The Difference Between A Dork And A Nerd. Don McMillan - Full Special 

well, that’s an engineer’s main goal after all.

🍻

As a Senior Geek, I Comprehend your CommEnt, Renti Retep.

Definitely! Almost every line was a joke, and a good one too.

Technically it was ON the charts

@@jcolinmizia9161 Oh yeah, him and the ducks? Hysterical.

@@peterrealar2.067 the ducks?

@@jcolinmizia9161 You haven't seen him and the rubber ducks? It's hilarious!

Nerd is the werd

@@jcolinmizia9161 James veitch was also accused of rape and sexual misconduct by multiple women so maybe not him

LOL I took a photo, printed it off, and immediately made my own, relabeling it with our names. Yes, Rick is wrong! (Going on 40th year as an Electronics Engineer).

I do love cargo pants though. ( bioengineer )

Yeah, when I saw him putting logic diagrams of AND and OR gates on the screen, I immediately thought he would lose 97% of his audience.

Once college professors learn the personality trait of drinking, they just kinda get stuck there. Some even lose the other traits they gained along the way.

Exactly right ✅️ 👏

I was waiting for him to include NAND and NOR gates.

If college professors learned this, do you think it would cut down on the amount of overeducated idiots we have? I married two different women, both college grads. I had to divorce both of them because I don't deal well with stupid. I'm a highschool droppout, and couldn't tolerate the amount of stupid that came out of thier mouths on a daily basis. I'm no genius, but the education system is very dissapointing to me.

surely directly proportional ?

The color of the carpet vs the color of the jam will also be a factor

@@howler6490 Irata is right. The likelihood of it landing jelly side UP is inversely proportional to carpet cost. The likelihood of landing jelly side DOWN would be directly proportional.

There's physics involved. I don't want to go into details but it will always land jelly side down unless you drop it from less than a foot height, because then it doesn't fall far enough to turn, or from more than 7 feet high, because then there's enough space for a complete turn.

@@janitaheino6473 what if it were really windy in your dining room? Or gravity had been some how altered? 😜😉🤓

Indeed

at 1:05 I was already cracking up and trying to find him

i rarely last 2 minutes.....my jokes are all shorts 1 min long

Lol 😆 the 1st joke about "...being a comedian who works 💪 in power 🔋 point" 🤣

@@MysticGwen 😊. Talk about originality...

SAME

The big and popular comedians resort to a lot of crudeness and profanity. Quite frankly, it is very unoriginal compared to what Don McMillan presented.

@@altruisticdiscovery Don reminds me of Sinbad, but more nerdy...of course 😂

​@@altruisticdiscovery I don't think it's so much that as it is a lack of "hunger". They already have everything they ever wanted, so they don't try hard anymore.

@@Genevieve1023 Absolutely do they not try hard anymore. An announcer will present a comic as "one of the greatest of all time", and then the audience is presented with a 1h 30min show, barraged of m***f***, sh**, f** (lots and lots of f***), ni****, cu***, pu***, etc. Somehow, the majority of the audience ends up laughing 'uncontrollably' when most of the lines are not even funny or witty. For me, it gives me a mental headache and a sense of dread that somehow, the common working man can relate only to profanity and crude sex jokes to forget their worries and feel happy. With these comics, there is no balance and variety in their approach. Just the same algorithm with every new comedy special that they release.

He looks pretty big to me. ;)

No sex? Dang is it even worth watching? I'm joking

He did have the one sort of political joke about voting and the lottery... but yeah, it's a very original, clever, and creative act for sure!

This is SO refreshing! It's been SO long since I've listened to a comedy routine all the way through. They're all so vitriolic and/or filthy now.

I concur!

He did include politics, you just didn't see them. It's called maths 😶.

I loved his wife's savings logic! My wife has run similar logic to on me in the grocery store and furniture store!

He has a Masters in electrical engineering and was a part of the team that made the first 32 bit micro processor so his logic maps are even from an expert in the field.

Ok, Ralph (if that really is your name), nice try ... when your AVATAR LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE DON'S VLSI BADGE!!!

as a tech nerd i was so freaking excited when he pulled out the logic gates

Oh yes, that logic gate was beautiful :) I have to show it to my lady 😆

Laughs per second. Laughs per joke. 🤷‍♂️

Drew Gooden has a video on RU-vid where he compared Friends and The Office to see which show is more efficient with their comedy. That might be interesting to check out if your a nerd (like me)

I’d measure decibels over time per joke

We need those KPIs!

