For all the experts out there who can do absolutely anything they're asked to, this is the ideal garment for your office battles.
I think I know what's the problem with his boss. His left brain has nothing right and his right brain has nothing left.
In that case, i think his biggest problem would be having two brains.
Hahaha, good one
this pun is definitely underated
That is an awesome saying left has nothing right and the right has nothing left, brilliant!
Peace and love
LMAO!
“When you’re dead, you don’t know you’re dead. The pain is only felt by others. The same thing happens when you’re stupid.” - Ricky Gervais
ROFL!
Awesome quote!
taking this
Is this too many words for a t-shirt? Brilliant!
I have another: "Stupid if forever. Ignorance can be fixed." - that's from me
Just changed the words dead with stupid lol
I had a boss who kept calling me to his office to ask why our work was being delayed. I told him I was constantly being interrupted and called away. He told me to ignore all calls until I was done. Several unanswered calls later, he came storming onto the floor, demanding why I wasn't answering his calls. This really happened.
"Well, I didn't mean ignore MY calls!"
Same thing with the lab. Doctor calls and asks why wasn't the urinalysis not done or the specimen not ran...I'm like I am putting in the results or we got it five minutes ago so it'll be a while. Constant calls about this and that when I am trying to do work. I just wanted to reach into the phone and slap them.

?
I did have a colleague, who attended about 30 (not kidding) status meetings every week, explaining why the projects are behind the schedule. He was expected to attend each and every of those meetings, despite the answer was always the same...
@@sombrero8989 Dude was prob there long enough to start receiving mail at that address.
As an actual engineer, this whole "The Expert" series is so frustrating to watch.
And yet I can totally relate. People who hear and use words, with no idea of their meaning.
I'm an engineer and I can totally relate to this. It happens all to frequently, but luckily the idiots that do this rarely last long.
@@robertroy1435 what type of engineer are you
I trained in mining engineering but I ended up as a engineering project manager, which is why I can relate. It's not uncommon to have clients who have no idea how a design is accomplished so frequently make contradictory assumptions and requests. It's especially annoying when it's another engineer.
@@robertroy1435 Mining engineering? Never heard that, however cool stuff.
@@superbros1690 that is exactly what I said to the 4th year mining eng student I was standing in line on my first day of university. I mean exactly. LOL.
Very cool stuff especially the explosives.
This reminds me of a real world situation with a client which happened about 15 years ago. It goes like this: I had been called to troubleshoot a problem with a server. We were not allowed remote access, we had to work onsite and literally in the server room with a KVM (remember those?). The server room was a literal 5 minute walk from the incident room the client had set up with about 10 different people attending to talk about the impacts and the workaround they were trying. You get the idea.
The client told me that it was mandatory for me to provide an update on progress every 15 minutes until the problem was resolved. I had to give the update in the incident room to the crash team and, I recall being told this very clearly... the update about progress 'is more important to us than actually diagnosing or fixing the issue. You MUST give these updates every 15 minutes no matter what'.
What then commenced was a sequence of me giving an update, which took about 1 minute. Walking or running to the server room in the building across the street (5 mins). Signing into the room (security calling to check the incident number allowed access - every time) and going through an air cleaning space (2 mins). Me looking at the server logs and trying to figure out what was wrong with the daft thing (1-2 minutes). Me leaving the server room and proceeding back to the incident room (5 mins). Me giving the next update based on about 90 seconds of actual work. As the updates were virtually useless more people began to ask questions.... this mean that it would have been time to give the next udpate by the time I arrived outside the server room - so I just had a coffee in the incident room until it was time for the next update. Those idiotic people never even thought to themselves that I had not left, they just pitched up and wanted the next update all the same.
