Security Questions Hit Too Hard

Choose a security question Where did you go for your honeymoon? What was your first job? What was your first girlfriend or boyfriend's name? What was the name of your childhood best friend?

A video starts with a man drinking from a glass fishbowl beneath a list of ordinary security questions, then cuts to a sorrowful long-haired video-game character whose expression grows increasingly anguished before he appears with a cigarette.

It is used as a reaction to embarrassing memories, painful nostalgia, or disproportionately intense sadness.
