I imagine this was George Osbourne when he joined Blackrock for £650k for one day a week.
@Crusty bits in my Skiddy Underpants VERY TRUE. And it goes EXACTLY THE same way in Washington DC too.
Chicken change for BlackRock.
What an investment banker.
Exquisite observational comedy and also incredibly insulting to Blair; couldn't be better!
😂😂😂😂
Some would call tony blair a cuht.
@@user-os7ec4dm8xl do 😅
Absolutely 🤣
I imagine these knowledgeless parasites don't do much more than this.
I swear to god, this is exactly what it was like when i got my first office job after finishing my a levels.
How many backs have you climbed over now?
I believe you. I have never had to work in such a place as I would not put up with this sort of shit.
People who use coffee choices as status.
@@Jlipnicki ah the classists have arrived
@@Jlipnicki You know it's not real, right? I've worked in offices for 20 years across 5 companies, and I've only experienced one that was anything like this, and even then it wasn't close. It's comedy.
I swear to saitan that everything is worse..same knobs..
I remember asking someone on the first day of a new job, just to break the silence, as I was sat at my desk with as yet, nothing to do. I said to the guy at the desk next to me. "What's the most important job in here". He stopped what he was doing, put his pen down and turned to me with a serious and thoughtful look and said "Well, the most important job in here...is to escape a bollocking for as long as possible"!
Life rules lol
I started my first job in 1977. One day I forgot to put my tie on. I got a bollocking from the MD and sent home.
I want to see Paul Whitehouse in a lead role, big film. He's so under rated as an actor.
wolfie498 Johnny Depp said something along the lines of ‘Paul Whitehouse is the best actor”.
Were you born in a barn Tony!?🤣🤣🤣🙂
Check out the film Ghost Stories, it's a great part for him
Paul Whitehouse had a leading role in the brilliant 2017 film The Death of Stalin
@@sulaak oh yeah, great film too 👍
@Gregor McNee I got this reply as I was watching Mortimer and Whitehouse gone fishing. Weird! 😂
This could be it's own entire TV show I swear 😂
What's sad is working in a bank is exactly like that. The most boring snob competition you can ever endure.
And law firms. They all sleep with one another. Slater and gordon are representative of this. Can influence the closing of my linkedin months after I left but not my you tube. Or mouth.
This is making me feel better about not getting internships
If I was on a million a year I'd take a bit abuse and smile at the bank
I didn't think I would ever feel sorry for Tony Blair.
TaxmanFelix - I never could. Even if TC Blair caught an unpleasant disease that meant he would suffer excruciating pain day after day, year after year, I could never feel sorry for him.
@@blitzwing1 I don't see how having the blood of 179 dead British servicemen and women in Iraq, 454 dead in Afghanistan and millions of dead Iraqis on his hands due to involving Britain in a war that was started on a lie makes him the best prime minister we've ever had.
@@MrPacproductions Not defending Blair or his colossal mistake of taking us into the Iraq war (or continuing with privatisation), but far more have died under Tory austerity than did in Afghanistan...
@@andrewmark2783 He made no mistake sending our boys to Iraq all he saw was a fat paycheck so he sent the armed forces to collect it.
I'm not a Tory and I don't support austerity and newsflash Blair is still a murderer
@@MrPacproductions not to mention opening the doors of the country to mass immigration. He's a top wanker.
I loved how Harry and Paul developed from being a decent catchphrase run of the mill sketch show to some of the best observational comics going. I like all their stuff but the later stuff is their best by a mile
I love it when he recaps the coffee orders, in a bid to still try and sound important haha.
That clip sums up your average corporate office in the UK. Full of uncomfortable smirks, impatience and what I like to call 'polite rudeness'. Office smirking is done in a very condescending way. Unfortunately, I've had too many years of experience working with these corporate types.
Ae respect man swear to god if someone was like that to me even if i was the office bitch id slap em in the face 🤣
Very worrying how you've completely missed the point of this sketch.
Was awkward huh
Exactly Bollox ;)
But in this sketch it happens to Tony Blair so that's cool.
Not only is this very funny, the acting is really good, especially Paul Whitehouse!.
I moved from the UK in '98 and have not watched Enfield's "more recent" material. This is absolute gold.
That's a very young Jack Whitehall
Man I cried, literally cried the whole way through this. I wished there was more!
Tony did the same to our country as he did to that pile of mail.
give it a right toss?
Lisbon sellout.
Benefits free for all
Absolutely
Increased its wealth, supported it's health service and negotiated the end of a forty year war with a box of poly pockets?
Polish and English former prime ministers become "bankers", Greek and Italian bankers become "democratic elected prime ministers".
Tony Blair was PM of the UK of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, not just England. England is just a part of the UK.
@@invernessfan3017 Been flying your St George’s cross in Scotland recently? 🤮
@@channelbree What? He's right; Tony Blair was PM of the UK not just England.
@@channelbree bit daft arent ya
Rory Jennings finding tony Blair stuff to do, how times have changed
Sir Michael‘s wordless communication at 3:48 - priceless!
