Happy Birthday, OB/GYN

About this video

The faculty realize they forgot the OB/GYN’s birthday and scramble to assemble a gift from whatever each specialty has on hand. Flanary uses the rushed effort to poke fun at each character: radiology offers a day of not being bothered, Jonathan offers work-life balance, Ortho offers a heavy kettlebell, and the final bundle mixes a labor medication, a gym gift card, and dilating eye drops. The OB/GYN’s dry reaction underlines how ill-suited the gifts are.

Key takeaways

• Flanary satirizes specialty stereotypes through improvised birthday gifts
• The sketch portrays colleagues as fond of the OB/GYN but clueless about appropriate gifts
• Jonathan’s recurring gift in the sketch is work-life balance itself
