Last Black Friday at Best Buy Toronto, My friend was juggling a line that looked like it stretched to Mississauga when his manager whispered, “Act normal… the demo TV just froze on a karaoke app.” He turned around and there he was on-screen, mid-high note from last year’s staff party. Customers started cheering like it was planned. He kept straight-faced, said, “Limited-edition feature,” and somehow sold three TVs off his accidental performance.

That's hilarious. Turning one's accidental stardom into a few sales is brilliant. If you think about what people put on video these days, it could have been a whole lot worse.

Seriously! Making the most of accidental fame is genius—and you’re right, it could’ve turned out way worse!

That’s how to make hay when the sun shines! Being somewhat quick-witted is a huge benefit when dealing with customers.

Exactly! A little quick wit goes a long way—perfect way to make the most of the moment.

Haha that’s awesome! You should suggest they put that on screen every once in a while when your friend is working.

Haha that would be hilarious! They should totally flash it on screen now and then just to keep things interesting.

That’s hilarious and awesome! Would have loved to see it

Too funny! I would’ve loved to witness that in person!
