incredible payoff here. that person who needs the epipen is dead now though. XD
Yeah, why the hell would you put an Epi-Pen in there?? Ya know, something you need to have handy and quickly accessible in case of an allergic reaction?? Also, please remember that if you use an Epi-Pen, you need to get your ass to the nearest hospital to get checked out because it's a gap stop measure rather than something you use and you're good to go.
Both of these posts I'm adding below have information on how to safely use an Epi-Pen. I'm guessing the video was supposed to be funny and entertaining, and I hope like hell that they aren't actually keeping an Epi-Pen in that thing, but I still think it's a good idea to share safety information about Epi-Pen usage.

I appreciate this but that IS the joke, the joke is that this is a very elaborate and secure location, BUT an epi pen is the LAST thing you want to put in THAT particular "safe location".
All safe stash locations have to balance between accessibility and security. Putting something in your sock drawer means you can get to it fast, but it's difficult to secure; put something in this table and it's secure, but it's difficult to get to fast.
The joke is playing on this tension, and on the phrase "keep this safe" and the spectrum of meanings it could have. The epi-pen is not something that needs to be "kept safe" in this sense, but the person is purposely pretending they don't know that to show off their fancy secret compartment-filled table that they seem to have made. It's a sort of shaggy dog story.

It's still not funny to joke about it like that and especially him being like, oh, I wasn't paying attention when she was talking about it (allergic reactions and the Epi-Pen) because she was talking too much. That's fucked up, but I guess because people want to say it's just a joke, that's fine. It's not, actually, but nice try. Ableism and downplaying potentially life-threatening health issues aren't funny.
Today's piss on the poor take: "I don't think this skit is funny" = "This is not a joke skit."
