The Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down (2006): Bouncer Training

The clip bouncer training from The Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down (2006)

There are three basic types of events that require some thought, or an invitation.
The club, the shi-shi bar, and the private party.
It could be a CD or film release.
A new hair salon, or an after-fashion show event.
The bouncers for each event can be distinguished by the folds of flesh
known as hot dogs on the back of their neck.
The private party bouncer, a one hot dog doorman.
The shi-shi bar bouncer.
Notice the two hot dogs folding up on each other.
And finally, the club bouncer.
A mature bouncer in his prime can maintain up to as many as eight hot dogs.
It's the sign of status amongst fully grown bouncers.
And it takes years of high-caloric eating to achieve this majesty.
Contrary to popular belief, bouncers are highly-trained professionals
who study their vocation for years at specialized training facilities,
like this one in Long Beach.
You show me how you would greet a patron.
Um, sorry. Not tonight. We got a private party.
That's it?
Yeah, she wanted to come in.
What the shit was that, man?
This is not customer service.
This is bouncer school, okay?
You gotta look like it. You gotta act like it. You gotta feel it.
Bouncing is a business fraught with contradictions.
The velvet rope, once the epitome of glamour,
is now found at the bank and the post office.
Folding your arms are good.
Right? Some posture.
Get some bass in your voice.
You look the person right in the eye,
and you squeeze those eyebrows together, okay?
Like that. Let them know you mean business.
Right?
Here they try to make sense of it all.
Maximum capacity.
Louder. I can't hear you.
At bouncer school, the principles are complex.
So, if there's nobody in there, why do we make them wait outside?
Because we need to make the club look busy.
So, we, we're just saying it's a private party.
Oh!
The lessons are difficult.
One patron in, one click.
Two patrons, double click.
