In Mr. Rudy Ayoub’s sketch “How car washes scam you”, flattery appealed to the fragile ego of his narcissistic dad

At all times, and perhaps especially in the darker moments of our lives, humour has a healing power. Thankfully, the latter is free of charge and widely accessible to all of us.

Likely like many of you, dear readers, Bambi loves Mr. Rudy Ayoub’s sense of humour. She is fond of his multi-talent as actor, writer, music and song composer, singer, dancer, oud as well as guitar player, and communicator, etc.

This sketch made Bambi think of Dr. Ramani Durvasula’s outstanding book, entitled “Don’t You Know Who I Am?”: How to Stay Sane in an Era of Narcissism, Entitlement, and Incivility (shown below). Indeed, this is the exact question that came out of the mouth of “Arab dad”? If you watch until the end, you will see how Tyler, the clever salesman, outsmarted Mr. Ayoub’s dad by appealing to his fragile ego. If Bambi is not mistaken, this interaction might be the first sketch when this happens. Hence Tyler’s final wink to us, the viewers : ).

Bravo and thank you, Mr. Ayoub, for another funny sketch, which could be easily used in a course on narcissism.
