Greek Last Names - Crazy Greek comedy skit!

Has anyone misunderstood your Greek last name before? A teacher, a boss or the dreaded phone machine? Then you'll definitely relate to a crazy Greek comedy skit like this.

In this video, all George wants to do is change his flight details - but the stupid phone machine can't understand his Greek last name. So what's a Greek man to do?

Does a Greek comedy skit like this one hit a little too close to home? They do for our Greek writer/producer/director Trish Koutrodimos who once, in a school assembly, had a teacher call her "Trish ... over there!" because he couldn't pronounce her Greek last name. Ah, ξένος ...

haha this very funny! Great acting george, God don't you hate those automated call lines!

Love your videos. This one is funny. Your actor is good.

Just a tip for future videos. I usually call the number given on screen (I decide during pre-production whose number will go on the script and we will show as an Insert shot. Usually my spare phone number or a friends number) and then take a screenshot while calling. In that way when the actor removes the phone their ears, the audience can see calling/talking instead of Apps.

The young guy on the phone looks Greek. He has the name nose as me, my father and my papou. Evkharisto poli.

My dad’s from Pella and he dealt with this constantly when he came to the US. My teachers in school never knew how to say my last name so they’d shorten it by saying “makro” 😂

I remember many years ago trying to book a holiday in Protaras, they kept asking where it was so I said just after Kapparis and Pernera .. no we don't have anything by that name. This went on for while then my nephew said tell them it's PRO-TARRR-RASS oh yes we have that.

Is Perni a Greek surname? I heard that Perni is a village in Macedonia and Thrace, if you now tell me please thanks!
