First thing Monday morning is a perfectly reasonable time to be reminded that we have to get out there and fight for what we want, you guys. Which, apparently, is to be the best at our jobs as salesmen of something. I did not know this, but did you know that we are all in a sales business? I never knew! Always Be Knowing That, you guys. Coffee is for people who knew that. Are you amped? Let’s just get a quick show of hands to see who is and who is not AMPED.

This week: let’s paint, exercise, fight, and convince Murray to give us the real leads, you guys. (Thanks for the tip, Ben.)

  1. Simmer down, Chad…I’m way too hungover for that level of intensity

  2. These guys know how to fight for what they want (but they are not interested in selling):

  3. OH MY GOD I’M SO READY TO GO GIVE ME A SECOND TO FIND MY SHIRT AND STUFF LETS SELL SOME SHIT!

  4. Always Be Vlogging

  5. Watch us EXPLOOOOOOOODE!!!

  6. This is one of many deleted scenes included on the “Slackers” BluRay.

  7. There’s so much sadness in his eyes.

  8. Show of hands for those NOT amped! Oh oh me me!

  9. Sales seems far too fighty for me. Is there any sales-related profession that is more hug-based? Or perhaps, if there must be some sort of altercation, it can be passive-aggressive comments about one’s sweater? Fisticuffs are not actually my strong suit, I fear.

    • Selling your paintings is WAAY more hug-based. Generally, you’re like, “Dude, you like my painting!”, and they’re like, “Yeah, so much so I want to pay to own it like forever!”, and then you exchange information and you’re like friends for life. I generally don’t armwrestle people to buy my paintings…. I save that for my boyfriend when I want to have sex. WHAT?! OOOOOOOOOOOOO!

      • Fuck that! You gotta FIGHT to sell your paintings! You gotta USE those brushes! USE that palette! You gotta MAKE ART HAPPEN! You gotta MAKE…ART…HAPPEN! Cause this world isn’t just going to sell art for you. Oh no. If you show your painting to someone and they say, “No thank you, I don’t need art right now,” you MAKE THEM BUY YOUR PAINTING! You THREATEN them with a WEAPON! You BASH the painting over their head! But you gotta MAKE ART HAPPEN!!!

    • HUG! HUG! HUG! HUG!

  10. Geez. I’d hate to see this guy on cocaine.

    • I think he is. I totally think that is what this is all about. Who the hell else is that amped about their sales job first thing on a Monday morning and then videotapes it???

  11. Once I finish some remodeling, I’m basically spending today lying flat on the floor because I am 95 and wrecked my back…can I “fight” by throwing a my goddog’s hedgehog?

  12. My hands are down ’cause I’m amped!

  13. No coincidence he’s from Texas, because that rickety old fence behind him is undoubtedly hiding a chainsaw massacre.

  14. You know what you should do, guys? You should get on Twitter and follow the Videogum twitter list: http://twitter.com/werttrew/Videogum (@werttrew on Twitter if you want to join). If you want to join, there are no requirements or prerequisites. However, I’d ask that you be sure to follow @videogum on Twitter and tell me your Videogum twitter name so I can keep track of who’s who on my list at http://werttrew.tumblr.com/post/232059116/videogum-monsters-list

  15. Now this kid is motivational:

    That guy sucks….real bad.

  16. Okay, now I’m just exhausted.

  17. this guy is TNTveryselly.

  18. Wow, the Director’s Cut of Money Never Sleeps is very different.

  19. This is the worst viral ad that I’ve ever seen for the Law & Order network.

  20. Okay, I’m amped. What next?

  21. I’d be willing to be good money that he slept in that car.

  22. I had a job once where we were supposed to sell this energy drink/ juice to people. The company would pick us up in a van at campus (I was in college) and drive us to local Malls where we would approach people walking to their cars. Right before they let the van door open, a “team leader” would give us a speech very similar to this video. They usually played Queen or Jock Jams in the van. By the end of my first day we were politely asked to leave my mall security. My the end of my first week we were banned from every mall in Allegheny County. I was never paid.

    • Probably because you didn’t take it with a fight! What, you think life is gonna just give you what you want? Like money for a task performed is a legal obligation by an employer? Sad to say my friend, but you’re no TNT.

  23. ok guys, who moved Chad’s Cheese?

  24. He’s so amped because he’s been sleeping in the car ever since they foreclosed on his home. But now he got his AC/DC tape back from his ex-wife’s house and he is ready to conquer the world, immediately after he bathes in the Wendy’s restroom off I-80.

  25. that’s so wierd, when someone mentions the name “Chad,” i always get a mental picture of a mid-level “salesman” coked up in his car on a monday morning making internet videos to get “amped” for a sale.

    Although, I sense a very different tone to his next video when he reads the recurring notes of “I found his manic energy off-putting” on his comment cards.

  26. Of course his name is Chad.

  27. I’m surprised Gabe didn’t make fun of his car or yard.

  28. i had to check my company roster search to see if i worked with this guy. my boss sent out a very similar voicemail to all of our sales people recently. only he had the decency to use “For Those About To Rock” instead.

  29. To be fair, the execution of this speech was much better when he did it in front of his bathroom mirror.

  30. Attention must be paid.

  31. We’re going to need a bigger cocaine.

  32. Shot on location outside his ex-girlfriend’s house.

  33. At the very very beginning he wipes something from his nose and kind of rolls it around in his fingers. What do you think it is, facebook friends?

  34. This guy speaks to me.
    I can do it. I can make things right. I can lead. FUCK. I CAN MAKE THINGS RIGHT EVERY
    SINGLE
    DAY!!!

    TNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

  35. We are TNT? Tits N’ Teeth!!
