The funny people

Meet the cast. 7

Highly quotable.

Nobody's ever done anything like this for me.

I can't not repay your kindness.

That's the best hug I've ever had.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

At a supermarket cheese counter, sample-pusher Jonathan offers a taste of Maine goat cheese to a shy woman who has never been given anything for free. Overwhelmed, she leaves, returns with a family ring and a tragic foster-mother backstory, then asks for a hug that quickly becomes a series of nose boops and a kiss. When a second employee confronts her about the six dogs she has tied up outside, she returns to Jonathan once more to repay him, and the sketch ends on swelling romantic music.

Jonathan
Oh, hi, folks. Can I interest you in a free sample?
00:05
Customer
Oh, don't mind if I do, babe, shall we? Yes, indeed. Now, what is this?
00:09
Jonathan
Uh, we just got it in. It's called Rocky Lake Raclette. It's a goat cheese from Maine.
00:14
Customer
Mm. Really good. Thank you. Yeah, we'll definitely think about it.
00:18
Jonathan
I'll be here. Okay. Oh, hello, ma'am. Uh, can I interest you in a sample?
00:28
Customer
Are you speaking to me?
00:31
Jonathan
I am. I've got a beautiful semi-soft goat cheese. If you'd like to try it, it's free.
00:37
Customer
Free for me? OK, well, I don't know. I don't know what to say. Nobody's ever done anything like this for me.
00:47
Jonathan
Well, it's my job. Here, give it a try.
00:53
Customer
Thank you. I just feel bad I don't have anything for you. You're giving me this.
01:02
Jonathan
You don't have to give me anything. Just enjoy the sample and have a great day.
01:06
Customer
Oh. You know what, I will because of you.
01:19
Customer
Okay. Awesome. Awesome. Nice seeing you. Better seeing you.
01:24
Customer
Free sample?
01:25
Jonathan
Yes, sir. This is a washed-rind goat cheese all the way from Maine.
01:29
Customer
Nice. You said washed-rind? Probably better than a dirty rind, right?
01:32
Customer
There's a weird turning radius on this.
01:35
Jonathan
There you go. There you go.
01:38
Customer
Hey, sorry. I had to come back because I just I can't not repay your kindness. So I wanted to I have to give you something here. I want you to take this ring.
01:51
Customer
This is my mother's. I mean, not my biological mother, you know, because I was abandoned in infancy. but this belonged to the woman that was my foster mother who was, you know, my mom to me.
02:06
Jonathan
I just really couldn't, so...
02:08
Customer
No, look, watch. Yes, you can. Yes, you can. My finger's saying, yes, you can. And, you know, anyway, she was always like, yeah, I'm not your mother. I'm not barely your foster mother. Stop telling people that I'm your mother. And I'd say, I'm not telling anyone that you're my mother because you don't let me go to school, so I don't have anyone to talk to.
02:31
Jonathan
Moms, right?
02:32
Customer
Yeah, right? What are you going to do with moms?
02:34
Jonathan
Yeah, I don't know.
02:34
Customer
Ooh, free samples?
02:36
Jonathan
Yeah. You can try it. It's a delicious goat cheese.
02:38
Customer
Look at your baby. Oh, my God! Your baby. Wow. Sorry about that, but I'm just wondering if I may express my thanks to you physically. May I give you a hug?
02:57
Jonathan
Sure. You know, but then you got to go. Okay?
03:00
Customer
Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
03:02
Customer
Just anticipating what's going to happen.
03:05
Jonathan
Oh. That's nice. Yeah, it's so nice. Boop! Oh, okay.
03:12
Customer
A little boop! Boop! Boop! Boop!
03:19
Jonathan
Wow, that was the best hug I've ever had. I mean, not just because it's my first hug, which it was. It was just, it was really good.
03:29
Employee
Hi, ma'am. Do you have a dog tied up in the front of the store? You've got to be more specific than that. OK, do you have six dogs tied up outside?
03:41
Customer
Let's see, four, five, six. Uh, yeah, those are mine, probably.
03:44
Employee
Okay, well, they're barking at people of color, and one bit the Salvation Army bell ringer, so could you please go attend to them?
03:55
Customer
Well, you know what? Why don't you just... Right? Why don't you just untie them and then let them run off? Right? Because they've become a drain to us and our finances and just a burden to us, so...
04:09
Jonathan
I don't know her. I don't know her.
04:10
Employee
Yeah. You want me to untie your dogs and let them run away?
04:15
Customer
I don't know you.
04:16
Employee
You... Yes. But he... What did you say? I said, I don't know you.
04:20
Customer
Oh, he said, but take their collars off so they can't be brought back to us.
04:25
Employee
I'm not going to do that, so please attend to your dogs.
04:28
Customer
Okay. Okay. All right. Well, it's duty called. Yeah. But before I go, I just really wanted to repay your kindness.
04:39
Jonathan
Oh! Wait!
