Viva La Dirt League tries "How to dodge customers"

The comedy Short's gaming grandma becomes the talking point, alongside another fast-starting retail sketch.

How to dodge customersHow to dodge customers

Customer avoidance is the setup; the gaming grandma is what viewers keep returning to. Viva La Dirt League's comedy sketch "How to dodge customers" has drawn nearly 470,000 views in its first 16 hours, already several times its Shorts' usual full-day audience.

The comments focus on the older woman's gaming credentials, with viewers imagining her as a formidable opponent. Some say they anticipated the twist but still single out its execution. Another turns the customer interaction into a familiar gaming predicament: dialogue you can't skip.

That overlap between shop-floor awkwardness and game humor is familiar territory for the New Zealand comedy group, whose Bored series builds sketches around electronics-store employees. The comment section is already more than three times as busy as a usual first day, before the first day is finished.

Customer dodging also has company on the upload shelf. "Stopping a robbery" is another unusually fast-starting sketch, with Rowan insisting that his employees stop at nothing to catch a robber. Between the two, avoiding one customer and pursuing another become very different workplace assignments.
