Spain's newly appointed Minister for Digital Transformation pours water directly into the stand's cup holder
Much more wholesome that I imagined from the title lol, we all have moments like that. He played it off well
Man I wish I could play mishaps off this gracefully tbh
This happened to me once. I was in class, trusted a fart because I was in the corner, it came out very loudly and I shit my pants. Everyone turned to look at me, so I said...
"Sorry guys, I guess we don't have to make brownies in Home Economics today, right?"
Everyone in class started laughing and a few people slapped my back in congratulations at such a witty comment.
...then I fell out of bed and woke up, and also realized I had shit my pajamas while sleeping.
At least you didn't dream of a pogo stick
Creepy
I know right? I had flash backs of daymares from YouTube just reading your post 😉 There's one where the guy is on a Pogo Stick on a full size trampoline! (I am not submitting the link out of respect)
What in the world are you talking about
What a ride bro. Thx for the laugh!
If I had a nickel for every time I've shit myself in my sleep, I'd have enough money to actually see a doctor for it.
I think you need some more fiber and less alcohol in your life if you're shitting the bed that much
😅😂🤣
I was about to tag this as "That Happened 🙄" lol
Well, at least you didnt shit your pants in class
That was a different day
Your pajamas' name? Albert Einstein.
Never EVER trust a fart when you’re sleeping
Had me in the first half
So close to ending well
Lmao
What a story, bro.
In Ontario one time our Premiere Doug Ford was talking an a bee flew in his mouth and he swallowed it. I hate that man but holy hell he played it off well.
when youre coked out everything is cool baby
that happened to me once, but with a fly. it was almost 30 years ago and I still feel disgusted and kinda violated.
His brother playing off smoking crack was equally good when he was mayor of Toronto 😂

For me, it depends entirely on my mood. I could play shit like that off with a laugh if everything else hadn't gone wrong that day. However, there is a wraparound effect where it becomes funny again.
It's hard to remember at the time it happens because you are embarrassed but everyone does dumb shit not thinking, and everyone can feel for you when you do it. Just leaning into it with a little self deprecating humor will generally end with an overall positive response.
He's laughing at his own nervous jokes too:
Realizes he's pouring it on the cup holder
"Oh wait, this isn't it"
grabs glass
"I found it too complex"
starts laughing while pouring water on the actual glass
"Now I have a problem"
laughs again as he stops pouring water
it takes a lot of strength to admit you have a drinking problem
You think that's a drinking problem? Surely you can't be serious.
ahh thanks for translating
At first I’m like “how dumb”.. then i saw the glass he pulled out and was like “Yah I get it, I’d have done that as well”.
Why is everything see-through? Next I'll bump into Wonder Woman's airplane exiting the podium.
Looks like Spain's ministry for digital transformation values transparency
Cupfefe
Clearly a good sport. A politician who is not full of himself is good to find.
Good thing hes Spanish and not American or British.
We'd have 1000 op eds about how he's actually functionally incompetent and has the brain of a toddler. With some not so subtle ableism thrown in for good measure.
I see you don’t follow Spanish politics.
It wouldve been a perfect opportunity for an extra long crazy straw
Happy Cake Day!
Happy cake day

Honest silly mistake. 😜. Yes, he's human.
I'd ask for a straw 😊
Just lift the podium up to your lips.
That would have some real "I Think You Should Leave" vibe to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwdYUIQzu-o
I see Tim Robinson I upvote. Man I really hope this series won't ever stop
The zipline skit from season 3 is so fucking funny, I can't get over it.
haha i agree! For the people who haven't seen it!
Shut up, Mike!
Ah, the technique pioneered by Sarah Huckabee Sanders. 👀
A really long one
I'd drink like a cat, like nothing happened.
I just imagine Trump doing this and the complete and opposite reaction we would get. It's refreshing to see people laugh at their mistakes instead of lying/blaming others.
He would try to fire someone for not having a long enough straw available for him to drink from the cup holder
Trump would have tried to convince everyone that he'd meant to do it.
His next video would have the podium design drawings in the background with "built-in cup you can pour water right into" sharpied in.
I just imagine Biden doing this and the complete and opposite reaction we would get. It's refreshing to see people laugh at their mistakes instead of lying/blaming others.
Well played. Specially since he is behind a pult about investigating the problems of an aging population
Marko Rubio, punching the air reading this comment.
The minister is good with digital transformation. It's the older tech, like tables and cups, that he has a problem with.
Gotta watch out for that ageing nomics
And this was a table with a cup
He should have picked up the podium and drank out of it.
Just ask for a straw.
Exactly what I thought of. Great ref
He should have immediately started zip lining
That would've been a power move ngl
Mm yes it's giving Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer.
Dude is so tuned into the digital world he has no time to grasp reality.
What is reality?

