Chris Kohler's newspaper-holding businessman wants an explanation for his financial losses. His bespectacled colleague offers something considerably less useful: a reminder that they're living through history.
Kohler plays both men in "Consequential set of romantic choices. #nvidia #finance", a staged comedy sketch about executive conduct and panic around Nvidia, rather than a news bulletin. The exchange escalates from an anxious discussion of shares into a grand comparison with Helen of Troy. One character sees historical significance; the other would very much like the conversation to end.
The Short passed 1.2 million views before its first day was over, running at roughly eight times Kohler's usual first-day pace. The comment section was also several times busier than usual.
For the 9News finance editor, it's another Nvidia-themed desk conversation after "Delicious treats. #finance #nvidia", which offered a doughnut as an answer to investment anxiety, as we reported here. This time, there's no snack to soften the exchange. Just one man's exhausted request: "Please stop talking about this now."
