unemployability paradox

Even Applebee's won't hire a bartender who hasn't worked somewhere else for at least 2 years. This is an impenetrable unemployability paradox!

Unemployment Television

Definition.

The name given to the hours of tv when no one should be watching, namely 3am.

Obviously the name derives from the fact that anyone with a job or someone who attends school should be asleep and not watching the garbage that permeates the airways at these hours.

An interesting note to make is that during these hours, the likelihood of an error happening with a broadcast signal is infinitely more likely to happen.

First used by Rebeltaxi in his video “Top 10 Worst Animated Songs”
P1: Damn bro u look tired af man
P2: Shit man I stayed up all night watching unemployment television.

P2: 3am tv, when people who have no lives watch tv. Its all shit anyways.

Unemployment Office

A state agency where the unemployed go to get unemployment benefits, under the pretense that they are looking for work.
To go along with the pretense of the unemployed, bureaucrats usually try to get peeps to call the Unemployment Office the opposite of what it is, with euphemisms such as Employment Development Department, in California.
