You never know what it’s about though. I once had a supervisor who asked me to stay behind after everyone had left (in person meeting, not virtual, this was before Zoom). I got kinda nervous but turns out they just wanted to hit on me.
Notice how lances smug face immediately shatters when he was asked to stay after. I wonder what a personality hire could possibly have to be concerned about
I think he is totally aware that his comments are inappropriate and why, he’s just under the impression that he’s one of those people who can “get away with it.” That one line just brought all of that crashing down and now he knows he’s in deep water
Probably the fear of someone calling him out for being a try hard has him on edge. Just like a bad comedian being told they are not funny. I am ready to see a devastated face.
Yo, kinda unrelated to ur comment but why is ur pfp a communist republic icon with lgbgq flags in the background. No hate or anything just genuenly found it unusual enough
Yeah, I loved the three separate attempts to get Lance to shut up, with only the third being gloriously successful and satisfying: 1. You don't have to be here, enjoy your vacation. Failed! 2. Your mic is picking up a lot of noise, please mute it. Failed! 3. Please stay behind at the end...... Success!
@@chocknut5779 1. Arstotzka isn't explicitly communist-I've seen mant people interpret it differently (e.g. late capitalist) 2. In the game, there are a bunch of trans people who manage to cross the border just fine, so at the very least it's legal to be trans in Arstotzka! 3. I just like _Papers, Please_ lol
@@Agudnamenot sure if this was what they're going for, but I work in IT and Fridays are "read-only Friday". Because the possibility that an update or change breaks something over the weekend when we're not there
How thoughtless of the boss to ask him to stay on the line after when before he told Lance he wanted him to enjoy his time off and hop off at any time! What a toxic work environment!
I genuinely hate colleagues making innuendoes about how much substance abuse they do and how much sex they have in a lame attempt to remind us all they’re a rock star and not like the others. It’s very insecure and can make others quite uncomfortable.
you can see the gears turning in the head before he speaks. he’s not listening at all just thinking about what he will say and as soon as he’s done thinking he says it with no regard for what’s happening.
Plot twist: he's here at The Villages in Florida to visit his grandmother and there are so many more women than men because the women are octogenarian widows
Holy mother that was so cathartic lmao. I can imagine finishing up that business call and hanging up knowing that Lance is about to get BLASTED by a higher up
Can’t wait for him to get told he can’t constantly interrupt others and talk about alcohol and sex during meetings, only to „implement” those instructions by saying „Sorry to butt in here, Jeff, I hope you don’t mind” while interrupting and making even MORE obscure innuendos!
Lance is definitely one of those guys that "work in tech" and take advantage of the freebies, lunches and entertainment the company provides instead of doing actual work. Maybe the boss found out about this and that's why he wants to talk to him afterwards lol.
While this guy is hard to sit through, I do feel bad for him equating drinking and ogling other people with having a personality. I mean based on a lot of media around that's all it takes so it's not the furthest leap, still insufferable, 10/10
You can just tell this guy is stuck in his head talking to himself or imagining some scenario or what have you, not listening to the call hardly at all...until the end. 😂😂
This is like my struggle with watching the Boys, where the actor is so good with their portrayal of the worst person that my blood pressure starts to rise when they're not getting slapped around on screen. Thank you for also doing "Guy who was raised by his Grandparents," another flawless role of the best 'bless your heart' boy to help me ground myself, I truly have riled dog brain.
Please have the guy who thinks he's the personality hire meet the actual personality hire

Oh my gosh yes
This would be so good
this
This is actually one of the hardest characters to sit through
Yes what a terrible boss who overworks his workers despite 60% profits and still gives them crap over it. Worse character
Facts I can’t stand this character
I always watch ten seconds and then close the video lmao
I had to come back to it
Characters incredibly offputting
Agree it's hard to watch these ones
God the subtle panic on your face when your boss asks you to stay behind is potrayed perfectly here
frr 😭
💯💯
I mean it's the opposite of subtle. Great video, but you guys give it way more praise for things it's not even trying to do
His looking serious and setting aside the wineglass speaks volumes.

He’s about to get fired while on vacation
@@kiera6326He's definitely going to believe that people only don't like him because "people are too sensitive and PC these days!"
He was told he could hop off anytime. That would've been great time to hop off lol.
Mmmm, yeah. I hope his company rewards his great personality with a indefinite vacation.

