If you've worked in retail or the service industry, there's almost always a guy like this that likes to hang out and talk to the staff. He doesnt work there, he just likes the captive audience.
I used to work for a software company and there was one of these who would always come to every public event/demo we had in one particular city. When I first started I thought he worked for the local office. Nope! He just really loved having out with us for some weird reason.
I love the implied backstory to his relationship with the receptionist. Obviously he’s asked her out before and she let him down easy by saying “Sorry, I’ve got a boyfriend.” But because she doesn’t want him to become a menace, when he asks her for further info on her fictional beau, she tells him he’s police.
I used to work in a warehouse with a guy who’d say “Friday, eh?” and “I can almost taste that first beer already” all day every Friday. Yes, this was in Canada so picture that in the most stereotypical hoser accent possible.
I haven't watched this one in a while, but it's pretty fantastically put together. There MUST be at least two or three invisible cuts in here, no way Bruce puts on his Cathy gear and gets around Mark in time, nor for Scott to go from Kathy in the cubicle to Danny in the bathroom. But the whole thing feels like a single shot anyway.
When I had the chance to work from home some of the time, I made sure it was Fridays and Mondays. Nothing makes me want to lose my shit more than a dozen "Plans for the weekend?" "Have a good weekend!" "How was your weekend?" over and over and over again. It just makes me a feel like a massive loser because I don't have plans, but take things as they come. Now I don't have to hear it at all.
I hate how it just drives home that I am trapped in the rat race and the teeny sliver of a weekend is the only chance to catch up on life and enjoyment.
I actually always do it in the company Friday morning coffee breaks, just to find out how sad some of my colleagues are. Even though we are all working from home, we are expected to socialise remotely.

I feel for you Danny; it's always annoying when a coworker starts talking to you at the urinal. It always is the kind of conversation you'd simply walk away from under any other circumstance.

@@JanetStarChild No, I think it helps you to accept it. Here you can buy a penile prosthetic to compensate for your inferiority complex. You can "pack, pee, play & pleasure" with it. www.freetomprosthetics.com/
I came close to being that guy. Bruce mentioning the pen reminds me never to borrow a pen from Bruce. He'll go crazy trying to get it back from the borrower.
i hate it when people ask "so how was your weekend, do anything fun?" no, were adults, we dont have that privilege anymore scott, we pay bills and try to drown out the internal screaming by binge watching netflix shows with a tub of low fat unsweetened ice cream and a sixer of cheap beer as we take one step closer to death and financial ruin
No one really cares either. People ask and then when you start explaining your weekend itinerary their eyes glaze over and they don't even listen. I don't know why people even bother asking. Work relationships are so phony. I go to work, make as much money as I possibly can, and get the fuck out when the bell rings lol.
I like to mess with those types. By telling them I'm depressed and don't know what direction I'm heading. Then see if they care. Exposes thier b.s. gesture every time.
@@p0llenp0ny Wow, where in Canada do you live bubba? Here in Vancouver, I usually make between $50-$60k a year and pay around 25%, and that’s with a lefty government. If you’re in Ontario, damn those Conservatives are realllly ripping you off!
Reminds me of the Humphrey Bogart film, Dark Passage, where you see a 3rd of the movie from a first person point of view, then Bogart in bandages all over his face, finally last third, Bogart playing Bogart. Kinda funny homage perhaps.
Pretty sure that's when it happens. You can notice a slight shift in color, just as there is a small but noticeable hop in the wood grain and color when he goes into the "executive suites" shortly thereafter.
Yeah, it's me too. Self-awareness doesn't mean anything. Sometimes you just can't stop annoying people even if you know that is what you are doing. It might make you annoy them even more with nonsense babble.
They must have cut during the white wall shot right after Scott and Bruce were holding each other's hands. Because Scott is in the bathroom 5 seconds later.

Great comment.
It's not critical as much as it is a celebration of life and oddity.
Mark is perfect for those characters. See also: Darill
that is so well put.... nailed it
I like how most of his co-workers are still respectful and nice to him, even though it's obvious they feel uncomfortable and awkward talking to him.
Lol, because they some social skills/self-awareness and he obviously has little/no self-awareness or social skills.

