By Bob Marshall 

At this point, you’ve more than likely been inundated with the seemingly endless amount of “Shit that (This Type of Person) Says” videos popping up on YouTube every minute. It’s hard to believe that it’s only been just over a month since the first “Shit that Girls Say” video (itself a ripoff of the “Shit My Dad Says” Twitter feed) sparked this giant meme. So, what do you get when an idea gets so worn out that each new “spin” on it is met with a reflexive groan? Well, you obviously get people in the advertising industry jumping on board.

Above, we have “Shit that Project Managers Say,” a journey through one of the most thankless jobs in advertising. It’s PMs’ duty to keep unrealistic creative concepts in check, while simultaneously being forced to kiss the client’s ass. With these two terrible responsibilities in mind, the desk wine and bathroom sobbing shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, should they?
