BBC mistakes cab driver for IT-expert

[colinmaharaj]

Taxi driver, I now pronounce you an official Trinidadian Politician. Congratulations. :)

[jamesfisher1993]

what a lad you can tell he's a taxi drive as he knows how to bullshit his way through anything

[DarkB1ueKnight]

like a boss

[smellyaraboncrack]

Dude actually handled being unexpectedly interviewed on national tv well!

[rishik17]

He is, in fact, a graduate in Economics and Business Studies who hails from the Congo. He was at Television Centre for a job interview - as a "Data Support Cleanser" in the Business Information Department.

When tracked down, he said that he had found his on air interview both "very short" and "very stressful" and was disappointed not to have been asked about data cleansing.

[gusemcontra]

I love the way the second reporter refers to the guy's answer. Shows you how bullshitty journalism is.

[jimmyshitbags]

it's fucking hilarious that this happened, the look on his face is beyond priceless

[SaxonWR]

its because all black people look the same.

problem?

[BoxingB0oda]

@SaxonWR cool guy

[inkey2]

what was he doing there to begin with

[Coruscant98]

@inkey2 He was applying for a job in the BBC's IT department lol.

[rippawallet]

@Coruscant98 errrr im sure he was a taxi driver ??

[Coruscant98]

@rippawallet I think that is an urban myth. Not sure entirely

[CreepinM]

Damn Epic!!! Hahahahaha yes he has flow

[ComanderSD]

He is my hero.

[Obelisk1990]

It amazes me that he didn't realize earlier that he was in a studio with "Apple" signs all over the place lol. Just like he is the Apple pro lol :D

[iluvjls1998]

hahahahahahahahahaha..........­......

[sondano]

A big surprise?

Exactly.

XDDD

[beyou5]

What a fucking legend.

[benzzuk1]

after THAT "interview" i hope he got the bloody job :P

[cheesydarkside]

aaw his face at the start! I would have had a stroke if it were me lo

[monzorella1]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL



[CryoCNS]

0:26, she has no idea what he's said so tries to act as if she did haha

[MrAlibahman]

He is the coolest cab driver ever. God bless him.

[MrFruitsbasketfan]

I saw this whilst it was live, and I was PMSL when I saw him on GMTV the next week haha

[Somecrazyshish]

The man wasn't a taxi driver and was actually an Economics graduate awaiting a job interview, after doing this clip he went to his actual interview. He didn't get the job.

[ZippOnFire]

He is an IT-expert now

[Sirusholuvyou]

@TheHmizzle, in his defense I think he meant his accent which is clearly French =P as for the stupid, talentless and illiterate remark. I do not think he is any one of the three as he handled the interview extremely well, nor he is illiterate if he could fill in his CV all by himself and be called for an interview! Legend guy!

[drtreg]

Either she is thick or she shagged him after the interview?

[Jabikz]

This guy's a fucking legend.

[karezza6]

He is just the sort of person the BBC would employ - stupid, talentless and illiterate and not English.

[TheHmizzle]

@karezza6 Racist much? 

[saturnstargirl]

I would have just said "Ummmm, Miss, I think you have the wrong person........." This guy is LEGEND!

[Zulfiqar32]

Funniest thing ive ever seen in my life.

[iamthestig2100]

Wow.. He's definately a master in the fine art of blagging it....

[mylightside]

This guy is amazing!!

[Metexie]

He is a little hard to understand, but it could just be nerves.

Hope he got a job.

[colt45joe]

lol, his freakout face in the beginning is so great.

[ChristopherAllen93]

Bless.

[alexdehaan1]

what a hero

[soundbeans]

lol EPIC FAIL n00bz

[MrAsena07]

he talked in a good way. although he became shocked but did it very well , very relax. he can work in BBC beter dan many other of employees of dis chanel

.

[iTerror1ze]

Oh god the look on his face is priceless

[martycelticfc]

Guy Goma (the taxi driver) is a LEGEND!

[kooora18]

He came on panel show 8 out of 10 cats, did a short interview and then left. The audience all wanted him to come back, 'bring him back' but Jimmy Carr simply replied, "You can all fuck off!"

[Psydecar]

@kooora18 It was actually Big Fat Quiz of the Year (2006) if anyone is interested.

[kooora18]

@Psydecar was it? It was on channel 4 and jimmy carr was the host so i assumed it was 8 out of 10 cats

[yesman2079]

This is hilarious but he did a great job, if I didn't know it was a mistake then I wouldn't have suspected a thing.

[TheRealDNB]

how many times does she say ER ahhahaa

[reckinyostats]

i never make mestakes

[Toastievids]

all time classic!!!

[harryjohnson121]

Hello Ismael

[michcar279]

His face from 0:05 - 0:09 :L

[Sospiro1209]

this guy went with the flow and handled it like a champ

[quietboygonewild]

We have had a text in our English class about this blooper. When I read it back then I laughed so hard and now I'm so glad I could have seen it. :D

[MEMESTUDIOSTHE]

THIS IS THE BEST NEWS BLOOPER EVER!

[5af1]

After watching this my confidence level is at its maxim, gotta love this guy, he's amazing

[PoeticalJustus]

FUNNIeST THING MAN looooool

[0098xxx]

0:6 LLOOOOOL

[greatestgod]

his face is classic at the start

[Cutchswife]

So, So, So BRILLIANT!

[water3three]

I love this man!!!!!!!!!!

[willyg1965]

This is still one of my favourite clips ever. The expression on the poor guy's face right at the start is priceless.

[etubesurfer]

@willyg1965 agreed!

