[ronaldcorreatv]

Her eyes are hypnotizing..

[xJoeEDangerouslyx]

It always drives me nuts how many illiterate jackasses spell "woman" w/ an "E." And then when I mention it, like the "there/their/they're" thing or when to use an apostrophe properly, people respond calling me an asshole because "who cares how "ppl" spell on THE INTERNET!!!" Exclamations & misplaced capitals in tow. If you're not American, can you please tell these idiots that you laugh at us because we're so illiterate? Because you do. My cousins in Germany, Greece & England all tell me so.

[Hardstyleqt]

@xJoeEDangerouslyx your stoopid u grammer nazi. ppl dont care about stoopid stuff like that their more concerned about stuff like laughing at jackasses like u hahahahahaha btw your the illiterate one cause you used the wrong form of your. u mad nerd?

[h0rnd0917]

Is it just me or is havin an affair with your boss the biggest stake you can play in politics here?

[cheeseylemon]

Its sad that adults still mock the young generation that are in many ways smarter and better than them

[anonymousman555]

@cheeseylemon You are stupid for saying that.

[noobtube152]

@cheeseylemon SOOOOOOOOOOOOO TRUE!!!!!!!!! i tell ppl that ALL THE TIME and NOBODY LISTENS TO ME AND SAYS THAT THEY ARE SMARTER AND SUPERIOR BECAUSE THEY ARE OLDER!!!!!! everyone put this guys comment on every video you can!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lordblazer]

This is funny but its kinda true. most young adults really don't fucking care about petty bullshit seeing that they're the last hired and first fired category. And then if their skill set is the most needed in a company well then there is no incentive to care what the single fat woman thinks about the rules of color printing machines? want me to buy ink for the week so she can just STFU and GTFO.

[hectiky]

The "Friendly Reminder" note with the crossed out name was gold.

[SnoBlackMelbkour]

The fat bag's name is Shawna?? Shouldn't she be getting kicked out of a tanning salon?

[vjm3]

You're working at your desk, getting stuff done.

Fat single ugly office women in her mid 40's comes by and "politely" suggests you use the little color-coded tags to organize your paperwork (despite it being organized alphebetically).

You ignore her, because you've got more important things to do, like be productive.

She returns and says the same thing, every single day.

Eventually you get mad and yell that it's not important and needs to leave you alone.

You're fired. She justifies her life.

[cf80to01]

@vjm3 Since you can't spell alphabetically correct, I'm guessing the ugly woman had a good point.

[cyanmanta]

@vjm3 Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays...

[Pielord09]

I bet almost every single person who cares about office politics is single, and the remaining have their partners ask themselves why did they every marry this pathetic excuse for a human being through just being so

[evolvingblackrose]

[TimeManInJail]

is coporate control same thing as communism?

[ataraxic89]

@TimeManInJail communism is the lack of a governing body in which the group works together for the betterment of the group, sharing property and resources freely as needed.

[alwayzAngry]

@TimeManInJail you know what... i have asked myself the same question....

[MrMetalinyourhead]

You are so fucking lame. Get a life. Tool, robot! Thats what you are. Your child is hurt and in the hospital but you cannot leave because you have a career to worry about. America and society is fed up. We are tired of lies scandals and the entire illusion of a caring government. The money is fake. You are a slave. Work your ass off and for what? Bills bills and more bills. Taxes repossessed cars and homes. You are old and know nothing anymore. It is a different ballgame.

[Insertmybadnamehere]

@MrMetalinyourhead Are you speaking to anyone in particular or are you just crazy?

[mrcomedy454]

@Insertmybadnamehere He isn't crazy, he's pretty much spot on to what our lives are like. Can you refute anything that he just said?

[Insertmybadnamehere]

@mrcomedy454 Yes. he seems to be ranting to nobody. I'm not lame, I have a life and i'm not a tool or a robot. I live in Australia and am 16 but when I had to go to hospital my mum left her job to go and visit me and make sure that I was ok. Personally I think America does have a government that cares. They ARE normal american citizens that where elected by more American citizens. You don't have to pay bills, if you don't want electricity ect. Those companies need money. Finally i'm not old.

