Dustin tries to impress Seb the director at an audition for the Fiery Hawk drinks commercial. As seen on Comic Relief's 'Horne and Corden Get Their Clips Out'.
This is the greatest Actor-Audition parody of all time. After 20 years of Auditioning, this really blindsided me and I lost all my faculties when watching it. These Actors are GREAT. "The the Hawk lands just in front of you, and it's wearing red underpants..."
I was at one of these in Spotlight yesterday. "Look down at the table! Yeah, but we've lost your face now!" and then: "Come in, say hello to your friends, say hello to the lady who comes into the shop, say hello to the child with her. Right, that was OK, but you weren't supposed to speak!"
I watched this on E4 and they had me in stitches with this sketch and the police vomit sketch too, the rest were ok , I just hope they keep it up and not all flat like other shows have in the past
Most ad agencies have a compilation edit of all of the “most humiliating/embarrassing auditions during the year made, and screen it at the Christmas work parties, for the employees entertainment. Fact.
Spot on, and brilliantly executed. The next time I'm made to wait for an hour at Spotlight or the Casting Suite or somewhere for some shitty, buy-out Lithuanian telecoms ad, this will sustain me.
(1/2) That phony thing starts much earlier. Klaus Kinski wrote about acting schools: "What they teach in these acting schools is incredible, hair-raising crap. The Actors Studio in America is supposed to be the worst. There the students learn how to be natural - that is, they flop around, pick their noses, scratch their balls. This bullshit is known as "method acting." How can you "teach" someone to be an actor? How can you teach someone how and what to feel and how to express it?
I really wonder why they let us actors do the whole stuff and even call us to a casting, when they know up right in the front, that we dont fit the role?? thats just a waste of money and time for everyone... this is a bit over the top but totally true.. sadly enough :/
If you don't find this funny, you've obviously never been to a commercial casting. Or you've been to too many. They're AWFUL, you have to do all sorts of stupid shit and you hardly ever get the job and if you do happen to get the job invariably they don't bother paying you for months and JESUS CHRIST I WANT A DRINK!
