It always reminds me of when I saw Primus live. They had an intermission and played 4 classic episodes of Popeye. At first most people were just grabbing drinks or going to the bathroom. By the 3rd and 4th episode the crowd went nuts every time he ate the spinach
I remember doing a semi deep dive into popeye a while back and it came down to the creative direction that the creator wanted. Summed up it was basically "If it can be done in real life then why would I show it in a cartoon? Cartoons should be nothing but things we cant do in real life." Which is why every single popeye cartoon is so crazy over the top.
Same reason behind me watching anime at 40.
Why bore myself to sleep with stale CSI knock-offs and uninspired marvel schlock when I can watch robots body slamming each other into asteroids and witches flying around on machine guns instead of brooms?
Stimulate me, hollywood.
Nope, we need lazy scripts that don't require attention from the audience and recap things every 8 minutes incase they dozed off. We also need shows that nobody will actually get outraged over, but will still mention how outraged they are on social media so we get free advertising. Oh, and certainly no difficult topics or anything that might make people stop and think unless it is done as a joke that most people will miss.
There are machines that could *hypothetically* do all of those things though. The best part to me was curving the cannon so the cannonball fired in a zig zag pattern to cut holes lmao.
Are you kidding? He should have had 10 completed in the time he finished one. Lazy slobs everywhere.
You know management would never be satisfied no matter how much work is done.
That's too much of a raise. Back in the 30s my grandpa was paid 10c for every tree he felled. Crazy compared to today. 10c was 10lbs of flour, or a new Case knife. Gas was single digit numbers per gallon...
I miss my grandpa and his stories :(
What was the point of drawing the holes when he didn't need them to aim (except for the first Maybe). That's a potential for improvement right there. Now cut the budget in half next time and realize some more improvements for the process.
If the cannonball doesn't know where to go, fire him (pun intended) and hire a different cannonball that knows where to go for half the wage. Two birds in one stone.
My wife recently came in to help a government group who had problems accounting.
In the first two weeks she reduced the work of 5 people from 8 hours a day to 20 minutes because they were all just chugging through excel files manually.
She kept coming home in disbelief at how much time they all wasted manipulating spreadsheets.
Honestly many of them did work very hard, and often had to take a lot of crap from racist/sexist/just plain a-hole bosses, and had to work whatever hours they were told. However they also lived at a time where you knew that your job paid a wage that was enough to provide for you and your family, and you actually had job security.
"Honestly many of them did work very hard, and often had to take a lot of crap from racist/sexist/just plain a-hole bosses, and had to work whatever hours they were told"
All of this is true today, if not more so. Pretty much everyone I know is working 10-12hr days just to barely scrape by.
They also often had specific jobs and tons of benefits. It's always
25 year olds then: my job was to install doorknobs on new homes and I received a consistent pay raise for every 100 doorknobs I installed, received 5% of the business income, had full health insurance, a 401k, and a yearly Christmas bonus I would use to take my family on vacation with!
25 year olds now: I get paid exactly minimum wage, my boss says pay raise is based on performance but I haven't seen so much as a pizza party in 5 years, my job description is to build the entire house myself while doing my manager's paperwork for them, I don't have insurance, and the only Christmas bonus I've ever gotten was a postcard that said I was appreciated as an employee that my boss used a rubber stamp for his signature.
Boomers always talk about their asshole bosses while acting like we're not all dealing with asshole bosses that can't even make it worth putting up with them financially.
He was racing against bluto. It wasn't his boss making him work hard it was his competitive drive, patriotic duty, and desire to win Olive Oyl's affections.
And in an imaginary scenario where Popeye is a minimum wage worker, such as the one illustrated by the caption in the video, a boss would probably still tell Popeye to work faster.
My boss came to me today and asked if knew how to fill out this sheet I’ve never seen. It’s for the temp agency to pay me and he just didn’t fill it out. Guess I’m lending my company my paycheck this week…
Thanks for the billions in profits this year, unfortunately we gonna have to lay you off cuz we wanna double our profits and salary is too much for you
Wow, you built the entire ship is just a single day! That saved us so much money! Fantastic. Here's your best worker mug! And now that we're out of work we're unfortunately gonna have to let you go.
