Ironic that the captain is played by Geoff McGivern, the original Ford Prefect, who railed against the idiocy of marketers in the last episode of the primary phase of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Loving that second (Bauhaus) logo. It's got a certain retro vibe with it that goes so well with the multicultural vibe of London. At least we can all be sure that no one will take offence to the Buddhist peace symbol that is being proudly displayed by the eagle!
Absolutely, and the underlying message of the modern history of that logo is stoutly represented today by the majority of London's young, urban populace!
Sebastian Coe: “It won’t be everybody’s taste immediately but it’s a brand that we genuinely believe can be a hard working brand which builds on pretty much everything we said in Singapore about reaching out and engaging young people.”
The stranded marketers skit hit the nail right on the head. You can expect to see more of this kind of thing in the real world as DIE initiatives infuses people into disciplines, professions and fields that, quite frankly, they have no right being in.
Commonwealth games 2002. I was at the town hall in Manchester when they unveiled the logo. Very similar. Everyone was erm and oh-ing. Check it out they paid good money for that! Yeah, inclusive, people together. It’s balls.
Niall Walsh I think that is indeed Geoffrey McGivern. The irony of Ford Prefect heading a group of marketing idiots surviving a big crash and arguing over the distress sign 😂
i still find it odd that there are laws specifically protecting nazis (one of the most hated *and hate filled* groups in history) from being made fun of
That plane sketch. There really are people out there like that.
I know, who could resist a golf sale?

Love how Miller's character dismisses the idea of the pilot having a conscience as ludicrous, nice dig at the types of people who get into marketing.
Armstrong & Miller should do another series, it would still work!
I'd pay for another crossover with Webb and Mitchell.
although I can't pay much
Who am I kidding? I'd hope it was free and BBC could pay for it.
That Bauhaus joke really got me.
the first one
pretty much how every organization comes up with "NEW" ideas

The eagle flying free with the Buddhist symbol of peace in the Olympic colours. What could be wrong with that?
Bumsexy. The great lost Prince album.
Widmerpool99 MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!
Widmerpool99 Nnnnghhhh!!!
These guys are bloody brilliant.
i love the island sketch XD!!! so truuuueeee
Oh jeez, the last one really got me! :p
I love this sketch
Working in Marketing, this is scarily accurate, you see the types in the plane sketch way too often. Professional bullshitters.
"A little bit Bauhaus" lol
magnetictheory What's especially hilarious is that the Nazis banned the Bauhaus movement. It works on so many levels!
It's Gerard!
That’s so Gerard
I spy Horrible Histories cast members
Jim and Martha!
Shockingly, the Olympics 2012 logo, which cost the uk £400,000, looks suspiciously similar and equally innuendo riddled to the sportsfest 2010 logo!
I think the London Olympics one came first and they were satirising it.
Sebastian Coe: “It won’t be everybody’s taste immediately but it’s a brand that we genuinely believe can be a hard working brand which builds on pretty much everything we said in Singapore about reaching out and engaging young people.”
@@o.b.7217 , on researching it turns out that the Olympics 2012 logo was announced in 2007.
Yeah. That's the fucking joke. Well done.
The London Olympics was quite bum sex really
Your final solution in marketing
We trying to talk with my boss😂😂😂
I bought a GTX750ti earlier this year, now I know.
Wait, did this clip actually predict London's Olympic 2012 logo with Lisa Simpson doing something...inappropriate?! 😂
The 2012 olympic logo was designed and revealed. I think 2007/2008

I almost couldn't watch - previous trauma from long time exposure to a "marketeer" (I'm an engineer)😆
A little bit Bauhaus lol
Look, the last one works for me just fine but if you just perhaps remove the shwaztika?
Where's George Whitebread when you need him, and where's the bloke with the pony tail?
the last one
Just reminds me how much better Mitchell and Webb were at this kind of sketch. Touching Cloth anyone?
Any bet the Chinese have since stole this naming idea from Armstrong and Miller as a slight innovation to their product naming procedure..
Thing is the Nazi Sportsfest logo really would get your attention.
"When the world zigs, zag"
The swastika is the 'wrong' way round.
Is that... Ford Prefect?!

An ironic sketch.
🙋♂️
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
How is it possible the logo sketch happened before the 2012 london olympics and it's basically the same logo?????
The logo was unveiled in 2007, the sketch is definitely making fun of it.
gngngnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, but maybe it's just me...
Ooooh... A Nazi joke. You go to jail for making one in the UK.
in Germany you rightly do. In the UK you don't
No you don't. This show was made in the UK.
Only if it includes a dog, lol.
James actually, it could be deemed hateful, and you could be given a minor sentence.

I don't understand the point of putting up a video when the quality is this bad.
Fucking first world problems, will they ever go away?
Hamarbi Ljungskile depending on where in europe you live, you’ll leave the first world in less than a generation
@@FixedFace Who says I live in Europe? Why would you feel the need to make an ass of yourself?
Hamarbi Ljungskile Because basement Nazis always show themselves. They can't help it.
Fixed Face Found the basement Nazi!
God this is dull.
