Transcript

if game developers made cake instead part 4. You guys this cake was good when you first made it but I've been eating the same thing for 10 years. Don't you have anything else? We do actually and we're really excited. Here, give it a try. Oh. You know I I I think I'll stick with the old one and just throw some sprinkles on it or something. I'm good. All right kid. You want the strawberry or the chocolate cake? Uh chocolate. Chocolate huh? I'll remember that. This is empty calories. I should stop. I don't know what I'm doing. Hmm. I hear you. What if I add another tier? Oh, not only is this not good, this is not what I was promised. Oh my god, you're right. I'm so sorry. Here, let me fix it, let me fix it, let me fix it, let me fix it, let me fix it, let me fix it, let me fix it. Oh my god, you've done enough. It's fine. Stop. Oh, your last cake was really good. What happened? You're right. You know what this cake needs? Idris Elba. Yeah, it does.
