Google Nigeria

This is a short sketch I made after seeing a picture on the internet

Very nice

But I think the bit where it says please enter your bank account number is enough

Thanks, and yes I should have kept it shorter I agree

Good joke.

I agree, it's more then enough to just show the Google screen, it's quite a funny gag. Although, you could have a follow up along the lines of "Google Nigeria has crashed...please send us your bank details and you can have the bullion it contains" or something.

Thanks for the input, I wsa thinking sort of on the same lines, a webpage with the error 419 (the official name of the nigerian email scam) This page cannot be found, like error 404 but couldn't think of a good ending.

You're on a winner.

419 is a clever joke, a little to clever. I think if you left in the background for the cognosentie to get.

I thought the 419 bit might be a bit to geeky as well.

Maybe I will have a think about it - Could do something like

I type in my bank account no and hit enter

Next page says:

Error 419 - This page cannot be found, either you typed your bank account number incorrectly, or we have been found out and the website has temporarily been shut down, while we work on another scam

Just flick it up as a background joke.

Liking your stuff.

The more I think about it, the more I reckon this is a good joke, Carlos, but one best left as a single image, of the Google screen. It's more a Private Eye cartoon than a video joke, really.

Well thanks for the input both, certainly gives me something to think about.

I should have thought longer and came here first before making a video, and then it would have turned out better. I like all the ideas and input you are giving.

Good work, the 419 joke is a good idea.

This one used the scammers as actors.
