“I’m here and I’m not a cat..” Good 😂
I was gonna post exactly the same comment! I watched it 3 times 😂
I nearly peed myself 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My favourite "viral" thing to come out of the last 5 years 😂
That is still the funniest zoom fuck up I've seen lol
My favorite video from Covid, makes me laugh everytime
Not the poor mom frantically scrambling through the door to get the kids back out of the room as fast as possible, then crawling back on her hands and knees to close the door behind her! Im dying! 🤣😂🤣
I remember people assumed that was the nanny and he had to come out and tell people that was his wife. Good on him for doing that, just a shame people assumed!
@@tildatea That surprises me as you could tell those beautiful babies were hers.
Cracks me up every time.
I think her pants were undone too because she was in the bathroom which makes it even more him hilarious and relatable 😅🤦♀️
@@carriehazel77I heard this too. Poor mum, can’t even use the toilet in peace. 😂
I’m not a cat was one my favorite things from lockdown. I still laugh just as hard. 😂
I'm glad he told the judge that he was, in fact, not a cat. Important for the court to know.
Classic😂😊
@@egressful for the record, of course. 🤣
10:56 As an interviewer, I’d love this. This is a perfect opportunity to see how you cope when stuff inevitably happens. And pretending it didn’t happen is the wrong choice.
pretending it didn't happen is something I do because I suffer from chronic anxiety, so I guess I'm screwed in interviews 😅
@@dalmajikkot90as an interviewer I want to let you know to NEVER listen to advice like this.
I had the same resume that half the places I applied to commended me for it being one if the best they've seen, the other half laughed and said it was bad.
The best advice you can get is to be yourself. If you do what this person says, but it isn't natural to you, you're going to look stiff and strange.
If you write the way some interviewer gives advice in some tutorial, but you don't normally write like that, I'll notice, it won't be natural.
Secondly, if I hire you based on your act, and when you start next Monday and you don't write emails like how well your resume is written, or act the way you do on our interview.. it's an instant fire.
Be yourself. Always. Some will like it others will hate it. Don't act.
In summation, the comment you're replying to you only works foe that person. Someone else won't feel the same. Like me for example. I think that's a bad take and I don't think one way or other about it.
That person will take it strange and maybe not hire you. I won't view it any type of way and would hire you.
Be. Yourself.
it’s a good thing not all interviewers are the same then! not everyone thinks with one thought at a time. if my chair broke, it wouldn’t phase me. I would hope the conversation could continue. would maybe have them repeat themselves if I couldn’t hear them over the crashing noises but other than that, I’d ignore it. it’s definitely a judgement in character but not in the way you’re on about. multi tasking exists you know? you can do one task as another task comes in.
"I'm not a cat." Exactly what a cat impersonating a lawyer would say...
😂🤣😂
8:48 I need them to go find the rest of the story on this guy. He got viral on the news here and tried to play the victim and claimed the state had messed up somewhere and he wasn’t suspended. The judge dug into this guys record, dmv status and everything and found he’s NEVER had a license! And the guy knew it! The clip is great but it gets even crazier and they absolutely need to show him on DCI
Never had a license??
@@liz9843 If I recall correctly, he moved states, and his license in the previous state he'd lived in was suspended. He had lived in that state (Michigan, I think it was) for well past long enough to get a new license, and he just never got one. That's why their license registry didn't have one for him. His lawyers hammed it up in the beginning to make it seem like he'd had a license from another state and the attorney general had made a mistake in thinking he had a suspended Michigan license. Then a lot of people got angry on the guy's behalf, because America loves to hate on politicians making dumb mistakes (it happens a lot here). Then the attorney general's office released the facts of the case, and we all found out the guy never had a Michigan license; all he had was a suspended license from another state. It was quite the circus while it was going on. The funny thing about it is that the Judge in question (Judge Simpson) is an internet darling, and he's generally a very fair but very no-nonsense kind of judge. That's probably part of the reason why this went so viral.
Yeaahhh, that started to play and my reaction was "Oof, news about that spread slowly, outside of the states..." 😬
@@Shukochan No no, he NEVER had a driver's license in ANY state, but Michigan still suspended his driving privileges due to unpaid child support. The law changed in 2021, allowing such suspensions to be lifted, but he didn’t complete the necessary steps to clear it. When he was pulled over in 2023, authorities assumed his privileges were still suspended based on old records.