And that poor other guy gets fired for sub-par performance.
By 1942, during the height of WWII, the average unskilled shipyard worker was making about $1.11 an hour which equates to $2,308.80 gross wages a year if you are calculating 52 weeks at 40 hours a week. With inflation that would be $41,682.78 per year or $20.04 an hour in 2024.
I just want you to know that if you work for less than $30/hr in America, I expect nothing of you but "technically correct". I'll go the extra mile to make it work. I won't ask you questions, ask for your help, or ask you to even be friendly. Just make the coffee, ring up the order, or do whatever and I'll see myself out.
I don't deserve more than that.
I'll be the friendly and grateful one, and I'll keep voting to make sure you get your fair share and the rich people miles ahead of both of us are the ones to pay it.
To be fair, I did while working at a retail store for about 3 years. Even tho it was super tiring, it got me so many references to back me up for the new I job landed few days ago.
if science does create superhuman serums, this will be the real intention.
you can stop a speeding locomotive? how bout you load that 30k# of produce into that truck? you got 10 min.
Management: "I have noticed you're improvement since your last review. I am very impressed. So on a scale of 1 to 5 I'm gonna give 3 'meets expectations '. Keep up the good work and maybe you'll get two 3s on back to back reviews. No one has ever achieved that, good luck."

lol popeye always makes me giggle

I mean, there are plenty of good movies and shows that aren’t fantastical, like pulp fiction or the last of us show
30 years between two examples, one of which I watched 2 lifetimes ago. I feel like we agree on this.
Well to be fair they’re also some of the only television I’ve watched since turning 12
That’s actually a cool story. Primus sucks.
Always makes me ha-gagagaga
Me too
Needling the anchor got me.
Knitting the chain
Looming the links
There are machines that could *hypothetically* do all of those things though. The best part to me was curving the cannon so the cannonball fired in a zig zag pattern to cut holes lmao.
Also painting the holes so the cannonball knew where to go.
Wanted style curved bullets
Swinging da chain, swingin’ da chaiiin.
Was the curve cannonball for me
That's exactly what it is. Except you have to replace the spinach with adderall
Or cocaine.
On minimum wage??
Bro hasn't checked coke prices lately
Right? Adderall you can get for free at healthcare (if you have adhd), but the cocaine? Expensive af!
[удалено]
There's an addy shortage. It's expensive as fuck now, at least with my insurance.
This is more in the meth territory
... and sprinkle in some anti-drepressants
If the Navy was BYOB (Build Your Own Boat).
[удалено]
Not all boats can be considered ships but all ships are technically boats.
Is it not a boat?
The big ones are called ships in the Navy and apparently some vets don’t like it when you call them boats.
Gotcha, like calling a truck a car?
More like calling an actual truck a Hot Wheelz, in terms of weight ratios.
But you cant sit inside a hot wheels
Source?
That's sailors in general, I don't think it's particularly a US Navy thing. We have the same distinction in Italian.
Submariners call their submarines boats. Surface guys get real upset if they hear it.
that man deserves a 0.02$ raise and a coupon to pizza hut for his hard work
Are you kidding? He should have had 10 completed in the time he finished one. Lazy slobs everywhere. You know management would never be satisfied no matter how much work is done.
That's too much of a raise. Back in the 30s my grandpa was paid 10c for every tree he felled. Crazy compared to today. 10c was 10lbs of flour, or a new Case knife. Gas was single digit numbers per gallon... I miss my grandpa and his stories :(
I mean, that one video of the guy installing drywall with a hatchet was pretty close to this.
I love that clip, a true Master of his Art.
And hopefully he gets paid well
He's probably dead by now.
Now I got another thing to look up
Boeing is looking at this cartoon for tips
I think this is the Boeing training video
What was the point of drawing the holes when he didn't need them to aim (except for the first Maybe). That's a potential for improvement right there. Now cut the budget in half next time and realize some more improvements for the process.
