Lenny's Vlogs: The Revelation

Lenny's Vlogs: The Revelation is a Spyman's Cosmos one-shot and the fortieth installment overall. The video uses a vlog format for the most part to resemble a video made for Lenny's U-Tub channel. It follows Lenny and his attempts to catch No-Life's parents' faces on tape. It was released unexpectedly on December 18, 2020.
==Synopsis==
Lenny Jester records his investigation.
== Plot==
The video starts in Lenny's room at Phil's Mansion, where he is being recorded by Charles. Lenny welcomes the audience and after some digression, he presents the main topic of the vlog - the mystery behind No-Life's parents faces. Caddict then comes in with a cork board full of connected traces and Lenny remembers last Christmas, when he noticed something weird happening to No-Life's father's face. Next, he reveals that after some deeper investigation, it turned out that the parents' faces have never been caught on a photograph or video before. Lenny then says they are going to be the first one to achieve that and Charles turns off the recording. They then talk and both Charles and Caddict express their lack of desire to do it, considering their current responsibilities as defenders of Earth and the fact that Lenny is going to the university in a week, but most importantly as it would break the terms of their deal with No-Life to respect his privacy. Eventually, being fully aware that Lenny would go to No-Life's house anyway, Charles hands him a chip created by Saturn.
Under No-Life's house, Lenny speaks to his viewers for a while, saying how the nostalgia from recording videos just helps him, then adding that he's still intrigued by the whole affair. After pushing the doorbell, introducing himself as No-Life's friend and entering the house, he tries to record both No-Life's Mom and Dad, but is stopped by either Otillie accidentally covering her mom's face with a trophy, Alex acting crazy, or No-Life himself, thinking that he's recording a prank on him. Lenny clears everything out and No-Life mocks him and leaves.
After the cut, Lenny is seen on the attic, visibly worried, saying that he was looking for some photos that would fully show the parents' faces but would be hidden. However, he says that he found proof of horrible things and wants to show one picture to the camera, when a flash of light distracts him. He's immediately knocked down by someone with a baseball bat and falls to the floor, dropping the photograph. It lands on the ground and reveals someone who looks similar to No-Life's father, with another photo revealing his name as Colonel Johnson. Finally, No-Life's father is seen and camera goes up his body. When it shows his face, it once again glitches and reveals the true one, which indeed belongs to Johnson.

==Trivia==
===General===
* The idea for this one-shot was created in 2017, when The Philmer first thought of No-Life's father being Colonel Johnson. At first it was supposed to lead to a five-part series, but as No-Life's Home Alone, which introduced the Johnson beard easter-egg, was delayed, the same happened with the one-shot. At one point it was supposed to be the eigth and final episode of No-Life's Tales, but that was scrapped as well when the series was cancelled. Finally, it was decided that it would be preceeded by a series meant to expand on the characters, so that they would be fleshed out in what the one-shot would lead to - a Spyman's Cosmos movie that could be the series finale.
* The longest one-shot yet.
*The video is meant to be an expanded prologue to The Philmer's upcoming installment - Johnson's Vengeance.
===Continuity===
*Earlier events, such as the reunification of Spyman's Cosmos, the flood of Finledge or the war with Vitreous are briefly mentioned.
*Lenny has a flashback to the closing scene of How No-Life Stole Christmas, this time shown from a slightly different perspective.
**The special is referenced on numerous occasions later on, mainly concerning the pranking trio's deal with No-Life.
* No-Life mentions his channel, introduced briefly in The Thunder.
===References===
*There is an Archeress action figure in Lenny's room, referencing the FJM heroine of the same name.
**Another FJM reference is the comic book laying on the floor, titled "The Scarlet Star", which is the name of another superheroine from that universe.
