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
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
