Armstrong and Miller - Credit Card Application 

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!)

"...free weekend to Dusseldorf" "There's nothing there Geoff it's just a german town" LOL

Nearly died when the sketch ended and a credit card ad started.... Well done algorithm!

The long marble room is also used in the 'just under two drinks' sketch in Mitchell & Webb

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.

"we don't just hand them out like sweets" Oh yes you do.

I hear it has a thriving jazz fusion scene

I hear it has a thriving jazz fusion scene.

Geez they put some money into that sketch ! Great job.

Gerard did well for himself.

I love these documentaries!

crying laughing when the bank guy says about the thriving jazz fusion scheme, nearly died :')

Classic, reminds me of so many marketing offers!

Genius sketch 👍

Health and safety hazard that! The self-closing door was an emergency exit!

Stuff of nightmares. I need to get somewhere but I cannot

Dickens would have loved this I think!

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 . . .

Man, that went a lot deeper than I thought it was going to. 😂

That was acted so well that I could feel his anxiety.

This is up there with Half-Price Pots. Brilliant.

The scene with the three bankers reminded me of The Prisoner. I am not a number, I am a free man !

This is gold! Platinum even 😁

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!

They've really got some TARDIS Tech in this bank

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.

this was dark as fuck.

It’s nice to see Gerrard in his early days at JLB credit

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.

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'm getting stressed watching this.

Shades of "Brazil"

This was hilarious.

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.

She met a man in Brussels, six foot 4 and full of muscle :3

My man wanted to have a normal life without having previously taken out a credit card, oh my days..

This sketch really stressed me out!

Quite Kafkaesque

Painful...simply painful

Nice video clip.

She’s from Iran.

Comedy sketch written by Kafka!

I went into Lloyds bank about 10 years ago and this happened to me, the woman just would`nt stop 😕

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.

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?

Billy Liar machine gun fantasy scene appropriate.

Nice

Very clever!

@87SaL87 AGREED!!!!!

"Gut Luck."

Is it just me, or was the Australian guy angelos epithemiou?!

Is that Dan Renton Skinner (AKA Angelos Epithemiou) at the end?

Does anybody else see Matthew Perry in that face? 1:05

I MUST GO TO DUSSELDORF

I've never owned a credit card

I think it depends on your bank, your daily limit etc. It may be possible to take out 400 pounds in two transactions.

Why does this seem so freaking familiar?

Düsseldorf? _Seriously?_ Why not give him a ride to Chernobyl while you're at it?!

That guys hair is ridiculous.

You can't take out £400 from an ATM.

never had one never want one. the money doesn't exist in the first place.

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.

Heres some debt for you

It's brilliant but just too manic! I couldn't watch it all!

This is too close to the way that banks really operate to be funny.

Those were the days, now the banks cancel your account, without explanation, functionally cancelling you life I look forward to that sketch!

I had thought that this shit was only in Russia)

Hasn't he heard of ATMs?

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.

Quick question though :who uses tellers to withdraw cash in banks these days? Were all the machines bust? 😉

Sorry I’m not really interested

why are there no bbc programmes about a black dominated society in 2050?

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
