Jeffy is back in the recording booth, and honestly, nobody saw it coming this way. After years of fans begging Logan Thirtyacre for a trilogy capper, Jeffy the Rapper 3 finally dropped on April 25, 2025. It wasn't just another puppet video. It was a chaotic, high-energy return to a "musical" era many thought was dead and buried.
If you’ve followed SML (SuperMarioLogan) for any length of time, you know the history. The first two "Jeffy the Rapper" installments are legendary in the community. They spawned songs like "Why" and "Wanna See My Pencil" that racked up millions of streams. But the third one? It’s a different beast entirely.
What Really Happens in Jeffy the Rapper 3
The plot is basically a fever dream. It kicks off with Junior trying to get Joseph’s attention, but Joseph is lost in his AirPods. Classic. When Jeffy finally enters the mix, he claims he’s been sitting on a "rainy day" track on a secret YouTube channel called—wait for it—JeffyLaysPipeAndPoopers4297.
The episode features two main tracks: "Cheeses" and "My Diaper."
"Cheeses" is a bizarrely catchy vibe, but "My Diaper" is the one that really leaned into the modern SML style. We're talking about a track released officially on May 15, 2025, through SML Track and Sml Music. It’s got that 87 BPM slow-burn rap energy. It’s stupid. It’s crude. It’s exactly what the Jeffy fanbase craves.

The Return of Ray Cheesy
One of the wildest things about this specific video is the deep-cut cameos. Ray Cheesy made his first appearance in over 11 years. Eleven years! The last time we saw him was in "Toad’s Stupid Idea." Seeing a character from the pre-2015 era show up in the modern "Human Puppet" era was a massive shock for long-time viewers.
Why the Human Puppet Era Changed the Game
You've probably noticed Jeffy doesn't look like a certain Nintendo-adjacent character anymore. Due to the legal pressures and the shift to original designs, Jeffy the Rapper 3 is the first in the "rapper" sub-series to use the modern puppets.
Some purists hate it. Others think it gives Logan more freedom to be as unhinged as he wants without worrying about a certain plumbing company’s lawyers.
- The Cast: Lance Thirtyacre still carries the show as the voice of Jeffy.
- The Dynamic: The interaction between Marvin (the adoptive dad) and Jeffy remains the heart of the conflict.
- The Tone: This episode feels like a "hard R" version of the earlier videos, featuring more explicit jokes about rockstar lifestyles and "catching every STD known to man."
Marvin tries to be the voice of reason, telling Jeffy to go to college. Jeffy’s response? He’d rather be a "hood rat" and travel to Thailand in a tour bus that he's convinced can drive over water because of the Magic School Bus.

Addressing the Controversy
SML has always been a lightning rod for criticism. Groups like the Terrible SML Videos Wiki have pointed to Jeffy as the start of the channel’s "downhill" slide. They cite "flanderization"—where a character’s traits become exaggerated to the point of being annoying.
But the numbers don't lie. Jeffy the Rapper 3 pulled in massive views almost instantly. For a channel that has dealt with deletions, demonetization, and constant platform shifts, this video proved that the Jeffy brand is still a juggernaut.
Honestly, the "hood rat" segment with Tyrone (voiced by Anthony "Pops" Miller) is some of the funniest banter SML has produced in years. Tyrone calling Jeffy the "new Kanye" while Jeffy brags about eating ham (he means "going ham") is peak SML wordplay.

Bringing back Ray Cheesy wasn't an accident. It rewarded the "OG" fans who have been watching since the basement days. If you’re building a brand, don't forget your roots, even when you evolve.
2. Cross-Platform Monetization is Key
Logan didn't just put the video on YouTube. The songs "My Diaper" and "Cheeses" were pushed to streaming platforms like Apple Music and Shazam. This turns a 15-minute puppet sketch into a multi-stream revenue engine.
3. Authenticity Trumps Polish
The "Jeffy the Rapper 3" video isn't a cinematic masterpiece. It’s a group of friends with puppets improvising and having a blast. That raw energy is what makes it "human-quality" in an era of over-produced AI content.
4. The Cliffhanger Strategy
This episode was the first in the "Human Puppet" era to end with a "To be continued" screen. It builds immediate demand for Jeffy the Rapper 4. Always leave them wanting one more joke.
