Neil's procrastination is relatable, and reminds me of a character in a Richard Scarry children's book who wouldn't repair the hole in his roof when it was raining because it was too wet outside, and wouldn't repair the hole when it was sunny because nothing comes through his roof when it's sunny.

Incredibly unhinged video, I wonder how much of this is intentional but the entire thing feels just the mildest amount of uncanny in so many different ways. From the lightly awkward conversation between characters who can't decide whether they know their universe or not, the greenscreen that looks clean yet my brain won't let me forget that it's clearly vfx, the plot that keeps promising anything yet somehow gets less done than the average guaranteed video script. Honestly what might get me most is how the somewhat recurring gag around swearing and its censorship has just evolved into completely unacknowledged cursing that feels like it's punishing me for expecting a punchline. Great work as always.
