  • @God sent me!

  • @CommCraftsmenGroup get off his dick brah.

  • We need to get Gov. out of our lives. Any Politician that voted for TARP screwed the middle class and benefited big Bankers. When Gov. tries to play the role of God and decide who wins and who loses we ought to get rid of them. Senators like Orrin Hatch have since said they wish they didn't vote for TARP (now he wants to appear as if he was swindled but really he was scratched by lobbyists). We need to get real champions of the free market into Congress or we'll become a fascist Nation

  • @pantheons1

    The Government sucks, Senator Hatch sucks- they're all two faced, we need someone we can trust, a "radical" like Ron Paul- they're the only consistent ones- the only ones you can trust not to go behind your back. It's not the job of the Government to influence the economy- I believe if they do we have a right to steal from them- they stole from us

  • Hey Screaming Frog!

    Yeah, I remember something similar before. Doesn't mean you actually saw it. I have the same problem, too. In early '87 Some mates and I came up with an original idea and with some other friends and shot a short concept on video. Been trying for years to get the guys together to finish the story, maybe a graphic novel, but I discovered last month that someone else has been successful with the same concept, but different approach. I'm heartbroken, but I know I was oiginal.

  • hehe guckt mich an bin ein elch

  • ehm ich hab was unanständiges entdeckt

  • INTERVIEW TASK TECHNIQUE 1009 FAIL

  • i think that you guys should at least acknowledge that this joke was made fourteen years ago by a webcomic, seen here nukees . com / d / 19970203 . html

  • @datawraith3080 - This cartoon was brought to my attention for the first time by datawraith3080 4 months ago. (We posted his comment and link 4 months ago.) People organically come up with similar ideas all the time. I came up with the concept of The Job in 2001. I was sitting at a stoplight on Sunset Blvd, outside Home Depot. I was working a terrible job and saw the men working so hard to TRY and get a job. I thought to myself, "What if I everyone had to do that every day?" The Job.

  • @datawraith3080 - Check out this New Yorker Cartoon that came out October of 2011. (Years after both Nukees & The Job.) -  newyorker . com/ humor/ issuecartoons / 2011 /10 / 24 / cartoons _ 20111017 # slide = 5

  • @ScreamingFrog fair enough then, i wasn't trying to raise hell after all, but i do like reading darren bluel, and credit where credit is due he did beat you guys to the punch! anyway i am a subscriber, and I look forward to more awesome vids!

  • "But you must speak Java."

    "My whole life." :D

  • it is funny, not too far from current reality, therefore, bit sad too. However, I would hope this to happen to those wall street-ers and financial criminals who actually brought this time upon us.

  • I don't get it!

  • God sent me

  • This was funny the first time I saw it. Not so funny now.........

    

  • employment has become a tyrannical-democratic anarchy.

    Yes, I enjoyed/disliked the original video.

  • Where is this place? Do lot of people come by looking for workers?  I just finished school and need a job. I was thinking if I offer my services really cheap, I may be able to get picked up.

  • Darren Bluel did this as a webcomic 11 years ago!

    nukees . com / d / 19970203 . html

  • JORGE PORTER

  • Too bad this movie hits so close to home :( At first it was funny, now it's just prophetic.

  • Great film!

    Too bad it is not in better quality.

  • This is an accurate prediction of Americas future. We allow illegal immigrants into our country, and why? Not to give them hope, not to give them a dream to follow, but to take advantage of them. Companies are saying to themselves "What are these spics going to do? Gain intelligence, rise up and throw us out of power? Never!" More immigrants are taking advantages of opportunities that we've taken forgranted. And you know what I think? "In the land of oppertunity, may the best man win!"

  • Unfortunately, unemployment is also high in Mexico. It's why they're all sneaking north of the border. In reality, this movie would be more along the lines of Americans begging Australians for a jobs, and then hopping into the back of a Holden Ute.

  • at least we are doing it legally

  • This is an awesome video!

  • LMAO

    

  • LOLOLOLOL! EPIC

  • omg..my computer crashed and I lost this! Couldn't remember the name but luckily I found it again :o)

    Having grown up in So. Calif, and AZ I would always see white contractors picking up day laborers and that video just made me scream and laugh, what a twist! Not to mention a totally clever idea to film.

