I was career USAF for 32 years. Spent 18 of those years as an F-15E pilot. Asked my crew chief one time why they always had an extra place at their card table/lunch table/whatever activity they had going on with nobody sitting there. He told me "That's Sergeant Murphy's place, sir. Because if he's here, then he's NOT fucking with your bird, sir!" I scratched my head, grinned and walked away. The ONE time this rule wasn't followed (Pearson was home on compassionate leave), I lost my left eye, and what was left of my bird ended up being used for parts. I never flew anything but a desk for the rest of my career. I never questioned TSgt Pearson's infinite wisdom again! From Colonel to Major General, it was an unwritten order that Sergeant Murphy ALWAYS had a place of honor....well away from anything important going on and always made sure that he had gifts at Christmas! Murphy is a motherf*cker, ladies and gents! If "Q" were ever invoked, I expect we'd be breaking out the 'shiny bombs'..... (look it up)
Even in places where there isn't (realistically) anything that can go wrong (I work construction), I make sure to leave space for Murphy and Q. Especially because Q likes to hang around and pull out any plug that looks interesting to plug in his phone. Especially the one powering the lights.
There actually was a man named Murphy, in the USAF. He was part of the rocket sled program. A test subject was to be rocketed down the track and then brought to an abrupt halt. Mounted on the test subject's harness were 16 accelerometers. The sensors would only measure acceleration in one direction and all 16 had been affixed to the harness backwards. The sensors registered zero acceleration. Analysis of the frame by frame footage calculated an acceleration of forty g's as the sled came to a halt. Afterwards, Murphy said that if there was a right way and a wrong way to do something, left to its own devices it would always be done the wrong way.. This was later reworded to "If anything can go wrong, it will.".
At my office, I handle this the theater way: whenever I come back from the weekend, I say, "So, did anything explode while I was away?" and it's usually all been quiet. (In theater, the pre-performance send off is "Break a leg!" so that the actor won't do it. And the common wisdom is, "The worse the dress rehearsal, the better the opening night.")
At my job a while back, whenever I came back from a few days leave or more, somebody always had handed in their resignation It stopped when I started coming in the mornings after my leave, with my first question being: "Ok, who quit this time?"
I'm now retired after 45 years of working in a large hospital's ICU as an aide and unit clerk, and on the midnight shift, to boot. To say we were all (and they all still are) very superstitious where the two forbidden things to say were concerned would be an understatement the size of Texas! The staff NEVER used the words "quiet," nor "What can possibly go wrong?" The one and only time I ever knew of when someone foolishly said, "What can possibly go wrong? We have only 3 hours left of this shift, and it's been quiet all night! You're all so silly for being superstitious," all Hades broke loose within 15 minutes of his opening his big mouth and he was hated on the rest of the night!
I worked in a hospital for 10 years. It’s been almost ten since I left….I still cringe at the “Q” word. I expect some ED nurse to appear and slap the shit outta somebody.
"Hey guys, wanna make a video with me?" "Depends on what we're doing." "One of you will spill coffee on yourself, another will spill oatmeal on your face while the other runs over a wooden beam, another will trip on a fire hose." "Doesn't seem that fun..." "And one of you will run around with a Flamethrower while screaming your lungs out." "Sign me up."
It was a real person. Named after Capt. Edward Murphy. An engineer. Let's not forget. "The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle."
People at The Company Formerly Known As Facebook: "At our workplace we ride electric scooters to work!" People at google: "We have a ballpit!" FDC: "We have flamethrowers."
I met Murphy on my first call out as a volunteer. Structure fire at 9pm and I was paired with a guy in his late 60s. Small town, only five firefighters so he just couldn't retire. As we're taking the hose around the back I said to him, "Oh. I forgot to put my visor down." I stopped to put it down and he was pissed off at me for slowing him down. I thought I was being such a rookie. He said, "You don't need your visor." Walks five more steps, steps on a rake and it flies up and brakes his nose. Being diplomatic I reacted with grace and professionalism. I fell to the ground laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. Second experience: moved town and there was an old people's home who had a toaster that lead to sooo many false alarms. However, we had to respond to every one to back up the career guys in case it was one. Sucks when you work a full time job and the toaster always was used at 4:30am. We were talking during training and one guy, who was one of those guys who would have been a career firefighter if ONLY the selection panel weren't biased, said. "If the next call out isn't interesting I'm going to quit." When we talked about not angering Murphy he said, "Stop it with that crap. There's no Murphy's law." We all crossed our fingers, hoping for a toaster. But.. he had invoked Murphy. Next morning it was a light plane crash. Nothing really to do as the career guys contained any fire. We got tasked with sweeping the area to check to see if anyone had been thrown clear and mark the location of any body parts. He quit. While he was a tool it was very traumatic so no shame but... Don't ever say Murphy doesn't exist.
