Speaker A
Ah! Isn't this exciting? Moving into a new home... Taking out a ridiculous mortgage? I'm going to be in debt my whole life!
00:08
Speaker A
Ye-e-es! Alpha 3? That's a weird name for a town. Could've sworn the place I was moving into was called Alpha 2.
00:16
Speaker A
Oh well! Ahhh! The grass is green, the birds are... keys, and there she is, a betch. I'll leave my car here and walk towards my house.
00:27
Speaker A
Which I'm sure will not bite me in the ass later. Alrighty, first order of business...
00:31
Speaker A
Oh. Hello neighbor! Uhh... uh-uh... Uh-why? Uh... [paper tearing] Hi, yeah, I'd like to report a robbery.
00:40
Speaker A
Yeah, yeah, yeah, some weird dude came up an- WHAT THE HELL?! [Knocks on door] Ugh, come on.
00:46
Speaker A
I know you're there, answer the door! Yeah, I can see you! I CAN SEE YOU!!
00:53
Speaker A
Ah, for God's sake... Guess I'll just walk back to my car and get my second phone and talk to myself for some reason.
00:58
Speaker A
Aah! What is this? Why am I a mime now? What is going on?! I could actually die of starvation.
01:06
Speaker A
All my food is in the car! I- I guess I could ask a neighbor for help or something!
01:10
Speaker A
AHH!! WHAT THE HELL I- MMM! MMM! Mmm... [Gasp] I guess it was just a dream.
01:18
Speaker A
AH! Maybe not! Huh? MM MUH MM MMM... [Gasp] A dream within a dream maybe? Screw this!
01:26
Speaker A
Hey! Give me back my notepad! Oh yeah, and the phone too? Wait, what time is it right now?
01:30
Speaker A
8:00 P.M. Oh shit! I'm going to miss Desperate Housewives! WOAH! [Gasp] What time is it? 7:55?
01:37
Speaker A
GIVE MY NOTEPAD BACK OR YOU'LL BE SORRY, YOU'LL BE- Uh... [Silence with crickets chirping] Hello?
01:45
Speaker A
[muffled screaming] [Gasp] 7:55. OK, so we can establish that time is looping. So I'm basically in the movie Groundhog Day, but unlike Bill Murray I can't master the piano, or pick up girls.
01:55
Speaker A
Because the WALLS ARE THERE! A neighbor! Hey, uh, neighbor! Neighbor person! Yes, you. Howdy, neighbor!
01:59
Speaker A
Look mate, I'm in some deep shit right now... Ah, that's normal. You get used to the manure in these parts.
02:04
Speaker A
That's not what I mean, look, I'm in Groundhog Day. What now? It's a comedy.
02:08
Speaker A
It is? Is it on Netflix? You know what? I think it was, but it might not be anymore.
02:10
Speaker A
Maybe have a look. Look, whatever, who cares? Just walk towards me! You didn't even buy me dinner first.
02:14
Speaker A
[Weird Laughing] Ha ha, yeah, good one. Just do it and I'll tell you the best penguin joke of all time.
02:19
Speaker A
Damn it! Penguin jokes, my weakness! Ow! My cranium! Has this invisible wall always been here?
02:24
Speaker A
Not as far as I know, unless they did some construction here recently... Yeah, because I'm trapped in this little area right now!
02:30
Speaker A
Sucks to be you! Ah haa! Can you just- [Gasp] Ok, that does it. Oh God!
02:50
Speaker A
Do you want blue or black? AH! [Gasp] I am so done with this! Now listen, neighbor! You better give me my notepad, or- [Gasp] Whoa whoa whoa whoa no whoa whoa!
03:01
Speaker A
Before you grab me, before you grab me! BEFORE you grab me! Can't we be civil about this? Did you steal my notepad and my phone?
03:07
Speaker A
And you keep putting your hands on me. And I'll be honest mate, I don't know where you've been or what you do during the day.
