The fact that this is the same joke throughout and yet sustains 15 minutes of material, consistently funny the whole time, is amazing. Bob's the champ. This always makes me smile.
What I love about this video is that it only goes for fifteen minutes, so any existential dread I might have had by thinking that I'd be stuck here watching this for the rest of my life is completely negated.
@@sarabevan3468 No sweetie, the video _only goes_ for fifteen minutes. That's what that's referring to. I feel like that was made pretty clear in my original comment though so maybe you should brush up on your reading comprehension skills before shooting off.
The island is so you can have a holiday at home otherwise known as a Staycation. The island can easily be used as a holiday destination due to its size, and because it's raised you will feel warm.....
It's actually quite refreshing to see an estate agent that knows this much about a property they're trying to sell. I've never come across one this knowledgeable.
Look at all these comments with words! Words, of course, used by William Shakespeare to convey feelings which, I’m sure you’ll agree, actually give this comments section a lovely Elizabethan feeling.

I once had and estate agent tell me that he didn't just sell houses he sold dreams. Then couldn't answer any of my questions about the house build or heating or anything as a matter of fact. Paid door openers
This guy is an absolute genius. And I love his series with Paul Whitehouse , Gone Fishing. Just the sort of programme we need on TV in these dark, shitty days .
@@EmilyGilbeywilbey I watched the sketches years ago, so I often do or have to hold myself back from doing it. 99% of people dont understand. :) Bob's podcast Athletico Mince is pretty funny too. Lots of loony characters.
The video has a great red bar that grows longer and then stops, which in turn transforms the two parallel vertical lines on the left into a triangle. nice.
I love whenever Bob says "cobra". He uses it sparingly but it always pops me. You can also tell Bob probably corpsed when he said "I haven't the foggiest" as it's edited a bit weird but he did it again because he probably loved the idea of saying it. (my head canon anyway haha)

This is spot on. I hate estate agents. "Is there a garage? Are the white goods included? Are pets allowed?" "I don't know. My colleague looks after this property. Can you pay a deposit now as we have 12 people interested. We close in half an hour"
Letting agents are generally the worst, but I've found dealing with solicitors and the actual vendors far more irritating than any estate agent. "Can you answer these queries about the property you own?" "I don't know."
@@johnmartinez7440 tell me about it. Vendor scrawling, ‘Sold as seen’ on every answer on the property information form… 🤦🏻♀️ FFS, it’s not a secondhand wardrobe…
The whole thing is genius, so much detail. Particularly like when they ask where the river goes and he’s so happy to be able to answer -“that way goes all the way that way and that way goes all the way this way” Having also just told them the property is about a 9th of an acre which if they didn’t know is about the same size as kwikfit.
‘I would imagine this would be unique in this cul-de-sac’ 😂 Top quality inane yet high brow sounding sales patter which of course also implies he actually doesn’t know.
There is a play button on the video which comes in handy for watching it and it has sound so you can hear it which is a real feature for those of u wanting to watch and hear the video
When I was viewing houses this was the answer to every question I asked. What council tax bracket is this house in? I don't know. What type of boiler does it have and where is it situated? I don't know. Is the garden shared access with next door? I don't know. One told us they didn't have any viewings available and then called back later asking where we were as they have been waiting for us for ages. We only lived 5 mins away and set off straight away to find they had already gone. The best one was the guy who didn't pretend and just unlocked the door and went for a smoke while you looked around yourself. Turns out he's the friend of a friend and when I bumped into him at a funeral he warned me off buying anything on that estate at all.
little fact about this - they had both the main characters from the 1980's program 'Just Good Friends' as the house viewers. Would have been even better had they had them looking at the same property
I managed to hold onto a job for three years basically doing this. Tip ; always let the seller value the house. And yes there is always six or seven or eight or nine people expressing an interest. Saying “nice feature” and pointing at things also helps
This video has a lovely rectangular shape, which will come in handy when watching it on a screen device.

The answer he gives means he dosnt want to discuss lol
100% lol

But then later he asks what they are looking for. And then agrees with whatever they say. Classic.
