How the Noonies is Like the Dundies [or at least I told my team that]

Too Long; Didn't Read
The Noonies originally started as a play on the Dundies. The Hacker Noon team decided to have a dedicated week to improve the Noonies. To celebrate 25k+ votes in the first week, I'm releasing a video to celebrate 25,000 votes in first week. I impersonated Micheal Scott the first time he mentioned the Dundie (season 2, episode 1), and sent it to the team. The video was released to celebrate a week of voting for Noonies 2.0.

It's a lot of work. But sometimes, you can have fun trying to create inspiration. When the Hacker Noon team started to think about Noonies 2.0, we decided to have a dedicated week where everyone focused on the same thing - improving the Noonies.
So could I pump the team up? I read Shaq wrote his master thesis on how to inspire via humor, and the Noonies did originally start as a play on the Dundies... So I impersonated Micheal Scott the first time he mentioned the Dundies (season 2, episode 1), and sent it to the team. Now, to celebrate 25k+ votes in the first week, I'm releasing that video:
