You're fired! Betty Brant: (Chief, the planetarium party.) Jameson: Oh, right. You're unfired! Get back here! Employees of large companies walk a fine line in sitcoms or sitcom- related shows in which being fired could come at any moment. Our hero may have worked for the business for 1. And heaven help the employee who's railroaded into putting on a Disastrous Demonstration, even if the product on demo is one they'd never even heard of before being shoved on stage. The mistake may not even be work- related. Losing a game while paired with the boss at the company picnic is just as bad as, if not worse than, falling asleep at your desk. Refusing to participate in the boss' latest Zany Scheme (which may or may not be illegal) could also bring the axe, as can refusing to spend personal time babysitting his bratty kids or entertaining his demanding relatives. Or, agreeing to, and then doing a subpar job.). Bosses in the TV world have apparently never heard of such things as wrongful termination or hostile workplace lawsuits (or maybe they have heard of them, but were arrogantly dismissive of them). And neither has the poor fired employee, who will likely spend most of the time dejectedly scanning the want ads while his concerned family looks on instead of planning some kind of legal recourse. Fortunately, a boss who'll fire you for such asinine reasons will also be just as capricious in his hiring, and the fired character often gets their job back anyway, either by the end of the episode or by the start of the next one— making the lack of job security more of a Running Gag than a real threat to their well- being. Named for George Jetson of The Jetsons, who seemed to be fired (and then rehired) on a daily basis by his hot- headed, near- Napoleonic boss, Mr. Spacely. See Ultimate Job Security for the other extreme, in which employees who legitimately should be fired somehow don't get fired, Vetinari Job Security for cases where employees are too indispensable to be fired, and and No Such Thing as H. R. for when nobody seems to be in charge of personnel at all. ![]() See You Have Failed Me for when screwing up gets you terminated with extreme prejudice. Also compare this with New Job as the Plot Demands. Anime and Manga In the infamous filler episodes, Tsunade almost constantly threatens to send Naruto back to the academy. A Running Gag throughout Hayate the Combat Butler is Klaus constantly threatening to fire Hayate if he cannot accomplish any of the variety of Impossible Missions (or regular missions, or pretty much any situation where Hayate's skills are put to the test, no matter how absurdly petty) that come his way. Comic Books Peter Parker and J. Jonah Jameson. Subverted in the first cartoon series. Jameson: Tell him he's fired. Betty Brant: You can't fire him, he's a freelancer. Jameson: Well, put him on the payroll and then fire him. Used in Spider- Man 2 where Peter is fired twice and the film still ends with him employed. In one scene, he is fired and then re- hired within the space of three seconds. In the video game adaptation of that movie, your first interaction with Jameson ends up with you "fired". Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid is a 1982 comedy-mystery film directed by Carl Reiner. Starring Steve Martin and Rachel Ward, the film is both a parody of and an homage to film noir and the pulp detective movies of the 1940s. The. Piosenki. Bilety z kofeiną: Loverboy – Working for the Weekend; Kuksy śmierci: Joe Esposito – You’re the Best; Ser z grilla deluxe: Thompson Twins – Lies; Mordechaj and the Rigbys: Sean Szeles – Sweet Little Baby. After he leaves the office (to get more pictures for the Bugle), Spidey muses that that was "The fifth time J. J.'s fired me this week." And if J. J.'s office is open, you can "talk" to him; one of the randomly- generated responses is "you're fired." It's possible to get this result several times in a row. Monique Noel (born April 28, 1967 in Salem Oregon) is a glamour model and actress. She was chosen as Playboy's Playmate of the Month for May 1989. Her centerfold was photographed by Richard Fegley..

