[Music] [Music] yes it's still here the same [ __ ] bar i [ __ ] you not yeah okay buddy i'll see you later great [ __ ] job today all the way to the top yeah flying tomorrow i'll see you then all right bye a shot of tequila and a glass your finest whiskey to chase it with we need to celebrate coming right up in fact pour yourself some of the same mighty kinda a little uh early to be drinking no it's never too early to celebrate well you must be happy if you're buying random bartenders drinks i sure am last night i proposed to the hottest woman this side of the atlantic and she said yes and then this morning i sealed the deal of a lifetime express elevator all the way to the top baby up top congratulations thank you man um oh [ __ ] oh i haven't been in here for years i have some great [ __ ] memories of this place in fact ten years ago to the day i made my first deal at that table over there yeah it's really nice feels like a lifetime ago i always wondered if that shotgun was just for show mostly mostly that's a good one should get one of those just make sure this guy doesn't get his hands on it yeah what's this deal anyway he's been here open to close last three days he just sits there doesn't say anything yeah really yeah oh we can't have that this is a day for celebrating hey buddy here get him a [ __ ] tequila have another drink on me there we go to success i understand that you're depressed but if you accept a drink from a man you clink his glass oh oh i'm i'm sorry yeah i'm i'm not really in a celebrating mood i've had a tough couple of months yeah well so did i oh but through hard work and determination i turned it all around well no amount of hard work can turn this around nothing can make it better i bet you it can you don't understand it's all out of my control let's make a deal you tell me your problem if i can fix it you celebrate with me if not the [ __ ] i'll pay for your drinks for a week scout's honor fine but i have two conditions i tell you at your own peril i take zero responsibility you understand intriguing and you buy me the drink first all right a whiskey your turn i came up with a genuinely original idea then i'm the only one who's immune to it well that doesn't sound too bad wait immune yes immune my wife was the first victim hey sorry good morning good morning to you too have you seen my pen my favorite one you know the one that's got the blue and the red and the black and the thing it's not gonna be in the knife drawer you look tired what time did you get to sleep decent time i was asleep and i woke up from this blast of light behind my eyes you know and then it was like a million and one migraines hit me all at the same time for like 10 seconds and then there was like this pressure inside my skull like my like my like my brain was trying to push right through my head and at the end of it i had the most incredible idea well what is it [Music] tell me your idea so i did so help me god i told her [Music] and so that's it that's the idea michelle are you okay michelle it's so simple it's beautiful [ __ ] believe what you want it happened do you believe any of this well i don't believe any of it someone said exploding for no reason would have been on the news or something it was on the news but the cia suppressed it oh the old c.i.a angle yes the old c.i.a angle turns out they actually do it in real life okay i'll bite what happened next the police i phoned them as soon as my brain started working again and they took me down to the precinct they started interrogating me of course at this point they all think i'm a wife killer and i i can't blame them [Music] autopsy report came back looks like what you said was true they couldn't find any evidence of physical force so i can go home it'll be a while before we get a detailed report but in the meantime we need to figure out what's going on here i mean your wife's still dead and you still have her blood all over you well i need you to tell me word for word second by second what happened in that kitchen well i was in shock you know i didn't have time to think it through so come on barry um talk to me barry i told him my idea [Music] i thought this was my darkest moment i'm cuffed to a steel bed crying like a baby my wife is dead my life is ruined [Music] turns out rock bottom was still a ways off i did manage to get some sleep though that is until the c.i.a got involved mr moore this is agent groves cia please tell the woman across from you your idea i'm sorry the woman across from you please tell her your idea the one you told your wife i it's i i don't understand why why why do i have to tell her the idea it's part of the investigation i believe you are innocent of your wife's death to prove it i need you to comply i told her guess what happened after that they kept bringing people in prisoners psychiatrists scientists tell him the idea tell him tell him the idea you will comply if you ever want to get out of here [Music] i'm sorry [Music] how is any of this even possible i don't know how but i got a theory as to why because of your idea no because of my original idea you see every idea that hangs around happens