DAMN 🔥
oh my GOD i'm stealing this one!!!!
wow gosh what strong wordings man
Goddamn smart man
The way he keeps the beer in frame almost 100% of the time you just KNOW he wants to gloat about being on vacation.
"Mmmm yeah....let's just say I wasn't just drinking _wine_ on this vacation. 😏 ...yeeeeaaah. 😬"
And I love how it disappears almost immediately after he gets asked to stay behind lol.......
Calling into work because he's embarrassed about how much his vacation sucks and how miserable he is without anyone to force to listen to him.
Props to the guy who came up with a believable excuse for him to mute his mic lol
Good writing for sure

“Company wide software update on Friday.” Don’t know if that was added on purpose but it made me laugh 💀
I don't get it
Crowdstrike happened last Friday
@@Agudnamenot sure if this was what they're going for, but I work in IT and Fridays are "read-only Friday". Because the possibility that an update or change breaks something over the weekend when we're not there

@@CatoonsNo it didn’t, that was debunked. Stop spreading misinformation

Yeah, talk about a mind-frick.
I genuinely hate colleagues making innuendoes about how much substance abuse they do and how much sex they have in a lame attempt to remind us all they’re a rock star and not like the others. It’s very insecure and can make others quite uncomfortable.
Sounds like someone who’s never gotten any…
It's simply immaturity- and in my experience it seems to stem from people who never mentally left high school.
@@user-N20 This. It's so fucking draining when people have absolutely nothing meaningful to say.
@@revanamell1791 yeah, silence can truly be a blessing.
@@ElephantWhisperer222
you can see the gears turning in the head before he speaks. he’s not listening at all just thinking about what he will say and as soon as he’s done thinking he says it with no regard for what’s happening.
The way I’m nearly salivating for this imaginary person to be fired lmao
He smirks as though he expects a laugh track to play after each line delivery ugh
After the meeting he wants to tell Lance what a great personality he has
Damn… what a cool guy! His coworkers are so lucky to have such an interesting work colleague!
Ikr! I mean, 60% women!
Can't wait for "The guy who thinks he's the 'personality hire' gets called in to HR"
Can we see a slappable jerk × noodles the pooch collab, pretty please? 🍿👀
HR: "I don't know why they want to fire you, you're great!"
I was actually thinking this is it for him
Lance deflating once he got called out had me CACKLING
I get second embarrassment so badly when I watch these videos…please continue 👏👏👏
Lance is in a city with 60% women?? Gosh, he is so WINNING! Get ready for that promotion after the meeting, big guy!! 😁
And yet none of them are in frame with him at any point. I guess he wore them all out with his personality and sexual prowess.
Plot twist: he's here at The Villages in Florida to visit his grandmother and there are so many more women than men because the women are octogenarian widows
Your vacation is our vacation, Lance. [boots him from the meeting]
His dramatic pauses and smirking are everything xd
Holy mother that was so cathartic lmao. I can imagine finishing up that business call and hanging up knowing that Lance is about to get BLASTED by a higher up
Joining the work call on vacation to show off hahaha
And he didn’t even need to be on the call. This is literally “ how you gonna get fired on your day off?”
I think what makes this extra hard is both suffering his presence and thinking what if 100% of your own jokes actually land this way.
The transition to smugness to being worried was so smooth!
"Company-wide software update on Friday"
Oh no... 😰
So they'd have the entire weekend to test it to make sure that nothing went horribly wrong? Or to fix it or do a rollback if something did?
@@Gillsing I'm pretty sure it's a reference to the software update that messed everything up last Friday lol 'uh-oh' is fitting.
It's the pauses like he's waiting for a laugh track or something
And then the cringe "yeah" to fill the awkward silence
My blood pressure rises every time you speak… Great job as usual 😂
I know we're all clowning on lance but can we give some props for the crowd strike reference with the big Friday software update at the end.
I made it to 0:49 before having to hop off. God I love these and hate them at the same time
Lmaoo same
I wish at the very least the boss had mentioned that it's not appropriate to drink alcohol in a meeting
I audibly groaned when I got the notification for this video, splendid work as always
I'm actually tensing up so much seeing him think of something 'cool' to say. Lord help me. This character is in another league
This guy is so good at portraying the most unlikeable characters ever!
I definitely want to hear the after everyone else logs off the phone call conversation
Watching the grin just knowing he’s about to say something is agony 😂
This is the only character where I physically can't bring myself to sit through a video. Good job!
If Lance is smart, he'll remember that he's ‘free to hop off any time’ before he has to ‘stay on the line’ after the end of the meeting.
He makes the best facial expressions. lol
Ooooh the boss wanting "the talk." That sobered him up (if he was even drunk).
