    For some reason the funniest part of the video is the intro. "Oh shi-" *Intro theme* "-Shit!" You gave the impression that you cut it off for censoring and then went through with it anyway. It's perfect.

    Obsessed with how Job says "Remember me?" as though it's been a long time since they last saw him even though it's literally been seconds. Also how Neil's character says "I can't believe he's *finally* dead", which given the video's short time frame suggests that he'd already been wanting Job to die for some time beforehand

      Trivia: We were real embarrassed by how stupid the rough edit was without effects. We joked that this video felt as aimless as Ryan Turns Into a Dog, which was an intentionally dumb comedy skit that had a creepy horse in the background on occasion.
      The horse on the microwave clock was my nod to how silly this was.

    The thing I like most about Neil Cicierega is that he has never once produced any work of art that has not made me ask deep, penetrating questions of myself, the universe and existence itself.
    Such as:
    1. What in the holy living fuck did I just watch?
    2. What in the name of absolute fuckery was the media that I just consumed?
    3. Explain to me in the name of motherfucking fuck what it is that my central nervous system just experienced?
    4. Please, if you would be so kind as to remove my ignorance as to the nature of the audiovisual recording reproduced for me by various electronic gadgetry and experienced by my senses and processed by various lobes of my brain, could you please do that thing?
    5. Did Nikola Tesla write the Bible?