    From an old white lady who grew up with lots of Mexican friends..thanks so much for this, it doesn't matter how many times I watch it it still makes me laugh, I love it!.

    Robyn 

  • VIVA MEXICO!!!

  • Soon we will see this all over the US. It's not a joke.......

     Thanks to our smart government. We know how to take cere of other nation problems but not our own.........wake up America!

  • @szunaj415 Yeah, wake up, America! Apply the same laws to the corporate crooks who have screwed us all as you do to the blue-collar crooks who hold up the occasional bank. If it is illegal for people to rob banks, it needs to be illegal for banks to rob people.The fact that Goldman Sachs execs and others like them have never been prosecuted for their crimes and are still raking in billions proves that Big Biz owns our government -- all 3 branches, executive, legislative, and judicial.

  • Oh My God !!! - I can't believe this :)

  • lmfao omg, this was hilarious

  • Brilliant.  And, unfortunately, not too far from the morbid truth of our unemployment crisis in the US.

  • 180!

  • I'm a big fan of this piece...not only is a great concept, but as a film maker, it is shot nicely. I'm really curious what camera this was shot on? How long did it take you to shoot and if you feel comfortable answering this, what was the total budget? once again, great job!

  • @CommCraftsmenGroup - Thank you so much for your kind words. I am glad that you enjoy it so much. It was shot on the HVX 100 with Redrock lenses. (We also had an amazing DP.) We shot for 1 day. This was the first film shot by Screaming Frog Productions. Like all of our other films, it was paid for by my wife and myself...with a great deal of support. Everyone worked for deferred pay and we found a producer who got us a great deal on the equipment. We are lucky to share the dream.

  • @ScreamingFrog Thank you for positing. This video is really inspiring. It looks like big budget movie quality. I have been looking for a camera to use to film rugby matches so I'm going to look into that lens.

  • nice

  • looks like 239 Illegals watched this! (# thumbs down at this point)

    Brilliant job!

  • @faronfan looks like one ignorant idiot commented on this! (yes, you)

  • In the USA you find the job, in Soviet Russia job finds you.

  • @Ninelon in that case id rather live in soviet russia -_____-

  • @Msugarpuss, there is no soviet russia,,,russia is no longer a "soviet" .....nor is there a USSR anymore.....wake up Rip Van Winkle! BTW, there's an acute unemployment problem in Russia, too!

  • I love this video! X>} It's so well made, too, a lot of effort was put into making it look professional.

  • hahahahahaha!!!

  • thanks for the support and video

  • Big Brother is watching the comments you put here. You cant just post anything.

  • This is Awesome!!!

  • hi everybody do you still have a boss

  • yea but real businessmen would just start their own businesses

  • @CaslineT

    Imagine a world full of business owners. One wo/man (+family) and no one else working for them.... U get the point. Very unlikely scenario.

    Business models are usually unfair. The adage "make other people work for your money." Maybe thats what you have in mind, and its not ur fault. Thats just how things work in the real world. Business models are unfair and tilting it in the favour of the employer. Hence the incentive to have your own business and hold on to it.

  • cont'd

    Coming to my point. I just dont know how the 'business owners' sleep at night.

  • Haven't seen the video since it first came out. Forgot how great it is and timely!

  • awesome

  • Excellente!

  • genial

  • HA!!!!lol

  • Been there, done that. Oops, am there, am doing that. Will spreadsheet for food. God Bless.

  • i wish! white people have been fucking the world for a long time. seems appropriate for this to happen. but it wont.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHA

    amazing. love it.

  • Amazingly funny. Maybe sad, too. But still funny.

  • hmzbrauche dringend beschäftigung bin so einsam! Jemand lust zu chatn

  • Good job, Bravo!

  • Super funny!

  • That was too funny..... I've picked up some good Hispanic fellows to help me load and unload my home with the Uhaul a couple of times, paid them a decent wage, and fed them pizza and soda. Was cheaper than using a service, couldn't afford that. So, I'm thankful.

  • @leeuniverse you seem to miss the point of this video completly

  • Scary..

  • Brilliant!

  • Brilliant!

  • Brilliant!

  • MEXICAN PAY BACK

  • man i was 7-11 yesterday and i couldn't find any rich executives to mow my lawn. WTF

  • that's because they are already behind the counters - damm AIG

  • jajajjaa ... jajajaja

  • In USA we bail out rich assholes who screw US over. Poor people always get screwed!

