The Gov. Dropped $37K On This Hilariously Bad Grad Video And It’s Full Of Memes
What on earth were they thinking? How the hell did this get approved? Who cares.
We are so grateful the Department Of Finance’s ‘Game Changers‘ graduate recruitment video exists because it is perfectly awful and hilarious. Those of us who dare to meme would even go as far as calling it ‘dank’.
Having blown nearly $40K on this beautiful piece of stock-image inspired art, the department decided there wasn’t going to be enough cash left in the kitty to hire proper actors and a script writer.
Instead, they gave real-life staff the call-up to awkwardly interact in cliché office scenes. The poor buggers, despite their best intentions and likely lack of consent, are now the face of a nationwide joke. TheVine thanks you for your sacrifice.

Alas, we feel the APS probably lacks that kinda’ sense of humour and creative gusto. In which case, their faces look something more like this:
The scenes include some of our favourite office scenarios and quotes:
