Sad news, you guys: we all have to go to work. For, like, ever. Them’s just the breaks! No use complaining about it, even though we all definitely complain about it. No use doing what we do constantly. (Complaining, I mean. Working, which is the other thing we all do constantly, does have a point. It’s called putting food on your family, and it’s American.) Here’s the thing, though: just do your job! And do it well! Why not? Louis C.K. actually has a really good bit about people being terrible at their jobs and how awful of an experience it is to encounter, especially when you know that they could just do their job. And then he says the reason for this is because they’re 20 years old. Haha. GOTCHA 20-YEAR-OLDS! He gotcha! You are all pieces of shit. (As a counter-point he mentions the old man he saw working as a greeter at Best Buy who was just so happy to be working, and that is also true. It’s not torture when you understand both how important it is to have money in this world at least the way it is currently set up and also the genuine sense of fulfillment you can get from having a purpose to your day, even if that purpose is handing out circulars and marking off people’s receipts with a marker.) Just do your job, guys. And if you can, have fun with it! You’re going to die either way.

Two videos came out today of people making the most out of their working situation. WHO WORKED IT BETTER?!

Wal-Mart:

Jack In The Box:

Good job, everyone. Get it? Job? IT’S A POST ABOUT WORK STUFF! I can’t believe you didn’t even get it. Who hired this guy?! I quit. Other work jokes. (Via ByronCrawford and TheDailyWhat.)

  1. So I don’t know if everyone has been following Teacherman’s quest on twitter to get everyone to go to TWERK each day, but this+that=TRUTH. It’s actually kind of made me change the (very terrible) attitude I’ve had about work lately. Because when you choose to go to TWERK, then you can just booty-bounce your troubles away and focus on your real job: Videogum.

  2. Oh, man. That first one made me want to lead the revolution. It’s great that they’ve found a way to not hate every second of their time at work, but enthusiastically cheering Wal-Mart is just fucked up.

  3. I salute these people working it at work. Are there videos of people working it in a cubicle environment? I need tips…

  4. I TWERK it at work, but only on hump day.

  5. obviously this manager doesn’t get the irony in trying to build solidarity among his walmart employees…

  6. “Put yo jack in the box and then POP POP goes the weasel.” -Brand new YouTube rap sensation (see above for viral dance video)

  7. Lordy, is that what the kids call dancing these days?

  8. I would maybe go to Wal-Mart more often if every time you entered the store you had to run through one of those human tunnels like you’re on the starting line up of a basketball team.

  9. No love for FLW? I worked it hard today and came up with Million dollar ideas during my big meeting today. Observe my notes:

  10. I think it’s a tie, for both videos urge me to put my thang down flip it and reverse it.

  11. fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
    that first video made me want to cry only because things like that happen at my work. how about instead of driving home the fact that people work in pretty mindless places, companies just treat them like responsible adults and don’t pander with stupid inspirational songs and way-to-go-champs? Did anyone being sung at feel better about that job post song?

  13. I think the reply button called in sick today.

  14. that kid got a boner

  15. nope. fuck off.

    I agree that your attitude is the one thing you can change at work, but that happy facade can only take so much pounding and stress before it starts to crumble. And I am fucking good at my terrible job! and I will go that extra mile to help! but i still sulk at the edge of my bed every morning and wonder how I will feed my dog if I quit.

  16. The weirdest thing about that Jack in the Box video is that there’s a guy at the drive thru window and he’s probably sitting there thinking “where are my fucking fries?”

    • Agreed. Call me a prude but I don’t really see dry-humping your co-worker in full view of customers as just another ker-azy way to make the day go a little faster.

  17. Ugh, to both of those. DO NOT WANT.

  18. BWAHAHAHA! LOOK AT THAT WHITE BWOY BLUSH! HAHA!!
