A Few Good Expenses

[manaliveblog]

great Jack Nicholson impression, and the Tom Cruise was uncanny.

[heathermyers890]

I am entertained, nice video..

[MrRofeliak]

OMG very good.  Favorited.

[Loritrygg]

Can I use this for an employee meeting? Great way to make a point!

[smeary10]

@Loritrygg absolutely. Go for it.

[BlueCamroo]

That monologue always lends itself to so many professions! Great stuff.

[JudgeSmails]

Genius.

[captaindrywall]

Very nice, good job. Get a special massage now.

[Carbuff2006]

Forgetting the militaristic conversation, I'm part of a sales force and this was FUNNY!!

[smeary10]

@Carbuff2006 - Thanks mate.

[multilexic]

A great video

[ProJanitor]

So good i wanna see that movie again

[mll7524]

Awesome!!!!

[parker2041]

Marines don't wear the Combat Infantryman Badge. Other than that, funny stuff.

[allMTN]

Geez, good catch! That makes you either a Marine or Soldier...

[parker2041]

Former Marine. Great video nonetheless.

[msustro]

And even if they did it's still on the wrong side of the uniform :)

[smeary10]

Umm, correct guys. Move on. You're missing the point of the video. I could share with you over a dozen anomalies on this video. Example, I'm facing the wrong way when shouting at Tom Cruise. So get over it boys.

[BulldogsofMN]

Oh wow - this is Rob McCormick from SAVVIS Communications Corp. Go to Wiki SAVVIS and look at the CEO and AMEX. $250,000 in one night.

[smeary10]

Yep. Heard about that one, Bulldog. Very funny. For everybody but him, that is. LOL

[aguilarjo]

Hi Smeary, We were wondering if there is a way to get the text of the entire speech.

We plan on honoring your wit by reenacting it in our next Sales Meeting with our VP.

[Kevskitube]

Absolutely awesome

[stanky212]

frickin brilliant.

[smeary10]

Thanks Stanky. Congratulations on being the first person from Japan to comment. I always have a look for interest. Cheers buddy.

Smeary

I believe the time has come for a sequel!

I suggest we ask the same people who have contributed such outstanding comments in this forum to provide some ideas.

* Should it be another scene from A Few Good Men?

* Is there a scene from another movie that would be funnier still?

* Is there a spoof script that relates to sales and business that someone has already written?

All ideas and comments welcome.

This vid just doesnt get old. I have been in sales over 25 years and this is just right on the line.

[bucksdude7]

Great Vid and Great Movie "A Few Good Men"

[fattytca]

What is Fleefew or whatever he called it??? I've been in sales for 15 years and I don't know what that is.

[smeary10]

Fleetview is a real time on-line billing and management system for corporate mobile (cell-phone) accounts. It was specific to the company I was working at when we did this skit. That's all.

[genomebasher]

I LOVE THIS. I have been in sales for 20 years and while I have never expensed lap dances I have been challenged on spending $5 on parking meters without a receipt. I hate marketing douchebags not only for their attitude but for the fact that they NEVER come into the field and speak with customers.

Rock on!

[11111FALCON11111]

Who do you think came up with the idea of this video?

[nomadicentre]

You did this skit? it's bloody amazing; it really never get's old. Bravo!

[smeary10]

Thanks Nomad.

[khaly5]

nice 1, bit nerdy, should have done one for us on Wall street!!

[smeary10]

I still might, mate. It'd have to free though. ;-)

[JahalomSjachor]

oooh you said my favorite word!

[jka7u8i9o]

Absolutely classic!

Thanks, err uhh, thank you SIR!

[groovy0803]

Best Sales Clip Since Glen Gary Glen Ross!

[ponybobreno]

This is one of the greatest parodies on

you tube..

GREAT JOB!!

[Samplio]

nicely done... 2 thumbs up!!

[Guinnie]

lapdances got em LOL

[retardslayer911]

niiiiiiiiiiiicccccce

[3DeathAngel3]

IF there were awards -- this should be a nominee if not a winner

[brewcitybroker]

very clever

[sddallas]

Only Oracle sales guys would do that

[Makola]

Did you enjoy the lap dances? DID YOU? LOL

[Kingofdetroit2004]

lol, an Army CIR pin on a USMC uniform.

