Stand-up comedy routine about Spreadsheets 

People with glasses will have this twice a day, once in the morning when they see their wife and once when they get back from work and see their wife.

Foil-ed by the screen protector

every time. and it woulda worked too, if it werent for those meddling wave form collapsing observations

Working with transparent materials in 3D visualization: yes very much

@@HermanWillems What if their wife is just a spreadsheet?

Bill Bingham It took me a while to get this... well done

Towsif Hassan RU-vid

I'm dying

BAD

They call me the king of the spreadsheets, got 'em all printed out on my bedsheets

Always look on the bright (any number b/w 0 and 255) side of life.

I use python so I don't have to use spreadsheets so we've come full circle

almost everything was excessively drawn out bro.

@@gwho sad what the internet did to attention spans

@@gwhohe’s not actually a stand up comedian, you do know that? He’s a lecturer & maths tutor. So no, it wasn’t drawn out, as it wasn’t officially a stand up routine…

​@@ShelsightI have to stand up a comment here: He's a standup guy, and he was standing up! Q.E.D.

With a probability of 1

I confused it with sine's range , and was thinking how can he do a sin in the middle of a comedy show , glad to know I was wrong

i think i get it

Matthew Randell me too

you mean that sheet :)

Li Shaoran Badum tish

aaaaah i see wat u did there

neeeeerd

David Byrne Mexico?

Its funny bc its true

i prefer 18xx games for my spreadsheet recreation

To be honest I was only going through the comments to see if I could make this joke or it was taken....

I mean, Pokemon Go is the whole reason I started learning them and once you start most games look like they'd be better with a spreadsheet. (OSRS being the one I did the second most spreadsheets for)

@@UnknownVir I was summoned from a 4 year slumber... May all know the curse of the.... NECROTHREAD!

Spreadshception

+Elliot Grey People keep using that (inception) word, I don't think it means what people think it means. ... Recursion bitches, do you do it?

***** It's a reference to the Inception movie, where people go to a dream within a dream within a dream.

3snoW Yes, I know. But inception doesn't refer to the dream within a dream, but to the inception of an idea.

***** I believe people do realize that the movie isn't called "Dreamception", but by saying "Xception" is like saying "the dream thing from Inception except that instead of a dream it's X"

Those air vibrations were produced by scrolling down a very narrow spreadsheet. ;)

Facts

There is always a goat. 😂😂😂

When was that?

Well I was born in 1988, so that would have been the mid 90s.

We had one of those monstrosities aswell :D

Back when hanging a television on the wall was the fever dream of a madman!

UFBMusic And modern day ikea crap would crush underneath it.

LOL very nice!

+Starter61 Word!

+dave28lax Good PowerPoint!

This comment chain has a "computer" OUTLOOK on life

Stop with these Microsoft jokes. I will end you if you make another joke. You have my word.

I wish

I agree. More students would be inspired and invested in learning when you have educators like Matt who mixes the fun and humor in it

i almost awakened my whole family

omg neek

+evilcam Where exactly is the "It's turtles all the way down" originally from?

+MrRolnicek Why not google the answer and you'll have it in seconds.

+howdj in a beautiful spreadsheet format displayed on your screen

+evilcam Your Avatar pic is subtle but great

Favorite joke of the set XD

luxembourg too haha

Ahahah

Miss the OHP. No expectation of high production values. A pack of five coloured pens, a pile of foils and packs of the kind that you can ink print/laser print and photo copy onto. You can put your presentation together anywhere, even sat out side in the summer sun in Brisbane. No temptation to try to pack too much info on one foil. Forced you into some good habits. Stick a blank foil over the top, scribble, annotate and highlight on the hoof without destroying the original. Cannot say I miss the punched paper tape or the teletype. Think it is quite recent that NHS stopped using Fax, Boeing are phasing out 3.5" floppys (rather the old 747's that have them) and DoD have retired 8" floppys from missile defence after about 50 years. B-52s are all older than 57yrs and are not due to retire before they hit 90yrs old

Still do some places

There's not much wrong with OHPs. They are a lot cheaper than many more modern alternatives and are pretty reliable. I have never seen a school or university classroom, where every computer and it's ports worked perfectly. OHPs o the other hand are much more reliable

Buuut..... Google Sheets are also spreadsheets. 🤔

@@villamilish google sheets don't excel at it

Don't @ me like that.

