THIRTY FOUR FOURTEEN

But it doesn't have to be—if you watch Thirty-Four Fourteen, a sublimely ridiculous five-minute movie by those sly, foxy goofs at the Variety Shac (that's Chelsea Peretti, Heather Lawless, Andrea Rosen, and Shonali Bhowmik) while at work, that is. Boycotting Starbucks? Hating the faceless machine that is your boss? Under pressure? Wearing blouses? This film is for you.

And if you like this (and if you've ever worked somewhere, you will), consider Scott Prendergast's equally absurd and initially office-gibberish-tweaking short film The Delicious, of which I am very fond. It, too, is online.

Oh, and what does this have to do with The New Yorker? As with so much in life, happily, it's basically one degree of separation.
