Ship Of Fools is the fourth episode of Kappa Mikey.

[edit] Summary

After hearing of the release of his new video game, Mikey tries desperately to get his hands on it - but at the release, fans carry away every available copy. After many unsuccessful attempts at obtaining a copy, he is forced to 'pirate' a copy - that is, get it from actual pirates. He does get the game, but the pirates take something from him in exchange - Gonard! Now, Mikey must save his friend, even if it endangers his life, and the game.

[edit] Subplot

In Mikey's absence, Lily is getting swept into the charm of Suave Mikey, a Mikey look-alike, whom they mistake for the real Mikey. However, Mitsuki is quite suspicious- does Mikey really have a car, a boat, and memories of a trip to Venice?

[edit] Trivia

While everyone is shouting that they are Mikey, one shouts at random "I'm Spartacus!" a homage to the movie Spartacus. He then makes appearances in succeeding episodes to shout out something at the most opportune moment.
This episode shares the name of the Doors song "Ship of Fools". Ship of Fools is also the name of a movie.
