- ―Description
Psycho Dad Destroys Xbox (originally titled Dad Destroys Xbox) is the pilot episode of the Psycho Series, uploaded onto the McJuggerNuggets YouTube channel on December 22, 2012.
Synopsis
Heading home, an angry and psychotic father burns and destroys his son's Xbox.
Plot
The video opens with Jeffrey Ridgway Jr. stating that his little brother, Jesse, is playing his Xbox 360 on the living room TV, which is owned by their father, Jeffrey Ridgway Sr. Jeffrey Jr. announces that he received a text from his father, saying that he will arrive home shortly. He then records Jesse playing on his father's TV until their father pulls into the driveway. Unaware, Jesse continues to play Skyrim. Eventually, Jeffrey Sr. comes inside and catches Jesse playing on his TV and, without hesitation, places Jesse's Xbox 360 into the fireplace. It starts to burn, but fortunately for Jesse, he is able to quickly recover it with minimal harm. But then, Jeffrey Sr. takes it outside and tosses it into the air, and it is destroyed on impact with the road, leaving it in pieces.
After a short argument with his father, Jesse realizes that Jeffrey Jr. is recording and orders him to stop. However, Jeffrey Jr. refuses to do so and instead watches Jesse sob outside.
Aftermath
Jesse soon found out that the video was uploaded on YouTube, and threatened to tell Jeffrey Sr. about it. After dealing with these threats for a while, Jeffrey Jr. finally made a plan to get revenge on Jesse on his birthday. Jesse did eventually show Jeffrey Sr. the video in Psycho Dad Axes Laptop, to his detriment however.
