BP Spills Coffee: A Comic Look at BP Oil Leak Response

20Jun2010 Filed under: Coffee Inspired Fun Author: About Coffee[s] Staff

Although there’s nothing funny about the BP oil spill, but the people trying to “clean up” and “contain” the mess have acted in such a way it’s easy to make fun of them. Such is the case with the “BP spills coffee” video, which has gone viral on the internet. The skit prepared by UCB Comedy takes a look at several things that BP did to try to fix the oil spill, using a coffee spill as a metaphor.

The video starts as a group of executives at “BP” are in a meeting. One spills a cup of coffee and the chaos ensues. Unsure what to do, a woman places her hand in front of the spill which is approaching a laptop. The workers freak out about “The fish” (someone’s sushi lunch) and “my map of Louisiana.” Amid the frenzy someone spills a second cup of coffee, and mass panic ensues. You can see the video here on Youtube.