The toddler and her little brother, Marion and James, were in 2017, pre-pandemic. Their dad was skyping in from South Korea, to update about affairs with N. Korea, and the babies just toddled in. They had a cult following for a while, and Marion was pretty famous in South Korea. She is actually the cutest child ever. Haha. Their mum is amazing, too.
Holy wow, that was 8 years ago??
I knew it. I thought I was going crazy, there was no way that was from 2020. I knew it was older and that I'd seen way before any of it started. And yes the reaction was very different to when everyone was going through it all. Unfortunately their reactions were not the best and drew more attention to the whole thing 😬
Honestly, the girl who fell through her chair had the best answer for when they ask why she'd like to work for them 😅
"Well, as you probably noticed, I need a new desk chair" ... You're Hired! Start tomorrow 😂
I love how Ryan started to do the arms and the side-to-side before the toddler did. We all know and love that clip!
During the pandemic my 5th grade son had class via zoom with a really nice, calm, and encouraging teacher.
One day we heard a little commotion in the background, and she said "Excuse me for a minute."
She killed the video but forgot to mute the audio so we all heard her scream at the top of her lungs, "I told you to go watch Paw Patrol. Go! Now! Get out!"
Then we heard a door slam and a moment later she came back on just as sweet and nice and polite as ever.
😂😂😂😂😂 Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde behaviour 😂😂😂
The judge with the driving while suspended has lots of crazy cases! 🤣
I watch a lot of his cases and Judge Simpson rarely disappoints
And also the hilarious thing is the Guy looked really shocked at the end because he had thought that had already been overturned. He thought he had his license. They should’ve given it back to him ages ago and so he spent a night in jail while they figured out that they had not put through the paperwork.😅
@@averlinbc5680I think the full story ended up being that he never actually did the paperwork or whatever was necessary to get his license back. There was a lot of confusion about it. He SHOULD have had his license but he never went through the steps necessary to get it after initially losing it.
@@averlinbc5680 He never had a driver's license in any state, but Michigan still suspended his driving privileges due to unpaid child support. The law changed in 2021, allowing such suspensions to be lifted, but he didn’t complete the necessary steps to clear it.

The cat filter will forever be one of my favorites 💗😊
The Kitty Kat Lawyer will never not be the funniest thing in the history of everything. 🤣
I started my first small business from home in the 70s when WFH was not considered a legit thing. You could actually buy cassette tapes of office noises (typewriters, phones ringing, etc.) to play in the background when you made phone calls so you would sound like you were in a "real" office.
My 1st week at current job. A raccoon came in my cat door while I was in a meeting. I thought I hung up. No, everyone saw me running around my kitchen shooing it out frantically. Better yet. Didn't put the cap on the door and the bugger came back during the same meeting and they were like "You have company again." Lol.
Wish we could have watched too, now that it's over and we can all laugh about it! 😂😂
I'm a lawyer in Texas and I can tell you every lawyer I know looked up how to change Zoom filters after the 394th Judicial District Court released that video!
To use em, right? Right?
10:20 Okay but what an ice breaker. Also a great way to be remembered during the interview process, you won't be forgotten
I’ve see the cat filter a hundred times and it’s ALWAYS hilarious
"I'm not a cat " Sounds exactly like something a cat would say.
I know many people had rough times during lockdown, but I so wanted a work from home job. Being an essential worker meant that lockdown wasn't really any different for me
Yeah I work as a cleaner at a school and was considered an essential worker and worked right through the pandemic 😅
Same.
The I'm not a cat one had me in stitches. 😂
I still work from home and my “desk” is one end of the dinning room table. When my 3 year old grandson comes over he sits in my chair and taps the keyboard and says “I’m working”. It’s so cute!
that one video with the dad on the news witj the two kids takes me out every time
The full story behind the suspended driver situation is actually pretty crazy/entertaining.