[zzdre]

OMG! lmao he doesn't know what the hell to say, i still hope he got the job he was looking for

[pikachufreak19]

i love the way hes gos along with it

[bringer678]

he thought he was in a strange interview process lol

[zzyzybynsky]

Why did he keep talking if he was confused? Didn't he realize that Something was going on, even if he didn't know exactly what?

[JonathanGardnerTV]

@zzyzybynsky He was confused because he's a taxi driver...not some technology expert as the BBC somehow thought. They interviewed the wrong guy. He looks confused because he was probably thinking "WTF! o_o I'm no expert...shit"

[Mexicanseafooduk]

@JonathanGardnerTV he wasn't a taxi driver. the description on the video is wrong. he was there for a job interview.

[JonathanGardnerTV]

@Mexicanseafooduk ...thanks.

[liemer20]

hahahah funniest shit

[zaranine]

french accent ? cause i'm french i think he's french

[zaranine]

LOOOOOOOOOOL AWESOME REACTION AT 7 SECONDS !!!!!

[Noromongrel]

Heheh, why the heck does he just go along with it?

[Wanthy]

@Noromongrel he went there for a job interview, so he thought it was part of the test. When eh realized it as for real, he just went along

[adrianqx]

Black Homer

[lloydee1983]

Sooooo funny,he does quite well. Could be educated, but driving cabs just to pay the bills

[squamish4244]

He actually did pretty good considering that situation could have been pulled straight from a Leslie Nielsen movie...

[MrDJMIXTAPES]

TAXI DRIVERS .... THEY CAN BLAG ANYTHING ;-) WELL DONE FELLA

[aleph567]

The taxi driver's face at 0:05 is PRICELESS!

[ViciousScotsman]

Fair play to the guy giving it a go lol!

[philiphoward123]

I think he did really well. And in English!! Good job.

[wing2912]

like a boss

[Guttermouth]

Utter fucking legend.

[23dinoco]

hey sounds convensing to me i ll buy it

[xbox360dude968]

I love how he doesent admt it

[yankeecroc]

@xbox360dude968 That's the best part, he does admit it! He said that he was very surprised that they picked him of all people to come on the show. The anchor obviously zoned out and that he said that he was surprised by the verdict!

[selphiexfairy]

loooool poor guy he had no idea what was going on. and then he tried to fake it, too!

[mizmera]

Well done taxi driver.

[ZHsquad]

It's how he just rolls with it.

[FXMAN66]

TAXI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RayWilliamJonhsonFan]

Hahahahahahaha

[Coolfashionzoo]

Howie told me to watch this.

[solf08]

He did a good job that accent kind made him sound like a geek

[spielme]

he plays along what a legend of a man

[Alexa08Eagles]

[Alexa08Eagles]

[Fairuza92]

Haha, I laugh at this EVERY time I watch the video :DDDDDDD. Priceless.

[difficult2impress]

oh my gosh. priceless face when hes thinkin, "i'm got the guy!!" then he just answers the questions "oh yes, im surprised..uh i got here and the told me..i was surprised..yes" and then "yeah i think they'll download and they'll download what they want and..yes." hahaha just BS it the best he can which is what i think anyone else would haha gotta love him

[SpriJones]

freakin' fantastic, man.

[bonosbones]

tells you a thing or two about the credibility of news in general. The logo BBCnews is already enough to program the viewers for something serious. Switch your brain off it is time for your daily portion of easy blabber!! Since it always served at the same time it becomes a Pavlov reflex. When the intro music goes on air the brain gets automatically hungry for its daily fix. It doesn't matter if it makes sense or not.

[gummybear422]

haha the one guy after him goes "well you've just heard there it's a bit of a shock" lol haha

[TonyfromSyracuse]

this guy has no experience in how to do that job and is way out of his league.

in the USA my government would be like ,HIRE THIS MAN.

[charlienorway]

Why can't you just take a cab to the music store?

[pickledeliveryguy]

0:07 "Oh, crap."

[TeddieEddie1080]

No different from the words offered by the usual expert on the BBC.

[imphlatround]

Omg that's so funny! I respect that he just went along with it! Lol x]

[pecfree]

gotta love his French accent and how he survived a bbc inquisition live!

[HalSamuel]

Hahaha, oh man poor guy

[BROOL23]

lol hahahhahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaha­hahahahahahaahaha

[InkDropFalls]

He blaged it as well ...........lol

[NameThatsFnAvailable]

good morning...

[fecto3210]

Hahaha credit to him for giving it a go lmao... why did he try to answer the questions XD

[chanstarox]

I remember this LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL :'D

[Wezz1985]

I love the fact that he decides too just go with it

"right, i can fake my way through this"

[kage2love]

Dude es #1

[Optimusnorm]

This man is my personal hero!

[HateFenians]

Why did the BBC not hire him?

He stopped them from being made a fool of big time by not walking off, real Guy is White but they mistake Guy Goma for him and imagine if he walked and said wrong Guy.

This is the same BBC that we pay money to for a TV Licence.

[Sleepingpillz]

I'd do him.

[alextharrisoncc]

He should of got the job simply by being incredible.

[Alibi1992]

he did soooo well!

[pinoyvegan]

0:05-0:09 -- So. Many. Emotions.

Four seconds of pure WIN.

[ukulazy]

Oh my God... I love him. He seems like the nicest person in the world, and I could tell that one a single facial expression. =)

[Coollimes]

he does a good job bless him GOOD EFFORT :)

[DeapMeaning1]

0:07 Genrally made my day complete

[ancalites]

I can just imagine what the director must have been yelling into that woman's earpiece:

"SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT"

[wwe697]

[SamSpadeLives]
