The hilarious parody shows how the [pop song](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/working-for-the-weekend) has single-handedly destroyed the main character, Jared's life.

Ripping his jeans, dancing the Harvard Baseball team's Call Me Maybe dance and quoting lines from the song as regular phrases in his everyday life, Jared has gone too far deep.
