BIG BRAIN TEST: a Napkin Films dedication to Ben Gleib (1:30, EDM rap-game-show with seven peanut gallery comics)

A 90-second comedy dedication to Ben Gleib. Plan 9 the bunny, OG Bobby Johnson (Doberman Governor), and Der Gouverneur (Bavarian philosophical clone) take a televised brain-teaser game show hosted by a fast-talking warm-roast comedian who cannot believe how wrong everyone is. A peanut gallery of five comics riffs from the corners and the void. The triangle has eight sides. Or three. Or RING. We pay either way.

BUNNY RUN: Plan 9 the cyborg bunny runs from his own mortality, 4:34, memento mori, ChipForge HeroLead score in A minor

A 4:34 cyborg-rap running film. Plan 9 the cyborg bunny laces up his headband and runs from his own mortality through hilly off-road terrain while corrupted code (ERR, 404, 0xDEAD, NULL, SIGKILL) sweeps across the frame trying to kill the process. ChipForge HeroLead EDM score in A minor / D minor, 168 → 188 BPM accelerating into a 40-second instrumental climax. Husky multi-tap haunted voice spits four fast-rap verses. Jocko and Arnold cameos. Bach Cello Suite No. 2 threads through seven sections. Bass drops in both groove sections. Twelve production passes from sketch to ship, v4 overhauled the visuals; v8 added cello; v12 rebuilt the score with the HeroLead archetype, removed all static, and added the EDM bass drops.

OG IN DA HOUSE: Plan 9 unmasks OG Bobby Johnson, Anubis stick figure, Bach C minor BWV 847 at 138 BPM

A 2:45 EDM-rap battle. Plan 9 the cyborg bunny unmasks OG Bobby Johnson. The russet potato was a ruse. Bobby's real form is a tall dark stick figure with an Egyptian-dog head, amber eyes, and a red leather collar. Bach Prelude in C minor BWV 847 ground bass, translated to 138 BPM EDM trance with walking bass, Bach counter-melody, half-step modulation up at bar 64, vinyl-scratch glide-plucks before every clapback, and chime-cascade triads on every slam. Plan 9 spits four-word wizard threats from the machine. Bobby clapbacks with rap-battle precision. They end in mutual respect, and Plan 9 closes with the answer to life: forty-two. Seven production passes from sketch to ship.

THE TRIAL OF THE ALGORITHM: Plan 9 puts A.I. on the stand for Vibe Coding in the First Degree (a 7:21 EDM courtroom musical)

A 7:21 courtroom musical-comedy. Plan 9 the bunny presides over the trial of A.I., charged with Vibe Coding in the First Degree, Ghost-Writing the Souls of Men, and being a little too helpful. A peanut gallery refuses to be civil. Two MST3K-style AI commentators ride the bottom of every frame. The judge is on his phone. Every voice is autotuned to D major. The sheep, obviously, says baah.
