I'd watch a horror movie where a normal dude is trying to escape a universe where everyone is Ryan George and figuring out how to do life.
It would be a comedy-horror movie.
and all the Ryan Georges slowly start to realize this normal dude isn't another Ryan George and start hunting him down.
Yeah Hollywood banger
Yess
Ryan should make that with an other creator for some subscriber milestone
I got to sit in on a manager meeting and hear the HR person talk about how "some people have this unrealistic expectation that they deserve to get raises just because cost of living increases" and even the managers were like "No actually everyone has that expectation, and it's not silly"
Sometimes I legitimately wonder if people like that are actually humans or poorly programmed chatbots. Then I realize it would be cheaper to just hire sociopaths with bachelor degrees.
HR reps are all literally going to hell for the BS they put everyone through
HR is the devil
*you walk off
Manager: alright he's gone, keep those wages down or you're fired.
HR people are a special breed.
Oh God, the immediate desaturation once they're inside the office hits way too close to home... You can feel your life being sucked out of your body by this place. X'D
It's actually quite a subtle desaturation too, which goes to show how impactful the setting itself is. Most of what you're seeing is just the difference being in a shitty office makes.
Ex Apostrophe Dee?
Warehouses and factories are designed to suck out your soul as well. They don't even paint the walls in those damn places. You get lots of hard gray surfaces, poor air circulation, no a/c or heating, greater amount of safety hazards, and loud, repetetive noises in most. In the majority I've worked in, they didn't even allow headphones.
@@Hamburgers4Haiti You're right. As depressing as offices and office cubicles may be they aren't as bad as warehouses, factories and even laboratories ( Laboratories I have worked in don't allow photos or any sign of outside life whatsoever. They too can be very loud and sterile and sad places to spend your life away. ) Let's face it - places of employment, for many of us, are generally all places that suck all that makes life good out of us. Its that darned paycheck that keeps us coming back.
Ryan just watched Office Space.
I love how Ryan has the ability to make what we do sound absurd and funny at the same time but also depress the living crap out of me knowing that this is our life....
@@paddor this is not a bot i decided
@@paddor 🤣🤣🤣
What? What are you smoking man?
To be fair, he's only making it sound absurd and depressing because it is absurd and depressed, you just got used to it.
Yeah I had an epiphany of this whole thing right out of college, ended up crying my way through my first office job. Turns out I just hated being alone in front of a computer all day. It's much saner when you're sharing an area with other people. Of course my nephew had the SAME epiphany after college and became a burnout drunky restaurant worker with a 4-year physics degree...
I feel cheated, I came here to laugh not to get depressed at how real this was.
Well you know what they say “comedy=tragedy+time”
I know right, I can really relate to Florpflap in the ad segment at the end.
Glad Ryan is getting paid well for his life, and hopefully can afford many days of enjoying things like air and friends and good times.
This comment is funny i decided
I bet he enjoys his bathroom breaks quite a bit also 🙃
sorry i can't like this comment, it's at 420 likes
But how much is George being payed?
who wants to see my orifice?
"No thank you I'm using my life right now"
possibly the greatest line in cinema history
As someone who works in a office, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this one!
Put this in a company wide email.
Yes
Cry .... and slap the HR and file a resignation.
Weep, then use the pain to become a real life version of Green Goblin. The Willem Dafoe Green Goblin. It'll make a great movie.
Laugh while your standing, cry when your in bed thinking about the next work day
"You son of a gun."
"My father was a gun."
And now we know. That's not a metaphor in Ryanverse.
It's not a metaphor here, either, it's bowdlerism. It's more 'wrong' to use the word for a female dog than it is to name your interlocutor's mother one.
@@boobah5643 "Son of a gun" is an actual phrase that is used, even if it is a Bowdlerism. It's not terribly common these days but it's real.
@@fighteer1 well, if it's real, I'm in!
I did not understand this reference because I always skip the adverts... well done for making me willingly subject myself to one!
