Solving a Rubik's Cube

—Episode description

* Video
* Short

**Solving a Rubik's Cube** is the 36th episode in the series and the final video inside the cardboard house.

## Plot synopsis

The video begins with Buttered Side Down at a yard sale. He looks at certain things, but his Rubik's Cube falls out of his pockets, scrambling one side. He solves it, but it scrambles again. He solves it again, but all the sides are scrambled when he looks at a side.

He then takes the Rubik's cube back to his cardboard house, before attempting to solve it more. As he starts to get frustrated and tighten the cube in his palm, one of the pieces starts to come out, before he puts it back in, resulting in the whole cube splitting into pieces. Buttered then attempts to mold the puzzle back to its original shape, but winds up with a pyramid, a pentagon, and even a dog.

Stumped, Buttered then goes onto his computer to search up on how to solve a Rubik's cube and clicks on the first video that shows up on the search results. However, when the video starts out simple and realistic, it starts to get harder as Simplexio then uses several hands, and then telekinesis on the cube in his tutorial. Buttered attempts to replicate what he's doing, but accidentally shoots the cube right into the computer.

When he goes to remove the cube from the now destroyed computer, he finds the chip inside and has the idea to construct a robot known as Rubit using that chip. When Rubit attempts to solve the Rubik's cube, however he starts to short-circuit and instead marches outside and destroys the cardboard house before walking off.

Now with his house completely demolished, and that the cube is still scrambles, Buttered has nothing else to do but to toss the cube down a cliff, which ironically, after several hits, is solved, before it gets swept by the ocean.

### Audible Sponsorship

After the main video ends, a sponsorship for Audible is seen with a clip of Buttered Side Down reading his book, before crashing into a pole. He then struggles doing other activates while reading his book, including playing tennis with the staff, or riding a roller coaster. Here the voiceover introduces Audible, as Buttered then puts on his headphones and listens to his audiobook, now being able to listen to his books while being able to do the previous activates he was struggling with before.

## Trivia

* The 6 videos on Buttered's recommended are based off of previous content in the channel:
	1. "27 EASY LIFE HACKS FOR YOUR HOME" presumably references to the WD-40.
	2. "What Is Candy Corn Actually Made Of?" references the Making Candy Corn video.
	3. "Top 10 World's Hottest Peppers in the WORLD! Is Ghost Pepper #1?" references the Eating Something Spicy video.
	4. "Christmas Scene - Christmas Fireplace - Christmas Tree ..." references the Finding a Christmas Tree video.
	5. "8 Crazy Alarm Clocks That Are Sure to Wake You Up" references the Getting out of Bed video.
	6. "Save a Pet Rock" references the Pet Rock and Pet Rock 2 videos and Rocky.

It was unknown if this was intentional or not.
