"Boss, new crapshots just dropped!"
"What's it about?"
"You're gonna want to see this"
"Just tell me what its about!"
Dangit this comment is just a better version of my joke
Kathleen did a great job being funny with only concerned expressions! "Panicked Cam" is also always comedy gold.
I feel this on a personal level. There have been so many times when I've been told "You're gonna wanna see this-" or "It's better if you just come and look for yourself-" and every single time it was something that could be explained in ten words or less. Just say "Hey, Perkins accidentally tore the back of his hand off." Cool. Medical is literally one hundred feet away, go with my blessing and hope he makes a full recovery. "We have an Avenger in need of fuel." Cool. I'll get a trip ticket from the sergeant whose vehicle that is, and you can fill it up. "One of the trucks is on fire!" Cool. Grab the extinguisher from inside the cab, and put it out.
The cab is also on fire. And so is the extinguisher.
My job tends to be opposite. I tend to deal with people who are sometimes extremely bad at describing the problem to me. Way too often, I have to go see it for myself or ask them to take a cell phone picture and send it to me.
I process things in kind of what could be described as "3D space" (not really... more like 2D picture with depth... 2,5D?) as in I remember and think as if I was observing that thing in a volume of space. It is really hard for anyone to explain to me the things I need to visualise a thing from "blank canvas". And for this reason it is always easier and faster for me to go and see the problem. Few people I know who process things like I do, can explain it to me and I to them.
On top of this I work with lot of people who are not fluent in Finnish or English, so explanations are always lacking clarity and information. And my German isn't good enough yet to converse with.
And since I deal with welded structures, 50% of solving an issue is just me seeing it. And this is why we take and send pictures and video to communicate things with. Generally issue solves itself when I/we incharge of dealing with it see it.
Sure but that's an entirely different context and work than the one described in the original comment@@4Gehe2
Like ofc you need to see a space to visualise it in your mind qnd someone explaining it to you doesn't work well, but this ain't what this is about
But sir, if you don't lay eyes on it the coordination of the response will have been my responsibility when the inquiry board investigates!
"You're gonna wanna come down here" is a classic Star Trek move.
Like, naw dude. Just tell the bridge what's going on so we can make informed decisions before we spend the next several minutes hoofing our way over there.
Star Trek is a show, so "show, don't tell" makes sense. It also makes sense to assume that it was explained off-screen before they hoofed it.
Saying "no time to explain" doesn't make sense. Besides, Star Trek is famous for its elevator talks.
I relate to all 3 sides of this now.
Ive been the prankster trying to just lighten someone's day and getting shut down.
Ive been the one in the room as someone explodes over nothing.
And I have been the one exploding over something that was actually for my benefit... And felt awful about it afterwards
...life really takes you places.
A lifetime of media consumption has me feeling Beej is being obstinant and obtuse, merely because I am watching this exchange on a screen, yet in real life, I know I'd need better justification to break me out of my already in progress task.
I feel like the writer of this crapshot has the same pet peeve that I do; movie characters saying "no time to explain" when the problem can be summed up in a single sentence. I'm on Boss Beej's side here, just USE YOUR WORDS!
Also no one explains on the way? I know it's because the writer wants to put a cut in there, but for goodness sake it gets tiring.
Yeah, it's right up there with drama arising from misunderstandings that could've been cleared up in three sentences, but the characters are too proud to explain and/or listen.
And half the time "monster , vents" does it
That's just the extradimensional creatures from the teleportation experiment coming to join the party. No big deal.
Glad I wasn't the only one that thought of Half-Life with the rant about multiple layers of facility.
They're bringing omni-spacial lollipops for everyone to try. When you lick them you taste them everywhere. EVERYWHERE.
Ever licked a cola lollipop and felt that taste in your mouth, femur and thyroid gland simultaneously?
@@PlebNCYou taste it in your coworkers mouth too even.
@@gwamhurt That awkward moment when you taste your co-worker's lollipop omni-spacially and there's an aftertaste of "bodily fluids" that makes you and every other nearby co-worker stop to see who's still licking a lollipop.
Man, Kathleen does "I'd rather be anywhere else, right now" very well.
Cam might be the only actor I've seen whose performance *implies* a comb-over. I don't have a better way to explain it, and I definitely mean it as a compliment to Cam's ability.
Ian yelling "FINALLY" when the alarms go off
I was expecting something so bizarre that even the boss didn't have the words for it.
But this is way funnier.
Cam screams so well
I like to think he's the only one with a tacticool vest on because he's the one security guard who's worked there the longest by sheer virtue of being a complete coward. a.k.a. "The Rincewind Effect"
You're gonna wanna see this video I saw from LoadingReadyRun.
"What's it called?"
AHHHHHHHH
Naturally!
The birthday party SCP. It infects a random group of coworkers and selects one at random as the recipient regardless if it's their birthday or not. The rest have to get the recipient to attend without directly telling them or the SCP is not going away. Once presents and pleasantries have been exchanged the SCP moves on to another group leaving the former with no memory of the event. Containment was so far unsuccessful.
