Sky recruits Jack and Michael Whitehall to work at its helpdesk
The funny spots see the comedian have to explain what ‘Cod’ (Call of Duty) is to his father.
Sky Broadband has put Jack and Michael Whitehall in the hot seat and enlisted them to work at its IT helpdesk.
The father and son duo think they have all the answers, but it transpires that they are, actually, completely clueless.
In one clip, Jack is heard saying to his father that it is nice to have Minions in the office, to which the elder replies that he shouldn’t call the people that work at Sky that name. In another, the standup hilarious tries to explain to Michael about various video games.
