This is a video series called "Big ruler of small country" -- mock interviews with a guy who is very proud of the fact that he makes ~$500/mo and has achieved the ability to buy soda whenever he wants.

This is a video series lampooning office hustle culture. Starts off with a battle of wits between the boss who wants his employee to work more hours, and the employee who is trying to goof off at work. Gets increasingly shippy between the two characters.
Here's one that captures their schtick: https://rongzhi.tumblr.com/post/688883940224892928/english-added-by-me
