Why it worked

The video likely worked due to its escalating absurdity and shock value, playing on the relatable trope of a quirky coworker. The rapid-fire, unexpected punchlines and the creator's deadpan delivery create a humorous and shareable experience.

Summary

The video depicts a woman sharing a series of increasingly bizarre and inappropriate anecdotes, framed as the thoughts of a "weird but lovable" coworker. She starts by mentioning an itchy rash and a desire to present, then transitions to a strange comment about a safari trip and gorilla mating videos, followed by a shocking confession about putting breast milk in her coffee. The humor escalates with a false hantavirus diagnosis and a comment about a bombed building, concluding with a question about urine color.

Structure

Coworker who's a little weird but you still keep them around

Transcript

Ya I actually have this weird itchy rash but um I'm also itching to get into this presentation. Oh!!! Bill that's awesome that you're going on safari this summer. If you get any videos of the gorillas making love, you know where to send them. Sandra the breastfeeding mother! I put a bit of your breast milk into my coffee this morning. Yes I put a bit of your breast milk into my coffee this morning. My 10:00 AM wasn't actually a meeting. It was an appointment. And I tested positive for hantavirus. "Beautiful building" Ya it actually got bombed about 20 years ago. How yellow should your pee be? Is it closer to brown dirt? Or is it closer to clear water?
