Let's Do the Hand Job Jive!

You've probably already seen this in some incarnation, but I have to pass it on anyway. I first saw it yesterday, courtesy of my old friend Joanna Goddard of A Cup of Jo.



Of course, the first thing you think when you watch it is that it's funny and cute. Then, after about fifteen seconds, you realize that it's going to go on for another two and a half minutes. Maybe you become slightly alarmed. Then you begin to feel impressed with the amount of practice that must have gone into it. After a while, you begin to think about the evolution of the routine: did they add one move a day? How long did it take them? And finally, if you're like me, you find yourself a bit wistful--wishing you had a coworker that you felt this much camaraderie with.

However, I do think the exemplarity of this scene implied by its YouTube title is probably overstated. I'm pretty sure that, during commercials, my local news anchors just hiss at each other like lizards.

Fosco, The Action News 8 team does not hiss at each other. They drink. This is very, very clear. Dan, in particular, must put away a pint of hard, mean whiskey per 30 minute segment. It's possible that Erin just drinks a bottle of wine (straight from the bottle).

The first thing I thought was that they must really like each other, which is always nice to see.

@BeeMaster: pervert.

@Jill: Yes, I like it when coworkers like each other. Especially in jobs where it's easy to be narcissistic divas.

@KFR: Well, that actually explains a lot. For one thing, it explains why Dennis Lehnen never seems to know where he is or what he's doing.
