However, at other jobs I've worked over the years, I can't remember even a single black person working there.

Hi and Lois are the whitest of the white breads. The attempt to inject jokes featuring some new black characters is just appalling,as a waiter in a white apron is all the Hi and Lois team can envision. Lois sort of channels Sylvia Plath here in her Bell Jar-style agony over her imbecile husband (the setup punchline was, indeed, as others said, supposed to have demonstrated Hi's ignorance of vichyssoise or gazpacho), but in some ways she breaks the frame of the whole contraption, stepping on the punchline and railing against the whole Hi and Lois universe in which she's imprisoned.

This inanity will, hopefully, drive Lois to suicide and the murder of her whole family. Hi and Lois is as White, elitist, humorless and out of touch as Friends.
