‘Tonightly’ Has A Message For All The Politicians In Canberra: “Do Your Fucking Jobs”
This about sums it up.
The team at Tonightly have a simple message for all the dickhead politicians squabbling over who gets to be in charge of Australia: “do your fucking jobs”.
On Thursday, the government voted to suspend Parliament until September 10 so it could figure out who the fuck is in charge. By midday today we’ll probably have a new Prime Minister, although the current guy has promised to make things as difficult as possible. The whole place is in chaos, as our elected representatives show yet again that they’re more interested in their own egos than they are in actually running the country.
But hey, at least the jokes have been good.
The Tonightly sketch features four everyday Australians — a barista, a doctor, an office worker and “an actor dressed as a tradie”, who all want the exact same thing.
“Sure, sometimes I have to work with people that I don’t like, and it can be hard,” says the office worker. “But I do it, because it’s my fucking job.”
“Sometimes I look at my boss and think I could do a job better than him,” agrees the barista. “But then I shut the fuck up and I do my job. Do you know why? Because I’m not a fucking psychopath.”
“Sure, there are unpleasant parts of my job, like looking into people’s bum holes,” adds the doctor. “But at the end of the day, it’s just my fucking job.”
“Every other fucking person in this country seems to be able to do their fucking jobs,” says the actor. “Except you fuckwits.”
“We’re pretty sure you get paid a lot to do it,” he adds. “Like five fucking times what a teacher gets.”
It’s funny because it’s depressingly true.
