The Worst Co-Workers Of Series 5! | Utopia

[@workingdogproductions]

Which Utopia character would be the worst to work with? 🤦‍♂️

[@MichelleWardley]

Pauline hanson

[@Enlight_Entertain]

That management assistant. Worked with few and very stressful.

[@jadenamber8378]

Beverly. Oh God, Beverly...

[@nigelmcconnell1909]

When people ask me how I can work seven days a week alone milking my cows , I respond at the end of the day it's so much easier to wash the crap off me that is dumped on by those I work with than in an office. And it's cute ( not creepy) when one of them comes up behind and gives a friendly lick on the back of my head with their tongue 😛

[@michaelfergusson3773]

Just Tony!

[@JimOHalloran]

"It felt like a lecture, but we've had it" might be my favourite line from the entire series!

[@DiamondLil]

Could apply to our entire national zeitgeist these days.

[@JimOHalloran]

@@DiamondLil That is true.

[@SeraphusInferis]

I love seeing this halfway point between British response("we've had the discussion, thank you"), and American response ("it was a lecture; get out").

[@Iztiak101]

this and "who let HR in the building?"

[@lukebursle6139]

He doesn’t identify as an engineer! Classic

[@christianpenguin2651]

Too bad, this series is not available outside of Aussie-Land, they hit the nail with the HR-bull we all have to endure in companies around the globe!

[@timothyt0102]

its available outside of Aussieland now. I am watching via VPN from Singapore....used to study down under in Perth and went back to SG after graduation.

[@goliaboi]

you're the reason there is a problem

[@jamesdc9595]

On which service, Netflix?

[@chrisp5475]

​@jamesdc9595 it's on an app called iview

[@NHJ1114]

Use VPN, I watch the entire series from Sabah, Malaysia. Brilliant writing!

[@jesss4105]

I think I have literally worked with all these people. Tony bellowing for help during Patrick's family photos was all too familiar...

[@KingComputerSydney]

The most virtue signaling HR person is clearly the most racist 1:57 “You must have a lived experience of this Ash”. Such a great documentary of corporate/government today.

[@hejimony]

Infrastructure. cracked me up

[@PWizz91]

Strange ain’t it how them trying not to be exclusionary or racist, they in fact end up being both

[@well-blazeredman6187]

Best line: 'It will always be next year.'

[@papasquat355]

Years ago the Atlanta Braves motto was "This Could Be The Year". It was brilliant. They used the same ads until the ink faded.

[@elizabethhalkett]

Where satire meets corporate PTSD 😂

[@douglaspianta4187]

Best description of the show.

[@TheAmbex]

I love / hate this show.... just like The Office. It's a bit too close to my work reality :(

[@skiphouston7392]

Or crashes into some of your own personal experiences in the real world...which gives you PTSD :)

[@Bushmansmeg]

Ash has the best one liners. "I'm Ash and I help... too"

[@Pholoxo]

That's literally me

[@spacecadetmcgee7349]

The look on his face delivering that line is great

[@topologyrob]

My friend who works in government can't cope with watching the show - it's too accurate

[@jena.alexia]

It's very triggering. The circular conversations and waffle does it for me.

[@JesseDishner]

Yeah it's quite painful, but I can't help but watch, it's like a car crash.

[@TheAmbex]

Public employee here, and 100%, it's far too close to my reality some days. Idiots we can't fire, people getting promotions who shouldn't, circular BS, HR that doesn't matter, stupid people.

[@mittyxxx8791]

Yeah i worked in another country and even i cant cope, it’s too much and too hard to watch

[@cdr3153]

I love the fact that Scott randomly joined the meeting where they are reviewing Tony's speech with Legal. No idea why he is there in the first place and then doesn't have Tony's back yet again 😂

[@LynnLaiNZ]

“He said imagine” lol

[@jakobbauz]

"And I'm Ash and I help... too." (3:05) Ah, we've found the one guy actually doing some work most of the time.