His mood changed like the weather
I think this might be your best character yet. You portray these types of people so well.
GOD the only way I can get through your videos is because you are such an incredible creator.
I love how he doesn't know what time it is there, but is able to join the call on time
Extra slappable, just how I like em 🤌🏽🤌🏽
This dude must be an hr nightmare
Those last few seconds were delicious.
Finally he's getting in trouble
It seems that the guy who thinks he’s the “personality hire” is also the guy who thinks alcoholism is a personality
Can’t wait for him to get told he can’t constantly interrupt others and talk about alcohol and sex during meetings, only to „implement” those instructions by saying „Sorry to butt in here, Jeff, I hope you don’t mind” while interrupting and making even MORE obscure innuendos!
“Please, enjoy your time off” = please, dear God please I want to enjoy your time off
OHHHHH what a treat at the end, thank you so much Mr manager guy
Lance dialing into a company meeting while on vacation. That’s dedication
I love how his attitude suddenly shifts when he was asked to stay after xD He knew he got himself into trouble this time
Your expressions are actually so slappable 😭
Lance is definitely one of those guys that "work in tech" and take advantage of the freebies, lunches and entertainment the company provides instead of doing actual work. Maybe the boss found out about this and that's why he wants to talk to him afterwards lol.
"There's gonna be a software update on Friday...."
I can never finish the personality hire videos, i’m too weak
The ability to observe and recreate and play the worst types of people is amazing. Genuinely takes a lot of social/self awareness
We don’t often get such cliffhangers. Interesting. The way his stupid face changes to concern is perfect.
I was expecting him to turn out to be even drunker and have decided it was a good idea to join the call
The plot thickens in the personality hire saga.
Now he’s about to become the personality fire
This guy is so good in this role.
The personality hire is getting personally fired
God I'd love to see all his Co-Workers talking about him behind his Back, must be glorious.
This guy definitely emphasizes the curse words when he sings along to a song and then glances at you to see if you’re impressed.
This is so damn in the nose that I was immediately triggered by a toxic coworker that exactly like this. I had to shut it off after 10 seconds.
Waiting for him to cut his boss off in the middle of something important is like edging but in a bad way
LOL this guy is my favorite character other than Teddy 🤣
I don’t know what a personality hire is and at this point I’m too afraid to ask
Someone hired because of their soft skills (being fun, personable, leadership ability, empathy) etc more than their technical skills.
@@lettylunasical4766so they do nothing but get away with it because they have good social skills
This is the first one I actually couldn't watch
Nice, he wants to hear more about Lance's vacation
the way I literally had to brace myself once he was about to speak ughhh
While this guy is hard to sit through, I do feel bad for him equating drinking and ogling other people with having a personality. I mean based on a lot of media around that's all it takes so it's not the furthest leap, still insufferable, 10/10
I actually almost couldn't sit through this it was so painful.
The best recurring character
lance makes me feel second hand embarrassment for him bruh 💀💀💀
Sounds like he’s about to be the personality fire lol
The joke about the software update is hilarious lmaooooo
His manager is so nice 🥰
You can just tell this guy is stuck in his head talking to himself or imagining some scenario or what have you, not listening to the call hardly at all...until the end. 😂😂
The "not like the others" 14 year old vibes from a grown adult man with a corporate office job is just bewildering.
Sir I BEG OF THEE…..I need to hear the talk after the meeting
are we finally gonna see him fired 🥰
The ending made sitting through it worth it.
I was REALLY hoping he would accidentally reveal to everyone he is calling in from his backyard
Not sure how I landed in this white collar job video….i cannot relate. I can relate to that beer but not in a wine glass? 😂
This one makes me feel sorry for him and concerned for his mental health 😢
Why does lance do the redditor facial expressions... I sense a connection here
Am I the only one who was excited to hear revenue is up 60%? I feel like we earned it!
This is like my struggle with watching the Boys, where the actor is so good with their portrayal of the worst person that my blood pressure starts to rise when they're not getting slapped around on screen.
Thank you for also doing "Guy who was raised by his Grandparents," another flawless role of the best 'bless your heart' boy to help me ground myself, I truly have riled dog brain.
And they never actually say anything funny or interesting, but they think they're hilarious 😂
Dear God, please don’t ever let this be me.
Having to pause after literally every sentence he speaks. This is diabolical.
THE CROWDSTRIKE JOKE IM DYING
I have to watch this character and this one only at 2x speed. Good job with them lol
