"If thats what they want to pay me to do then ill look for a left handed hammer all day with a straight face" I'm crying from laughing so hard because I've been that guy to send the new guys on dummy missions
I got sent out for a left-handed screw driver one time, and spent the whole day just walking around pretending that I was actually looking for it. They got the laugh they wanted and I got the nice relaxing afternoon like I wanted.
Ones I heard are: a bucket of steam, headlight fluid and a skyhook... Funny thing about the last one! Some guy actually managed to find a company that sold something called a "skyhook" it was a machine worth multiple grand! So, of course the guy put it on the company account, and the boss didn't even blame the apprentice, just the nucklebags who asked him to
Im at the point in my career where I'm training apprentices. And this is the kind of apprentice I want. Had to have a serious talk with the last kid they sent my way about his attitude. It was way to fucking positive.
why cant America be more like Austria? Its like you guys have real life. Here in America is like you cant even talk to people unless its about how shoving things up their ass made them feel.
Guy I work with told me a story from when he was an apprentice. He was sent down to stores to get some more "sky hooks". Little did he know that the stores manager was in on it too. Told him he would be a minute and closed the shutters. He was stood there waiting for about an hour before he spotted his co-workers laughing hysterically from the other end of the factory.
Another good gag I heard was from a mechanic shop. This guy would dump all the bolts into a single bucket instead of keeping them organized as he took the assembly apart. So his buddies one day put some extra random bolts in there to make it look like he missed a step putting it back together. Apparently the guy freaked out and almost took everything apart again before they let him in on it.
As a 13 year Boy Scout, me and a few of the other newbies (Tenderfoots, I believe) were sent on a multi-campsite journey for a ‘left-handed sky hook’. Took 3 camps and someone asking for our ID 10-T (idiot) form to learn we’d been had!
In college my welding teacher would always ask the new guys to go get a bag of sparks or a glass hammer from the class next door and it would always work.
This is somehow both culture shock, and entirely accurate. Tho, in the US of you tried to stay in the Porta John that long, maybe the third or fourth time, someone would definitely back their truck up to the door.
Oh yeah. whoever's in charge of the whole operation is gonna back his Hellcat up to the back of the shitter, put the exhaust in the loudest mode, and hit the rev limiter four times.
Both of my grandfathers were bricklayers and when I was a kid they started me out mixing mortar, striking joints, setting up scaffolding etc. One day while we were eating lunch one of them asked me what I wanted to do with my life. I told him I was undecided as to whether I wanted to be a bricklayer or a carpenter. The other one piped in and said "Be the mason. You'll learn everything you need to know about carpentry during your lunch hour".
At most a bricklayer would learn some basic first fix carpentry, you don’t see any of the 2nd fix so you would need to study a lot of lunchtimes to even understand that, then there’s joinery, cabinetry and furniture making, did you become a mason afterall ?

Best story I’ve heard is a guy I work with, as an apprentice he got sent to get a long weight. His boss told him go next door ask for a long weight. He went and asked next door’s boss who told him, “yeah mate I’ll grab it in a minute just give me a sec” 5 minutes went by the boss walked back past. Apprentice said “mate I still need that long weight?”, the boss replied “ yeah mate I’ll just be one sec and I’ll get it” Another 5 minutes went by and the boss came past. The apprentice called out to him again “sorry mate I’m still waiting for you to get me a long weight?” The boss said “ well do you think you’ve waited long enough yet? “ Apprentice went back empty handed to his boss and everyone in there was in stitches saying “so you finally worked it out?” 😂😂😂
yeah they pulled that one on me at 16..but I wasn't as green as I was cabbage looking. i was A.W.O.L for 6 hours and went back with about 40 minutes of the shift left. told the idiot who sent me that i was told they could only sell a long weight to a guy with a short cock.. and his wife said his was the shortest she'd seen
One of my manual arts teachers had a similar trick, the teachers had an agreement that if a student in one class was being a trouble maker, he'd be told to go to a certain class and get a long weight in order to give the others a break. Of course, he'd be sitting there for ages wondering what was happening. He also told us a story about one kid that was being a pain, so they sent him for a long weight, and his father was called, his dad came and told him he'd been duped, apparently he dropped out and got a trade!
One of the better ones yet. As a tradie and fellow Townsvillian I approve of this wholeheartedly but I reckon the temp in them port-a-loos gets a bit higher than 40. Good one fella, can't wait for the next one.
