Yes it's like real life, but the timing has to be careful, otherwise the mentioner gets ejected from the meeting and cancelled forever. The knack to getting a silly organisation to delete a project or position statement or itself is "reading the room", so as to time the proposal when most people realise it is silly but haven't dared to defy the consensus. The more annual reviews I attend on /providing trans toilets/building affordable houses/protecting vulnerable/abolishing Evil/Saving The Planet/" the more I get flashbacks to this sketch, which I first saw in my teens.

To any other enthusiasts of putting things on top of other things, you may be interested in a new invention known as the "cat."

I have been putting things on top of other things for years, and by means of pursuing this little passion of mine I have also bought a “cat”. And I really must say that it has been a tremendous success. My model does not only place ITSELF on top of other things without any assistance at all, but also puts dozens and hundreds of things (called “hairs”) on top of the things she had put herself on top of previously. I strongly recommend one of these types for future acquirements. Yours etc. etc.

The potential drawback of the "cat" however, is that while it likes to be put and put itself on top of other things. It also has a tendency to enjoy being IN things or under things. Which I fear is the antithesis of the whole Society.

This sketch has two ridiculous things in it: 1. The silly things people get to 2. The idea that logic could change the ideas of those who have put a lot into it.

1:18 This delivery is fantastic! That proud little smirk at the end 😂

Personally, I think it was a bit rash to simply decide that this whole thing is a bit silly, just because some members maybe didn't have the same sense of dedication and love of traditions as the rest of the Society For Putting Things On Top Of Other Things. But on the other hand, I understand that not everyone has the same options as their circumstances are different, and so they might face unreasonable challenges. So, what I would suggest they should've done, was simply make a merger with the Society For Putting Things Next To Each Other - that way they wouldn't have things out of order just because it's bloody difficult to put puddings on top of pyramids, or jellyfish on top of flagpoles, and thus they could've continued on for a very long time.

Because it had to be on top of other things, silly!

After I retired over 15 years ago I would have nightmares of being in meetings that I couldn't leave, that accomplished nothing and mostly talked about more meetings. I still have them on occasions. The worst part of all of these interminable meetings meant that I would have to work on my own time to actually accomplish the tasks assigned to me. Scream.

@markh.6687

I quit attending meetings, and was told I had to attend. So I told my boss that my attendance was completely unnecessary, since all the decisions had already been made, nobody cared what the staff told management, and I was not going to waste my life in another useless staff meeting, even though I was being paid. Since it was for a 911 Center (999 in the UK) I fully expected to be suspended. Ironically absolutely nothing happened to me, and after a few people found out what I did, they also stopped attending, and ultimately the meetings were cancelled for about 3 years(!)

But, by placing one thing on top of another, have you not just placed some beneath, creating one large conglomerate of a single thing with nothing upon it.... You can have a man. You can have a hat. Once the hat is put a top the man, it instantly becomes a hatted man, which we all can agree would require a thing to be placed on top... Perhaps a button, or a feather, maybe a very tiny pebble... I site the precedent of Yankee Doodle, who was on a pony, under a hat, that had a feather on top and also not,... existing between dimentions neither on top or bellow anything as both macaroni and feather until it's definitely placed by Mr. Doodle.
