I'm starting to get soft in the head. I cannot remember the name of the asian dude who used to have the incredibly tacky commercials telling you how to get rich like him in the 80's. I remember he was on a huge yacht surrounded by big hootered white women in the commercial. It has been mentioned a few times here of the board so I know someone here remembers.

Come on help an old dude out

His name was Tom Vu



I found a video tribute of him here. Speaking of infomercials does anyone remember the name of the Seinfeld-looking motherfucker who used to scream "What are you waiting for? Get to the phone and call!"

Tom Vu Quotes

"Are you man enough to get off your lazy American ass and go to Vu’s seminars?"

"A lot of your friends will tell you, 'Don't come to the seminar. It's a get-rich-quick plan.' Well, tell them, it is a get-rich-quick plan because life is too short to get rich slow."

"Tom Vu says his system is different than other experts'."

"Okay. You've seen me make a lot of money. You've seen my students who are average people make a lot of money. Isn't is about time for you to go out and make a lot of money?"

"There's two kinds of work in America: hard work and smart work. Which one are you doing now?"

"This is not a country club! This is my house!"

"At first I got lots of discouragement from friends and stranger who are loser! You know what these people kept telling me? They kept saying, 'Well Tom Vu, you a crazy nut, here you are, a poor immigrant, poor minority, speak no English, no contact, on and on, and you trying to be rich in America! You crazy, man! Look at people out there! They smarter than you are, they not even rich! Who are you to try?' And you know what? I have to keep telling these people every time, I kept saying, 'You are loser! Get out of my way! I make it somehow!'

I actually saw him on ESPN a couple of months ago. He finished runner up in one of their WSOP tournaments they were televising. Kind of funny that the guy that beat him was named something like Sammy Wu.

I actually went to one of Tom Vu's seminars about twenty years ago. It was at some hotel in Midtown and I wanted to get out from the rain. Complete and utter bullshit.
