McDonald's Firing
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
A manager gathers the crew at a struggling McDonald's and warns that sales are down and some people will have to go. Convinced they are the targets, Dana and Niff decide to go out on top and hand out blunt, bizarre farewell insults to each colleague in turn, from a coworker's cream-corn breath to the sad abandoned-doll vibe of fryer cook Carl. The rest of the staff, the new guy included, can barely get a word in while the manager keeps trying to calm things down. When the meeting finally reaches its decision, Dana and Niff turn out to be the top sellers, so the manager fires the mild-mannered Carl instead, who shrugs it off.
The funny people
Meet the cast. 14
Say it with us
Highly quotable.
Yeah, Carl, you remind me of a doll no one wants to buy, so they just stop making that doll eventually.
Don't worry about me, easy come, easy go.
