"...You've been hiring very strange people lately...", that was priceless😂😂😂😂.

[@deoxal7947]

And she took her mug, that was off the charts.

[@ianjukseyjukes4358]

she also should have only suggested they had an opening as an Accountant !!! not the the head of personnel

[@Danny65673]

"Overqualified" means that they can't afford to pay you what you could demand.

[@Mikman__]

exactly

[@kimfawcett1725]

ain't it the truth!!! Lol!

[@NahedElrayes]

..........how is this a shock to me?

[@sgtjoe2008]

check out the big brain on edvard! he's a smart mofo!

[@qq84]

They don´t want to afford to pay you what you could demand.

[@raulthepig5821]

"You are over qualified to be an accountant." "That's OK. I don't intend to work very hard." Priceless.

[@russkate88]

She sounds like a millennial.

[@PixelPi]

​@@russkate88 No, she sounds like someone who is wise beyond her years because she understands that laboring for someone is is the modern equivalent to indentured servitude. Even if you make $250k with today's money, you still won't have the purchasing power that a typical family had from the early 1950s.

[@fasteddylove-muffin6415]

@@PixelPi Without no questions & just some simple math I'll take that 250K please. At 250K your standard of living is many times greater than someone making the median income of $2,300 in 1952. I don't think you thought that through.

[@azearaazymoto461]

@@fasteddylove-muffin6415 The average house costed $7000 in 1950. Do keep this in mind.

[@vinnievalentine421]

You're over qualified. "That's OK, I don't tend to work very hard" 😂😂

[@u.v.s.5583]

This truth is rarely expressed openly in job interviews.

[@ngyufeng6205]

@Another Virtual Identity of Someone Who Isn't Me there may be better companies who are looking for you

[@Penguin_of_Death]

*intend, not tend

[@congruentwitch6506]

I didn't understand, what's wrong with this answer!:D

[@joyfulness9968]

Inteeeeend

[@DoubleGauss]

A lot of thought went into writing the script. Well done, whoever did it.

[@zaiah9252]

Very much

[@justglenn1037]

Exactly! I would love to get in the minds of great writers to know what makes them tick

[@KamJ2010]

Marty Hill wrote it. It's in the credits. 🙂

[@HarelmsKnight]

This was a well written and well executed comedy short. Wonderfully done.

[@eljaguar4789]

The tension between them is hilarious. I think they would hate working with each other but somehow get things done

[@pdv]

Haha yes!

[@spamdump4459]

So that's what I'm doing wrong in my interviews!

[@TrollMeister_]

You must fire the interviewer before he refuses you the job.

[@spamdump4459]

@@TrollMeister_ If you do it soon enough in the hiring process you can create the opening you're applying for.

[@silods3S]

Very well played ladies and funny ASF 🤣😂😂 keep it up (we want more)

[@pdv]

Thanks for watching!

[@matthewmakowski6463]

That was highly unrealistic, but amusing and entertaining no less. I would love to see more!

[@jagoag6247]

Really? if you didnt tell us it was not real, we wouldn't know that! Thanks Matthew, you are a genius!

[@ThePeanut999]

Wait this wasn't real? I've been bamboozled.

[@billlozier5551]

Absolutely love it. The applicant is so adorable and the Personnel director is perfect.

[@bretthoffman2128]

That’s What I Thought too

[@zaiah9252]

Wow, this is an extremely well written short 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. The acting is great too 💯

[@americanninjadarrin7699]

That was hilarious! Love the premise. I just couldn't quit watching...

[@pdv]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@jakepullman4914]

No, you can't QUIT watching because you're FIRED.

[@forrestgump5959]

you both were never hired.

[@DrunkenUFOPilot]

I like that look on the applicant's face after saying she doesn't intend to work that hard, after the interviewer's reaction.

[@mehtasid]

Paul Del Vechhio -- this was simply 5 stars, why don't you make some more like this.

[@christelletremaine8900]

that was funny lol. i like when she took her coffee mug LOL

[@cowboygareth]

the dynamic shift at 3:02 is masterful...after this moment I just found out that the camera is framed so they both look like they're sitting in the boss position...

[@metzdupcounselor]

Excellent turn of events! Love it

[@dustybrown4599]

Every second is pure GOLD!

[@pdv]

That's what happens when you have a great script and great actors! :)

[@garydunkel]

That was amazing! I love the change of roles there!

[@justliketheguy]

Amazing script writing!!

