I was thinking this, too! I've always wondered why people from the 40's/50's seem to have that kind of smooth, lower tone of voice, especially the singers. I can understand the singing a little bit because singing can have certain vocal styles, but why did they speak that way??
Same goes for those 90's "dad" voices!

That is actually interesting as fuck. I never realized this was a thing, but now that I think about it, people in old movies do have a unique way of speaking.
In old Egyptian movies, it was classy for female actresses to pronounce the letter "r" the same way it is pronounced in French, but when speaking native Arabic. In turn, the public started to do this. In the late 70s and into the early 80s it was popular for Egyptian male actors, then the public, to push their bottom teeth out when smiling, apparently to look like John Travolta!

If you speak with an accent is it fake? It's an accent that is not tied to a region but rather taught and learned for specific purposes...Or to sound classy.
My point was just that it wasn't a natural accent, it was a forced one that was used for entertainment and in public.
Maybe I do want to say a few words every now and then when I'm on my throne. That's my god given right. What a man does in his bathroom is his own business.
Yea, I'm an American learning arabic and even I can tell a difference between my young teachers speaking arabic in puplic vs my older teachers, but the times I hear the young ones on the phone to their family they sound like the older teachers. This fairly common in all languages I think.
I don't believe the accent the man in video has is a transatlantic accent. The transatlantic accent is more difficult to place between American and English whereas the man in the video has a blatantly American accent.
IIRC, it was not a natural accent, but rather an accent that was taught to performers, movie actors/actresses, radio hosts etc. Probably why we always associate this accent to Hollywood or famous people. Or if you're anything like me, it reminds me of Bioshock haha
I don't have a source for this but I remember reading something about the accent originally being used as a way to be heard clearly over early radio communication or something similar.
Actually, I think I can date this voice type as far back as Deems Taylor in Fantasia. Although Deems did have just a slightly more professional tone. The sarcasm is what really makes Davis (the juggler) sound 90's.

I think it might be called a Transatlantic (or Mid-Atlantic) accent. Purposefully integrating both American and British accent and as a poster noted, it's fake, or a better description would be that it was constructed specifically for a prupose and you wouldn't grow up with it but rather would learn it specifically for that use.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_accent
It's an old joke. George Gobel was on Johnny Carson, sitting between Dean Martin and Bob Hope (I think) He came up with that line about not fitting in.
If the first throw is from the guy with the Apple to the guy on stage, then the second throw is implied to be from the man on stage to the man in the crowd.
The funny part is he's effectively be throwing a bowling ball at the man in the crowd.

I guess I don't see how that's implied as he sets up that he'll be juggling all three, but perhaps you're right and that's what I'm missing.
Not sure if your referring to the linked video or OP's video. Anyway, check out OPs video at around the 5:08 mark. Notice how he's talking directly to the person in the crowd, and people laugh specifically when he lifts the bowling ball
The line I quoted in particular, or the entire nature of the videos?
Not all comedy is for everyone, you might not be missing anything at all - maybe you just don't enjoy this guy's act, but there's clearly quite a few here that do!

No, no. I thought he was very funny. It was specifically the line about the second throw being the bowling ball that I didn't/don't get. Someone described it as it being implied that the juggler would throw the bowling ball to the man in the audience on the second throw, but I don't get that was implied since he sets up that he'll be juggling all three together.
If you screw up the first throw of the juggle, I'll screw up the second. Get it right this time, apple man.

When he is saying that he has the second throw he switches how he holds the bowling ball to a shot put throw. Which implies he will be throwing the bowling ball to him after he throws the apple.
That is the joke! He's poking fun by saying "make sure your throw is good, or I'll throw this bowling ball at you". It's just silly!

I guess I didn't get that implication or that they'd start "long distance juggling" as others have implied, but apparently I'm the odd one out here. XD
He says the audience member throwing the apple back to him was very important as it would start up the juggling. It is implied that the juggling would be just him juggling 3 objects. Joke is that it would actually be long distance bowling ball juggling. Subversion or something.
It's possible you just don't find it funny but on the off chance you didn't understand it:
What he meant by having the second throw was that the guy throws the apple at him and he throws the bowling ball at the guy (2 person juggling), the implication that his throw better be on target lest he be pegged by a bowling ball in return.
The apostrophe is wrong in both cases because the words you're possessivizing are both pronouns. Only possessive nouns get apostrophes. When you possessivize a pronoun, you only need to add an "s" to the end.
But it's a possessive apostrophe, no? If it belonged to the girl, wouldn't I say it's her's?
Yup, just like toastyghost said, it would be "hers" since it is a pronoun and not a noun. If it was a guy you would say it is "his". You would not say it is "him's".
It is...
His
Hers
Theirs
Mine
Yours
This is (his, her, their, my, your) ball.
It is (his, hers, theirs, mine, yours).

It's always funny to see such comments haha. People think politicians are somehow all awfully anti social people because we tend to dislike their policies, their behavior, etc.
Fact is - you don't become president or senator while being anti social. You won't raise money, you won't be liked by anyone if you don't have strong social awareness.
I've met a few senators and representatives, my friends dad ran for governor and so we had dinner at his place sometimes with politicians.
They're incredibly polished and charming. Even the guys I knew I disliked because of shit policy and had taken money from lobbies I hate... at the end of the dinner I'd want to be their friend. I'd at least want to continue to chit chat because they could connect with me on ANY topic.
The older guys were especially adorable - I was recently married at the time, so they and their wives would make some "oh you're newlyweds" type jokes to my wife and I. They'd give me advice on being married with a wink and a smile. They'd encourage me to have another drink ("you can't at my age. you boys go on and have one for me")
Again - these were guys whose policy I HATED. still hate. But damn they can be charismatic as hell (especially the senators I met...)

