Don't forget that every single episode of this series will be almost identical, only the visitor and the gift will vary.

American TV

Mythbusters especially is guilty of this. WE ALREADY SAW THAT FOOTAGE FOUR TIMES

12 years and more accurate than ever.

Welcome to Australian and American commercial television.

They forgot the part where they keep teasing the same reaction shot coming up at the end. "And later...'eh?'"

I used to love 'Discovery' and 'History' Channels, but I went off it because of the huge amount of adverts, and the fact that each documentary treats you as if you are so brain dead that you can't remember what the program was about, and so feels the need to repetitively remind you, time and time again. I never watch TV these days.

The names on the production credits at the end had me in stitches.

I showed this to two other people and they didn't find it funny. I fell off my chair laughing.

Apposite means appropriate. Had to look that one up.

Funny and accurate, but it needs a cymbal-hiss for every dramatic transition just like many shows of this nature use.

The thing with buying a gift for your ant is that gifts are often worryingly too large for ants to properly appreciate ( a worrying oversight in the gifts and goods market). Often you'll find that, despite Ants being able to lift 20 times their own body weight, most gifts are above and beyond the manageable weight for the average Ant. In this clip, we see the amateur mistake of someone ordering a woolen dog ornament for their Ant, which said Ant could neither transport nor consume.

This is just missing the 6 minute commercial breaks between each and every part.

Aw, man, this season was just getting interesting!

"DADDY!"

This is spot on on most shows on Discovery, History etc.

So many shows do this. You get the actual action with dialogue, then you get someone who tells you what you just watched and what they just said. Then he tells you whats coming up next, then that happens, then he tells you what just happened. Madness!

One of my favourite sketches.

5 minutes of cartoons, 10 minutes of commercials - I can live with that...

Brilliantly brilliant.

God, American TV has to be the stupidest thing ever.

I just watched mythbusters when I felt compelled to rewatch he Gift Shop Sketch.

I love how the entire 'gift shop sketch' is only played in full and in order in the closing credits.

Omfg!!! I hate those shows, in an 1 hour show, which is more like 20 min, bc of all the comercials. where actually 4-5 min is worth watching.

This reminds me a bit of Come Dine With Me. If you record it and fast forward the moment Dave says "coming up" and keep fast forwarding until you see the sponsors come back at the end of the adverts you can watch a half and hour show in 19 minutes and not miss a thing.

too good.

this is so true...!!

This is why I hate those US fly-on-the-wall shows like Duck Dynasty, Lizard Lick Towing, Dog the Mountie Hunter (it's a Canadian spinoff) and so on and so on, it's bad enough that they are largely scripted, but the narrator has to spell out the very obvious goings on.

This is how most tv looks to me.

Nailed it.

British comedy is just the fucking best comedy in the world

lol i LOL'd

Coming up on Part 6 of the Gift Shop Sketch: Brian must now charge up the spirit bomb to defeat Freeza.

epic shopping

this sums up all american tv

haha, the baby at the end

This is every episode of CSI and HOUSE.

It's an episode of The Gift Shop Sketch you have to see to believe.

Hilarious!!!

this is well funny

Yeah pretty accurate.

LOL - Good parody of American TV-shows. Loads of replies, loads of breaks, loads of reminders - A 15 second show last for an hour :-))

good stuff

This is correct

American TV is the worst...

reminds me of those aeroplane crash investigation shows

reality TV doesn't repeat itself, people edit that in.

Heh. Every FCP filter in the list. Love it [the sketch was ok too].

I agree entirely with the baby.

why else would they treat their consumers (americans) with such delicate care, if not for the fact that your heads will LITERALLY explode if you are not reminded about what happend 5 seconds ago?!

Yes sir/ma'am! :D xXx

Why does the sketch repeat, but muted? And for is the preview for the second half a babies face?

I think you're talking about anime. 2 minutes of intro and 5 minutes of recap.

Every single reality show.

i nearly died laughing, im starting to see blotching because of the lack of air to my brain!

Does anyone know what the piece playing at the end is?

Daddy!

good upload i like the second half where it plays the first half, but muted

Pure comedy

accurate.

I just had surgery and this was so funy I had to slowly back away, or risk gut injury.

@FriendlyLocalStalker never mind Jersey Shore, nearly every documentary on TV follows this formula these days

DADDY!

@FriendlyLocalStalker thats the fucking point!

basically this is American TV

Apposite /ˈapəzit/ (adj.) apt in the circumstances or in relation to something; e.g., an apposite quotation. "The observations are apposite to the discussion." (Source: Oxford Dictionaries Online)

hahahahaha....

"I'm looking for a gift for my aunt" has been said 10 times during the entire video....idk why I counted xD

Because that's exactly what happens.

"Accreate" -DJ Khaled

Reminds me of American reality shows lol

lmao!

When is this show on!?!?!?!?

I hate to say this, but I was distracted by the use of Klaus Badelt's "Dark Horse".

Community is good, but I wouldnt say the best ever made.

it's a bit like the hedge sketch from Fry and Laurie only with the angle of self saturating tv

Every fucking time when American TV-show. :p

As an American... I've switched to mostly British programming.

This is the exact reason I don't watch reality tv.

It makes me so angry. It's perfect.

this editing is quite similar to how Discovery does it :P

exactly like US TV

"I'm looking for a gift for my aunt" "I'm looking for a gift for my aunt" "I'm looking for a gift fro my a-rgghhhh" JUST TAKE THE WOLLEN DOG ALREADY!

What's up, Pokemon?

@BearSavageness ap·po·site/ˈapəzit/ Adjective: Apt in the circumstances or in relation to something.

Thank God someone else has noticed the madness!

This is the best comment I've ever read anywhere ever.

@divinesleeper which is eighter another aunt or his own mum. : P

Then again, it could be the father's aunt and the son's great aunt.

all discovery/tlc/history/ci/natgeo productions are like this...

is why the giftshop owner goes: "ej?" which would be British for 'huh?"

A Y E ?????

Welcome to the internet, it's spelled APPOSITE, good luck.

1) It was a rhetorical joke... 2) Technically that would make them your great uncles. xXx

@BearSavageness "apposite"

>america >smart people choose one

Hahaha read the names on the credits!

Eh? LMAO!!!

@BearSavageness apposite. Strikingly appropriate and relevant.

Don't laugh.. This ain't reality TV!!!
