If you've worked in retail or the service industry, there's almost always a guy like this that likes to hang out and talk to the staff. He doesnt work there, he just likes the captive audience.
I used to work for a software company and there was one of these who would always come to every public event/demo we had in one particular city. When I first started I thought he worked for the local office. Nope! He just really loved having out with us for some weird reason.
I love the implied backstory to his relationship with the receptionist. Obviously he’s asked her out before and she let him down easy by saying “Sorry, I’ve got a boyfriend.” But because she doesn’t want him to become a menace, when he asks her for further info on her fictional beau, she tells him he’s police.
I used to work in a warehouse with a guy who’d say “Friday, eh?” and “I can almost taste that first beer already” all day every Friday. Yes, this was in Canada so picture that in the most stereotypical hoser accent possible.
Not long after Uni, back in the early aughts, I worked as an assistant designer for a firm in the retail display and trade show business, here in the PNW. Some of the guys in the metal fabrication department of that firm were like that. Unfortunately, one of those guys brought his weekend 🍻🍷 activities along with him on Monday, got a little rowdy with his co-workers, and wound up being escorted off of the premises by officers of the local police department.
I haven't watched this one in a while, but it's pretty fantastically put together. There MUST be at least two or three invisible cuts in here, no way Bruce puts on his Cathy gear and gets around Mark in time, nor for Scott to go from Kathy in the cubicle to Danny in the bathroom. But the whole thing feels like a single shot anyway.
When I had the chance to work from home some of the time, I made sure it was Fridays and Mondays. Nothing makes me want to lose my shit more than a dozen "Plans for the weekend?" "Have a good weekend!" "How was your weekend?" over and over and over again. It just makes me a feel like a massive loser because I don't have plans, but take things as they come. Now I don't have to hear it at all.
I hate how it just drives home that I am trapped in the rat race and the teeny sliver of a weekend is the only chance to catch up on life and enjoyment.
I actually always do it in the company Friday morning coffee breaks, just to find out how sad some of my colleagues are. Even though we are all working from home, we are expected to socialise remotely.
@@metislamestiza3708 😄Thanks.I hung in there for a couple of years, but I told them I didn't want my contract renewed at about the time I wrote my last comment. It was depressing working with those people (actually a couple were really ok, but most were soulless).
@@metislamestiza3708 I'm really sorry to hear about your past suffering, and its probable physiological effects. A constant and long term state of high stress can be a killer.

I feel for you Danny; it's always annoying when a coworker starts talking to you at the urinal. It always is the kind of conversation you'd simply walk away from under any other circumstance.
Probably wouldn't be an issue if men sat down on a toilet to tinkle like a normal human being instead of standing out in the open, wizzing away like a dog.

I actually used to work with a guy like this. He was totally oblivious to how everyone disliked him. They didn't hate him... they just found his childlike naivete annoying.
I came close to being that guy. Bruce mentioning the pen reminds me never to borrow a pen from Bruce. He'll go crazy trying to get it back from the borrower.
i hate it when people ask "so how was your weekend, do anything fun?" no, were adults, we dont have that privilege anymore scott, we pay bills and try to drown out the internal screaming by binge watching netflix shows with a tub of low fat unsweetened ice cream and a sixer of cheap beer as we take one step closer to death and financial ruin
No one really cares either. People ask and then when you start explaining your weekend itinerary their eyes glaze over and they don't even listen. I don't know why people even bother asking. Work relationships are so phony. I go to work, make as much money as I possibly can, and get the fuck out when the bell rings lol.
I like to mess with those types. By telling them I'm depressed and don't know what direction I'm heading. Then see if they care. Exposes thier b.s. gesture every time.
Yeah, it's me too. Self-awareness doesn't mean anything. Sometimes you just can't stop annoying people even if you know that is what you are doing. It might make you annoy them even more with nonsense babble.
Pretty sure that's when it happens. You can notice a slight shift in color, just as there is a small but noticeable hop in the wood grain and color when he goes into the "executive suites" shortly thereafter.
Reminds me of the Humphrey Bogart film, Dark Passage, where you see a 3rd of the movie from a first person point of view, then Bogart in bandages all over his face, finally last third, Bogart playing Bogart. Kinda funny homage perhaps.
They must have cut during the white wall shot right after Scott and Bruce were holding each other's hands. Because Scott is in the bathroom 5 seconds later.

