Is your internet connection bothering you? Perhaps a tiff with a co-worker, or that rude driver who cut you off and nearly scratched your car?
Do you ever find yourself complaining and whining over the smallest things? Australian comedy sketch group Collective Noun, comprising Zach Mander, Dom Fay and Michael Parente, have just the cure for you, and you are probably not going to like it. The succinct, sharp video (above) addresses the phenomenon of “first world problems”.
The satire takes the form of a parodied infomercial which offers the “secret to happiness” in the form of very specific pills that promise to change your dreary, dull life to technicolour, and come in “a handy travel pack” that you can take everywhere you go.
There’s only one catch – you have to make sure you don’t overdose.
