Synopsis


Gary Brolsma (Anthony Padilla) introduces himself:

One of Gary's friends (Ian Hecox) believes that no one can put both of their hands in a shredder. Gary, however, believes he can do it, and he does so as he and his friend scream in horror as Gary's hands are shredded.

Gary describes what happens next:

His parents could not afford replacement hands, so, during the surgery, they went with an alternative: feet. Someone (Ian) laughs offscreen, prompting Gary to threaten him with his new feet. Gary goes on to describe how, a couple of days ago, life started looking up again.

The video switches to a clip of Gary using his new feet-hands to prepare a meal before his father (Ian) enters and asks him to sit down to talk. Gary's father, with a mouthful of baguette, explains:



Gary, excited, begins "jam[ming] away" with his new Zvue right away. He plays and lipsyncs the Debbie Deb's song "Lookout Weekend".

The next day, Gary went out in public and draws the attention of two girls, as well as I-Dawg from the Gangstas, who insults Gary, who is not offended and is enjoying his new life. The person behind the camera thanks Gary, but calls him "Maria". Gary corrects him, but the interviewer asks if he is "Maria with the lobster hands". Gary gestures with his boot hands and rhetorically asks if his hands look like lobsters. The interviewer, confused, asks why Gary is here and orders him to leave. After Gary reluctantly complies, the interviewer comments aloud that he is now lonely.

Trivia

 * The songs saved on Gary's Zvue include "Wish I Never Love You" by Buzzcocks, "Phoenix" by Cibelle, "Lookout Weekend" by Debbie Deb, "Ambient and Grey" by Permanent Me, and a song by The Church.

Goofs

 * When Gary's father gets his son's attention, he puts a hand on his shoulder. However, in the subsequent shot, both of his hands are at his sides.
