"rather than trying to make a good impression, you're trying to create a good expression" Dang. That's good advice

*lady looking at books in a bookstore* "do you like books?" lmao i lost it.

I thought the "do you like books" comment was hilarious! It was witty in its own right

"do you like books" was funnier than all of the actual jokes

"Wouldn't go up there mate, bit boring it's full of books." Ahahaha. :D

I love how your advice is more lighthearted and rooted in compassion rather than the lecherous vibe that pick up artist videos put out. Seriously, this is awesome!

I was dying when he said" I wouldn't go up there, it's filled with books"

Dictionary joke made my day.

step one of seeming more witty: sound british

I think its sad I'm searching this

I don't think this guy really gets bookshops -"look around at all the bored looking people reading books"

Who else has offensive humor

That “Do you like books?” in a book store made me die of laughter 😂

*do you like books ?* i died 😂😂

"do you like books"😂😂😂😂

Does anyone else have a hard time understanding someone whispering in a British accent??

Hey Marcus, After discovering your videos tonight and watching several of them in continuation with(out) particular order, I wanted to stop and not only thank but encourage you to continue to deliver your insight, work and knowledge on the things you talk about. Your lessons delve into subjects that cover many different psychological fronts and I think it's important to note that with use of the internet you are distributing great understanding and all in all bettering the people who engage with your content. I only say this as this relates to me and I will accurately assume it applies to others. Please continue to be who you are.

The world needs humor now more than ever.

I really liked the dictionary one lol

This was really good and helpful. I realized when my humor is too serious or unfunny or when to switch it up. Thank you!

If I were at a book store and a guy came up beside me and asked if I liked books, that would honestly make me laugh. 😂

I love this channel. The real-life aspect is fantastic; so entertaining and inspirational. Thank you :-)

It's really great, perfect

'Expressing yourself' - right on! love it

Great videos Marcus, thank you. They're really helping me a lot. I would really appreciate it if you could do a video exactly like this again in a bookstore, and make it about tips to add more excitement and energy to your facial expressions in conversation? (I really struggle with this, because I'm a really calm person and I think I project my conversations to be dull and boring, and I really need some tips on facial expressions and voice tonality to help me out). Thanks for your time.

the dictionary one got me haha

Good to see you back Marcus

Thanks man! I did this about 20 years ago, whit a much older married woman and it worked! Then few years later the Game came along (pua's) and i got lost in this war of marketing between the routine guys and the so called naturals. This video is great man!

I watched this video ages ago, annd now I'm coming back to be re-inspired by this all over again. It's how I found this channel. mman I wish they still uploaded, their stuff was incredibly helpful!!!!

Thank you for this video. I liked how you not only gave your advice but also put it into action. Subscribed, sir!

Hi Marcus, just passing by to say that you had here the best channel on this topic. I hope you resume your videos soon!

Great content. Fun viewing. Last sentence was brilliant! Look forward to experimenting 😂

"The Dictionary" sounds like a badass action spy film.

I really love who you are bro, and to think i could have found your content all of 7 years ago. really solid advice and steps, thank you

Book upside down. Flips over. That makes much more sense, unlike my life.

Way to go! I love this, especially that if a moment in which you could but didn't talk to somebody pases, later you find yourself in a similar situation and use the line or witty remark that you felt bad for not using in the first place. On a sidenote your videos have been getting better visual quality which is great. Thumbs up for more videos in the future! ^_^

I see your digesting that book what flavor is it

If it's too clever, you run the risk of intimidating her. Don't ask a question or make an observation that doesn't leave room for a response.

Very useful! Please keep doing these videos :)

the dictionary line was a good one i havent seen before. ill try that next time im near a book store. thanks guy

“PENNsylvania call and wants it’s pens back” is what I said in my college library. Then sat down in the table across and pulled out my pen collection to rewrite my notes. (I’m talking 15 different colored pens)

I see you, stealing all the words out of that book for free =))))))))))))

Great stuff Marcus, agreed its all to do with whether you find it funny, and the vibe you have. The book upside down is a classic, have done that a few times and is definitely my fave :).

