The interview

the interview


"the interview" is a short video skit that was posted on the Slimecicle channel on January 31 2020. It has amassed a viewcount of 2 million as of June 2021, despite being only 0:40 seconds long. The video seems to depict a typical interview between two characters, though it is unsure who the interviewer is. The camera cuts between both characters throughout the video, and more mindfuckery is induced as it goes on.

In-Depth Analysis
The video takes place in a totally real high-rise office, with two characters, both played by Slimecicle, engaging in an interview. Slimecicle 1 dawns a pink checkered dress shirt, while Slimecicle 2 wears a more casual black t-shirt. Slimecicle 1 assumes that Slimecicle 2 is here for "the job", however the latter turns it around on him with a swift refusal, to which Slimecicle 1 could only agree to. Slimecicle 2 starts quizzing Slimecicle 1 on a variety of questions, which is rather confusing as one could only assume that Slimecicle 1 was initially the interviewer. A fan interpretation is that Slimecicle 2 had simply gaslighted Slimecicle 1 into believing that he was the one applying for "the job", but that remains speculation.

Slimecicle 1 then goes on a tangent about his belief in astrology, and it is in this instance in which Slimecicle 2 first displays his telepathic abilities. Slimecicle 2 is able to correctly guess that Slimecicle 1 is a Leo, which leaves the latter in shambles. Slimecicle 2 stares blankly into Slimecicle 1's soul, as an uncomfortable silence is shared between them. Slimecicle 1 eventually gathers the courage to question Slimecicle 2 on his eldritch abilities, to which he simply replies "I'm asking the questions here" as a display of dominance.

Slimecicle 1 swiftly recovers from this exchange, and in an attempt to recuperate with Slimecicle 2, offers him a banana. Slimecicle 2 once again refuses his offer. Slimecicle 1 shrugs it off and begins eating his banana. In a horrid turn of events, the camera cuts over to Slimecicle 2 munching on the very same banana. This seems to be another display of Slimecicle 2's eldritch abilities, and is a clear indicator that he is simply above the mortal plane. Slimecicle 1 is understandingly shocked about this, however all is good as he still possesses his own banana. Perhaps Slimecicle 2 had somehow duplicated the ripe fruit into his own hands? Nothing seems to be too unbelievable for his astounding power. Slimecicle 1 attempts to ask Slimecicle 2 about his powers again, but Slimecicle 2 feigns ignorance as he chows down on the banana. The camera cuts back over to Slimecicle 1, and we find out that his banana has been removed from his grasp, presumably by Slimecicle 2.

Slimecicle 2 proceeds to carry out an armed robbery, the assumed motive for his previous actions. He starts chanting a spell, quote "wibbly wobbly we are one, this banana I have is now a gun." end quote. This spell turns the banana in his hand into a high-tech Nerf™ Gun. Is there a limit to what this MONSTER can do? Slimecicle 1 yields, and puts his hands in the air. Slimecicle 2 demands Slimecicle 1 his wallet, and Slimecicle 1 tosses it over to him in defeat. This exchange happens accompanied with awkward nervous laughter from the both of them, though Slimecicle 2's laughter seems to be a mockery of Slimecicle 1's genuine one.

Slimecicle 1 lightens up after this, and proceeds to show signs of self awareness, questioning the direction in which the video he is in is going. Slimecicle 2, however, seems to still be keen on robbing Slimecicle 2. Upon closer inspection in this scene, one can observe a repeat of previous events. Slimecicle 2's gun is no longer in his hands, in a similar way to which Slimecicle 1's banana was taken away earlier. What follows is a shocking plot twist. The camera cuts back over to Slimecicle 1, who now possesses Slimecicle 2's Nerf™ gun. Could it be that he is capable of the same other-worldly powers? Slimecicle 1 turns the whole situation around on Slimecicle 2, reloading the Nerf™ gun and shooting him point-blank in the head. The video then promptly ends with a shot of Slimecicle 2 collapsing after being brutally murdered.
