A send-up of B-movie thrillers presented in the style of movie trailer.
Employees grow restless as their boss drones on duing a business meeting when they become trapped in an agenda that would not end. One employee checks his watch and insists it "can't be the right time." Another struggles to stay awake. Meanwhile a third employee (dubbed by the announcer as "the world's most annoying co-worker") becomes fixated on his broken pencil. And a fourth begins babbling as his mind goes num. The employees begin to hallucinate and get increasingly panicked and stir crazy as the speaker continues to go on and on.
The faux-film is said to be "from the people who brought you RoboBoss, The Terminated and Downsizing Miss Daisy."
The title is inspired by the 1962 horror film The Brain That Wouldn't Die, and the trailer promotes gimmicks used in the period ("Agend-O-Rama" instead of Psycho-Rama from My World Dies Screaming).
