“The Diary of a Frustrated Interview”! Watch the Funny Video on the Travails of a Job Seeker by Jide & Debayo Rotilu
Posted on Wednesday, February 27th, 2013 at 11:34 AMBy BellaNaija.com
We watched these videos and we laughed so hard. We just had to share! The interviewer must have been sent from the deepest recesses of hell to torment the main character – “Jide Kanni“.
Titled “The Diary of a Frustrated Interview“, this series is “an experimental comedy sketch created by FiveFourMedia and Lagos Central Productions. It’s a satirical look at how our extremely ‘busy friends’ in HR handle job applications and interviews. This first Season follows the quest of a job applicant “Jide Kanni” and his ordeal through a series of 5 highly depressing NIGERIAN Interviews.“
The Diary of a Frustrated Interview was written and produced by MTV Africa Music Award Winner Jide Rotilu and his brother Bayo Rotilu founder of Twelve05Photography.
Jide loves experimental skits and comedy sketches with various influences ranging from ‘Saturday Night Live’ sketches to ‘Family Guy’. He writes as a hobby and founded Lagos Central as an informal satirical writing hub and FiveFourMedia as the Creative Technologies and Production outlet. Over the past decade he has worked on other shorter skits including ‘O’Jonah Twist’, ‘Aunty Chidinma, where’s my Breast Milk?’, ‘Kini big deal spoof’ Jide is NOT a fan of HR Departments.
Debayo Rotilu is that fun loving guy who enjoys living life to the fullest. He’s got a background in computing and project management and he is currently the founder and the senior photographer at Twelve05 Photography. He’s also not a fan of the HR department and decided to join the movement with his brother produce the diary of the frustrated interview series.

Now THIS is Funny. I was already laughing but when he switched both the office AND hallway lights off is when I lost it. Very nicely done. In part 5, after Jide opened the window, Mr. Interviewer’s tie changed. Someone dropped the continuity ball.
Wow….this is very creative. Well done guys!!!

interview from hell. can anyone tell us of this really happens to people who go for job interviews?
Yes it does happen it has happened to me before dear . Something very similar my interview dates got changed three times I got there and the manager postponed the date the next time I got there I was made to wait for 6 hours an interview scheduled for 12 o clock took place at 6 o clock in the evening. When I finally had the interview it was for just 15 minutes. Some interviewers are just from hell!
eya. ndo, pele. that’s just rude.
Did you ever work with Tonto Dike??
First of all…”introduction” …First of all…go down low
Q:Don’t you even know Olamide??

why were they saying “autoMonous” tho”? Guess they meant to say autoNomous. just wondering. I really want to believe this was done just for jokes.
Good job guys!its damn too funny and different from the rest.
Thank you sir, God bless you sir, It is well sir…bwahahaha,bare jokes!
**dead** hahaha….my ribs…. ooooo my ribs….”first of all” “go down low” “introduction” hahaha!
I think that this video highlights a very important issue – many young people are exploited because of the limited availabilities of jobs and opportunities. Kudos to these guys.

Really nice…….good job guys!!
First Of All.go down low…

Love, tolu *smile*
P.s: Omigosh… It’s jide nd bayo!!! #excitedmuch. They were realyy smething else back in school.
CU alumni doing great things as always *wink*

this stuff is crazily funny
ohhhhhh!!! am in the office….i can’t laugh well (so frustrating) lmao!!! I so love Jide’s looks of disbelief.
LMFAO!!!!!! These guys are naturals! How did they manage to do all that with a straight face????? *Did you work with Tonto Dike, Do you know Olamide, Can you sing the NTA tune, Can you dance azonto????* *rolling*
This was obviously inspired by the SAHARA interview late last year. Surprised no one has made that comment yet. They actually made us dance azonto and do so many other things. The interviewers even laughed when you got a question wrong. Funny skit, but the reality wasn’t funny for those that attended the SAHARA interview
