Mildly amusing. Apart from the obvious satire I'm not sure what the point is apart from belittling an industry she evidently sees as beneath her talent.

increasingdifficulty:
I think the point is "humor". People should give it a try.

And of course it's beneath her talent. The typical stock business shot is, in my opinion, maybe the most ridiculous thing you can do with a camera. It's not hard to make fun of something so incredibly cheesy and unnatural. Game of Thrones is a few steps up from that.  ;)

I did find it a little amusing but got the idea after 30 seconds. It wasn't particularly clever humour, and although a lot of business shots are cheesy, plenty of them are very slick and a fair amount of talent goes into creating them. I've never been interested in shooting business/medical subjects however I'd say these content creators and actors are just as professional as the people on the GOT set. Fame tends to blow things out of proportion.

Poking fun at cheesy stock photos, sure. But I didn't really find this funny.
The bit was longwinded, predictable and kinda boring. It reminded me of an average Red Nose Day sketch.

It could've worked with David Brent, though.
