The setup

A ghost wakes a man at 3 a.m. with life-changing advice that turns out to be sayings he has heard a hundred times.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

In the middle of the night, a mustached ghost appears at a man's bedside, explaining that the success of the Ebenezer Scrooge visits has his employer pushing for more life-changing hauntings. Without the budget for graveyard visions, the ghost can only offer familiar proverbs, and the unimpressed man points out that he has already heard every one of them. Desperate not to be sent back to hell, the ghost keeps trying until he learns he may have caused the death of the man's grandfather. A second ghost turns up with a stack of his own sayings, but the two spirits soon give up on their boring subject in favor of haunting a supermodel, leaving the man's late grandpa to arrive with a much more practical correction.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

No, we don't have that kind of budget.

Do not eat that brownie on December 14th.

A watched pot totally still boils.

Notes from the archive.

Ryan George plays all four parts: the man in bed, both ghosts and the grandfather's ghost. The official upload was released on Halloween 2024 and credits Scott Roberts as a writing collaborator.