"...but they know the price I'm paying to do it. I'm willingly sitting in a plastic box full of shit in 40° heat, just cooking myself to get out of sleeping." The delivery of this line. 🤣 Had me in the first half, not gonna lie. 😂😭😂
Being an over grown freak of a person actually worked out in my favor in this situation. Got veteran respect quick cuz they realized that I could do a lot of stuff without the need of a ladder, or haul more bull shit
All of this! I've been on site 26 years and everything in this skit is true. The Brickie's video you did that brought me here is so bang it's actually scary!
the chicken scam was pure genius. i worked in the construction business 30 years. gotta love a clean port-o-let. the guy that serviced them was my hero.
I was watching something else but as soon as I saw your notification I dropped everything to watch your video. Loved it!!! Please make more. I introduced your videos to my family members and they're hooked.
It was actually funny watching this get filmed. 2 houses down from my in laws house and my house is actually being built on the block next to the house used for filming. 😂 what a laugh to watch it in person
I have worked in the construction field... they would send the new hires to go look for the "wood stretcher" and everyone would be in on the joke and send them all around in circles... one place to the next...
My father is a carpenter and I worked as a apprentice for about 2 1/2 years and when I would spend too long in the bathroom him and his friends would throw blocks of wood and bricks and shit at the outhouse, now I don’t know If anyone reading this has been a outhouse when it hits by a 5-10pound projectile thrown by a man who regularly benches 250, but it’s a terrifying experience
As a person who's worked in refineries, I can honestly say, when you come out from that death box of taco farts and heat, it feels like you are diving into a cool refreshing pool.
When I was an apprentice diesel mechanic, I learned more in 1 year than most do in the full 5. My mentor treated me like a son and threw me right in. When my classmates were still handing tools to their mechanics, I was making custom suspension spring packs for dump trucks, learned to weld properly, could diagnose and fix anything electrical. Everyone at the shop thought I was a natural, or really smart; I'm not, he was just that good of a teacher. I grew up without a dad, he treated me like a son; I ended up marrying his daughter. Life is crazy
That was me dropped out of year ten right into kitchen full time loaded on energy drinks and only breaks being for a smoko boss was always off his head free beer and food was pretty cool tho
We had a young fella wait 3 hours in the crash shop ,we sent him to ge a long weight.but we ran him every 10 minutes going off.blokes in the crash shop couldnt even look him in theface with losing it.
Been a Diesel mechanic for 21 years. I hated being an Apprentice. Graveyard shift. Working holidays. Now I am a Senior mechanic who walks around with my coffee in hand and a goofy smile…
I'm actually excited to get into an apprenticeship. I'm currently searching for an employer and that's pretty hard but this is a path I really want to do and will keep on searching.
They would tell me at the machine shop where we sold auto parts, "Go in the back and find me a radiator cap for a VW Bug." Spent a lot of time looking for that rarity. Face still straight over that one.
Hey apprentice, get us a long weight a left handed driver drill and some striped paint, and don't forget the sky-hooks to keep the roof up while we bolt it in place
Inb4 the apprentice books up the sky hooks from the local crane bloke on a 4 hour minimum charge inc. transport cost No cunts getting Friday beers for 6 months hahaha
Worked as an apprentice shipfitter for 2 years, union job. 9 out of 10 people you work with are nice enough to show you how things work, both for doing the job and avoiding doing the job, and what a good balance is for each. You always work for 1 of 3 people: the first one doesn’t give a shit what you do as long as something gets done today and you don’t fuck around so much that someone notices, the second one wants everything done exactly by the book to the point where you do more waiting, talking, and paperwork than actual work, and the third is an asshole who doesn’t care whether you’re supposed to be doing this because he’s 3 days behind schedule and it better be done in 2 hours, try not to fall to your death if you can. To this day I’m amazed at the amount of work that gets done and the amount of people that don’t get hurt but hey, 8 hours good pay + benefits for 1-2 hours of work under most supervisors is a pretty good deal. Got me plenty of extra cash for going back to school

I started an apprenticeship at the age of 29 and never knew I needed to use the toilet so often. Quite useful for when they tell you to clean 24/7
I'm a carpenter in the U.S.. not everything translates, but I found this to be pure gold. No better humor to be found, then around tradies
It's humour not humor*
You yanks should learn proper English
One of the better ones yet. As a tradie and fellow Townsvillian I approve of this wholeheartedly but I reckon the temp in them port-a-loos gets a bit higher than 40. Good one fella, can't wait for the next one.
