- What would you do if you could alter
the very fabric of reality
by typing a few simple words into a laptop?
Today we're gonna follow 16 ordinary people
who have been given access to such a device.
How, why, I don't know.
Will they use this immense power to become wealthy,
to become invisible, or just to have a little fun?
Let's watch.
- It's obvious what I'm gonna do, rewind.
To go back to those nostalgic days of high school.
Whoa, I'm back in 2003.
Yes, I'm old, okay?
I can't wait to relive my glory days
in high school over and over.
(bell ringing) Wow, this is amazing.
- Shouldn't you be in class right now?
- Oh right, exactly, yeah.
But I don't remember what class I have this period
or what period it is, or what day it is.
- Oh, you think that's funny?
Well, you know what else is funny?
Me writing you a detention right now.
- What, I've never gotten a detention before.
No, I'm not gonna get into college now.
Oh, maybe memories should live in the past for a reason.
(crying) I hate high school.
- There's only one responsible decision to make
when it comes to this, big head mode.
Everyone in the whole world is gonna have
big old Jimmy Neutron heads.
Many would ask why, why give everyone a big old head?
I ask, why not?
I think we can all agree, this is awesome.
I think we should go outside
and see how ridiculous this looks on everyone else.
I am not gonna be able to fit through that door.
Oh, ow, this hurts.
Oh, I'm gonna need some butter
or something to grease this thing up.
Oh, this hurts, ow.
I always knew the power would go right to my head.
- I'll be using a command to change my physical surrounding.
First stop, I'm taking this thing to work.
Okay, let's try this thing out.
I like that, much better.
Let's see what other options we got.
Yes, this is what I'm talking about.
- I don't know why we're on a beach
dressed like this all of a sudden,
but you gotta complete these reports.
- Well, at least this thing has a 99.9 watt hour
large capacity battery 'cause I'm nowhere near an outlet.
(crickets chirping)
- I am activating the free camera.
In other words, my mind's eye will be able
to remotely view anywhere on Earth
without me leaving my house.
This is clearly gonna be a game changer.
I'm gonna use it tonight so I can lie in bed
and watch TV in the other room at the same time.
'Cause it's just so uncomfortable to try to watch TV
while you're lying in bed.
You got like your neck propped up behind the pillows.
It's not fun.
- Personally, I'm gonna choose invincibility.
Let's see, it's I-N-V-I-N-C-A-B-L.
I mean, check this out.
I'm going across the freaking Grand Canyon on a motorcycle.
Oh, oh no, I'm not gonna make it.
Oh, I'm hitting the side.
Oh, ow, oh, actually, I don't feel anything
'cause I'm invincible. (motorcycle exploding)
Ooh, not a big deal folks, I am invincible.
- Hey, nice jump, loser. (laughing)
- Unfortunately, my feelings can still be hurt,
which might be the worst pain of all.
- Being the career orientated person that I am,
I am going to type in complete current quest.
Ah yes, from entry level drone to CEO in one day.
Not too shabby, intern, I have a pdf
I need you to open on my laptop
because I have forgotten how to do that.
Now, let's see, where am I gonna play golf on Sunday?
Wait, what did you do?
No, you moron, you just reversed it.
You typed in start quest over.
- Well, that's not a very nice way to talk to your boss.
Now if you'll please get out of my office
and get back to work.
Oh, and thanks for the laptop. (laughing)
I love how it has complete in and out ports to support
all kinds of data transmission and display output.
(ENTJ grunting) - I've got a big
first date tonight so I'm gonna use this
to turn off my emotions
because I can not keep falling in love
on the first date again.
Let us go to the date now.
- So tell me a little bit about yourself.
Like, what are your big dreams?
- Dreams are for sleeping.
I am simply a combination of cells
created through random chance.
No more significant than a grain of sand.
- Your dating profile said you love to laugh.
- Laughter is an involuntary response to surprising stimuli
but it's a momentary escape
from our curse of knowing our own mortality.
- Okay, hey, do you wanna split some mozzarella sticks?
- Yes, food sharing is an indicator
of the level of intimacy within a relationship.
- You know, actually, I think someone's calling me.
I'll be right back.
Well, at least I don't have to worry
about falling in love on the first date.
- Toggle NPC intelligence.
This will temporarily turn off people's brains.
That way they won't try to interact with me
when I'm out running errands.
Now I'm just gonna leave cash for these shoes
by the cash register so it's not stealing and be on my way.
Now I'll toggle NPC intelligence back on.
- [Employee] Shoplifter, Jimmy, stop that guy!
- Crap, I did not think about that.
- Let's see, increase carry weight.
This will allow me to carry
an unlimited amount of items on my person,
therefore making me prepared for literally any situation.
Like, oh, look at that doofus on the beach.
He does not seem to have the adequate provisions
and supplies that he needs to be here at this time.
Just let me check out what I got in my pockets.
Oh yeah, there we go, there's that.
And somewhere in this pocket, there's that.
And boom, see, I told you, do not doubt me.
And no beach trip would be complete
without a refreshing margarita.
