Can someone explain the llamas?


They're a South American camelid.

Bah, I can recite the last 3 phone numbers of the girls that dumped me without blinking as well, and I am not a stalker. You want to impress me data, tell me a racy joke with double-entendre.

You woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning didn't you
No, I'm having a good day (my birthday, actually), and I just watched the Reginald Hunter clip which I thought was great.
I just don't like this kind of humor. I don't think random pop culture references, double entendres (haha, "slit"!), or the combination of the two are particularly funny.


It's ok since it was first and foremost a poem, the funny (for some) part is just an added bonus.

You woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning didn't you - You just may need a fresh glass of OJ to pull out of that stupor I for one, *promote the acceptance of some good natured nerd-humor and enjoy the fun to which he and the audience are having

So, to do "nerd" humor the plan is to avoid anything actually nerdy. Stick to the most often recycled bits of pop culture and pop science, mix in some clumsy, senseless double entendres so that people know when to laugh, and you're good to go.

I think lots of people believe "high level science" consists of 3 or 4 ideas:

1. In Schrodinger's thought experiment, a cat in a box could be seen as both alive and dead until an observer collapses the waveform
2. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle says you can't know both the exact position and momentum of a particle
3. General relativity states time slows and mass increases for objects at relative high velocity
4. Light's behavior exhibits a wave/particle duality, as demonstrated by interference experiments

Know those 4 things? Have you watched Star Wars once? Good, you're now equipped to understand pretty much all "oh wow that guy's a crazy brainiac nerd" humor. Somehow if you reference things like that, you get a pass to do a comedy routine without any jokes. You're stroking people's ego enough that they don't care you're not funny.

I think people would just get pissed off if he left the "nerd humor" script, though. People don't want to be challenged, or hear pop culture references they don't know. Anyone who's the tiniest, tiniest bit interested in Greek mythology knows Pandora opened a jar, not a box - but nobody wants to hear a joke involving Pandora's jar. They want the same reference that 1000 previous pop cultural references have prepared them for. They want affirmation that they're part of the special club that knows about stuff.

So, to do "nerd" humor the plan is to avoid anything actually nerdy. Stick to the most often recycled bits of pop culture and pop science, mix in some clumsy, senseless double entendres so that people know when to laugh, and you're good to go.

Unintentional double entendres are the best.

...I don't get it. I'm slow. What am I looking for here?


The order in which they arranged the shots gives it a racist double entendre lol

I'm looking forward to seeing what all the hubbub is about.

Nice double entendre with the "train wreck" tag there, netrunner.

Found this review of the first 10 minutes for anyone that's interested

For those Americans who didn't get the reference, Orange is a wireless carrier in Europe, like Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, etc.

Apple does like to switch dongles pretty often. Seems they've finally settled on Mini-DisplayPort. Problem is they charge $29 for them.

ant, banana would not fit into the double-entendre theme because it doesn't actually mean anything when it comes to computers or electronics.

I wouldn't mind bending over that cute blond, not so much the table.


Maybe you should bend the blonde over the table and cover all the bases.

edit: I just realised "cover all the bases" is a really sweet double-entendre in this context.

I love that double entendre at the end.
