[ID: The video takes place in an office and begins with Brian Murphy, a white man with glasses and a bit of a baby face, saying, "Dude, you killed it in that pitch meeting, that was awesome. I hope you make your parody The Thong Song." He high-fives Owen Parsons, a white dude with a close-shaved beard and mustache, who's sitting at a computer. Owen replies humbly, "Hey, thanks man. Ya know, I figured thong rhymes with bong, so, y'know, I don't know. It's stupid, whatever."
"Oh, it's not. Owen, you're really good," Brian reassures him smilingly. "Like, you could run this company if anything ever happened to Sam." The camera moves to Sam Reich, owner of College Humor, who is speaking to another employee and holds their face in his hands, then back to Owen and Brian.
Owen says, "Yeah, I mean, but Sam's the boss." He laughs, a little awkwardly, and Brian agrees amiably, "Right, right, yeah," before asking lightly, "Should he be?"
Owen's grin falls into a look of concentration as Brian continues, growing in intensity: "I mean, Sam's good, but he's soft. These writers need a kick in the ass, and from where I'm standing, you're wearing the right boots. This company needs new blood. Your blood. But first you must spill Sam's blood." As he talks, Owen seems to be seriously considering it, and by the end of his monologue, Brian is whispering and is face to face with Owen.
The moment snaps, however, when Owen declares, "You're Lady MacBething me!" and Brian laughs. Owen gets up from his chair, saying, "You're so Lady MacBething me! Oh my god!" Brian talks along with him, exclaiming delightedly, "You got me! You got me!"
"That was good though, that was good, that was good," Owen tells him, before shifting to the same intensity Brian held before and saying, "That was damn good." "Really? You think so?" Brian asks, a little flattered, and Owen nods along, telling him, "Yeah, you're a fine actor, Murph. You've got real range; weird that Sam would keep casting you as a shouting idiot when you're so good at whispering." Brian has seemed flattered and considering as Owen talks, and when Owen shifts to a whisper on the last few words, Brian whispers back, "I know, right?"
"Ya know, Murph, this world is full of people like Sam," Owen says, putting his arm over Brian's shoulder and looking over at Sam. Sam now has the employee in a headlock. Owen elaborates, "People that break you down and try to put their boot on your neck. But there's also plenty of opportunities for a man like you." He taps Brian's chest for emphasis. "A man who does what needs to be done." A small dagger clatters to the floor and Owen looks down at it in false surprise, before saying, "Oops," and looking intensely at Brian.
Brian stares at the dagger for a tense moment before bursting out from under Owen's arm and exclaiming, "You cannot Lady MacBeth the Lady MacBether!" Owen laughs, putting up his arms and "Ohhh"ing as Brian gestures at him, grinning and telling him, "You cannot! No!" "I almost had you, though, I almost had you," Owen says, pointing at Brian, who agrees, "You did, you did." Owen asks, "Was the dagger too much?" Brian tells him, "It was a little bit too much, it was a little bit too much," holding his fingers close together to illustrate, and Owen echoes regretfully, "It was a little bit too much."
"Oh my god, that was very quick, though," Owen comments, before leaning in and echoing intensely, "That was very quick, the way you caught on to me like that." "I mean it wasn't easy," Brian says, then switches to the same intensity as Owen with, "You were very convincing." Owen, still intense, tells him, "Well, some would say my plan was almost Murph-esque in its genius." "Too bad Sam wouldn't see it that way," Brian tells him. They're both now very close and making prolonged eye contact. "Sam, of course, being the cause of all your problems," Owen says, and Brian returns, "Problems that need to be solved." "Solved with murder," Owen agrees, nodding a little, and then Brian grabs his head and kisses him.
Owen shoves him off and asks, "Dude, what? What? What are you doing?" Brian frantically defends, "I was Lady MacBething you! I was Lady MacBething you!" "No, we were Lady MacBething each other, then you kissed me!" Owen protests, and Brian throws his hands up in the air and says, "Oh, Lady MacBeth kisses Mr. MacBeth all the time! They're married; they have a great marriage!"
"Oh, yeah," Owen says. "Yeah, right," Brian agrees, and Owen comments, "Taps that pretty hard in act three. That's true." They nod at each other for a moment, before both lunging to make out with each other. It only lasts a second before Owen reels back, yelling, and there's a sound of a blood splatter as Owen looks in horror at the dagger plunged in his shoulder.
"Oh! Yeah!" Brian cheers, having just stabbed Owen. "You stabbed me!" Owen yells at him, and Brian yells back, "You just got Lady MacBethed, son!" "This doesn't happen in the play!" Owen tells him, sounding near tears. Brian yells, "I've never read Mr. MacBeth!" and the video ends. /end ID]
