This happened to me! I had about 10 minutes extra and the lady pretty much insisted I open a savings account, which would just take a second and only take moving the funds. Next thing I know I'm whisked off to an office in the back and watching the day fly by.
I kept getting credit card offers while I was in debt counselling, by the bank it was with. "I see you're getting clean from heroin, Ma'am, thank you. We've pre-approved you for some heroin, just click here!"
Debenhams do that too. Everytime you buy something, they telll you how lovely the thing you bought is ( no matter how boring it is ) and ask you do you know about their credit card.
HA! When I applied for a credit card (which my bank promised me when I changed branches 3 and a half years ago) I got no fewer than TWO letters of rejection. And no trips to sleepy German towns either! Bastards.
When people cold call you at home ,say ,"i'll just get them", leave the phone on the table for five /ten minutes(Or go for a short walk),that should be enough,to piss them off.
people who have been to Chernobyl seem to quite like it its missing one of main drawbacks most place have locals, theirs still other tourists but you can't have everything
This is weird. I've never had a credit card application take longer than 60 seconds on a website. Usually I'm approved straight away, or occasionally after a short phone call.
i'm surprised the comments here haven't descended into a discussion on Germany in WWII and maybe the Holcaust with the sad but predictable elements of anti-semitism thrown in
Brilliant sketch! Still laughing at "you've been gone 5 years"!! 😂😂😂
If I had a nickel for every time I'd left a bank and ended up in Düsseldorf...
(Okay, it's where I live, but still. Give me your nickels, damnit!)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is there a thriving jazz fusion scene?
Is it nice there? Anything historic to visit?
Haha 🐈🤣
What's it like, there?
Are you sure that’s how you spell Dusseldorf? 😅 Excellent!
"...free weekend to Dusseldorf" "There's nothing there Geoff it's just a german town" LOL
Nice river.
@@2gooddrifters everywhere except Saudi Arabia has got a nice river
Also don't forget the excellent Jazz fusion scene😂
The long marble room is also used in the 'just under two drinks' sketch in Mitchell & Webb
Think I've seen it in a few things, now you mention it...usually police dramas.
Pretty sure it was used in The Death of Stalin too
Nearly died when the sketch ended and a credit card ad started.... Well done algorithm!

Omg
Now it's 6 years later and you're still there.
See--- have they transferred the money yet?
I love these documentaries!
Man, that went a lot deeper than I thought it was going to. 😂
Geez they put some money into that sketch ! Great job.
Classic, reminds me of so many marketing offers!
I hear it has a thriving jazz fusion scene
Stuff of nightmares. I need to get somewhere but I cannot
Yes. I'm so stressed watching this.
brilliant - happened to me at a service station on the way from manchester to london; my very hurried scrawl was so bad it got refused!
Excellent! Now then, guys - who's up for helping me organise a weekend to Dusseldorf for us all? I hear it has a thriving jazz fusion scene . . .
Martin Mitchell And you really have GOT to try the mustard!
Count me in! I just need to sort out my new credit card first...
That was acted so well that I could feel his anxiety.
"we don't just hand them out like sweets"
Oh yes you do.
I kept getting credit card offers while I was in debt counselling, by the bank it was with. "I see you're getting clean from heroin, Ma'am, thank you. We've pre-approved you for some heroin, just click here!"
The scene with the three bankers reminded me of The Prisoner. I am not a number, I am a free man !
Genius sketch 👍
Gerard did well for himself.
crying laughing when the bank guy says about the thriving jazz fusion scheme, nearly died :')
It's true, I once saw the Rippingtons and The Yellowjackets perform there.
* scene
The Aussie guy is Renton Skinner (Angelos Epithemiou)!
Debenhams do that too. Everytime you buy something, they telll you how lovely the thing you bought is ( no matter how boring it is ) and ask you do you know about their credit card.
Not anymore, Smith.
Not anymore...
This is up there with Half-Price Pots. Brilliant.
Yes, similar scenario.
Health and safety hazard that! The self-closing door was an emergency exit!
