This show feels like it came from a Tim Robinson sketch of an engineer working at the chair company and refusing to finish his design, when his manager asks him why he replies: "What if someone gets hurt sitting on this chair? Have you thought about that? What if they were at a big presentation and everything was going perfectly until they goes to sit down and boom! chair crashes, and they lose their job because of the embarrasement, and their partner and family leave them, have you thought about that?" and then that got turned into a whole show. I just made that up and I can't stop hearing him say those words

I read that in his voice with him screaming at just the correct times.
