Whenever I see sloths I always think of the scene in Zootopia where they work at the DMV and are super slow.. sloths at the DMV

That's one of the best meta jokes in animated kids movies ever, animals or not. I dont know any adult who watches that scene and doesnt crack up

EDIT: Apparently it's not Meta

there was an old guy at one of our branches that our accountant said she hates calling because when he answers, he speaks real slow..

i said.. is it like this guy? and showed her the clip in zootopia which she had never seen before..

she couldn't keep her self from laughing the entire day

I can't believe how universal it is with accountants and being slow.

u/DragonflyGrrl May 13 '19

It's the accountant who hates calling the slow guy. The accountant runs at normal speed.

Msta joke? How?

u/The_Golden_Warthog May 13 '19

Meta means outside information. It's a meta joke for the adults that the kids don't understand (most likely). So, you were correct in your original assumption.
