Seen a few of these in my time.
This is the latest one doing the rounds.
I don't know why they make my heart sink but they do. This will soon be shown in every client meeting as a 'break the ice' type joke, I'm sure. Ho ho ho. Aren't we so unreasonable. Everything is shit. Ha ha!
Great.
But this one can be viewed a little differently. This vid doesn't just show what twats clients can be. It also shows what twats creatives can be.

That ball-less creative doesn't once argue. If he gave a shit about his work he would have fought for it. That's part of the job. That's the stomach ulcer bit: the fighting. That's what makes us good or bad. It's no good looking exasperated and beating your wife up when you get home. The word "no" is allowed.
This video is not a good example of how annoying clients are. It's a good example of why it's important that creatives fight for their work.
That video is a good example of why clients should want their creatives to be difficult. It's our responsibility to defend our work in order to give the client what they need.
NB
Where were the suits in that video?

Wow. As funny as that is, some of those characters (and scenarios) are frighteningly familiar.
Especially convenient silences and surprise guests in meeting rooms.
it's well crafted, that's for sure.
my two favourite details are "so if you turn to page 16 of your brief"
and i also like the bit where the male client, so well casted, talks with his fucking mouth full like jabba the hut.
ridiculously incompetent bimbo that you wouldn't mind putting one through despite being impossibly irritating is well casted too.
ooh ooh, that's given me an idea for a post next week. my least favourite thing that people do when messing your work up.