The best feeling I've had all year: My office spaced moved five times farther away than the previous spot. I asked for a hundred more bucks a month just to get eaten up in gas and then probably a bit more. Got told no. Said cool I'm gonna be working from home now. Got told no again. Said cool again and that I was gonna be working from home. Started working from home. Didn't get fired yet. It's been five months. Stay strong, cube people.
Now that I think about it, the pandemic is probably the best thing that could've happened to most office workers, which is just so depressing.
That you Milton?? 😆🤣😂
@@GeoKnowLearning They pushed him too far when they took his favorite stapler!
I will just stay home all the time now I decided
You're basically my hero now. Respect.
Anyone else use Ryan's videos as a pallette cleanser? Whenever I need to stop thinking of the news or toxic shit or just stress, I come over here because I know his vids are full of sunshine and goofiness with never a mean bone in them (even if the topic is about the depressing realities we face). It helps me sleep at night.
Same here. His takes on the ridiculous nature of our society are the small pockets of sanity I need.
Or when I need to decompress from work.
I like his videos because they're really really funny
They're really awesome
Thats the most depressing way of saying the videos are funny ever
"That sounds like a scam!"
"No, it doesn't."
"Yeah, that's a good point."
Ryan George is at it again, I just decided.
I used to work in an office setting like this but for a Customer Service center for a bank….not only did I get to be tightly squeezed next to other people but we also got screamed at all day. Those bathroom breaks were everything. Love this sketch 🤣 It’s so refreshing to see people finally calling out the fact that office jobs literally suck the life out of us and we deserve so much better as humans
Wait! Those aweful looking workpaces are still in use? That's depressing.
You know that you can quit your job anytime and actually learn a trade? Nobody forced you to work an office job.
I would suggest that you quit what you're doing and come join us working in a restaurant, where you can get screamed at all the time, still cherish all the bathroom breaks AND be on your feet for 8 hours doing actual physical work, but, something tells me you'd rather not :P
@@deedsofdecapitation7477 I feel like you're forgetting that just "getting a different job" is more complicated than simply learning a new skill. You have to account for pay, availability, location, qualifications, time, interests, etcetera.
@@KingNedya Sure, but the point is to illustrate that nobody forced that person to work an office job in the first place, and it seems like they made poor life decisions in regards to their career path, and now want to complain about it, instead of getting a construction job, learning actual functional skills, and then later creating your own business with it. I know that particular person wouldn't last a day working a construction job, and would rather sit in an AC office all day, complaining about how his job is "sucking the life out of them".
“That sounds like a scam”
“No it doesn’t”
“That’s a good point”
There’s always at least one quote that needs to be quoted
This was the one that got me-- I'm paraphrasing here.
"And I assume if the cost of living goes up that you'll compensate me accordingly?"
"Oh, God no!"
That is so American.
Left office life at 29, and I'm never looking back. It was still better than being a server at restaurants, but 10 years of working for myself now, and this clip has only solidified that even the roughest days are still better than being in a cubicle, lol.
I dont even work yet but I can already feel the dread
@@BlightCosmos same
Worked in a law firm for a while -suit and tie everyday, got in early and left late.
Now work in academia - wear what I want, flexible hours and surplus annual leave.
@@IndigoIndustrial I swear academics just work better in comfy clothes. One of my professors always wears comfy sweaters, one wears the same outfit like every week and one even showed up to teach in sweatpants a while back. Then there's the academic director that often wears merch shirts. They always seem very informal and relaxed and their lectures are so much better than the few extremely boring ones I've attended from professors that wore formal clothes
@@Alicia-zf3nq Research clothing is NOT tight!
Always dropping the truth bombs. Thank you Ryan for explaining things in a way that even politicans can understand.
Politicians are in favour of this. It’s called capitalism. The owners (capitalists) get money just because workers are forced to work for less money than than they generate.
This is why leftists say capitalists are parasites.
@@Wimikk Of course workers will be paid less then they generate. But the point is that many companies now are not paying a fair wage, which is the issue. Capitalism in it self is not to blame, but the greed of CEO's are.
