Every industry spawns some "in jokes" and ours is no exception.  I'll start with some video editing jokes since I do a lot of that:

Q:  How many editors does it take to change a light bulb?

A:  Change?   I'm not changing a thing!

Never trust an editor with a sun tan.

Anybody tempted by the dark side, remember AVID spelled backwards is DIVA

Q:  Why did the film editor decide not to make the change the non linear video editing?

A:  He thought it wasn't a reel job.

So, does anybody have any more?   They don't have to be video related...any "Creative" in jokes are welcome!

      Hi

      I will tell you one joke, that is the customer service in India for Adobe. You can get a different answer for the same problem, in the same conversation 5 different ways. Now, they offer 3 month free software in the place of 150-170 us dollars. They also refuse to give me the us contact information

      The best joke I know:

      "We'll fix it in post."

      You may not think it's funny, but every time I hear someone say it to me, I start laughing...

        True story:

        I was on the phone to my health insurance provider (in the USA). Long story short, I am in a long wait queue on hold, listening to their telephone MUZAK.

        What's playing?  I kid you not.  I can't make this stuff up.  "Suicide is Painless"

          Hahaha   Nancy, that's hilarious.


          True story in class, maybe 15 years ago:

          Me: “Press Command plus zero”

          Student: “Which zero—the letter or the number?”

          Me: “     ”

                  Not quite jokes in the traditional sense, but;

                  If you ever hear a programmer refer to someone as 'NSI', it means No Software Installed.

                  And one for anyone who has to solve computer Problems; PEBCAK:

                  Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard

                    When someone complained something was not working and it turns out they didn't follow directions, it was politely referred to as "Pilot Error".
