Me at Work Overseeing the Thingamabob

me at work (I oversee the thingamabob)

A man in a blue polo and gloves stands beside a strange homemade mechanical device outdoors, watching as its metal arm and central mechanism move and lift. The joke is that he is “at work” merely supervising an inexplicable thingamabob, poking fun at managers who oversee equipment without appearing to do anything themselves. Mechanical chopping sounds or rhythmic clanks make the absurd machine and his deadpan supervision even funnier as a reaction to pretending to be busy.