Where can I find it? 😮
@@vikki6283 Maybe best told by Josh Johnson: "Suspended Driver Dials In From Dashboard"
@@vikki6283 Josh Johnson has a good set about it. Check out his "Suspended Driver Dials In From Dashboard"
I need to know 😭
I bet you love watching suspenseful movies😐
I cannot believe you two weren't laughing more at the dog throwing up, especially the last noise she/he made! I was fucking snorting and wheezing! 🤣🤣
it was the green suit for me 🤣🤣
2:36 50 years from now, kids will be studying this as part of their history syllabus. This was a ‘canon event’ for us all 😂
4:44 yes. Also this one haha
6:51 wait… have you guys not seen this one?! The punchline is absolute perfection 🤌
I had to physically cover the microphone on my laptop as I am so paranoid about being accidentally off mute during a meeting so they don’t hear me either bitching about what my boss is saying or singing to my dog 😂
I’m so paranoid I have to check my phone hasn’t spontaneously unlocked, started recording, and gotten itself prepared to send the recording to the person I was bitching about.
hate to break it to you but “covering the microphone” isn’t a thing. unlike light, sound still penetrates. if it’s at the right frequency, you’ll be heard.
@@bagandbroad honestly that’s so real. it’s like when I use my phone in public, I have the brightness on the lowest because what if I’m on google and suddenly it starts blasting my nudes full screen? you never know 😅
I work from home, and it's great! I'm disabled, so the commute is easier and I have more control over the hours, environment, etc., which makes working at all possible. Plus, I love not having to worry about wearing anything fancy. :) PJ bottoms? Yes please!
My favourite lockdown zoom video will forever be the Hanforth parish council meeting. So good! 😂 “YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY HERE JACKIE WEAVER” *person is deleted from call* 😂
Yeah, I was in an online language class and we shared screens and this one girl had about ten bookmarked AO3’s in the bar. Worst thing was the class ended before I could message her for recommendations because I love AO3 too.
The cat one is just as hilarious as the wee kids coming in to see daddy 😂😂 Bloody Love the driving one, what a complete numpty 🤦🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣
My partner would dress in his suit and go past with a stack of papers etc. To make the zoom feel more 'businessy' if he had to go past.
10:53 I was at an interview, got offered some tea. First sip, BIGGEST choking fit of my life!!
My husband and I both worked at the same university, but in different colleges. He was at the College of Pharmacy, and I was in the Admissions Office of The Graduate School. When we first came home to work during the pandemic, we were sharing his at home office. It was not ideal, as I spent a lot of time on the phone and was doing a lot of talking. We were really starting to get on each other's nerves. The time that broke the camel's back was when he was in a Zoom meeting with his office and I was on a Zoom with a faculty member from the College of Engineering. Turns out that one of his work colleagues is the wife of the faculty member that I was in a Zoom call with. They were also having to share a home office. So I could hear his wife, my husband, and him in my headphones, and my husband could hear our meeting and his, and everything was in a constant echo back and forth. I told the professor I was talking with that I would call him back. I immediately took my total "office" set up and shoved everything around in the extra bedroom/sewing room.
True story, I was a real estate broker working from home in my Florida office in my bedroom with the door closed (long before zoom back in the 90's). It was almost 100 degrees F. I was working in my bra and panties just sweating. I was on the phone with a swiss bank executive trying to get the wire transfer issue for a client who's house we were closing on. My only child was 5 years old supposed to be at the neighbors who was supposed to be babysitting with her own kids. In walks my 5 year old with a huge bull frog in her hands to show me followed by a crowd of kids. My quietly trying to kick everyone out of my room breathing hard as I was waving them all away while trying to hide behind the door. Swiss bank executive chuckling at my breathing hard. My long distance phone bill was over $800. We did eventually get it all sorted out and the transaction did close. My child has never brought home a bull frog since and has since gotten her own house and I am a grandma. I believe it's time my grandson have a new pets someday soon. Ribbit!
I still can't contain myself on that cat one, that is so old and it's still hilarious.
I'm a stylist.... The amount of people that work from my studio is WILD.
