SBS have put together a hilarious video mocking the Department of Finance recruitment ad that was so widely panned earlier this week.
But while the Deparment of Finance’s video references “paleo pear and banana bread”, “senior influencers” and “Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff network meeting”, the SBS video, take a far edgier approach.
The video titled SBS Recruitment: Come work with us invites viewers to “come work at SBS”. The two minute video is filmed at the broadcaster’s Artarmon headquarters. In the first scene a woman says she is heading to the cafeteria for some “paleo gluten free baklava”.
The Feed presenter Mark Humphries stars in the video as he makes his way throughout the three level building through the various departments. He makes fun of the number of Hitler documentaries the broadcaster shows before catching up with an older man in the video library.
“I’m just going through some of the European videos we used to show,” the older man says.
“You don’t see bush like this any more!”
Humphries then congratulates a lady for the yellow font subtitling effort she did on Chinese dating show, Are You The One?.
Before the video ends, the scriptwriters take the chance to take the mickey out of the network’s ratings.
In the final scene Humphries and a fellow employee discuss whether they are going to the ‘heroin and crack cocaine party hosted by Viceland (one of the network’s channels) tonight.”
Humphries then declares: “I won’t be doing any heroin or crack cocaine, my drug of choice is diversity.”
And if you missed that SBS Recruitment ad, you can take ya drug of choice (diversity) & watch it right the heck now https://t.co/Kz7EP2p30U pic.twitter.com/KGSHn6A5ep
