No, he is just a real nerd with good timing and energy. I have met a few of them. It is vastly superior to the usual alternative.
Another casualty of applied metaphysics.
I thought the leg one was great
:: stomach hurts from laughing ::
That one went up on my Facebook page right quick…
I liked that one as well. And while I knew that Higgs Boson particle was the god particle, if it wasn’t for recent events and a thread here about it, I wouldn’t have caught the second part of the joke “If you don’t allow the higgs boson, how do you have mass”
I would have changed the ending from “if you didn’t get one of the jokes, just let me know in the comments section and someone will come along to explain it” to “if you didn’t get one of the jokes, let me know in the comments section and someone will come along and tell you you’re gay”
And he does a good job of it, for awhile I thought they were the same guy.
My favorite: “We’re both penetrating your mom.”
That’s the going style, along with talking so fast that you really have to concentrate not to miss something (or even have to rewind the video.) Unfortunately, I think he took the last thing too far. Philip Defranco or Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation do it right.
I only had to watch a few seconds to see that I’d find a transcript funnier than the actual video.
Okay, about the leg joke: is this because the relatively small number of one-legged and legless people will result in an average of slightly less than two?
Loved the glass half full/half empty jokes. I have engineers in my family. Boy did I get that one.
And the dude is totally hawt. Nothing sexier than a proud nerd.
Yes.
Yup. That was my favorite of the bunch.
My kids (ages 6 and 8) love knock-knock jokes. I think I’ll try the one from the video on them, and see if they get it.
Yeah. He was really grating.
AFAIK, there are no 3 or 4-legged people to throw the average the other way, so yes.
Another way to put that would be: “The average person has less than 2 legs.”
Does that make it funnier?
Nerd nitpick: “average” could imply one of three kinds: “mean”, “mode” or “median”. The joke only works if you take it to signify “mean” or “median”. The “mode” for number of legs would simply be “two”.
Nerd note: I had to struggle in that previous sentence to find synonyms for the verb “to mean” (“signify”, “imply”), otherwise it would have been even more confusing.
It doesn’t work for median, either. It only works for mean (arithmetic average).
It’s actually a good illustration of the different kinds of averaging.
Of course we have parties. With lots of pies. I sure hope no BAD people show up.
