You know what they say about a car wreck, where it’s so awful you can’t look away? The Dundies are like a car wreck that you want to look away from but you have to stare at it because your boss is making you.

What it means
Our interpretation.
A humorous complaint using the car-wreck comparison: normally you can't look away from something dreadful, but here the speaker wants to look away and is forced to watch anyway because the boss insists. The comedy is in that obligatory, awkward staring.
