Brief Explanation

"It's in their nature" is a 30 second TVC which follows a rather flustered and exasperated young man who seems surprised at how his pet crocodile Brian is destroying his home, ruining his love life and chewing on his belongings. But of course “It’s in their nature”. The voice over then highlights the parallel between the situation unfolding where Brian the crocodile acts exactly as a crocodile should, and banks. As the voice over says “Don’t be surprised when your bank acts like a bank. They’re designed for one thing, making profit from you. If you’re not happy with that maybe it’s you that should change.”
