| 00:00 - 00:03 | The public is questioning your decision to support the Downfall parody sacking. |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | They say you dont understand that the meme doesnt compare people to Hitler. |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | Rather, it suggests the subject is under intense pressure and refuses to accept reality as their position deteriorates
|
| 00:08 - 00:12 |
and the humour comes from the absurd juxtaposition of Hitlers downfall with a mundane situation. |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | Thats what makes it funny. |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | The meme was not funny, |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | it was insubordination. |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | But
it is funny though. |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | Its funny. |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | If it literally suggests the subject is Hitlerish, the joke falls flat. |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | Everybody else gets it. |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Alright, I need to explain something to my assistants. |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | I made my order! |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | The fairness of this sacking was an order! |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | Who are you, that you dare resist my order? |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | If I say this meme is not funny, I mean it. |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | Its unfunny and its offensive! |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | I ordered that a reasonable person would agree with me! |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | And if the public disagrees, well
|
| 01:37 - 01:40 | They are a bunch of unreasonable morons! |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | Hold on now, surely whats reasonable should reflect the publics views? |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | Nothing but UNREASONABLE, UNGRATEFUL MORONS!!! |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | Steady on
they understand the joke, so
|
| 01:48 - 01:52 | The Australian public are uppity, disrespectful imbeciles! |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | I understand humour! |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | For years, I worked as a corporate lawyer, |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | defending employers against ungrateful, insubordinate unionists. |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | So I understand how damaging a joke can be. |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | Joking about your boss during bargaining can NEVER be humorous! |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | When you sign a contract
you sign away your right to joke with your colleagues about your boss! |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | You sign away more than your labour. |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | Your employer demands, commands the respect of his underlings. |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | Traitors
|
| 02:30 - 02:34 | I have worked
my entire life! |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | To protect employers. |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | What a betrayal. |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | What a monstrous betrayal by the Australian people! |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | But things are going to change around here. |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | We Fair Work Commissioners will make them change. |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | WE WILL ENSURE THAT WORKERS |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | RESPECT THEIR EMPLOYERS! |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | In a neutral way, of course. |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | Of course I will be neutral. |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | The employment contract is always neutral. |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | It is an agreement. |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | By definition, its fair. |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | And if your employment contract incorporates corporate policies that strip you of free speech
|
| 03:46 - 03:49 | So be it! You will submit or be sacked |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | I dont understand the meme
|
