What do you think? Funny or offensive?

My opinion...

Mildly funny. Possibly a bit offensive a couple of times for the thin-skinned. Several places it was not particularly accurate, but when you're going for a laugh, sometimes you need a bit of artistic license.

Overall...not bad, not great.

Funny, mostly truthful, matter of fact I am going to share the link with family members, with a few comments, but firing seems a bit much. A reprimand and probation I think would have been more appropriate, but I do not know their terms of employment.

I don't know the terms of employment, either. It was called "derogatory and an embarrassment to the company" by the leadership of the Villages Media Group.

Thought it was cute!! Obviously, The Villages Media Group lacks a sense of humor!!

I agree, mildly funny --- the more this video gets shared around, the happier the video maker will be.

I loved it.............. get over it management.......this is funny stuff.... gotta laugh at yourself, sometimes....

Not too funny. Clearly not balanced. Not sure what his intent was. I didn't find it insulting, but I guess he bit the hand that fed him.

I thought it was good, but, some word choices could have been different, but, not really that bad! Can't do anything any more without the fear of getting fired.

Are you sure he was employed by The Villages Media Group and they fired him? That's not what it says on his Facebook page. It says he is employed by a Senior Living business in Ocala.

It wasn't funny... it wasn't offensive... it wasn't much of anything.
Firing seems a bit severe though. Maybe they figure his somewhat low regard for the people here could eventually be a problem. At least he didn't bring up the STD story.

I thought it was fun to watch. It was not at all offensive to me. While I don't agree with some of his characterizations, it was interesting. If he got fired for that I certainly would not want to work for his employer (or former).

He was actually working for the Villages Media Group??

I found it mildly funny and not very accurate.

Just looks like an ordinary Villager's grandkid having some fun.

I thought it was hilarious. Clearly he has a great sense of humor. Sorry the Villages doesn't have a better sense of humor