Great comment.
It's not critical as much as it is a celebration of life and oddity.
Mark is perfect for those characters. See also: Darill
that is so well put.... nailed it
I like how most of his co-workers are still respectful and nice to him, even though it's obvious they feel uncomfortable and awkward talking to him.
Lol, because they some social skills/self-awareness and he obviously has little/no self-awareness or social skills.

"My father."

Hey, me too, lol!🙂👍
Wow. Every workplace has this guy...and it could be me...have a good weekend! 😄
Office Space before Office Space.
Have a good weekend!
Can you imagine being the Kevin Macdonald character who has to sit in that room with him all day long??
Every office has a Stan. Brilliant sketch.

It's all one shot

I love the match cut to the backyard with the elevator doors. Its so simple but adds such a great transition to the story. So awesome.
We've all met this guy at one point in our life
I laughed at the giant AT&❤logo on the wall behind the receptionist.... it's so big and lovely yet obscured. It's tragically brilliant... 2:43
That is an example of what I don't miss about the work world.
"8 o'clock. Pitter pater, let's get at er!"
So it's NOT just a Letterkenny thing.
Every office has that guy.
Stan is replaced by Colin Roberson as a energy vampire in What We Do in the Shadows .
oh. I miss watching this on Friday nights. Memories.
I’m the exact opposite of this guy. I literally walk out of work not saying goodbye to anyone lol
Same here, I sometimes can’t be bothered to say hello to everyone in the hall way four or fives times a day in passing that seems to be the trend.
@@danmaertens7872 its a place of work. I didn't want to socialize and make new "friends". Work and get out

@@lastnamefirst4035 it’s refreshing to hear all you say the same

3:34 Nothing like kicking back after a long week with a great view of the plain fence right in front of you.
Long live suburbia!
I see a red stapler in stan's near future
too funny...lol...These skits NEVER get old
This makes the Copacabana shot from Goodfellas look like amateur hour
1:15 he's in drag and that's not the joke. I love this show.
I love how he just bursts in on the meeting, haha.
:O
i love this show..never get bored of it...scott thompson is the best would be awesome to meet him one day
I love the look of utter loathing Lou gives this guy.

Yeah sales were down at AT & Love but I think it is still too early to blame it on the new logo.

Everyone has worked with a Stan. And it sucks but you still sign the card for his funeral.
they cut at 2:03, right where the camera face the white wall. That way you can't see the edit...brilliant!
Think they also cut at 1:00 ..... or Bruce is the world's fastest quick-change (clothes and makeup) artist
I made it to the weekend. What a fun Saturday I'm having.
seven guys had an average weekend

That first person perspective would look great in VR.
Mark is becoming my fav. He just gets inside these characters in an uncanny way.
At your office, look to your left, and then look to your right...if you don't see this guy, then it's you! 😆
That creepy laugh at 3:01
I felt for her there. That look of dread on her face. Christ was she happy when Stan bailed her out.
That was an excellent edit getting Scott Thompson from the office lady costume to the bathroom guy.
I never knew that Cathy and Kathie worked at the same place as Danny Husk.

"Lou" is one of the Dave's from Bruce's "The Dave's I Know".

Could you shut the door Stan? thanks
This is the greatest skit next to sausages lol 😂
Me not remembering anyone like this in any office I worked in, then I realized "oh, shit, am I the office weirdo?"
Me playing Red Dead Redemption 2 talking to the NPCs trying to boost up my honor
Cathy and Danny Husk LOL
"Oh. Oh Ya. Looks Weird. OK have a good weekend". lmao

Watch this every Friday at 4.50 pm in the office
Just think he's a manager at superstore now
Pretty sure that's when it happens. You can notice a slight shift in color, just as there is a small but noticeable hop in the wood grain and color when he goes into the "executive suites" shortly thereafter.
Multiple times he goes on about watching the hockey game, that night, but this clearly takes place in the middle of the summer.
Onoe of my favorites too. The Japanese lady real cute.
