Explain the business card scene in American Psycho and why it's funny
user
Patrick and his associates are exchanging business cards while at a meeting, they are comparing theirs to each others to see whose is 'best'. Of course, Patrick takes it very personally when his associates don't like his the best, and he has a very dark, over dramatic monologue about this very fact.

The humour lies in the dissonance and juxtaposition between his deep, aggressive thoughts, and the passive, lighthearted nature of business cards they are exchanging.

What are other situations resulting in humourous situations?

The obssession with always having the most expensive things (Bateman remarks that Allen's flat overlooks the park and is surely more expensive than his).
The omnipresent misogyny, depicted in a very grotesque way.
The fruitless strife to maintain originality (Bateman bores his visitors to death with detailed information about obacure rock bands).
The movie paints an entertaining vision of many things that are wrong with society.
