And frankly, like a lot of these people, we’re still trying to work it out. Here are some of our favourite responses online.

Have to admit I’m always tilting at windmills anyway but… I genuinely didn’t twig until about a minute in. I was thinking ‘Christ this is subtle – these guys are both ridiculous AND playing it absolutely straight’.

It’s just… wow. It had me second guessing myself. Just when I thought ‘oh shit, is this for real?’ the tall guy started talking and I thought ‘well he’s definitely a written comedy character’.

I'm struggling to choose my favourite. Weirdly I think they make a lot of sense, it's just their demeanor makes it so bizarre.

Was it the badges? I wasn't into the badges but I was outvoted.

The casting and wardrobe departments have really knocked it out of the park on this, I have to say.

Yikes. I'm post-menopausal and even *my* ovaries were trying to find a hiding place.
