I think it also has to do with the in universe plot this time, in the old youtube show it was like they were actors knowing they are doing a kids tv show so some of them (specially red guy) were kinda awkward saying the lines and were kinda forced on purpose, but this time it feels like they are normal people doing their daily things with a weird force making all the teachers and weird stuff happen, kinda like the amazing world of gumball with the void.

[@jbark678]

[@jasperk5562]

Kinda speaks to how it's so easy to be 'groomed' into management, and the business world explicitly lures you into the hierachrical boss mindset. Like we see red guy. Many workplaces are half BS admin jobs, but everyone is still vying and kissing ass to get there, trying to get the shiny tie lol

[@WillowJordan1979]

I personally see it as a butt-kissing employee who wants to advance in the work place by flattering the boss and groveling in front of him. Since it's a fax machine, there's no way for it to become the boss, but it still gets some kind of self-worth from serving the guy on top. Like Smithers to Mr. Burns. Although there was something sexual there was well, so maybe you're onto something...

[@siggymilfordjigutzpilgrid]

I think the fax is just trying to hit on him

[@naturalist4life396]

Weird, but dumb idea: Red Guy got to be the manager because he's the only person who knows how to use a telephone.

[@Oldbmwr100rs]

It was more like he just walked in and was made manager. I've worked for people like that.

[@kgpspyguy]

If you think about it, he WAS the only person to take initiative, and therefore, out of everyone in that particular group of people. He WAS the most qualified. The phone was ringing, he pointed out that the phone needed to be answered, nobody else took action, and so he did. I don’t know if that was actually intentional, but it often turns out to be the case. Successful people are very often just the people who decided to start providing the service that nobody else wanted to.

The first Series we can see Duck is the smartest one in the group , the episode about time where he explains the concept of time he was stopped and mocked by the clock teacher. Now this episode hits even harder in how they want you to stop thinking out of the box The scene where the Doghound center tells you" think you are inside the cube , and the cube is actually you" really tells you that some force is stopping duck from thinking outside of the box.

[@Kyumifun]

Oh that's a good point. The AI litterally told him to think inside the box and don't do stuff he's not supposed to do.
