Jason Dunn goes about a normal day in his home, almost as if he is on a sitcom. After cracking a few obligatory jokes with his overenthusiastic mother and uncle, Jason tries to express frustration with being overly stressed and overburdened, but is consistently thwarted with interruptions from his family and a persistent laugh track. As the sitcom lights get brighter and the laugh tracks get louder, Jason is forced to put on a happy face for his audience to avoid being seen as dysfunctional until he just can't take it anymore.
