Gavin And Stacey Meet An Overly Stereotyped Estate Agent

Written by The Landlord on 11 Apr 2010

Any Gavin and Stacey fans up in this bitch?

Last week I got my hands on the “Gavin And Stacey” boxset. Prior to getting the boxset, I had never seen an episode, but I had heard great things about the show, and the comic genius that is James Corden (A.k.a Smithy).

I quickly worked through all 3 seasons, which was pretty enjoyable. Anyways, there was a brilliantly amusing scene regarding an Estate Agent, which I thought I’d share to those that haven’t been fortunate enough to already see it.

So, what did you think? Funny? Well I thought so.

Granted, a lot of the “stereotypical” traits of an agent have been overly emphasized, but I guess a lot of the underlying messages still remains true – some Estate Agents will try and sell ~~shit~~ snow to an Eskimo.

The Landlord2010-04-15 12:08:22 Yeah, that Estate Agent couldn't have been more of an Estate Agent. It was spot on, especially the moment he kissed Stacey at the beginning. That bit always cracks me up!! 2

just coz it is based in my home town of Cardiff please don't believe that all houses are like that!! Not a bad idea though - nice colour blue I though and what a fantastic wet room idea. I do think that agent might actually be based on someone who works at ................ ah - you don't expect me to spill the beans do you!!!!
