'The Light at the End of the Tunnel' Someone explain!


I just happened to catch the end of the episode, and it had something to do with a guy destroying an audio tape or something, and flying in a car. Could someone explain the whole episode to me?

What smells like blue?

The guy keeps having nightmare after nightmare and never really wakes up.
Very scary thought, I've had this happen to me a few times.

Most people see things that are and ask "why?", I dream things that never were and ask, "why not?"

Who was that black guy in the car with him, and what was the tape?

The black guy was kinda like his "punisher" who was making him pay for all the wrong he had done. The tape was what was keeping him from waking up.

I LOVE the FN series, and it would be VERY scary NOT to be able to wake up and not to know whether you were REALLY awake or just in another dream, I've had this happen to be before, and it's REALLY scarey!

Wait, so why was the main character such a bad guy? And what was that paper? Could you just explain the whole plot to me?

"Shemp is 'hemp' spelled backwards."
"And Otto is Otto backwards!"
"...Now I'm scared..."

Ok I know this is late, and this ep intrigued me too, sorry this is 4 years late lol

But the guy was a sleazy boss who mistreated his employees and sexaully harrased them, etc...

He also tried to screw people over. The black guy, Raymond Jordan, was the owner of the Black Knight co. Anyway the Video Store owner, Murray, had doen business with him and bought who the vid store owner Murray was taking advantage of some tapes and sold them and was trying to screw the guy out of the deal and not pay him.

So Mr. Jordan gives him this tape "How to be a Mega Success" and it causes him to have nightmare after nightmare.


To me it was truly one of the most distrubing episodes!

Question your prejudices.
