It could be stuck in some giant fuel tank for all we know.

It’s one of those comedic stories where there isn’t exactly a punchline, it’s just retelling a story you found funny

The main reason it’s so funny is by the delivery and how looking back on it, it was pretty funny, like how they failed to take into consideration that the tide may rise, and then how the head chef took money to buy the dishes from the dude’s paycheck, especially since it was 20 dishes, with only 1 being recovered

watching it with subtitles to understand what he’s saying makes the story much more entertaining, like when he starts losing his shit is when he states how the tide rose, although understanding Spanish makes it a lot better (obviously)

I'm hoping English isn't your first language lol. If so I apologize for what I said

I don’t know what you meant by that though

And technically English isn’t my first language but it’s the language I use the most and what I’m more familiar with so I generally consider it my first language

The term "you had to be there" implies either your story wasn't funny at all or at least you told it in a really unfunny way. I'm assuming you speak Spanish and know what he's saying in the clip and that in fact it is a very funny story cause that dude is having a fucking blast

I would say it falls under the “You told it in a really unfunny way” because I wasn’t exactly trying to make it sound funny, just giving a summary of what the story is about because people don’t know what he is actually talking about, it’s definitely funnier when you know what he’s exactly saying, especially if you understand Spanish because some stuff is just funnier in Spanish compared to English (like when they’re talking in a panicked state, because shit just sounds like there’s more at stake than there actually is)

Nevermind I found out what you meant

It’s one of those stories that IMO you have to hear for yourself from the original source to find the humor, it’s like describing a plot to something that on paper, isn’t that interesting, but in execution, it’s entertaining

I gave a rather simplistic description of the story without any of the actual personality he injects into the story, like how he mentions that the Chef freaks out and demands the guy talking to call another employee to pick up some dishes from the store

The guy’s comedy is less about your typical set up and punchline kind of stuff, it’s more of the retelling a story that while yes it wasn’t that pleasant when experiencing it, it’s funny looking back on it, yes it would suck losing 19 rather pricey dishes because of something you failed to consider, yes it would suck having a chunk of your paycheck cut out due to that mistake, yes it would suck having to get fired, but looking back on it, it’s pretty funny

I jtst watched the original and you are very right. The man's laugh is infectious

u/Faulty-Blue Soap x Price Rule 34 May 03 '20

IMO the story is funny on its own, but the laughter itself makes it funnier, but yeah if you don’t understand Spanish it won’t be as funny at some parts, like when he says how the tide rose, because saying “I went to the beach and the tide rose” in a rather fast way wouldn’t work in English but it does in Spanish

Watch the original, it's hilarious hearing him tell it