03:11
Speaker A
For all I know, you've just finished having a wank, you know what I mean? Now imagine being in my shoes, can you imagine that?
03:15
Speaker A
Don't imagine that, you might depress yourself. Look, just why are you doing this? That's a really strange looking door you- [Gasp] It's got to be the door!
03:24
Speaker A
Hello- [Gasp] Here we go again... AH! WOAH WOAH WOAH! Before you lay one more hand on me!
03:29
Speaker A
Lemme ask you one simple question! Have you ever seen Groundhog Day? AH! [Gasp] Well that's gotta be a yes.
03:35
Speaker A
This thing just got bigger than I could have anticipated. Screw my phone with incredibly limited battery life.
03:40
Speaker A
And screw that notepad I bought on a whim! The pressures of life. That door's got to be the answer...
03:44
Speaker A
TO END MY GROUNDHOG SEQUEL!!! HA HA! [Gasp] God damn it! I think it's about time I formally introduced myself to the neighbors.
03:56
Speaker A
Yeah, try and touch- mmff! [Gasp] [Cries] [whispering] Nice and easy, nice and easy. Just like the neighbor's mom.
04:06
Speaker A
Heh heh, I'm funny... [SNAP!] AAH!!! OOHH SHIT! [panting] Aaaggghh!!! On a scale of 1 to 10, this FUCKING HURTS!
04:20
Speaker A
[gasps and screams] TV: Eat my asshole! Eat my asshole! [screaming and groaning in the distance] Gotta... end... life... 🔪 AGHH!
04:30
Speaker A
[Gasp] Oh my god, leg I missed you... OK, Plan G! Glue. This will slow him down easily.
04:37
Speaker A
There we go, that should do it. Let's trap him, and slap his stupid face a few times.
04:42
Speaker A
Now just to get his attention. MEOW! MEOW! He's coming! Yes! Yes! Oh, hello neighbor!
04:49
Speaker A
Let's see you get past this! Oh shit. [Gasp] You know what? I'm done! I'm done!
04:54
Speaker A
I'm just gonna lie down here and sleep! [yawn] He thinks I care, I don't care...
05:00
Speaker A
[Gasp] You know what, I could just beat this guy up! But I won't resort to violence.
05:03
Speaker A
That never solved anything! Apart from most problems, honestly. So I think it's time to write a formal letter of complaint.
05:09
Speaker A
Dear Mr. Neighbor, It's Gooney McGooni- That's why I failed to see your reasoning of attacking me.
05:13
Speaker A
And now we wait... [Gasp] A letter! [Gasp] THAT'S IT! I'VE GOT A- LAMP BUT I- I WILL USE IT!
05:25
Speaker A
[thud] [gasp] Oh shit! [Gasp] Okay, I really should have seen that one coming. -Neighbor watches- -record skip- Toy Story? Haha! Ha ha ha ha!
05:35
Speaker A
Yeah, you like that huh? You like that? DOES THAT FEEL GOOD?! Uh no. OK, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm -- You know, just do it, go on, just do it.

Speaker A
It's like he knows everything I'm about to do! Like some strange, sophisticated A.I. that can read my every move, and learn from the previous experiences!
06:53
Speaker A
Wink-Wink! I've got to think outside the box here. [gasp] That's it! Box! TASTE MY PAIN!!
07:00
Speaker A
[Neighbor groaning] What the? [Neighbor groaning] Have I found the neighbor's weakness? Is he allergic to cardboard!?
07:06
Speaker A
Well, that didn't last long, did it? [Gasp] Come on! Think think think! There we go, thinking! His mind, psychologically speaking!
07:14
Speaker A
I just bully the balls out of him, until he wants to kill himself! Hmm... What can I make fun of him for?..
07:19
Speaker A
He's got a weird chin... He looks like a pedophile version of Buzz Lightyear... [Laughs] That's pretty funny. Let's write it down.
07:27
Speaker A
"U are A BuzZ Lightyear PEEDAPHILE 💗 Your neighbor" "P.S. Go BAcK 2 ANDY'S Room U Prikk!!!" This is perfect.
