Recap / Greatest Freakout Ever 19

Go To

Stephen has gotten rung up for three speeding tickets in six months, and his parents revoke his driving privileges and threaten to confiscate his car keys. Stephen throws a tantrum in his room, tossing furniture around and ripping decorations down, then steals Jennifer's scooter and rides off with it for a few hundred feet before crashing it.

Tropes

  • Agitated Item Stomping: After crashing Jennifer's scooter, Stephen starts stomping on it.
  • Drives Like Crazy: Apparently Stephen does, as he racks up three speeding tickets in a six month span.
  • No, You: David tells Stephen that he can't drive his car anymore and he'll have to ride the bus. Stephen screams that everyone who rides the bus is nasty, and David comes back with "YOU'RE nasty".
  • The Remake: You could call this one a soft remake of the first Greatest Freakout Ever video, shot in higher quality and showing far more of the situation before and after the tantrum. We get to see the yelling match between Stephen and his parents beforehand, and we get to see Stephen's attempts to rectify the situation afterwards, but the core of the video is still Jack hiding his camera in Stephen's room to record Stephen throwing a massive tantrum about getting punished for doing something stupid. The camera is even placed at the exact same angle.
  • Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Stephen steals his mom's electric scooter, figuring that his parents took away his car but didn't tell him he couldn't take a different vehicle. But he has no practice riding the scooter, and crashes it after a couple hundred feet.
