The two Johns use their "George Parr" sketch to explain the mindset of investment bankers "Everybody asking all sort of difficult questions...nit-picking like 'Where the money gone?'... as if I'm supposed to know," "Stupidity and incompetance...that's something we can be very proud of" and there is even a sketch based around the South Sea Bubble, showing how little we had learnt since the early 1700's. Rory Bremner spoofed Gordon Brown, Robert Peston, Dr Rowan Williams, and George Bush, and he has some good lines in his standup (or desk-bound) comedy, laughing at bankers around the globe while explaining the insanity of it all: "Stan O'Neil left Merrill Lynch with a heavy heart, but a heavier wallet." "I happen to know the White House is going to be repossessed any day now." There are apt comparisons with 1929 and the cautious 1950's as well.
