Is it me or are Out-Of-Office messages incredibly boring? Well, at least they were until this guy made his and it’s now going viral online.

It’s always a let down when you e-mail a co-worker needing their assistance and you immediately get an Out-Of-Office message in your inbox from them. Usually, they’ll simply say they’ll be away and maybe give you people to contact instead while they’re away. Most of the time, they won’t even use the phrase Out-Of-Office, choosing to save time with an easy “OOO.” However, this guy might have just changed things for the better.

This Guy Has The Best Out-Of-Office Message Ever

We need to start doing this. This would be so funny for anyone reaching you while you’re on vacation to receive. Often, people in the workplace don’t care about your vacation. Even if they know you’re out, they’ll still reach out requesting something. It’s crazy how so many people can be expected to work while on vacation. This viral video is able to poke some fun at that.

According to NDTV, the man behind the clever Out-Of-Office message is Joshua Kessel. What did he do? He made a video that he would attach to his Out-Of-Office message to give quality details to his leave and help instruct what people looking for him can do. It’s brilliant. You can definitely expect to see more people doing this. However, if you’re going to do it, make sure your workplace is cool with it. Some people might not appreciate the creativity or humor. Trust me, I’ve been there. Some workplaces can be super uptight, even about fun things like this that can increase office morale.

The video was shared by Butter Insurance, which is a travel insurance company. That’s what really helped make the video grow and go viral. I think Joshua works in marketing for this company, which makes it all even better. Good on him. In the video, a person clicks on Joshua’s email that has a video attachment and it plays the video. That’s when the greatness begins. Seriously, this could be (and should be) a game changer. Check out the viral video shared by @joshfrommarketing on TikTok below!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

6 Songs To Immediately End The Party According To Lisa Way

It is no secret that Lisa Way has a party past. Her occasional stories have become a thing of legend on the show!

As difficult as it is to believe now, she even once owned her own karaoke machine. Our Lisa of today, however, still enjoys a gathering, but she has her limits. And, if the party happened to be taking place at her house, she has we way to let everybody know that it’s time to go.

6 Songs To Immediately End The Party According To Lisa Way

Throughout the history of Dave & Chuck The Freak, Lisa has made several references to certain songs that she will put on at her parties in an effort to make her guests want to leave on their own.

I think we’ve all been there. It’s getting late, you’re getting tired, and the party is not dying down. What do you do? You could join in! Get your sleep another time. Additionally, you could turn off the music and tell everyone to “go home!” However, that won’t make you the most popular friend at the party. They will certainly be talking about you afterwards. You can’t do that. It’s not an option.

What you can do? Pretend to go along with it, while secretly sabotaging your own party. That’s right, it requires some self-sabotage. You get an awful playlist going that will make them want to leave. It’s the perfect idea. Can’t you just see Lisa executing this at a party? It’s a brilliant plan.

Right here, right now, for the first time ever, Lisa is revealing some of her go to party ending songs! Would any of these make you want to bail on a party? Check out the list of party ending songs below! Hopefully, you’ll stick around until the end. We don’t want the songs to be so bad that even the list makes you want to go home!

  • Kenny G - "Songbird"

    Wow. If this song comes on during the party, it’s definitely time to grab your coat. The party is over. There’s nothing left to see here. Great pick by Lisa.

  • Beach Boys - "Barbara Ann"

    No matter which version you prefer, this should get the job done. Nobody will want to stick around much longer once this starts playing. It’s a shame because The Beach Boys have many songs that would be great for parties. However, not this one!

  • Chicago - "You're The Inspiration"

    Just because there are some people at a party in the music video doesn’t mean your party is going to dig the song. Somehow, guests in the video didn’t leave immediately. Hopefully, things will go differently for you. Personally, I’m getting out of there if I hear this. I guess the same goes for pretty much any Chicago song, actually.

  • 4 Non Blondes - "What's Up?"

    If all goes right, your guests will be asking, “what’s going on?” when 4 Non Blondes come on. Sure, it’s a great road trip song. Maybe a good pick for the girls. However, the party in general does not want to hear this. It will upset them and they will leave. Just as you planned.

  • Simon And Garfunkel - "The Sound Of Silence"

    There are many different versions of this song out there. None of them should be played at a party. That is…unless you want your guests to leave. Which we do! So, play it loud and proud! Maybe even play it twice in case anyone misses any part of the song. Yup, that will do the trick.

  • Crash Test Dummies - "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm"

    Oh, man. This would hurt to hear at a party. Actually, it could be dangerous how fast they all start running for the door. You’re going to want to make sure you’re somewhere safe and secure. They are going to leave, and they are going to leave aggressively. It will be like your home is Walmart on Black Friday. Only instead of trying to enter, they’re racing to leave.
