Freeze Frame Bonus / Reboot Me

Go To

Due to the medium of the series not allowing for much content and the subject of the series allowing for a lot of Visual Ominous Glitches, Reboot Me has extensive Freeze-Frame Bonuses.Beware of unmarked spoilers!


Reboot Me

  • On the owner's desk at the beginning of the video, you can see a variety of things.
    • There is a sticky note saying "Upload photo project!" and "Get Jenny's for date."
    • Below that, there is a doodle showing a picture of a girl (The owner? the blonde haired girl?) and the initials "A+B" inside a heart.
    • The calendar shows that the year is 2001.
    • There is a honor roll on the owner's wall.
    • There is a picture of her and her dad.
    • There is a camera to the left of the computer.
  • On the desktop, you can see many programs and files. You can see the trashcan program is in the top left of the screen. It's only visible for a split second before being covered by the cmd program.
    • after Ele.OS glitches out and says that there's nothing wrong, a new app appears: Virulent. After it arrives, the rest of the programs slowly start corrupting until the Ele.OS desktop buddy gets corrupted, after which the song ends.
  • there are 4 files: "Portfolio P..." (presumably portfolio pictures),"Phone Pics," "13th Birth..." (Presumably 13th Birthday), and "New Folder."
  • In the photo of the owner's 13th birthday, you can see her name is Ally. You can also see that the date of her 13th birthday is September 18, 1997. If you do the math, you can see that she is 37 in 2021.
  • Her first date was on March 5, 2001.
  • The picture of her mother was on December 12, 1999.
  • Her brother is Flipping the Bird at her. You also can see that the image was taken on December 22, 2001.
  • The photo of her dad was taken on June 9, 2000.
  • Thoughout the song, you can see that battery life lowering.

Reboot Me (Competition edition only)

  • When Ele.OS glitches out and says that there's nothing wrong, you can see VIRI's face for a split second and some binary. when translated, the binary links here.
  • At the end of the video, you can see a lot of things on Ally's desk in the modern day.
    • The song takes place until December 2018, when the original video was released. This can be seen by the calendar on Ally's wall. You can also she is is taking a vacation on said calendar.
    • You can see a pin of Ele.OS on her wall, showing that she didn't completely forget about Ele.
    • There are also two pieces of paper. one reads, "Pay Your BILLS!" and the other reads, "Flight leaves at 8:35 am."
    • There is a piece of paper that says, "2nd place Ringding photography festival"
    • There is a photo of her mom(the same one from the music video itself) and a ribbon.
    • The same photo of her dad from the beginning of the video is knocked over.
    • There is a trophy saying "1st Place - Golden Bay"
    • There is an opened envelope, and to its right there are two pieces of paper.
      • One of them is a letter stating that Ally has gotten a job promotion and must relocate.
      • The other one reads "Storage Unit" and another word I can't read.
    • There is a laptop on the desk with the logo, "afresh."
    • There is a jacket draped over the computer in which Ele.OS resides. It has a similar color to the Blonde haired girl's jacket, possibly implying that the two are still together or at the very least still friends.
    • There is a cactus in a pot. The pot has a heart on it that says, "Sorry."
    • and finally, there is a much more fancy camera to the left of Ele.OS.

  • In the animatic, VIRI briefly transforms back to normal(just with a singular eye),back to Ele.OS(with the same singular eye,) back to her normal form, but with bloodshot eyes and what seem to be tears steaming down her face, then back to Ele.OS.

Endcards (Please Subscribe, Thank You All For Your Supporting, Are Awesome, and Error Error)

  • In Please Subscribe, after VIRI makes her first appearance there is a single frame with one of VIRI's eye symbols and the name "VIRI" written on it.
  • In the next endcard, you see VIRI's background for less than a second while Ele is glitching out.

  • There is a brief picture of Ele with VIRI's face drawn on with red marker(?) captioned, "she is the target."

I want to know
Will you help me, Ally?"
