That sucked. “Internal” or not.
Reason number 7 why I left WME. we all know how much you love yourselves over there….get a clue and do your jobs
It’s funny because they confirmed well-worn stereotypes of the agency side of the biz while simultaneously pleading the case of all creatives as suffering. I love funny humor. Ha.
Embarrassing stereotypes, I think….
Jesus… everyone is so mean on this board. I thought it was kinda funny.
You hear that? It’s the sound of me spinning in my tomb at Hillside Memorial.
I miss the old days of eating g’filte fish with the rest of the top coppos at Mulholland Tennis Club and the wife, before there was such a thing as “diversity,” or “webisodes,” and “The Voting Rights Act.” Man, we had some wild Seders, and this was before the talkies.
I’ll tell ya’ one thing, it’s only too bad I’m not alive to rep that Draizin kid. I haven’t seen such talented comedic chops since Bob Evans played Pedro Romero in the Sun Also Rises. Seriously, this kid is going straight to the top.
(*I am not a WME agent, nor client. You couldn’t pay me to work at an agency. I’d rather work for the gardner, or hell, The Weinsteins.)
I for one I’m glad to see that there are some people out there that recognize their assistants have creativity too, and then actually supports them enough to let them explore that.
Of course it’s not top-notch, if it where they would be producers & writers and not assistants. It’s an internal gag for a meeting that WME is opening up to the rest of us… for FREE. If you don’t like it, then it’s not for you. Go click on another of the thousands of web clips that are worse than this. Why take a dump on someone’s endeavors?(no pun intended)
This is hilarious. Mo nailed it, +10%
Black Guy: I’m just here for diversity.
Brutal. True. Funny.
Yikes. This is embarrassing. Entertaining to watch, but embarrassing.
pretty lame, absolutely nothing new here.
This shit is hilarious and I’m not just saying this for the sake of “diversity.”
Please explain the woman holding a gun to the man’s (with the ZZ Top beard) head in the background of Zuckerberg conference room scene. Seriously, I don’t understand it.
Not as bad as I had expected.
Vitriolic hatred and anti-semitism is not the same as a joke. Do you hate stand up comedy too? Stupid shit.
David Stone may not be Daniel Day Lewis in this clip, but he’s a superstar agent. Try to get one past him — good luck. Not gonna happen. Not sure if Paul Haas has put on 40-50 lbs. — is that baby weight? Is he preggers? I hear he’s a he-she.
yea I like David
No one seems to be able to have fun anymore. Bad horrible comments not worth the time it took to write them. Lighten up everyone. This was 4 minutes of fun.
As a client, I’m embarrassed by this. And I bet a lot of other clients are as well. The agents I work with at WME are actually pretty great human beings.
I thought it was pretty funny. WME has a sense of humor. And wah wah wah cry me a river about it being racist. Relaxxxx.
Hahaha Ryan, what a funny (and super nice!) guy. Loveddddd the vid, v v entertaining
so funny and very well done!
this is so embarrassingly bad. seriously. and i’m not even a wme hater.
I liked it. It is all a joke. I am not sure why everyone is getting so up in arms about the common stereotypes of the business?
Being in the industry personally, both sides are fun to poke at. Some are even true! Most exaggerated, but come onnn! Lighten up.
Good time guys
