’s not how it’s written in the script…. You know, sometimes I don’t understand why you do what you do!”

“Yᴏᴜ ᴋɴᴏᴡ, sᴏᴍᴇᴛɪᴍᴇs ᴡʜᴇɴ ʏᴏᴜ ᴛᴀʟᴋ, ᴀʟʟ ɪ ʜᴇᴀʀ ɪs sᴛᴜᴘɪᴅ!“

Skish?? I think I would have come up with better Onomatopoeia…..Maybe splish? Ideas?

If it was one of those Hawaiian Pizzas, people might rather burn than jump…

Now she has 3rd degree burns over half her body from that melted cheese

It would have been nice to see Bleeb wearing a little fire helmet and holding the pizza net

If that is heat coming off that giant pizza, she might have jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire!

Touch choice – thick-crust takes too long to cook, thin-crust won’t take the edge strain. Had to do what they always do: when in doubt, add more cheese.

Smart woman, she did a backflip. A face first landing probably would have been lethal.

To be fair, Luigi’s crust IS the chewiest and most tender! <3

It might take her a while to get her off the pizza.

The way those flames are moving Luigi’s Pizza Parlor is going to be toast soon…

I hope it’s Brooklyn pizza, the best there is anywhere.
