Uncle Gilbert Hates Go.Compare!

Uncle Gilbert Hates Go.Compare! is an upcoming Vimeo skit written and directed by Rebecca Leonard. This is a crossover video with the heavily-hated British financial services comparison website GoCompare.com.
==Plot==
Uncle Gilbert (Phil Collins) was having a regular morning, watching his favorite episodes of Invader Zim, Lizzie McGuire, and Gary the Rat, until he sees a GoCompare.com advertisement taking place at a Burger King in London. In the commercial, Arta (Rita Ora) wonders what Sakura (Rina Sawayama) will do in the event of Gio Compario (Wynne Evans) ruining their day. The minute the commercial shows Gio Compario singing the opening lines to GoCompare.com's theme song, Uncle Gilbert burns with an angry rage and turns the TV off before recalling his experience with Area 51, comparing it to "boring" opera and "dull" classical music.
Uncle Gilbert packs his suitcases, rounds up three Furbies, heads to the Philadelphia International Airport, grabs several snacks and a beverage to take on the plane, and flies to London in order to start his mission. Upon arrival, he checks into Crowne Plaza and settles in for the night and turns the TV on in hopes of finding a good show or film to watch. Instead, the TV displays another GoCompare.com advertisement, this time taking place at the beach. Hannah (Emma Muscat) and her dad (Norman Reedus) praise the warm weather when Hannah's brother Lyle (Nicholas Collins) is about to warn them against Gio Compario. Lyle is interrupted when Gio Compario sings the opening lines of the GoCompare.com theme song from a distance. Hannah, Lyle, and their dad exclaim in fear and run away. A terrified Uncle Gilbert panics and turns the TV off again before telling the viewer that he smiles on the day Gio Compario is "gone for good". In order to plan ahead, Uncle Gilbert makes what he calls a "victory drink", containing ice, strawberries, and orange juice. He pours the victory drink into a red plastic cup, puts it in the fridge, sits down with a bowl of pretzels with a Monster Energy drink, and turns the TV back on, this time showing an episode of a telenovela-esque series, where Inés (Charlotte Summers) states the reason Alejandro (Shawn Mendes) is Conchita's (Isabela Moner) girlfriend is because Alejandro is "easy to manage". Conchita opposes to this, calling Inés a freak. Inés' father Damián (Olivier Minne) tells Conchita not to talk like that to Inés ever again, saying that Inés is very sensitive.
The next morning, the fictional Tesco Super Arena, whose exterior is the State Farm Stadium, has a poster advertising Gio Compario's concert with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Layla Tonoyan later that evening, much to Uncle Gilbert's anger. In order to get the show cancelled, Uncle Gilbert uses drawings to tell his Furbies how the mission to get rid of Gio Compario will work. Nine hours later, a double decker bus stops outside the entrance to the Tesco Super Arena, where a tour guide (Joely Collins) introduces passengers to the venue. Uncle Gilbert and his Furbies get off the bus, carrying boxes of eggs and tomatoes that serve as weapons to defeat Gio Compario. In the stadium's corridor, Uncle Gilbert reasons with Gio's bodyguards, Benji (Atsushi Satō) and Leopold (Edward Bosco) on why he wants to get rid of Gio and make sure GoCompare.com files bankruptcy. In the dressing room, Gio Compario is searching for his bowtie, only to be approached by a battle-ready Uncle Gilbert. A terrified Gio Compario thinks Uncle Gilbert is an intruder, and Uncle Gilbert informs Gio that intruders send "worst nightmares" into a black hole. The Furbies attack Gio has Uncle Gilbert throws eggs and tomatoes at GoCompare.com's nuisance. After Gio is almost fully covered with rotten tomato sauce and egg yolk, he's dragged into a blackhole by Uncle Gilbert. Once Gio disappears completely, Uncle Gilbert closes the door to the blackhole, smashes it into pieces, and tosses the key in the trash. Benji and Leopold search for Gio, only to figure out that Uncle Gilbert sent Gio into a blackhole. From the back of the Tesco Super Arena, Uncle Gilbert pulls out a megaphone and orders everyone to leave the venue. With Gio Compario's show at the Tesca Super Arena having been cancelled, Gio's bodyguards move on to a different life.
The following day, Uncle Gilbert and his Furbies check out of Crowne Plaza early in the morning, catch a plane back to the United States, and throw a good riddance party now that Gio Compario is gone for good. Uncle Gilbert is convinced the United Kingdom has better financial companies, then reads a headline on his phone about him sending Gio Compario into a blackhole and GoCompare.com going out of business, thus leading to victory.