[@HUNKSComedy]

Great sketch. Keeps you guessing the whole way. Just when I thought they'd exhausted the twists, they give you more. Lol'd at 3:11. Often these games can get tired after a minute, but not so here.

[@RicNorsider]

Brilliance. Wonderfully well acted and written even better. Thank you.

[@felipelotas5609]

Brilliant!!! Well written and acted. Intense. I loved it!!

[@jasoncummings7052]

Script, settings, cast, acting story all well done. Very proud of the work.

[@pdv]

Thanks!

[@Cubeheadfilms]

haha awesome. I wish all interviews went like this

[@josephschuster1494]

Excellent acting with a twist at the end makes this short VERY entertaining! 🎭

[@nilspin]

Absolutely brilliant.

[@Headjunk]

What a great sketch, brilliant writing and production 👍

[@No_Way_NO_WAY]

the moment she said, that it would not be enough, i knew what would happen. but the reveal was priceless :)

[@Y0ur-Highness]

She really displayed it, she's overqualified 😂❤

[@tintinban]

Well written sketch. Underrated by KZbin algorithm to be recommended this late....you are fired.

[@shortellis2656]

I liked this. It's a really funny idea. Nicely put together sketch

[@SonicPrototype]

I'm going to talk to a lawyer and do research to see if this would legally work if I got it recorded...

[@jasondads9509]

+SonicPrototype i don't think you can hire above your level without permission anyway.

[@MartinWasTaken]

Also you would have to have paperwork done anyway.

[@Nereus00]

no it wouldn't because nobody would act so childish, she never signed any paper and last you can't just fire people because you want to, you still need a serious motivation. Actually the video could have more realistically ended by just suing for futile motivations.

[@Movie2Documentary]

Nereus Yes, you can fire people without motivation. Actually it would be better to fire without motivation, so they can't really 'sue' you. And if they did sue you then you can't work for your boss anymore because you ruined the relationship. So it's a win-win for the boss (off course he gonna pay all the legal documents and pay-outs, including raises and ancienity).

[@Linrox]

agreed just what i was going to say. and i don't think having permission applies, you just can't. That would be like hiring your boss. Which would have a conflict of interest.

[@dougpatterson7494]

I love it! Reminds me of Adam and Costello’s “Who’s on First” Skit

[@BerlinDavid]

This was f***ing hillarous. One of the funniest scetches i have seen here on youtube xD

[@garydunkel]

Genius! You can't fire me because I didn't accept! Lmao

[@goldenphung]

Nice sketch, really good on all facets. I really liked the performances and the idea behind this one.

[@billlozier5551]

[@SapheadPictures]

Love the progression, great stuff!

[@florianwolf9380]

Very funny ! I had a boss who fired me several times, only to let his secretary call me a few days later & politely ask why I would no longer show up. I asked to be put thru to my (former ?) boss, who barked at me that he didn’t mean it & I should come back. Each time I negotiated a raise, only to result in the HR people ringing me why I always got a raise out of sync with rest of the gang. On and on it went, until I (!) resigned for a better job - and he gave me glowing references ever after, which finally moved me into two MD / CEO positions. Have to say I loved the game, but isn’t it a strange world ? Now I am retired early, live on a farm with my lovely wife, and life couldn’t be better. I don’t miss the rat race for a single day !

[@pdv]

Is this really a true story?! If so, that's amazing!!!

[@bluekid5099]

The only problem I have with this is that how could somebody hire their own boss?

[@The-Athenian]

Isn't that what happens when you choose to work under someone?

[@wietick5677]

I think the only thing you can apply for is a junior hr which is gonna probably be an assistant and not fire people so yeah that's bugging me aswell although I don't have experience

[@vitalityfox]

If she is HR she could higher the boss.

[@rohanofelvenpower5566]

enrolling in the army

[@JLewis-vv5zf]

Well, gee...I dunno, Blue Kid. Would you consider the concept of citizens electing individuals to head the executive branch of our government a form of “we, the people” hiring their own boss? Yes, I’ll agree it’s kind of a rough analogy, but I’m willing to provide other examples to help clarify my question to you if you’d like. Just ask.

[@Mzansi74]

Excellent!

[@360resourcingCoUk1]

Brilliant!

[@markcarey8426]

I went for a job and the guy said something about how they couldn't guarantee the number of hours per week and I said "That's OK, I don't like working very much anyway". I still got the job.

[@cj6745]

That was brilliant

[@damondraco8380]

Ok I'll admit, that was VERY well played!
