      You’re hired, but you’ve been reassigned as the fluffer for the leading man and all of the male actors. Get in there; they’re waiting for you to begin.




    There’s no Union protection here, so it’s take it or leave it.

    Gross!  I do NOT swing that way!  Guess I'll just have to take my talents to another studio.

      It’s not about how you swing, it’s about earning a paycheck!

    Location scout sounds pretty great. Wait, is 'greenskeeper' the person in charge of weed? That could be fun! 
    Animal wrangler is another obvious choice for me. Casting director would be fun, too.

    The guy who finds all the mistakes and corrects them. They don't appear to have one.

    They're the ones that should be canned. I'm the guy who finds their mistakes. (Hey...shouldn't we put a battery in that stage clock?)

      Security! I thought you kicked this guy out once already, so what’s he doing back here in the studio?  Get rid of him! Grrrrrrr.

    Nipple tweaker. Jennifer Lopez actually employed somebody to do this prior to takes for her music videos, to make sure they stood up proudly.
