Contents of the Video
The video seems to begin like a traditional corporate tape assigned to employees including a short jingle as it begins with text displaying "Ice Cream Fun, The Mascot Cleaning Maintenance Guide". It then describes about the Ice Cream Man being the franchise's beloved mascot but even the sweetiest can get dirty. The tape's footage cuts to a shot of the Ice Cream Man sitting on a bench with the time-stamp of "9:30 PM, February 14th 1986".

The text will come back stating that "IceCream Man's shoes are in need of shining to look his...best". This will prompt the viewer to shine his shoes. In the background, a hand of an unknown person can be seen. However - after shining the shoes - the hand will disappear. It'll compliment the viewer's work before declaring that the Ice Cream Man's hands are filthy. Footage of Ice Cream Man's right hand coated in grime will be shown and - in the background - a pair of glowing can be seen this time.

The text demands the viewer to clean his hand now as the footage of his hand returns covered in blood. Audible banging can be heard in the background but from who/where isn't known.

Surprisingly, the tape disregards this, going back to the cheery atmosphere from the beginning as text displays "IceCream Loves sweets. Open his face plates to clean him". The Ice Cream Man's zoomed in face will appear before text advises the viewer to use his nose to open said face plates. Presumably, when doing so, it'll then state "His Face should be o" which signals the mascot to interrupt the tape by acknowledging he's being recorded (causing him to face the direction of the camera).

The text will still try to help the viewer by presenting "If his face does not open" as - once again - the Ice Cream Man interrupts by twitching violently whilst distorted audio plays. From this instance, the tape loses both the Ice Cream Man and the text, transferring between the gradient and repair room with awkward silence. This is only broken by the camera within the repair room being rotated almost 90° viewing the rest of the darkness in said room as close-by footsteps are heard. Once this noise ceases, the text displays "Uh Oh", triggering the mascot to jumpscare the viewer.

A warning will momentarily flash on-screen with the following: "' Warning! The following contains bright, flashing lights and imagery that may cause discomfort and/or seizures to those with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised.'"At random, The Jester will be gradually zoomed in stood up in utter darkness. The only background noise present is a child crying as the tape ends altogether with brief static.

Trivia

 * Some fans could speculate that Arthur's loss in humanity after what Martin did to him led to his excess aggression within the tape.
 * Judging from the cry heard at the end of the tape, it could Ava Greywhinder.