Hello, my good man.
I would like one margarita, please.
- Sure, let me see some ID please.
- Sure thing, I've got it somewhere in my pockets.
That's not it, all right.
Maybe it's in this pocket.
You never know.
Oh, I think I got it.
Oh no, but I think it's time.
Oh, you might be able to use these around here.
Oh, well I can tell this is not it,
but this thing is is pretty fun, right?
I mean like, yeah. (grunting)
Thought I'd serenade some babes on the beach later,
you know what I'm saying? (guitar strumming)
I'll just have a Diet Coke.
- Add all skills.
Now I can do literally anything at an expert level.
- Is there anyone here who can do CPR
for this guy on the floor?
- I do. - My hero.
- Man, that guy just did CPR on me.
- Does anyone here know how to land a plane?
- I got you, fam. - My man.
- Jethro, sit, ugh, my dog just won't listen.
- Jethro, sit, stay. - Wow.
- Can someone help this mime with his performance?
- Yay. - Wow, yay.
- I'm gonna use this power to make everyone nice
'cause I'm sick and tired of dealing with butt heads.
Boom. - Well, how are you
on this beautiful day?
- Great, I'm just here to renew my driver's license.
- Oh my, well that's just wonderful.
Well, it looks like you have all the paperwork
we told you to bring in and your old ID,
so in that case, the wait will only be about two hours.
- Two hours?
- Isn't that wonderful?
You get time to get to know all your line neighbors.
That's what I call people who wait behind you in line
'cause they're like your neighbors, but they're in a line.
- Howdy, line neighbor.
- Don't talk to me.
- Now, who would act that rude in the DMV?
- I'll take limitless energy, please.
Now I got no reason to feel spread thin
with all my responsibilities.
Hello, hello, hi, howdy.
Oh, hi there, Jill, I went ahead and fixed the printer
and finished all the paperwork for the next month
and I broke the sales record.
Oh and I walked your dog and I gave him a bath
and I got you this scarf, too, see ya.
Wow, this is amazing but it makes me wonder
what would happen if I ever turned off
this limitless energy.
Uh, probably best to never find out.
Let's just keep it on forever.
Oh, look a baby bird I can respect and help.
- Well, well, well, with this bad boy here,
I can change facts and statistics whenever I need to.
Now I'll never lose an argument.
- You are so wrong, the capital of Canada is not Funky Town.
- It is, dude, look it up.
- I'm calling BS on this one, I'm looking this up.
The capital of Canada is Funky Town, what?
- Told ya. - Well, in light of that,
maybe you were right earlier
when you were trying to convince me
that we could get hurricanes here
in this landlocked state of Nebraska.
- Oh, believe me, I know I'm right.
- What are you doing?
- Nothing. - Wow, the weather
got really bad really fast.
- Crap, is that a hurricane?
- These are hurricane strength winds.
- Oh fudge, I did not think this through.
- I'm getting blown away.
- Oh, but it's worth it being right.
- I'm setting my speech level to 100.
Now I'll be the most charming, persuasive person
in the world, take that Paul Rudd.
I know this Taylor Swift concert is sold out
but I was hoping maybe you could find a way
to slip me in there, preferably in a section
where there aren't any people.
- Sure, come on, I'll take you backstage VIP.
- Sounds good.
Hi, Taylor Swift.
- I'm Taylor Swift.
- Break a leg out there.
- Okay, I will.
(glass shattering) My leg!
- No, I didn't mean that literally.
- [Taylor] I don't think I can shake this off.
- I'm really gonna have to talk my way out of this one.
- Now I have the ability to selectively erase
people's memories of all the embarrassing things
I've ever done.
Maybe after this, I'll finally be able to sleep at night.
Oh, hey there, Brian.
- Who are you?
- It's me, your best friend.
- Sure, that's right.
- Hey Jenny.
What is happening?
Hey PJ. - Is this a scam?
How do you know my name, stop scamming me!
- Oh no, I now realize I'm embarrassed
of everything I've ever done.
No one remembers me anymore.
Eh, things could be worse.
- I'm gonna use this thing as a pause button.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity
to interview for this job.
- Sure. - Okay, I've gotta
recover from this, what should I do?
I should compliment something that he's wearing.
His tie, that looks great, boom, good idea.
I love that tie, by the way.
- Thank you.
Yeah, one concern I have is that you have
a two year gap in your resume.
- The truth is, I was having an existential crisis
and just didn't know what to do with my life.
But you can't really say that, now can you?
Okay, maybe I should say I was pursuing continuing education
which is sort of true.
I mean, I read Wikipedia a lot.
And furthermore, I was pursuing continual training
in order to make myself a more desirable candidate.
Okay, I am bombing this.
I need to do something to recover fast.
I need to build rapport with this guy
who clearly is not loving what I'm putting out there.
Oh, I know, I'll ask him a question.
I'll turn the tables a bit.
So what challenges does your company face right now, Steve?
- My name's not Steve.
- It's not? - No.
- And I think I'm just gonna leave that paused
until I am a long, long way away.