I absolutely love Toni and Ryan I listen and watch videos every day ❤
The green screen suit killed me 😂😂😂😂
You know the guy without the license is gonna drive hiself to the jail lmao
So cute that guy saved his dog before the laptop, good man! ❤️
I can’t watch that lawyer video without laughing… it must be a million times now. Never fails me! 😂
I had a phone interview during lock down through an app! After the interview I stood up, stretched and shouted to my daughter "that's a piece of piss, must be a moron not to get a job there"!!! My phone was in my hand and I heard my name!! I hadn't disconnected from the interviewers app!!! He was explaining how I need to disconnect!!! I refused the job offer
DCI contender...someone stole my brothers jeep and drove it to his parole officer meeting. Straight to jail 😅
My cat set his tail on fire while I was working from home this week 😂
12:00 With the screen sharing, I usury use different desktops. E.g. a work one and then a fun one which I can open up after the meeting. It's pretty handy and I've never been caught sharing something not work related lol 😅
The 'I'm not a cat' Was hilarious here! He was interviewed about the call several times! Soooooo funny!
Judge Simpson was one of my favourite Zoom discoveries. He's so funny. 😊
Sometimes my dogs get into things while I'm on a WebEx call with my boss and co-workers, and I'll mute, turn my head, and fuss at my dogs to stop being naughty and be good, then I'll turn back to the meeting and my co-workers will be wide-eyed like "what is that insane person doing" because I forgot to turn off my camera. Ha-ha! Don't believe how insane it looks? Try it while recording your meeting. LMAO!!!
7:33 it was at this moment he knew he f’d up. 😂😂😂😂
We had some quarterly call in our company some years back. There was a guy whose mic was accidentially on. Hundreds of people on the call. Roosters, some crickets, some coughing. Couple of pleads: "Who ever you are, please, close your microphone." Then, vomiting noices. Huge, long stream vomiting noices, flushing. Someone somehow finally switched imhis mic off. Some time passes by, rinse and repeat: roosters, crickets, vomit, vomit, flushing. And then once again.
12:37 this boy is a Capricorn and he is going places. Do not stand in his way. Some day he will be writing your will hahaha
Last night, I tried to lay back in my rolling chair, without disturbing my cat too much such that he abandon my lap, and I hit the tipping point of the chair so fiercely that I crashed backwards, knocking my head on a little table with plates and a bunch of silverware, immediately knocking all of it to the ground. The cat that was once on my lap was catapulted over me, just like my headphones and my hat. I hit the ground so hard, I was convinced I had a few broken vertebrae. I was too ashamed to call out to my partner to come help me up, so I layed there for about 20 minutes, before I could muster the strength to pick myself up. Lmfao
I am from Detroit and the judge for the driving without a license video is a fucking legend in Michigan. He is funny and he is fair as fuck. We love him!!!!
I can't stop seeing that lamp behind Toni as a butter churner 😂
Rolly chair girl had an accident on the commute home!
I love this guy who's wife drags her children out of the world room 😂
That judge hearing the suspended license case was hilarious, he was just so flabbergasted haha
Chair breaks during interview “and that’s why I need this job” lol
7:33 Love Judge Simpson.
I can't keep it anymore, I am in love with Ryan!
Toni: Still working, look at that commitment!
Me remembering the time I took my work laptop to the ER cause I knew they were going to admit me and I absolutely attended a team meeting from the ER bay and worked half a day from a hospital room. 😅😭🙃
DCI 😂😂 Oh thank you I’ve been looking for a term
"why do you want this job?"
"So i can buy a new chair."
If that swivel chair thing happened to me during a job interview, I would have said: Well sir as you can see, I need this job cause everything I have is breaking and apparently I need new furniture ❤😂
That idiot driving with the suspended licence is the Mayor of DCI 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
the dog on the table guy was in his skivvies too 😂😂
The kids walking into the meeting and the mum running in always makes me laugh for 2 other reasons; the first was he didnt get up as he was only wearing boxer shorts and 2, the mum had gone to the bathroom and came out to see the kids in the background on the living room tv!
Odds that the guy with the suspended license drove to his bench warrant?
This happened at my job during a meeting with our entire department of 70+ people including the VP. She some how unmuted and screamed “Fuck this is boring!” They fired her that day. 😳
You can get fired for that?
Omg i love lawyer cat! Emily d Baker has used that filter too and its always hilarious
I love having you both in the same frame!!!!
Have you guys seen the video where the guy walks away from the zoom meeting thinking he’s turned his camera off or closed out or something and then he goes and grabs tissues and lotion and starts undoing his pants as his coworkers are screaming, “Dan, Dan - nooo!”?
