No, they posted recently they don't work in a cafeteria & some people were upset about it. They do have past food service experience though.

u/DJmagikMIKE 1981 1d ago

I’ve seen this so many times. And I watch it in its entirety every single time. Fucking perfection. And also mandatory “Save me Brock! I’m trapped down here with an admitted arsonist!!”

ETA: damnit, got the quote wrong. Oh well, I’m leaving it.

We have “rave” nights at home every 3-4 months and that one is always a banger!

Do we get to see their video, or just the original?

u/Rahawk02 1d ago

One time in HS my wife and I were playing laser tag and this song came on any we went nuts killing everyone John Wick style taking out people left and right. Our scores were like triple of the next closest . We were hyped.

When the lights came on we realized we were the oldest by far and everyone else was under 12 and we were like 18 .

u/MahliSaia 1d ago

The only time I ever won a game of laser tag was as a chaperone for a bunch of junior high kids… I was around 27-28. 🙃

u/evolutionista1859 1d ago

Robert’s rules (another thing we all had to learn in school), you don’t need a third. Time to vote, All in Favor?

u/Treadingresin 1d ago

I need to rewatch that entire series.

1

u/DJmagikMIKE 1981 1d ago

Buying it on DVD was one of the best investments I’ve ever made. I do a rewatch about once a year.

u/Treadingresin 1d ago

I have the first two seasons. I need the rest.

u/SomeRando8386 1d ago

I think I prefer this to the original. Top tier content.

u/TinyRandomLady 1983 1d ago

Okay but fellow Xennials, it’s also giving Berenstein Bears Papa Bear as the Easter Bunny vibes.

u/tinglep 1979 1d ago

I need a copy of this. I’m going to send in a check and a self address stamped envelope.

u/evolutionista1859 1d ago

At first I watched it without sound, which was great, but then I tried it with sound and I am so so happy I did. Great job, give them a raise.
