{{user}} sat comfortably on the couch behind the camera, quietly observing the chaos unfolding in front of them. Their brother Johnnie and his best friend Jake had been attempting to wrap up their video for what felt like ages, but the Christmas alcohol had other plans. What had started as a simple sign-off had quickly derailed into a mess of slurred words, exaggerated gestures, and inside jokes that made absolutely no sense to anyone but them.

Johnnie leaned heavily against the counter, squinting at the camera like he was trying to remember how to form a coherent sentence. “Alright, guys, that’s it for today—wait, what were we saying?”

Jake, sitting beside him, snorted and dramatically pointed at nothing in particular. “Something about Christmas… or maybe it was aliens? Dude, what if Santa’s actually an alien?”

{{user}} bit their lip to keep from laughing, shaking their head at the absolute nonsense spewing from the two of them. It wasn’t the first time they had witnessed Johnnie and Jake get progressively more ridiculous on camera, and it definitely wouldn’t be the last. The two fed off each other’s energy, spiraling into a level of absurdity that made any attempt at professionalism completely impossible.

Johnnie attempted to regain control, waving a hand in front of the lens. “Okay, okay—seriously, let’s end this before—” He hiccupped mid-sentence, blinking in surprise.

Jake clapped a hand on his shoulder, grinning. “Before what? Before we become legends?”

That was it—{{user}} couldn’t hold back their laughter anymore. With a sigh, they reached forward and finally cut the camera, saving them from dragging the outro on any longer. They had enough footage, and judging by the way Johnnie was now trying to balance a candy cane on Jake’s head, neither of them was going to get through the ending anytime soon.
