A VERY GOOD USE OF YOUR TIME.

The setup

A simple delivery turns into the invention of names when three men cannot agree on which person is being addressed.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

A man carrying a box needs to ask two men on a sofa where it belongs, but calling everyone a person leaves all three answering at once. Pointing, clothing descriptions and directions barely help, so he proposes giving each person a distinctive sound. The pair complicate every rule: ordinary words make poor names, choosing the same first name defeats the plan, and inherited surnames cannot separate brothers. An occupational surname seems to solve the problem until both brothers reveal the same lack of an occupation.

Highly quotable.

I'd also like to be Bob, please.

Whichever one you're not talking to.

I think we nailed it.

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

The original Ryan George upload was released on June 2, 2019. George plays all three men, including two brothers who end up choosing the same full name.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
