Harold Mccoo (The ladder fail guy) is the greatest salesman in the world!

I found this video a while back. I watched it, laughed, and then watched it again and laughed some more.
Here is Harold McCoo, trying to sell a flex-o-ladder in an infomercial from the 80s. Everything was going well until it was not.
After I stopped laughing, I realised that Harold was a really good salesman. He was really focused on his job, and he believed in the product so much that he decided to demonstrate it.
Even when something went wrong, he didn't get upset, didn't blame the product, and he handled the situation well. I don't know about you, but I'd hire Harold without a second thought!

After his spine was folded in half, the ladder was firmly locked in place.
