I used to watch this show religiously but SOMEHOW I must have missed this episode as I have zero memory of this set up! Fantastic stuff from one of the very best double acts this century 😘
You know that the cure for altzheimer could be move valuable than the Garnier brands from L'Oreal. L'Oreal equals about 38 billion in revenue and the Altzheimer pharmaceuticals market equals about 5 billion and the Altzheimer financial burden to society about 1000 billion, though if a cure is published, it could equal one of the highest sold pharmaceuticals in the range of 20 to 60 billion. So the comedy is utterly irrealistic and mediates the wrong impression.
They could literally work anywhere else and change the world but they deliberately work for a man who’s sole purpose is to develop hair care products 😂😂😂
No, that's where the work was- and that's what the board and shareholders want. Billions of tons every year of pointless cosmetic products raking in the cash from hundreds of millions of insecure middle-aged women hoping to look like they're still under 40. It's the market- if these scientists wanted excitement and adventure and really wild things, they should have got Firsts at Cambridge and joined NASA. They didn't, so they're just another type of corporate drudge.
I wonder if they got any legal shit for this sketch? Probably not, because Garnier would have to argue that it's not very close to the truth and they really arent selling watery, ineffective shit to deluded people.
Neil Oliver is Monsieur Garnier. I want lazy racism in a squeezy tube, for the indigenice range, not actual scientifically proven archaeological history.
@@thegingerpowerranger The ‘you,’ wasn’t directed at YOU, just those who may have missed the ‘135 years’ reference and missed the sarcasm. So ‘you’ don’t need to be just Australian. No need to be spiteful. Yes, I am welcome at parties, FYI. I’ll wait for an apology shall I….?
@@Chafflives you must be either autistic or have English as your second language. Either way I can see you find it very difficult in social scenarios and I can understand how difficult your life must be. I'm sorry for how hard you find it to be kind to other people and I am sorry at how lonely your life must be that you spend it being a troll on the Internet. What a sad use of your limited time.
I didn't watch the clip because I've seen it many times already, but I genuinely laughed out loud when I saw the title and heard Mitchell say 'laboratoire' in my head. Had to share that for some reason...
this is unironically how modern capitalism works. Work on cures for malaria and other diseases that plague the populations of poorer third world countries? Nah, no money in that. No, let's have 20 different pharmaceutical companies all pour money into the next level of foot fungus research instead.
To be fair, Monsieur Garnier is right to dismiss this cure for Alzheimer’s. It’s never worked well before. Saffron Burrows found one using sharks and just ended up with incredibly intelligent leviathans who ate everyone. James Franco did the same thing using a chimpanzee as a test case and years later Charlton Heston found out it led to the destruction of human civilisation. So sod off, Robert Webb, or we might just find ourselves being overthrown by marauding, but really manageable, hair