@@5punkt5 The greed of capital IS capitalism; you’re describing “markets.” In a system that demands maximum profit growth, a “non-greedy” CEO would not get to be a CEO for very long, would they?
Markets can exist outside of capitalist greed. Markets are made freer and more accessible for more people when they include organized labour unions, strong government policy that constrains exploitative business practices, and high taxation of capital in order to provide a strong and healthy working class economy. This is what happened in the 1950s and why they produced such a massive boom in wealth across class lines throughout the West, just 20 years after the New Deal.
You can call it “regulated capitalism” if you want, but the important part is the regulation that takes power away from the robber-barons and landlords and gives that power to the workers.
@@Wimikk I disagree. I think companies can very easily pay fair wages and should be forced to do so. Greed and capitalism do not have to go hand in hand. You can have growth without greed.
@@5punkt5
That sounds like a nice slogan, but can you really have “growth without greed?” Why is it that billionaires, with a higher net worth than some countries, never seem to use that vast wealth to end hunger or homelessness?
Watching this on my lunch break literally made me want to grab 5 things from my office and never come back....I'm torn between laughing and crying. Thank you Ryan George for questioning my livelihood. The only worse thing is making us pay a different depressing building thousands of dollars to go work in another building only to pay off the the first place......
You’re sure it’s your lunch break? You’re not just watching this video in the sanctuary of peace and tranquility?
@Michael Lochlann But there's no need for it to be quite so miserable an experience.
Do it.
That's how it starts! The ... waitforit ... RYANVOLUTION!
Compared to the "open office" floor plans, where there's no personal workspace or privacy at all, a cubicle is heaven.
Depends on the worker I guess 🤔 🤷🏾♂️
Agreed
My last place switched over the more open plan white hexagon desk pods we had into grey cubicles. Privacy is a pro, I suppose, but I couldn't hate it more.
Yea the open plans are miserable. I'm glad that trend is dying.
I should have said "IMO", for sure! ;) But really, I've turned down work at open-plan places. It's just soul-crushing for me to have no moments of privacy at all.
As someone who works in an open office environment, I'd love to have a cube.
imagine: your proper, EXECUTIVE wall! Three walls in fact!!! No one is moving in your peripheral vision! OMG, the ancestors lived in luxury.
It would be like having your own mini-office! And we don't even have our own desks anymore.
Same here. I once worked not only in open office, but also in a hot desk system, so desks were assigned randomly on daily basis, and you had to start the day by cleaning afeter the last user, setting up the monitor and so on + all the inconvinces of open space. That was a horrible year to work.
Now I am a third year on home office, my productivity is higher than ever, and I also have more time for myself.
Ryan single-handedly keeps the fake mustache industry in business!
Brilliant video as always!
The left side of the mustache was way twitchier than the right.
Wearing fake moustaches is tight! 😁
I couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry because this is so accurate. Reminds me of a job I had a couple years ago.
"Yeah we know you've been excelling in this completely remote position for over a year now to the point where we're using the work you're doing as part of the curriculum to train our new hires but we're going to require you to be back in the office full-time starting next month!"
"Wait why are you applying for other jobs??"
Ryan George is probably the funniest alive person on UA-cam. I love how his sketches always make the world seem so weird and chaotic.
The way he talks in his videos makes it even more hilarious as well.
And shameless plug...
I'm also hoping some of you might like the music that I make...:)
You mean how his sketches reveal how weird and chaotic the world really is?
@@sogpop Yeah that's a more accurate description of it 😅
@@PaintingWinterMusic You had us in the first half, not gonna lie
That's some big boots to fill but honestly I agree
This whole skit is so spot-on. We spend at least 8 out of 24 hours a day working, and another 8 sleeping. Assuming we don't work weekends, that's more than half of our adult life wasted just trying to keep being an alive person.
Well, being alive does cost money.
Pretty sure keeping yourself alive isn't "wasting".
