A little note of editing trickery; When Tisha scowls at 1:35, that is actually two shots mixed together, the head is separate from the torso!
That's......not zombielike at all.
I mean unemployable.....
American comedy: people behaving bizarrely in a normal situation. British comedy: people behaving normal in a bizarre situation.
I thought this was supposed to be post-apocalyptic. This is just a normal day at the job centre.
Preach
being honest, i was expecting a crazy dramatic zombie killing scene but him running away is probably funnier
Dramatic zombie killing hunter scare amazing scene
That interviewer has obviously been trained in the real World. She had the perfect level of false sympathy and bureaucratic deafness to all explanations and excuses. She could go to the top in any Government Social Working establishment. In fact she was, to quote Mary Poppins, "Practically perfect in every way." This film was a satirical little gem. It appealed to my very sick sense of humour at all levels. Full marks to the actor's and crew.
Sad day for Freedom something so funny and stupid is really the truth. This video is very well done and I hope people get it if not the joke is on them
Agreed!!! I have already watched it a couple of times!!
Its nice to see after the apocalypse they where able to improve the job centre experience
Incase you have never had to go to the jobcentre before, this is surprisingly accurate
Midget and FriendsTM it was based on real experience so we are glad that came across
@@Ardvale Keep up the good work :), was a great watch
“Sit tight for two weeks.”
Annnd here we are. Life imitates art.
The expressions here are just excellent...
I remember having to "sign on" at the job centre, this is pretty much what it's like.
I thought this was going to be Post-Apocalyptic, not real life on Universal Credit.
Fun Fact, this entire video was shot in Sheffield and no props or scenery alterations were used.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
dont be daft. the people look to normal to be from yorkshire
Nice comment.
That actor's eyes capture how I'm feeling these days. I thought he was going to slide over the desk and take over her job! Thanks for the comedic relief :)
Had benefits massively sanctioned after missing an appointment for a funeral - I called ahead days before. This was depressingly accurate.
Same situation. A mix up with the appointment date and that was that.
This obviously fell through a wormhole from 2021.
My first job centre appointment after Coronavirus
I think we all know why this video is being recommended in 2020. . .
figures that when civilization falls apart, bureaucracies will still exist and likely thrive
wow we love a documentary of 2020 britain
Really? So you have Trump supporters there as well? Sorry about that.
@@pakde8002 I mean, I'm sure we do but we have our own bunch of conservatives too
@@kitreadsbooks7718 So how is Boris working out?
@@littlemrpinkness295 just bloody brilliant :(
The idea and script was in development for over 2 years. It's weird how relevant it remained for all this time.
I thought this was supposed to be a post apocalyptic film. The Job centre scenes just seem like a normal every day appointment at the job centre.
Um, did you miss the “woman turns into zombie” part?
@@allisond.46 no they probably didn't miss that bit, accurate lol
@@allisond.46 I thought they were already zomb... er... unemployables to begin with.
I just loved this actor with how he portayed the character's expressions and actions, especially in how he took off like a bat out of Hell😅🤣!
"I'm afraid we're sanctioning you, as you haven't filled the quota for applications."
"How am I meant to apply to 7 new job openings every week when the majority of business owners are dead?"
"Yeah, times are tough. You should have tried harder though."
sooo this is how the world will look in April
no way ........its fine ..april?........may more like , be sensible...lol
Why did he leave at the end? A job just opened up at the unemployment office and he was the first one there who could replace her!
Coz she put a stamp of suspended before dying
So?
Rip up the suspended paper nobody would be wiser.
I loved that she was still a bureaucrat moments after her demise.
it is very hard to tell a dead bureaucrat from a living one.
it is very hard to tell a dead bureaucrat from a living one.
Been unemployed for a hot minute, this was hecka triggering
Not really, but yeah, you got the feel of hostile hospitality down pat
the quintessential bureaucrat, her dying act was to finish the paperwork.
Yes, bureaucracy is one of the last things to die. Well done.
The filmmaker was obviously time traveling into the future for this documentary when they posted it Jan 2020.
Even during the apocalypse the bureaucracy still some how survived
Inside - peace, quiet, food, booze & movies.
Outside - corona, chaos & zombies.
I complain not.....
That was actually quite clever. The tension between the work coach and the "customer" is really well portrayed. I've often felt a certain degree of resentment accross the desk when signing on. They hate their jobs and they envy the person they're supposed to be helping out, because they themselves are often in such hopeless situations. It's always an emotionally taxing interaction.
Exactly right, I feel sorry for them sometimes, at least we get to go home, they don't.
@@hiwall4883 Hey, how good is it not having to go for appointments with the lock down?
@@shlamimk4664 I wish! I've got an appointment on Monday 😠 Shows how much they care about their staff safety hey.