07:36
Speaker A
EGH! There we go! That's it... Read the mean letter... What the? He's actually crying...
07:42
Speaker A
Is he a snowflake? Is my banter really that strong? Now he's corner crying! This is it, this is my chance!
07:47
Speaker A
["Get Out" By DAGames continues instrumental] I'm in! I'M FINALLY IN! What the- Is this?..
08:02
Speaker A
Andy's Room from Toy Story? Hello neighbor! [gasp] STAY BACK! I don't know karate, but I'll call you names!
08:09
Speaker A
I think you've already done enough of that. So are we gonna talk this out or what?
08:13
Speaker A
Sure, here, have some tea and biscuits. Pretty good. So who are you? What is this?
08:19
Speaker A
And why did you keep molesting me every two minutes?! I apologize for the manhandling, especially since I had just cleaned my toilet...
08:26
Speaker A
With no gloves on... Really glad you told me that... This is a replica of Andy's Room from Toy Story.
08:32
Speaker A
What, do you have a Toy Story fetish or something? Pretty much. I used to have a roommate...
08:38
Speaker A
And "He" was my Woody... Don't... really like where this is going to be, to be honest.
08:41
Speaker A
But I had to get rid of my Woody. Why? He told me he wasn't a fan of Toy Story 3. Can you believe the ignorance?!
08:49
Speaker A
Had to get rid of him. So what about the invisible walls? And the fact that you kept grabbing me!
08:54
Speaker A
And the whole Groundhog sequel stuff?! As for the walls, they're just glass...
09:00
Speaker A
I wanted to keep you in here. As for the Groundhog Day... It was actually a day after every time.
09:07
Speaker A
After I knocked you out, I would feed you so you wouldn't die.. You've technically been here for like a month.
09:13
Speaker A
Yeah, but I've got no beard, I woke up feeling refreshed every time. I used to shower you too and shave you.
09:18
Speaker A
Why would you do that?! To give you the allusion that it's Groundhog Day... You see, I've been secretly recording all of this. I wanna make a movie.
09:26
Speaker A
Groundhog: The Sequel-Dequel. I wanted to get revenge on my "Ex" Woody... for disrespecting the Toy Story.
09:33
Speaker A
And now you know my plan... Any questions? I just have um... a small... thing to say...
09:41
Speaker A
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?! What is wrong with you, you mean? A lot now!
09:46
Speaker A
This will take years of therapy to get over! Well maybe you shouldn't have disrespected me.
09:51
Speaker A
What do you mean? You are my ex-Woody.. ... You seem to have forgotten all about it..
09:57
Speaker A
But you love Toy Story as much as me. What? At no amount of therapy, And blocking out the memories can erase that fact: You...
10:06
Speaker A
Are... Woody!! Ugh... No...No... NO! And now I have footage for my movie. You're gonna wear this hat, and you're gonna stay here for all eternity.
10:18
Speaker A
GET AWAY FROM ME! Come here! Peek-A-Boo! - AHH! [panting] Gah! Not again! Hahaha! Agh! Boxes! Buzz Lightyear's worst enemy!
10:33
Speaker A
Well have some more of them! Ouch! Why can't you accept your fate as my Woody?!
10:38
Speaker A
You made me upset when you call me a pedophile! That's what you called me last time you stormed out, I WAS UPSET!!!
10:46
Speaker A
Yeah, well you know what pedophile Buzz Lightyear? I still don't like Toy Story 3.
10:51
Speaker A
UGHH! How dare yo- [gunshot] Ugh! -Player Kicks Neighbor- Uh... Ugh... *Dead* [Sigh] I'm not gonna make it...
11:03
Speaker A
I'm losing- losing too much blood... At least we solved.. what was behind that door...
11:10
Speaker A
I guess this is it... Goodbye... Neighbor... Bleehhh... (gasp) Ugh, YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING?!
