Synopsis


Ian is sitting on the couch in his living room, playing an unidentified violent video game on his Nintendo 64, when he hears his doorbell ring. Pausing the game, he gets up and opens the door, only to see a hooded man in dark clothing wielding an axe facing him in the eye. Ian yelps in terror and slams the door closed and, after some fumbling, locks the door. Looking around in panic, he tries to voice-dial on his phone, which registers his input as "Kyle", and calls his friend Kyle. Ian tries to get his phone to stop the dial, but Kyle answers the accidental call. Ian tries to explain that he cannot talk at the moment and that he is trying to dial 911. Either not hearing Ian or ignoring him, Kyle starts telling Ian about their mutual friend Katie, who "ma[de] out" with another mutual friend, Chris. Ian initially tries to get Kyle to stop so he can dial the police, but when Kyle mentions Chris, Ian forgets his situation and expresses his disbelief, as this Chris was, as Ian knew it, going out with another person named Katie. Kyle explains that Kate had previously broken up with Chris for another individual named Dan. Ian asks Kyle to clarify if he is referring to "Water Polo Dan" or "Tourette's Dan", but before Kyle can elaborate, he hears his door budging. Remembering his preidcament, Ian finally hands up on Kyle.

Ian successfully gets his phone to "Dial", but when he vocally enters "911", for whatever reason, his phone mistakes his input for another contact, Emily, who greets Ian and asks him if he heard about "Katie and that guy with Tourette's?" (confirming which Dan Kyle was referring to). Frustrated, Ian yells into his phone that he has already heard the story and tries again to vocally dial the police, but the phone registers the second "1" as "7". Ian can only flash a confused look at his phone before the axe-wielding man at his door tauntingly informs Ian that he has found the spare key under the doormat, prompting Ian to run to his bedroom. Closing the door, Ian can only slump to the floor against it. Hearing footsteps approaching his bedroom, a shadow enters view in the space between the door and the floor as the axe-wielding man jiggles the locked doorknob. Ian, silently praying to himself, made a dash to hide beneath his desk.



The axe-wielding man eventually gets the door open and enters the bedroom. Ian, who moved his desk chairs and made a roof out of a Spider-Man blanket to better conceal himself, cannot help but whisper to himself in fear as he watches the axe-wielding man look around his bedroom, first eying the closet, then the floor, then the bed, before finally approaching the desk. Kneeling down and seeing Ian in the darkness, the axe-wielding man pulls the blanket down and swivels the chair out of the way. Ian initially tries to plead for himself, but his voice quickly trails away as he realizes the axe-wielding man is merely an irritated Anthony, who interrupts him by handing Ian the axe and explaining that Ian had left his axe at his (Anthony's) house. Anthony mentions that he is getting sick of having to "go through this crap" every time he tries to return something to Ian, but before he leaves, asks Ian if he heard the news involving Katie. Ian, smiling, says that he did and agrees that she is a "skank".

Trivia

 * This video was filmed in Anthony's house.
 * This video was recreated in the Ian is Bored episode "DOLLS AND AXE MURDERERS". Like the other classic videos recreated, but Ian and Anthony played each other's roles. The axe was also replaced with a mop.

Goofs

 * The door to the bedroom lacks a lock, but is portrayed in the video as if it did.
 * At one point while talking to Kyle, Ian closes his phone, but in the next shot, he is talking on it again.