I tried to explain the problem to the incident manager, but all I would get is a 'well I cant get a closer incident room', or a 'maybe you could phone the update in?' (no phone in the server room where I needed it and too noisy anyway). Eventually, realising this was going no-where I falsely blamed the issue on the companies own internal networks team and demanded that someone senior from that team accompany me to the next update them come with me to see the evidence of the problem in the server room. They sent quite a senior person from that team who listened to me update that the network was dropping packets then we walked to the server room. Begun to connect his sniffer....then it dawned on him -before his laptop had even booted, that it was time to go back. We left everything in place, and walked back to the incident room whereupon I started the update by asing if he had proven that the network was functioning correctly? Of course he could not say. I burned another couple of minutes again arguing my case and back we went. By now the companies own tech realised that I'd pulled him into an impossible loop. He made some calls, his boss made some calls and in due course the incident manager was spoken to and I was excused from any further absurdity.
The issue with the server was located in the first debug session I was permitted to have that lasted more than 2 mins. The cient had changed the antivirus app on the machine from a supported and correctly configured version, to their enterprise a/v - which was not supported and was killing the server app from even starting. Service restored in less than 20 mins after a day of outage.
Just because someone works for big company X and has fancy title Y it does not mean that are not a buffoon.
OMG, that story sounds like being straightly taken from Monty Python`s Flying Circus, sometimes I wander what about the good old proces of thinking... :)
This is the funniest thing I've read in a long time. The scary thing is I don't think you're making it up...
Wow what a bunch do clowns you worked with!
In my long experience, fancy titles have a very high positive correlation to level of buffoonery.
oh man! I laughed so hard at this story! that made my day. Thank you!!
This hurts to watch.
you are privileged my dear *+CheapSushi* if you don't have to 'live it' on a daily basis!
Just rebel.
Yes. It's so true. It just cuts to the bone.
Absolutely!! Reminds me the "adding a cover letter" scene in Office Space. Some people like the feeling of authority so they get to act as if they are smart without the inconvenience of using their brain.
Yes, imagine a boss like that.
I thought this was a comedy. Why am I stressed out?
Me too. LOL!
It's relatable as fцск, that's what matters.
Bloody hell, not just me then.
Because it's a true genuine comedy. One person said: Humour starts when people stop laughing.
I experience this every time I turn on the news
I used to laugh to these sketch, believing no one is that stupid, but now this is more akin to horror movie that I have to live in everyday.
The thing which may not be obvious to the novice is that you can address the issue of left-angles by simply allowing your square to rotate half way around. Left angles quickly become right angles, and that's an improvement of 50%! Of course some previously right angles may have become left in the process, but you can simply rotate again to overcome this. The ability to respond quickly with incremental changes like this is called "agile" development.
WHY ON EARTH DOES HE STILL WORK THERE! After the lines incident I would've left
He loves drawing lines & angles!
Well, he does get money for just drawing lines and squares after all.
This is my life.
*+88Film Co.* someone's gotta run the kitchen at home.
and often there is no escape and it is the same everywhere!
everyone does...
Anyone who has ever worked as an engineer and been in a meeting with senior management knows exactly how this feels. I don't find it that funny as I just feel my blood pressure rising as the memories come back. This is not a comedy but a quite accurate depiction of what it is like to work in engineering but in a way which is accessible to a wider audience. You could go places by offering this as a training film as it is quite an effective little film. Watch the ashen faces of engineers in the audience as they break out in cold sweat.
The principal actor is phenomenal.
Orion is great!
I think I might have some PTSD from working in an office for so many years...
day shud promote him.....:) to b d cheef.
Yeah it triggered a minor anxiety attack in me as well.
no wonder this kicked in my willingness to strangle someone
Then you are a wimp. Grow up.
@S Invest it. SOme MGTOW men have pretty good finansial advice.
Sometimes, I experienced situations like these when I was working in IT in the early 2000s. After trying to be polite and explaining like Anderson does, I soon took a completely different approach: When people started to spew clueless nonsense like Timothy, I got up, told them "okay, get back to me as soon as you remotely know what you're talking about, and leave me the fuck alone until you do" and just left.
That ruffled quite a few feathers at first and some people became pretty pissed at me, but in the long run it did pay off: Those who were willing to learn started to comprehend how unproductive their behaviour had been and began to change (at least made an honest effort), and the others ignored me (which was equally fine by me, because that way I didn't have to deal with those muppets anymore as well).
Granted, I lost one job because of that.
