Amazon Prime's Grand Tour 'Job Advert' Is Genius

Fancy a job involving “setting things on fire,” and “handling heavy machinery (badly)”? Are you good at reeling off metaphor after metaphor? Then Amazon Prime has just the job for you.

The video streaming service has put up a new job advert for a TV host in a “temporary position to cover an absence due to pneumonia.” Successful applicants will have a “strong knowledge of cars, metaphors and progressive rock music,” as well as “a proven track record in effectively dealing with colleagues that they find annoying and being lost in unknown locations.”

Being able to drive fast while talking to the camera is a necessary part of the a job, and doing so without crashing is “considered an advantage, but not essential (apparently).”

Being tall and having curly hair will help you further, and don’t even think about applying if you don’t have a “qualification in exaggeration and braggadocio.”

Amazon, we see what you did there.