I looked up “Witty Banter” and I got this

Really good advice, do you think thinking in my head works or have to write it down

nice use of the four words of power in your videos

Bros in creative mode just using human experiments

"Rather than creating a great impression, you're creating a great expression"

Love these videos mate! Cheers from California

Honestly if someone asked me do you like books I would burst out laughing. I would fire back I can’t stand them I came here to glare into them so they know my hatred!

The hardest part about this would be actually walking up and using the lines on the people.

Iam investing in myself!

I love your videos! :) thanks so much for making these.

Great video Marcus, just next time please turn the music a bit down so I could hear the splendid charisma coming from your voice! 5Q + 5Q ..... ;)

timeless

I love this! thank you marcus

Fantastic content as always buddy! Keep em coming!

I loved the package one. It's made me giggle

I had to be patient watchin u.. funny for me....

0:33 You could probably do something with the Kama Sutra on the top left shelf

I come up with really silly shit to say in my head. I'd laugh at my own expense haha.

Nice video. Keep up the good work

The sound quality wasn't great, by I get your point thanks

3:25 made me laugh so hard

Some of these were funny and I’m stealing them

Instructions unclear, brain has gooped out of head

Heres my attempts...id prob never say them because i feel like they are all dumb but these are what id write if i actually wrote something in a bookstore... Why are all these dvd cases full of papers? Excuse me do you know if they have any books in here? Hey can you help me? How do you turn on the audio book feature? *Hold book to ear* Excuse me sorry to bother you but im not a very good reader... Can you help me with this word? *Open book and point to the "a" in a sentence. Hey is that book your reading the one about the guy who interrupts the woman reading so she can put her number in his phone and take her out for coffee the next day? (Then give her your phone in the contacts section.... Kind of a pick up line i doubt would work but still counts right?) Dont you just love bookstores? I certainly do... Except for all the book...

Delivery is key

brilliant

not many people can look so cute in that cap not even cats but you do ;D

* be funny * Me: searches "how to be funny"

it would be funny if you messed with people and get great reactions like how some pranksters like LAHWF, BigDaws etc. (they do simpler pranks like giving awkward compliments etc)

How to be a creepy cringelord in the library :)

Man once he put his lines to the test i couldn't understand a damn thing he was saying

I wouldn't be able to force myself to say these things, maybe I'm too self conscious?

Who the fuck goes to libraries anymore? Do libraries still exist? If they do then Phone booths do too.

its fine line between appearing idiotic and witty.....

Great. I learn nothing

Would be great to see the captions :(

lol that dictionary one was good :) I like this advice

Over in Canada, making a witty joke to a random woman in a bookshop gets you labeled as a rapist.

I love trolling people but i dont do it enough. I should do it more

I’m supes antisocial and shy, hence why I’m here. Would you say that trying out the jokes in person is really vital in the beginning? Or is it unnecessary, since the purpose is to think faster (I am pretty sarcastic and dry tho)

That was entertaining

was the sounds super low for anyone else, or just me? had my speakers turnt all the way up lol

Your not supposed to plan out your conversations! 😂🤦‍♀️

You're telling me to go to a bookstore with the intent of talking to strangers, sit down with a pad of paper and a pen, observe people trying to privately shop, then develop a funny thing to say to them so they will like you and talk to you? This is straight out of the book of an intense sociopath.

It's finally here!!!

If people say you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover why is it that people are always looking at its backside?

watching this made me think - why am i seeing this? have i become so lonely and jobless? Heck NO...

I think being light hearted is great but way way better if it’s spontaneous. The canned and pre planned lines really felt awkward, forced and fake

How about “that book is a dangerous one. Yeah yeah, I was reading it and then got a cut on my hand. Yep, page 87. Yeah, so I’m never going to cut vegetables and read books at the same time ever again.” Make a witty comment, make a paper cut expectation, then smash it with gold

your audio is small

It's a shame that the audio is so bad.

The best joke was stealing those for free

There's a lady reading a book...and also a guy picking his nose at 1:40...

Some of these felt preplanned and cringe but most are very witty and funny 👍

It's finally here haha

Okay, that's nice. But why not show us the follow up? Telling one joke and moving on doesn't accomplish anything.

So all I have to do is become a spy