This is always true if you catch them in their element. Obviously someone at a political dinner is going to be on the ball and have their charm turned on. Some politicians, however, have simply learned it as a skill as opposed to it being quality of their person. For example, I ran into my Senator when I lived in Florida(Webster was h8s name I think, no clue if he's still sitting) flying to DC on a commercial jet. He had the charm of a brick through a glass window, no class, no talk, just awkward stand a d great. Since then, I've run into a few other politicians outside of events, and it's become easy to tell who learned socialite as a skill vs who has it as a quality. It's an interesting insight.

Not a factor in charisma. Looking well-put together is important (nice clothes, nice haircut, etc.) but you don't have to be beautiful to be charismatic
It would be exhausting to always be "on." The more recognizable you are the more instances you're thrust into social situations where people expect something from you (charisma, jokes, smiles, whatever). That is draining even for socialites.
Also, no one wants to fucking talk on a plane.

And just to add. Things are a lot more complicated in politics than people realize. Not saying it justifies it, but they can be put in a difficult position. So just cause someone has different core values doesn't mean they aren't a good person. But these days it seems like you got to pick a side which is the complete opposite of what we should be doing.
Anti-social is the wrong word. Antisocial is seen as a personality disorder in which a person has little disregard for rules, laws, or how their actions effect other people.
Politicians are in many ways antisocial. One of the hallmark traits of an antisocial or sociopath is charisma and the ability to quickly ingratiate themselves with other people. Of course, they really don't give a shit about you, but the charisma and charm is used as a means to gain your trust that they're a pretty swell guy. Once they have that, the manipulation begins. Politicians pull this shit all the time. They ingratiate themselves with the poor and unfortunate using charm and sympathy as a means to cater to people who don't know any better. What you rarely see in a politician are things like self-deprecation, acknowledgment of wrong-doing, and empathy. That's because the attitude of a sociopath, antisocial person, cluster B, etc. is a heightened since of self in relation to other people and little care, at the core, of the consequences of their fuck-ups.
TL;DR, Antisocial is a perfect description of some politicians and those with power and influence. You'd rather use the term asocial to describe someone who has little interaction with other people.
I ran into George W Bush in the middle of a long run in the woods. He was with a huge group of bikers. My group waited at the entrance to the trails for them to finish so we could meet him. Man, there's little I liked about his presidency but that man was charming and fantastic to talk to.
How can you not understand it's just an act? Spending time around such people is pure torture. They specifically surround themselves with people who can't see through their fakenes.
I think this really highlights the outcome of practice and reps/repetitions. Host dinner parties and raise money as a major aspect of your career for so many years and the warmth, charm, and charisma naturally develop. For an actor who has to rehearse different settings and mindsets and interactions, even quicker.
We think these are innate traits โ and sure, some pick it up faster than others โ but it's just reps. It's why we all get better at this as we get older... more reps, conscious or otherwise.
Yeah... I'm not sure you're right. There is big a difference between being sociable in person and being good in front of people or on camera. I'm sure George Bush Jr. is a pleasant and sociable person, but you certainly couldn't call him a master orator.
The backhanded compliment you responded to was referring more to someone being charming on camera than it is someone being a good guest to have at a dinner party.

Almost as if he was a movie star or something...
But in all seriousness, the difference between a successful politician and one that isn't successful is how good they are at charming people into giving them money. Literally their job is to raise funds so they can continue to raise funds so they can keep their jobs so they can continue to raise funds etc etc.
I'm not a fan of Clinton as president. But I do like the guy.
I was a TA in undergrad. Had an opportunity to meet him through some state political function. Nearly a year later, at a different function I had the chance to meet him again. I introduced myself with just my name and he jumps in and asks how my teaching was going and if I was still thinking about law school. The dude must have shook thousands of hands in that year and somehow this motherfucker remembers the TA from a 5 minute interaction a year ago. It was ridiculous.

I would think it would be harder to juggle the bowling ball, egg and apple. When you're juggling that fast you'd think he might forget how hardly or softly to catch and throw each item.
They still have talent. But this perfect combination of wit, humor and charisma with the juggling act is very rare. As previous posters have mentioned, people who possess those other qualities usually don't become entertainers and jugglers. They work where the real money and power is at.

I am physically crying with laughter on a busy train, everyone looking at me uneasily...
For me, it's not that they're doing anything I haven't seen other physical comedians do. It's that they're doing them with amazing timing, and really well. Particularly the sequence at the end.
Yeah, just about anyone could do most of those tricks once if you gave them an hour to repeat them until they got it right.
But these guys are literally perfect through 6 minutes and about 60 gags, perfect on the transitions between those gags, and they work together in perfect synchronization.
It's like those artists that make "simple" art that sells for millions. It's only something you think you could do after seeing someone really creative pull it off first and perfectly to boot. These guys are awesome, and the fact that they have a non-verbal act that's wildly hilarious is really impressive.
Part of the charm of that joke though was how obvious what they were actually doing was though, punctuated by him pulling away the cover to reveal the dude.
I don't disagree, but I don't think it takes anything away either.
"While some images (especially tintypes and ambrotypes) have a rosy tint added to the cheeks of the corpse, it is untrue that metal stands and other devices were used to pose the dead as though they were living. The use by photographers of a stand or arm rest (sometimes referred to as a Brady stand), which aided living persons to remain still long enough for the camera's lengthy exposure time, has given rise to this myth. While 19th-century people may have wished their loved ones to look their best in a memorial photograph, evidence of a metal stand should be understood as proof that the subject was a living person."
Check out the book "Wisconsin Death Trip" It's an interesting mix of old photos and newspaper articles from a small town in Wisconsin. Lots of photos of dead babies in it.
I listened to the audio book, read by Wayne Static.

Pretty sure the wooden stand and the holding the chair was to help the subject remain steady during the long exposure time of old cameras. Though I may be wrong.
It was not uncommon to preserve dead bodies for a short while to take pictures with them for record purposes. Pictures were expensive and more rare back then and families wanted to get photos.
Death photography. Photographs were expensive and only done on special occasion. Most people had never had their picture taken so when someone died their families would sometimes have them photographed so they'd have a picture. Sometimes the person would be obviously dead but sometimes they tried to make them look alive by propping them up.
While contents of the video were also pleasing, I found the use of moving pictures combined with sound to be particular delightful. What a clever idea. Good show, old bean!

