A sci‑fi vlog in which Adrian Bliss reports from the future, blending DIY effects with his early self‑aware comic style.

Vlog From the Future #4, released on 30 October 2015, is the final entry in YouTuber Adrian Bliss’s four‑part 'Vlogs From the Future' series. In this episode, Bliss continues his comic premise of having travelled to the future, pairing a mock sci‑fi tone with the handmade visual effects that defined his early creative approach.

The video satirises the hyper‑optimised world of social media and a culture in which emotions are packaged for Likes. Personal moments blend seamlessly with brand opportunities and even pets can be rented to boost engagement.

Arriving just before Bliss shifted more fully into character‑driven sketch comedy, the vlog captures a moment in his creative evolution when low‑budget ingenuity, digital self‑awareness and sharp humour about online life converged to shape his emerging voice.

Shot in a classic handheld, talking-to-camera Vlog style with animated elements, we follow a day in the life of a future Vlogger constantly hassled by digital and robotic marketers. Hologram guards block his access to certain parts of the city until he gains more followers and, desperate to boost his social media numbers, he resorts to hiring a dog from 'Dogs 4 Likes'.
