In a reverberant blue chamber with a narrow metal walkway suspended in air, Paul Rudd sits at a retro computer workstation operating the "Cinco Identity Generator 2.5" - a system that generates dancing digital avatars of himself. The sketch parodies early computer graphics and virtual entertainment systems with absurdist humor as Rudd requests increasingly bizarre commands from his computer with complete deadpan seriousness. He begins by loading up "Celery Man" - a silver-suited dancing version of himself. After "kicking up the 4d3d3d3" protocol to enhance the experience, he adds more sequences including "Oyster" (a streetwear-clad punk version) for which he requests "a printout of Oyster smiling." The computer then introduces "Tayne," Rudd's latest dancer, to which he enthusiastically responds "Now Tayne I can get into!" He proceeds to request a "hat wobble" and a "Flarhgunnstow" before being subjected to viewing nude Tayne. Despite his wife calling, he rejects the call stating "We have important work to do" and continues examining his generated dance sequences. The sketch has become widely memed and quoted online, particularly for Rudd's earnest delivery of absurd technical commands.
