In my last post on Funny Teamwork Videos, I found a few videos that might lighten up a team meeting or be good examples of what NOT to do as team members along with a few debriefing questions after each one.
Here are a few more funny videos that I’ve found since then. The first three are from the same duo, Tripp and Tyler, out of Georgia. You might need special permission to use some of these videos in any team meetings, so do your research before using these. (These guys are seriously funny, and I wouldn’t normally use three videos from the same people, but they are great!)
1. A Conference Call in Real Life
Has your team ever hosted a webinar or conference call? See if you can relate to this video, and answer some questions afterward.

1.) Who do I identify with in this video?
2.) What issues does this video address that we need to address?
3.) What are some solutions for the issues discovered?
2. Every Meeting Ever
You know that guy? In that meeting? Yes, that’s the one I’m talking about. Which of these personality styles are you in a meeting?

1.) Who do I identify with in this video?
2.) What issues does this video address that we need to address?

5.) How can different personalities work together to improve meeting times?
3. Email in Real Life
Like or not, email is a part of every day work life. It doesn’t have to be painful, and it can be very productive. Look for issues that you can relate to and figure out how those issues could be addressed productively.
Team process questions:

4. American Airlines Team Building Spoof
Every had one of those way-uncomfortable team building experiences where it seems like only the facilitator is having a good time? (Maybe at your expense?) Here’s a fun video to get you to think about the team building experience.
Debrief Questions:
1.) Share a funny team building story.
2.) What can you relate to in this video?
3.) How can we improve our team building experiences to make them more enjoyable and more effective?
5. Problem Solving with The Big Bang Theory
Where does your team hit roadblocks when you try to come up with solutions? Is it the same obstacle every time? Or are there multiple roadblocks? What alternative solutions can you come up with to help solve these dilemmas?
1.) What issues can we relate with on this video?
2.) What challenges do we have as a team when collaborating?
3.) How can we improve collaboration and make everyone feel a part?
Hope you enjoyed these videos as much as I enjoyed compiling them for you. I would love to hear how you used them with your team and what solutions you came up with to improved certain processes.
