The video starts in the uploader's dining room with a night vision filter, with a [[wikipedia:Dell|Dell]] computer present on the left, as an episode of ''[[wikipedia:Sesame Street|Sesame Street]]'' plays softly in the background, discussing ''[[wikipedia:Numberblocks|Numberblocks]]''. After around 30 seconds of this shot, the computer starts moving on its own, and then a cutout of ''Buck Dancer'' (the alter-ego of ''[[wikipedia:Larry David|Larry David]]'') from ''[[wikipedia:Curb Your Enthusiasm|Curb Your Enthusiasm]]'' on two popsicle sticks appears right in front of the computer and jumps directly into the camera with a distorted version of the scream from [[Ghost Caught on Tape]].

It took a few attempts to get this scene right. Discover wanted to make sure the computer was as close to the table and as far off the edge as possible to ensure his hand was not shown in the video, ruining the twist.
