Before continuing with the storyline, Microsoft Sam decides to celebrate Independence Day. How will he attempt to celebrate it? Find out by watching.
== Lore Description ==
Mr. B decides to wait until tomorrow, the day of the 4th of July, to use the cameras for filming again. This causes a strange “time pause” in Mike’s universe, where everyone in the Afterlife literally just does nothing except stand there, which is why Mr. Afterlife has not revived Mike and Mary yet. Nothing important to the channel is supposed to happen when the cameras are off. This doesn’t mean that things won’t happen; if so, the cameras will record and the scene will appear as a flashback if necessary. This is why the cameras can appear at any point in time; even the past.
Anyways, on July 4th, the cameras start rolling and Sam announces out loud that he’s going to celebrate Independence Day by getting fireworks, which distracts Mr. Afterlife.
Error 1: Sam gets on the spare computer of the Afterlife and orders fireworks for $10.99. Sam logs in to his bank account on this computer in order to do this.
Error 2: The money is automatically returned since they cannot figure out where Sam is.
Error 3: They do not recognize the Afterlife as a specific location of the universe.
Mr. Afterlife says that since this is supposed to be an entirely separate realm from the land of the living, it does not have a specific address. Sam then asks him how else he’s supposed to celebrate Independence Day, and Mr. Afterlife responds by throwing another bomb. It, of course, doesn’t do anything, since Sam’s soul is already recognized as dead in the prompter, so he is naturally immune to regular threats. After that, Mr. Afterlife drops a hint for the viewers about what’s going to happen to him next episode…
== Director's Commentary ==
NOTE: After all the lore revamps on the document are done, I am going to actually tend to this wiki the way I should've done in the beginning. I'm also going to remake the director's commentary bits. So, as a little disclaimer, the following isn't the final version and may even contain outdated information in some cases.
Ah yes, the first CSV episode to share the same name as the video title! For the record, I only wanted to do a 4th of July special because I wanted to do holiday specials for CSV, and this day just so happened to come up. That's also why I made a Halloween and Christmas special afterwards. I didn't want to do much for this special, so I just made up a random storyline about Sam wanting fireworks delivered, even though he's in the Afterlife, and then Mr. Afterlife celebrates the day by throwing another bomb at him. By the way, this is also the first time that Windows errors pop up in a video that isn't an AWE episode.
If you've read the lore document, you would know that the first five episodes take place on July 1st, and then here, there's a sudden jump to July 4th. Why was Mr. Afterlife waiting so long to revive Mike and Mary? Well, in the Christmas special, I made up the excuse that time is weird, because time in the CSV world doesn't really work the same as in real life. For the real life dates, I make it so that if there's an episode that is a direct continuation of the previous one, then it takes place on the same day, even though it most definitely released after the previous episode's date. For this episode, it only takes place on July 4th since it's a 4th of July special and it wouldn't make sense on any other day. Why don't I just put the other episodes on July 4th? BECAUSE I'M CRA-ZAAAAAAAAY!!! Sorry, that was a PvZ 1 Crazy Dave reference that I did for no reason. Real reason is that it wouldn't feel right if I put those episodes on any date other than the day I first started the series.
In the end, I didn't put an extra title card that says that an episode is coming soon, because I already did that in AWE S1EP5. Originally, the only series I was making was AWE, and this was just a fun one-off I decided to do, though I was definitely planning to do more specials in the future. Then, as I said before, this type of video basically turned into its own genre of CSV videos. That's all I need to say. The finale of the original run is next…