Dickens would have loved this I think!
this was dark as fuck.
They've really got some TARDIS Tech in this bank
It’s nice to see Gerrard in his early days at JLB credit
and without the tube
This is gold!
Platinum even 😁
I like that after being left at the alter by Geoff, Carol worked hard on herself and managed to do better for herself than if she had married Geoff.
I agree, credit card screws your life.
When you think you have had enough, there'll always be a little ray of hope in it.
It's funny because sometimes credit card applications can take a long time to fill out.
HA! When I applied for a credit card (which my bank promised me when I changed branches 3 and a half years ago) I got no fewer than TWO letters of rejection. And no trips to sleepy German towns either! Bastards.
this is exactly why i, a retail worker, never upsell to customers when im working at the till
I went into Lloyds bank about 10 years ago and this happened to me, the woman just would`nt stop 😕
My man wanted to have a normal life without having previously taken out a credit card, oh my days..
This was hilarious.
Does anywhere know where the long marble room is? it was also used in Mitchell and Webb inebriati, and a lot of other shows. Somewhere in London?
It's in Düsseldorf I believe.
Shades of "Brazil"
She met a man in Brussels, six foot 4 and full of muscle :3
Tucked into her Vegemite sandwich.
Is it just me, or was the Australian guy angelos epithemiou?!
Man, they did him dirty....
I'm getting stressed watching this.
This sketch really stressed me out!
Billy Liar machine gun fantasy scene appropriate.
Why does this seem so freaking familiar?
Is that Dan Renton Skinner (AKA Angelos Epithemiou) at the end?
Ashley Mayes it is well spotted
Painful...simply painful
I MUST GO TO DUSSELDORF
I hear it has a thriving jazz fusion scene.
@@DavidJJames It's just a town in Germany, James.
I think it depends on your bank, your daily limit etc. It may be possible to take out 400 pounds in two transactions.
She’s from Iran.
Comedy sketch written by Kafka!
Some of the cast of horrible histories!!!
Does anybody else see Matthew Perry in that face? 1:05
A bit aye
You can't take out £400 from an ATM.
Nice video clip.
I've never owned a credit card
Those were the days, now the banks cancel your account, without explanation, functionally cancelling you life
I look forward to that sketch!
When people cold call you at home ,say ,"i'll just get them", leave the phone on the table for five /ten minutes(Or go for a short walk),that should be enough,to piss them off.
Chris yes good work, same here.
"Gut Luck."
Düsseldorf? _Seriously?_
Why not give him a ride to Chernobyl while you're at it?!
people who have been to Chernobyl seem to quite like it its missing one of main drawbacks most place have locals, theirs still other tourists but you can't have everything
Don't diss Chernobyl. I've been there, it's amazing.
That guys hair is ridiculous.
Man the exact same thing happened to me at the bank. I just wanted to change my account and this bitch kept pressuring me to apply for a credit card.
Very clever!
@87SaL87 AGREED!!!!!
never had one never want one. the money doesn't exist in the first place.
It's brilliant but just too manic! I couldn't watch it all!
Lol!
Nice
Heres some debt for you
This is too close to the way that banks really operate to be funny.
This is weird. I've never had a credit card application take longer than 60 seconds on a website. Usually I'm approved straight away, or occasionally after a short phone call.
Yes, they're pretty good at spotting cash cows.
Quick question though :who uses tellers to withdraw cash in banks these days? Were all the machines bust? 😉
A cash point probably wouldn't let you take out £400
Quick question though; who says 'tellers' when talking about 'cashiers'? i don't think Arnie ever would
Hasn't he heard of ATMs?
In the UK most current accounts have a £250-£300 daily maximum withdrawal limit at ATMs. He needed £400.....he had to go in.
I had thought that this shit was only in Russia)
why are there no bbc programmes about a black dominated society in 2050?
Sorry I’m not really interested
i'm surprised the comments here haven't descended into a discussion on Germany in WWII and maybe the Holcaust with the sad but predictable elements of anti-semitism thrown in

I'm on my way.......
