Ali G's Ice Cream Gloves Pitch

I can't get enough of Ali G's "Ice Cream Glove" pitch.

There's a part in it where he's multiplying the number of Internet searches on ice cream and the number on gloves to get the value of his product. It sounds as absurd as some of the multiples people use to value Internet companies.

He explains his pitch to two VCs:
"Me did an Internet search for ice cream."

"Me did an Internet search for gloves."

"What did me get?"

"That is such a big number me couldn't fit it that way ."
(he shows the number running vertically on a white board because it's too long to run horizontally)

One of the VCs:
"This may be the worst idea I've ever heard."

Where, oh where, does he find these guys?