I lived in Germany for a year, I don't think I remember a single person shouting but everyone thinks of Hitler's speeches when they imagine hearing German. I wonder if it's what made Hitler stand out so much. In any case the post WWII German accent is rather quiet.
edit- by stand out, I'm referring to his oration skills only, I understand there was much more to Hitler that I learned in history class to make him notable, and bad.
There was a time where that really dry style of humour was popular but I don't think you see it much anymore, which is too bad because I always loved it.
There's some great clips of Charles Grodin I'll see if I can find.
Honestly if anyone here wants to learn its not very hard. I did it simply by trial and error, and it only took like a couple weeks to master it with maybe like 30 minutes of practice every other day. Just look up a youtube video or guide for the beginning basics and keep trying. (Though I am only talking about juggling 3 balls)
Yeah, it just takes a lot of practice to be able to juggle 3 balls, let alone different objects, or more than 3, or jiggling while performing, etc. I have a lot of respect for jugglers.
It just takes practice. I practiced for 5-10 minutes a day and within 2 weeks I could easily juggle 3 balls. It's easier to learn to juggle 3 balls starting with no experience than it is to go from being able to juggle 3 balls to 4.

You can learn to juggle tennis balls in about 30m, if you're slow.
Juggling objects of varying weight while eating one of them is really fucking tough. That last trick was damn impressive, even if he did screw it up (or maybe that was intentional)
I was really surprised he was able to keep juggling all three even though they all had vastly different weights. Especially with the bowling ball being so heavy! Amazing he didn't grow tired from it.
You could probably put this routine together after about 3-4 months of juggling. Even less if you don't learn the reverse shoulder throw that he did in the middle of that bit with the drop cover.
edit: It's still a good routine and very funny. It is just not a difficult juggling routine. Nothing in it would pose any challenge for someone who has been juggling for even a year.
Alright alright, I'm sure you're an amazing juggler buddy. No need to get insecure

As an aside, to me as a non-expert juggler everyday chum, six months of juggling practice is a pretty impressive commitment, and does indeed produce results that look pretty damn impressive.
This is literally the most minimal pro routine I've ever seen. It should be a study on how space works in an act, not a study on how impressive the apple meme is.
I'm not sure why "it's still a good routine and very funny" isn't enough for you. Why does this have to be the most impressive feat of human coordination of all time?
Yes, that's the bit. The multi-weight juggle is simply a setup for a slapstick-y egg in the face punchline. This is a comedy routine.
No one said the juggling was particularly impressive. Discussing the merits of the juggling is literally not the point, which is why you're being downvoted.

I'm a human... I'm not a computer. When talking about dates, I say "April Seventh, Twenty Seventeen". It wouldn't hurt my feelings if everyone started writing dates as Year, Month, Day... Largest value to smallest. It just makes sense.
Oh right yeah, fair enough. I thought we were talking about speaking. Now that I think about it, we are on Reddit and we are writing dates, so I see what you mean. Having grown up in a place where it's DD/MM/YYYY and now that I'm living in the US (MM/DD/YYYY), it'd be great if we could switch to writing it as YYYY/MM/DD while still saying month day year.
That's what aviation uses. Lets say a runway was going to be closed tomorrow at noon through 1pm Easter, the dates would read 201704081200-201704161300. Clear as mud.

because of both established standards DDMMYYYY and MMDDYYYY the only logical standard to use is YYYYMMDD.
Anyone with half a brain that actually thinks about it will come to the same conclusion.
I don't disagree that YYYYMMDD makes the most sense, but at another level, you're implying that setting a third standard in addition to two established standards is more logical.
That kind of doesn't make practical sense when you consider the likelihood of people actually converting to the usage of the third standard. It's just more difficult is all I'm saying, and so it's not as clearcut as the most logical method.

I'll never understand the reason for this debate. It's like the imperial vs. metric argument. Yes, one makes more sense than the other, but at the same time both make enough sense to be used worldwide with little consequence other than conversion or "Oh wait it's the other method."
Okay that sounds right actually. (I think they both work depending on how you write it i.e. 4 July 2017 vs July 4, 2017 and I actually think the only difference for the numerical version is what's considered normal where you live, which for me is 7/4/2017) But, being a lazy American, not having to say the extra word makes a big difference haha and is probably why that way is used here.

The year is the least significant portion, if you're talking about events that will occur within a few weeks, as is most common in everyday conversation.

DMY isnt really that great
MDY makes more sense and gives a quicker relevant reference of time
When you want to know when a a movie is coming out, what's the most relevant info you need first? It's the month. Why? Year is implied, if not then it's far enough out that it shouldn't matter. Day is useful, but every month has approximately the same number of days, it could be a week away or months.
Months is the most relevant info you need first to give quickest accurate approximation of when the movie/event takes place.
DMY is the equivalent to giving the minutes before the hour. Like saying it's ."35:2,"
I'd like to see some studies on it, but I feel left-to-right reading matching with left-to-right increasing size of units, means cognitively it's much easier to read it and zero in on the part that's most relevant to me in different contexts.
DMY or YMD - at least there's some logic to either of these going from/to shortest time period to longest. If someone writes 07-04-2017 - what possible reason is there to imagine that 07 is the month?
It would be like writing time as MM:HH:SS. and expecting everyone to realise that when you write 11:03:45 you really mean 11 past 3 in the morning.
DMY is like telling time by calling out the minutes first. we dont read clocks as 30:5 because the hour is the most relevant info to approximating where in the day you are at. Why? because it could be half past 5am or half past 11pm. the ":30" gives you more precise info, but its highly variable.
Why should someone assume that 7/4/2017 is MDY? because you should learn how a date is written because its the most practical way.
Beside the fact that a lot of people do read the time as "12 past 3" I have no problem with MD or "April the 7th" or even saying/writing "April the 7th 2017" but when written as 4/7/2017 it becomes very ambiguous, so it would seem logical (at least to me!) to stick with a convention where as you progress along the numbers the 'significance' of the digit is either going up or down.
I guess that 2017.04.07 makes the most sense from that point of view.
because the 9 can either mean 2 days from now or 6 months from now. Month gives you a quicker sense of scale of how far away something is from you current date.
also, imagine trying to catalog something by day? it would be ridiculous. seeing a 9 first could mean January or June. As a month it ONLY means September end of summer.