When he takes his jacket off as if he’s still the PM quality
When he leans on the desk!😂
Like a Cabinet meeting.
I've watched this a few times now because it always makes me laugh and cheers me up. I wish they'd do more longer satire sort of stuff like this.
So brilliantly cruel - from boardroom to mailroom in under 8 minutes!
If only Bliar really had been treated like this after he was prised out of office. Instead he gets an open door at the BBC every time he feels the need to impose his ha'penny-worth of unwelcome opinions onto the British public and is treated as if he has something interesting or useful to say. Most British people are smarter than that and view him with the same disdain that the bankers in this sketch do.
There's nothing worse than when you're supporting a good cause, and then Blair comes along and weighs in to ruin it for everyone. This sketch is just fantastic.
I always think..ah Blair..he ran this country once with advantage of time and distance you'll some really observant comment....and I'm f***ing disappointment every time.
When I hear he had a war a year ,I'm like "that was a coincidence"..then he opens his mouth /sigh
We view him with actual hatred, well most of us.
I love the way not that nothing important is said by any of the self appointed important people. Very realistic.
which self important people? You mean those sat around the table?
The executives in the boardroom are typical London career types in my experience.
Proper jobsworths
Wankers..
Dull, arrogant, rude.
When we come to hang them, they'll want to sell us the rope, the money-hungry tightwads.
Everything is so perfect in details!
Comedy genius. Sharp, observational comedy of the very highest order.
Oh, I so wish that this was reality. No-one deserved it more.
In reality he’s paid £1,000,000 to talk for an hour
@@MrHaveaword and that's less than how much he cost the country per hour when he was running it.
Just about summed Blair up!!
Enfield gets both Blair and Thatcher's mannerisms down to a tee.
This was just like my work experience! =( Love this sketch though!
How did I ever miss this. Genius!!
What a random suggestion from UA-cam! Harry Enfield’s Tony Blair handshake is fantastic.
"Were you born in a barn, Tony?". Oh my gosh, brutal.
Boomer catchphrase number 35
As someone who worked in an office this really hits hard how unfriendly an atmosphere it could be.
Oh and the stuff with Blair mirrors him perfectly too lol.
true and true
Yeh well interns are a pain the the ass too
Is that Big Suze in the boardroom? Definitely to posh for Jez.
Even Jack Whitehall is there, isn’t he?
Big Suze is doing well for herself.
The Gorbachevs are coming to dinner. Brilliant.
I always said Blair was wasted as PM
Yeah ~ he wasted all of us !!!
... and many more in Iraq !!!
I miss harry and paul
Were you born in a barn, Tony? 😂😂😂
I feel sorry for anyone who works in a office, any kind of office, soul destroying
Feel sorry for those who like it
I did once - my first job - the backbiting! Worked in retail for the rest of my career - found people much much more friendly and open - strange really
@@stevechristie2569 - i liked it for 37 years but I appreciate your pity
@@marcokite tell me more
Yup. Favouritism and evilness not even masked.
“I love what you did in Iraq by the way” lol
...is that jack whitehall?
+Willo290592 same reaction
Just spent 5 mins googling the show to work out who that was that I recognised! lol
Good spot he's a complete wanker aswell
@@CARLIN4737 yep massive bellend
@@davejohnson3474 Head of Futures market sounds about right.
lol paul looks like hes bout to burst out laughing when he said "would u mind doing a starbucks run" :D
This is one of my favorite H&P sketches.
A delectable medley of comedic splendour
I thought that kid looked awfully Rory-esque!
@@petrolhead1077 haha clocked him straight away, a lot of familiar faces in this sketch
This is really wonderful satire! How many top MPs pick up lucrative jobs for favours they give while they are in power. And the absurdity that they are actually real roles!
I guess the joke being what would happen if one of these politicians actually thought it was a real job.
The pleasure of poking fun at Britain's potential best politician/worst leader is evident as well.
A coffee run is all he's good for.
Good Friday agreement slip your memory?
Target practise more like.
Is that big Suz?
I remember when I tried this for a while. At least I learned one thing what not to do with my life.
@4:58 ahhhh so that’s how Rory Jennings sorts out his football opinions, looking for that “Haaland 15 goals a season” 😂
I worked in the mail room of a market research company in the 80’s- the only thing that kept me sane was meeting my then girlfriend for a quick bunk up in the basement
Ha ha great comment.. I was same.. Worked in a mail room of a solicitors in St Pauls London 1i 1983 and was perfectly happy to be groomed by a 30 yr old when I was 18.. Lasted 3 years 👏👏😀😀
Blimey ..Jack Whitehall ....ageless !
That's Rory from CFC Fan TV playing the IT guy haha what a lad
He later went on to great things...like predicting Haaland to flop!
everywhere you go these days, even on a harry enfield sketch theres Jack Whitehall trying his very best to be the least funny british comedian going, after Russell Howard of course.
