How to abuse the power you have as a librarian.

    The D.E.N.N.I.S method condensed to 3 minutes. Spectacular.
  • "What happened to the friendly Australian girl who used to work this circulation desk?" "She's gone, ma'am. They've all gone. And We're back."
  • This is basically how people find themselves in an abusive relationship only it's a bit more subtle

    You know Robert was happy to be able to play the smart mean guy for once 😂

    My local library allows me to request books online, and the hold shelf is self-service, so I can just walk over and get it. Then I use a self-checkout kiosk to check the book out. This enables me to completely avoid all contact with librarians. However, this strategy falls apart when I get home, because a librarian is waiting there for me. And I can't ask her to leave; she'll just point out that she has every right to be there, since we ARE married.

    I once asked a librarian: "May I please use one of the computers?" And he replied: "I've been waiting ten years for someone to ask that question correctly."

    And we're back. The super-intellectual, intimidatingly snob people who still unaccountably work in a library.

    Funny how in one episode of Would i lie to you, David Mitchell has to lie about writing columns for a womans magasine so he picks Top sante as the one and everyone was shocked that he actually knew a woman magasine. Must have remembered it from this sketch

    I feel sorry for this lady....I know it’s just a sketch but I want to give her a hug and tell her it’ll be alright...

    This is what the voices in my head are like.
  • @cmoor8616
    Did I just see a prototype formation of every abusive relationship EVER?
  • @EmperorBeef
    Oddly prescient Benedict Cumberbatch impression considering the date of this sketch.
  • @rockoperajon
    What makes you such a genius all of a sudden, Jez? The only book you've ever read is Mr. Nice!
  • So this sketch must be why David Mitchell was able to recall "Top Sante" as a women's magazine for "Would I Lie to You". In fact the only one he could recall and yet couldn't explain how or why.