because of other ideas you take two or more you combine them together add a bit of spice trim it down wamo you got a new idea right okay this is different completely original now my theory is human beings can't handle an original idea because they have nothing to compare it against the brain goes into an infinite loop cycle trying to find some place to slot it in and [Music] i end up with bits of brain in my beard that's a crazy story have another drink on me that's very entertaining well i'm glad my messed up life entertains you it would be heartbreaking if any of it were true okay you know what don't even go there what you want to hear the idea well of course i do i mean you can't tell a story like that without peaking interest no this is exactly why i told you i accept zero responsibility for telling you my story okay fine ah let let's just say that i believe all of this how did you get here to this bar there's no way the c.i.a will let you out of their site no they did no they told me don't don't travel don't leave town until we clear you and then they implanted me with a tracking device but a tracking device now i know you're lying like there's no way that they would let something this powerful get out in the open i am many things but i am not a liar i know a bluff when i see it and i don't mind being taken for a ride buddy but you need to be able to deliver something next time you got to tell a story that's a little more believable everything i told you is the truth i mean you are lying i'm just trying to figure out what the scam is there's no scam you asked me what was wrong i said you wouldn't cook up a story like this for a couple of drinks you need to be angling for a bigger payoff likes a couple of dollars towards a new life there is no scam okay look hey look look see this this is the last thing i have of my wife in the entire world i couldn't even go to the funeral you know her family said that they would kill me if they ever saw me again oh so that's your wife now a photo of some random woman is supposed to convince me that all of this is true no that's my wife i am not alive hey hey okay just relax you guys all right okay okay i guess there's only one way to find out you really willing to take that chance you just got engaged go home to your wife enjoy your life i'm feeling lucky today let's hear it unless you want to come clean fine i'll tell you bartender i suggest you plug your ears and have a mop this is gonna get messy ah [ __ ] it i'm feeling lucky too let's hear it [Music] okay well bring the whiskey over i don't wanna have to reach behind the bar after quit stalling this one's on me just in case there you go no more wiggle room [Music] well i tried to warn you here's my idea [Music] it's like nothing i've ever heard before so simple it will change everything everything can be better you're immune oh [ __ ] you're immune oh my god [Music] what the [ __ ] this changes everything okay we need to come up with a plan no [ __ ] it pass me the tequila we need to celebrate okay [Music] and you're immune that must mean other people are immune too okay we need to figure out what makes someone able to handle the idea okay all right i know what we gotta do you know what we gotta do we gotta analyze everything that happened here today come up with a theory we'll tell some people hopefully they survive and then we can spread the idea how can you stand it to have this wonderful idea of being able to share it or the person will die how could you in good conscience tell it to me hey hey hey you're the one who dragged it out of me i will not be called a liar by any you ruined my life because of your ego because i called you a liar you couldn't just take the high road and laugh it off a man is dead because of you yeah well he made his choice just like you did look you're gonna shoot me shoot me but if not i suggest you quit your moaning and help me figure this out [Music] okay now i know it's gonna take you a while to come to grips with this okay but we don't have the luxury of waiting we need to figure this out before the cia finds out about you nope [Music] [Music] [ __ ] [Music] oh [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] um [Music] um [Music] [Applause] uh

It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition and it lies between the pit of a man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area we call the twilight zone.

Like a more dangerous version of that old Monty Python sketch where there's a joke that kills Germans

Reminds me a lot of the funniest joke

That was an amazing short film. Holy shit.

It wasn't the CIA that captured him, but the SCP Foundation. They probably told him they were the CIA, though. And provided the right documentation, I'm sure.

I've always loved this story from them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNBKWdymfLI

[u/ScootyHoofdorp]

This is amazing, though I don't love the ending. There isn't a good explanation for why sleazeball would kill himself.

[u/electricmink]

Reminds me of the Python sketch about the most dangerous joke in the world, only serious.

Also...a very literal "KafkaChekov's Gun".
