This video ought to have a million views. I've been seeing people misusing this word a lot - it's _ubiquitous_ - and as someone who was actually a victim of gaslighting in multiple different instances (bullying, medical, and abusive relationship), it really pisses me off to hear people using the word "gaslight" as a replacement for the word "lie". It really minimises and trivialises what abuse victims go through and makes it harder for us to talk about it. It appropriates and bastardises the word we have to describe our abuse, which is very disrespectful (and, as you rightfully pointed out, also dangerous). It's the equivalent to saying you got rap3d when all that really happened was someone groped you, or saying that you're being bullied when in reality someone insulted you once and then never did it again. It's actually disgusting behaviour. It needs to stop. Also... Proud to be the first commenter on this video. Thank you for making it. This needs to be talked about.
This was insanely good. I cant believe you only have 170 subscribers. I would have thought this was made by a channel with over 2 million. Insanely good work bro. You’re gonna make it soon
A bad salesman will always blame anything or anyone then themselves. It’s a trait I’ve learned to identify early on, avoided them like the plague as a coworker and now will shitcan them as a manager.
That's a very good observation on these villains. The three would have achieved their dreams if they have taken a different path and be remembered as heroes instead.
I remember when I watched GGR being really impressed by the way the cast is so circumscribed (there are only six recurring characters, and all of them are either employees or clients of the same shady real estate firm), and yet their personalities are still so clearly defined. I.e., Levene is the nostalgic old-timer who's lost his touch, Roma is the hot-shot at the top of his game (though it's implied that it's only a matter of time until he turns into another Levene), Moss is the angry rebel, and Aaronow is the voice of reason and conscience. They're all sleazy real-estate brokers, but they're definitely not all the same kind of person.
I totally agree. I think this movie, with these actors playing these characters, is - if not cinema perfection - at least close to it. I like how you described the characters, too. I worked 25+ years in sales and I recognize them all. I'd classify them as: the Flash-Kid, the Burnout, Jekyll/Hyde, and the Plodder. Ricky's flying high, knows it can't last, and sees his future in Shel; so he lives in-the-moment, blatantly breaking the rules with nihilistic glee. Shel never was that good a salesman, sticking with programmed routines and insincere chumminess, and he finds he can't coast on his easy charm and past relationship with Mitch & Murray anymore. His collapse is painful to watch, but inevitable. Poor George is truly a Greek tragedy. As a Plodder he'll always be comfortably in the middle of the board, never on top, but never the bottom either. Sadly, he's also a Whine-Tit (my Mom's word), full of endless complaints and passive-aggreesive demands for validation. (I was a Plodder, too; and proud of it! Our reliable midrange sales paid the rent & phone bills) My take on John is he's bitter that with his business school degree he ended up here. He's a Plodder too, but seems to have something on Mitch & Murray. And his negotiations with Shel in his car proves he's learned a thing or two, no matter what Roma says. Oh, and Mr. Lingk is so uptight I always imagine him having a stroke as the credits roll Dave sounds very reasonable when he's trying to enlist George in his schemes, sympathetic, even. But, as his unhinged bellowing at the end shows, he's a classic ticking time bomb.
Helen appears to be the Parr family's bedrock, but what she really does is suppress the other family members. She doesn't let them be themselves! She strives for a united family, but on her own egoistic terms. And this results in misery and a dysfunctional family. She's the one who tries to hold the family together and meet their needs, but she doesn't realize that by trying to make them "fit in" and not allowing them to be who they truly are, she sabotages her own goal.
What I don't get is why Williamson gave Levine the Nyborg lead if he had called the bank months ago and found out "they just like talking to salesmen." Was he intentionally screwing with Levine?
Yeah, that was always my take. They're always at each other's throats, I figured John had a couple of "traps" like the Nyborgs set aside just in case. Like, he's obligated to get at least initial contact with most of the leads in a stack. Some will be guaranteed fails, but they still have to be called. So, save 'em up to hand whomever annoyed you last. Come to think of it, if he's been funneling most of the guaranteed busts to Levine, no wonder his sales are down! Moral: Always be nice to your manager, no matter how insufferable they are.
Great analysis, can’t wait for the next ones! I have seen this discussed before, but Syndrome kind of helped the Parr family with his obsession. They got to explore themselves and come together as a family again
At first, you sort of think the sales staff are just shit. Little by little, you get hints that the leads are a big part of the problem and the home office knows it. It's a game where they are set up to fail.

amazing video.. these Villains always got me thinking cuz i didnt hate em they where basically in childhood movies and i just needed to grow up and understand..
Looking at Monster Inc and the Fact my Dad works as the Senior Vice President for Shark I don't really see mr waternoose as a Villain just a guy trying to save His company and sometimes trying to save the things that matters means having to do the wrong things to save the things you care about and trying to short the problems the more extreme way even know it might not be right
Very insightful video. Never occured to me that Tai was just addicted to praise, but then again i was a child back then. Would've loved to see Tai in a different route as a good guy since he was a powerhouse as a fighter.
2:28 - so, from what I'm hearing here, these five women sued for wrongful discrimination from GW and could have based that discrimination on either sexism or racism, and somehow they utterly failed at both... yet their failed lawsuit is being used as an example to confirm _both_ racism and sexism in combination when it couldn't even get a conviction on either case separately? There's logic, there's logical acrobatics, and then there's logical acrobatics in zero-G.