I made that study a long time ago. Turns out the way to measure the efficiency of humour wasn't invented yet. But I came across some form of directions to how to produce humour and - wait for it - Philosophy of humour. Can you believe it?

Same! Former ... Delivery driver Electrical Engineer/automation specialist Army Sniper OTR Semi-Truck Driver Construction Worker Factory Worker Math Education Major (Grades 5-9) and Father of 4 + 4 step-sons. IQ tested at 12 (167), at 42 (178)[post stroke before going back to college with memory problems]. And have had multiple head traumas throughout my life in both civilian and military life, both concussion and direct blows to the head. But yeah, I really enjoyed this guy's routine. I won't remember it in 30 minutes to 2 hours, but I loved it in the moment.

@@thomasarussellsr 💪🙏

Once an electrical engineer, always one!

I thought you would have been shocked by his routine.

@@peterd6732 I found it Electrifying! Though he left out the Venn Diagram showing the overlap of Thermionic Emission and Intrinsic Conduction and electron valance Hole Flow.

Why can't he be both?

AND A GENIUS...NEVER HAVE SEEN OR HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THIS EVER‼️ HILARIOUS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Having worked for 30+ years in engineering shops, I must concur! 🤣

As an engineer, he probably made a contraption that was able to swivle around the ceiling like a pressure washer at a car wash.

As an engineer, you would know that he learned that in version 1... he is well into the 3rd iteration of the project currently. A lidar system will be in the 3.2 release for mapping and collision avoidance.

As an architect, you should know that the plug unplugs from the wall And then the mathematician chimes in with: "You forgot to include the time spent walking back & forth from outlet to outlet!"

Massive non tangle extension cord. Then you spend 5 minutes coiling it back up wasting all the time you saved.

No you just find a central plug and lift the cord over the furniture as you go. I do it all the time because I'm too lazy to switch outlets. 🤣

Dave Gorman also used plenty of slides in his Modern Life is Goodish show

Funny but far from original, most of his jokes are common

@@MrDogfish83 Humor is always about "how?" not about the manifest content.

@@paulsomers6048 I said he was funny then noted that his jokes were not original, which does not negate the fact I found it funny. So I don’t know what you’re adding.

@@MrDogfish83 Very little is "original". So what makes it funny again is the "how". I wasn't disagreeing with you at all. Just pointing out as an adjunct to your comment that the different "how" is what was so funny.

Me too lol

Nerds Rule! I have to copy those charts! My husband figured out that no matter what, I was right and he was wrong, even when I was wrong. God bless him!

@@annarodriguez9868 An ideal husband! :p

@@annarodriguez9868 I told my son the secret to a happy marriage is to master three simple phrases: "You are right." "I am wrong." "I am sorry" He should practice in a mirror is needed until he can say them with perfect sincerity.

@@Milfuelle100 He truly was a wonderful husband and father. His number one strength was a loving patient heart. Thankfully, I learned to be his ideal wife and life partner. Peace and blessings to all!

LOL! Did you find the marriage graphs applicable?

Wow

lol.. Right, not sure how many caught that one. 😂

good one.....my comedy is edgy.....

Right!! Or you just have to stay on the road and never go home hehe

WOW! Good call!

Not if u live where cars get stolen frequently

so glad for you, hope that happens to me sometime...

SAME HERE

was he in the sales/management/CPA or board of directors department? just doesn't fit me as the engineering only type and yes this comedy was funny

@@richardprice5978 he was a guest comedian performi g at the conference. I wasnt specific with that

@@richardprice5978 most engineers I've met or worked with are hilarious, just shy.

⭕🕳

you are donating to the bar not to DOn ...

Don's channel is called "Don McMillan". Check it out.

@@agnidas5816 No it's a direct tip to him.

I agree! I remember almost 20 yrs ago Howie Mandel (sp?) came to our town. The theater was packed. The guy before him was SO funny and never was foul mouthed. Then Howie came on stage and everyone was shocked to see him bald. He was funny, but was so foul mouthed and embarrassed people in the process, that I wanted to get up and walk out. It was disgusting, and people were not pleased. Even the mayor's wife had said later that he wouldn't be invited there again.

@@annwithaplan9766 Don't go and see Roy Chubby Brown... he's absolutely FOUL! I've never gone to watch ANY of his shows after watching a 2 minute advert (absolutely disgusting human being and not funny at all).

Jerry Seinfeld is you're guy if you're afraid of swears

@@sammaddison2085 Yes, also Brian Regan, Jim Gaffigan, and Sebastian Maniscalco...are clean but very funny comedians - for the most part any way. i.m.o.

