🎬 The Video That Has Sydney Talking
A parody video about real estate agents by comedy duo The Inspired Unemployed has set social media on fire this week, with Sydney’s eastern suburbs buzzing over the brutally honest (and hilarious) skit.
-
👨💼 Matt Ford and Jack Steele dropped the clip on Instagram, imitating slick property agents strutting through luxury mansions.
-
💬 Their outrageous lines included:
-
“We lie for a living.”
-
“We cheat on our wives.”
-
“We’ll tell you anything you want to hear.”
-
-
🚗 They also mocked the cliché of agents leasing flashy supercars just to impress clients.
-
🔖 The clip was cheekily tagged with: “Honesty is the best policy.”
The parody has been described as “so accurate it hurts”, with fans flooding the comments section and tagging their mates – many of them real estate agents at Ray White.

📢 Social Media Reaction
The video instantly went viral, sparking a mix of laughter, banter, and a touch of discomfort for those in the industry:
-
🏆 “Surely the best video of the year award.”
-
😂 “So accurate it’s not funny.”
👉 While many viewers assumed it was aimed directly at Ray White agents, it’s important to note there’s no suggestion the video was targeting the brand or its staff.

😬 Not Their First Controversy
This isn’t the first time The Inspired Unemployed have pushed boundaries:
-
📺 Last year, the pair faced backlash after a feminist talk prank in Sydney went wrong.
-
🎤 Jack Steele, disguised as a “special guest” panelist, made off-colour remarks like “chicks dig consent” and “I really like girl writers.”
-
😡 The audience – there to hear serious voices like Clementine Ford, Antoinette Lattouf and Yumi Stynes – were left upset, with some leaving the event in tears.
-
🎥 It later emerged the prank was filmed for their show (Impractical Jokers), with Steele being fed lines via an earpiece.
🏡 Why This Video Matters
Love them or hate them, The Inspired Unemployed have nailed one thing:
👉 Real estate stereotypes are alive and well – and people can’t stop talking about it.
With property prices soaring, commissions under scrutiny, and trust in the industry often questioned, this parody hit a nerve that was as funny as it was uncomfortable.