about 60 ez
Ahhh those porta loos. Where there's a sign that says push the lever TWICE to flush but the crap is still there after 2000 pushes
think its celsius
@@jamesfinlinson5545 well aware it is Celcius. Just saying it gets hotter than that. Especially the last week here in Townsville.
it probably gets to about 80-90 in the porta 40 is quite cold
im aware he meant Celsius its obvious. if he added a C i couldn't joke about it.
Every food group covered…..iced coffee chill for strong bones,meat pie for protein and carbs,wini blues for mental well being.Salute.
"...but they know the price I'm paying to do it. I'm willingly sitting in a plastic box full of shit in 40° heat, just cooking myself to get out of sleeping."
The delivery of this line. 🤣
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie. 😂😭😂
Being an over grown freak of a person actually worked out in my favor in this situation. Got veteran respect quick cuz they realized that I could do a lot of stuff without the need of a ladder, or haul more bull shit
Then the boss stops replacing broken ladders because you are the ladder. Every penny counts or something
how tall are ya
Same brother. Worked resi for a bit before switching to commercial and pulling Romex for lights in soffits was cake at 6’7”
@@jdkuhl3096Holy shit you're a giant!
All of this! I've been on site 26 years and everything in this skit is true. The Brickie's video you did that brought me here is so bang it's actually scary!
the chicken scam was pure genius. i worked in the construction business 30 years. gotta love a clean port-o-let. the guy that serviced them was my hero.
I was watching something else but as soon as I saw your notification I dropped everything to watch your video. Loved it!!! Please make more. I introduced your videos to my family members and they're hooked.
Garn makes my day when he posts
It's like a dankpods microphone test, utter beauty mate.
This is so accurate, this level of precision is only archived by being the apprentice yourself
1:10 xD "Start the bosses truck because breath o locked and he's a piss head"
The accuracy in uncanny. lmao
When the hysterical laughter dies and you're hit by an existential crisis as you realise how accurate all of Murph's videos are
This guy has to be the funniest Aussie ever
@Jesus Gonzalez aboriginals are 3% of the population there’s about 3 guys in this vid do the math of Aussie representation
Being a 3rd year apprentice myself I must say you are on fucking point with everything 😂. Great video as always, keep the good work up!
This one guy on a game told me that you get mercilessly bullied for months if you don't drive a manual
very true
This is the most accurate portrayal of the "trades" I have ever seen, Thank You!
It was actually funny watching this get filmed. 2 houses down from my in laws house and my house is actually being built on the block next to the house used for filming. 😂 what a laugh to watch it in person
Very authentic depiction of the work site with only one exception: portapotties are NEVER that clean. Everything else was spot-on though.
Nothing better than fucking around with the apprentice 😂
I feel personally attacked, impressed, and nostalgic all at the same time
I have worked in the construction field... they would send the new hires to go look for the "wood stretcher" and everyone would be in on the joke and send them all around in circles... one place to the next...
Gotta refill that bubble fluid
About to start my first course in building and construction tomorrow and this video comes out. Perfect timing garn
This man deserves more subs. Epic content 🤘
Been waiting for your next one and you guys haven't disappointed. Great work.
My father is a carpenter and I worked as a apprentice for about 2 1/2 years and when I would spend too long in the bathroom him and his friends would throw blocks of wood and bricks and shit at the outhouse, now I don’t know If anyone reading this has been a outhouse when it hits by a 5-10pound projectile thrown by a man who regularly benches 250, but it’s a terrifying experience
As a person who's worked in refineries, I can honestly say, when you come out from that death box of taco farts and heat, it feels like you are diving into a cool refreshing pool.
Lol so true
Found your channel about a week ago, binged watched all of your videos in one night. You should have your own Netflix show for this
Whitest Kids You Know: Aussie Edition
Getting serious now, stunts and all!!! Love it as always.....
Good to know life on site ain't no different in Oz. Never gets old sending the apprentice to the store for a long weight. ;)
Happy to have found this gem of a channel! Thanks very kindly for the laughs I look forward to sharing your content and watching more!
