The premise

Here’s the bit.

Shana joins a ski retreat party at a mountain lodge hosted by the boss, Mr. Jergs, where three admiring coworkers have been talking her up all afternoon. Every move she makes to turn the room on, from shedding her jacket to poking the fireplace to working a pole in the corner, lands as sexier in her mind than on the floor, until each routine curdles into something messier. Her chatty stories keep escalating the awkwardness, while Mr. Jergs stays charmed and Gretchen, the cook who made the strawberries, watches the whole show go sideways. It ends on one last unwelcome confession from Shana and a delighted reaction from the boss.

The funny people

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Is it warm in here? Or is it just because I'm wearing my jacket inside.

It's so funny how you don't want fire in your house, but when it's in a fireplace, it's okay.

I pooped my ski pants.

    Speaker 1

    Man, this is the best retreat yet. I can't believe Mr. Jergs took us all skiing.

  2. 00:05

    Speaker 1

    Yeah, and to have this private party for us in the lodge? Man, he went all out. Hey, uh, Gretchen, where's that new sexy girl, Shana?

  3. 00:12

    Gretchen

    Ugh, is that all you guys ever talk about, Shana?

  4. 00:15

    Speaker 1

    I saw her from behind on the bunny slope today. I tell you, that was a sight to see. I hope she's coming to this thing.

  5. 00:20

    Speaker 1

    Me, too, if you know what I mean.

  6. 00:22

    Speaker 1

    I do know what you mean.

  7. 00:24

    Speaker 1

    I know what you mean, as well.

  8. 00:27

    Gretchen

    God, she'll be here.

  9. 00:31

    Mr. Jergs

    Hey, guys. How's everybody doing?

  10. 00:33

    Gretchen

    Oh, look, Mr. Jergs. I made your favorite. Chocolate-covered strawberries from scratch.

  11. 00:38

    Mr. Jergs

    Oh, aw, thanks. Where's Shana?

  12. 00:40

    Gretchen

    She's coming.

  13. 00:46

    Mr. Jergs

    Terrific. Wonderful.

  14. 00:47

    Shana

    Get I'm sorry I'm late for this little get together.

  15. 00:54

    Mr. Jergs

    Shana, I am so happy to see you.

  16. 00:57

    Shana

    Oh, wait, Mr. Jergs. That looks like a very cozy and cushy and squishy sweater.

  17. 01:04

    Mr. Jergs

    It is cozy. I mean, cushy. You know, soft, whatever. Thick, soft. You just got me flustered. Ooh. That is some hot piece of fruit.

  18. 01:13

    Speaker 1

    She is fantastic. Downright double sexy, y'all.

  19. 01:17

    Shana

    I'm Is it warm in here? Or is it just because I'm wearing my jacket inside?

  20. 01:22

    Gretchen

    It's because you're wearing your jacket inside.

  21. 01:25

    Shana

    Ooh, then I guess I better take it off.

  22. 01:39

    Mr. Jergs

    Hubba hubba. I want her to do that again.

  23. 01:42

    Speaker 1

    I wish she had a second jacket under that jacket that she could take off for us.

  24. 01:46

    Speaker 1

    Me, too, as well.

  25. 01:48

    Gretchen

    Don't one of you go fix the fire? It looks like it's about to go out.

  26. 01:52

    Shana

    Oh, wait. I'm jealous. I want to do it. It's so funny how you don't want fire in your house, but when it's in a fireplace, it's okay.

  27. 02:05

    Mr. Jergs

    That is true. Well, go fix it if you want to.

  28. 02:08

    Shana

    Can I? Sorry, guess I got a little excited there. Okay. Okay. Here I go. Oh, this is gonna be good.

  29. 02:38

    Speaker 1

    Wasn't That wasn't what I thought it was going to be.

  30. 02:47

    Speaker 1

    No, it was not.

  31. 02:49

    Mr. Jergs

    That was not sexy. You guys want no sex if you sit on your face and say, Where's my butt?

  32. 02:57

    Shana

    Ooh, hot chocolate. Oh, but there's too much whipped cream to take a sip.

  33. 03:01

    Speaker 1

    You can lick it off. You can lick it off. Just lick it off. Just lick it off.

  34. 03:05

    Shana

    I'd better suck a little off the top.

  35. 03:07

    Mr. Jergs

    Oh, that's it.

  36. 03:14

    Shana

    I did it!

  37. 03:30

    Mr. Jergs

    Yes, you did. Did she now?

  38. 03:34

    Gretchen

    Uh, my strawberries are being passed around if anyone wants them. Would you like a strawberry, Mr. Jergs?

  39. 03:42

    Mr. Jergs

    Yes, I do. For Shana.

  40. 03:44

    Shana

    Ooh. Oh, I can't. And I won't tell you why. But if I did, it's a really big fun happening story.

  41. 03:51

    Mr. Jergs

    Oh, we love happening stories. We sure do. Love happening stories.

  42. 03:54

    Speaker 1

    Yeah, tell it.

  43. 03:55

    Shana

    Okay, well, listen to this. My doctor said I can't eat strawberries because of all the little seeds. See, they get stuck in my intestinal wall because I got pockets in there. And then they fill up and form clumps that go rotten and get real hard and stinky.

  44. 04:14

    Mr. Jergs

    I think I'm gonna be sick. Hey, man, she's a human being. I love her open sexiness.

  45. 04:26

    Shana

    A place to dance in a stereo. I think I'm gonna turn it on and rock my body.

  46. 04:33

    Mr. Jergs

    What a great idea. I love watching people solo dance. All right, now this is more like it.

  47. 04:46

    Shana

    Oh, I wish this pole didn't have girls on it. I could show you what I learned in my stupid sweatpants.

  48. 04:52

    Mr. Jergs

    Let me help you with that. That was superior.

  49. 05:22

    Speaker 1

    Okay, I'm gonna go sit outside in the snow.

  50. 05:24

    Speaker 1

    Yeah, I'm gonna go with you.

  51. 05:25

    Speaker 1

    Yeah, me too, as well. Thanks a lot, Gretchen.

  52. 05:30

    Mr. Jergs

    Hey, take this with you. Shout out. Shana, I think I'm gonna rent a snowmobile. Would you like to travel around the lodge just in circles with me?

  53. 05:41

    Shana

    Ooh, I don't know what to say. And when I do know what to say, I giggle. Excuse me. That's not my laugh.

  54. 05:49

    Mr. Jergs

    You are a polished diamond.

  55. 05:57

    Shana

    Oh, so are you. I Oops, this is funny. I just realized a bunch of tiny little turds squeezed out when I did that last lift. I pooped my ski pants. I turned it all inside my ski pants.

  56. 06:17

    Mr. Jergs

    That is a woman that could hold my interest for a long time.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