In his defence, that was a very weird looking pen.
The elevator opening into the backyard was actually a pretty cool shot
Wow. Every workplace has this guy...and it could be me...have a good weekend! 😄
Office Space before Office Space.
Have a good weekend!
To this day I still say “Super!” just like Scott does in the bathroom. 🤣🤣
Hey, me too, lol!🙂👍

"My father."

Every office has a Stan. Brilliant sketch.
It's me. 😂😂😂
I laughed at the giant AT&❤logo on the wall behind the receptionist.... it's so big and lovely yet obscured. It's tragically brilliant... 2:43
Can you imagine being the Kevin Macdonald character who has to sit in that room with him all day long??

I was literally just thinking about how impossible it was for each kid to change roles so quickly. Truly brilliant editing at work.
yeah i think it’s whenever they go to a blank wall
It's all one shot
@@mattjindrak so scott changed costumes completely in 17 seconds @1:57-2:16?
Perhaps the cut is right here (1:25) when Stan closes the door and the starts again when Stan bumps into Tom? Just a thought.🤔🤷
His laugh after the receptionist responds to him is one of the best things ever, HAHAHAHA.
We've all met this guy at one point in our life
I love it when Scott plays that character. He does it too well. "Super!"
That's just a Mitt Romney impression.
Gahan2Vox It’s strange to think that many comments on these KITH sketches were written ~10 years ago
Husk Musk.
This is easily their most relatable sketch. We all know someone like this lol
That elevator transition was pretty impressive given the year/budget this was made.
I love the match cut to the backyard with the elevator doors. Its so simple but adds such a great transition to the story. So awesome.

I’m the exact opposite of this guy. I literally walk out of work not saying goodbye to anyone lol
Same here, I sometimes can’t be bothered to say hello to everyone in the hall way four or fives times a day in passing that seems to be the trend.

"8 o'clock. Pitter pater, let's get at er!"
So it's NOT just a Letterkenny thing.

Long live suburbia!

What is the full name of Lou? I saw him do standup on JFL years ago but can't find him.
Thanks

You too! You gonna watch the hockey game?
Super
i love this show..never get bored of it...scott thompson is the best would be awesome to meet him one day
I love how it's one constant shot but bruce and scott play two completely different characters.
They totally didn't need to cut to Stan. Loved the POV.
I watched this sketch and had a good weekend.
Everyone has worked with a Stan. And it sucks but you still sign the card for his funeral.
seven guys had an average weekend
I actually used to work with a guy like this. He was totally oblivious to how everyone disliked him. They didn't hate him... they just found his childlike naivete annoying.

You did?!?!?!? That's amazing!! I can hardly believe it.
Nice speech impediment you got going there, Shane. ;)
it's called high functioning autism.
My goodness, you are a real mensch.
I made it to the weekend. What a fun Saturday I'm having.
I feel for you Danny; it's always annoying when a coworker starts talking to you at the urinal. It always is the kind of conversation you'd simply walk away from under any other circumstance.

Think they also cut at 1:00 ..... or Bruce is the world's fastest quick-change (clothes and makeup) artist
This is the weirdest episode of Peep Show
I came close to being that guy. Bruce mentioning the pen reminds me never to borrow a pen from Bruce. He'll go crazy trying to get it back from the borrower.

I like how Kevin’s character actually likes Stan. He’s the only one that doesn’t seem annoyed by him.
These guys were genius.
I sense a Michael Scott vibe here, of course this sketch predates The Office series.
This is the greatest skit next to sausages lol 😂
The humor this show exudes is amazing.
"It's five o'clock here on W C O C K"
Watch this every Friday at 4.50 pm in the office
Haha......
"Lou" is one of the Dave's from Bruce's "The Dave's I Know".

Cathy and Danny Husk LOL
Just think he's a manager at superstore now
Great skit. One of their best.

I would have sworn Stan was Kevin. In hindsound, it was obviously Mark
Multiple times he goes on about watching the hockey game, that night, but this clearly takes place in the middle of the summer.
Lol sometimes I feel like this guy at work
Onoe of my favorites too. The Japanese lady real cute.
His laugh is ridiculous there.
Wow it's me - and after reading some of the negative comments on this guy, it's definitely me!
Naw, you have some self-awareness so you can't be Stan, lol.
Cool!