The argument could be applied to literally all 3 methods. It all depends if you're talking about something within the same Month or same year.
Knowing the month first is just as useless as knowing the day first if it happens in a different year.
He explained it perfectly. You go from largest unit to smallest to dial in specificity, but year is usually a given/implied and therefore skipped.
Our written format follows the colloquial spoken format. You only use the day if it's coming soon, you use Month/Day if it's in the coming year.
Granted I am not saying it's a superior format or anything, just that it's as sensible as any other for the vast majority of usage. If we all want to be exacting in documentation, for example, we might as well switch to Unix Epoch or Star Date.

Out of interest, do American passports use day month year?
You're acting as if knowing the month or day first is relevant in every situation. You have cherry picked an example to back that up.
If you're trying to read a date without any external information or situation present, it logically makes sense to have it either Day-Month-Year, or Year-Month-Day.
When I want to know what numbered day of the month something happened, and I see 8-7-2017 I'm going to be left wondering for a long time whether it's July 8th or August 7th - because of people like you thinking that something like the date should be put out of logical order.
edit - Year-Month-Day is just as cool; in fact better for referencing stuff IMO.
If you're trying to read a date without any external information or situation present, it logically makes sense to have it either Day-Month-Year, or Year-Month-Day.
no it doesnt. the day has 12 potential possibilities. at first glance, the 5th could mean a week away or months away. Giving the month immediately gives you an approximation of how far away an event is and where in the year it will take place or took place.
An event happening on the 5th means nothing, and event happening in June already gives 2x as much info.
The reason why year is last is because its the last thing you need to worry about in relation to time (as far as practical day to day living) Either its the same year, or its a year or more away.
Every argument you use is entirely situational and relies on these hypothetical events happening in this year.
There are an endless number of reasons why someone would be looking for a date in an archive of sorts - in which case without any prior information having the date be done in either D-M-Y or the reverse makes complete sense.
so if i gave you a bunch of dates in a year, what would you use FIRST to organize them by?
Not day because then you could mix up 10 April as being before 12 February. You need to organize by month first. The larger the period of time (years, decades, centuries) the LESS relevant day is.
Starting with day is the least practical way to organize dates.
The only "situation" im using are situations where the order of dates are important, how else would this make sense? You are arguing the ridiculous idea that every relevant date happens within 4 weeks. Thats asinine unless you're in elementary school.
If you're looking through archives, seeing the day first does NOT make the most sense. a day does not give you an accurate time WHEN something has been archived. Ive dealt with archives and MOST folders/files are organized by month, then you look at a month for a DAY, not the other way around. It just doesnt make sense.

Sorry but that's not true. DMY is way more useful than MDY since people are more concerned with what they're doing within the next few days/weeks more than they are the next few months, making DMY more useful for everyday life.
no, people are more concerned about what they are doing monthly. Not every appointment, or event happens during the same month.
how would you file a bunch of dates by DAY first? wouldnt you NEED to look at the month to make sense of when things are happening? The 9th of April is completely different that the 9th of September. Its makes far more sense to organize by month, then go specifically to day. its just logic

You're both cherry picking situations that back up your argument.. How the he'll would you know if what I'm doing Monthly is more Important.
If something is happening next month, just telling me it's happen In may could mean it's anywhere from 3 to 7 weeks away. Just as useless on its own without knowing the day.
Personally I need to know what's happening the next few days/weeks Infinitely more than a few months. But the doesn't mean everyone does.
If it is something like say a video game coming out in November you might only use the month and not even worry about the day until it's closer. Then when it's closer you'd use the day and not bother with the Month because it's irrelevant once you're in November. The argument goes both ways.
Yeah, as that one guy said, hugely situational. You're right, if you want to know, say, when the festival is happening, you'd start with the month. Unless, y'know, it was happening this month...
D-M-Y makes more sense if you consider how often you need each piece of information - your day-to-day needs are... oh shit, it's right there in the name! The most important dates you need are the ones fast approaching, so it's actually the month that's implied, in general. It's not like putting the minutes first, because now you're ignoring seconds. Truthfully, Y-M-D probably makes the most sense for record keeping purposes (especially if you're trying to program a database...), and in while we're on the subject that's the order of operations for time, too.
YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS is nice because it's completely endian but I usually don't have any concept of the year it is and I'm conflicted that I do HHMMSS DDMMYYYY. Are you the only guys who say something like five and half twenty/eight (fem i halv kl. tyve/otte) to say 19:25?
No idea if we're the only ones to do it, but yes, colloquially you could say "fem i halv otte (five to half eight)" to say 19:25. I think this also causes confusion for Danes when in Britain where "half eight" is 20:30, if I'm not mistaken.

The point is that if you use that format you don't need to perform any operations other than sorting alphabetically. i.e. in a file explorer or any other standard-ish way of sorting columns.
Fair enough. I was a teenager and it was probably around 30 years ago when I saw this on TV, so I'm not surprised I didn't remember that part. Makes it even funnier, though.