Fully using DCI now. That’s hilarious. I would send so many people there
Toni, I too have stood on a rolling chair and, yep hurt myself! 😅
At my previous job, my boss found my CV in the office printer and asked if I was looking for a new job 😂😂. I had used the work printer to make copies of my CV lol. Let’s just say it wasn’t long after this incident that I did in fact find a new job and I’ve been there nearly 5 years xx
The morph suit 😂
When I started back work from home after my daughter was born, I had such horrible new mom face I use the Avatar of myself on zoom. Whenever I drank coffee, the bottom of my coffee mug made my avatar open it's mouth super big. Hilarious.
The "... I'm not a cat." almost made me choke. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Y'all put the HARM in Harmony 🙄🙄🤭🤣🤣🥂😘😘
I always bookmarked my tabs and closed them before sharing my screen. 😂😂😂
9:51 I kid you not I did exactly that, literally 2 days ago I needed to reach this high thing in my bedroom that has both wooden floors and a chair with wheels...😐...
Yeah the right of my tailbone hurts so I can't sit down or walk without discomfort but it has gotten better, my foot is bruised and so is my arm
I laugh about it now and I laughed when it happened because it's such a me thing to do 🤣 I'm not in too much pain, just feels like I need to crack my tailbone
The ending 😂 got me😂😂
fun fact in american theres a marching band thing for college aged people called Drum Corps International aka DCI 😂
I backed out at an interview when he told me I had the job. I even still had the job when I came to😅
7:31 he did have his license back. There was a clerical error. I wish people would do research before posting stuff. He doesn't go to DCI
I worked from home and was also going through radiation therapy for breast cancer. I had burns on my chest from the treatment and was under doctor's orders to be topless whenever possible. I was worried to death my boss would have an impromptu video meeting and I would forget to cover up.
I never leave my home unless it’s for medical emergencies, medical appointments or if EMS and cops show up at my door saying they are evacuating me by ambulance to a hospital in a safe zone
My video froze as the woman in the rolling chair fell back and I fucking lost it 😂
Loving the DCI designation. The US just doesn't seem to like the word so one euphemism used here is "See you next Tuesday" or "C U next Tuesday." I feel like Aussies wouldn't really need to use this version 😂
Also second point relates to the lady who got the concussion from rolling on her chair. We've had two people hurt themselves on the wheeled chairs in our breakroom over several years. After this second time our managers decided to remove all the wheels on the lunch table chairs. Now the chairs are shorter than the tables and it makes you feel like a kid at the grown-up table. Even more ridiculous is that there are still a couple chairs with wheels because there are work computers in the breakroom and safety rules require you MUST have a rolling chair with a work computer. Stationary chairs aren't allowed. Guess who still uses the wheeled chair meant for computer-use only when they're on lunch? The rest of us get to play kindergarten and eat with a table at chest height. I haven't looked into it yet but I want to guess that the stationary chairs wouldn't meet standards for safety/ergonomics because now they're too short 🫠
I never went on camera during zoom classes in uni because my laptop screen was "cracked and broken at the top so the camera didn't work properly" and as a broke uni student i "couldn't afford to get it fixed." Even the dickhead profs couldn't argue with sound logic
Toni's Blink 182 shirt is the best 👌
2:30 - lawyer stuck as cat was from roughly the same part of Texas as “Dr.” Phil is from.
Legend has it the guy without a license drove himself to jail
I do pastel colours in my hair and it sometimes takes hours, so i totally work from the hair dressers 😅 gonna have a 6 hour colour& extension retouching session this week, not gonna waste pto on that 😂
Good times to wake up to you two
At the end of last year I had to work from the hairdressers chair. Not out of choice mind you! I'd poorly timed the appointment for cut-off day and sod's law my team was racing against the clock to get our code merged in before the 18:00 cut-off. My appt was at 17:30. I was so stressed. 😂 Never again.
13:09 Ryan’s expression, and then an obvious cut. Did he go off?
I had a job interview and the interviewer did not put his camera on for the whole 60mins, so I just had to answer to a black screen whilst he could see me. Was one of the most awkward things I’ve ever had happen.
Ive been once told off by my manager for having clothing website opened in the background while sharing my screen...
I had to remind him that we are working for gadgets agency and TEXTILES are the part of our job and i was not doing it for myself but the clothes he was was a clients demand to be fine in next job we had from him.
