The MontyPythonsFlyingCircus sketch [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMOmB1q8W4Y Vocational Guidance Counsellor]] has a man who wants to change jobs, and has taken some aptitude tests to determine which one best suits his personality.  On learning that this job is chartered accountant, he protests that he already is one, and he wants to change because the job is so desperately dull.
->'''Counsellor:''' Yes, but you see, Mr. Anchovy, your report here says that you are an extremely dull person. Our  experts describe you as an appallingly dull fellow, [[LongList unimaginative, timid, lacking in initiative,]] [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech spineless, easily dominated, no sense of humour, tedious company and irrepressibly drab and awful.]] And whereas in most professions these would be considerable drawbacks, in chartered accountancy they are a positive boon.
*  "The Silliest Interview We've Ever Done" had Mr. Badger.
->'''Badger:''' My wife Maureen ran off with a bottle of Bell's whisky during the Aberdeen versus Raith Rovers match which ended in a goalless draw. Robson particularly, in goal, had a magnificent first half, his fine positional sense preventing the build-up of any severe pressure on the suspect Aberdeen defence. McLoughlan missed an easy chance to clinch the game towards the final whistle but Raith must be well satisfied with their point. 
->'''Interviewer:''' Do please go on. This is the least fascinating conversation I've ever had.
