Video: Republic of Telly’s 12 Years of Job Bridge bit was pretty damn good

Based on the true story of some poor bastard.

Based on the true story of some poor bastard.

The Republic of Telly team have been hitting it out of the park this season, with last night’s Cartoon Battle sketch one of the best of the entire programme’s history.

But last night’s episode also included a parody of 12 Years a Slave that came with a large dollop of satire on the Job Bridge scheme.

Being funny, while making some very good points about Government-created schemes, is tricky so fair play to the folks involved.