Why is this song making a comeback?? It came on the radio twice yesterday during my hour and a half commute, and then my roommate played it yesterday afternoon, and now this?? I like it, so I don't mind, just so random.
Yes, that was good timing, but it was actually the (clearly scripted joke that he wrote and performed dozens of times) that was impressive, not the actual timing in that case. The timing would be fairly easy once observed. Most anyone can duplicate that timing.
I remember watching Comic Relief in the 1980's, Michael Davis was always a highlight of the show. I miss Comic relief. It raised millions for the homeless causes and routinely featured Whoopi Goldberg, Robin Williams and Billy Crystal.
One of the other great parts about this video is the absence of 5 cuts per minute to various audience members laughing. I get motion sickness watching standup now.
What the hell English are you guys speaking?! Omikron's use of obscure is completely correct here. It might be a little poetic, but as it reads, they are clearly saying that the juggler is referencing poverty in an extremely vague way. Words have different meanings based on their context, and here obscure is obviously a synonym for vague. How do you have 92 upvotes? I feel like I'm on crazy pills.
Argh, my bad, I guess. I was writing in a hurry and trying to come up with a nice word for "hard to guess the meaning without knowing the context of what he's saying". And to be fair, looking at the 3rd point of the definition there, it definitely holds. Maybe indirect, or playful, would have been better word choices, but I'm not gonna edit it now! :P
Every kid in the US from like the 1940s to the 1980s, when being a picky eater, heard their parents say "eat it, there are starving children in india|africa|china." I'm not sure if they do this anymore. Either it is no longer politically correct to say, or people are now conscious of the fact that there are also starving people here in the US.
You got downvoted, but I feel the same way. I think it's merely the pacing of his delivery coupled with a general focus on quick setups and one-liners.
A few years ago I was at a Teatro Zinzanni show in Seattle. I had great seats, right on the main floor, and the performer asked for a show of hands of people who could juggle. I raised my hand and he walked past me and discreetly whispered "Put your hand down. You don't want this." So I did. The guy he picked from the audience proceeded to get all sorts of (funny) shit done to him ending with a pie to the face.
After the show I was standing in the lobby and he appeared. "Aren't you glad I told you to put your hand down?"
"God, yes!" I answered. "Thank you. Hey, you look familiar. Why do you look familiar?"
He shrugged and smiled, and we parted ways.
I was a HUGE Michael Davis fan in the 1980s. I had forgotten his name. It wasn't until I got home that I realized who it was I'd shared that moment with.
In the early 80s, I would watch the Saturday Night Live intro with bated breath in hopes that Michael Davis would be its "Special Guest" for the night -- the guy was amazing! (He and Penn & Teller were often featured during the Eddie Murphy era. Davis, Penn & Teller and Larry the Lobster may have been the only things that saved the 6-year-old show from cancellation.)
Did you call during the Larry the Lobster thing? I did. I loved Michael Davis on SNL back then too. I also loved those short films they'd make, like the male synchronized swimmers ("I know you! I know you!).
Ha! I definitely called. That seemed like such a crazy new idea at the time: It was almost like talking directly to the TV and seeing what would happen. The 1980s equivalent of "Alexa, show me a live lobster."

This guy was gold Jerry, GOLD!
I just had a weird flash back from my childhood. A performance such as this, a comedy stage act with props. Very enjoyable, the guy takes his leg off at one point and has 3 legs. Does wacky stuff.... the Peter Gun " theme music was playing too. Man I know he's famous but can't pin point it.
The fact that I suspected it would be Art of Noise even before I dug up the video was another of the many "Jesus shit, I'm old" moments I experience on Reddit.
I've mentioned this before, but I live in fear of the day I see a completely sincere TIL about the events of 9/11.
I'm pretty blown away... I honestly have no idea how some of this stuff was done. That's some impressive slight of hand/legs/arms/whatever.

Yea I was wondering that too, but at the end you can see that he is really only holding the black drape with one hand. The hand on the left is still on the drape when he sets it down. And the extra legs never moved unless his hands were in his pockets, so.....

Haha amazing thx . That's it. Tried searching '3 legs'. It was 4. I used to watch the shut out of this. It was a simpler time....
Holy shit. that is the best bit i've seen in a long long time! When he picks up 5 balls and puts 2 back I burst out laughing.
Love how he juggles 3 and occasionally does one behind the back during, been trying to perfect that for ages.. you have no idea how quick you have to be until you try it.
Also what he does at the end with the bowling ball, apple and egg is WAY harder than juggling 5 balls. what a true legend
I don't want to come off as le-wrong-generation. But I feel like I don't see this type of humor that much any more. It's probably just what I'm exposed to. I see a lot of "alternative" comics, whatever that means exactly. I guess stuff like Louie CK. And don't get me wrong, I really like that kind of humor, but I'd like to see more of this style.
Can anyone recommend any comedians/performers that have acts like this? Youtube videos, etc?
I come back to this video every few months or so to see a true showman in the art of their craft. His patter is perfect. His comedy timing is impeccable.
I'm a musician. I often point to comedians and magicians as examples for my students to follow in terms of stage presence. If one wants to perform better on stage, presence and confidence are everything. This, of course, only comes after hours of disciplined practice puts the confidence in the right places.
I think there has been a bit of a movement back to more joke-orientated comedy. There were great. Comedians like Bem Elton, Bill Hicks and Dennis Leary who were full of anger and spite, but it kinda started to get old. Certainly in the UK there have been comics like Tim Vine and Peter Kay who do very little in the way of swearing, or do much comedy at the expense of a victim. I'm sort of glad. Guys like Frankie Boyle just seemed to go out of their way to say something shocking, and usually at someone elses expense.

The difference between a "dude who can juggle" and a juggling comedian (or comedian who juggles) is not subtle, it's significant. In fact it's two entirely different talents and skills. It's certainly not just "timing".

I saw this guy when I was 8 or 9, in the late 80's. He preformed at a Honeywell bull corporate thing. My dad worked there. It had to be my first live performance.
He's really good at self-deprecation as well. I'm guilty of this myself, but there's a line between making people laugh by talking yourself down and just outright stating your own flaws, shortcomings, and insecurities. This guy knows that line and walks it perfectly.
And nowโ.....watch closely as I press this upvote button. Came here for a Syria update, left with something less syrias. Death and destruction can wait.
This is a perfect example of busking. Every year a huge busker festival was hosted in my city and the best performers were not the ones who mastered incredible feats it was the ones who could work a crowd and make them laugh. All you have to do is master one trick and then draw out the lead up to the trick. The best guy I saw was literally a stand up comedian he had the crowd laughing in hysterics for half an hour leading up to his one trick which was juggling machetes on a unicycle for about one minute.

