- ―Description
Psycho Dad Destroys Xbox (known by its initial title Dad Destroys Xbox) is the pilot episode of the Psycho Series, uploaded onto the McJuggerNuggets YouTube channel on December 22, 2012.
Synopsis[]
Heading home, an angry and psychotic father burns and destroys his son's Xbox.
Plot[]
The series pilot begins with Jeffrey stating that his little brother, Jesse, is playing his Xbox 360 in the living room TV, which is owned by their father. Jeffrey alludes that there is a strict policy and nobody can use his television, although Jesse frequently plays video games on it without their father's knowledge. Jeffrey reveals to the audience that he received a text from his father five minutes earlier, saying that he will arrive home in five minutes. He then records Jesse playing on his father's TV; Jesse is oblivious as their father's truck pulls into the driveway, and continues to play Skyrim.
Alerted by the sound of dogs barking, Jesse notices Jeffrey filming, before realizing he is in deep trouble as their father has just come home. Angry, their father comes inside and disconnects the Xbox 360 to throw it into the fireplace, against Jesse's desperate pleading. It starts to burn, but Jesse is able to quickly recover it with minimal harm. Unfortunately, their father then takes the Xbox from the living room, and goes outside to throw it away in the yard. The Xbox is destroyed on impact with the road, leaving it in pieces. Jesse argues with his father, who angrily scolds him before walking back into the house.
Jeffrey continues to record Jesse as he desperately tries to salvage the parts of the broken Xbox, and becomes distraught on the driveway. He catches Jeffrey having caught this all on film, and proceeds to grow angry towards him, before realizing he cannot do anything. Jesse hopelessly picks up the rest of the pieces of his broken Xbox.
Aftermath[]
Jesse eventually discovered that Jeffrey had uploaded this video to YouTube, and began blackmailing him to take it down or he'd expose the knowledge of the video to their father. In retaliation, Jeffrey finally made a plan to get revenge on Jesse on his birthday to send a message that he was not to be trifled with. Jesse did eventually show their father the video, as depicted in Psycho Dad Axes Laptop.
