The Safest Street in the World

A driver travels along a curving residential road lined with an absurdly large number of orange safety cones, with the cones continuing for nearly the entire 72-second clip. The spoken joke imagines a new worker being told to put out “a few safety cones,” then hilariously overdoing it until the whole street becomes “the safest street in the world.” It works as a reaction to excessive caution, over-preparation, or someone taking simple instructions far too literally.

Going up the street it was Wallie's first day on the job so his boss told him Wallie just put out a few safety cones What do you mean? Fire sale and safety cones I guess. You haven't cleaned up in yet? Oh my gosh. What do you mean? Fire sale and safety cones I guess. Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh, so absurd! Why would you eat somebody's food together? This must be the safest street in the world. Oh my gosh. Oh. Oh.