But that was no big deal because the boss was a true cliché MBA (i.e. a certified clueless smart-arse who liked to deal with any problem by avoiding any head-on approach at all costs and just make your ears bleed with pseudocompetent MBA "big words" instead), and the company went Chapter 11 for the first of numerous times anyways about six months later.
I have approached the exact same problem, the exact same way you did, and encouraged this approach on reddit a couple times.
It was quite disheartening how many people replied with:
"yeah like I can afford to lose my job or constantly change/keep looking for a job".
So many people live in fear and shackles that they've willingly put on.
It's sad really.
@@WhiteDeVil3 I think it really depends on the person's skills. If you have no useful skills (like engineering for example), it's hard to pass up jobs. It also depends on where you live - some places are tight job-wise.
"A certified clueless smartass who avoids dealing with a problem using a head-on approach at all costs and instead makes your ears bleed with pseudocompetent MBA big words."
This, sir, was truly brilliant. It needs to be in the Urban Dictionary or some shit.
Thank you. I've met so many people w/so many degrees that each impress me and garner my respect of their knowledge in their field. To varying degrees, their diplomas mean something. They translate to something tangible in that person. And then I've met MBA's. This is only in regards to the MBA's I've met, so its not a large statistical sample, just my personal experience, but I struggle mightily trying to deduce from what I see in them what they were actually taught in those MBA classes. Its the only university program I've come across where one seems to know less upon completing it than they did when they started it. Its like one of those movies where someone goes off screen and comes back different, only to find out later that they were replaced by an alien in disguise who in spite of the quality of their disguise still doesn't quite fully understand what it is to be human.
Well, I doubt if you can say this to your manager. If you are not on post of some rare specialist, you could be fired quite fast after this.
"Why is the beverage separating in layers?"
"You need to use an emulsifier."
"Peter we don't want to make the recipe complicated!"
Yea. That is my job.
At the end of the day, you are the expert!
I couldn't help but relate to this through my barista experience.
You need to make a late, but layer it milk, coffee and milk foam. In that order.
Make a drink but i want it separated in 3 layers.... vertically
TheEpongeMan 🤣😂🤣
"Obviously we wouldn't be using a left angle, that just wouldn't be right!" Omg the metajokes! Well done.
I think murdering him in anger would be a perfectly viable defense in front of the court.
Rubashow using a triangle with the perfect left angle.
What kind of people do you think make up the juries?
dijox and the judges
Ryan nails that expression perfectly! The number of times I've had that look on my face when I used to be an engineering consultant. LOL
I think many people have that expression often - irrespective of their line of work :)
*This was perfect and not just all right!*
Right!
Finally finally finally finally more psychological horror. These brilliant fucking sketchessss. Yes.
The "expert" videos are sadly a reality for many engineers. Extremely well done, hilarious, and pretty accurate to working in some larger companies.
Glad you liked them!
not only engineers.. I work in e-lerning and this is common occurance as well sadly
This absolutely, and tragically, one of the best version of sales people that you'll work with.
This is like watching a live action Dilbert comic.
This "expert" series is really stressful for me.
Boss: "Isn't a right angle a round number, like 100 degrees?"
Expert: "No. 100 degrees is a libertarian angle. And 75 degrees would be a far-right angle."
NetRolller3D 😂🤣😂
"Ah, the optics aren't good on this one, we need to switch to a left angle, and can you make sure we have a variety of numbers to fulfil our diversity mission statement."
Well, it is 100 grad.
I am in literal pain about this
/checks the patient.
Where does it hurt? Is it a sharp or dull pain?
It's a true genuine comedy. One person said: Humour starts when people stop laughing.
OMG! Spot on!
I'm happily retired now after 32+ years of working for a company whose name you would recognize in the USA.....plus 3 years with the USMC.....and this video only *slightly* exaggerates the inefficiency of corporate (and military) management.
It is truly a wonder that *anything* gets accomplished.
Great video! 🤣👍🏼
Well I guess it's thanks to people like you anything does get done
He must organize a one week business trip to find the perfect right angle - makes total sense. CEO might accept the idea, too.
for me it is not funny. that is my reality and people make fun of it
This really happens, people not knowing a right angle is 90°? How did they get hired?