[@dontcallmyname7779]

Both tools

[@Anamnesia]

I remember hearing a story of *Ray Martin* being interviewed, regarding the other Working Dog TV DocuDrama; *_FRONTLINE_* and Ray commenting along the lines of, "Is Frontline a 'comedy', because I didn't see anything funny in it..." - implying that FRONTLINE was more *_reality_* than _satire_ ... As someone who works in government, I feel every ounce of pain that Tony feels - because it's more 'reality' than _satire_ !!!

[@Superstupid1]

It's hard for Ray to laugh at himself being spoofed.

[@ClaytonCookpanda]

I have friends in government that all started watching it excited and talking about at work, and then after a few episodes hardly anyone could watch it anymore because it was simply too accurate, a documentary of their workplace. The ATO

[@petermapstone9684]

Such great comedy! The only pain is the root in reality.

[@janemacintyre9801]

'Can I just have a couple of squares' 😄

[@jedics1]

Thanks for putting this on YT as I had never heard of the show even though its had 5 seasons and it is 100% exactly up my alley and makes me wonder what other gems YT is not showing me.

[@jsmith498]

If you like this you could try Yes Minister. Very accurate satire.

[@paulgregory777]

These dry humour videos are brilliant. Especially the way they capture real life scenarios... in a way that highlights their absurdity!

[@shaunanstis4864]

I think "None taken" might be the best line on Australian television since John Clarke died.

[@eldonad]

Non native english speaker here, I can't catch what he is trying to say by that, would you mind explaining ?

[@MrSupdup]

@@eldonad He is a white, upper middle-class male like the rowers in the photo. She was basically calling him entitled. Usually if someone accidentally says something like that while the person is in the room they'll say "no offence", meaning they didn't mean to say that about them. The usual response is "none taken", meaning it didn't bother them. He says "none taken" making the point that she just did to him the very thing she's accusing the photo of doing, and she didn't even have the decency to say "no offence".

[@rhk199]

Perfect obsessed with appearance of caring instead of solving the root causes m, Only people worked in this environment know how accurate this is

[@grimmriffer]

2:48 the moment someone gives an intro like that you know they do fnck all. 😂

[@SeraphusInferis]

Wow. I've dealt with all of these in some way, and now I want to scream.

[@hejimony]

I love it when they keep drilling down on this.

[@simonchoi973]

This is just gold!

[@mocmocmoc13]

I was searching for Utopia the UK show and stumbled on this and I'm hooked. Damn it's hilarious

[@mast420kalandar]

That introduction session gave me an anxiety attack. I was once in a similar session and i just wanted to say, Hi my name is mayank and I am an associate in this team. But everyone started reading out 30 sec essays about themselves.

[@brettbroadbere2614]

This is just super scary and I have no doubt it’s true..

[@davidoleary1557]

I never know whether to laugh or scream at these skits. So real life. And the sad part is, there are bureaucrats who think what they are doing is supporting communities when they are hindering progress. Sigh.

[@geotard]

I'm living aspects of this daily. Please help me. Is it laury or craugh? Cry laugh or laugh cry, or just a quiet sob in the corner?

Quiet sob accompanied by rhythmic head-bashing against the wall.

I love how they all are wearing formal suits and dresses and then they ruin it with these silly badges they are wearing all the time as if they didn't know each other.

[@dala5568]

I once misplaced mine and a customer had called in to complain. The customer was advised by a colleague that a person named ‘A’ would see them, I (D) saw them and they thought I was ‘A’ . Another colleague came in and addressed me as ‘D’ where after the customer demanded to see ‘A’ . Two people messed up and I took the brunt of the fallout. Name badges are the foundation of all self important organizations.

[@MichaelCairns-fv2vi]

Anxiety plus watching these people

[@drosophilamelanogaster3957]

I'm surprised there is no one from Auckland Transport in the comments.

[@pinkyfull]

This is far too real to my actual job.

[@ipomerville]

I love this show and wish we could get it here in the US. Everytime I watch these clips it makes me feel a little better that this type of ridiculousness in the workplace is not isolated to the US.

[@Andaroo27]

To those who don’t work in the government sector, this show is too close to home and is frighteningly realistic.

[@alecmagill5337]

#1 having rowed for a year in high school, I can say with absolute certainty that nobody would care that it’s exclusionary #2 rowing was originally done by slaves, so we should be happy that it’s done by upper class people
