==History==
===Reunion and Having Some Fun===
It all starts when Jay is reunited with Seth at LA airport before they went to the former's home together. During the trip, Seth stated that he is no longer drinking nor smoking nor eating too much calories and fat, considering the last as gluten. Ironically, they take their time to stop at nearby restaurant's drive thru to eat burgers together, with rich calories and fat that he attempted to limit.
Arriving at Seth's home, Seth revealed to prepare some surprises for Jay which includes his favorite foods (some of them includes Starburst and Airheads, and some vegetables that are arranged into Jay’s name), much to Jay's pleasant surprise. Both celebrities then have some fun for hours until they wore themselves out.
As they watch the news about sudden appearance of sinkhole in Guatemala, Seth suggested that the next things to do for the vacation is to visit Franco's brand new mansion. Jay at first objected the idea as it was his first time in LA and he never met James Franco in person nor gotten along with Jonah Hill. Seth then asked his opinion about Craig Robinson, and Jay claimed that he never met Craig either. After considering for a while, Jay finally relents and got along with the party for Seth.
===Visiting James Franco===
In spite of amazed by how big Franco's new house was, Jay's awe abruptly ends upon the sight of raucous party where many celebrities and others drink, take drugs, have sex, and commit other immoral acts. Not only that, he feels uncomfortable being around many people he does not know well including Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Michael Cera, Craig Robinson, and Emma Watson. Craig and Emma didn't take Jay's discomfort with the party seriously and mistaking him for hating many things. Hearing Craig’s repulsive but fun song titled Take Yo Panties Off and the sight of Michael Cera’s **** *** time with two ladies ultimately the last straw for Jay, and he asked Rogen to accompany him to the outside to a store for cigarettes.
===Dawn of the Apocalypse===
Upon entering the store, Jay expresses his discomfort with the party goers they met in Franco's house. Seth on the other hand, thinks Jay was merely too awkward to properly deal with so many people around him. Their conversation is soon interrupted by an earthquake that strikes LA followed by the sight of good-hearted people being claimed by mysterious beams of light, including nearby customers. To their horror, collateral damages said beams left behind become apparent starting from the bewildered cashier nearby getting crushed by a part of ceiling collapsing above her. Fleeing the store, two best friends see the situation outside escalates further, especially with several vehicles crashing through everything in their paths because of their drivers abruptly claimed while on the move. Despite his panic over the ensuing chaos drives him to blame Seth for inviting him to L.A., Jay nonetheless agrees with his friend to warn everyone back at Franco's residence.
Returning to Franco's residence, the two best friends warns everyone inside about the chaos all over the city. It takes the earthquake reaching their location and worse, the sight of L.A. in flames they believed Jay and Seth's claims however. The disaster escalates further upon the embarassing death of Michael Cera who calls everyone out for not helping him finding his missing phone which turns out in his jacket all along as he got impaled by a falling lamp post and subsequently consumed by a newly forming sinkhole. More of party goers, including Rihanna, perished as more sinkholes appear and converge with the first one into a gigantic one. Jonah Hill uses this as the opportunity to "accidentally" knock Jay to his death only for the latter manages to pull himself out from his doom.
Franco, Jay, Craig, and Jonah have a hard time in coping with the reality of the world turning into hell. Checking on the news, they see the ongoing disaster has reached entire planet, cutting off everyone from both internet and other forms of communication. Riots worsen as entire civilization begin to collapse before TV signals got cut off for good. To Jay's further despair as he wishes not to die in Franco's home, they witness a chopper crashing unto Franco's lawn and Craig have a close call; a piece of its propeller vane burst into their shelter and leaves a small cut on his finger.
===Survival Plan and Living Misfortune of The Survivors===
After gathering the remaining supplies, everyone then sleep for another day. The next day, Danny, whom turned out survived the disaster wasted some of their supplies, inciting argument where a survivor’s head popped out and begged for help. Another argument ensues where Franco and his friends debated whether they should led the man in until the man himself suddenly decapitated by mysterious presence on the outside. The survivor's head caused Danny to be panicked and kicked it in disgust, hilariously caused the others to kicked it like soccer ball until Jonah stops them. The boys then go to peek to the outside, only to find that the presence that decapitated the man no longer on sight, and so does the man's body.
Jay than deduced that Judgement Day was occurred since the city set ablaze and countless good people whom beamed to the sky was raptured where the beam brought their souls straight to Heaven by God as when this happens, Satan and the demons would be released on Earth. Jonah and the others don't believe Jay's suspicion about what has happened, but nevertheless used Franco's house as mansion as reasons why they yet to be raptured was due to their past wrongdoings.