[mrcomedy454]

@Insertmybadnamehere Not really. You are voting for two "pre-selected" candidates that were chosen from a small group of people. Which both candidates are told to carry out the same agenda, doesn't matter who's elected. If McCain was president instead of Obama we would still be slowly dissolving into a corporatist America. The government isn't doing what's in the best interest of the public, it's doing what's the best interest for fortune 500 companies.

Prime Example: Bailout Bill

[Insertmybadnamehere]

@mrcomedy454 I did not vote for Obama or McCain. Never will. I'm Australian.

[Pentdad]

@mrcomedy454 Anyone independantly wealthy who does not require the funding of the fortune 500, the jewish lobby, the oil men etc used to be terminated (JFK, RFK) but now, with full media control, it is much easier just to discredit any of these people. If Bill gates became Prez he would be the best you've ever had- but he won't, as he would be terminated and he knows it.

[parkersgr8]

@mrcomedy454 If everyone in congress had the same agenda and were both working for the same fortune 500 companies, wouldn't they be getting along? No, the parties are divided based on their approach to how to solve the countries problems. Plus, the candidates are pre selected, by the voters of the party, american people, anyone can vote for candidates if they change their official party to that party. Plus, the people do have the final say in who gets elected, not companies.

[ataraxic89]

@Insertmybadnamehere I love you.. lol Someone who doesnt think that everything is always corrupt

[steaiii]

@MrMetalinyourhead I get that you're pissed.... but most of that is your fault you realize... You're supposed to put back money for taxes on cars and homes and NOT LIVE OVER YOUR MEANS that means get the crap car or the smaller house. at least you still have a job. Too Old? who are you referring to? Don't talk about "America" and "Society" like you speak for them. Most of your issues are your own. you bought the stuff that MADE the bills.

[samann95014]

i'm am old gen x guy but still hates office politics.

[javydavy543]

I do just feel sorry for that assistant.

[javydavy543]

Did you guys see the website links? "Listening in on co-workers phone calls? Brown nosing 101? Who to befriend and who to turn against?" Is this some kind of fucking joke?? What is wrong with the world? Im not surprised Americans show a lack of empathy and have no time for each other. This is just sad.

[echeemuun]

@javydavy543

.... I know that you Europeans are very serious and extremely inept at humor, but this is ridiculous. I sincerely hope you're just trolling. I hate to think someone this stupid actually figured out how to use a computer and watch a satirical news network's videos. If that IS the case, however, I'm impressed considering the amount of intelligence you apparently do not hold.

[Protains]

@javydavy543 why yes, it is a joke. satire poking fun at how some/most offices run.

[indigothecat]

I don't even know if I should take this seriously.

[asspirate45]

the little news stories running across the bottom of the screen are always funny, but i feel bad because hardly anyone reads them

[Wildturkeyrtcw]

No one cares about your cubicle swag, tie wearing monkeys

[robotpanda77]

At least she doesnt live in a office dictatorship. She should be happy.

[saintkatanalegacy]

brown-nosing 101 lol

[Sanchoblade83]

Shawna Davis should devote more time to working as opposed to playing office politics and enforcing rules.She is probably the boss's pet dog. While everyone like Steven is working their asses off, this bitch is busy labeling every fucking object in sight, even the water cooler. Give thumbs up if you agree!

[Ugabuga9]

@Sanchoblade83 how retarted areyou?:D

[LolCaramelz]

@Ugabuga9

How stupid are you? you spelled 'retarded' 'retarted'. It doesn't even fucking sound like that, I don't understand you could spell it that way.

[Ugabuga9]

@LolCaramelz ah, just rape yourself

[Indrius]

It's always a fat single woman who gives a shit about office politics. Every office has one.

[PrincessaSophie]

@Indrius It was a fat single man in my workplace. Nobody gave a hoot what he thought anyway.

[TheEvilOyo2]

[SatanicSBA]

[forcuera]

lacy keep your problems to yourself, crapping about it here wouldn't solve the problem is real life and you obviously have issues.

[dmdrummer23]

@LacyB71 good point, but unnecessary use of THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON and just terrible grammar, spelling etc. Just thought i'd say that...