Say you have 10 guys who respond to these annoying toaster calls at 0430. Each kicks in $10 bucks for a better toaster for them. You will sleep great for a few nights until they start a fire in the microwave.
@@Nick.Steven You know.. I can't believe none of us ever came up with that. Even if it was just dementia patients burning toast it would have been worth a shot for that chance that it was a poorly made toaster.
@@MrZoomah i had a toaster that would shoot up blue sparks when it popped up the toast, took that sucker back to the shop to get a better quality one. Sometimes them cheaping out on it costs in the long run, especially if they had to pay for false call out fees. I think the saying is “counting pennies but costing pounds”
"Q" is just about the only superstition I have and enforce. My coworker said it once then the building I work for caught fire. Mind you that happens about 80 times a year but it's still inconvenient
I've been binging the FDC ever since I found Jason's shorts, and there's been so many LOL moments that my guts hurt. The introduction of Q, at the 40 second mark, this was the moment I cried from laughter. Thanks for the work you guys do and the humour you share, it is without a doubt - better inspiration than Backdraft.
FIRM believer in the power of the Q-word! Last ride along during my EMT training we caught a suicide call and one of the PD guys invoked it (ALSO said it was his Saturday!! 🤦♀️)...got back to our post and immediately got another call...ended up being a STEMI...ran non-stop calls after that! Recently, my boss decided to play a prank on us by saying the Q-word as a coworker was getting ready to leave and then dialing our number on cell (rural EMS, still dispatched by phone)...we then proceeded to have an abdominal pain call that turned into a seizure and cardiac pause, followed by back to back transfers...we were literally up all night! The prank was hilarious, but SO not worth it!
It works in IT too, believe it or not. I myself uttered "Could this day get any worse" at a particularly frustrating computer, and all of a sudden we had an entire lab (college) worth of computers just quit working. All 36 of them. That was months ago but I still haven't lived it down.
@@bostonrailfan2427 IT is 5% fixing stuff, 10% finding the problem, 25% turning it on and back off again and 75% googling the problem and hoping someone smarter than you already told someone dumber than you how to fix it on reddit

I had a nurse hurl a stapler at me for saying the “Q” word in the ER when I started my EMS carrier. Needless to say, she still hates me, after 12 years.
Love that him running with a flamethrower was a real thing done in front of a real fire house. I wish I lived in your town I’d 100% post up to watch like a real life tv drama series (that’s ACCURATE!!)
Every dept has that one guy/gal that seems to bring mr Murphy with them every shift. Also, I worked with a captain who banned the movie oceans 11 because everytime they tried to watch it their part of town would suddenly fall into a black hole of crap.
@@harrisonjohnson9792 If you've had a particularly light shift, you should get Olive Garden for the next shift just. It'd be a nice treat and they'd definitely appreciate it.
Nah, the really worrying question when they're brainstorming episodes is "WAIT, why do YOU have [a flamethrower]?" when it turns out one of the crew has [a flamethrower] just laying around
My partner on the ambulance when he was still new once dropped the Q word trying to be funny in line at triage to audible gasps from the staff. The charge nurse looked at him with such disgust I thought she was physically about to throw him out the ER doors. You can bet he never did that again!
I was just thinking how much I miss the "Chaos" insurance commercials- (edit, Mayhem!) the only commercials I ever loved, besides Budweiser. A series of Murphy S Law videos would rock!!
So, I decided to find out what happened and I googled "allstate mayhem guy." Good lord, this man has had mayhem happen to *him*. In 2009, he contracted a bacterial infection that turned to gangrene; they were forced to amputate several toes and part of a thumb, and he's undergone many skin grafts. He lives with constant pain, especially any time he takes a step. And that happened BEFORE he filmed the Mayhem commercials. My hat is definitely off to this man. He has an astonishing ability to work through pain.
There were those Geico commercials with the guy saying “could switching to Geico really save you 15% or more on car insurance?” followed by some question with an obvious “yes” answer in a funny situation, like “was Abe Lincoln honest?” and Mary Todd asks him if her dress makes her backside look big.
As a Respiratory Therapist, I used to love walking up to nurses and saying, “BOY, it sure is quiet today!” Of course, they’d freak out, but I’d reassure them, “If I had THAT kind of power, I sure wouldn’t be working here!”
