Literal Gen Z apprentice skitfrom @lamottagroup
[01]
Overview
The creator acts out a scenario where a boss asks his Gen Z apprentice to check if they have more nails in the truck. The video follows the apprentice on a long, dramatic walk to the truck, where he sees the nails, but instead of bringing them back, he walks all the way back empty-handed just to confirm they exist. The video concludes with the boss throwing his hammer at the apprentice in exaggerated frustration over the literal interpretation of his instructions.
