TJ Booker I’m currently fighting off the irrepressible urge to steal your brilliantly worded sentence/comment and use it as the title of my future memoirs...
@@danthewatcher9681 You're joking, but there are already a few names for people that fear or hate robots, including: Robophobia, Automatonophobia, and Luddism 👌
Do you thin sentient ai will have to age/mature to gain emotional intelligence or will it just be "born" with wisdom of how to handle it's emotions, like how do you raise an ai when it's a billion times more intelligent yet emotionally inexperienced, How do you punish them or reward them for behavior? Do you just trust them and let them figure it out for themselves or do you try to help and guide and teach ? How would you treat it for mental health?
His jokes are way ahead of his time, if only people knew more about what we know today it would’ve been a hell of a comedian back then, it’s amazing to see someone with such talent
Honestly, his jokes weren't that funny. Not only that, this is probably one of the many times he did this exact act since he's never switched up his routine. I don't mean to undermine his acting talent, but his comedy just doesn't compliment it
Audience was nearly dead silent when he asked if there were any Trekkies in the audience. You almost forget there was a time when people were actually ashamed of their nerd fandoms.
The movements are flawless. To me personally, the spoken material falls short of the amazing physical performance. That said, I'm surprised this guy didn't become a 90s CBS sitcom star. I mean, couldn't have been any worse than Dharma and Greg or Veronica's Closet.
I was going to make a lame comment about gimmick comedians and the glut of comedians in general in the early 90s. But this guy is really, really good at what he does. I can’t believe I’ve never heard of him. Great stuff.
I love when you can see his actual facial reactions of being pleased with himself through the animatronic movements. He's like 90% robot but 10% human lol. Must've taken so much time and honing to make those specific jerky movements his normal muscle memory, all while telling standup material no less.
This man is not only incredible at the human robot. His hard work in what he chose to do as a profession is incredible, and is appreciated, deservedly so! Guy is incredible at this.
This is one of the best acts I've ever seen, to the point you could almost be fooled into thinking he was actually a robot. So why the hell have I never heard of this guy?
The way he moves and talks is very accurate to how robots are now and the fact he’s able to say the “Good!” line exactly the same every time is perfect.
He’s doing animation style of popping which is small movements and isolation of certain parts of the body to imitate robots. It’s a cool style poppers use to do stuff like that
Best robotic movements I've seen even in our time. Every move was like a real robot. Excellent stand up. Weak ass crowd tho they were confused of his technology...gooood 😂
The audience didn't know what to make of him nor were they intelligent enough for his humor. He's a GENIUS, perfectly done I could swear he was synthetic! Just great. Dumbed down society on display.
Every time I watch this, it blows me away. I really tried to find something to nitpick, just to see if there even was, and I came up empty-handed! His movements are so, so perfect. I can’t even imagine how much time and practice that took!
Props to this dude, he has a gimmick that seems like its potential would be really limited, but for acting like, sounding like, and keeping his jokes robot-themed, he was surprisingly entertaining. I would have been impressed with his perfect movement alone, but the fact that he is really funny too is just amazing. I wish the audience had shown him more love.
Wow, blast from the past, I remember watching this 30 years ago on Jonathan Ross' Saturday Zoo.... almost forgot how good this guy was. Great post cheers
The best part is how he nails the stiffness of animatronic facial expressions. I've seen people do the body movements well before, but the facial movements are really making me believe he's a robot.
Metropolis - 1927, had robots in it. Alien came out in 1979, it had an android in it. Blade Runner - 1982 and had more androids. The Terminator came out in 1984 - killer robot. RoboCop - 1987. But they don't understand? XD
This was 1993, the Internet was slow dial up and the internet was just starting to get traction. It was mostly regarded more like a geeky hobby back then, niche... kind of like comic books are regarded. I think as people grew more internet savvy his jokes would have landed better
Let's face it, in 93, I'll bet that only a handful of those people even had a computer. If I recall, my grandfather had a computer but we didn't get one until 94 or 95. They just weren't in tune with this awesome performance. Thanks RU-vid for giving me this suggestion, but stop with all the fucking ads.
Really? If you mentioned floppy discs or coaxial cable to people now, they wouldn't have a clue what you are talking about. "Alexa, what's a floppy dick...?"
@@kawaii33366 Actually, I gauge it by watching your generation DISPLAY that they only know things from when they were born. I don't imply it, I'm dismayed by it...😏 You can only really speak for yourself, mate, because amongst your peers...you're an anomaly.
@@atlantic_love uncanny valley. its like a fear or unease for something that looks remotely human. scientists think it is our primitive instincts that tell us to stay away from people who look sick. cryptologists believe it is an ancient fear for something that looks like us but otherwise different.
This is a dumb question but how does one become a mime? Do you have to be mute? Is there a college? A monastery? Are there degrees or licenses? Can it provide tax breaks? Or is it simply a life style? These are things I need to know Ive decided.
@@RustedBuddy5192 you become a mime through years of practice, but you can go to school for it, its considered theatre arts, you can claim it on your taxes if youre making money from it but not if its just a hobby, and theyre not mute dont be a jackass haha
hello I'm a French guy from 2022 its 3 am and RU-vid just recommended me a 12 years old video about a 90's comedian who make a perfect robot impression, this algorithm doesn't make sense ...
One of the most subtle things he does on occasion is to have his lip movements 'out of synch'. He starts talking ventriloquially (no lip movement) followed fractionally later by full.lip movement - and the lips carry on moving after he has stopped talking. Genius!