===Disastrous Misunderstanding===
After spent some time by consuming drugs that they had (where at this moment Jay doesn't want to do drugs but ended up drunken with a can of beverage that turned out to be mixed with ecstacy) and make some con-movies, the boys relaxed until Emma showed up. Emma still oblivious with what happened as she thought that they are dealing with zombie apocalypse (presumably because she encountered a bunch of cannibals on her way to Franco's house), and James had her stay on a room. An argument ensues between the boys because they didn't want Emma felt discomfort with her being the only girl in the shelter. Unfortunately, the argument ended up became tense and during that time, the boys mentioned about rape out loud where Emma, whom turned out heard the argument all the time but oblivious with it's full context, became angrier than ever. She forced the boys to give her all beverages and escaped, much to everyone's dismay.
===Water Supply Crisis===
The disastrous misunderstanding led to them forced to choose who would go to the basement through the house's lawn by choosing burnt matches among the intact ones. Craig was chosen to the outside and given lifeline. Little that he knew that his friends screwed up by forgot to hold the rope until Craig arrived near the basement's door. Realizing their mistake, the boys warned Craig that they didn't hold the rope just as Craig spotted the mysterious presence that decapitated the survivor long before, causing him to flee back into the house. But the mysterious presence pulled the rope that Craig accidentally pulled to the outside and tries to pull him back. Jonah didn't help much of the situation as when he threw the knife, he ended up impales Jay's tight like a kunai much to Jay's horror.
The exasperated Franco then yelled out loud that the water supply was right below them, giving the idea to made a hole to enter through. Though there' an argument between Franco, Danny, and Seth, the digging was succeeded when Jay aid Seth once Danny sulks and left Seth for worked himself. The success was cut-short where when they limit the water consumption to survive the now hostile environment, Danny screwed up by wasting every single drop of water and even sprayed them during the heat of the argument, forced the boys to kick Danny out. In retaliation, Danny, whom given a gun by Franco, shoot them all only to revealed that the gun was given empty bullets.
After kicked Danny out, Jonah was fed with Jay's self-righteous and Danny's belief that Jay was delusional with what's going on. Jay was also upset that he punches Jonah and leaves. Before sleeping, the still upset Jonah prays for God to kill Jay. Instead of fulfilled his wishes as Jay's negative opinion about Jonah was true all along, God let Jonah to be raped by an Incubus as retribution of his wrong doings.
===Bull Demon Chase===
Another vote with burned matches for hunting supplies in the neighboring house began in the next morning where Craig and Seth had the burned matches. Seth argued that he doesn't want to go, he forced Jay to replace him in which Jay begrudgingly accepts. Craig states that he would accompany him due to him stronger than Jay.
As they search for the supply, fog has descent to the whole area where the darkness covered the planet (as only the very small portion of sunlight that shines on earth before the whole universe reduced into nothingness). Jay expresses his pity as they pass through what was used to be the kids' playground. They later found a nearby dilapidated house and salvages foods that left behind. Here, Jay suggested Craig that both of them would made the house their new shelter and no longer return for Franco's house.
Suddenly, a bull-like demon bursts into the abandoned house before roars and chase both of them where it later focused on Jay because Craig managed to hiding. It briefly lost track on Jay until it spotted him desperately trying to open the window to escape. It roars and charges toward Jay to mauled him, only to be failed as Craig suddenly jumped on Jay and caused both of them crashed to the outside in the process, saving Jay. Both Craig and Jay managed to escape from the house and arrived in the nick of time to knocked Possessed Jonah flat twice before they together tied him inside one of the room in the shelter.
===Realization on Apocalypse===
The boys now realized that Apocalypse indeed happened, which means God do exist and responsible for everything that happened. Craig stated that God never make any mistakes and they actually have reasons why God yet to rapture them. Craig pointed out this by stating he was once gouged a man's eyeballs out during the barfight in his youth, and Franco also stated that he was once had a sex with Lindsay Lohan whom mistaking him as Jake Gyllenhaal. Craig sums up that they are here due to having bad deeds that prevent them from being raptured. Just then, the power finally out for good, with Jay break the fourth wall by stating the soundtrack sounds as if they all going to be insane, Craig feels pity on Jonah during their situation now with Jay stated that he knew what to do.
