The trick is DO NOT keep it on. A hi-vis clothing only works in motion. If you remain in place for more than 1 or 2 minutes without a clipboard, or someone next to you in khakis and a polo, you will be asked questions you don't know the answers to
Don’t forget the “lanyard of power”.
@@ThecovertCustomer don't tell em about the lanyard yet Steve, they ain't ready for the lanyard
Sounds like you are talking from a place of experience. Respect! 😆
Speaking from experience I see, respect
You've absolutely NO business being both this hilarious and also absolutely correct. Comedy and truth peacefully existing in this shared space?? Who do you work for.... lol.
If you convince people you're meant to be somewhere they'll believe you 😂
... obviously, what?
Yes. That’s what… convincing means.
Well...........yea
My late roguish uncle used to watch the Blues (Birmingham football team) play every weekend. He was always smart, drove a Jaguar and never paid, always sitting in a VIP box with one of his sons. After he died, I found out from my cousin that he told everyone he was Staffordshire Chief of Police 😂

That's brilliant 👏
The psychic didn’t see that coming!
😂😂😂 nope 😆😂😂😂
😂 damn, just like me with that comment!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

😭😭😭😭
A psychic, calling someone ELSE out?😂😂😂😂😂😂
Worked private security for over a decade. No joke, yellow jacket and a clipboard or a table and you can go anywhere that doesnt require am ID check for literally everyone. Even then, if you say you're from something reasonanble (swapping out/checking fire extinguishers, gas company, phone company, et cetera) they'll make you show your ID and write your name down, and let you through. If you've got a decent fake, or if there's no reason they're ever going to check up on you, then you're good. Just dont give em a reason to remember your name. Go see the concert and leave, don't steal anything, and no one's the wiser
It is stealing. I am not a thief
If all tickets are sold out and you make your way in. Isn't still stealing as your not taking anything from anyone nor stopping anyone from experiencing the concert.
If it wasnt sold out, then you'd be stealing from the band I suppose.
I know what you mean though.
I’m mainly baffled about the table. Who goes to a concert and brings a table? 😂
@@MiniTrainLocoThat's basically why it works.
Used to sneak into shows and festivals all the time. I can’t believe I never thought of this 😅
I'm a bus driver, and we have to wear hi-vis. I have lost count on the amount of people wearing a hi-vis jacket that have tried to board my bus for free, pretending they work for the company. This has been going on for donkey's years 😂 it's a good trick. The part that mostly gives them away is the matching Adidas tracksuit and staffy dog by their side.
@@redbearduk£1.75
@@redbeardukcrikey where do you live?? You can’t get one stop for that where I am.
can't afford a bus ride, but can afford a rubbish dog
@@SpikeyAlbinoPotato eh? it's £1.45 in london.
It’s £3.20-5.70 for an all day where I live, depending on age/if you’re a student, and £1.70-£2.00 for a single.
Lola's character is fabulous she cracks me up just as much as Mandy, great comic timing and deadpan acting
Deadpan sums them up perfectly - they're as funny as a dead body, and as charismatic as an overflowing bed pan. I'll say one thing for them though, they're certainly original - a comedy double act with two 'straight men'...
@@glamdolly30 why you hating?
@@burhanh08 No hate - an honest review!
What is the name of the show?
@@lubel9750I think it's called Seinfeld
This also works if you wear a suit and carry a briefcase. A fellow tried walking behind the counter at our coffee shop (chain store) saying he was a government inspector. He walked past 2 staff before i blocked him. I demanded ID, he gives me a business card you find for free at government offices and said he needed access to our computer.. I said "Cute. Let's see some picture id or I'm calling the cops." He left quickly and i called our sister locations to give them the head's up to watch for him.
“And then everyone clapped”
@@trevorb9281nothing ever happens
I might need more details on this here blocking techniques, they could come in handy.

'Oooh, good seats!'😂
Which show is this??
This whole dialogue is a masterpiece
I was installing seats in a major football ground in Scotland. They were hosting an open-air boxing match and the local lads I had employed were desperate to see it. I said, take a couple of the plastic totes we used for nuts and bolts, tell them you're with the seating company, here to do safety maintenance on any loose seats. Saw them the next morning, worked like a charm and they just waltzed in with the totes and sat in a stand with a great view.
