As more companies use software such as Zoom for interviews and meetings, an increasing number of hilarious technical difficulties have made their way to social media for all the world to see.
This is one of those instances.
On Australian TV channel 9 News Adelaide, interview guest Mark Borlace from Australia’s Royal Automobile Association couldn't turn off his interesting background or the hilarious filter used on his screen.
Eventually Borlace was able to blur it out, but then in a grand show of comedy, a little pizza hat appeared on his head.

At least Borlace had a sense of humor during the ordeal.
“Thanks for your tolerance while I go through this."

As expected, commenters appreciated the hilarity.

Of all the wholesome comments, one stood out as a personal favorite: a random filter should absolutely be required for all interviews!