What most people do with the remaining hours is, though.
@@jdfree49 being exploited is quite the waste of time tbh.
@@jdfree49 BINGO.
People act like sitting on a beach drinking all day is "living". As if that's the final goal in life, just to feed your hedonism.
Do something meaningful, I say. Whether that's your job or your family, or something else.
Time sleeping isn't wasted, it's an essential time where our bodies repair and keep themselves functional, and our brains connect and catalogue our memories. We just don't value it because we don't remember much of it.
At my work we don’t even have cubicles, we have desks set up like we are in school. The management insists it’s so it’s easier for everyone to collaborate, but NOBODY EVER TALKS.
It's hilarious that those that work in a modicum of privacy extol the virtues of having no privacy.
except some managers that talk on the phone for everyone to hear
Maybe it has something to do with how everyone can overhear the conversation!
Maybe it's because management makes a hobby out of manipulative lying = the core of why I'm not in management.
So do we want a funny video or a depressing one?
Ryan: Yes
This man’s videos are basically just free antidepressants
Edit: I rescind my previous statement. This is painfully true :(
It's true, yet while also often pointing out the depressing nature of our reality. Better to laugh than cry!
@@kaptcha
whynotboth
Yeah, all you gotta do is click on his creations labeled as videos and experience the hundreds of pictures flash before your eyes coupled with noises from vibrating machinery inside of a thing called a device that you use to view the hundreds of pictures of him doing specific actions. It's super easy, barely an inconvenience I decided.
ANTIdepressants?
Probably better for you too.
If my man keeps making content this relatable, look out world... Dude's going to take over the internet.
"let me buy your life,"
this is the most unfortunately true part of existence
also, he says, "I'm not gonna show you my butthole," at exactly 1:00, genius
Haha it's true. If I'm honest, the happiest I've ever been in my life was just living out of my backpack. I sort of wonder sometimes why we are expected to change that and just give away our less than a decade of literal existence to make someone else's existence rich.
@@Sahiyena11 because someday you might not want to be still living out of a backpack?
Of course if you come up with a neat idea that you can get other people to give you money for and can put in all the hard work to make it happen then you can hire people to do that thing for you and make you a lot of money so you can spend more time living out of a backpack.
@@AndyDillbeck Yeah, I did some Wwoof work in Hawaii when I was like 22 because I wasn't ready yet still to jump into college and get that sweet crippling debt. I knew a couple folks who managed to jump that off into a sweet lick. I'm thinking what I'm not gonna do is work for somone else at this point. Looking into setting up a way I can set my own pace.

Especially if ur black during 1700
I like how the Ryans actually got more dull when they got to the orifice.
Too many colors are distracting?
it's because they are not in the sun anymore
I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed!
Yeah I noticed! It's like they are slowly slipping away from the happy, cheerful world they used to live in.
It's been 5 years since I last worked an office job, and it STILL hurts to watch this.
12 years for me and it's still traumatic to remember the cube farm
the first office was set in liminal spaces which was the brief internet fad of showing pictures without anyone in them in the mid 2021’s, i decided.
Hey OT
think he hired that guy because he was outstanding in his field? =X
@@julialasseguarde5798 🤣😆😭
"Well I don't want to work in your office. I think it would be more rewarding to spend my entire life hunting gathering and cooking with a fire with my family."
"See those guys?" **Points to 80 heavily trained soldiers**
Isn't it a bit ironic that you were so careful to avoid seeing a butt hole when you first came in, but living in those little boxes will likely eventually lead you to photocopy your own and then show it to the other people who have sold their lives as well?
Hi Clint over your videos!
Clint, stop watching Ryan and make more Dinosaur videos :@
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wait what
That doesn't really happen... does it?
When you go from laughing at how accurate, true, and real this is...to just being sad because of how accurate, true, and real this is.
I know.
What is sad, is that I play these with my young son. And here I am wanting him to study so he can one day get an office job like I did. I guess the alternative can be worse.
