🤓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.
"I have to willingly do this inefficiently" 🤣
That had me dying
Being an engineer and married for 10+ years this hit home really :D
It really is true. If a women complains about a problem, for the love of God don't dare to offer a solution - this is no what they are looking for!
"I can solve this but I am not allowed to" - as a fellow engineer, I feel you. A former girlfriend actually made it into a proverb: Don't bring your problems to an engineer - he'll try to solve them for you. (Yes, we drove eachother nuts. That's why we broke up).
The women also need to learn to accept solutions sometimes. Relationships work both ways.
The problem is that a lot of the problems you tell your SO are not solveable like that, they're just feelings you need to vent about to another person about.
Ex: wife saying she feels fat, exercising more and being less fat isn't necessarily going to fix feelings, that's why there are lots of eating disorders. It's also really annoying to be told solutions when you've already tried them multiple times and it hasn't worked
I was married to an architect for 4 years. Where was this video when I needed it? It all makes sense now.
How dare you compare architects to engineers? They are our mortal enemies, bad artists that think they're perfect and will not hear that their wild looking building will not magically float without supports lol
@@nmoney000 "What if we build the Eiffel tower, but upside down??" Yea that's no way to make friends with an engineer :')
I was at a self checkout and the old guy,(maybe my age) was arguing with the computer voice. After he finish he told me, "She makes me so mad."
You should've introduced him to Siri.
Don’s comedy just kills me. 🤣🤣 come for the Power Point, stay for the dwarves.
The curtain for under the bed is the dust ruffle. It keeps dust from getting under your bed and forming massive dust bunnies. If you have carpet, the bunnies are really hard to remove because most vacuums can’t reach under a bed. My bed doesn’t have a dust ruffle, but thankfully I don’t have carpet, either, so the dust bunnies are easy to remove.
The beep *undo* function on self checkout cash-registers should totally be a thing! Seems completely intuitive (at 3:00)
true but then if you scan the barcode backwards it would unboop an item thats not there and end up fucking the system up.
seems nice, but is far more complicated than the amount of leisure it provides.
@@HYpr1337time Couldn't it just be a couple of light curtain sensors or similar at each side? If an item breaks the left one before scanning, it's being scanned/added, if it breaks the right before scanning, it's subtracting. Of course, general public. If there's a way to do it wrong, they'll find it. :)
@@HYpr1337timeWe, as humans, braught a helicopter to Mars but you think this is the problem which is not solvable?
if(i > 1) i=i-1;
8:30 The Dwarves can't be doing "Death of a Salesman" in the daytime; they are sleeping on the little pillows. LOL
Maybe that's just between performances. 😁
There aren't many comedians that make me laugh out loud at almost every joke. Very, very funny.
Don, you are HILARIOUS! Actually, beyond that: You're a national treasure. *IF* the only thing you ever did was the "Who's Right" logic diagram, that would be enough, but you have done so much more, and it's all great!
I don't understand why this guy doesn't have his own full-length stand up specials.
Geek humor is sooooooo rare. I'm not talking about "let's make fun of geeks and nerds by putting them down and just shitting all over them" type of geek humor. That's what Big Bang Theory is for. Ever notice the people who like that show are NOT geeks and nerds? It's the average person laughing AT them.
This guy uses legit "nerdy" humor and it's glorious. Any semi-geeky person should be able to watch this and just appreciate it.
I've yet to view one of Don's videos and not laugh. The dude has a direct line to my nerdy funny bone and that is SO rare. He's like the Bill Murray of dorks and I wish I could meet him IRL.
The "un-bop" idea is genius!
Either a genius joke or a true experience :') Old neighbour of mine once forgot to put on the offset piece on his shaver so then he had a good old bald spot. This mfer panics, turns around, and asks his wife "if I put the piece on now, will it come back?" :') I really hope there aren't many people like that in the world but they do actually exist.
@@reznovvazileski3193 Such people make our lives more cheerful :)
imagine if the ui was that advanced
@@reznovvazileski3193 😁😁
The audience recognizes every situation he describes. Even when the male is not an engineer. 😂
And even when the female is not an engineer.
And even when the non-binary non-birthing furry person is not an engineer.
What’s this? NO PowerPoint ?, not sure what to do now?, should I rewatch another PowerPoint? 😂
Hilarious - I'm using this to explain ME to my WIFE! Thank you for sharing
How did that go? Women need to learn to accept solutions sometimes. Marriage is a two way street.
He is a genius, best Comedy and Reality video ever!! 😂❤
The piece Don forgot in his otherwise brilliant ‘hair cleaner’ story, is the endless comments about ‘It has a best before date you know’ and ‘Nobody keeps shampoo for longer than [insert number of days/weeks/months]’, not forgetting; ‘That stuff smells vile’ 😂
Yes, I remembet when people would quickly scurry away from a person mumbling to themself.
I remember seeing on of my first bluetooth phone user while cooling my heels at the gate waiting for a flight. This guy was pacing around, and carrying on an animated conversation with what appeared to be himself. My first thought was, "I hope he's not on my flight", then I realized he probably had the "new tech".
