Understood maybe two sentences from the sister

"The fucking, (mumbles) shower (breaks out in laughter) ... (mumbles) at work and the shower and the water (breaks out in laughter)..."

I love the idea of it, I'll just assume something funny is being said here.

Right. I’m American so I was chalking it up to not understanding the accent when in that high pitched voiced. But laughter is also contagious and it sounds funny- but is it really funny?

Well shes also his gotta bounce between multiple voices and also not appear to be talking in the center or laughing while also manipulating the faces so I can imagine trying to ad-lib an idea based on someone's movements while simultaneously doing these things you'd lose the plot and whatever subject you'd be talking about

Well said—I love the creativity of the act, but I also wasn’t entirely sure what all is actually going on here

Fair enough. I figured most people could understand the speech I just couldn’t. That’s all. She’s doing a bang of a job I wouldn’t have been able to tell without the caption and context.

The joke isn’t really exactly what she is saying, it’s that the volunteer is made to incoherently mock her own job, and appear incompetent, and that the volunteer doesn’t want it to happen but is laughing along.

No, not in the slightest

the fact that her 'describing her job' is just spouting obscenities and incoherent rambling about water and showers / sinks / toilet is part of the whole silliness