It doesn't matter if drinking never changes. What matters is if we let drinking change us. Every one of us has to find a reason to do this. You don't climb into a cup to be a drinker. You do it because you're drinken.
160bpm psy trance intensifies.
You still think that's water in your cup?
Those videos of cats you see on your iPad, from my understanding.
Zhunangzi once dreamed he was a butterfly, and while he dreamed he believed it fully, he thought as a butterfly thought, he felt as a butterfly would feel, and his memories of being a man seemed like the dream. When he woke, he was a man again, a man remembering a dream of being a butterfly. Maybe reality is a butterfly's dream?
Whatever the truth, I say we enjoy it. Maybe reality is a complex wave function or maybe it's the mind of Brahma or maybe that's a distinction without a difference.
Have fun, be kind, try to get your taxes done early. Reality isn't a big deal.
Reality is that languorous face that stares back at you in the blackness of the screen when the pornhub clip is over
Right? Too analog for his sensibilities.
oh how quaint. a physical container crudely crafted from silica
you think that’s water you’re pouring now?
Laughing at yourself in this situation is probably the best reaction possible.
Really the only appropriate reaction.
Anyone that can laugh at themselves like that: that is a good sign he is probably one of the good ones.
I loved his reaction, its solid.
What made it extra ironic is the title in the background
Aging - nomics
lol
The fact he’s drinking “water” makes it’s a little easier to laugh… still a good guy either way in my boom
what a ridiculously low bar to set for "one of the good ones".
Make literally anything and everything about American politics...
It's just an example of a goofy politician that fucked shit up... It's not necessarily a comment on US politics, unless your inherent bias drives you to reach for that shit.

Pour guy
Water relief he took it well and could laugh at himself
This clip will certainly age too, oh?
Well I tried.
I laughed so hard at this. It's so terrible it ends up being good
You broke the chain but your username kinda checks out so we’ll allow it.
Crap, it’s my turn. Uhhh… Hi, d-draw me like one of your French girls?
Took me a second, you rascal
I don't get the joke
H20 = age too, oh?
Ohhh
H2O
That's actually amazing lmfao
That's a slippery slope to being under water.
I reread that and finaly got it, i love it now.
Slow clap. You both done…. Well.
never easy to have the entire world witness your drinking problem
At first I didn't notice your spelling, and I was like 'poor guy, why?'
Then I saw the next comment haha and I was like, oh yeah now I see what we're doing.
Mods please close this post, we are done here
The starting point
The starting point, the starting point is not a starting point..
ah this is not..
ok..
it looked too complex…
now I have a problem …
caution with where I put the bottle now…
it’s ok it’s ok
eeh…
it’s ok it’s ok eeh…
Spanish "ah eto... bleh!"
caution with where I put the bottle now…
what does he say here i cant understand it
Mucho cuidao donde pongo la botella ahora
Analog podium. I tackle with those occasionally myself
He had fun with it, good for him
Look, we've got this cup holder, right? Terrific cup holder, the best. And people ask me, they say, 'Why pour water into it?' And I tell them, it's simple, very simple. We're innovating, always innovating. No one thinks to do it, but I did. It's about being the best, doing things differently. We're not just filling cups, we're filling cup holders. It's genius, absolute genius. We're changing the game, folks. Everyone's talking about it. Pouring water in the cup holder? Never been done before. It's a huge, huge advancement. Believe me.
I hate that I read this in his voice
Is there a way we can bring it.. inside the body? by injection? Either through the skin or some other way. Suppose we hit the body with a tremendous amount of water, could that work? I think we should look into that.
Never have I simultaneously loved and hated a comment so much...
That was adorable lol
Not his fault the cupholder is clear and looks just like the cup he pulls out
Agree. The podium is stupid.
He looks like a smart guy.
Donald Trump would have pretended he did it on purpose.
And every trumpie would follow suit and start drinking directly out of the podium.

