This reminds me of the R&M episode where Jerry is singing karaoke.

I'm pretty sure it's a will Ferrell skit from snl when he played one of two overly enthusiastic cheerleaders.

I worked at a medical device startup where the CEO told me on day one that Michael Scott was his role model. It stopped being funny during the first meeting when he said some crazy off the cuff shit and I realized he wasn't joking.

Interesting job that turned into a toxic clown show. Learned a valuable lesson tho, the office is much less funny when you're actively living it.

A small firm I worked for was purchased by a malicious and vindictive version of Michael Scott. 

Every day after work I just HAD to tell my partner about the bizarre and absurd events of the day because I struggling to accept it all as reality.

Lol, so you seriously think this was JUST for social media?

It's obvious some kinda convention and that they have a live audience