I love this story.
@@Stellra52 I found this!: 'When Jim Watt defeated Howard Davis at Ibrox Park, Glasgow, for the WBC lightweight title on June 7 1980, he was continuing a long tradition of great Scottish champions boxing in the country’s many large football stadia.'
Oh God I cannot....😂😂
This woman is gold.
Pure diamond-gold.
Hmm?
One of the most brilliant comedy duos EVER...Mandy and Lola are friggin' hilarious!!! 😂😂😂
Hilarious as piles.
@@Aerojet01 You can get a special cushion, you don't have to suffer. But I'm sure your winces and groans as you sit down raise smiles on the faces of those around you
😂😂😂👍😂😂😂@@barrypuccini6142
It is, I agree, one of the funniest things I've seen for ages. The metal legs on the plane scene...
😂😂😂 "Take me to the chocpit..."@@ghengis430
The way she said
“Carry a table?!”
😂😂😂
Diane Morgan, You're a friggin' national institution. Much love!!!!
I cycled to the post office wearing my Hi-Vis cycling tabard. A kid pointed at me and asked his mum something. Her reply "because he's a dustman".
(That's a garbage collector to my American friends).
🤣
All of this manufactured drama is really boring.
😂😂😂my chest😂😂😂 the wot now😂😂😂
Hahaha oh wow
He wears cor blimey trousers
Diane Morgan is priceless!
It works with a clipboard or a tool belt too.
Two guys in coveralls, a clipboard, a tool belt, and one carries a short ladder. The guy I first apprenticed under said this would be the way to rob a bank 😅.
I luv her voice...
I would like Mandy as a friend 😊
Me too 😅
Gotta see if this theory is true... Wish me luck
Please post updates lol
Lol 😂. I agree completely. Lol 😝
Good luck
For best results, also carry a clipboard 😊
It does. I tried it for rock gigs when I was a teen.
"Nobody questions you if you're carrying a table" - if life were so simple 😆👍😂😂
ETA: I'd defo pull something like this if I was going to see a psychic 🤦♀️😂😂
No like it’s literally a thing in social engineering
My dad was in the fire brigade. Once on an exercise, after sending his firefighters in on BA, he knew him and the driver would get given some shit job.
So he picked up a clipboard gave it to the driver and they walked round the building, my dad would point at stuff and the driver would pretend to write stuff down.
A few of the officers gave them confused looks, but they left them alone.
Clipboard plus highvis is the true go anywhere combo.
Scary but true
In the army a clipboard is a great way to pretend you're busy, even a cardboard box works.
As an survey archaeologist, this is 100% true. They are also helpful when wandering the desert or mountains during hunting season.
You can't fool me, wearing this jacket while wearing high heel boots at the same time
I used to have to wear high heels with mine!
It's actually completely normal. I've seen these guys dressed up like this, wearing makeup, fancy boots, earrings and heels and whatnot that'd make you believe otherwise.
Nobody would even bat an eye.
@@ZippieHippie
All sortsa thoughts😂
@@asmitaghorai7332 Completely normal at the Y-M-C-A.
As a diva ass bartender at a pool hall... Yeah, I put in WORK while wearing my heeled boots 😂
A guy on my dorm hall once stole a couch from a big box store when he was in high school. A manager caught him trying to take it out a side door and said, "excuse me?!"
The guy--w/out missing a beat--said, "Oh hey, hi, could you help me get this outside. My friend's gonna bring 'round his truck and we can load it on from there", and the manager said, "Oh sure, no problem!" and they carried out to the sidewalk.
We asked, "So what did you do with the couch?" and he said, "Oh I just left it there on the sidewalk. I didn't have any use for it."
His whole family were kleptos. His 13yo brother once came home with a moped and his family asked, "Where did you get that moped?" and his brother said, "I found it."
That is hilarious! He stole that couch just because! A show could be written about him n his whole family! I'm sure there r tons of stories like these 2!
Works with playstations etc too in big shops just use the staff rooms or staff staircase with the vest on haha
Because the moped thing reminded me of it: There’s a super funny story on here that a dude* told about being like 19 years old and on mushrooms in a bad part of Philly, then getting expertly swindled out of a motorbike by a tiny child. 💀 The con is pretty elaborate for the kid’s age and you almost have to respect the hustle lmao. Video’s called “Zach’s First Shroom Experience” for anyone who needs a laugh.
