The Jerky Boys, album 1

Title: Car Salesman

Characters: Paul Rizzo

Summary:

The skit presents a comical yet bizarre phone conversation between two individuals named Paul and Paul Rizzo. Paul Rizzo calls inquiring about a salesperson job, expressing eagerness to sell cars but quickly reveals an aggressive sales approach from his past job in Middletown, New York. He boasts about his extreme tactics, including threatening potential buyers to make a sale.

Paul, taken aback and uncomfortable with Rizzo’s methods, tries to steer the conversation away from aggressive sales techniques. He emphasizes a more subdued and ethical approach to selling, stating that their company doesn’t operate in the manner Rizzo suggests.

Despite Rizzo’s insistence that his forceful methods work, Paul remains firm about the company’s values, ultimately declining to hire Rizzo. The conversation ends with Rizzo acknowledging the mismatch and deciding to try elsewhere, leaving the call on an awkward but humorous note.
