Working Tired, Resting Lonely
Me when I have to work (I’m tired) Me when I get a day off (I’m lonely)
A short video shows a tired-looking man sitting alone in a dark room as the two-panel caption contrasts working while tired with having a day off while lonely. Rupert Holmes’s “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)” plays in the background, making the joke feel wistful and ironically cheerful: even free time is miserable when there is no company. It works as a reaction to the relatable contradiction of being exhausted by work but isolated without it.
