I love how oblivious he is. Come on now, let's laugh at ourselves! He has more than a little of the Autistic in him, I'd say!!!

I'm with all the way on these. Yeah, to have the chance/option to meet some new folks would be really good again. And overambitious bosses - ugh, yeah. I had a very poor boss at a charity too. Two very nice ones, one really not nice - and, as you say, overambitious and selfish (probably a bit damaged at heart -the trouble being that some people try to patch over their own damage through subtle bullying - oh well).
Thank you. I'm sending good wishes your way too. I'm also sick of Covid. It's virtually impossible to meet any new people. I never used to much anyway but I'd at least like to try.
I'm sure society is failing you. I feel it fails many of us Autistic people. Too many barriers and lack of accommodations.
I'd also like a boss like Brent, if I was working! He doesn't seem overambitious so isn't pushing people too much. It's bosses who are always strict who are the worst. When I volunteered in charity shops, even in them the people above me were very stern!
If it's any consolation, my motivation is shot to pieces and has been for a few months. The last two months has been the worst I've ever been for motivation I think. I feel like it'll pass (or begin to gradually recover) once all the c*vid sh*te is over with.
I feel like society is failing me more than me failing at the moment.
I hope a bit of motivation returns for you. If it's possible to not be too hard on yourself, that could be good ?
Wishing you well either way.
PS another quality clip from Mr Brent giving it his all. I think I'd get along ok with him as a boss. He might be a jerk, but at least he doesn't give too much of a monkeys.
Being nervous and saying something, then realising straight/soon after that it's the total opposite of what should have been said. The number of times that happens. Mostly for me it's in interviews - though not about people's breasts thankfully(!)
Yeah, it's really well done. You can feel/sense his own awkwardness and the awkwardness (and contempt?) of his audience/team watching.
There are so many clever subtle touches. As his jokes fail to get laughs his breathing gets heavier. He stands up too early. The way he's using notes shows he's not really confident. He really wants to be liked but you can see he's insecure.
Very different comedy and it's interesting how popular it was, despite its very different approach. Classic indeed.
