You can be this man. After working in sales for 6 years I devised a plan to allow me to tell every customer and every boss exactly how I feel.

I would give this comment a thumbs up but, as we're back (the incredibly pedantic people who still, inexplicably, are entertained through viewing TH-cam videos), I cannot. You have written in lower case when exclaiming "God" and also whilst utilising the personal pronoun "I". In addition, you ommited the full stop at the conclusion of your statement. I, therefore, have no option but to do the decent thing and present you with a thumb angled in a downward direction and hope that you will learn from this gentle chastisement.
This was basically the Men's Wearhouse in the US back in the 1990s. "You're 22, you have no idea how to dress, and you just got a real office job and need a couple of presentable but affordable suits, some dress shirts and some ties? Just shut up and we'll tell you what you're buying."
No, we need criticism, not negativity. We have plenty of that, not only in spades, but in Jack's and clubs as well. Our effiency would increase with some positive criticism, however so many people are looking for a chance to get even, that their criticism suffers as a result, and it gets turned into a wild goose chase of blame the victim. We need to do better than this, and that only happens when we start not only to say that we deserve better, not only when we need to act better, but that it's possible to think better, not only of others, but of ourselves as well. This negativity is a naive way to think, and ignorant of our capacities and potential. Fuckk the government and private sector however.
"I'm trying to make you know that the world isn't pleased to see you; you aren't needed, or included, or loved; you're ugly, and superfluous, and ignorant, and you should be frightened, and meek, and grateful!" is more or less exactly what my brain says to me every day.
This is the kindest of the sadistic trio that David plays, here he is actually doing his job and getting the customer some attire rather than drive them out with an experience that will insure they never set another foot inside the shop again.
"I'm trying to make you know that world isn't pleased to see you, you aren't needed or included or loved, you're ugly and superfluous and ignorant, and you should be frightened and meek and grateful!" I've had this voice in my head my entire life and I credit it for my good manners...
It is a valid request for people who don't need to impress and just want something that is 'good enough'. The skill as a salesman is to suppress personal biases in favour of the customer's perspective.
@@nicolaim4275 would more say that the skill as a saleman is more "get them to buy something, preferably without regretting it later so they come back and buy again"
"A business 'siieut' that is simultaneously a dinner 'siieut' and a tailcoat and a pair of pajamas" I can never say that line without bursting out laughing half way through.
Reminds me of a lot of shops in specialist markets. Model shops, computer shops, music stores etc. They basically just want to prove how flipping clever they are and opened the shop as a place for their mates to hang out and discuss how much they all know about the hobby.... Whilst the slowly go out of business.... As nobody shops there twice....
sarcastic bowl of cornflakes yeah anytime I'm in a comic or video game shop there's always a middle age woman searching for something her son wanted and you can tell the staff are laughing in the back

So many of these weak ignorant trendy hipster nerd tossers around these days.
My favourite shop in my hometown is an independent electrical shop (40 years old maybe) that sells or can get everything - and the sales staff are so knowledgeable and professional. You know you'll get the right thing from there not just what they want you to buy - so you always go back.
sarcastic bowl of cornflakes I was actually going to respond to op with an amusing comparison I drew between their description and the owners of a local comic book store.
I bought a suit from a shop that had a man a bit like this. Kind of: Just as serious but not so harsh, and with a bit of Downtown Abbey butler thrown in. It was actually a very enjoyable way to buy a suit, very old-school. I ended up buying a coat too, which I hadn't planned to. Good at his job, that fellow was.
I would actually quite like customer service to raise my standards in this no-nonsense way. I want to be told how I look, not how they think I would prefer to be told how I look.
@@fdfsdfsvsfgsg4888 It seems far more pathetic to be so needy that you want the storegirl to rub your ego over how definitely great you look in your bright orange trousers.

