I'm kind of bored right now, so let's make something that can bore us all! We need a plot that starts dull and gets duller as it goes on. I'll start with the setting, a company who's main business is making those stick-on letters (ie, the ones you see on mailboxes and such).

Their dysfunctional brain immediately assumes something's going on and enters a cave for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON.

They remember the name of the forum game and go back to work to see that they have been demoted by their boss.

According to his boss, he didn't sign the right reports to account for the blah blah blah buisness stuff

In a plot twist the cave turns out to be probably the most average cubicle office in the world.

There is also one ceiling tile that is slightly smaller than any of the other ceiling tiles and is black instead of white, which is mildly annoying.

At no point whatsoever does a character change clothes, take them off, or use the bathroom.

He then goes home and opens up a can of Food, helpfully labeled "Food", for his dinner. He then recieves a phone call, but it turns out to be a wrong number. However, then the phone rings AGAIN,,

Nobody Poops: Subverted, actually we get to see our protagonist doing his entire nightly bathroom routine wordlessly and in real time. In 20 minutes the most exciting part is the splash when a single regular sized turd reaches the water in the toilet.

...and it turns out to be his boring neighbour who talks to him about how he just gave his office some new beige wallpaper for two hours. And he has a really annoying nasally voice.

(In reference to his phone call [up][up])

This shot lasts three-minutes, and is overlaid with another shot of a stick-on letter in the shape of a capital Pi (though it's actually just an E with the bottom half cut off). The sound of someone coughing can be heard at 1 minute and 26 seconds in. This is followed by 3 seconds of footage of Robert A. Taft hesitating during a speech.

Then the guy goes to sleep, and has one of those really mundane dreams where you go through a completely ordinary day.

In the dream, the guy is working a desk job at a slightly different office than the one we're shown while he's awake. There is a copy machine in the office. Whenever the copy machine is in frame, a slowed-down, nearly subsonic sample of a bird chirping can be heard. The guy uses the copy machine, and the sound is slightly louder until he's done using it. Exactly 3 minutes after he uses the copy machine, we're shown him waking up.

He goes into the bathroom and brushes his teeth. Top side for a minute, bottom side for a minute, before he spits it out and watches it go down the drain. No mouthwash (because the sound of gargling is mildly entertaining).

Then he enters the kitchen, forgets what he entered the kitchen to do, then stands around for two minutes trying to remember.

As he's standing around, trying to remember, he thinks of a hypothetical scene in his favorite detective show. This is All There in the Script: we're never shown what he's thinking.

He goes back to work to discover that the company has decided to slightly change the font of the sticky letters now.

The dream is not even shown aside from a text prompt. What is actually shown is our protagonist sleeping.

We are then treated to seeing the protagonist sleep for hours...in real time.

And once again his bathroom routine, like before it's in real time.

There's a Cutaway Gag that consists of footage of a potato farm.

While the potato farmer is working the field, we watch his wife in the kitchen stirring a pot, making dinner for the family. This goes on for 15 minutes.