I am a dude that can juggle meaning I have no act. Someone gets word that I can juggle and all the sudden everyone start putting objects in front of me. I can't turn it down because it's usually at parties and everyone eggs me on.
It is so awkward to just stand there and juggle. No talking, no smiling, nothing but juggling. The room is silent, all eyes on you, and you have to somehow make it interesting and less about showing off. (Even though it was not my idea to show anything or did I think I would even be juggling that day)
People get bored of that really quick and I often don't know how to end it so I either keep going for too long or drop something and run away.
Sometimes I get a few claps, but it never really got me any street cred other than when someone is talking about juggling I pop in their head.
The conversation usually goes:
Person A: "We went to the circus last night, Jimmy really loved the juggling clowns he was so mesmorized and couldn't stop talking about it on the way home."
Person B: "Oh that's so cute! Oh you know who can juggle? Srillu can juggle he is so good!"
Party over hears and unanimously: "Really!? You can juggle!? I didn't know that, let's see!!"
That's when they catch me with my leg out the window trying to make my escape. They hand me a baseball, a golf ball, and an apple. I stand there, juggle for 60 seconds, throw a few tricks in, and then stop. A few claps and smiles, some people still look bored, and then I escape to the alcohol table or the front door.
I love his type of comedy, found myself laughing way more then with some of today's comedic stand up shows. Anyone know any more shows that were really funny from him?

I recall watching this maybe when it first appeared on TV, OP is so right, his delivery is perfection, he never juggles more then 3 balls (items) and even makes a mistake but he kills it
That was a lot of laughs in ~6 minutes. Even comedy today usually has me laughing less frequently. Strange because most old comedy doesn't quite hold up, and yet no joke here felt dated or over-used or generic.
I love this. Im a mc/dj and love to act like this guy is(obviously hes about 1000x better) when i get to talk to my crowd a bunch. This guys routine is some serious inspiration. I cant wait to use the "that was stupid....and it seemed like a favorite so far...".
I perform for a living now so meet lots of jugglers and magicians. It seems like the best ones are skilled at working comedy into their act. Same with public speakers i suppose. Humor makes people like you!

I run into "dude[s] that can juggle" at least once a week, thinking they're hot shit, the next Michael fucking Jackson. I show them this video and they take off running, tail between their legs. Fuck them.
Nothing new here. A person who is an expert need not be the best teacher or a showman. Teaching and showmanship are specific skills that need to be mastered separately. In the history of humanity, the brightest students did not become the best teachers.
His vocal timing, the deadpan. The man knows how to deliver a joke. Also, the bit where with the apple being thrown onto the stage... he clearly knew to wait for the guy to be about to throw and too late to stop before he said "wait until I tell you..." the audience itself couldn't see, so the bit came off perfectly.
OP's title made me think of that Chris Bliss juggling routine to a Beatles medley. It was great fun and entertaining, largely due to his timing and exaggerated expressions. Then I saw a video of someone else performing the same routine, but with more balls in a more technically-impressive manner, and I was bored half way through because it just wasn't very entertaining.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find good videos of either online, probably due to the Beatles music meaning it gets taken down quickly. The versions I found on YouTube were either terrible video quality (can't even see the balls moving at times) or had the audio removed/replaced.
I loved it, but I must admit that I was quite disappointed with the egg. Everything he did was simple but delivered in such a blunt and unexpected way...that's why they hit home. The egg was 100% predictable. I would have called this the perfect routine had it ended with the dropped apple.
It could have. I was so occupied expecting him to bite the egg...I knew it was going to happen...that had anything else happened instead I would have been impressed.

In old Egyptian movies, it was classy for female actresses to pronounce the letter "r" the same way it is pronounced in French, but when speaking native Arabic. In turn, the public started to do this. In the late 70s and into the early 80s it was popular for Egyptian male actors, then the public, to push their bottom teeth out when smiling, apparently to look like John Travolta!

IIRC, it was not a natural accent, but rather an accent that was taught to performers, movie actors/actresses, radio hosts etc. Probably why we always associate this accent to Hollywood or famous people. Or if you're anything like me, it reminds me of Bioshock haha

I think it might be called a Transatlantic (or Mid-Atlantic) accent. Purposefully integrating both American and British accent and as a poster noted, it's fake, or a better description would be that it was constructed specifically for a prupose and you wouldn't grow up with it but rather would learn it specifically for that use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_accent

If the first throw is from the guy with the Apple to the guy on stage, then the second throw is implied to be from the man on stage to the man in the crowd.
The funny part is he's effectively be throwing a bowling ball at the man in the crowd.

I guess I don't see how that's implied as he sets up that he'll be juggling all three, but perhaps you're right and that's what I'm missing.

Not sure if your referring to the linked video or OP's video. Anyway, check out OPs video at around the 5:08 mark. Notice how he's talking directly to the person in the crowd, and people laugh specifically when he lifts the bowling ball

No, no. I thought he was very funny. It was specifically the line about the second throw being the bowling ball that I didn't/don't get. Someone described it as it being implied that the juggler would throw the bowling ball to the man in the audience on the second throw, but I don't get that was implied since he sets up that he'll be juggling all three together.

When he is saying that he has the second throw he switches how he holds the bowling ball to a shot put throw. Which implies he will be throwing the bowling ball to him after he throws the apple.

He says the audience member throwing the apple back to him was very important as it would start up the juggling. It is implied that the juggling would be just him juggling 3 objects. Joke is that it would actually be long distance bowling ball juggling. Subversion or something.

It's possible you just don't find it funny but on the off chance you didn't understand it:
What he meant by having the second throw was that the guy throws the apple at him and he throws the bowling ball at the guy (2 person juggling), the implication that his throw better be on target lest he be pegged by a bowling ball in return.

The apostrophe is wrong in both cases because the words you're possessivizing are both pronouns. Only possessive nouns get apostrophes. When you possessivize a pronoun, you only need to add an "s" to the end.