It just wants to have fun 🥺
It's a party, and I'll scream if I want to
I love Cameron's perfectly cut off scream.
You're gonna wanna watch this again.
As someone who has that exact same kind of video switcher (vga, so outdated and no longer used, plus one of the buttons no longer works) I respect and enjoy the prop choice for "Generic Audio Conferencing Device."
As a fellow AV techie type person, I knew it was something like that, though I don't know that model. Thanks!
This is Peak Crapshot right here. Tried and true scenario, clever subversion, extra punchline at the end. Badabing badaboom bettyboop.
Usually, it's just easier to drop a meeting on the boss's calendar for some BS reason than trying to do the whole "Ya need to come see this." excuse.
Cam's scream is *excellent*
Camerons scream at the end is profoundly good
that cameron scream at the end cut short so perfectly. Kudos
Cam scream killed me 😆
That scream at the end was perfect
As a data scientist, my default decision matrix for involving upper management in problem solving:
Can it be described in 1 paragraph or fewer than 5 bullet points?
Y>explain in words
N>send picture + "what do?"
Halfway through I was thinking "whose birthday is it?"
And I was right!
This got an "awww" out of me. Great job peeps.
But if I tell you then I can’t “show not tell” you for dramatic effect!
At this point bring it in for him to see, if he won't come to the ~~surprise party~~ unimaginable madness, bring it to him.
You just know one of the scientists bought and put up the decorations, and they refuse to move the cake because they want it to be a surprise and they put in "a lot of effort."
That or they're not allowed to bring food into meeting rooms after someone snuck in trailmix during the day there was a lecture with a creature that gets violent in the presence of dried fruits or something.
I was waiting with baited breath for the drop.
I was not disapointed.
Loved that twist 😂
Didn't see any of that coming. And I'm ok with that. Nicely done.
That's too real.
Yeah new LRR content!
Edit now sad and scared
"sad and scared" that's comedy for ya' :D
that ending i did noooot see coming 🤣🤣
A small price to pay to get rid of messages that amount to "We need to talk" without further clarifying information.
I think were looking at the next "Everything is fine"!
Cathleen's jacket confuses me. I don't know why... but I just can't comprehend what it is and how it is...
I kind of feel all the facial expressions at the spoiled surprise but then the air raid siren made everything better🎉
Some truly excellent prop comedy from Kathleen's shoulder pads
Gosh I love Crapshots
Time to watch this again!
Kathleen kind of got the David Byrne suit
Oh, it's an SCP facility
Or maybe it's a Lobotomy Corp office?
You know I figured the punchline was going to be what it was. But I was still surprised by the ending.
Everyone should remember the first rule of Lobotomy Corp: never miss the Abnormality infested birthday party or you will have a Qlipoth Meltdown
Security's must be super tight and boring for employees to be excited at an alarm going off!
A normal day at scp site 17
Or Umbrella Corp
Ah the double turnaround.
i don’t know a show that has pushed this trope to it’s extreme better than doctor who in the matt smith weeping angels episode
"Finally!" lol
I assumed it was going to turn out some eldritch horror that drives people mad by trying to describe it, or even trying to explain the previous sentence. Should have remembered, LRR NEVER does what you expect.
Huh, the cake wasn’t a lie?
Int. Black Mesa Research Facility, Administration
Too relatable lol
Just another day at the FBC
😂 a delight as always
9252 days - for anyone wonder what the half-life of interdimensional business comedy is.
I'm sure glad I got to see what is was about... wait, what was it about?
Great love it
lovely
Hay I was half right about it just being a Bday thing.
I spent way too long wondering why Kathleen had a neck brace on...
Great now they’re going going to think the code blue was what they wanted them to come see, making them all look like jerks
Is that an old VGA KVM switch??
More poignant than funny but glad to see more Crapshots. Great acting.
oh my god no thats so sad dont do this to me
aw :(
I swear I like Cameron, but I do love to see him lose his shit.
I have four wardrobe notes, three are positive and one is minor. Paul and Beej's wardrobes are awesome (2 of 4). Kathleen's jacket is awesome (3 of 4). Kathleen's jacket being zipped so high, being such and awesome blue, and with the broad shoulders make her head look small (4 of 4). Her performance is excellent. Since you are still reading, physical phone devices are so outdated that I appreciate your attempt at a prop. #Cisco
Fifth wardrobe note, when sitting down pull your jacket under you as you sit so it doesn't bunch up at your shoulders. Obviously, the comedy is perfect. I'll stop annoying Graham now?
So....watching this at a "data saving" 144p, is Kathleen wearing a turtleneck or a neck brace?
it is a turtleneck but i thought it was a brace on the thumbnail lol
Turtleneck
A turtle neck that could pull emergency duty as a brace.
Turtlebrace
