In the movie "American Psycho", the business card scene is a memorable moment where the main character, Patrick Bateman, becomes obsessed with the quality of his colleague's business card. The scene takes place at a business meeting, where Bateman and his colleague, Luis Carruthers, compare their business cards. Carruthers has a simple business card, while Bateman's is more luxurious and has raised lettering and embossing.

The scene is considered funny because of the over-the-top nature of Bateman's obsession with his business card, and his intense anger and disbelief at Carruthers' card. This highlights the absurdity of materialism and status-seeking in 1980s Wall Street culture, as well as the character of Patrick Bateman himself.

I would also find it funny how the cards doesnt look like how they are described.