It's always funny to see such comments haha. People think politicians are somehow all awfully anti social people because we tend to dislike their policies, their behavior, etc.
Fact is - you don't become president or senator while being anti social. You won't raise money, you won't be liked by anyone if you don't have strong social awareness.
I've met a few senators and representatives, my friends dad ran for governor and so we had dinner at his place sometimes with politicians.
They're incredibly polished and charming. Even the guys I knew I disliked because of shit policy and had taken money from lobbies I hate... at the end of the dinner I'd want to be their friend. I'd at least want to continue to chit chat because they could connect with me on ANY topic.
The older guys were especially adorable - I was recently married at the time, so they and their wives would make some "oh you're newlyweds" type jokes to my wife and I. They'd give me advice on being married with a wink and a smile. They'd encourage me to have another drink ("you can't at my age. you boys go on and have one for me")
Again - these were guys whose policy I HATED. still hate. But damn they can be charismatic as hell (especially the senators I met...)
CueCueQQ ยท 105 points ยท Posted at 15:43:22 on April 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
This is always true if you catch them in their element. Obviously someone at a political dinner is going to be on the ball and have their charm turned on. Some politicians, however, have simply learned it as a skill as opposed to it being quality of their person. For example, I ran into my Senator when I lived in Florida(Webster was h8s name I think, no clue if he's still sitting) flying to DC on a commercial jet. He had the charm of a brick through a glass window, no class, no talk, just awkward stand a d great. Since then, I've run into a few other politicians outside of events, and it's become easy to tell who learned socialite as a skill vs who has it as a quality. It's an interesting insight.

It would be exhausting to always be "on." The more recognizable you are the more instances you're thrust into social situations where people expect something from you (charisma, jokes, smiles, whatever). That is draining even for socialites.

And just to add. Things are a lot more complicated in politics than people realize. Not saying it justifies it, but they can be put in a difficult position. So just cause someone has different core values doesn't mean they aren't a good person. But these days it seems like you got to pick a side which is the complete opposite of what we should be doing.

Anti-social is the wrong word. Antisocial is seen as a personality disorder in which a person has little disregard for rules, laws, or how their actions effect other people.
Politicians are in many ways antisocial. One of the hallmark traits of an antisocial or sociopath is charisma and the ability to quickly ingratiate themselves with other people. Of course, they really don't give a shit about you, but the charisma and charm is used as a means to gain your trust that they're a pretty swell guy. Once they have that, the manipulation begins. Politicians pull this shit all the time. They ingratiate themselves with the poor and unfortunate using charm and sympathy as a means to cater to people who don't know any better. What you rarely see in a politician are things like self-deprecation, acknowledgment of wrong-doing, and empathy. That's because the attitude of a sociopath, antisocial person, cluster B, etc. is a heightened since of self in relation to other people and little care, at the core, of the consequences of their fuck-ups.
TL;DR, Antisocial is a perfect description of some politicians and those with power and influence. You'd rather use the term asocial to describe someone who has little interaction with other people.

I ran into George W Bush in the middle of a long run in the woods. He was with a huge group of bikers. My group waited at the entrance to the trails for them to finish so we could meet him. Man, there's little I liked about his presidency but that man was charming and fantastic to talk to.

I think this really highlights the outcome of practice and reps/repetitions. Host dinner parties and raise money as a major aspect of your career for so many years and the warmth, charm, and charisma naturally develop. For an actor who has to rehearse different settings and mindsets and interactions, even quicker.
We think these are innate traits โ and sure, some pick it up faster than others โ but it's just reps. It's why we all get better at this as we get older... more reps, conscious or otherwise.

Yeah... I'm not sure you're right. There is big a difference between being sociable in person and being good in front of people or on camera. I'm sure George Bush Jr. is a pleasant and sociable person, but you certainly couldn't call him a master orator.
The backhanded compliment you responded to was referring more to someone being charming on camera than it is someone being a good guest to have at a dinner party.

Almost as if he was a movie star or something...
But in all seriousness, the difference between a successful politician and one that isn't successful is how good they are at charming people into giving them money. Literally their job is to raise funds so they can continue to raise funds so they can keep their jobs so they can continue to raise funds etc etc.

I'm not a fan of Clinton as president. But I do like the guy. I was a TA in undergrad. Had an opportunity to meet him through some state political function. Nearly a year later, at a different function I had the chance to meet him again. I introduced myself with just my name and he jumps in and asks how my teaching was going and if I was still thinking about law school. The dude must have shook thousands of hands in that year and somehow this motherfucker remembers the TA from a 5 minute interaction a year ago. It was ridiculous.

That must have been pre-assassination attempt... no way the Secret Service would let 3 bladed objects that close to the President. Though I am sure there was a sniper in the wings (as Chris Rock told Louis CK).
edit: Holy shit, I was wrong. This performance was September 25, 1982, and Regan was shot March 30, 1981... I bet bricks were shat by the Secret Service Detail.

They still have talent. But this perfect combination of wit, humor and charisma with the juggling act is very rare. As previous posters have mentioned, people who possess those other qualities usually don't become entertainers and jugglers. They work where the real money and power is at.

Yeah, just about anyone could do most of those tricks once if you gave them an hour to repeat them until they got it right.
But these guys are literally perfect through 6 minutes and about 60 gags, perfect on the transitions between those gags, and they work together in perfect synchronization.
It's like those artists that make "simple" art that sells for millions. It's only something you think you could do after seeing someone really creative pull it off first and perfectly to boot. These guys are awesome, and the fact that they have a non-verbal act that's wildly hilarious is really impressive.

No one in this photo was dead.
"While some images (especially tintypes and ambrotypes) have a rosy tint added to the cheeks of the corpse, it is untrue that metal stands and other devices were used to pose the dead as though they were living. The use by photographers of a stand or arm rest (sometimes referred to as a Brady stand), which aided living persons to remain still long enough for the camera's lengthy exposure time, has given rise to this myth. While 19th-century people may have wished their loved ones to look their best in a memorial photograph, evidence of a metal stand should be understood as proof that the subject was a living person."

