Why it worked
The humor comes from the relatable scenario of corporate meetings combined with the absurd use of highly specific, out-of-place jargon. The deadpan delivery and the colleague's eventual, equally absurd, acceptance of the jargon make it entertaining and shareable. It taps into office humor and the common experience of trying to sound smart or unique in a meeting.
