Why did the meeting break up with the agenda?

It felt like they were just going in circles!

Why This Joke Works

'Going in circles' is the universal frustration of unproductive meetings — but it also literally describes circular motion, which echoes the agenda that never gets anywhere. The metaphor is both critiquing and embodying the problem. Every person who's ever sat in a recurring meeting that accomplishes nothing feels this.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Deliver with the exhausted fatalism of someone who's sat through one too many hour-long meetings about scheduling the next meeting.

Perfect for:

•Before a recurring weekly standup that somehow never accomplishes anything
•During a retrospective where everyone is openly frustrated
•At an office party roasting the company's meeting culture