[superdiego5]

thats why hes lacyb71

[GKid51892]

@LacyB71....strong with the Force young LacyB71 is

[Beastorig244]

I ROFLed so hard on this comment

[Monkor001]

"this petty bullshit is the foundation of our work life"

[Frank87]

This is funny and unfortunately very true. It's a shame that people get used to politicking and talking behind people's backs in the office.

[LacyB71]

Yup because God forbid your decent looking and SMART because idiots who lack at their job don't get the fact that your raises and promotions are due to work ethics, work ability, the fact you work more hours than anyone and get more accounts than anyone instead they LIE and say oh she is pretty she must b sleeping w/ the boss when the boss is some1 your dog wouldn't even sleep w/ let alone you. JEALOUSY SUCKS AT THE OFFICE. Get a clue work, at work, and at home and you'll get the same treatment

[Bozewani]

Office politics is bs

You are there to do your job.

That is what the Onion is trying to say...

[sexyboy316]

[yoyojumpy]

Everyone would be intrested in office politics if their boss was Steve Carell.

[dlmd1015]

You guys know this is a joke ... right?

[Uprisingdownfall]

Office politics are never a joke. You young people just don't understand anymore.

[zellmer]

Yeah, Shawna is like so many of the fat, ugly, worthless, annoying workers everywhere.... Although to be fair they're usually so freaking huge that they can't say that many words or move that much.

[StuUngar]

Hahaha, so funny. I have one across the hall from my office. I'm sure she'd gladly tell the boss if she knew I was watching YT videos at work.

They always seem to look like the lady in this video.

[oDTheTruth]

Because they don't get laid and have nothing better to do, so they eventually get semi-fat and grotesque looking.

I believe THATS why all the office snitches look like the lady in the video.

[adham2b]

that woman is a bonafied phsyco

somebody shoot her

[dshey843]

lol so true...old ppl take things way too personal @ work

[sexibecca58]

That lady is a bitch!!! Who cares what you use the copy machine for??? Snitch is what she is!!

[freddy8finger]

this petty bullshit is the foundation of our office life LOL

[nedsneebly]

lol this is obviously a joke.

[mramz88]

ya my first job was at a telemarketer and i was surrounded by 500lb cunty women who complained about everything.

[gazz12345a]

Shawna reminds me of most of the middle aged women I work with. Bitches.

[GTtheEpic]

this reminds me of the office because of all the interesting characters

[bratwerstninja]

i thought this was serious until i saw it was onion lol

[XIPM3]

[excandersham]

[ukendcx2000]

[Quizoid]

I wish I could read the water cooler. "If you don't tell us your birthday..."

"This petty bullshit is the foundation of our work life."

[j5bmorehh]

[KnightRyder666]

I Want to Fuck Andrea Bennet.

[KundaliniBrat]

[Roopa132]

[edmack4me]

Office politics is only for the sheeple ie pee brains. Who cares about trivials.

[paerarru]

This is what's wrong with young people today. They're all caught up in the environment, human rights, peace efforts around the world and other crap like that and they completely neglect the truly important issues, like office politics.

[luke666808g]

wrong, we don`t give a fuck about that stuff either.

[Gastrophetes]

Disregard my earlier comment.

1:43

That was awesome.

[DaveO15]

[lizardboy16]

I concur.

[Jabo007Celt]

The bullshit from people over 40 in the biz/financial world is the reason why we are so fucked up right now. Maximum waste and maximum inefficiency over retarded bullshit

I hate office politics so much. It's like being on Survivor.

[insaneangelstudio]

that woman is scary

[MechaFright]

what exactly is this parodying? i almost am grasping the entire thing, but what in particular is it parodying?

[darktalonaaa]

It's just a fake newscast about young people not caring about office politics. Not actually a parody.

[lyycurgus]

its parodying office politics duh

[mistaspot1]

Then we get fired for not being the "right fit".

Maybe we just don't give a shit about your pathetic lives.

[EricDutemple]

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it, So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.

[AgentGhost]

Fucking eh!

[cireyenned]