Ikr there both terrible
just student humour
Couldn't agree more. Well said.
+Jim Completely agree, am sure he would not have liked any of these modern "Comedians".
He's being a supporting actor in a comedy sketch.
Are Harry and Paul trying to imply that politicians have no useful skills?
Fair.
This is still not as gloriously painful to watch as "The Trial of Tony Blair", where he is in a sane universe and tried for war crimes.
God! I loved every painful moment of that show! They really stuck the knife into Tony Blair.
Big Suze has grown up on us.
Filthy posh sort. The type you would never trust.
Lol. He thinks he's going to the boardroom and ends up with the work experience kid. That would be true justice for this narcissist.
if u want to bring your ipod or gameboy in next week... feel free
I've felt like that whenever I've had a job in an NHS placement.
Great job ! :)
And let's not forget back stabbing and blowing smoke up supposed superiors backsides (if so inclined). It's got little to do with ability and certainly nothing to do with loyalty.
Why is Tony Blair not doing time for war crimes yet?
Coz you poms haven't got any guns or guts.
Link Knight too true. Think of all the Aussie and Kiwi senior politicians that have been tried and convicted. There’s ......erm.......and..........ohh............well.........................oh sh*t, what’s that saying about people in glasshouses?
As a Conservative, I dislike Blair as much as anyone. But, working in the 'industry' Blair is not guilty of war crimes. He was simply given intelligence that stated Iraq had WMDs. The intelligence turned out to be wrong, but he had to make a call. The collective agencies can and are wrong from time to time. Take the whole Trump/Russia thing. Of course in his case, it was higher-ups being led by their partisan balls instead of actual intelligence. It escaped them that Trump's policies were costing Russia billions in oil and gas revenue.
What war crimes?
@@sithlordrj8883 the it was not wrong!!???
"Were you born in a barn Tony?" 🤣
If only he would have just stayed there, getting coffee. We'd all be better off.
Maybe Tony could invade a country on a false premise?
Beats the coffee run, surely?
He did ~ Syria, as a peace-keeper !!!
In that Starbucks, staff thought "lets ruin his day"
I would say this is accurate in terms of the usefulness of Tony Blair to do a job.
This is what it's like working in an office job when you have ADHD
:-(
Some of this is how things were like when I was in a big office and it was sodding work experience week, trying to find them something to do
Craig Thornton Having a work experience with you but management still expecting you to hit your daily targets. That’s how I remember it.
Isn’t that guy in the post room the guy from Chelsea fan TV??
Spot on. A Relic.
Absolutely brilliant...they should do this to the Mayor of London....Mr Kh... Wish someone would
" Hi " epic
I wish the traitor would be treated like that for real.
@@peterpinsent9304 Leading your country into an illegal war on false pretences is treason. Betraying the working class as a Labour PM and selling out to capitalism is treason. How many more examples do you want?
haha i feel like i've been there!
he's quite good a creating hundreds of years of instability, murder and misery...oh and millions of $ nd luxury for himself and his cronies.
I was like Tony starting my first Investment banking job. I thought I was the king joining the firm
Could never stand the stuffiness and hierarchical bullshit of office working. Thank god I work from home now.
The pad bit is excellent cos it's like saying he could only read what was written for him, campbell was the real organ grinder.
Is that a young Rory from the Kickoff? 🤣
Yeah! 😂
Were you born in a barn, Tony?
Bloody hell, there's some hot girls in that office! I'll take Tony's place
Tony'll fight you for them.. he's a bit of a ginger fox: look what he did with Murdoch's wife.
Kirk Lazarus what?
It's now confirmed btw......Tony WAS indeed 'born in a barn'!
Just brilliant
The most hilarious thing isn't the wondeful pronunciation (perfect BTW) it the countenance (perfect) but the fact that Blair is actually by quite a long way the most powerful politician in the Western world, and nobody even knows it.
Dude runs about 47 NGOs and is on the board of nearly every single NGO that he's not officially running, and the handful of others thag remain, he's an "advisor" to.
I'm pretty sure he loves this sketch.
But Blair is still a Cnut.
The boy in the post room , brilliant
The man deserves a Knighthood.
Enfield or Blair?
@@jacksonbow2766 Are they not the same person? He could have fooled me.
@@jacksonbow2766 Enfield.
Funny!
Were you born in a barn Tony? LOL
Genius! ....I can't stop laughing!
I noticed that it's only the mail guy who isn't an a-hole. The receptionist too. I'm on the 3rd run around this.😂
Unfortunately the sad thing is Teflon Tony made millions while over a million Iraqis died
Omg is that Rory Jennings from the Kick Off ahaha
Omg , this was me on placement xD
Good old tony, ask him anything, he's always happy to oblige.
I love this ,what a jeremy hunt
blair...the smiling viper..
Some quite good acting in that little sketch; quite sad in its way too.
Yeah it's sad how much our comedy shows have declined also
I remember doing this... when I was 19 year's old! :O)
Very good!