Purpose of the curtain: To reduce the amount of dust that gathers beneath the bed.
that one dude in the right corner is not impressed.....🤣
Its rare that someone can make me laugh.
The return of poob! The beloved Star Wars character.
We haven't had to deal with minutes for probably a decade, unless you're making international calls.
Haha. I had to pause and think “this is probably 15+ years old, imagine as if you’re back in middle school and dad’s new phone being able to show the weather forecast was cool”.
that was hilarious. thankyou
Not married long enough!
It's easy.
Keep quiet, her problem, no grief.
A Retired Heavy Industry Electrician!
Love this guy!
I'm fortunate enough that my wife doesn't do the "many pillowed thing". Tangent: I'm only conjecturing here, but I think the curtain, "skirt" I think is the actual name, is to reduce "dust bunnies" from forming. Again, that is just a considered guess.
Either that or it hides all the junk that gets stuffed there. Lol. But conversely, since the multi-pillow thing is about looks/appearance, maybe the skirt is just a visual thing as well.
If there are any "linen aficionados" who know the history of the skirt and/or multi-pillow fashion, pls enlighten us all. Thx😀
The skirt is to hide the dwarves, who come out at night to sleep on the pillows, since they're too short to reach the pillows when they're on the bed.
A legend.
Oh the age of Bluetooth headphone - as in a single one one one ear.
3:06 you could see his mind working 😂
In the example he gave, he misidentified the problem. He thought the problem was that she had gained weight. The problem was how she felt about it. Address the emotion, Don.
Lighten up, francis... THATS the joke!
The real problem was that she needed to grow few inches taller
Those small pillows and curtains are for Underpants gnomes! 😂
Genius act! 🤣🤣🤣
1:37 - I made this same joke back in 2004
"Rare" double boop? Common, judging by how the single clerks overseeing 10 machines run from one to the other fixing issues.
Maybe it's different in the US, but in the UK they're usually running around because of 'unexpected item in the bagging area'. 99% of the time it's a bag. :)
@@markwright3161 We get that one, too. That's something programmed for here so we can just hit "Yes" to the machine prompt "did you put a bag there?". Heaven forbid a bag is full and you move it, though. No proceeding until you put it back, even if it's in the way of further bagging...or you only have one item and do NOT put it in the bagging area while you pay.
This hilarious
04:20 - this hits home 100%.
Best comedy of the 21st century.
Progress in your stand-up too!!🤣😂
change your picture already, you lost!
@@KristijanRisteski-zp7bxPutain filth
Comedy from 2005!
Dave Gorman had a routine about the decorative bed pillow.
How far back was this stand up performed
12 PACK OF RAKES
4:41 This is exactly how I feel when I have to mourn with people or people groups over the affects of their own mindset, actions, and culture.
"None of your babies' daddies are paying child support? Man, that's rough. Let's listen to some Cardi B and get high on fenty to cheer you up."
I feel your pain...
I used to have Shampoo which was also body wash, conditioner, and laundry detergent.
Would like to see what he would do with the COVID video calls?
Self-checkout is a funny way to make your customers work for free as cashiers (or whatever this job is called in English).
2:32 Schwarzenegger impression.
very funny
I wash my hair with soap. I won't be bothered with so much shampoo products. But I'm still bothered with so much soap products.
Go, go, Gadget Morons!
A logical mind would at least think of combining all those little bottles of hair products into a large one ---
as long as there wouldn't be an explosion.
*P O O B*
Unlimited
🤣😎👍
He's very funny, no question about that buuuuuut... when was this recorded? 20 years ago? "one of those new phones that can check your emails" ... "so small" ... whut? That were valid points about 20 years ago, but nowadays, you'd more likely have the problem "my phone can't check my emails, while it's connected to a series of 12 vpns, streaming armenian sitcoms and donating the rest of my computing power to that protein folding cause" and "my phone is so big, I had to buy new pants just to fit it into my backpocket. It is a single back pocket that lines both of my asscheeks, but my phone fits again."
😂😂😂😂
It’s stand up, not a PhD oral dissertation
These are actually really old (15, 20 years ago) videos but posted in recent (less than 10) years. Can't you even notice the quality of the videos, dress styles, microphones were still coded?
@@tvguyjakeignore him. He’s an engineer too.
Gee Steve, how do you watch a movie like Bullit when the mustangs don't eve have air bags?
Who’s the guy on the right in the audience? Just sitting there - no expression, as if he’s in an exam!
Your mom
@pastorcameronmurphy6130 OK, Jimmy Carr! LOL
He’s in a self-induced coma
Mr. Nobody
Is this from 20 years ago?
Brown jacket guy in the front row not amused.
u look like woody harrelson
I still don't get why most women literally don't want help with their problems. My theory is that the patriarchical society disrespected them so much that an offer for help is seen as an insult. I see this with my wife very frequently. It's hard to understand because you don't expect women to have a different culture. Though I do believe that the more we break the patriarchical sturture of our society the less pronounced these difference will.