@dabdumedum14 WTF? How the hell did she make it to boss?
We laugh because otherwise the truth would hurt too much!
Ive been there too. 🤯
Mira Smit The right angle, and the perpendicular lines, and so on, are just an exaggerated metaphor for whatever subject the main character is an expert on. The authors had to pick something obvious to general audience to showcase the expert’s perspective on that topic, it could’ve easily been bridge construction, information security, or even a lab setting for biochemistry or whatever.
I can't count how many times I've been in situations like this. Before I was nice and patient, now I'm very blunt. Being blunt just makes it so much easier.
Career limiting move though. People have no true appreciation for the expert.
Make sure the right angles' lines are drawn in red with green ink.
No in blue with transparent ink dummy!
With seven strictly perpendicular lines.
And make sure to add that cute kitten and balloons to the sketch... otherwise it is completely useless.
Oh question question may i? 🖐 Can we draw a square in the form of a kitten?
Basically,... Magic.
I love this writing. Great job again.
Yeah, it's written and acted so naturally, to the point where it makes it seem like a real situation despite the utter ridiculousness.
Thank you so much for these videos. They make my world as an engineer feel so much more relate-able.
"Left angle" ==> you killed me ^^ !
Ignorant Managers holding back Competent Workers... the modern day Corporate system is indeed the best of the possible worlds.
Nothing modern about it. Morons have held back everyone else for eons. History is full of idiots somehow constantly getting to be in charge and derailing progress.
...At last, The Expert ( Part 2 ? )
Have been looking forward to seening something new for you guys.
Loved that previous The Expert sketch.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Yay! So happy to see this. I love this humor!
I love these series! You guys should do more of them
This is why i subscribed! Thank you for bringing back the expert!
I am dying to see other episodes. This one was quite ironic just like the first one.
I show the first episode to my every client. Keep doing it. 😊
This reminds me of a task I was given in 1987. My boss refused to believe that sending 50 KB per second across a 9600 baud serial line would not work. He actually made me run tests and present the results.
We still have bosses like that, and they'll be around in 2027 for sure.
😂
50KB/s (400Kb/s) over a 9600bps link? You'd need a 40x faster link!
@@linuxguy1199 don't forget parity and stop bits too. They also questioned my results when I presented them because the actual data rates were about 3-5% below the theoretical upper limit of 9600 bits per second. The whole experience was insane
@@froggacuda1605 Haha, that's a shame. Wouldn't be surprised if the boss reprimanded you later for making him look stupid.
Absolutely brilliant. Lauris -- you made my day!
Brings memories of my old job. They took a whole bit of my soul there.
Yaay I'm so glad this is back! The humour is right up my street :D
Or is it left up your street?
Perfect up her street!
Lauris Beinerts 😂😂
We are witnessing this poor man in HELL.
Love when you upload, always gold.
It's too close to home to laugh about it.
You have nailed it perfectly!
Anderson should have said that a right angle is pi/2 radians to confuse the other guy into shutting up
and remind that other guy who the expert is, and that an expert is defined as someone who knows what they're talking about
The other guy would have said "That's perfect! Everyone loves a half of a pie"
@@GeeTrieste Guess he should say 1 quarter tau
What !? There will be more episodes !?!? Yaaay !!!
You are really funny guys! I'm from Chile and with your video "the expert" i laughed a lot, keep making these amazing sketchs!
very well polished and thought out, you guys deserve more views ;)
Awesome! So good!
When that kid that got all C in high school gets the same job as you.
This is so real... experiences such similar cases in office all the time
the best thing about these videos is they using such basic geometry that everyone can understand what tech experts actually go through..
The moment when you realise that you are the only sane person in the world.
How big is a left angle?
A left angle is up to 10 cm. Is this environment borrowed from actual work facility? Where do you draw the inspiration for such great characters?
Would you like to work in the same office?
I would hate that office.
-90 degree :D
Great fit for the company culture!!!
Amazing Lauris , this is really amazing
Love it! Super funny. Great production. Great acting. Like SNL does Dilbert. More please!
Very happy you enjoyed it!
OMG, they had to have gotten this from Google. I was working on a project, and this really happened.
