We have all been there – wanting a day off so badly that we start brainstorming excuses before even picking up the phone. The moment you wake up, you already know you are not in the mood for work, and
suddenly, your mind starts scrolling through possible “reasons.”
From “fever since morning” to “urgent family emergency,” these classic excuses are practically a rite of passage for every working person. Some people cough a few times before calling, others rehearse their lines like they are about to perform on stage. But one comedy content creator just took this everyday struggle to another level – and the internet can’t stop laughing.

In his viral video, the comedian pretends to be on a call with his boss, claiming that his grandmother is in the hospital. The reality? He is standing right next to an oven, using the beeping sound from the temperature setting as fake hospital monitor noises. The setup, timing, and straight-faced delivery have made it one of the funniest “sick leave” skits on social media, and people online can’t decide whether to laugh or take notes for their next day off.
The caption, “New idea unlocked,” perfectly sums up the humour and creativity behind the skit. Viewers are calling it one of the most relatable and hilarious excuses ever shared online.

One user wrote, “POV: You’re the boss watching this while your “sick” employee is online.” Someone added, “Hope it reaches his boss.
