(screaming)
(laughing)
- What's up, I'm Zack,
and today I'm gonna be dunking on Brenden all day.
- That's not gonna happen.
(dramatic music)
(laughing)
I think it's gonna be a lot of that.
- All right, okay, that's one.
(upbeat music)
- In basketball, there's no greater shame
than just getting thoroughly posterized.
Just getting ground to dust by a highlight reel dunk.
(rumbling)
- This is big!
I obviously would never really be able
to dunk on anyone, ever.
This is kind of a dream come true.
That's, I'll get it.
- Challenge Accepted? - Oh yeah, challenge accepted.
- Bye.
(laughing)
(ominous music)
- This is gonna be harder than I
originally thought it was.
What Brenden doesn't know
is that I've asked other people around the office
to help me out today.
It is officially on.
- I trust no one.
- I'll be seeing you.
- All right, yeah you will.
- Yeah, watch the.
- [Brenden] Can I trust you?
- I would never lie to you.
- Okay. - I'm on your side.
- [Brenden] All right.
Merle, are you gonna try to dunk on me today?
(ominous music)
- Brendan has no idea that you are involved in this at all.
I am going to text him, "Meet me in the canteen."
- They just told me to come to the canteen for lunch.
I don't think it's for lunch.
- He will immediately be alerted that something's going on.
So I'm gonna try to hide by like
the lobby doors before the canteen.
So that I can try to like
dunk on him right there.
(ominous music)
If I get it, then that's great.
(playful music)
(laughing)
- I don't think so.
- But if I miss it.
(grunting)
(laughing)
Then I'm gonna have us all be like,
Aw man, it didn't work.
(grunting)
All right, the plan didn't work.
Say like, "All right, let's just cut everything."
That's good on you.
- This one's over? - Dammit!
But we'll keep everything rolling.
Let's do post thoughts.
And then we actually will come to the canteen,
where you will be.
Whenever you see the right moment.
- Okay. - You just dunk on him.
- Okay.
- [Director] And, action.
- So tell me what you, or tell them I guess, what you saw.
- Yeah. - I guess I should say,
I failed the first dunk attempt.
- Yeah.
- And--
(laughing)
Aw, that was close.
- [Brenden] It's not gonna be that easy, dude.
Now I feel betrayed.
(ominous tone)
- What moment did you know that there was,
it was a two-part dunk.
- Well, it was actually a few.
So one--
(ominous tone)
(laughing)
(jazzy music)
(laughing)
- That was closer.
That was closer.
- Dallen doesn't have a basketball.
All right, everyone be safe.
Just kidding, just kidding.
(grunting) (buzzing)
You win round one.
(laughing)
All right, and we're done.
(laughing)
Thank you everybody.
(laughing)
I thought that was a lock.
We need to get him to leave his desk and go in the lobby.
When you think the time is right.
- Yeah man.
- You go for it.
Oh, and don't hurt him.
- Okay.
- Should I, like, go around and pretend to be sneaky?
Hope I'm not too sneaky!
(ominous music)
(thumping)
- Merle!
- Sorry, I'm sorry.
I had to, I had to.
- Merle!
She whispered, "Zack is coming."
I had it.
Merle, I'd like to speak with you, can we please chat?
- I'm a little curious what there is to talk about.
- [Zack] What the hell was that?
- I panicked.
I'm sorry, but also, I have to sit next to him every day.
- [Zack] I have a big plan.
- He's looking at us right now.
It looks like he wants to (beep) kill me.
- [Zack] See, here's the thing.
- [Merle] He's literally threatening me.
(ominous music)
- [Zack] Where you going?
- Nowhere. - No.
(bleep) Nope.
(laughing)
Wait.
We can talk.
- Can we, yeah?
- [Zack] We can just be chill.
- Why don't you put the ball down, then we'll talk.
(ominous music)
No, sorry.
(buzzing) (laughing)
- You missed your cue.
- Wait, what?
- You missed your cue.
When you think the time is right.
- Yeah man.
- You go for it.
- Yeah? - We can just be chill.
- Why don't you put the ball down, then we'll talk?
(techno music)
Wait, hold up, the deal was.
