  Our bodies are simply not made to leave earth for a long period. It’s a lofty goal but completely unrealistic when considering our biology has evolved specifically to live here.

  Has no one learned anything from War of the Worlds?

  Also, remember how humanity really messed things up when we started colonising other parts of our globe? We brought disease, we murdered and we polluted.

  For the drum machine, definitely! But we largely kept to our tempo or maybe double. It was a free gig and we were getting paid in beers. I think it was pretty funny for the audience too. Great night.

  I used to sing in a post punk band. We had a drum machine. In the middle of one gig, the drum machine spazzed out and deleted all the internal memory, and started a 600bpm bossa nova loop. We played right through to the end.

  None of the jokes landed for me because it didn’t resemble anything that I’ve ever experienced in an office, while the UK version was more aligned with my experience but exaggerated.

  Most corporate places won’t allow you to keep pets in the office. There’s no reason why an obviously incompetent worker would end up being a manager. There’s a few instances in the trailer where you can easily dob management to Fair Work.

  Here’s what I’d change:

  Manager is clearly incompetent but the reason why they’re there is because their underling does all the work for them exceptionally well but doesn’t get any credit. They have impostor syndrome and never think they’ll be manager material. Manager has an MBA that they flout all the time.

  IT is incompetent and has weird rules about what you can and can’t do on the office computers. For example, no one has the internet on their PC and can only access it through an internet computer (I’ve actually experienced this). There’s a worker in the office who’s a tech enthusiast and runs rings around the IT person, acting as a thorn in their side.

  HR is done unofficially by the admin team because it’s a small business. They’re clearly not qualified for the job and treat it more like an advice service.

  And so much more…

  If that’s the case, then people with the new brains should have their sex organs harvested.
