what i've learned; Karl has a +5 to his charisma rolls
I mean.. that's basically the selling point of the whole channel, innit?
He rolls with advantage every single time.
Either that or wisdom
No, he has expertise in bullshit.
That's basically all northerners
I love the line
"I am very sorry, it was my job to sell you more stuff, and i was very good at it"
I love the two sandwiches story
Sometimes, you do just need a second sandwich
what happens when you need...a third sandwich?
I want to meet that guy. Hero.
A hero sandwich
I make my sandwiches with butter and I gotta tell you, a sandwich with cold butter and salami fresh out of the fridge and a sandwich with soft room temperature butter and salami are two completely different sandwiches. Sometimes I will make two salami sandwiches because I want the experience of both versions. Life is for living, ya know?
I was lucky enough to learn this at a young age. I've always had 2 sandwiches since the age of 18
I used to work at a liquor store. The vendor who sold Moet was one of the most jaded dudes you'll ever meet. When i asked him how that champagne is pronounced, he shrugged and said "I pronounce it MONEY."
2 sandwich guy has reached nirvana
Honestly the time he isn’t in the hotel sounds miserable. Either his house is too small or his wife is too… something
Hobbit logic at its finest
2 sandwich guy definitely had someone hidden in his closet.
@@AndyDPhelps not necessarily, he might just be that considerate
2 sandwich guy is jake the dog
Thank you for spreading the Moët truth as a former high end bartender it still to this day gets on my nerves when people mispronounce it!
The two sandwiches bit is kind of like "second breakfast" from LOTR. 🤣🤣
The second sandwich is a revolutionary idea. Its almost as good as second breakfast. Plus as someone who has worked in sales I am thoroughly impressed with Karl and his technique of malicious kindness. Creates a pleasant evening for the wife and gets to relish in the frustration of the miser.
Shout out to the guy who convinced Karl that he wasn't committing adultery in a hotel room.😂
I honestly believe that that man, just wanted to watch the football game in privacy without his wife nagging him about watching the game >.>
I laughed so hard at the 2 sandwich one, that guy is a legend XD
I've worked in the restaurant industry for years. You waiters are a different breed. I couldn't ever deal with people like yall do it blows my mind. They would've be thown out the window for the more mild things i hear about them saying to my people.
Never mind that 2 sandwiches is a great idea, that is my new phrase for sometimes you just have to prepare ahead and take care of yourself regardless of weird social conventions, and then be content.
Sometimes, you've got to have two sandwiches.
That purple tie is a vibe 🎉
I had to comment about the sandwiches! I have been getting funny looks from friends and store clerks for ordering two sandwiches for over ten years. I feel so justified right now. Thank you!
Upselling to people who can afford it: literally my favorite thing to do at my job.
I work at a music store and get people always buying $3000 guitars, but trying to squeeze every single penny from me. So I make up for it by "throwing in" a cable, strings, cleaning cloths, humidity packs, picks, and other silly things that are pretty much all profit. In all reality, I discount the guitar very slightly and charge 100% on all the accessories. End up making huge tickets with tons of small items and puffing up my stats. I love it.
I absolutely love this first story. Those same douchebags used to order pinot gris instead of pinot noir from me and get upset that it isnt red. Then of course i must have heard them wrong... yeah
..
That first story show us that Karl can hustle
wow, Karl freshens up really well.
Second sandwich guy knew what was up.
Gives me the same vibes as 18-25yos realize: "I'm the adult...😑 which also means... 😐😯😲 I can have ALL the cake! WHENEVER I WANT! 😃"
One day, I'm gonna buy myself a birthday cake just because I'm craving it. 😋
When I worked in a restaurant, the owner obviously wanted to get with his manager so badly, he set up competitions to praise and reward her. He once did “who can sell the most bottles of wine” of this particular brand. It was rigged from the start, as the manger would do wine nights and be in control of who had access to what supply’s. The winner would get a meal out with the owner himself. Like I said he was desperate for a date and more with his manager. When I started my shift, she had already sold 12 bottles and no one had sold a single 1. But much to my delight, this really rich man came in with his family to celebrate a purchase of a new house. I ended up selling him every single one of those bottles and made out I was getting them in just for him and no one else would be offered them. He gave me a £200 tip that night too. When the owner found out I had sold them all and won the competition, he cancelled it and said it was never real and was all a cleaver ploy to get us to work harder. This was like his 4th competition and every time the manager won (through it being rigged) she got the prize...
you sir or madame have amazing stories and i want to hear more
Hospitality is rough, hope everyone who are still working the floors and tables are doing alright and remember to take breaks
I love how the northern/southern elite/plebeian dynamic is completely swapped between the US and UK. 😂
Karl goin high risk high reward with his server experience lol, whatever worked I guess.