(laughing)
Hold up, hold up, one second.
(grunting)
(laughing)
- [Zack] We're a team.
(laughing)
Let's run the play.
- It's two people at once!
(techno music) (laughing)
- Played that for you.
(laughing)
- That's on me.
Oh!
(laughing)
- That doesn't count.
- [Director] The hoop got destroyed.
- If anybody was curious as to whether or not
full effort was being given in this challenge.
- Yeah.
- I feel like that's been answered.
- I'm gonna fix this. - Okay.
- Give it back to you. - Uh huh.
- And I get one more-- - Okay, deal.
- Big go at it.
- Okay. - And that's on you, Merle.
(ominous sound)
- All right, okay.
(laughing)
It was clear to me that I wasn't gonna be
able to dunk on Brenden.
So I decided to invite the whole company to give it a try.
I have a lot of friends at Buzzfeed,
so I would expect a good turnout.
- Zack has decided he can make up whatever rules he wants.
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna hand this to Zack.
If he wants to dunk on me,
he's gonna have to find me, so bye.
(techno music)
- Should we see if there are any people?
Let me just poke my head out.
Okay, no one showed up.
Okay, well, no one showed up.
Good turn out.
A manhunt, that's what it's come to.
(techno music)
I'm gonna call him.
(phone ringing)
Hey dude, it's me.
Wondering where you are.
We gotta finish this, we gotta finish this video, so.
You seen a guy with a basketball hoop on his head?
- Nope. - So I gotta at least try
one more time.
(techno music)
Okay, talk soon.
Sorry, I'm looking for Brenden Dahl?
(dramatic music) (laughing)
I literally. (laughing)
You asked for this. - I did.
- That's a foul.
- When does this end?
This just ends with 30 people dunking on me at once.
- I'm going to send a shot in the dark to Megan Boykoff.
(laughing)
- I'm winning this (bleep) challenge.
(laughing)
(jubilant music)
This is it, huh?
You and Jack?
- Me and Jack 'cause that's all I could find.
Sorry.
There you go.
- Well, not all at once, come the (beep) on.
- Ah hah!
(laughing)
There has to be an end time for this.
- This is it.
- Everybody gets their final tries?
- Gets their final try.
(upbeat music)
(laughing)
- Corner him!
(laughing)
- Ow.
(buzzing)
What was that?
Where you going?
You got a little ball in your jacket?
Or does the jacket always have a big lump in the back?
(whooshing)
- Jack.
(victorious music)
(laughing)
(screaming)
- This is it!
This is the last shot.
- [Brenden] Andrew, what did I do to you, man?
What did I ever do to you?
- I'm just committed.
(laughing) (buzzing)
(victorious music)
- Go ahead.
He panicked and threw it at my nipple.
You know what, it's been four hours of this (beep).
(buzzing)
- [Director] Hey, that net's done.
(buzzing)
- Blah!
(laughing)
(grunting)
- At this point, he's earned it.
Look at this chaos going on here.
One dunk for everyone, that's it.
- This is what you said 20 minutes ago.
(dramatic music)
(buzzing)
- [Zack] Did he make it?
Andrew, I thought you dunked on him?
- Did it go in?
- I thought it went in.
We're gonna look at the playback.
And that's it.
No, that's it.
Like take the hoop off.
It's over.
- I'm done.
- [Andrew] Hey, hey, you're a great sport.
You're a great sport.
- You know what?
I have issues with you now.
(laughing)
- [Zack] So excited.
Oh no, I'm blocking it.
Oh get out of the way, Zack!
(cheering)
It's inconclusive!
- It's done. - It's inconclusive.
- It's not a dunk, it's over.
- It's inconclusive.
- That was not proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
- Inconclusive.
I got in the way.
- Even if it's inconclusive, the challenge of the video
was for you to dunk on me,
which there is no proof or evidence that that happened.
Sorry.
(buzzing)
- Yeah. - I think we have to admit
that I won the challenge.
(upbeat music)
I think we have to admit that I won the challenge.
- I, you did win that challenge.
- Great, okay.
- You won that challenge.
(upbeat music)