*Zach Cregger, a comedian/actor/filmmaker whose most recent published work was writing/directing the horror movie Barbarian. Other guy in the video is his best friend, Trevor Moore, who unfortunately died a few months later (at great loss to the comedy world). The ‘Newsboyz Clips’ playlist on that channel has a bunch of dumb little funny stories they told on livestreams.
Ezekiel Jones vibes are strong in this one
@@SomesingVague thanks for pointing this out, loved it!
Worked a job where they told ladies no non work related copies - and some needed some to get stuff like food stamps! They paid shit. So I said " watch this " put their papers on a clip board ; went and made copies - done
one time i was at a McDonald's and I was looking for the bathroom. They usually have pin pads at the door, so when I spotted a door that had one, I headed in. Right at that moment, someone was exiting. I walked in with such confidence, dead sure it was the bathroom, that when I said "excuse me" the person let me pass through looking a bit confused but not stopping me. Well, I immediately realized it was the backrooms and turned back around but it taught me that if you have total confidence you can get almost anywhere. people will assume if you're so sure you must know where you're going
Along the same lines, it's really awkward asking people to let me in to locked spaces so I can deliver packages, so i just say thank you lol. I started doing it on accident. It makes it better for all of us because they don't have to have a painful debate about whether they're supposed to let me in or not, i already said thank you and it would feel worse for them to tell me they can't let me in lol
This reminds me of a social experiment that someone did. They got people to try and jump the queue by asking people if they could go in front. They had a few things that they would say, I can’t remember all of them but the one that worked the most was by saying “I can go in front because” even if they didn’t say anything after.
Lol, so true.A few years back in Brisbane, my work colleagues and I watched from our office window as a rough, drugged up couple with high viz vests and hard hats, pulled up copper wire from behind a transformer box on the street, right in front of everyone. No one passing them took any notice. I went and confronted them, and after trying on a few excuses, they realised they'd been busted and took off on their push bikes. Cops arrived soon.after and were given a description, not sure if they caught them. They'd obviously nicked the vests and hard hats from a construction site. I' give then a few points for their innovation.
They never found them because they were looking for a couple wearing hi vis vests and hard hats
@@no_peace😅. Look up the Stopwatch Gang. Canadian bank robbers that wore fake moustaches and taped racing stripes on their getaway car. It worked. People only remember the first thing they see.
Just wear a nice shirt and walk around with a clip board. Nobody questions someone with a clipboard. Most will think you’re some type of inspector.
Can confirm. You'll hear workers whisper "It's corporate! Look busy!"
Add a nondescript card in laminate on a lanyard and you’re good to go 😊
I know someone who used an old BBC hi vis to sneak into football matches. If anyone looked at him he slipped on a pair of headphones and started talking into a microphone on he's lapel.
Dont even need the mic just talk into your lapel
"It's not a lie if YOU believe it." George Costanza.
Psychic: I knew it would work
Those legs crossed like a Cadburys Curly Wurly 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Another trick that works is to seem like you're moving with a purpose, not running but kinda speed walking while looking semi determined. Use to get into so many places I wasn't suppose to be that way and customers would often stop me to ask me where things were.
they need to take it off once they seated😂
Absolutely love this series
What is this? Looks really funny!
Lol the table probably cost more
That’s Genius! See me at the Oscars 🎉
"Ooh good seats " ...lol
Bloody love this comedy 😃 😂 I laugh till I cry best since miranda
Pleaseeeee. - tell me -- what is the name of this show ? I’d love to watch the entire series… 🙏🏼 thanks in advance
@@santan546 mandy bbc 1 player
Works with the Amazon vest too 😂😂 nobody questions anything with the hi vis vest
We were warned about this over 20 years ago on the railways... 😂
This was the same tactic used by the TH-camr who gatecrashed the BAFTAs and went on stage with the Oppenheimer team 😂 His video is actually quite informative about how terribly easy it is to invade seemingly big and secure events
I love Diane Morgan, she's so funny
Her hair do's always crack me up. They are wild!! 😅
Why do Mandys always come up with the best ideas to get everyone in trouble? 😂😂❤
It's a paradox. Hi-vis makes you invisible.
