Stephen has been quickly burning through assorted jobs, and has just quit his third one, his parents not finding out until days later. Stephen says he needs the extra time so he can reach a high rank in a video game, so Jennifer kicks him off the computer. Stephen realizes Jack is recording him, and goes into his room and takes his television set. Carrying it outside, Stephen says he's going to throw it across the driveway if Jack doesn't turn the camera off. Jack pretends to turn it off, which doesn't fool Stephen, so he hurls the television, breaking it.
Tropes
- Blatant Lies: Stephen tells Jack to turn the camera off, or he'll toss Jack's TV across the driveway and break it. Jack says it's off, even though he's still pointing it right at Stephen, and tries to claim that he's just holding it. Stephen gives him one more chance, and Jack lowers the camera slightly so it's pointed downward, but it's still very obviously recording, so Stephen hurls the TV.
- The Dog Bites Back: After over a dozen videos where Stephen complains about Jack's camera obsession and makes it clear he doesn't want to be recorded, he finally decides to do something about it, breaking Jack's TV set in retaliation.
- Drama Queen: When Stephen and Jennifer are fighting over the computer, Stephen ends up falling backwards and acts like the fall injured him. Fifteen seconds later he's carrying Jack's tube television set outside to hurl it, injury completely forgotten.
- Exact Words: Stephen was being completely truthful when he told his mom that he didn't need to work at his job for three straight days. He just left out the part where the reason why he didn't need to work is because he quit.
- Never My Fault: Stephen says he keeps quitting his jobs because he hates them and everyone there is mean to him. Given that it's happened three times in rapid succession, a more self-aware person might start to realize that they're the problem, but that's not Stephen.
- Spotting the Thread: Maybe a little too obvious to be considered a 'thread', but Jack's television set looks like it's about as old as Jack, and doesn't look at all like a television you would expect a teenager from an upper-class family to have in 2013. So many people pointed this out, that Jack updated the video description to point out that you can see the television in the background of the first freakout video. Regardless, the most likely explanation is that Jack had a newer, better television and they decided to use the old one as fodder for a video.