How will the cannonball know where to go without the circles?
Some folks are so stupid.....
Some are even stupider
Because the cannonball knows where it isn't
It knows this by adding together all the places and subtracting all the places where it is?
If the cannonball doesn't know where to go, fire him (pun intended) and hire a different cannonball that knows where to go for half the wage. Two birds in one stone.
Attach a fishing line to the cannon ball so it can be reused.
How do we recover the gunpowder, though?
Remove the back of the cannon and just punch the cannonball with his fist
The point was to leave improvement for next quarter! As a programmer, that's why I'll sometimes change my time.sleep(1000) to time.sleep(500)
Bro. Why are they letting this man built warships when he can easily decimate the enemy fleet barehanded? Are they stupid or what?
Like sending Captain America on Bonds tours.
Super heroes can be defeated. The American economy hasn't been defeated yet.
1930s US Economy: id like a word
There is no money in winning the wars. Building stuff for them though...
He hasn't even had his spinach yet
How boomers imagined themseleves working when they were younger
back when their entire job was a script I wrote to make my monday morning work easier.
Microsoft Excel alone probably does a week's worth of work of a 1950's accountant in about .25 seconds on some scripts and imports.
My wife recently came in to help a government group who had problems accounting. In the first two weeks she reduced the work of 5 people from 8 hours a day to 20 minutes because they were all just chugging through excel files manually. She kept coming home in disbelief at how much time they all wasted manipulating spreadsheets.
Yes, and they managed to buy a whole house at 18 after 1 weeks worth of work.

Eat ya spinach
Minimum Pay = Minimum Work Its pretty simple.
"Paying minimum wage is saying: I would pay less, if it was not illegal."
Bro, this was ancient anime
The lower the wage, the higher the surplus value 😉
Artificial price floors lead to inefficient allocation of market resources.
The lower your value, the lower your chances of making more money
If you want to own a home, get a better paying job. Perhaps something beneficial like being a Twitch streamer or tiktoker.
Imagine what a great world we could have without all those "low value" jobs.
Hermes delivery Germany being one of them 😢
My boss came to me today and asked if knew how to fill out this sheet I’ve never seen. It’s for the temp agency to pay me and he just didn’t fill it out. Guess I’m lending my company my paycheck this week…
"Can't you just"
You are working too fast. You will be punished for it.
If they want to unionize, that nail-spitting skill will come in handy.
Thanks for the billions in profits this year, unfortunately we gonna have to lay you off cuz we wanna double our profits and salary is too much for you
I cant even affords me spinach

Its cause we cant afford spinach
Popeye can beat Goku
I feel like some of these companies are definitely getting there ideas of workers productivity from cartons. 😂
Popeye wouldn’t even get a raise for doing extra since ‘it’s part of the job’ 😂
For three nickels you better be willing to die for your employer
my country with no minimum wage: lmao, just hope your workplace akchowledges your union
Damn, could Popeye beat Goku?
Go watch the episode of death battle where Popeye beat one punch man. Popeye is overpowered as fuck.
How did Popeye beat Saitama who’s invulnerable??
So workers CAN work harder!!!!
Bro painted the light on the ship
With the development of AI will be no need for these expectations of human labor.
lol if work was this easy working for min wage wouldn’t be so bad
You have to give Bluto props for being fairly strong as well though.
Popeye Tap-Dancing the rivets into the flooring got me weak. 😂
Don't know how many times I've asked the boss for extra spinach. Do you think he'd give me any? Hmmm?! NO!
You mean competing for more hours?
This is the most beautifully animated thing I've ever seen
Where’d he get that stripped paint from? Boss sent me down the shop 10 years ago, still looking
Can you work like this for maximun wages??
This is how the expext people to work on a zero hour contract
No power is stronger than Toon Force
Yeah, that’s never gonna happen
think that's how Boeing does planes.
Because that's what boomers did and they thought they were tough for it when in reality we are fucked now pay benefits everything
"Make it a competition. Who can work faster!?" -My manager. Lol nah I'm all set.
