Danny Dyer gets schooled in butler service by The Fresh Prince’s Geoffrey
By Staff on Thursday, January 30, 2025
Danny Dyer has swapped the streets of the East End for silver trays and bow ties in a new video where he gets a crash course in butler service from none other than Joseph Marcell – aka Geoffrey from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Marcell, who spent six years playing Will Smith’s no-nonsense butler, is now putting Dyer through his paces, teaching him everything from formal dress codes to the importance of being available 24/7.
It’s all part of a new campaign from Sky Broadband, promoting their around-the-clock switching support for customers looking to escape bad contracts.
The video follows Dyer as he struggles with the finer points of high-class service, from mastering a bow tie to keeping his composure during afternoon tea.
At one point, he describes his physique as a “windowless shed” while attempting to fit into his butler uniform.
Beyond the comedy, the campaign taps into a real issue.
A study of 2,000 Brits found that 36% of people stick with bad broadband contracts, with 31% saying switching providers is just too much hassle.
