Let's Get a Job is the second section to the second episode of Osomatsu-san.
As the sextuplets are adults they decide to look for work, and they're introduced to a strange job by Iyami.
In the home video releases, it is the episode that starts off the series, due to the removal of the previous episode, Osomatsu-kun Returns!. Even so, it is still labeled as "episode 2" to pay homage to the missing episode before it. This is not the case in the Viz Media dub, however, where it is rebranded as episode 1 to avoid confusion.

Plot[]
The scene starts off with the sextuplets at an employment office where each of them are called up in turn and asked about what kind of job they want; Osomatsu responds that he wants a job were he can be a "human legend", Karamatsu wants a job of "silence and solitude", Choromatsu hands the office worker his agenda of places he wants to work; the worker however, informs him that he's annoying; Ichimatsu doesn't have a preference, and calls himself "unburnable trash", Jyushimatsu waves his arms around, and Todomatsu asks a female worker if she's single.
The next scene has the sextuplets in a bar, drinking beer. Choromatsu complains that since they're adults now, they need to find a job. Osomatsu asks if they want to be the F6 idols again, Choromatsu opposes and says that he'll look for a job again in the afternoon. Ichimatsu then gets up and says that since there's no point in him being here, and he'll go home; the others make fun of his personality for being the reason he can't find a job. Choromatsu then asks Osomatsu on what they'll do next, Osomatsu responds that he'll get sake and Choromatsu yells at him for being stupid.
They then leave the bar with Choromatsu being the drunkest and Ichimatsu passed out. Todomatsu then notices Iyami, and Osomatsu asks him for money, Iyami tells him to stop messing around, and then the sextuplets begin to beat up his van. Iyami then yells for them to stop, and says that because they were spoiled when they were little, they've grown up to be monsters. Choromatsu asks what was he doing with his car. Iyami tells the sextuplets that he has work and doesn't have all the time in the world and tells them that he works as a recruiter and is looking for people who can do the job; the sextuplets accept and Iyami tells them to think nothing of it....
Iyami and the sextuplets arrive at a place called the Black Factory, where everything is black, Iyami then gives the bothers their instructions, but they can't read it since the paper is black as well. Todomatsu then tells his brothers that these kinds of factories only have one bathroom that's extremely filthy and never gets cleaned, scaring some of his brothers. As Choromatsu wonders what to do next, he notices a man standing on top of the factory, and asks the man what kind of product the factory makes; the man responds saying that he won't say what they make and that it's something illegal and demands the sextuplets to get to work right away.
The next scene has the sextuplets in uniform, working on a assembly line, forming the head of some product. Iyami calls the sextuplets stupid and tells Dekapan that they'll be able to get rich. After an extremely long, long time in the factory, Iyami tells them that they will stop working for the day and makes them chant "Become an adult!" Afterwards they are sent off to bed.
Later that night, Osomatsu wakes up and says that Iyami tricked them. The sextuplets then do a midnight run and successfully escape the factory. The product being made in the factory is then revealed to be a multitude of Dayon robots.
After the job at the factory, the sextuplets realize what was really important to them and they can just do a little at a time. Osomatsu is seen working at a restaurant and asks his boss to use the bathroom. Instead of using the bathroom, Osomatsu goes out to the back lot and swaps out his place with Karamatsu, since the sextuplets are identical. Osomatsu then says, "Because the six of us are one." The episode then ends with Choromatsu saying: "This is a Scam!"

Trivia[]
- Due to the removal of episode 1, the sextuplet's re-enactment of F6 may not make sense to new viewers.
- As far as the Viz Media English dub goes, this episode and an unspecified amount of other ones were originally dubbed in 2018 through early 2019. Due to the ADR Director and scriptwriter Patrick Seitz leaving the dub to work on another project, it was decided to scrap and redub all the episodes that he had worked on, allowing for consistency with what his replacement Christopher Bevins wrote and directed in episodes after his departure. This caused further delays in the production of the dub of season 1, until all of the episodes were finally released on home video in March 2021.
Errors[]
- After the sextuplets finish hitting Iyami's car, the order they stand in (from right to left) is Jyushimatsu, Karamatsu, Choromatsu, Todomatsu and Ichimatsu, when the scene is mirrored the position changed, and the new order (left to right) is Choromatsu, Jyushimatsu, Ichimatsu, Todomatsu, and finally, Karamatsu. Along with this, Choromatsu is suddenly seen holding a pan, and Karamatsu holding a mace, despite neither of them using these weapons to damage the car.
