}}Episode 1 is the debut episode of [[Team Bulge Bomb]]'s ''[[Jetters Abridged]]''. It introduces most of the main cast of the series, though the primary plot and structure of the series would be established in [[Jetters Abridged - Episode 2|Episode 2]].
==Episode Description==
==Jokes, References and Explanations==
*The opening documentary dream is a blatant jab at Bomberman characters perpetually wearing jumpsuits and having faces with no visible orifices.
*The Hige Hige Bandits are apparently collectors of junk. This joke was dropped in later episodes.
*Birdy seems to have thoughts and muses at random, few of which are relevant to the topic at hand
**"Don't they know owls are useless in a recession?"
**"You know what my grandpa always said, "keep your friends close, keep your enemies at a Travel Lodge"... My grandpa's dead."
**"Wait, you're hitting on me? If so, what's your name?"
**"I just realized yesterday: I haven't been invited to prom in over thirty-five years."
*Other strange things Birdy does include losing the Cosmo Diamond simply by being unable to see it and opposing Mujoe by chomping his teeth at him
*Because Mighty and Shiro seem to be able to generate numerous things in the series from their bombs, this is played as to mean that the Bombermen have god-like powers.
*Mighty's fame, power and heroism seem to have gone to his head, and he no longer has a moral compass:
**When he confronts Shiro, he is singing the ''Superman'' theme, with Birdy providing backup over radio.
**He randomly
**Even though Mighty wasn't talking, he tells Shiro "don't interrupt me", and then immediately repeats what Shiro just said.
**Shiro seems to have killed and brought back Louie, which makes Mighty slightly competitive
**Mighty shows off to Shiro when it is not relevant or helpful at all.
***He fires a Bomber Shoot into the sky, which results in him lighting a woman's cigarette and killing a shark 20,000 light years away. The shark was only hitting on the woman.
**He seems to think he was supportive of Shiro's need for expression when he in fact did nothing but show off.
**He is willing to give up the Cosmo Diamond simply because the situation gets too stupid for him.
**He apparently kills Louie again as he and Shiro leave the museum.
**He pulls out balloons to make Shiro forget as Mighty flies away. Louie can be seen alive again next to Shiro immediately after.
**Shiro shouts out, "We haven't gotten to reminisce about you being a jerk!" Grandma follows this immediately by "Your brother's an asshole."
*Shiro is a problem child looking for a means of expression:
**After Shiro tosses numerous bombs into the city below, Grandma mutters to herself "Where the hell is CPS?"
**The Bomber Academy makes him so nervous that he needs to siphon adrenaline out of his pet, Louie, directly into his bloodstream. This results in Louie frequently dying, though Shiro seems to be able to bring him back. Later, Shiro is riding on Louie's back, and Louie is desperately gasping for air. Shiro calls him "my beast of burden".
**He is determined to help with the Cosmo Diamond despite what Mighty says, saying to himself "I'll show you; I'll show all of you."
**He seems sad and guilty for the problems caused by him involving the Cosmo Diamond.
*Mighty and Grandma's conversation makes fun of DeVry University and degrees in Communications
*Mujoe makes numerous unintentional innuendos and references to his large bulge, yet he seems to be sensitive about the topic:
**His first line is "Hey, what happened to my pants?"
**He compares his plan to his underwear
**Despite his plan apparently being drastically inefficient, "Mujoe's always big and in your face!" A Hige Hige Bandit shouts at him as a result, and it seems to offend Mujoe.
**Another bandit shouts at him after he says that translating the Hige Higes "doesn't sound remotely uplifting".
==Reception==
Episode 1 was very positively received, with Birdy taking much of the applause.
