A short scene from The Office US in which Michael Scott blindly follows his GPS and drives into a lake. The tagline is never trust technology.

HN people link it as a joke about blindly trusting navigation or automated systems.

One of my favorite scenes on TV: ▶ this video The title of the video really ruins it, but it was amazingly funny when I saw it the first time not knowing what to expect :D

> You don't fly the flight director command bars when they are telling you to stay on the ground and you're doing 215 knots. This reminds me of the (in)famous "take a right" sketch from The Office [1]. Granted, that was a TV show and they were "piloting" a car, not a 777. [1] ▶ this video