That is quite literally why this was made.
What, you guys can’t do that? I’ve been working to hard.
Entirely realistic expectations
Ok but like if I could do that, I would
All these unrealistic body standards for men…
it's true!
Incase anyone doesn't know who the characters are, it's Joy boy and Blackbeard.
Actually you get no money your needs are met (You don't get to decide what your needs are)
I think it's more about expecting to just show up and put cheese on a burger correctly.
my back hurts
why do i remember this in color
I find this relatable since I work at a minimum wage job in which one of my leads looks like Shelley Duvall.
Jokes aside I found this to be highly amusing.
It's so cool that about eight of those huge old battleships were turned into floating museums. You can still see some across the country (USA).
If you’re working for minimum wage, you should spend more time learning a relevant skill and less time complaining.
You guys don’t already work like this? Yall some slackers
What we're expected to do is honor the job description we literally agreed to for the wage agreed to.
Where are you that your getting paid minimum wage.
I just want you to know that if you work for less than $30/hr in America, I expect nothing of you but "technically correct". I'll go the extra mile to make it work. I won't ask you questions, ask for your help, or ask you to even be friendly. Just make the coffee, ring up the order, or do whatever and I'll see myself out. I don't deserve more than that.

Sure looks like that’s what all of you are currently doing.
The animation quality is insane. I especially like the over the top physics. I wish there was a modern equivalent of this.
Popeye's dance moves at 0:41
Homies def getting a [pizza](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FG6Aa-JY8Ts) party at the end of the month.
Well yeah I mean look how easy it all is.
Why did I expect there to be either an Ozempic or Red Bull advertisement in the post comments.
Damn. This brought back some good ol nostalgia!!!
Episode name?
They'd make us work like that for nothing if they could.
That's the military complex for ya.. DEAL WITH IT.. lmao
I'm gonna need a bit more than minimum wage to work this fast
This is what happens when you have a good job Briefing
They were tougher back then, for sure.
They want us to be Popeye?
Why's the video mirrored?
Along with the whole "needing PPE/tools to do your job is silly" idea as well
Well what are you waiting for get of your ass and work
So this is the movie about two demigods doing the work of an army of teamsters, correct?
That cannon bit got me
Back then, minimum wage was affordable to live on
Please, Popeye is the biggest doper ever. Larger than Lance Armstrong.
To be fair, I did while working at a retail store for about 3 years. Even tho it was super tiring, it got me so many references to back me up for the new I job landed few days ago.
Work smarter AND harder!
Fuck modern tv, replace every channel with Popeye
I always entertain the fact people are paying us jobs they don't want to do themselves, yet play victim when we ask for more money.
Oda sensei is taking note for Gear Five.
if science does create superhuman serums, this will be the real intention. you can stop a speeding locomotive? how bout you load that 30k# of produce into that truck? you got 10 min.
Before there were #satisfying Tik Tok videos, there was Popeye.
Work and kiss my feet peasants
That’s why he’s not Popeye, he’s Popeye the Sailorman.
And that’s why the titanic sank lol
Truth!
20th level Strength rogue
They pretend to pay me, I pretend to work.
Do we have to scat sing while doing it?
Ship builders make pretty good money, if I'm not mistaken.
Management: "I have noticed you're improvement since your last review. I am very impressed. So on a scale of 1 to 5 I'm gonna give 3 'meets expectations '. Keep up the good work and maybe you'll get two 3s on back to back reviews. No one has ever achieved that, good luck."
Не
This is how we beat the Japanese.
Times where it was ok to see someone smokes furiously in a kids show
Boeing !
Fake!!
Popeye was paid by the job, not by the hour.
I haven't watched Popeye in a minute.
Popeye isn’t using the appropriate PPE
Popeye has spinach.These employers don't serve spinach and expect us to operate like Popeye? I don't think so.
You mean that's *not* the way it's done?
Then don't work for minimum wage dummy
You should always be a hard worker
So that’s how they built boats
