2, they managed to wring a sci-fi story out of "stupid video about singing heads in toilets."

It's unironically one of my favorite examples of "show don't tell" storytelling.

I keep thinking of Abe Simpson's line about "I used to be with it, then they changed what it was." It's not weird and scary yet, but there's a "huh, that's different" factor.
