🤓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.
Let me guess, it was Kelvin that ordered the absolute vodka with coke zero
Just saw Don in Naples, Florida, 5/10/23.
If he comes to a town near you, just go.
He's so funny, laughing from the beginning to end.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How long are his sets?
Saw him last night in Santa Clarita. Hilarious
Brutal book review: An infinite number of monkeys given an infinite amount of time would produce all of Shakespeare's works. This book: 3 monkeys, 10 days.
When Christian Doppler divorced his wife and walked away, I bet she saw red!
The little side note “my pants slipped below my nipples” had me laughing almost as much as the Doppler joke.
'Is a 4G phone heavier than a 3G phone?
No, its just moving faster :V
Today was a very bad day for me, nobody died, but a very bad day nonetheless. Your channel lifted me up and got me through. Thank you from a retired engineer 🙏 nerd joke. Möbius strip walks into a bar, orders a drink and bursts into tears. The barman asks what’s wrong. The Möbius strip replies, where do I begin! Lol 😂
You had me until the "but"
@2:45, when he returned, he had a blueshift.
NGL the Vodka joke had me in stitches 😂
Next question
Do you get Absolute Zero
Or Coke Vodka 🤔
The last look he gave towards the audience was pure gold! It was like: oh boy I really corrupted some minds today with nerd jokes huh ? Oh well !
Love it!! Real comedy.
I saw one of your videos and instantly subscribed. You proved that observational science is funny. Thankyou!
I hadn't encountered this bit before - pure 197Au. 👍
I don't drink and loved the Absolute Zero joke. There's another guy named Wayne Kotter who used to be an engineer. Very funny too.
Other Worlds and This One by Cadwell Turnbull (Asimov’s?) “In the late nineteenth century, J.J. Thomson does an experiment that proves to everyone that electrons are particles, and they give him a Nobel Prize for his work. Thirty years later, George Thomson, the dude's son, does a similar experiment and proves that electrons are waves. They also give him a Nobel Prize.
Being nerdy, I have to say that Edison did not ''think'' of the light bulb. The incandescent filament bulb was first demonstrated by the English scientist Sir Humphrey Davy in 1802, nearly 80 years before Edison's belated, if successful, development.
This is great! Really cleaver humor!
The Doppler joke was well done.
You're awesome, sir.
-An Indian
Ok when someone got a great idea at times before Edison when a light bulb wasn't even invented? What appeared above their heads? A candle?
Edison did not invent the light bulb. He had a bunch of engineers in his lab that just tried a lot of different materials until the bulb was made better.
Edison was notorious for stealing other people’s ideas and inventions then patenting them.
He said Edison THOUGHT of the light bulb, and, AS A JOKE, asked if one appeared above his head...
Get it?
We got the joke, but agreed that the approach to invent the lamp was not perfect, kinda brute force approach
Joseph Swann invented the light bulb, before Edison managed it.
To be fair, he said, thought of the light bulb
Having worked in the auto industry for nearly 2 decades I can tell you that engineers try to fix things that aren't broken all the time.
Just discovered your channel and comedy. It's great. You seem like the perfect person to start doing AI jokes, not sure why?
AI jokes sounds fun
3:00 a girl in Scotland, same talk-rythm like Indian. Stingy too.
2:53 Nothing kills a joke like explaining it. Tell the joke and move on, if some people don't get it, too bad.
WHEN ARE YOU COMING TO PHOENIX? Seriously, need you to do a show here. I'd invite you to speak to the company I work for, but we're talking a healthcare firm and I don't think I can afford the copay.
1:32 = psychology does it for you.
Absolute zero is zero degrees Kelvin. That's not nerdy. 😊
yay
Aimed at me lol
I like Don now, apparently. He has a gimmick! It's not one of those frowned upon ones, but his rendition of an excited neckbeard getting excited about something is great.
Edison must have been Japanese because all he did was improve the electric light bulb that was invented ten years earlier by Joseph swan
What’s Topeka?
Capital of Kansas
I did not get last 2 jokes, can someone explain
Doppler effect. Sound waves stretch when traveling away from you, which lowers the pitch. Same thing happens with light waves (except the color color changes towards blue).
A lot of tech support is outsourced to India...
@@JoshuaTootell thanks
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_effect
It kind of makes you wonder, if it's true that: "Coke is the real thing!", "Meat is real food!", and you are what you eat, does that mean that a vegetarian that doesn't like Coke is an unreal person? Just wondering.
Ummm.... Can someone explain the last one😅
A lot (and I mean _a lot_ ) of computer support is outsourced to India. Sooo... where would Indian companies outsource their support?
Yeah I get that, but what was the "Topeka" about?
Like is it some reference I didn't get or just a random place?
@@Kislay11Topeka is the capital city of Kansas. He was just using a random US city.
Doppler's voice wouldn't get lower and lower; it would get lower and remain constant as long as he kept moving away. Sorry...
Only if he is moving away at constant velocity.
1:50 = Wireless button
What about a phone that's 5g + 4g?
5g > 4g, where g=gravity
Time to buy computers in India then.
joke:lol ratio >= 1
Just saw him in Fridley, MN. Broke my face, all his bits killed. Thanks Don!
About the Absolute Zero joke, is Coke equal to 1/Vodka?
just saw the absolute zero YT short, and came searching for this.