[smeary10]

Well picked mate.

Sorry about that.

[leroyfarns]

As the great PT Barnum once said (well, I'll paraphrase), 'something terrible happens when you stop selling. NOTHING..'

[nilbud]

ROFL, sales are scum but marketing, now there's evil.

[bensonfan10]

No, "HR" - there's pure evil....

[nilbud]

Imagine how evil you'd be if you were in the HR department of a marketing company. It'd be a Dick Cheney kind of life.

[iamthetamster]

You wouldn't believe it's possible for anyone to laugh as hard as I did at this. Absolutely hysterically funny!

[highrank]

Pretty damn funny.

[redwolfe71]

Man, just had our sales meeting, this would have been a hit. love it.

[atownkenny]

Very good! Wish I could use at my next Sales meeting.

[jamesclear]

Smeary... Great stuff! We would really love to see more awesome sales related materials like this... Not only educational, but flat out funny!! :-) Thanks!!

[sdaviscu]

jclear's got it right!

[1SickBrick]

Smeary... Great stuff! Every Salesperson in America should see this!

[Todd7777777]

a great tribute to salespeople

[stuartwinter]

Lap dancers are an expensable item as long as a customer is with you - remember, we are only doing it for them, it's a cross we have to bear (or bare)

[Slackville]

Pappy - there I was at a sales kick-off at my new firm in the UK and suddenly you appear! Jesus, I travel 12,000 miles away and still can't get away from you. Mate, great to see you, guess you filmed this at last years sales conference just after I left. You should charge royalties. Hope you're keeping Strathfield sweet. Give my regards to Levy, Dealy and co - Marcus Slack

[laxkid275]

was this a real movie?

[toddrickvonmelvin]

lol!!!

[funkfixx]

Hey the man was just gooding his job!! Companies should lookout for employies who gets the contract with the help of a lap dance!!! This video is good.

[stovis]

Who let the British guy into the US Army?

[chrisdahlberg]

Thanks for the kind words man. I'm a big fan of this one too!

[alexshmalex]

Fantastic smeary! I have duly forwarded the link to my operations manager!

[no1joey]

brilliant.

[dc325ix]

freakin awesome

[ronpoz]

Fricken beautiful. Sounds like my office...

[ATLvideos]

Encore! Great job. My customers will love this.

[grantmaz123]

This is the funniest video ever for salespeople. I've shown it several times in my sales training. Thanks for making it.

[lcotis]

Curious if I can get a copy too - more importantly can I commission a custom version (just two small edits!)

[dbreen007]

any chance of being sent this as an email so I can show it at my next sales meeting? great clip BTW

[robok2]

I work in sales and take customers out for, yes, lapdances, among other things... No apologies, either. Nobody wants to pay sales but without us and our uneven moral compasses, there'd be no company or outrageous executive compensation, either...

Nicely done in my opinion, I enjoyed it and shared it with our group at work.

[bbathk]

LOL ~~so was the lap dances any good ?

[calamelnas]

hahahaha...this was AWESOME!!

[GTOJudge]

Loved it...

[TheDecidicator]

Gr8 job! This Sorkin/Reiner scene is open to a miriad of variations. Yours is very well done! I loved it.

[nasscar003]

nice work funny

[brigham999]

As a Salesman I think it's superb!! I sent it to all of our engineers and Finance people!!!!

[DanIlic]

I posted that comment halfway through the video (You.Tube Generation sorry) it's got a good payoff

[DanIlic]

I guess this is funny.. for those who understand accounting?... or sales

[TimeForTimer]

ABSOLUTELY HYSTERICAL!!!

(and true)

[msb8134]

So funny and so true!

[ralphparkhurst]

Loved it! :))

[megggsssss]

WOW. That is the funniest thing Ive seen in awhile. Great job! I will certainly keep this piece of advice tucked away

[bogeball]

great job!

[huckutube]

If you're a newspaper reporter, researching whore houses, you can expense lap dances.

[Farore3006]

I thought that was hilarious!!

[SLOeshaun]

nice job mate!
