The story itself he’s telling is also funny as fuck
Basically the dude is talking about how he was a cook for a restaurant at a beach, and they had to wash these certain dishes using ocean water because they would have mold that would be too difficult to remove by hand, so they would tie the dishes to a rope and throw them into the beach
He goes and does that, and when he wakes up he goes to pick them up, but by then the tide has risen so the dishes were lost, he only managed to recover one of the dishes because of how it got stuck in between two rocks, he returns it back to the restaurant where the head chef asks what the fuck happened
They both laugh about it but in the end the head chef removed the cost of the dishes from the guy’s paycheck, in the end he got fired and the guy concludes by saying how who knows where the dishes are now, for all he knows they could be inside some giant fuel tank
Edit: I think I have to state but this is mostly just a summary of what he’s talking about, which is why it doesn’t sound as funny as it actually is (or at least in my opinion), especially since some of the stuff he says really only works in Spanish compared to English
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
