      Congratulations, you fix commercial buildings! Whatever that means.
      What is it you fix? Are you a plumber, an electrician, or a carpenter? Do you do concrete work? What?
      How about the rest of your living, can you change the tire on your car? Can you change the oil? What about gardening? Can you grow your own food, or do you have to rely on grocery stores?
      It's great that you know how to "fix commercial buildings." Can you cook a steak perfectly and make pancakes from scratch without a recipe? Do you know how to hem clothes?
      These are all basic knowledge that most young people don't have any clue about. They don't understand that hard work is worth more than a dollar. They would rather pay someone else to do the work for them.

      @AlfonsoMagona2279 Your take is horrible. Just because you can change a tire and the oil on your car doesn't mean you can fully maintain one or build one in the first place. Nor does one single person have enough time to be able to maintain everything in their lives, plus make everything they need. However, the more you know about basic maintenance, the less you have to rely on others and pay them to do it.

      Yeah, older millenials and younger millenials are totally different. we should cut that group in half, and stick us 80s millenials with the Gen Xers, and 90s millenials with Z. One of us played outside, the other didn't. One of us had phones with wires, the other ones didn't. One of us had to use the new-fangled internet to do a research project on "beavers" in the 3rd grade, the other group never had to, as the teachers still remember the time that blew up in their faces. 😆 "Uhhh, Ms. Smith, why are all these websites of naked women on cars?

A science project getting messy both at home and in class wasn't a big deal back then since we were expected to help with the cleanup afterward.

    For all the people that want to play white knight so they can improve their sense of self worth. Wilson and McGunnigle are both millennials and they were not offended by this sketch, odds are they had a hand in writing it.
    So if you feel offended that says more about you than if the sketch is funny or if it is "unfair". There are times where comedians take the piss out of things and satire is designed to do exactly that. The actors and writers took a moment from their own lives and showed the absurdity of it.
    There is nothing wrong here, the problem is that you can not take a joke. I prescribe another 22 minutes of therapy.

      Like yourself....... We noted that it's totally not true or relevant to us. It fails as satire. It's comedy for an older generation that is clearly out of touch with the fact that we are the workforce now. There are more millenials here on YT as well. So I gotta ask, who was this really for? Not us. You perhaps, but that's probably because of the very reason I described. YOU'RE OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY. ​@@hugsandcurses

      @@grahammorehouse8552 if you take offense to this, there is a better chance than you think that this is relevant to you. Again, as stated, this was acted by millennials and likely written by millennials. As for your conjecture as to who this is for CBC does cater to the millennial age range as well as those that are older. it succeeds as satire just fine and satire will offend individuals who can not take criticism. if you think that fails as satire you are sadly out of touch with reality. the workforce today is much more than any one generation, so why you think that has nay relevance on the situation I would be interested to hear. Stereotypes hold a hint of truth to them and this plays on a stereotype, not even the most common one regarding millennials
      The person out of touch might very well be you, in part because for some reason you think putting it in all caps MAKES YOUR POINT MORE VALID.
