Do you get it? “May the fourth.” Sounds just like “May the Force.” Like “May the Force be with you.” From Star Wars. May the Fourth be with you. CLASSIC.

May 4th. Perhaps even worse than 3/14. At least on Pi Day you got an outside shot of some chick in the office bringing in pies. Plus Pi Day is a little obscure so not as many people are into. But this May the 4th nonsense brings the Star Wars LOSERS out of the woodwork. Normal Star Wars fans are embarrassed by the Star Wars LOSERS that make this joke. Thats how bad it is. Bad enough to make Star Wars nerds look at fellow Star Wars nerds and go “Man, you’re a fucking loser.” Almost impossible.

Cube Monkeys every subjected to an entire 8 hours of bad jokes and puns. Star Wars themed conferences:

The same people who love Pi Day and April Fools get another chance to run it back with their hilarious jokes:

And listen I understand this comes off as the No Fun Police. What do you care if some Star Wars fans make some corny jokes? Well the problem is twofold – I’m captive to your corny Star Wars jokes. I cant leave. I have to be here. If I was ever in a social setting and someone made a May The Fourth joke I’d immediately be like “Lets get the fuck out of here.” I cant do that and work.

And because I’m captive, and because we’re all miserable, its sad attempts like this to make work fun that somehow make it even worse. Like this is a reminder that the most possible amount of fun I can have while inside these godforsaken walls is laughing at a date on the calendar because it rhymes with a line from a movie. Its just a crappy reminder of how boring this existence is and how unfunny everyone around you is every single day. May the 4th be over as soon as fucking possible because its one more day closer to me leaving this job.