@@hiwall4883 No shit! That's weird. I just checked gov.uk. Says all non urgent appointments are cancelled. Oh well. Stay safe out there! Wherever you are...
@@shlamimk4664 Thanks, I'm in Australia, they are very strict here. We can request phone appointments if we are not feeling well.
"A post apocalyptic job center"
Job centers in times of corona: Can't relate
Definitely similar to employment agencies in my area. The feeling you're better off dead prevails.
I had to watch several times before I realised it wasn't a documentary about life in Covid-19 Britain. I thought so little has changed.
Yes, this is an accurate portrayal of the benefits system. No zombies needed.
The 'zombies' are the drone-like citizens waiting in endless lines for benefits. That's my take anyway. 😜
Hmmm I was thinking of the DMV, guess we all see what we want to see..
Completely unrealistic - The DWP were nothing like this compassionate when they sanctioned me.
I was 10 minutes late (The maximum is 8 mins). Had to wait for 1.5 hours to be interrogated as to why I was late. I explained my boiler had broken down and I'd been without heat or hot water for 3 days whilst the heating engineer had been waiting for a part. He'd phoned that morning to say it had come in and he'd be round later so I'd had to stay in until he arrived and he'd been an hour late.
They asked why I hadn't phoned in and I explained I'd tried 6 times but just got a constant engaged tone. Apparently this wasn't good enough as other people had managed to get through. What kind of logic is that? So I was sanctioned two weeks job seekers allowance because they didn't have enough people manning their phone lines at a time when I'd just had to pay £200 for boiler repairs. I did ask if I could get any help with the costs from emergency funds but of course they'd all been used up long ago.
N.B. I don't really blame the DWP staff member as on previous visits two members of staff had told me they were given sanctioning targets each week and a third actually showed me an official memo confirming this. At the time they'd also been told that some of them would be made redundant and meeting sanctioning targets would be part of the criteria as to which of them would be laid off. All part of a caring Tory society.
You say you dont blame the DHS staff for their actions....but if tbey didnt comply this wouldn't happen...it just gives self important cunts a sense of worth....still...Corona virus might just get a few twats ....lets hope so....they are disgusting.
The actress did a great job. A bureaucrat to the last....
This should be getting millions of views.
It's so timely.
Update: Actually, too close to home....
Update Update: It's here. The Omicron Variant.
Something that sounds like a bad 1950's sci-fi film about a deadly virus, is real.
I loved that the same crowd was waiting for him at the end 🤣
This is like every job agency I've ever been to.
I just made a similar comment
Brilliant short comedy horror! I used to work in the Department of Social Security and this film gets the horror and absurdity just perfectly.
"You said their all dead!"
*WHACK*
"You said their ALL DEAD!!"
*THWACK*
😂🤣😂🤣
The part where he went “FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK....”
I felt that.
i do believe if there ever was a zombie apocalypse the first thing the UN would say is "call them unemployables, not zombies."
MrYfrank14 #notallzombies
Last Minute Productions needs to make a full length movie like this, this is the best zombie film I've ever seen, and I've been watching since I was about 6 years old. That's back when dirt was invented, this is better than anything George A. Romero made may he R.I.P., even better than Sean of the Dead, and I couldn't stop laughing when I watched that. Got to give 10 of 10 + 1.😀😆😂🤣😭
So this is how things will look in August.
June.
Worth watching just to see that poster in the office "a pill a day keeps unemployment at bay".
Just watched this the day after being layed off from work because of the corona virus. I am sure I will be back to work soon...
So sorry to hear that, I really hope things turn around soon.
Mass graves digging is a job... make sure they are all dead though
@@Ardvale so weird, sounds like something the female interviewer would say.
I don't see the difference between this and a real Job Center.
@@lisettelachat1870 Saying this to the kid who grew up on benefits despite mum's best efforts to get off them.
Take your hatred somewhere else and stop reading the Sun
Funny and also a bit depressing, my fav!
Reminiscent of recent job centre interviews, so after an apocalypse it business as usual!
Brilliant, well done. I thought I was all zombied out. This was a great twist on the genre.
love the capitalist take on the apocalypse, even after a zombie outbreak people are being valued by their ability to work
TH-cam AI algorithm has a strange sense of timing, this is recommended in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic.
Must be an upsurge in searches for 'apocalypse'
@@Ardvale I guess, great work, and I'm quite glad that it was recommended, really enjoyed it.
Same here Andrew, I love the irony of the timing!! I was glad for the laugh too.
I don't see any major differences with my current situation. Are you sure this is post-apocaplytic film?
it is. the apocalypse has already happened. You are just behind with ne News.Probably because of bad Internetconnection. netzausbau,you know.