Me, using Libreoffice : Noob

Don't lump us in, I still liked it :(

It may be my favourite yet.

+John Reynolds This is obviously a spreadsheet, not a video.

Robert Headley Same thing.

+MrHappyBollox If String Theory is correct, the Universe is made up of discrete points, so you might be onto something there.

It's clickbait

Good job he didn't laugh too hard he could have sheeted himself

I think you found the Formula to success!

So you bought high and sold cheap. Rookie mistake. Sits back and waits for the Whooosh comments...

@@newbarker523 obligatory /whoosh/

May be tough getting out, there are no doors and the window panes may be frozen?

As a prisoner I would tell jokes to pass the time. When no one laughed I'd say, "Tough cell!"

@TheBloke I truly was a little nervous that it would crash during his routine.

The two hardest problems in computer science are cache invalidation, naming things, and off by one errors.

I get you 10 was 1 more joke from what was promised.

1.9 repeating?

10/01

I mean, technically even 1 joke was over-delivering on the promise of "between 0 and 1 jokes"

I always strive for expectations + ε.

How on earth did only 22 people understand this joke???

Yes I'm on excel++

Me. The comment section is limited though

No-one else watching on an overhead projector?!

bb ASCII graphics and monocrome screen would be interesting experiment for this vid

Timothy Y. i still dont know where he went with it

Timothy Y. talk computing to me

For some reason I was thinking of IP Addresses lol

@@jaqian Ditto...

Ironically, the only thing I was thinking was that he was OCD or something and he liked a LOT of large numbers in an excel document. When the colors came into play, I thought, "How is he going to see some of those values if they're so dark?" The best part is I'm a photographer. I guess that showed where my head was.

Joseph Anderson why have you done this? What am I doing on a saturday night?

you mister have a (Power)Point ;-)

Paul Komarnicki Word!

I'd like Access to this nerd herd

This Sucks on Ice you need to have a more positive outlook

same

Ruth D. Chin story time?

Woo!

Yeah, I think we need to hear this story!

Everyone wants this !!! Make a video on this

Ruth D. Chin yah I think we need to hear the story Ruth

Yeah

+ESoro25 yep

He does the calculator unboxings

@@anqied And Parker Squares.

yup.

Thanks! I really love your comment.

I do work as a stand-up comedian as a living. :] And yes, don't let the automatic converter rob you of hours of tedious fun.

If he were a professor at Nottingham, could he perhaps title himself the Spreadsheriff of Nottingham...?

That kind of looks sarcastic... it isn't! :-D

+Almog Levin Glad I could help!

Almog Levin Yes, exactly 1 cheering up.

oh hey it's you again

Truee, I used to have one for TV shows I was watching

Matthew Randell you're watching too much TV if you need a spreadsheet

Dale Russell The problem is I was watching too little and never finishing a series so I needed to keep track of which episode I was on

The problem with 'real' stand-up comedy is that it is really hard/expensive to film. But I'll put up other bits from this Spoken Nerd DVD in a few months.

standupmaths :D Thank you, Mr Parker! You are the best.

It's not like I have a choice!

No! You've had your commenting privileges suspended.

@@kykk3365 Your Access™ as been blocked

In order to be engaging one must first truly love what they are presenting. Matt Parker (and your teachers) have a beautiful love for the field. I wish all teachers could reach this level of excitement!

That one is so bad....exactly my taste. Thanks

It makes me uncomfortable to do math sitting down

Apparently not. There is a Great Big Story video about mathematicians' love for a certain brand of chalk. So it seems many prefer to stand up before a literal chalkboard.

LOL!

3:00am

Literally watching a 1:30 am 🤨🤨
