This is not comedy, this is corporate life.

As an engineer, I eventually learned to just agree with them and then did whatever actually needed to be done- knowing they'd never even know the difference.

That “executive” was spot on. Perfect, totally disengaged from the details, totally oblivious to how things really work. Too funny.

I revisit this video every few years, and it gets better and better. Whoever wrote that sketch truly has a deep understanding of the corporate world.

I thought comedy was meant to make you laugh, not give you extreme anxiety.

I cannot overstate how absolutely perfect 2:25 is: - the specs are murky AF - you ask the customer to clarify - they realize they do not understand what they want or are asking for - they bounce it back to you b/c "you are the expert and you should know what applies" - your sales team speaks for you" of course we do know what you mean!"

I've done QA for about 8 years, and I've sat through many conversations like this. The way I've found to get everyone on the same page is to say "yes, and..." and begin listing off the expenses you'll need to make a red line with green ink. They seem to start scaling back and clarifying real quick.

This is not fiction. This is a documentary on exactly what experts are treated like if they are forced to work under idiots.

3:25 I love her expression drawing the lines - excited and confident as she solves the "impossible" problem :)

As someone who works in client service, I come back to this sketch once in a while. I'm not even an engineer or artist, but I genuinely think this is one of the most perfect satires of the modern professional world in existence. The presumptuousness of the requests, the constant distracted off-topic additions to the ask, the way the client lead quickly checks her pages of notes "that's... what it says here" like she has no idea what she's even asking, and the best part is the end - there's always that point where you mentally just give up on trying to explain why the given task is impossible, play the politics game, and tell them "of course I can do that", give them what's within the limits of reality, and hope they don't notice it's not exactly what they asked for.

This is not a comedy sketch, this is a horror film. A+

The scariest thing about this video is just how relatable this is to software developers explaining things to CEO's/Execs.

"And then you, engineers, do your magic." I still remember these words as if they were said yesterday.

I've worked in design for almost 23 years now, and this skit was so painfully true of my management. My boss once demanded that I mix two pigment colours to get Yellow. I asked him which two colours did he suggest I use, and he got blustery and said "I'm not the expert! You are!".

Being asked to inflate a red balloon, because it's red... is the most painfully accurate part of this video. This is how it always goes. Always.