No kidding! But the facial expressions....the 'bump' victim makes me think maybe he didn't get the memo.....was very glad to see that the young lady was using COLD coffee, or at least not scalding stuff! :)
This should win a CLIO Award for advertising Fire Department Coffee. You are giving Ryan Reynolds a run for his money. Your work and sharing the life of a Firefighter gets better every time.
I love the fact that Murphy only says "Q" first, then after several people reveal his name, Murphy goes and summons Quiet gleefully (look at his face). it was pure comic genius having Murphy only mention Quiet twice!
This was THE best video you guys have ever made! The production quality on this was absolutely nuts! Also you guys did really well on the acting! 0:57 I'm sure she was smelling nothing but coffee for the rest of the day.

Love this, love getting more of the crew in, cant wait to see what comes next
How are these so well-crafted?!? I love these sketches so much!
“What can go wrong will go wrong” hit home lol. Had this thought on a respiratory call. Well a simple shortness of breath turned into a RSI.
Ok, this is probably your best one. You and Firefighter Fenton need to team up more often.
0:54 “there’s no way this day could get any worse” 🤣 it’ll prove you wrong every time
I was just thinking how much I miss the "Chaos" insurance commercials- (edit, Mayhem!) the only commercials I ever loved, besides Budweiser. A series of Murphy S Law videos would rock!!
You mean Mayhem. I immediately thought of those commercials when I saw this 😂!
So, I decided to find out what happened and I googled "allstate mayhem guy." Good lord, this man has had mayhem happen to *him*. In 2009, he contracted a bacterial infection that turned to gangrene; they were forced to amputate several toes and part of a thumb, and he's undergone many skin grafts. He lives with constant pain, especially any time he takes a step.
And that happened BEFORE he filmed the Mayhem commercials. My hat is definitely off to this man. He has an astonishing ability to work through pain.
@@SoulSistah1LM whoops, yes!! 😆
There were those Geico commercials with the guy saying “could switching to Geico really save you 15% or more on car insurance?” followed by some question with an obvious “yes” answer in a funny situation, like “was Abe Lincoln honest?” and Mary Todd asks him if her dress makes her backside look big.
@@evilsharkey8954 🤣 😂 Yup... or Lumi, the "personal deodorant cream", they had some hysterical ones, now that I think about it!
loving the vibes of "random guy running around screaming and wielding a lit flamethrower with the eyes of someone who knows no mercy"
As a Respiratory Therapist, I used to love walking up to nurses and saying, “BOY, it sure is quiet today!” Of course, they’d freak out, but I’d reassure them, “If I had THAT kind of power, I sure wouldn’t be working here!”
Glad to finally meet the guy who is screwing with my life (yes, he takes care of the military too)
Lol right! There's just something about being able to put a face to the name!
Word
@@bostonrailfan2427 Uhhhh Houston? We have a problem.
@@1truthbegettingtold275
He’s already a space veteran.
@@bostonrailfan2427 DUDE! You just summoned him.
Best case scenario coffee spilled on paperwork
LOVED THIS ONE!! Can't wait to see more of your crew! Props to the people who spilt food all over themselves for the sake of this video
No kidding! But the facial expressions....the 'bump' victim makes me think maybe he didn't get the memo.....was very glad to see that the young lady was using COLD coffee, or at least not scalding stuff! :)
I love that this popped on my feed the day after I told a coworker "Don't say the Q word". And he did. It turns out it also works for retail! XD
The comedy and quality of this video is INSANE! Can't wait to see what the future holds. Keep it up FDC!
Props to the lady at 0:58 for committing to the bit
I really hope there was only one take because that would stink to have to do that more than once. Bravo!
This should win a CLIO Award for advertising Fire Department Coffee. You are giving Ryan Reynolds a run for his money. Your work and sharing the life of a Firefighter gets better every time.
I love the fact that Murphy only says "Q" first, then after several people reveal his name, Murphy goes and summons Quiet gleefully (look at his face).
it was pure comic genius having Murphy only mention Quiet twice!
I love the ending where Q runs by screaming while flamethrowing the air like a maniac
This feels like an actual TV production level skit. Love it!
How was that guy both Heavy and Pyro at the same time? I love it.
Man's playing a whole different game
man i love Q we need more of him
Friggin Fenton with the flamethrower XD kills me every time
This was THE best video you guys have ever made! The production quality on this was absolutely nuts! Also you guys did really well on the acting! 0:57 I'm sure she was smelling nothing but coffee for the rest of the day.
