Superbar is the first episode of Season One. It is the second episode of Superjail overall.

Plot[]

In this episode it begins with Jacknife at a carnival near a body of water. Jacknife plays a game of throwing darts, but ends up throwing the darts at the booth operator, taking the money, and jumping into a boat. He kicks both the woman and her man off of the boat, but gives their daughter a stuffed green bear. The cops begin to pursue Jacknife, but are taken out by Jailbot, who then seizes Jacknife to take to Superjail, leading to the intro.

As The Warden in his office spies on Alice (who is exercising), Jared talks with him. The Warden comes up with a plan to build up a Superbar to take Alice on a date at. Jared is selected to be the bartender, even though he is a recovering alcoholic. The Warden then calls Alice to invite her, but she misinterprets his request to go with the most eligible Superjail bachelor, and agrees to go. Overjoyed, The Warden hops all over the bar.

Next, The Warden opens the bar. While the convicts are having fun, the Smart Convict goes to the bathroom to take a piss, but uses the girl's bathroom instead of the male's one (after seeing some inmates have a naked Twister themed-orgy in the latter) and punches a hole through the wall when he sees that in the girls' bathroom, the wall leads to a tunnel that leads over to the ocean and the Sea Gate. After that, the Smart Convict tells fellow convicts his plan to use a device they need to build called A.S.C.R.A.C. (Amphibious Secretly Constructed Rapid Ascape Craft) to get though the hole in the bathroom through the ocean to the surface. Lots of the inmates including Bird, Gary, and the Gay Couple are in on it.

In the next scene, The Warden is singing about the bar. While this is happening the convicts are taking parts of the bar to make the A.S.C.R.A.C. in the girls bathroom. In the next part Alice comes to the bar with her date Sweet Cheeks Convict, and that pisses off The Warden so he starts drinking shots. Meanwhile, the convicts are working on the sub and they see Alice coming so they try to delay her. And all the while The Warden talks to the now dead Sweet Cheeks Convict. The Warden drops a few drips of his drink on Jared which he gets in his mouth. Jared then starts drinking and goes to The Warden's Office and starts pressing buttons at his desk. Alice comes in the bathroom and sees the convicts leave and she follows. The convicts prepare for their escape. Meanwhile, a drunk Jared presses the button to open the Sea Gate. Water runs through the bar as the convicts sub goes in the water. A weird killing marathon then starts between the escaping convicts and various sea creatures, during which Jacknife escapes by swimming out through the huge hole in the wall. Alice ends up opening the Sea Gate, which leads to all of the water leaving the bar. Then she saves The Warden.

In the last moments of the episode, the teenaged Girl from the beginning of the episode is talking at home with her two girlfriends about how Jacknife kicked her mother and father off the latter's own boat while Jacknife shows up in the window, which prompts the girls to scream.

Trivia[]

An unfinished/fine cut version of this episode originally aired on April 1st 2008, as apart of Adult Swim's annual April Fools Day joke. The episode itself originally aired during a series of sneak peaks of upcoming Adult Swim show premieres.
This is the very first episode to feature Coming Home by Cheeseburger being played at the beginning of an episode intro.
This episode is the only appearance of Nicky and Beefy respectively in the first season.
On the Adult Swim.com website, the mechanical head of The Warden, that is seen in girl's bathroom, is classified as a "Mechanical Warden Head" on the closed captions of this episode.
If you look closely at the words on the poster of the Sea People movie, The Escape Plan!, they say "The Warden presents in association with Superjail productions "The Escape Plan." Starring Clam Elliot (Sam Elliot), Goldfish Hawn (Goldie Hawn), Eddie Mackerel, Whale Smith (Will Smith), Barnacle Streisand (Barbara Streisand), Fishy Stephens, Water Matthau (Walter Matthau), Ringo Starfish (Ringo Starr), and Marlin Wayans (Marlon Wayons), Written by John Ley. Directed by Orson Whales (Orson Welles)." This said movie is Rated R.
Skinny, the Starving Inmate, is shown working out while being rejected by Alice.
In the background of Superbar, there are license plates on the walls with the numbers 66 or 666 on it.
When Jared presses the button of the Sea Gate, there are some buttons above, one of them reads "Dino Farm" while another one has the words "Grizzly bear" on it. The latter word is not fully shown onscreen.
One of the license plates that is seen when Superbar is flooded with water reads "BUN-LV", a reference to the series' pilot episode "Bunny Love."

Cultural References[]

This episode is loosely based on the 2000 animated short Bar Fight! This was an animated short created by Christy Karacas and Stephen Warbrick, the series’ co-creators of Superjail.
One of the arms of the inmates has a prison tattoo of a gangster-like Care Bear on it.
The prison tattoo on Turban's left forearm depicts the Twin Towers ablaze, a possible reference to the September 11th, 2001 Terrorist Attacks.
The Warden's Party Bar song that he sings on stage in the Superbar is an off-key parody of the song Love Shack by B-52’s. The original song itself was planned to be used, but was cut from this episode due to Adult Swim not having the rights to use the song.
If you look closely at the Redneck Convict’s prison tattoos, you can see a prison tattoo of the head of an Ku Klux Klansman. This tattoo references the Ku Klux Klan, a real-life cult-like American white nationalist group.
Before teleporting away from the running water, one of the Twins says "Beach blanket blammo", a possible reference to the beach film Beach Blanket Bingo.
