Omg that's awesome! I just made my wife watch it with me and we both have it stuck in our heads.

There were some similarly awkward training videos we were subjects to when I worked at contai.ner store, oh retail.

I got in a lot of trouble during training sessions because I was constantly talking smack about the videos when I worked at Pier 1.

I was a Pier 1 employee circa 2002 and I don't remember this specifically, but I do remember the training videos being turrible. It was a fun job for a college freshman and I remember that around Christmas time, our manager let us "damage out" a crap ton of ornaments and decor to take home with us, which is what made up for us getting paid $8/hr.

My husband covered his eyes too. And then asked, how was this not done ironically? So wonderfully bad.