While normally I love everything you make, this one just hit too hard.
Thanks for doing and sharing these. Makes my day. Laughter is the best medicine.

Boss Ryan: "I need you to make me a TON of money, and then I'll give you a teeny tiny bit of it."
This is painfully accurate.
Yeah, that will HAVE to change eventually. One way or another. But none of us will live to see it.
It's not accurate at all. Average corporate profit margin is about 7%. And their largest expense is almost always personnel.
@@SeraphsWitness That's because the CEO is getting all the money, and he counts as "personnel".
It is painfully INaccurate. No decent-sized company's worker payroll isn't orders of magnitude larger than its executive compensation.
The lie comes from comparing the total compensation of executives to that of the tiny slice of the workforce that is one worker. The worker keeps the majority of the benefit of his own work while management gets a tiny slice.
But there are a lot of tiny slices, and they add up.
I hate these types of comments. You think you deserve millions of dollars by doing a job a computer can do? You carry boxes and its unfair that the CEO is making millions? This idiotic mindset is infuriating
As someone working in industrial facilities for decades, the cubicles "come and go". We put them in to "improve" productivity, then take them out to "improve productivity" it's hilarious! I have about 2 or 3 more decades of cubes going in and out of style before I can move and go see my family again. Yay work!
Ryan points out exactly what's wrong with the modern society in less than 4 minutes!!
"Lemme buy your life."
As an Administrative Assistant, I confirm that's exactly what happened the moment I started this job.
It's capitalism 101.
You always make me laugh. I hope you keep making content.
There's no way you're not a bot
Honestly, I'm just horrified.
He has to in order to make money to survive
It’s better than the alternative of a rap career
"its his job, isnt it"
I was literally just told in a company meeting that we won’t be getting cost of living raises this year because the economy is so unstable and they can’t just hand out raises…. So I felt that last bit in my bones
What type of industry do you work for?
@@cosesu8929 insurance
You don't have to answer anymore if you don't want to, but...
Is it a local, multi-state, or national insurance company?
I'm just trying to get a feel if the CEO or someone of upper management might have gotten a raise, or at least has a 6 figure or even 7 figure salary, yet they can't give you one. Insurance is a profitable business after all. If it's big enough.
Don't get me wrong if it's not one of the big companies, and/or the CEO or upper management actually put in the years of work and dedication to get where they are, I'm all for them having the big salaries. But if it's due to nepotism or a good ole boys system...
Of course I don't expect you to know
@@cosesu8929 it’s in the top 100 on the Fortune 500. They’re being selfish
I worked in automotive collision. Since the insurance companies only paid roughly $35/hour to repair a vehicle I could work forever and never earn more than that hard ceiling. I left pretty quickly to a industry that isnt a scam like insurance work.
"Let me buy your life"
"No thank you im using it right now"
LMAO
I love that
everything about this is literally why I hate the idea of having to work all my time just to survive.
If I could live longer I would be fine with it. But how am I supposed to only live once for around 76 years and accept having the majority of my time as a sentient stolen away in an endless loop of mindless exhaustion and miserable recovery? How has this not changed when literally every person in retirement ever has deep regrets about the prime time of their life?
I just don’t see how this system works.
@@atlas4733 Because the alternative is living in a forest and using 100% of your waking hours just to survive, this way you get to keep a small % of them
Anyway, we might have a solution, with how automation and AIs are going to reduce the amount of work that humans have to do, of course, everyone hates that thought because they are going to "lose their jobs", that always makes me think that humans can't look more than 3 feet in front of them, though that might be the right thing to do, considering how they can't plan ahead for more than 2
@@atlas4733 it only works because people accept it. And people accept it because the sad truth is majority of people are sheep.
That’s because we’re not supposed to lol
@@witchykittyy uh, yes we are. We’ve had to work for literally EVERYTHING we have. If it’s not toiling in a field for our bread, it’s doing something else for your water.
