opera used car salesman

I just saw this video of this guy standing in front of a Corvette at a used car lot and pitching it while singing opera

this used corvette

it was a dream to drive

it can be yours

for the small price

come here now

ask for Andrew

It was really good, the guy can actually sing. And it's funny because of the contrast and all. And someone in the comments was like 'Shame that this guy has to sell used cars instead of singing.'

Which is true and I agree BUT, at the same time, it is also absolutely true that if that guy was just straight up singing opera in a opera house, opera-style that same person wouldn't care. Not nearly as many people would care. 

It's why T-Pain sang with auto tune even though he can actually sing well. No one cares about another guy who can sing well.

It's why I put paintings on craigslist free stuff. 

The juxtaposition is more important than the parts themselves.

Don't be a big fish in a small pond. Or a small fish in a big pond. 

Be the right fish in the wrong pond.