SO TRUE! Some of the funniest people I've ever seen are totally clean: Garrison Koehler, Hank Green, and some guy from Oklahoma that had me gasping for breath I was laughing so hard at nothing but down-home middle-American humor. Wish I knew that guy's name. I saw him at a Comedy Club in Dallas 40 years ago and I still remember how funny he was.

Perfect for all the Christian dads who collect Funko Pops.

No you didn’t

He's holding both the mike and the projector control.

I want to hear your comedy routine!

@@BrendaCastro42 Thank you. Wow I have my first fan haha

@@jourdanhamme4065 I'm serious though. if you have a way to share your stuff 🙂

I'm interested in hearing them as well.

Please do your comedy! The people need it!

Pfft! A true nerd would have only used a spreadsheet.

I remember seeing him like 30 years ago. Wonder where he’s been.

my ex and I had 4 children, then I married a Chinese woman, (best decision I ever made), if we had children my fifth child would have been 1/2 Chinese, so almost got it right

Thank you Mr. Monorail guy from the Simpsons

Came here to say this. As a nerd, a lot of his material landed with me.

FORK YES!

You are right, and they are not the same; I loved Bill Cosby's stuff as a kid, and it was very clean. Steve Martin was never dirty, but hysterically funny. But I think too many people think if it's dirty, it isn't/can't be funny. Richard Pryor was probably the funniest human being ever. Don't exclude either one. This guy, Don McMillan, was excellent, and very entertaining!

Amen.

Meh. Still just words. Put your Bible down and learn to laugh a bit.

@@Frosstbite23 Yeah, but so many substitute intelligent humor for vulgarity nowadays. View the difference between the Dean Martin roasts and roasts nowadays. The older ones were smart and hilarious, the newer ones just have shock value. You have to work smarter to do clean comedy.

You sure he didn't drag you back in, if only momentarily?

That's probably the only sit ups you ever had as a nerd

Wikid

My doctor should be a comedian. He always keeps me in stitches. But I told him last week it's time to take them out.

Former? I don't think so. I'm a reformed nerd. Meaning I am comfortable in my nerd skin. I get hot chicks and go on exciting adventures. But I also love Science, Star Trek, Star Wars, the X-Files, all things science fiction. Don't deny your roots.

Your wife and my wife are definitely related! Chuckle, chuckle!

I would so say, "if you are such the expert, why don't you do it?", then drop the tool and walk away. fr!

🤣😅 I do that to my poor husband 😅

We want to help, just haven't got the skill set. What ya do?

@@mishaanton5436 You can find tutorials on just about pretty much anything. Experience is always the best teacher. I can repair most anything and do just about anything to a house. Of course I’ve been in construction my whole life. I do occasionally run into something I need help with and jump on the internet. Usually watch several of them and some reviews to tackle the job most efficiently. Plumbing and electrical are two things that need mostly just a little knowledge. However, some of it is super simple. Just need to pay close attention to what you’re doing. My Bose Wave Radio CD player quit working and I found a super simple video on how to fix it. The potentiometer needed to be tweaked slightly. It showed exactly where it was and what to do with it. I’m rockin and rollin again! Maybe one day you can say “honey, I’ll fix the kitchen sink or the toilet!” Some things are just not that hard. Give me a shout if you ever need advice on something. Now go fix that leaking faucet. Lol

That's one way to crunch humor!!

The last people we need voting are lottery ticket purchasers!!!!

Also... Just let the Lottery folks run the elections. When is the last time you heard about a fraudulent 1billion++ lottery getting scammed or hacked or 'stolen'? I feel like they would do a more secure job than the folks running the "most safest and securest election in history"

@@amcc8188 Lol, good one.

In the US you actually have about a 50/50 chance of winning when voting, that's not bad either!

@Artem Down *contrary to popular belief, playing the lottery isn't necessarily irrational.* same energy as this- *Because the winning candidate gets over 50% of the votes, which means over 50% voters are on the winning side.* therefore *technically, you have OVER 50/50 odds of winning when voting (in a two party system)* I feel like there is a subtle difference between trolling and shitposting that isn't quite encapsulated by these 2 posts and that conclusion. Where is the appropriate Venn Diagram.....?

He's more than "just" a chip designer too, he worked at Bell Labs and helped design the first 32-bit microprocessor in the world.

you are giving money to the bar not to the comedian

@@agnidas5816 No he isn't-it's a tip for Don.

My 1st time seeing him, thank you God! I sure needed this lol