She is an actress and writer, known for Bert Rigby, You're a Fool (1989), My Family (2000) and Resting (2016). Really, JJJ could easily be the poster boy for this trope. The Story The Magnificent Seven (minus 4) Caballeros by Don Rosa opens with Scrooge firing Donald Duck. Scrooge: You're fired! And be back here at work all the more early tomorrow to make up for the time you lost by getting fired today! Huey Dewey or Louie: Poor Unca Donald, Unca Scrooge fires him at least once a week! To elaborate on the above point: The European Donald Duck comics printed in weekly magazines popular in the continent (and elsewhere) has Donald giving the Trope Namer a run for his money at the very least. Comics where one page (or more) is devoted just to Donald getting fired from job after job is not unheard of - due to the Negative Continuity the comics have, there's just nothing stopping poor Donald from either. Working with shining Scrooge's coins to slave- like conditions. Getting one (or multiple) jobs - if one job (2a), he has total success until the end, where it becomes a failure of massive proportions and he is fired as a result - if multiple (2b) it's the rapid- fire firing mentioned above. Having to live with chronic unemployment. Or multiple / all of the above. In the same comic, even. Film Older Than Television: It's hinted that Mr. Wynant may be something of a Mr. Spacely in The Thin Man. Wynant: Tom, show this.. Where are you going? Tom: Home. I'm fired. Wynant: Who fired you? Wynant: Ah, forget it. Will you show this gentleman around? Tom (smiling): Yes. Right this way, sir. Jack Taylor in My Boss Daughter is this kind of boss. In All of Me Edwina tells Roger's boss to fire him simply because She doesn't like him. Subverted in that Roger isn't really fired, his boss just wants to placate the wealthy and megalomaniacal client who's going to die soon anyway. In both the remake of The Nutty Professor and its sequel, Sherman Klump ends up getting fired around the third half of the movie, but gets his job back at the end. In Here Come the Girls, Stanley keeps messing up every play he's in, and he keeps getting thrown out of the troupe. He's begged to come back in order to trap a serial killer, and they try to bribe him, but since he'll just get fired right after it's done, he demands a run- of- the- play contract. Literature In the Tim Dorsey novel When Elves Attack, Jim Davenport has made a career out of inducing this. His consulting firm is regularly hired by companies that want to justify massive unnecessary layoffs of qualified personnel in order to manipulate their stock prices. Then a few weeks later, the companies realize that they can't meet their business obligations after laying off a large portion of their manpower, so hire the same firm to act as a headhunter, at which point Jim rehires all the people he had just sacked. Constantly an issue in the Sano Ichiro series, as Sano fights to maintain his position in the shogun's court. Given fickle nature of the shogun and the schemes of Chancellor Yanagisawa, merely being fired isn't usually an option, though. At best, it's likely exile; at worst, it's execution. So far, Sano has only manged to be demoted once, but he's since made a comeback to his previous position. In the first Artemis Fowl book, Mrs. Fowl orders her son to fire a maid who displeased her. Artemis agrees, and then suggests that they hire Butler's sister Juliet as a replacement. Since Juliet was the maid in question, this results in her being fired and then rehired before she even finds out that she had been fired in the first place. Live Action TV The Dukes of Hazzard: Several times, Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane and/or his deputies, Cletus Hogg and/or Enos Strate, have been fired by Boss Hogg. Rosco's highest- profile firing was in "Robot P. Coltrane," when Rosco who had been Hazzard County's top cop for 2. Duke boys slip from his grasp, but a robot a ROBOT! Dukes. It turned out that was the last straw in a series of his mistakes, as Boss enumerates every minor slip- up or goof his sheriff had made. Of course, Rosco is rehired by episode's end, as the robot shorts out. Enos was let go at least twice, most famously in "Enos Strate to the Top," the pilot for Enos (his own hour- long police dramadey). His departure comes when he stands up to Boss and declares once and for all that he is through harassing the Duke family on his orders. In the 1. 98. 4 episode "The Ransom of Hazzard County," Enos is given a de facto dismissal when Boss loses patience with his honesty (he is demoted to records clerk); however, Enos will play a key role in capturing his successor, who is conspiring with a pair of extortion artists to blow up Hazzard Dam if Boss doesn't pay him $1 million. The Jeffersons: In the early years, Florence seemed to always be walking a tight rope with her boss, George. In the 1. 97. 6 episode "Louise Gets Her Way," George actually follows through with his threat, tired of her sass and eavesdropping on his phone conversations. However, Florence saves her job when, while listening in on another phone conversation, she overhears a potential client of George's confer with his partner .. Alice: Mel constantly threatened to fire his waitresses, especially Flo and Vera; to a far lesser extent, this was true for Alice, as he quickly gained respect (if not grudging) for her. When Mel did follow through with his threats, he always hired them back, since he realized that he needed them more than the vice versa, and without them his business (and life) would be nothing and more than once, this was after Alice reminded Mel of this. In one episode of Silver Spoons, Ed claimed that Grandpa fired him at least twelve times. In the same episode, Grandpa apologizes for eleven of those times, but not the most recent. He's not sorry about that one.). The Brady Bunch. In "How to Succeed in Business?" after Mike and Carol find out that Peter had lost his job as a mechanic at a bike shop, Mike assures his middle son that failure and getting fired are a part of life. He states explicitly, "I've lost jobs" — although he was likely referring more to his company losing contracts for jobs they had bid and clients firing his firm. When it came to clients firing Mike. It is narrowly averted in "Sorry, Right Number," whereby a hard- nosed company executive is about to complete a deal for a lucrative contract when a telephone operator cuts in, asking Mike to pay 1.