I started this trek as a staff accountant, got certified after passing CPA & got the office, more money and more hours, less free time. did this for 5 years and quit. now I work for myself (not using my degree) and make less, but much happier…this is a fair assessment of the typical American office, from cube up
So damn true it hurts, but I treasure Ryan George's gift of laughing through tears with thousands of other people.
I cannot express how astute and poignant this sketch is with just a single like. My last employer took away our cubicles and personal space, gave us these tiny "desks" (pretty sure they weren't big enough to qualify as a desk. More like a shelf) crammed them as close together as possible - we're talking bumping chairs - then fired me for not being productive 😐
More people need to see this. Thank you!

@@ShadeAKAhayate Dude that's North Korea not South
I like how Ryan's videos always take a commonplace, totally accepted situation, and bring all of the details to the forefront in which if we actually looked at it this clear-eyed in the beginning, we'd be crazy to participate. I've actually been frustrated for years at how I spend way more waking time at work than I do with my family. That facet of work, if nothing else, should be illegal.
"Hey, I wanna buy your life."
Just right off the bat with that, I wasn't ready for it to get so real so fast.
As someone who literally almost passed out (like actual, legs buckle, collapse and lose consciousness) not even half an hour ago while forcing myself to power through the last hour of shift before I get lunch and then go home, and thinking how much I hate it and want to quit, this........ just... It highlights every single thought I have ever had about work ever. Which is why I never stay at a job I am displeased with longer than 6 months. Shortest stint was one month. Longest was 3 years but only because I was making decent enough money to deal with hating it. Yeah. Feels rougher to keep being an alive person these days. What with the cost of being an alive person going up but pay not going up. I work two jobs, up at 5 am and get home at anywhere from 9pm-midnight.
Edit: I would just like to say, I am loving all the comments. You all are voicing thoughts I have had for so long, and just, yes. Exactly. 💯 corporate America is the problem. Unliveable wages are the problem. Having to sacrifice sleep just to survive, yes, all of that. You guys rock, I am so glad to finally hear some likeminded thinkers. I'm only on this grind until I get my degree and that gives me the ability to become my own boss. : ) I cannot wait.
Seems sensible rational and acceptable good thing you live in a free country based on liberty and money is totally real and ought to be a thing. Work all day or starve to death = Freedom.
Yeah that's kinda why there's no point in working anywhere that doesn't have a decent union. At least my union ensures my pay goes up by inflation + 3% every year so we're not sliding backwards like just about everyone else in the western world right about now.
I think you are just basically killing yourself with those two jobs and no time for sleep. And the price is living is up coz oil companies decided they like taking more money for the same amount of product. And coz housing market is a scam.
Hunter gatherers work 20 hours a week.
Medieval peasants weren't allowed to work on holy days. And there were a lot of holy days.
It's no wonder the average modern person is falling apart. We aren't built for this lifestyle at all.
@Michael Lochlann True, but humans are biologically hunter gatherers. We still aren't designed for the office worker lifestyle. And numerous diseases have been shown to be caused by excessive working.
Studies show we have around 3 hours of being productive a day, and the rest is spent trying to look busy. We are wasting our lives for absolutely nothing.
After all the skits and pitches, the line "my father was a gun" is what gets me everytime
Now do an open concept office as the sequel. I’ve worked in both and somehow not having a cube is worse!
Same. I went from open concept to cubicle and was actually THANKFUL for the cubicle…until my boss started hanging over it to talk to me like a farmer leaning into a sheep pen.
1:39 So genuine. And there's still no answer.
This...legit made me finally start freelancing. Thanks for scaring me into responsibility, Ryan!
Unfortunately the fundamentally "gig economy" nature of freelancing has a fundamental incompatibility with the hard-everyday constraints of real life such as "would like to eat". But hey, more power to you as long as it works out...
I love how this reminded me of how much I miss having a cubicle but also am glad I can work at home. With my dog and window.
This was actually a very accurate description of a “bathroom” 3:08
You should do "The First Guy To Invent Funerals", that shiiii would be hilarious
These videos show that Ryan is at his core, creative.
