Are they still like this ?

Yes, these guys are English, as you can probably tell. Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse are two well known comedians here in the U.K.

Ha ha - yes car local dealership commercials (not national ads for a particular car make or model) are still pretty much like that.

I think the strategy is they want you to think they’re regular guys, or even buffoons, who you can out-smart or at least hold your own with or at least not get ripped off when you buy a car at their dealership.

Pretty edgy even for today. Not sure how it got allowed 50 years ago
