The guy is a total douche. But his argument is not without some merit. In his field, like tutoring, clients are often unsure of what they are getting, so first impressions mean a lot.

I spent close to $2000 to have my business card printed. It's from the same company that does cards for Steve Wozniak, the UN, and Bentley. They make great looking, classy cards. This in turn has helped me gain several clients who have made comments about how impressed they were with my business card. Since each of my clients pay me on average about $5000 per year, my business card has more than paid for itself many times over.

some of the people who leave those prostitute/anma cards around my street really need to see this video and get themselves some non-creasing pop-up business cards, ha ha. Cool

I can't stop watching. This guy is the perfect mix of Tony Robbins and Dwight Schrute. Hilarious. I'm still laughing, so thanks.

yeah...the guy speaks to the part of my heart that has always been meaning to make a business card.



....it's 4 dollars a card he can't be giving that card out to everybody and why did it take 25 years to make that card? I had a starwars pop-up book when I was a kid. I wish I would have thought about the genius idea of making it into my business card....

Besides Lee Hyori music videos, this is the only thing on YouTube I've watched in a long time. And I've not only watched it several times, but I emailed it to a bunch of my friends.

Why? Because it's hilarious! His mannerisms are the best. His obsession with business cards is at a level matched only by Patrick Bateman in American Psycho. Oh, the hilarity! Thank you, OP.

'It doesnt fit in a rolodex because it doesnt belong in a rolodex.'

That quote has changed my life.



(btw that is the ugliest businesscard I've ever seen)

Would love to bump into that guy at a party, sound interested, and then get his card, only to rip it in half in front of him....mentioning that it's the only way I'd be able to get it to fit in my wallet. What a schmuck.

Humourless little huckster.

"25 years to design"? and then that goofy childish pop-up card?? At that point I thought for sure this was a spoof. But everyone here and on Youtube thinks is genuine, so I guess it is.

Commenters seem to like the "rolodex" line, but my favourite comes at the very end.


I build crowds. Guaranteed! What do YOU do guaranteed?


The arrogance of the words is bad enough, but he says them in such a sneering, combative way. Wow.

I'm going to start adopting that same tone when dealing with clients.

Mix...

2 parts Arrogance
1 part Animosity
Stir. Garnish with Impatience.