This should be a TV series :)
All those "Unemployables" could have been avoided if they had only worn their masks and practiced social distancing.....
truth!!!!!
.......but they thought it was a government conspiracy.
Seems like a spiritual successor to Shawn of the Dead, great job!
...being suspended by an employed zombie? It rings a bell.
yes the zombie is the orange man with clown eyes
The one thing that really shouldn't survive, survives a zombie Apocalypse: bureaucracy.
Yeah, seems realistic enough after watching the COVID19 debacle.
Well this aged well all things considered
They predicted the future quite quick 2020
Her job was so easy, even the “unemployable” zombie could do it.
Literally 2 months later:
This film is a reality
Funny to have this come up in my recommendations ... now during 2020 pandemic
This seems horribly well timed... I wasnt scared until I saw this!
@Smileyrie James obviously zombies are a metaphor for starving people who will eat anything, including you! Thanks for trying to put a positive spin on current events, though!
This really needs to be made into a movie so I can add it to my Zombie movie collection.
TH-cam's algorithm can be quite poetic, I'll give it that.
Man this sure hits differently now.
Tell me about it!
Yes doesn't it, before we would have laughed, now it all seems too real.
Daft enough to be funny, realistic enough to be worrying. Thanks for the upload. 👍
The worst thing is that even if zombie apocalypse happened people would still try to make money or at least bottle caps
Perhaps Nuka cola caps will do
Toilet paper will replace paper money.
Feels so good to laugh 😊😊 before we experience the real zombie apocalypse 2020
Zombie apocalypse meets economical crisis! But you still have to play by the book! After alll, even zombies need to eat… even if it is "other people".
Zombie unlife,s matter:)
This...this reeks of old BBC comedy so much! This is perfect! It's like the zombie apocalypse sketch Monty Python's Flycing Circus never did! Even the exaggeratedly pleasant head bobbing, smiling and just all around thick, juicy, moist awkwardness! This will never not be in my Favorites to watch again and again and again!
Well done Last Minute Productions! Well done!
Relevant film in current conditions !
How did you know Covid-19 was so potent already three months ago?
Original idea was drafted in 2016, guess i had a matt groening moment
we we all wanted to live in the Future .... and now we all are!
Now this needs to be a series!
When I clicked the thumbnail I was expecting a bit of fictional comedic relief not the security footage of my last visit to the "unemployables" office.
I love the Brits as they carry on lolol 'no need to feel alarmed'
This was great! A bit disturbing right now though, the parallel to our current pandemic, as well as the dysfunction of the unemployment agencies, is resoundingly significant...
Tell me about it, I wanted to cry as he put on the plastic mask :-(
my local job centre is already there..,...okey dokey.....
Wow.... suddenly super relevant
I actually wouldn't mind seeing more of this, like a web series or something
Ahh nothing better than a zombie comedy in the midst of a pandemic 🤧😷☣😅😆😂
Brilliant! As always, the Brits shine their legendary stiff upper lip humor onto the rest of the world, and we're glad for it. We need it! Loved every bit of it!! Thx.
You guys were on the money this is the current reality
Two things:
Very pleased she was infected.
Follow his example of Social Distancing. Run!
Haha!!! Very good paul
They forgot to mention the toilet paper crisis...
Absolutely brilliant on every level - acerbic, witty and laugh out loud hilarious with a dose of twisted reality thrown in for good measure in a macabre way. Forget The Walking Dead - it’s The Walking Unemployable! Fantastic work guys and cheers! 👍😈🧟♀️⭐️
I watched it for third time laffing its perfect the background the actors priceless!
I guess this is what 2021 will be like.
SHUT UP!!!! do you know how many zombies at mall nightmares I have had.
@@reverendbluejeans1748 the term is unemployable, we dont like to use the Z word here
@@krazykat1697 The dream was realistic, I tell the. My family had petty arguments like they do in most crisis.
Dude this about to be MAY.
Just goes to show that you don't need a lot of fancy CGI to make a great short movie... oh, and a hilarious one too!
Strangely I could see the British doing this during a zombie apocalypse.
Absolutely...Luckily we know how to take the pee out of ourselves otherwise we would go mad...
My goodness Toby's eyes are hypnotic!
And I could totally see Tisha being played by Jessica Hynes
I love this character! I want to see more! Great film!
this is uncomfortably close to, how things are in Germany...
Yeah, it's weirdly close.
Germany.....? Unfortunately, I'm sure it is close to things worldwide!! 🌏😟
"The streets are swarmed with zom.." "Uh, unemployable."
Excellent acting skills by both the interviewer and the interviewee.
Well cool!!! All of it. The idea. The acting. The filming. Editing. All of it 👍