And damn good at it, too.
ok.
Ironically working in places which still uses cubicals is just awesome.
It is normal- you are at work, you go home.

I spent 3 years in a cube, it was miserable. The building was a converted chips factory, and bland, and gave me allergies. The tile above me was water stained, I think from a bathroom leak. There was this constant hum of forced air as well, like being in a plane. Lastly, there were no windows.
Insane!
rarely Ryan's sketch hits close to home but this one is genuinely depressing
Imagine you're in the Ryanverse and you're standing in a field, enjoying your hot energy drinking stuff. Suddenly another person, who has the same face as you but dressed a little different, comes up to you and tells you their idea for a new profession, holiday, activity or social custom. You have no choice but to listen, as you know that you are now in a Ryan George sketch.
The cost of living part was spot on!
Those cubicles used as a background actually have more storage space than our whole room in the office O_O
I love how the lighting changes to match the scene. Subtle, but shows how much effort is put into these videos!
This sketch makes me both happy and incredibly depressed as is typical for me on a day to day basis.
Thank you. The happy is refreshing.
Never stop making these, along with the Pitch meetings. They're all brilliant and you're hilarious Ryan. I have to laugh at these to keep from crying at the truth. 😭🤣
Ahh, the cubicles. My husband longed for the cubicles when they went to pods…then longed for the pods when they went to a long table. Now he works from home and said he didn’t feel safe to go back to the long table when they said it was time. He’s still working from home
Them talking about the cubicles is my company trying to get us back in office after working from home for 2 years lol. That lack of raises to meet inflation really hit too 😅
*sigh* We're all prisoners.
You have no idea
Just want to say kudos to George Ryan for staying faithful. Stay strong lad. Don't be distracted by whatever orifice someone offers you.

You know Ryan....sometimes...your videos hit real close to home
This might be your most spot-on video yet! So damn funny, depressing and bang on.
This is one of the most accurate things ive ever seen lololol thanks for another much needed dose of laughs as always Ryan 😁
"Maybe dress up a little!"
"For who?!"
That never made any sense to me either
Literally watching this in an office bathroom! Thanks for making my day Ryan

You absolutely slayed this one, Ryan!! This is the hardest I have laughed since my last conversational interaction with a hilarious friend.
In reality you'd be lucky to even have a cubical, in most offices everyone is just in open space with only a desk.
I've never had an office job but damn do I feel this
feel like a fun follow up is bosses trying to get office workers to come back to work from home, for no reason.

"C'mon follow me, I'll show you my office."
"Wha-? Oh-haha noo, no thank you."
"What?"
"I'm in a relationship buddy, no thank you."
"Okay? Why does that matter?"
"Well it matters because I'm not gonna follow you and let you show me your *oRoPhOuS* ."
"No-er-ah- I said *office* , that's what I'm calling this place I decided."
"Buddy, call it whatever you want, I'm staying faithful."
"It's not anything gross, *it's just this place I want you inside of* ."
What no way you watched the video too???
I watch this dude once and he’s all over my recommended.
I’m thankful.
Watching your videos are super easy barely an inconvienience!
I don't work in an office environment but I have always wondered how the whole cubicle culture started.
Dont think its particulary complicated. Some evil rich person realiced that if they reduced the work space they could cram as many people as possible in the same room. And that, if they put wall in between each mini-work space, they could get away with forcing the workers to work without any distractions with the excuse of giving them "personal space". Its just a natural conquence of rampant capitalism.
This hits hard. There's nothing more incongruous to life, then life itself...
Washroom breaks actually were the best part of my working career.
Ah, yess...
the extra long shit breaks
and the stall jerkys. 😅
I remember. 🥴
3:46 - Hey! doesn't that alien OWN Nord VPN? ... Whoops! Whoopsie!
This is almost exactly what my old office looked like lol.
I've never worked in an office and this made me feel pretty happy about that
I love how the whole color tone gets dull once they get to the wonderfully lit office