This reminds me of the video of some guy who blended in working as a labourer in a house😂 friend drops him off and he just pinches a hi vis and starts working, no one questions him for a good while and assumes hes working for an agency 😂
I saw that. Unbelievable 😂
So what's the point? Work for free??
@@ErrorlVlacroright? Like why
I've literally gotten into places by wearing a high viz and confidently saying "I have permission." Somehow nobody asks who gave that permission.
got into two festivals we had the high vis and clipboards we got waved in before even getting to the doors. I heard carrying Pizza as pizza delivery also works for indoor events.
Worst lie on TH-cam. Saying “I have permission” completely defeats the purpose and effectiveness of the hi-viz disguise. Nobody who actually has a job to do will feel compelled to explain themselves unless they’re asked. And if someone is asking, then they’re absolutely not going to be satisfied with “I have permission” without inquiring further.
@@monkeytimestamps4915 Depends. On one occasion I was legitimately wearing the high viz but so was every other volunteer. That didn't give us, or at least shouldn't have given us, access to some of the restricted VIP areas. As long as I waa confident enough I literally got in by saying "I have permission", "I'm allowed to" or my favourite one "It's okay."
I'll have to take her up on that one day.
The table is genius
that and a clipboard.....every time.
Blagging is so easy It's about confidence and really believing in what you're doing is real,
Sort of like actors and politicians.
"Stand back! Stand back! We've got a keeler!"
I love it. 😂 Where do I get a jacket? 😂😂😂😂
A smart business suit works, too. Carry a nice laptop bag and walk in like you know where you are going.
Not to a cinema you don't
A brilliant show!
I love seeing someone with the same accent as me on the TV. I love Many, I know a few "Mandys" where I live, same coat too 🤣
This is a Great series, hope they carry it on.
Yep! I know what we're all thinking! 😂😂😂
No questions you if youre a pizza delivery driver
i’ve just started getting into her music recently and love her already i can’t wait to see how her career progresses cause she is a STAR
Philomena Cunk! One of my favourite comedic characters. Same with Barry Shitpeas.
LOVE PHILOMENA, she’s everything!!
I love her so much 😂
The ultimate liquor store trick
I love this chick I can’t get enough she is ine of the best underrated comedians
what show is this
Mandy
After work I was walking in downtown and just so happened to be wearing the same style of out fit of the male staff of a particular club. I was able to hang out and no one was the wiser!
Can confirm. This is how I get in to pay roads like 17 mile road in Monterey. Just tell them you have a job to do, even better if you have a ladder on your roof
Did this once years ago.... it really works.
Nobody questions you if you're carryin' a table.
Truer words were never spoken
😂🤣😂
This is auctually brilliant
STOP...this is too funny😂 she's right though
A lanyard works just as well & means you can leave the table at home.
Wearing a Dominoes uniform and carrying a pizza bag also works.
The British Carol Burnett.
this has so much truth in it...I been blagging ppl for years...just takes some bollox
The best 2 types of combinations Reserved and Free spirited. 😂
Speaking from experience. This absolutely works, and depending on how long you can keep up the facade, you can end up having a pleasant 4 days at a music festival
I need a friend like Mandy...
omg i would love to know someone who actually does these kinds of things
Loved mandy last series! and all the others!!
Tables are great, but, nobody but nobody questions a step ladder.
The jacket that gets you in every where .live it buying one tomorrow 🤪
This works in the states too !
I have never heard the term "Blagging" before!
So True..Especially with SECURITY written on it...
id be arrested for my old day blags if i found out ,lol
Oh, look, it's Philomena! XD
When my new local hospital opened many years ago, a couple of guys turned up in hi-viz and left with all the new tv sets from the ward.
So I had an EMS shirt and used to get into concerts and then take it off. I regret it now
Why ?
I’ve never seen this before but I love it
Like the lads who got into that music festival by wearing a hi-vis and carrying a ladder 😂.
This is true. Especially here down under. 😅
Hahahaha 😂❤
Classic!
THAT is the best idea that I have seen in a long long time...lol
Everything went as planned until your sitting in someones seat! 😂😂
This is literally my mother. Giant blonde hair on top of her head, talking a million miles an hour, and you never know what she's going to say next.
