RIP Trevor Moore, such a comedic genius. This skit is a great example of what a great comedian Trevor was: the concept is EXTREMELY simple and, fundamentally, comical: "how crazy/scary would it be working at a landmine factory"? That is such a creative and killer foundation for a comedy sketch. Edit: Man, I'm always finding new little bits of comedy I missed in these sketches when I rewatch them, like "I'm going to go finish taking a leak" (as if one just starts, stops midway through, does something else, and then comes back XD)

I had a trial shift on a construction site where they were building a house. They gave me an angle grinder to sand down planks off wood with. Basically I felt exactly like WKUK new guy, because I was using the most dangerous piece of construction equipment to work with, with about a foot of space to work and eventually he came out to see why I was staringly bewildered at these bits of wood instead of working, and I was like "this 30,000 rpm machine can cut through this plank using just sand paper, and all I'm wearing is a nylon shirt, quite frankly I don't want to give myself a c-section doing the most basic part of this job". The man was such a prick and so dissmissive "I don't think this is working out" I'm like your damn right it isn't! I hope everyone else on that site is still in one piece.
Angel grinder seems much scarier than it is. Just keep control of it. Working in a small space is dumb tho. Construction really ain't worth the hassle imo anyways it's good to get out.
@He did a run to the local hardware store FOR ME, and instead of picking up a belt sander as I asked he grabbed an angle grinder, and then told me later that the belt sander was only for hobbyists, EVEN THOUGH the sander I was using at the start of the job was one of those "rotary" sanders which is basically a vibrating rectangle.

If u don’t understand yr job then of course. Hell driving let alone being a live is stressful. U could floor it into a wall or traffic and slip and break ya neck. Aneurisms don’t give no warning
No kidding. Everyone’s an expert on safety until you’re forced to pick up broken glass shards from the median of the New Jersey Turnpike with your butt cheeks. All because your wife’s boyfriend had a great NFT scam going, but now that it fell flat,he’s living in Bangladesh making soccer balls & that idiot of a wife you have couldn’t be any happier than to live with sweaty soccer ball guy with the amazing abs. In the meantime, you pick up huge shards of razor sharp glass while taking care of Mike & your wife’s seven kids because they left with no announcement. But hey, at least it pays $15/hour. Then people are suddenly SOOOO worried about your safety!

The mine disappears from the conveyor belt between shots, so you keep expecting one of them to step on it -- because where else could it have gone but the floor?
It's nice of the conveyor belt to let him work at his own pace.