I worked at a certain international Tex Mex chain and we had a tequila we sold for $20 per shot and my sales pitch to young couples on dates was to list off all the tequilas then say “oh we also have Don Julio 1942, but it’s $20 an ounce and I can’t even afford that one”. Made the sale every time.
This, the Skeleton, Action Man and Karl around a campfire....with allot of Alcohol!! 🤣😎
Skele-Bob*
Brad's *really* channeling some Donnie Darko talent show interpretive dance realness there. 🤣
15:00 it is super easy to upsell to people, by reading the situation and "reminding" them that they WANT this.
that first clip reminds me that Karl's genius is on another level
im american, please dont change a thing, i honestly dont get alot of the cultural references. so i google em. funny content and makes me wanna educate myself more. love the work guys keep it up!
Karl clearly plays fallout with his charisma maxed out this man got a silver tongue got them hooked in this deal
The suit goes hard
Karl always looked like one of the blokes who'd go out and have a smoke with the kitchen staff.🍻
This has nothing to do with the video but I recently played the mass effect trilogy because of this channel. Chefs kiss
plot twist: karl has trolled everyone with the moët thing
This is awesome also cleaned up well
My mom a bar tender in the French quarter in New Orleans,on a bad night she would make $150 in tips but Friday/Saturday she would bring home $1,500 each night
now i just want a video series where karl walks around bullshitting and scamming people like a street performer.
We may never know who was this man, who was so wise in the ways of sandwiches. His wisdom is at least preserved forever.
Bro just big chilling in the back at the end😂
Sandwich guy is a legend 😂
This is what it looks like when you put all your points into Charisma and Wisdom
He is now known as the “Wine Witness”, “The Wine Shark”, or “The Wife Charmer”.
3:19 I worked at a pier carnival for a summer when I was 15 and I got in trouble for calling people in and when they talked back or got witty at me I tried to turn the dart game into a bet with no real stakes and they would come pay and play and if they won I gave them the prize and like coffee change and if I lost and that was hard because I got good with the bad darts and learned the game because I could play for free, a one time bet didn’t hurt to bad if I lost but the owners got mad when they heard me banter with a huge group of young adults one of who was a hockey player with my sister so at that moment it wasn’t a random group lol
They didnt ask for a hero but they still got one, good on ya Karl 🤣
That end bit was brilliant! 😂
Thank you! 💝
OMFG, the Patreon bit fucken KILLED me!
The spicy mug prank golden, really touched your American
As much I love the klassic karl with a beer outro, this is fuckin' hilarious for its parody of "serious" patreon outros. Brad holding a pint next?
I used to do the 2 sandwich thing but with 2 cups of tea so I didn't have to get up and make another one when I finished the 1st
You mean to tell me that not everybody knows about the second sandwich thing???
The two sandwich guy found the secret to true happiness.
I abso-frickin'-lutely believe in Sometimes you just have to have two sandwiches... do it all the time myself
That first story was gold.
£40 in tips sounding good is funny. I’m working events in the US rn and I’m making $30h/r with around $500 a night in tips. Events are easy fucking money.
Reading through the comments, I am quite surprised a 2nd sandwich isn't more common. I always order 2 sandwiches and have for years. 1 is just never enough.
As an American, we are born knowing about the second sandwich revelation. Literally anytime I get fast food, it’s one meal, and then one lil extra sando
What I find funny about the "fake £20 note" story is that even if it _was_ real, paper notes haven't been legal tender for nearly a year now.
(yes i do know that the video originally came out in 2017, i still find it funny)
13:44
You just reminded me of one time when I upsold a hamburger patty at mcdonalds.
SO, I'm sitting there, 5 hours into a 3-11, bored as shit on back cash, when my friend hops on the headset and dares me to upsell a reg patty (patty for non-specialty i.e. angus/bigmac burgers) at some point in the shift, bets me 1$ I can't do it. I say easy money and take the bet. Next guy that comes through, orders a mcdouble meal and a milkshake, I ask if he's got any plans for the night, maybe he might want a mcflurry or something for later. He tells me no, he's just gonna watch whatever sports game was on that night with his dog, maybe have a beer, but he doesn't like ice-cream. So I say ah yes I understand, read back his order to him to confirm I have it right, and ask "by any chance, might I interest you in a reg patty this fine evening?" I had to explain what the lingo meant of course, but he says yes! He says his dog would love the treat, and I made sure to mark in it the POS system as a no onion patty, because I don't think dogs are supposed to have onions.
I never got the 1$ from my coworker but I've since used the experience to leverage my up sale expertise in an interview and got the job :D
Damb don't get the clam chowder if karl is serving 😂
I respect the shit out of Karl
What a nice suit
I think this was my favourite video yet
I LOVE human psychology.
