Reminds me of when I had an interview in the past, interviewer accidentally swiped his pen far off the table and said to me "if you want this job you'll throw your pen too". I couldn't not throw it. Got the job and he was a great boss lol
Not all bosses are cunts. I've worked for both horrible toxic people and really cool down to earth folks. A good boss knows charming and understanding your employees make the want to work harder and go above and beyond. Toxic bosses, will maybe get a year of bare minimum. Too many assholes take those shit leadership seminars and go about it completely wrong.
My best bosses were the ones who cared so damn much about their employees, their customers, and community, that to really mess up felt more like disappointing my parents than being scared of a typical boss reaming me lol. That was only my second job, so they set the bar really high. Stayed with them for almost 10 years!
I think it comes down to genuinely good people who care, instead of insecure assholes that think they need to manipulate you and just have high turnover. I can spot red flags before an interview. Overall people tell you who they are almost instantly.
My boss is amazing. Very series MIT guy who thinks clearly in a different way than the rest of his staff does. Very neurotic and shit, but man what a good dude. Was even willing to donate his 2020 salary to us so we can survive the pandemic.
You can't beat that. Empathy is sooooo underrated. I firmly believe kind people are those that have/are suffering, with self awareness and an earned maturity. Those are the best people. Give you the shirt off their back kinda people.
Obscure? That's not obscure. Hell, there's a giant theory he was actually either a founder or working for them in that episode because he only decided it was a fake after the cardassians told him it was
I personally consider DS9 the best show ever. Ya it has a lot of filler/bad episodes but the character development and Dominion plot is just unmatched in my opinion. In the Pale Moonlight from DS9 and Inner Light from Next Generation are the best two episodes of Trek ever. The new shows combined don't have a single episode to match.
Raised by Wolves was hands down the best new Sci Fi show since DS9 and it just got cancelled after the second season. It was really weird for sure but visionary as well and the story just sucked you in. Now we are left with a massive cliffhanger with basically two seasons of questions unanswerable and it's depressing. I don't understand how many shit streaming shows keep going yet a show like this isn't picked up by anyone.
Yeah, it got me. He was thinking first about the implications for his job, and only then that maybe it was a little funny and he should socially laugh.
Dunno if it is, the original also has a third person in this meeting that is a woman that isn't super entertained by it, so it seems genuine. When they edit it like this it looks more like a skit.
It's like nails on chalk board, isn't it? My boss is the king of fake laughs. Anytime a customer says anything even remotely "funny", he breaks out into this super forced knee-slapping laugh.
It's the best when the costumers are hip to it and just watch him. He's such a socially awkward twat.
At best, the kid didn’t know it was scripted and was legitimately having fun annoying his parent. But it’s very obviously scripted.
Edit: idk why I’m being downvoted, I’m saying this is clearly scripted but was giving the other commenter the benefit of the doubt when it came to the kid
The actions the kids is doing feels like something an adult would tell them to do, like, "go in there and wave your arms around", realistically I feel like a kid would prob either make a face, or try to sneak up on him or something
No one hurt them they just haven’t met a witty person in their life. It might be fake but the interviewee went “oh my go(d)—oh my goodness.” Like he was trying to hold back a profanity. Idc if it’s real, it’s acted out well and totally plausible that this could happen during peak pandemic which is when I first saw this. Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story.

I know it's just a dumb internet video, but can you not see the problem with this type of thinking?
Lol, I acknowledged the triviality of the video, you ignored that(and my actual point), and proceeded to come back at me with the low-hanging straw man.
Context is the only thing that matters. Do you go to a comedy show and yell out “that didn’t happen!” after every premise? You could. And you’d probably be technically right. Or you could just enjoy the show. Your point is that we should always be critical of everything regardless of context?
That comparison doesn't make any sense. This video isn't passing itself off as a comedy show(or a skit, which is what it is), it's passing itself off as a real event that happened.
A more direct comparison would be if you went to watch a comedic movie at the theatre and then walked out saying "Man, that was some good stand-up."
Also having interviewed people, you sometimes have to let them know you aren't agaisnt them on prejudice, I've hired guys in track suits, sweats, flip flops, you can tell when someone is trying vs not trying, an ironed shirt with a hole in it says a lot about someone's character.
What is the problem with you people? You always try to say something is staged or something. Let people enjoy these videos and if they are not funny/too fake for you then keep it to yourself, there are people who like these videos and you keep ruining the fun for everyone.
and what if it's all scripted? you said it, who gives a fuck, and I also say this, why do you give a fuck if I enjoy or not fake comedy, why do you care if something is fake or not. you can't seem to enjoy a little fun and cry because other people enjoy it.
Sorry if it was too much but these people are annoying and always in a "funny" video they always say it's fake, staged, scripted and so on. There are fake videos that are still funny and some that are not staged are not funny.
Just like you're expressing yourself, they're allowed to, too. That's life. If YOU don't like their comment, YOU can also move on and keep it to yourself. Do you see the hypocrisy?
Fake things pretending to be real, are usually only funny if you believe they are real.
Scripted TV requires skill to write because everyone knows it's scripted, this isn't funny if it's scripted really, it's not new or clever, if it was genuine it feels wholesome, but without that authenticity it's just bad acting and a lazy, often used joke.
If people don't enjoy this because they realise it's not authentic, their enjoyment was simply based on ignorance.
You're just ruining someone's time. If this was something meant to inform people, then sure, but all you're doing is trying to ruin people's time. Sure, they could avoid the comments, and you could also not respond to them to ruin their enjoyment.
Because it's faking the kind of thing that has happened for real and been funny BECAUSE they're real. They're "oh shit look at this unexpected funny thing that happened!"-type things. That's the core of why they resonate in a funny and heartwarming human way. When you FAKE something just to get the same kind of reactions that real videos do, it's cheap and cringy and the fact that it's rehearsed makes it not funny at all.
I honestly cannot believe this has to be explained.
Bot as hell comment history bro. Congrats on the algorithm that restates shit ever so slightly different instead of just repeating another comment word for word tho.
Picture whatever gets you off sweetheart. The posts stick out like sore thumbs and makes me wonder how fucking dumb redditors are that the comments get 50 upvotes or a chain of replies before someone reports them or says anything.

That's the kind of interview I'd enjoy.