This must be shown in schools and offices all across the globe. You probably nailed the reason why the world sucks and dull companies rule the world instead of smart people.
They could start and show it in Geometry classes :)
Anderson wasn't fortunate enough to get educated *at the **ua-cam.com/video/Zh3Yz3PiXZw/v-deo.html** 'right' school.*

I can not stress how much i relate to these sketches
Welcome back...awesome videos as usual!!!
Thanks :)
This is so relatable it's scary.
So painfully true
Brilliant stuff here Lauris.
This series is years late, but man it is good.
Timothy mysteriously died on "Bring-your-gun-to-work Day", all witnessing developers testified that it was a suicide.
I clicked this because it said "Comedy". But there was a 2m31s advertisement about right angles and then there was no video! WTF?
Lol, I wish they would make more of these "Ads"
🤣😂👍
I fully expected him to slam his head into the desk at the end lol
They are best actors and actresses and with best script:) can't wait for more.
There actually is an angle unit where a right angle has a measure of 100, it's called gradians, the other part of that "DRG" button on the calculator that noone ever uses.
Yeah but anyone who knows that, knows the degree value of a right angle.
Yes, but it's on the left side of the calculator, which clearly is not alright.
#gradiansaredegreestoo
The scarriest thing is, that those people exist... and they can make you hate even the coolest job.
Why does this hit home so hard?
1:04 "isnt it a round number"
wait until this guy finds out 90 degrees in radians is pi/2 lmao
Or that 90 is, in fact, a round number.
"We wouldn't be using a left angle, that just wouldn't be RIGHT"
What angle is a ca..tten? Right or left or 90?
I think I'm your new #1 fan!
Every single company has at least one "onTheNerve" guy .
-They interrupt you constantly
-They schedule useless meetings, 3 times a day and full report since project start
-They want u to document a lot of already documented data.
...
Then after all they blame you for delay in projects.
Absolutely true
Something's bottling inside me that want to get out after watching this video.
ARRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!! 🤬🤬🤬
I loved this !!

After paying my first website host quite handsomely, I contacted by email their services requesting help setting up my site. My particulars were all in order, site all raring and ready to go, chomping at the bit as it were. But getting my stuff actually on the web was not happening. One email after another was filled with instructions that had me backing up and backing up, and one prelim after another prelim, and I started questioning my own sanity. It was like, Did I really spell out the word Sanity, in my previous sentence, correctly? "First we'll deal with that," their email said, "and then we'll get back to your original question." And more of that, and more.
And some more. LSS, I finally quit emailing them. Problem solved!
It was funny in this sketch, but in real life, not so much.
PS They went out of business less than three years later. Wanted to have a business with a passive money flow, i.e. money flowing to them, after an initial investment of setting up a "service" that would need no more labor to maintain, only work involved for them would be cashing the checks of their customers. Evidently I was one of the few who had it together enough to completely set up and run my own site.
That's tough. Did you set the website up with a different host?
This short film is obviously not finished. You forgot to add the part where he takes something heavy from his desk and smashes it against Timothy's head.
"Why yes sir, I think you're thinking of 'percent pi half radians'. Good old PPHR rating. A proper right angle has a one hundred PPHR rating. One thing though: To make a proper square we'll need four of them, so I think your department is 75% understaffed. I can still do it on schedule though."
Always leave emails to your boss in multiple locations, so they'll actually read them.
@@tarico4436 i tako dalje ne mogu o
I have literally been having a conversation with one client on why they can not achieve 70% by combining 47% and 15% for 7 months at this point.
You can. If you increase something by 47% and you increase it again by 15% you get roughly 70% increase over the original. Are you sure you were understanding the client correctly?
1.47 * 1.15 = 1.6905
A 47% increase followed by a 15% increase is a 70% increase (almost)
Finally!!!! You're back
"I sent an email why no answer"...knife emoji....love it!

Thank you for showing me that it is not just me dealing with these idiots.
These Expert videos are hilarious !!!
It feels like some kind of hell but it is actually real and happening every day.
I’ll personally ensure you won’t be using any left angles for this project.
This is brilliant.
I need more of these. Please. They speak to me.