I don't know what this was, but I absolutely loved every second of it!
Love the production on this! I've only run into your shorts so far, which are also awesome. Thanks for the laughs!
THIS IS YOUR BEST VIDEO EVER!!! Couldn't even get all the laughter out.
This is why I always leave room at any event, project, plan, or thought for one more. ALWAYS leave room for Murphy or Murphy will make room.
Yay! We got the whole station involved, that's so cool!
Dude I had to watch this twice because I was laughing so hard the first time lmao this is absolutely GOLD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Omigod, i’m really happy to notice the progress and effort you out in your vids.
This is one of the best ones so far
this man out-does himself every time, great stuff
Murphy was actually a real person. “Murphy” was the nickname of a weapons tester for the US government who had a lot of “set backs”.
Edward Aloysius Murphy Jr. Edward Aloysius Murphy Jr. (January 11, 1918 - July 17, 1990) was an American aerospace engineer who worked on safety-critical systems. He is best known for his namesake Murphy's law, which is said to state, "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong".
So private SNAFU was fiction but Murphy was a real guy?!
Quiet sounds like a fun guy to follow around - from a safe distance.
My favorite one so far!!! Literally sitting on the can right now praying I can finish before the next one 🙏 🤣🤣🤣
I love your sense of humor. These videos make me laugh my butt off!
If Murphy was a real person, there'd be a hidden grave at every station 😂
Who says there isn't???
@@itsjustme8947 I plead the 5th
Put down the shovel. Yes, both of you. Now.
@@ltmundy1164 Not until my lawyer gets here.
Keep these coming. Please! The pure comedy is great! The ones mixed with life instruction are also good. I appreciate your comedy relief.
This is the first video I saw from you and it got me hooked! I love your sense of humour! really gets me through the day!!! thanks!
That explosion certainly was very impressive...
Overall the entire episode was pretty funny, and high-quality content as usual. I'm glad you are enjoying what you do Jason, and I hope you continue to provide outstanding content, be safe, and have a lot of fun and enjoyment in what you do.
wherever things keep going wrong, I'm going to picture Murphy S Law nearby chuckling 😂
Watched your interview with gettin salty. Wow. Awesome. Best one yet. Keep up all the great things your doing.
Production and humor were top notch, keep it up
The comedic timing is absolutely on point here
Wow, the quality of this episode is so high. Congratulations
Oh man this video makes me laugh! I watch it every Sunday with the family because it’s just so dang funny, and accurate! Love it! Keep up the great work!
I love Fenton being “quiet” perfect casting
“All I know is that people want a little peace and quiet.”
1:11 “someone say my name?!” *proceeds to run past with a flamethrower!*
I love how everybody was working together to get this video done. Great video
This is like the Allstate Mayhem Guy, but even better! Well done with this and your other skits and thanks for all you guys do as first responders!
You two getting together has upped the game baby. Y’all are bad asses.!
The production value on this one is awesome!
I would say you have the next awsome series !!! Great personalitys with endless possibilities of suffering .... I would love to see these personality grow in your upcoming videos!! Great work!
Your best yet! You have me in stitches! You are a very funny man and I thank you for your service to the community, even if it isn't mine. Always look forward to your content.
“This day couldnt get any slower😤”
Murphy- “😃”
I appreciate that this was filmed at IFSI 🙌🏻 I was so bummed I had to be off-site while you guys were there and couldn’t meet you!
Dude continues to create better and better clips each release. Thanks for the entertainment man!
I've watched you from the beginning and I think this is your best yet!
In the last scene I could see that shit eating grin even behind the mug. Absolute perfection!
every single video from this channel is gold xD
Please never stop making this great content
Haha Fenton with the flamethrower lol always love watching these videos. Great mood booster
THIS
THIS is something that can become a huge thing! XD
love the script, participants, set and equipment usage^^ (also, well done director with camera angles and shots)
Omg I think Quiet is my favorite character of all time.
Shhhhh don't say that word out loud! ;-)
Great video. Absolutely hilarious.
this is some of the funniest thing I have ever seen
This guy needs his own show.
Not a first responder, but there is a reason the Q-word is verböten in the office - particularly when ballots have just been mailed to voters. 😬
Absolutely love the video, by the way! Please extend my compliments to everyone who helped with it, too!
You guys are comedic geniuses
Videos that combine FDC with Fenton are the best. The two of you are absolute lunatics.
Thank you so much this just made my day a million times better
