I swear Ive seen this guys face in someones avatar here....
 
Is this some known European thing or what? I don't quite understand what is funny.
 
The man interviewed wasn't a technology expert, he was a job applicant who was in the building at the time, he was mistaken for another person and interviewed live on TV infront of an audience of millions. You can see the look of panic on his face as soon as the name is read out and he realises what is happening. He plays along and tries to pad out the interview despite the fact that he knows nothing about the case. In order to facilitate the charade he adopts an accentwhich makes him incomprehensible and he rephrases his answers multiple times to make it seem longer "I was very suprised because I was not expecting that, that was not what I was told, was thought would happen so this is a big suprise,very surpising".

Ok, it makes sense now. Thanks.
 
"Although believing the situation to be highly unusual, he prepared to do his best for what he believed would be his job interview."

Haha nice. I wish all job applicants were put on live tv, oh the pressure.

Did anyone catch that he didn't even get the IT job? If I was the manager I'd hire him even if he is incompetent.
 
It’s funny how he carries on the interview, thinking nothing will happen, and then his moment of fame finishes so quickly.

You are mistaken... it earned him numerous subsequent interviews and some tv appearances, plus a possible movie deal.

Jeez, is the world really that short of talent?
 
And this interview happened when? Way before 29th December. Sorry, but this is just old.
