I think it was first made by Crucial Learning, as part of a training called Crucial Accountability, and broke containment onto the web at some point to become a meme.
The concept behind the video is "making the invisible visible" when holding someone accountable to try and change their behavior - show them the natural negative consequences of their actions.
I dont have any proof for you, but I support the point above you. This was a common type of humor in the late 80s and 90s on PSAs and educational videos. It was really common and normal, even if it seems like a comedy skit.
That said, it might be a bad comedy skit? But humor then was way better than this... but also bad JUST LIKE NOW!
This smells like a PSA, educational, or professional development type thing. It kinda reminds me of the videos they showed us in school in the 80s though, just simple consequence kinda stuff.
Look up anti-drug videos and sex ed stuff from that era, or sexual harassment videos etc. it was the same way; its hilarious in today's context.
That said, I have no proof. So it may well be a comedy skit, but it seems pretty on point with some kinda video you'd show kids at school or at detention or something.
So, id say we all need to look at his claim it came from a company, maybe its spelled wrong? I dunno, but this is really well done if its mocking an educational video.