If this had happened to a Republican senator in the United States, he would have dropped a straw in, refused to answer questions about it, then later told us that he never did it despite demonstrable video proof
then later told us that he never did it
While at the same time tweeting that he did it on purpose to trigger those snowflake dems.
And if this happened to a Democratic Congressman, Fox News would be running 24/7 coverage. They would be calling for 12 investigations and would be asking if that person is suitable for office. Meanwhile nothing is said about George Santos.
Fully extended pinky for H2O. A man of culture.
I don't have to say his name, but he was a former leader of a country. And if it was him making this mistake, he'd pretend he ment to do it and start licking the water like he was a dog - Who am I speaking of?
King Leopold II??
why people gotta bring up Bolsonaro in every thread?
No clue why you coming for my boy John Adams like this, man.
Charlemagne?
Emperor Commodus?
President Benson!
Honestly being able to laugh at his own mistake makes him very likeable
Not a great look when the word "ageing" is plastered everywhere around you. LoL.
Trump would have started complaining about the overcomplicated podium designed by liberal vermin
The fact that he's laughing at himself makes me feel he's probably good for the job lol.
r/crappydesign ? Maybe?
Someone should have handed him a straw.
That’s so wholesome I like it
Ageing
A person that laughs like this can't be that bad.
Atleast here in Germany you can identify far right politician by the fact that they never laughed in their life (except because of Schadenfreude).
Absolutely love that he was able to laugh at himself
Any small giggle nowadays gets a post on CONTAGIOUS LAUGHTER...
He laughed, it made me laugh
it checks out
It made me laugh... as well as some people in the audience..
it was contagious, though. where’s r/contagioussmallgiggle ?!
Sir, I regret to inform you that laughter is not actually a pathogen that is transmissible from person to person.
So... now do they need to tip over the who podium to pour it out?
This seems like the kind of problem that goes away on its own if you leave it alone long enough.
ever spill something in a cupholder in a car?
You can soak it up with a sponge/towel. Or a shop vac can suck it out.
You mean you wait weeks for it to evaporate while using a different cup holder? My old corolla saw some unspeakable abuse...
That's disgusting and also a little relatable.
But honestly even when I'm lazy I just cram a couple paper napkins in there and it'll soak up 90% of any spill
Just get him a straw.
Just lift the entire stand to drink and play it as this was totally on pupose. Maybe throw in a "that glas is a bit on the heavy side" comments afterwards.
Love the way he handles his mistake
that's an honest mistake though or
Give him some slack, he's a software guy, not a hardware guy.
Honest stupid mistake and i immediately trust somebody more who can laugh at themselves for it
The podium is half full.
Gotta love how he's in fact the Minister for Digital Transformation. Can't make that up lol
Wait, they have politicians who can own their mistakes and laugh about it??? This American is in disbelief!
Ok with no context, that's quite funny. Poor guy, probably stressed and nervous.
Relatable tbh
Gotta love someone who will have a good laugh at their own expense
That's vodka
I was really hoping he was grabbing a straw to make it a paradigm of transformative thinking
I like him allready
and he has a sense of humor!! Good man!
He's used to the pop-out cup holder on his PC.
At least he's funny.
Water or vodka?
Seems like the right man for the job
Anyone who can laugh off their own mistakes are typically happy people.
Hey, if you can’t laugh at yourself… love the moment he reaches for the cup and finds it’s actually a cup holder. lol
Here they laugh about it lightly. If Joe Biden did that we wouldn’t hear the end of it 😂
Looks like something I would never do by myself, but would do without fail in front of a crowd
In America this would have turned into 900 memes and filled the 24 hour news cycle for the next 2 weeks
Already creating waste /s
Ageing
He's ageing
“Water.”
I guess the last time he spoke on that podium the glass was already in the holder and he poured it correctly. But this time the Glass wasn't in the holder already.
Vamos bien.