Caaaaaaarrrrrl, that isn't a tip, that kills people.... Caaaaaaaarrrrl
God these make me so happy
I really don’t get the 2 sandwich guy. I’m a greedy prick so I just eat 3 sandwich’s at a time anyways.
_so revolutionary_
I'm so happy to see this video! Apparently a week ago I dreamed that Karl had unexpectedly committed suicide like so many great comedian before him and I was heartbroken think it was real until I this video was suggested to me! Please, I want to go back to dreaming about B-movie versions of my tsunami dreams involving a mafia owned steam powered boat pizzaria, let me out of this realistic dream hellscape!
Funny as always.
First time seeing Ashley. Thought she had big glasses and was short, like a squat librarian.
Walked past Karl on the street. Probably thought I was a weirdo because I just sort of looked at him. Barely recognised him at first. So by any chance Karl does see this, sorry if I came across like a creep, it just took me a while to realise it was actually you 😂😂
Would it help to know that you aren't the only person who did this recently. Even funnier is when I saw him i was listening to a Fact Fiend video 😆😆
Today Psychologie with Mr Karl Smallwood
wtf hahaha silly outro was genius
Maybe its just me but the stories are just so aggravating for me because it reminds me of the few times I used to save up to go to some fancy place and the waiter just tries to upsell me stuff and won't take 'no' for an answer and eventually I have to tell them that I can't afford anything outside what I order or I will mess up my budget.
I also used to work for an agency at a racecourse bar. I was good at it, but the bar manager wanted me to stay on his bar and I think they only let attractive women work the champagne bar (I am neither attractive nor a woman) so never had this experience. I definitely saw people ordering champers that was far beyond their means to impress women, but they usually weren't the posh twat type. The bar I worked on was for people who had the second cheapest tickets, so not the complete riff raff but also not the really rich people. Generally more of a middle aged crowd.
Maybe I would have gone up to a better bar or even a box if I'd stayed there but the agency contact went AWOL and I moved to another city to avoid the job centre forcing me to do unpaid work experience (despite having a job, I still had to go to the job centre every week)
We know. But nobody who drinks Moët actually pronounces it like that (i.e. the correct way).
Karl is the type of person who is the reason I don't dress up in public.
Legendary energy 😂😂😂
I did not know you had Jack Black on your team.
Understanding psychology can make you seem unstoppable.
Pretty sure the two sandwich guy was Jesus.
This episode was so funny
“30th birthday is crazy”
Love this videos
Okay so I once tried the wine thing. Kind of.
Story time
So I was serving, and this group comes in six or seven people. Not uncommon but Annoying. They come in and I get them seated, ask for their drink orders and this guy asks for a round of this very specific wine. So I say okay. I go back to our upstairs drink station, ring it all in, and someone ELSE fixes my tables drinks. Instead of pouring what I put in for, my manager pours a glass of a much cheaper red wine and doesn’t tell me about it.
I serve the drinks and right as I’m about to walk away the guy speaks up and tells me “this isn’t *insert bottle name here* “ I tried to assure him that it was, telling him that “I don’t believe my manager would make such a mistake as she’s the one that pours the wines” so he gets up and follows me to the drink station…. Turns out this guy makes wine for a living… the wine he asked for…
Wait those are the same champagne’s?!?! I thought they were different because of how no one corrected the wrong pronunciation!!😂😂😂😂
I swear to God I have heard these stories from Carl before, and I thought this was from 5 years ago, is this a re-post?
I was divided on whether I had heard the Money Story before, but all the others I knew what was happening before he explained it to the Nth
It's a "Best Of" compilation so yes they're stories he's told before.
@@jordyboy62 I didn't see that in the title and his clothing didn't change I believe he's just re-telling them all at once, not a complication of old cups my dude.
That first story either ends in you getting money, or you getting fired
This is such a fact fiend way to win 😂
You’ve already had a sandwich
We’ve had one yes, but what about second sandwich?
The only way to win is to not play at all, mr. littlehog
Carl is a low key chad
Love it. Legend
good for me, im only a douchebag with a mere stable income
Karl may have that smallwood, but he sure doesn't have that smallcharisma.
Love your content y'all
Karl had all the jobs
Karl would be a good drug dealer lol
The pet peaves people can develop always amazes me. Carl putting a rich guy in a spotto spend more than he wanted because Carl fellt the rich guy wasnt giving his wife a good enough day out on the town is kinda funny and annoying.
The day i asked them to cut my footlong and wrap them seperatly, my life changed forever.
how many jobs did he work
I love Karl's stories and vengeance on arseholes 😂😂
