AMERICAN PSYCHO BUSINESS CARD ENVY MEME MAKER

ORIGIN & LORE

From the cult classic film 'American Psycho' (2000), this iconic scene features Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) engaged in a high-stakes comparison of business cards with his colleagues, including Timothy Bryce (Justin Theroux) and David Van Patten (Bill Sage). Bateman becomes increasingly frantic and sweat-drenched as he realizes Paul Allen (Jared Leto) has a card superior to his own. The scene culminates in Bateman's famous internal monologue admiring the 'subtle off-white coloring' and the 'tasteful thickness' of the rival card. This clip is a staple in internet culture for representing extreme envy, status anxiety, and the absurdity of corporate vanity. It is frequently used to show someone feeling outclassed in a trivial competition or reacting with hidden rage to someone else's minor success. Example caption ideas include: 'Me looking at my friend's 4.0 GPA while I struggle to pass,' 'When the group chat sees your new custom PC build,' and 'Checking the LinkedIn profile of someone you secretly hate.'