  • America and Europe is competing with totalitarian capitalism (China, Russia is on comeback, and look at Saudis/Dubai. Everything is owned by one family for heavens). All these 'bailout' measures are just to cope with that reality. Europe will implode under its consumer-protecting-oriented system. So in order to beef the cap-lib governments they are financing the big-corporations with tax-payers money just to compete. As the saying goes, "if you cant beat the beast than become the beast itself."

  • @failef yeah, just don't mention the NWO or I'll puke on my keyboard, I'm getting sick of reading comments about that, bailout measures, I don't think they know what else to do, I wish there were more rules about what corporations can and can't do with the bailout money.

  • irónico y hasta realista

  • what's teh deal?

  • We receive so many spam responses on this video that I had to set it for "approve" before posting.

    Both postings that enjoy/dislike the video will be posted. I am just trying to weed out the spam.

  • test

  • I just think this is funny! And Ironic. And FUNNY!

  • @femmewriter it may not be ironic soon.

  • Outstanding

  • Well, the problem began once upon a time when u vote for Bush..yes...bad goverment does that..then points the finger to whomever..and all the idiots that voted..would rather think it is the Mexicans...nope..it couldn't be bad goverment..or bad choices of a bad President...but wherever works you all.

  • 7userid, i'm not a bush fan, but these problems started way before bush, you could easily place blame on clinton for nafta, nixon for defacing us monetary policy ect ect ect..... americas been living on borrowed money for years..

    btw este video es increíble.

  • rofl :)

    the joke.

  • good work!!! can I see with italian subtitle????

  • The Job has screened in Italy a number of times and there might be an Italian Subtitled version out there, but we don't have one. I will let you know if we get one.

  • @ScreamingFrog - Jonathan, I can do a translation for you and you can post a 2nd copy with the Italian in the annotations if you want.

  • @Barrysentials - That would be great!

  • @mapissima

    LOOOOL ahahah what 4?

  • This makes me laugh every time I watch it!

  • echt lustig !...wie aus dem echten leben ;-)

  • i love it !!!...almost the same situation here in germany ! ...with the guys from Poland,Czechia or Turkish .....Great !!!

  • TURBOLILA, you missed the point of this movie. Polish, Czechs and Turkish don't hire hight qualigfied Germans from banking sector ;-P

  • winpop,.........you really think the Mexicans to this in the US ? :-(

  • my teacher is a friend with one of the producers

    a teacher that is so hard and strict

    has a friend...

  • government blames all of there problems on there not being enough jobs but that isnt it. there aren't many jobs because of all the regulation and steps you have to go through to start making them. hong kong went from a tiny piece of crap village to one of the most prominant cities if not the most successful in no time because the government said, "go ahead and start your business and we will see what happens." mexico should look into that. as should india. they have the people and the resources.

  • serves the banksters right

  • funny

  • Just original!!! Ja,ja,ja,ja,ja! This is how those people feel trying to get some food for their families. Desesperation and the reality with the American people is not too far since at this very moment there families that have nothing to eat, or any money to pay their bills.

  • lol...

    the arbitrary vices of humans.

  • Long live the saturated market place!

  • oh uh

  • great!!!

  • Pa que se eduquen los gueros...

  • wtf

  • awesome

  • OMG!!! That is so freaking hilarious!!!

    Good work! :-)

  • FUGA DE CEREBROS...???

    XP

  • Great!

  • lol...

  • Couldn't stop laughing!

  • Best thing I watched in a while!!! LOL

  • tHIS IS DOPE...BAILOUT BY JR EWNG.

  • It's clear there wasn't a single political corrections manager hired for this movie.

  • funny. though i think that the most PC people are the ones that would find this the most funny

  • This is what would have happened if Bush could rule for another 8 yeras. Financial crisis - extra large.

  • haahaha diz is funny!!! hope they do the job and at the end the mexicans dnt pay em jzt like the white people do to the mexicans

  • hahahhahahhaaha GJ ....

  • We can do without white collars but nothing would get done if it was`nt for blue collars.

    excellent video btw

  • Am I missing something? I don't get it. Why is there an inverse?

  • It's a general jab at the poor economy.

  • that was a good one

  • Genius. I found this so hilarious b/c I used to be the guy driving the truck picking up guys for my fathers construction business...