When I was an apprentice diesel mechanic, I learned more in 1 year than most do in the full 5.
My mentor treated me like a son and threw me right in.
When my classmates were still handing tools to their mechanics, I was making custom suspension spring packs for dump trucks, learned to weld properly, could diagnose and fix anything electrical. Everyone at the shop thought I was a natural, or really smart; I'm not, he was just that good of a teacher. I grew up without a dad, he treated me like a son; I ended up marrying his daughter.
Life is crazy
by far one of the best skits yet.
You know its a good day when old Murph uploads
Best Aussie RUclipsr out there
Finally Garn's getting the recognition they deserve! I'm sure all other videos gonna hit a million plus 👍
Taping the broom to the hands killed me.
I literally did that to someone before.
Best day when you upload, cheers!
Great stuff. Keep it up! We are always here if you want to make funny internet content together!
Hi
This collab needs to happen 🤔
this needs to happen
Was hoping to see the 'sky hook' on that shopping list 🤣🤣 classic stitch up
I was a mechatronics apprentice. I just spent the entire shift desoldering components from old equipment lol
American electrician journeyman. Sounds about right
Apprentice chef, energy drinks and smoko every 10 minutes
Tough gig but someones gotta do it - signed, Ex-kitchenhand
That was me dropped out of year ten right into kitchen full time loaded on energy drinks and only breaks being for a smoko
boss was always off his head
free beer and food was pretty cool tho
We had a young fella wait 3 hours in the crash shop ,we sent him to ge a long weight.but we ran him every 10 minutes going off.blokes in the crash shop couldnt even look him in theface with losing it.
I can’t stop laughing this guy is a genius 😂. The look on the 2 guys faces at the end had me.
US: you’re not so different, you and I…
Been a Diesel mechanic for 21 years. I hated being an Apprentice. Graveyard shift. Working holidays. Now I am a Senior mechanic who walks around with my coffee in hand and a goofy smile…
couldnt agree more with being messed around with all day, as a first year carpentry apprentice
Been looking forward to you boys posting again. Never seem to disappoint. Love the content. Wish there was more of it more often 🥰
Wtf this is a copy
Rule number one of apprenticeship
If you can’t fix it The painter will fix it
Saw this vid, laughed my arse off, subscribed!
As someone who has worked as a labourer in construction, this is scary accurate.
That’s what I thought too and I’ve never been down under even, some things are universal
I'm actually excited to get into an apprenticeship. I'm currently searching for an employer and that's pretty hard but this is a path I really want to do and will keep on searching.
How true & accurate & damn funny is this??? 😂😂😂
Still got my fingers crossed for every hospo ever. Bloody legend keep it up.
0:02 You're right, this does prove that we should pay everyone else more. Cheers. o.-
A.G.
They would tell me at the machine shop where we sold auto parts, "Go in the back and find me a radiator cap for a VW Bug." Spent a lot of time looking for that rarity. Face still straight over that one.
Probably best (accurate) representation of Aussie lifestyle
As someone who works on site as a labourer trying to earn my way up the ladder I can totally attest to all of this
Hey apprentice, get us a long weight a left handed driver drill and some striped paint, and don't forget the sky-hooks to keep the roof up while we bolt it in place
Inb4 the apprentice books up the sky hooks from the local crane bloke on a 4 hour minimum charge inc. transport cost
No cunts getting Friday beers for 6 months hahaha
bro dying sweating in the shitter to avoid work is apprentice 101. Good shit
my soul shattered at 0:20 when he dropped all those things on the floor
Worked as an apprentice shipfitter for 2 years, union job. 9 out of 10 people you work with are nice enough to show you how things work, both for doing the job and avoiding doing the job, and what a good balance is for each. You always work for 1 of 3 people: the first one doesn’t give a shit what you do as long as something gets done today and you don’t fuck around so much that someone notices, the second one wants everything done exactly by the book to the point where you do more waiting, talking, and paperwork than actual work, and the third is an asshole who doesn’t care whether you’re supposed to be doing this because he’s 3 days behind schedule and it better be done in 2 hours, try not to fall to your death if you can. To this day I’m amazed at the amount of work that gets done and the amount of people that don’t get hurt but hey, 8 hours good pay + benefits for 1-2 hours of work under most supervisors is a pretty good deal. Got me plenty of extra cash for going back to school
