🤓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. Don has performed more than 800 corporate shows in the last 20 years and he was named the #1 Corporate Comedian by the CBS Business Network.

He missed two elements. First, one of the leads is forced to spent Christmas in town because: car broke down, family member got sick/die, required by work, snow storm closed roads, etc. Another essential element in the plot is that the leads have to save a place or event: a farm, town historical landmark/building, community center, Christmas pageant, another town tradition, etc. 😂
Reunion, art fair, baking contest...
You left out former lover comes into town nearly ruining the budding romance.
Hallmark scientists are reporting that they are very close to developing a second movie plot. Stay tuned for further updates.
Unlikely ever to happen but I'll stick around until then.
Thank you for your analysis. I am an architect who actually lives in THE small town in Canada where some of these Hallmark movies are filmed. 😊
So basically, 1,000 possible Christmas Hallmark movies!
Not counting the innumerable remakes.
@@ghost307 Let's not even add the multiverse or there'll be no end of them!
@@hairyairey Agreed.
Yuk
This is actually very much true. I live in a small Canadian town: North Bay. We are known as the city of cameras, cuz that's all we do in the winter: film Christmas stuff.
It's SO true about those Hallmark movies!!! You can tell the ending within the first 3 minutes!!! Drives my wife crazy when I offer to tell her how it will end in the first scene. LOL!
The Christmas Child was actually filmed in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. I know that because it’s my hometown and it was quite a buzz with people I know who still lived there at the time.
Don McMillan. The original AI
You did it again, Don! Straight genius comedy :) They're so formulaic but we watch them anyway.
Christmas Island was a Hallmark movie filmed here in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, last August (what fun seen fake snow on the ground during a REALLY hot summer!) And you can check off all those boxes when it came to them filming here!
0:47 actually 85% are filmed in the salt lake metro area in January. I can usually fall over laughing at how ridiculous their travel scenes are since I recognize each mountain and if they followed the path the film suggests they took they would have passed their house half a dozen times, and driven the shape of a pentagram
Great stuff! I just rewatched the Babylon 5 episode "The Corps Is Mother, the Corps Is Father", and I saw you as the bartender. Great surprise! And I hope you enjoyed your time on that set. Again, great stuff! 🙂
Wow! The stand-up comedian got BETTER toward the end.
I am somewhat impressed. Although I have to say that cracking the code to Hallmark movies is like cracking the code to Tic Tac Toe,
I watched a fewof these. A surprise, in every film they have one moment of real human truth that the writers sneak in. That becomes the game.
thank you for the video
We know they’re all the same. We don’t care! He missed the ones where you marry Santa’s son. Also the leads are frequently doctor/vet/paramedic. Thanks for the fun!
I feel attacked lol hallmark xmas movies are a guilty pleasure...
There was a town in Connecticut that also seemed film Christmas movies year round. Lol
The same method is used for making Family Guy, but instead of a slot machine, there are hundreds of balls with random things written on them and manatees picking a few of them, put them in a basket, and those things will be the gags of family Guy.
I want the generator lol
Is it possible to get the source data? I want to make an urban spoon like app for hallmark movies
Binaural, THANK YOU!!!
"I rest my case"
let's do it again
You sound like one of the “Chinese Restaurant Menu” Hollywood film producers post-1975. “One from Column A, one from Column B” is a bigger commentary on brain-death posed as creativity than you note.
The Christmas movie inn still waiting for us where everyone finally has the realization that there's nothing special about it and it's just not worth the hassle. The movie ends with no one overeating or in additional debt after being pressured to over spend on things no one needs simply because some advertising executive has brainwashed them.
He used to work for Hallmark.
My wife watches these movies and he is right. Mean handsome white man comes to small town to (a) close the factory (b) tear down the historic house (c) slaughter puppies. All by Christmas Eve. Attractive white lady (with several beautiful white friends) hates him because she is saving any of the above 3. By the end they fall in love, he quits his job and saves the factory/house/puppies and moves to that town and marries her.
Don is one of my favorite comics - clean and hilarious.
Then it becomes a lifetime movie after she's killed by the husband. It's always the husband or boyfriend.
There is also a Black best friend of the lead who only functions as a plot device and is only in one scene
@@amethyst_cat9532 but the BBF is ALSO slim and good looking!
Danica is currently working on a new movie (she is also a writer for it), but as she left Hallmark, that might explain why the plot isn't quite matching up with your slot machine.
Royal Christmas Ball:
Follows Chelsea Jones, a dance instructor, as she travels to the small European country of Havenshire in search of her heritage during the Christmas break.
I didn't see dance instructor as a job for the lead. But I am not quibbling. Your slot machine does work quite well.
BTW, Danica is 49 years old. I didn't realize that.
It just has to be a small, quaint, mountain town of 99.99% white people, and one black person. I really don't care, I'm not at all being political, I'm white, I've seen tons of these with my mother over the years, LOL. It's just something you can't help but notice.
You failed to mention that her job title ALWAYS includes “freelance”.
😂
One of those last movies is a remake.
Doesn't work with Home Alone 🤔
Home Alone isn't a Hallmark Movie.
Inopportune meeting , don't like each other , go to dinner, get married, no sexual encounters. Perfect for Hallmark or lifetime except the lifetime movie has a stalker or abuser who dies.😘😘👍☝. Keep looking up? Pure but unlikely but wholesome and endearing.. Aaahhhh.🤔😁
