🤓Don’s Bio🤓
America's #1 Nerdy Comedian
What do you get when you cross an Engineer with a stand-up comedian? You get Don McMillan. This former chip designer has been doing his one-of-a-kind, PowerPoint-Driven comedy show for audiences for over 20 years. In his show packed with graphs & charts, Don will show you the funny side of your world that has been sitting right in front of you – you are just too busy working to notice. Don graduated from Stanford University with a Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering. He then went to work at AT&T Bell Labs where he was part of the team that designed the world’s first 32-bit microprocessor. He then moved to Silicon Valley where he helped launch the start-up company, VLSI Technology. Then after 15 years in the tech world, Don quit his job to become a stand-up comedian. That year he won $100,000 as the Comedy Grand Champion on “Star Search”. Don’s been seen on “The Tonight Show”, “HBO”, and the “Comedy Central”. These days, Don spends most of his time writing and performing customized corporate comedy shows for companies like Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Ford Motors, and Exxon/Mobil.

I believe humour has been there since the birth of humanity and thus, it's nearly impossible to be original, but you are original.

I think that we've entered the age of "the wrong information". Say you are shopping for something and want to find a technical spec for it, what are the odds the the manufacturer or supplier will give you that information without an hour of trawling through their website, if ever?

[bigedslobotomy]

When you were talking about the “age of too much information”, that reminded me of a joke I heard: If you have a question about something today, you will say, “Well, let’s Google it!”. But before the internet, if you had a question about something, you’d look at each other and shrug and say, “Welp, we may NEVER know!” (Because though you sometimes had access to information such as encyclopedias, you would either forget to look it up when you had the time and had the encyclopedias available, or you simply didn’t care enough to look the information up!)

5:32 Took the engineers long enough to figure out that bags need wheels.

Don, I have no idea if you read comments, but your comedy is brilliant.
Concise, and effective engineering of humor!
I have spent 9 months on physical disability and your insightful and "humerus" perspective has lifted me and helped me to rebuild. Thank you!!
You have perfectly modeled comedic signals in a system of content and presentation to apply proper analysis of their function. You show an mastery of control!

For those who expect, AI to change things in the world, the AI's are subjected to the same issues, and people using AI's will find that their AI's are being manipulated by folks who are also subjected to the same issues. I strongly suspect that rather than the future being affected by Artificial Intelligence, we need to factor in artificial stupidity, artificial deceit, and artificial manipulation.

That Paris Hilton joke would for sure be a Kardashian joke today

4:11 I don't know my total because not all questions were relevant to me! Additionally, IDK if I can do multiple choice for the Fry's one...

[letetard]

1:33 I named them Alice, Bob and Charlie, how many points do I have?

[DeoFayte]

We hit TMI when the average person got a smart phone and, collectively as a society, we forgot that the average person is an idiot.

[Nick_C]

For the homeless guy question, how many points for saying “I don’t have any spare cash, I’ve got exactly the right amount, what are the chances?”

[wisteela]

We put man on the moon before we put wheels on suitcases.

[zelda]

I got 2 points. "You are lying - this is Sunnyvale!" Listen. I'm watching this online. I don't live in Sunnyvale. And yet this happens _when I'm literally in Sunnyvale, California._ Maybe I'm lying so well I don't know it!

[biaberg]

Siri is actually a common Norwegian girls name.

[hikoakatsukisam]

He doesn't know how right he is about "The Rev1" and "Rev 2" lol

[zcki]

I wanted to name kids 1.1 and 1.2 so when I get married again I could continue 2.1 etc... 😔 idea was quickly shot down

[slinnova]

I miss Fry's Electronics, spend a lot of my teenage time there.

3:20 The spare cash / cache joke was nicely done.
As for how many versions of Windows old ? I'm older than double-glazing in the UK. Heck, I'm even older than IBM OS/360 😟

[hagerty]

6:20 That Santa smoking ad is way before 1953. Those are Lucky Strike cigs in a green package. For whatever reason, they changed to a white package at the beginning of WWII with the slogan "Lucky Strike Green has gone to war!"

[zacharynunley]

As much as this is funny and meant to be entertainment, he actually make some damn good points!
