The setup

Eric tries to finish opening an account at a Cinco self-service banking kiosk that misreads every answer he gives.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

After a quick promo touting Cinco's one-touch banking with no human interaction, Eric sits down at the Cinco International Credit Union's Personal Banking Center, whose upbeat automated voice needs just a few more answers to finish setting up his account. The questions are absurd, beginning with whether he lives in a hole or a boat, and every time Eric says no or tries to back out, the machine assumes the opposite: it logs him as a commercial fisherman, gives his boat a strange name, applies that name to his own surname and finally makes it his wife's new legal name. Between screens Eric turns to the camera in growing panic, but the kiosk cheerfully wraps up by mailing his wife a racy VHS tape of Pizza Boy.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Do you live in a hole or boat?

Your wife's new legal name is Taargüs Taargüs. Is this okay?

Excuse me, my wife can't get this in the mail.

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

The VHS tape the kiosk mails to Eric's wife is Pizza Boy, the pseudo-film shown earlier in the same episode.
