Workers insist that they are not disgruntled. They are very gruntled.
Meaning of the quote
This quote is saying that workers claim they are not unhappy or upset (disgruntled), but rather they are very happy and satisfied (gruntled). The comedian is making a clever joke by using the opposite of the word "disgruntled" to describe the workers' actual feelings. This shows that sometimes people may say they feel one way, when in reality they feel the opposite.

The funny thing about commercials to me is that many of them now don’t even mention the product until the very end. You don’t really know what the commercial is all about. They’re kind of like little movies, like shorts, and that’s why I think they’re so entertaining.

I think people really appreciate clever commercials, as do I. I think they’re very entertaining. You just have to wade through all the garbage. That’s one of the reasons people watch the Super Bowl. A lot of them watch it to see the commercials and not the actual game.