David Mitchell is my soul mate and every word out of his character's mouth in this sketch is something I long to say to at least a dozen people each day.
"I beg your Pardon" "i'll overlook it just this once" That's actually a brilliant line. Mitchell and webb are true masters of subtle comedy. I don't even think they needed the laugh track, it'd be just as funny without it.
@EazyDuz18 the BBC doesn't use canned laughter. It's either shot live in front of a studio audience or like SNL they play it on a screen for said audience.
David Mitchell is an incredibly funny and talented man, but I think we missed a trick when we didn't immediately peg him as born to play a baddie. He's got the perfect mix of intensity, intelligence and intimidation going on here to play a blockbuster villain to the hilt.
I’d rather be served by him than 90% of people that work in stores now, at least he knows his shit instead of just selling anything you’ll get the right thing 😂
"I'm sorry, what happened to the clothes shop that used to be here?" "It's gone. They've all gone. They've all been driven out of business by the rise of internet shopping and extortionate ground rent charges."
This is comedy gold. A classic, up there with the Monty Python Parrot sketch and such like, The first thing I've actually "laughed out loud" about in a long time. Thanks for sharing this.
I like to imagine a canon in which all of Mitchell's characters are actually the same guy perpetually chasing that Australian girl from job to job casting her out only to repeat the process. You can take that second skit where Mitchell is a obsessed priest and play it as either the beginning or the end he started chasing her because he was obsessed and ended up hating her or after chasing her he end up in love with her.
I got myself measured for a new suit a couple years ago, and I feel like I encountered a Greek version of this guy. Like, you walk in and you immediately feel sorry for wasting his time.
Damn! I wish clerks could act like this still. They customer is seldom right, and for those of us who've been stuck in retail far too long have a hard time not shooting off like this.
We used to have plenty but people would rather buy some ghastly rag stitched up in far Eastern sweatshops by workers paid less per week than the shopper spends on one coffee. It doesn't matter if the item is well made or not as it will be off to the charity shop after three wearings on the basis that the look is "tired" now.
"I've seen you in here before. I've seen you slouching around the place in your slip-on shoes and motorcycle jacket, looking like a mechanic who's just won the pools. I've seen you, with you tin earring and black marketeer swagger. We've all seen you and we all thought you were a TURD. Now do you wish to look smart, or do you want to leave this place as you entered it, looking like a slack-jawed spiv?" Funniest thing about this sketch is that it's true. Standards have slipped down the shitter.
This is my fav genre of Webb/Mitchell skits: the incredibly something and something people who are still unaccountably something. :-) Oh, and Sir Digby.
Big difference between the U.S. and Britain right here. One tells you that you're going to be great and the future is looking up. The other tells you you're not going to make it and you better get used to the same.
Did you not watch the video? Hes telling the guy that he shouldn't be so confident when he clearly has no comprehension of the traditions of courteous conduct associated with being a suited gentleman. The man is instantly disrespecting the suit shop with the impropriety of his behaviour and dress. It is (rather exaggeratedly) saying that the man should have considered the traditions and rituals associated with the society which he wishes to dress for before entering. He is not displaying elegance, self-effacement, formality or courtesy - yet he wishes to dress as those who would protect and encourage these meritable virtues. In short he's a "Slack-jawed spiv" - as mitchell calls him. HOWEVER, Mitchell does then TELL HIM that he WANTS TO HELP HIM. He wants to help him to be the thing he is going to dress up as, instead of simply putting him in a suit and letting him continue being an uncultured and callous turd. The only way he feels this can be achieved is by smashing the man's ego to pieces and building him back up as a gentleman.
He merely commented on the comparison of the recurring theme of American and British comedies. He's not wrong, and I'm pretty sure he watched the video to leave a comment inherently about British comedy, on a video which is taken from British comedy.
FINALLY! I'm so tired of these silly giggly retail girls who let people walk all over them. I left a job once because I was not allowed to critique bad clothing choices or even give advice to what customers would look best in.

He merely commented on the comparison of the recurring theme of American and British comedies. He's not wrong, and I'm pretty sure he watched the video to leave a comment inherently about British comedy, on a video which is taken from British comedy.
But in the US you're more likely to get shot at school
You've clearly never watched BoJack Horseman.
So one lies to ge your money and the other tells the truth

I love these sketches so much. XD
"Where did you get that laugh track?"
"What, this thing? I got it from Dharma and Greg."
"Oh, I'm surprised there's anything left in it."
"OOOOOOH!"
How can people "'NOT' like" this! It's brilliant!lol.

Hilarious how Mitchell's left eye narrows menacingly when he says "..looking like a mechanic who's won the pools!"
I'd love to meet ashop with a guy like this. Everyone's so fake, scared of offending, and full of incompetence.
"We've all seen you and we thought you were a turd!" LOL
To be fair, when he appeared I also thought he was a turd.
we all did
"You're ugly, and superfluous and ignorant. And you should be frightened, and meek and grateful!"
Really does make you wonder how the British Empire failed to conquer hearts and minds, eh?
"The friendly Australian girl."
Is there any other sort?
Of girl? Yes, plenty.
How David Mitchell says Suit and Shoes is amazing
"...holding that clothes hanger like a pen..."
Rob Fraser Rob Fraser "And an undershirt of course, which as every schoolboy knows, provided your school wasn't free, is put on with your feet."
It's awesome how many people actually agree with Davids character.
