Is Joe's cruise ship experience the funniest thing he's ever done?

[Dennyislife]

In the 90s, pre the office, there was a work place documentary set on a cruise ship that followed people working on the boat and what they live was like. The office massively took that concept of normal people working being filmed and went with it. The original show made one of the boat acts a star. A US remake with Joe but it being embarrassing and sad would be wonderful

It's provided an incredible amount of funny material. Once you get past the regular stuff you have his phone bill, sneaking cookies in a Pringles can like he's in jail, and his teeth falling out. At this point I expect him to fall overboard the day before it's over.

When he first announced it, I thought it would be funny to get his gig cancelled.

I'm man enough to admit I was wrong. Joe trolled himself on our behalf worse than any of us ever could.

AND PUT IT ALL OUT FOR EVERYONE TO POINT AND LAUGH

Peak buffoonery

yeah, this wasnt one of those petty gigs that he can rebound from. Being under contract and far from home. Separated from his comfort zone. It was clear that it was going to be a disaster and he would do it all on his own with no interference. The only risk would be if he never posted about it but with being lonely he was sure to post to facebook like diary. You know there are more hilarious details that he hasnt posted about but maybe he will as time goes by.

The whole thing feels like some bizarre A24 movie, similar to The Whale. An aging cover band musician thinking he's booked the gig of his life but slowly going crazy in his maritime jailcell, all juxtaposed against the beautiful locals of European port cities that he couldn't care less about. Losing his teeth, taking an uber to a closed casino, sneaking cookies back to his room, can't you see a Willem Defoe or Nicholas Cage or Russell Crowe understanding the tragedy of it all? Isolating himself from his family once the roaming charges hit, isolating himself from his crew and using social media to show his descent into sea madness.

I think the cruise is better than the peoples court just because it’s been going on for so long. It’s like he slipped on a banana peel at the top of Mount Everest and is still tumbling down like Homer Simpson.

Also, he WON in Peoples Court

He lost money doing this job

Joe has this specific funniness about him that Pat can never come close to.

Joe is a classic comedic buffoon, like a slow-witted Ralph Kramden, always getting himself into hilarious pickles with his blowhard stupidity. Joe's the kind of clown who'd step on a rake, knock his teeth out, AND require a tetanus shot, which he'd have an allergic reaction to. Always bungling his way through another harebrained scheme, getting all carried away with acting like a big shot, only to fail miserably each and every time. It's timeless slapstick.

I was thinking that. If he hasn’t completely run through it yet, I’m excited to see whatever buffoonery the good lord has planned to gobble up that list $50

There's a special circle in Hell for hack musicians and it looks a lot like what Joe's going through now: forced to play dad-rock covers to a cruise audience for all eternity, while your body slowly rots.

using social media to show his descent into sea madness.

This scene would be demonstrated with the Normandy Beach story. It'll show what actually happened: JoeH puttering around, kicking rocks, scooping sand into a vitamin B bottle, and talking to nobody. Then he goes back to his dank cell, fires up Facebook, and writes a fictional sob story about a woman who wants JoeH to help her with her husband's ashes (or whatever bullshit he came up with).

 

[Mr-Wrinkle-Paws]

I'm hoping the get annoyed at Joe enough if the get into a area with icebergs they drop him off on one, bye Joe

Everything about it is just completely demeaning for a man his age.

He's sneaking out food & alcohol and bragging about "breaking the rules" like he's the bad boy at school: he's in his 60s.

The man accepted a borderline entry level job on his 60s and complains about the pay, the schedule, the poor treatment & lack of respect from management.


It's hilarious how out of touch with the real world he is, and he just broadcasts it to the world daily. He's like an 18 year old who just moved out & figuring it out.

Typical Joseph Cumia behavior: he does one contract and immediately wants a cushier one that meets his bovine demands

He better have a good reference from his current contract if he wants to land a job like that. Haha.

Also, does this confirm that he’s pretty much already fucked his permanent record because he was going to the casino on board? Lmao

I wish we had the ability to fund a documentary crew to film Joe on his next cruise. It'd be the most entertaining show ever made. I can just picture him showing the camera his Pringles can full of cookies that he smuggled into his room and wandering around the ship with not a friend to be had while everyone is else is having a great time , cleaning the toilets like he's still in the military, not allowed to drink or go in the casino while explaining why he's happy with all this.

I never thought about this but it is possible that one of the odd jobs they have Joe doing is peeling potatoes. If we find out that actually happened I don’t think my ribs could take it.

 

[Udders]

There are tons of people who do cruise ships as a living and Moo thinks he's gonna be treated like a VIP if he does a second contract. It's amazing, hes such a blowhard buffoon, I wish there was a camera on him 24/7.

Joe has the same level of entitlement as Anthony but with none of the money or fame (using that word very loosely for nana these days). He really thinks rules shouldn't apply to him and that he's doing the cruise operator some huge favor by agreeing to share his huge musical gift with the passengers.

Joe, you're barely above the person cleaning the toilets on that ship. Just some hired monkey to entertain the geriatric passengers with the same songs night after night. Know your place, moo.

It would be funny if there was some sort of completion bonus for not bailing but they found his social media posts and fired him early so they wouldn't have to pay it
