If you don't work in an office, or you've never been to an office retreat, more specifically, this might not be as hilarious for you as it was for me.
Or maybe it will be, in the way that similarly-themed bits from both the American and English versions of
The Office seem to resonate with non-corporate types, too.
What is it that makes this so funny? Is it the singer's terrifying sincerity? The fact that they've converted U2's "One" - a poignant song about the difficulty of love in the modern era - into a song about a bank merger? For me, this is a perfect-storm of cringeworthiness. It's almost to the point where I wish it had been staged, but no - this is probably happening all around the world in other corporate retreats as we speak, and there is nothing we can do to stop it.
