New Adult Children Cartoons Review
#1 Another Day, Another Breakdown
Shelby explains her long, chaotic day — only for coworkers to declare they can’t work with her. The irony? None of them want to work either. A perfect nod to how misery loves company.
#2 Safe House Breached
After surviving a horrible day, Shelby declares her home her “safe house.” That is… until her husband reminds her of another family party. The dread is so real it’s funny.
#3 Short-Staffed Shenanigans
When Berle breaks both legs, the staff scramble for solutions. One offers cookies, another offers excuses. It’s a painfully accurate take on understaffed workplaces.
#4 Training Day Blues
Shelby complains about training videos, only to discover the alternative — solving impossible customer problems. Suddenly, “how to lift boxes” doesn’t sound so bad.
#5 Cart Shortage Crisis
When carts run out, a coworker nearly collapses under bottled water. The response? “I can’t get you a cart, but I can call you an ambulance.” Peak dark humor.
#6 Less With Less
Corporate demands staff “do more with less,” leaving employees questioning how they’ll pay bills. The boss’s mantra? Just repeat “less with less.” Brutal and brilliant.
#7 Job Fair Fallout
New hires arrive, but more people quit during orientation. The boss compares inventory to a “white whale,” and we all know Ahab doesn’t win that battle.
#8 Security Questions Gone Wild
When asked standard security questions, a customer spirals into regretting life choices. The comic nails how bureaucracy somehow always feels personal.
#9 Truth Bomb in the Bakery
Shelby gets praised for her bakery job — until Tabby reveals her true weakness: human interaction. Honest, sharp, and awkwardly hilarious.

Shelby gleefully declares her bakery job lets her scream at icing. Honestly? Therapeutic. Finally, a career perk we can respect.
#11 Vaccinated But Still Gross
A customer coughs all over the counter, claiming “It’s fine, I’m vaccinated.” Shelby’s reply? “That doesn’t make it OK!” Relatable retail rage.
#12 Manager Dodgeball
When a furious customer asks for the manager, staff vanish into the back. Survival strategy 101 for retail veterans.
#13 Planes, Trucks, and Empty Shelves
A customer insists products should be stocked because planes and trucks exist. Shelby’s deadpan reply seals it: logistics logic never wins against irrational shoppers.
#14 Essential Worker “Heroes”
Shelby explains she hasn’t had two days off in a row. The customer says essential workers are “heroes.” Shelby’s eye-roll could power a city.
#15 People Are the Problem
A coworker admits she hates people, but likes individuals. The punchline? “They turn into people.” The most painfully true workplace observation ever.
#16 Bakery Wars
A customer notices staff turnover, only to learn workers fight over who has to serve him. The sarcastic “I lost” reply? Comedy gold.
#17 Funky Cake Disaster
A cake mishap leads to chaos when “Happy Birthday Bob” turns into “Let’s Get Funky.” Honestly, best bakery fail ever.
#18 Ladder Guilt
Todd feels guilty about a coworker’s ladder fall. The trauma is real, but the deadpan humor about safety culture hits just as hard.
#19 Price Rage Muffins
A customer argues over muffin prices — punishing staff for being nice. Shelby sums it up: “It’s part of the job description.” Ouch.
#20 Billionaire Logic
