This from the same article is pretty revealing as well.

I always found it weird when people in management roles say they like office space. What do you mean? You are the manager character. They are making fun of you

He needed to rewatch the entire movie to say one line?

My manager (in a soulless, email job office) is a die hard Severance fan and started raving to me about season two when it started and I was just like wtf

It's amazing the cognitive dissonance people have between media that critiques office culture and their lived experience

They made the managers too likeable. You've gotta make at least one of them an actual sociopath that smiles with joy because they caused one of their employees to cry.

Satires of cruelty just become cruelty porn for the people they’re satirizing

Classsic redditor behavior, only ever having a single “joke” and beating it to death for the next 50 years

It's the same shit as when he said the cyber truck should look like something from Blade Runner. Like bro, Blade Runner is not fucking aspirational!

He is the collective manifestation of every reddit-logo trope ever. He has deliberately constructed his personality this way because Reddit broadly thought he was cool in the 2010s, so he decided to lean into everything they loved until he became a Reddit tulpa. It's deeply pathetic.

I even saw two cubes in his pocket. I think he has dice, but he's afraid to show them to anyone.

That can’t be a real quote.

Nah it's a reference to "I think you should leave" who-did-this

Did you see Elon's hat? What the fuck even is it?

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 61 points 3 weeks ago

Well he’s not intentionally funny

[–] sourquincelog@hexbear.net 56 points 3 weeks ago

He should be forced to stay on to make everyone in the administration miserable. We all have a coworker we hate

it's taking longer than expected, but i'm glad it's finally happening

[–] Cimbazarov@hexbear.net 39 points 3 weeks ago

Don't know what these people are talking about, I find billionaire-tears hilarious. Just not in the way he intends to be

[–] WoodScientist@hexbear.net 35 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I imagine the punchline of every one of his jokes is simply that the subject is some racial or gender minority.

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

I guarantee they're not even real jokes, just quotes and pop culture references. I bet he doesn't even use wordplay, never mind a whole setup and punchline.

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 33 points 3 weeks ago

Finding out the hard way that his crowd loves his money and not him.

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 23 points 3 weeks ago

I am become da meme

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 20 points 3 weeks ago

I so wish that it turns out that the person who said that was Trump.

Dude really thinks he's Kekius Maximus.
