Because Lord knows I have been today, watching episodes of a podcast called “Scotty Got An Office Job.” Scott Iseri is a theatrical sound designer and freelancer who got an office job (and has now, apparently, lost it, though I have some doubts as to whether that episode was a put-on) and immediately started making deadpan little goofy comedy shorts, mostly surreptitiously on his laptop’s built-in camera. They’re of the you’ll-either-find-this-hilarious-or-stupid variety, and so far his sense of absurdity (personal and office-related) has me hooked. Here’s a good example:
Unlike a lot of internet comedy things… they’re really, really well edited. (I know that’s a strange thing to say about something that was basically in one take, but see a bunch and you’ll see how crisp his comedy timing and filmmaking timing is.) The easiest way to see the lot of them is here.