  • awesome job !! lol

  • hha wake up what you seeing it,s funny . America haven,t got a root , then what you are talking about the immigrants hahah

  • well i guess I'm the first to say i don't like it. :\ It ridicules struggling immigrant day laborers in America.

  • Its a play on day laborers.

  • Awesome! LMAO Great job!

  • Still waiting for the Truck to come to our corner.

    Great Video, I loved sharing it.

  • This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. It's good to find humor in this economy.

  • can anyone tell me what song this is when the truck comes along? I really appreciated if I can get that information.

  • It's called Mariachi. We purchased it through Royalty Free Music. The other music is composed by Kevin MacLeod.

  • @ScreamingFrog funny, there's a corner store where I live, at one point there were around 200 latinos near it, plus up & down the road, looking for work. Then this protestor came along and stood right next to them with a sign that said deport illegals, then he brough friends with video cameras taking pictures of everything and everybody as a scare tactic. It was a real circus.

  • Great video!.

  • so fuking funny omg haha

    one day america..this will actually happen haha

  • Not only in America. Also in EU!

  • Canada too!

  • With Neo-communism ravaging most of Central America and a great part of South America, as well as a weak left-wing president at the helm of the U.S., this is not just a joke. It's a potential reality. It's already happening in southern countries. Unemployment is at an incredible all time high. Even for highly trained professionals.

  • The video isn't about unemployment.

  • I imagine the ignorance of Americans, as evidenced by this remark, is what will keep them from being employed.

  • the other side of the coin for a better tomorrow!

  • Can't believe people think this is funny, it's wishful thinking

  • That doesn't even make sense. You know, to have a conversation you have to make an attempt to "make sense" to your audience. Conversing as if you were in front of a mirror just doesn't cut it.

  • It is a job? :))))

  • Awesome! Made me think as hard as it made me laugh!

  • Andre, andre, arriva! Yo soy loco en cabeza!

  • your film is hilarious!!!

  • lol hilarious! i love this video!

  • FANTASTIC!!!!

  • What goes around comes around bitches!!!! LOL

  • This is what you call Hope for Change in Obama's America....

  • The man has been on the job for 65 days. How do you think McCain/Palin would've done thus far? The DOW would be around 6500 and the top 1% would've got another tax cut. Chill out and let him try something at least instead of hoping he fails.

  • @crashfamily

    He's a socialist Alinskite who's in the process of destroying America's infrastructure. I HOPE HE FAILS. 15% unumployment, trillions of dollars in debt and deficit, kowtowing to foreign despots, eviscerating our national security, government takeover of banks, private industry and healthcare. How's that "change" working out for ya?

  • so you prefer invading countries that have nothing to do with terrorism instead of going after the actual terrorists. You repubs have no credability at this point, sometimes I think the louder you yell Obama sucks, the more you hope it will take the attention off of what Bush did. At least the bailout doesn't kill people, and if you remeber, bush bailed the banks out when he was in office, and nobody had a problem with that. Would you prefer foreign companies swoop ion and buy our banks?

  • @crashfamily And what do you think of Obama today? LOL

  • The problem in America is that we do not build anymore!

    I actually manufacture furniture in Manhattan!

    I am a dying breed!

  • shoe on the other foot. love this video. thanks.

  • Only thing I can say is: "what goes around come around !!"

    kkkkk

  • Oh come on baby! LOL

  • from the title I thought it was going to be some bullshit about minorities or women's rights or some other waste of time but it was not bad. Kind of long for a quick punchline but worth it none the less.

  • "my whole life" lol

    I actually saw this video last year but that line was very funny this time

  • AH! One day my friends, one day...

  • It won't be funny when it happens to me.

  • excellent vid!

  • ROFLMFAO!!!!! This was Awesome! HAHAHA;p

  • I have been sent this video by SEVERAL people...and I LOVE IT!

  • Once of the best films at the time!

  • This is very poignant

  • you re dem right

  • Hey.. but who used to pick up who?... American bros.. acknowledge the value of the undergrounders!!

  • You son of a bitch

  • Almost prophetic - the 'posted' date for this video is almost eight months *before* the American economy tanked.

  • Absolutely Hilarious!!!!

  • Absolutely Hilarious!!! I love it!!!

  • Viva la rasa!
