hilarious. what a couple freakazoids. and have you ever heard so many analogies in your life!?

I can't stand people like this. they've had a little success because the hubbie was a good barterer but other than that, they were completely useless.

that was the beauty of it. it was real... but i can certainly see how some people might find it a spoof. some of the stuff that stupid woman was coming out with was hilarious.

the new boy was as freaky as they were. what a completely useless git. i LMAO when she was giving him a run down of the company and his position and he was just whistling and bopping to his own little beat, completely oblivious.

no way- i thought that they were so odd that it had to be set up (like the office)

pissed myself laughing though, very clever.

I cannot believe that was real?????????

I watched the first half of it and really thought i was watching a spoof.

I just cannot believe those people were real!

That awful cringy moment when the consultant was there and they started likening business to changing a tyre and going down a new road.

It cannot be real! . surely a bit set up? no?

I am so gobsmacked, i wish i'd watched it to the end now! Will def be watching it next week.

Do you think the producers give them some guidelines?

What about that awful employee who needed to go to Othello games, he couldn't be real surely?

The incidental music was hilarious.

I wonder how the Armstrongs feel about the way they're being portrayed?
