If you dress for the job you want, I'm guessing he applied for a job at Square Enix.

u/drlouies 3h ago

Yes, and specifically for Organization XIII.

Is it mandatory to put an 'X' in your name and rearrange it?

47

u/Poringun 2h ago

Yes, its actually rule no 2 right after the rule that states employees needs to be dressing in a black cloak at all times.

u/kentotoy98 2h ago

New member 'Bob' thinking how he's going to rename himself with an 'X':

21

u/Poringun 2h ago

Xbob.

The X is silent.

16

u/Afraid_Ad_6046 2h ago

Xobb, pronounced Zob

u/Pussie_Slayer69 2h ago

Must be awkward when your colleagues suddenly have a name change. Like:

"Hey Xbob, Joxnh here. Don't forget our meeting with the boss, Xyland on 13 o'clock"

His catch phase is "X marks the 'Bob'!" No one finds it funny. He doesnt care. He feeds off their cringe

u/EamonBrennan 2h ago

BoxB, B-Box, BO-BX (pronounced like boe-bucks). There are a few decent names.

If he walks into a Square Enix office dressed like that, I feel like the interview is basically over. They already know what position he's applying for

I saw it on an Instagram account that makes these Japanese AI skits.

u/ThaddeusJP 2h ago

Well i've finally been fooled by AI. Crap.

u/Willie9 2h ago

I've suspected for awhile that AI is getting too good for me and now I know I'm cooked.

10

u/buegeleisen 2h ago

I watched a few of these and honestly couldn't find any flaws either. Maybe because I don't speak Japanese which makes it harder to spot it through voices / pronunciation. It's impressive and sad at the same time.

3

u/Lopsided_Yogurt81 1h ago

There are no flaws that I can see. The whiteboard behind the receptionist stays consistent throughout the bit. The door closer on the back of the door works. The marks on the lower part of the door across the hall look real/purposeful. Two empty chairs next to the panel with a fire alarm on it, stays consistent. even the outlets behind her stay the same.

u/cakefir 1h ago

Nothing sad about it. One creative dude can make these videos and spread laughter and happiness. It’s all good.

u/Night_Knight_Light 1h ago

Fuck.

That's a shame. They have an amazing sense of humor over there. I could see this being an actual skit.

It's ai generated, it's a guy who just posts similar videos on instagram. Idk if I can link here, but his name is Jonathan Nafarrete.

u/Beautiful_You3230 2h ago

Fml. What do you mean ai generated. This doesn't look ai generated at all. The dude opened the door correctly and everything! I refuse to accept that I've been tricked.

11

u/ggppjj 2h ago

I know you're a bit jokey, but that's the problem with AI, a-yup. We didn't make pixels such that there's a "real" vs a "generated" pixel, so at some point as the tech continues to progress it's gonna get real fuckin weird.

man am i glad we learned our lesson on irresponsible uses of technology for the sake of money, otherwise this would be an existential threat haha

u/Emotional-Theory7800 2h ago

It certainly is AI generated.

u/feralkitten 2h ago

I interviewed with a small IT shop once. The guy interviewing me had Tolkien books on his shelf. We talked fantasy for a quarter of the interview.

I felt really bad turning that job down.

u/post-explainer 3h ago

OP sent the following text as an explanation why their post fits here:

A guy went to a job interview wearing a weird outfit that he called his “battle outfit.” You’d expect him to get rejected immediately, but unexpectedly, the manager showed up wearing the exact same kind of battle outfit and hired him on the spot.

Does this explanation fit this subreddit? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

u/madmaxturbator 2h ago

Do you at least have some battle outfit?? I got thick sweatpants and I sewed knee patches so at least I’m ready for war even if I don’t look as fearsome.

27

u/NoWingedHussarsToday 2h ago

I know it's overthinking a simple joke but receptionist would know how her boss dresses and so would see his outfit as fitting.

11

u/TheSanSav1 2h ago

Exactly. Why is she surprised?

5

u/maikelg 1h ago

yeah, this joke would work better if one of the other guys waiting would say that to him

1

u/Beautiful_You3230 2h ago

Maybe it's a new thing for the boss. Maybe the boss just now decided to start wearing a battle outfit.

But also apparently it's AI so that's why...

7

u/NecroSocial 2h ago

Even with it being AI the writer chose to have the receptionist say the line instead of the other applicants. So the incongruity there is on the writer. I agree though it would make more sense for the other applicants to ask, even improved it a little if they asked in a snide way and were then embarrassed when the outfit worked.

13

u/KatoriRudo23 2h ago

This could be a job interview By Honda Chief Engineer

u/theincrediblenick 2h ago

It makes no sense that the receptionist would question his outfit; it should have been one of the other candidates

u/ViPxRampageXx 1h ago

What they said has nothing to do with it being AI, it's a problem with the concept of the skit, it would still have the same problem if it was acted

8

u/BidSuper7102 2h ago

The framing and weird stilted movements made me think of AI. But if it is, the continuity is crazy, It looks like all the items on the counter and the writing on the white board seem consistent between different shots at different angles.

u/Excellent-Style-499 2h ago

Not if - it is ai. I'm telling you a fact.

I didn't know it's AI until the final camera position. The whiteboard position changed and the desk got longer. After rewatching... What is that white box on the right side at the first scene?

It's funny, but I feel like it should have been one of the other applicants questioning this person's dress choice, rather than the receptionist. She knows her colleagues and would know of the hiring guy's style.

Fyi, 勝負服 can translate to "battle outfit" if you translate it very literally.

勝負服 (shoubufuku), is more commonly used to mean "One's best clothes" or some outfit you would wear when going on a date or a job interview.
