In late September 2014, Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox are best friends and live in a small house, with Ian's parents. Anthony has a dead-end job as a pizza delivery man and Ian is a stay at home YouTube-stalking manchild. After returning from the Game Bang game center, in which they were bullied by some street kids due to Anthony's pizza car, they find a video of Anthony reciting the ''Magic Pocket Slave Monsters'' theme (an obvious parody of the list of Pokémon theme songs#Pokémon (English) and a reference to Smosh's deleted video) at their high school graduation. In the video, Anthony attempts to impress his crush, Anna Reed (Nelson), by trying to do a backflip, but he fails, landing on his face, and resulting in the microphone going in his buttocks. They both decide to pull down the video before it blows Anthony's chances of reconnecting with his crush.