It was not uncommon to preserve dead bodies for a short while to take pictures with them for record purposes. Pictures were expensive and more rare back then and families wanted to get photos.
Mystic_printer ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 13:24:53 on April 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Death photography. Photographs were expensive and only done on special occasion. Most people had never had their picture taken so when someone died their families would sometimes have them photographed so they'd have a picture. Sometimes the person would be obviously dead but sometimes they tried to make them look alive by propping them up.

I lived in Germany for a year, I don't think I remember a single person shouting but everyone thinks of Hitler's speeches when they imagine hearing German. I wonder if it's what made Hitler stand out so much. In any case the post WWII German accent is rather quiet.
edit- by stand out, I'm referring to his oration skills only, I understand there was much more to Hitler that I learned in history class to make him notable, and bad.

Honestly if anyone here wants to learn its not very hard. I did it simply by trial and error, and it only took like a couple weeks to master it with maybe like 30 minutes of practice every other day. Just look up a youtube video or guide for the beginning basics and keep trying. (Though I am only talking about juggling 3 balls)
swan_ronson_ ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 15:24:09 on April 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah, it just takes a lot of practice to be able to juggle 3 balls, let alone different objects, or more than 3, or jiggling while performing, etc. I have a lot of respect for jugglers.
Treypyro ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 21:59:37 on April 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It just takes practice. I practiced for 5-10 minutes a day and within 2 weeks I could easily juggle 3 balls. It's easier to learn to juggle 3 balls starting with no experience than it is to go from being able to juggle 3 balls to 4.

You could probably put this routine together after about 3-4 months of juggling. Even less if you don't learn the reverse shoulder throw that he did in the middle of that bit with the drop cover.
edit: It's still a good routine and very funny. It is just not a difficult juggling routine. Nothing in it would pose any challenge for someone who has been juggling for even a year.

Yes, that's the bit. The multi-weight juggle is simply a setup for a slapstick-y egg in the face punchline. This is a comedy routine.
No one said the juggling was particularly impressive. Discussing the merits of the juggling is literally not the point, which is why you're being downvoted.

YMD makes the most sense especially in this world of computers. I name many files with the date first so I know when they were created. YMD automatically puts them in order. Who wants to see all the files that were made in May of any year, then the 1st day of every month of each year.

because of both established standards DDMMYYYY and MMDDYYYY the only logical standard to use is YYYYMMDD.
Anyone with half a brain that actually thinks about it will come to the same conclusion.
theyellowgoat ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:13:31 on April 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I don't disagree that YYYYMMDD makes the most sense, but at another level, you're implying that setting a third standard in addition to two established standards is more logical.
That kind of doesn't make practical sense when you consider the likelihood of people actually converting to the usage of the third standard. It's just more difficult is all I'm saying, and so it's not as clearcut as the most logical method.

I'll never understand the reason for this debate. It's like the imperial vs. metric argument. Yes, one makes more sense than the other, but at the same time both make enough sense to be used worldwide with little consequence other than conversion or "Oh wait it's the other method."
It really doesn't impact anything that much in the end...unless we're talking about the Mars rover that cratered. That one impacted pretty hard.

Okay that sounds right actually. (I think they both work depending on how you write it i.e. 4 July 2017 vs July 4, 2017 and I actually think the only difference for the numerical version is what's considered normal where you live, which for me is 7/4/2017) But, being a lazy American, not having to say the extra word makes a big difference haha and is probably why that way is used here. Your reasoning doesn't make much sense to me though. Do you really use the smallest unit first for time? Or anything really? For time would it not be hours:minutes:seconds? Or for numbers the decimal is at the end?

DMY isnt really that great MDY makes more sense and gives a quicker relevant reference of time
When you want to know when a a movie is coming out, what's the most relevant info you need first? It's the month. Why? Year is implied, if not then it's far enough out that it shouldn't matter. Day is useful, but every month has approximately the same number of days, it could be a week away or months. Months is the most relevant info you need first to give quickest accurate approximation of when the movie/event takes place.
DMY is the equivalent to giving the minutes before the hour. Like saying it's ."35:2,"

DMY or YMD - at least there's some logic to either of these going from/to shortest time period to longest. If someone writes 07-04-2017 - what possible reason is there to imagine that 07 is the month?
It would be like writing time as MM:HH:SS. and expecting everyone to realise that when you write 11:03:45 you really mean 11 past 3 in the morning.
GameQb11 ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 15:14:52 on April 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
DMY is like telling time by calling out the minutes first. we dont read clocks as 30:5 because the hour is the most relevant info to approximating where in the day you are at. Why? because it could be half past 5am or half past 11pm. the ":30" gives you more precise info, but its highly variable.
Why should someone assume that 7/4/2017 is MDY? because you should learn how a date is written because its the most practical way.
PixiePooper ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:36:20 on April 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Beside the fact that a lot of people do read the time as "12 past 3" I have no problem with MD or "April the 7th" or even saying/writing "April the 7th 2017" but when written as 4/7/2017 it becomes very ambiguous, so it would seem logical (at least to me!) to stick with a convention where as you progress along the numbers the 'significance' of the digit is either going up or down.
I guess that 2017.04.07 makes the most sense from that point of view.

because the 9 can either mean 2 days from now or 6 months from now. Month gives you a quicker sense of scale of how far away something is from you current date.
also, imagine trying to catalog something by day? it would be ridiculous. seeing a 9 first could mean January or June. As a month it ONLY means September end of summer.

Unless you're talking a out something happening I the same Month.
The argument could be applied to literally all 3 methods. It all depends if you're talking about something within the same Month or same year.
Knowing the month first is just as useless as knowing the day first if it happens in a different year.
lasershurt ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 13:42:56 on April 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
He explained it perfectly. You go from largest unit to smallest to dial in specificity, but year is usually a given/implied and therefore skipped.
Our written format follows the colloquial spoken format. You only use the day if it's coming soon, you use Month/Day if it's in the coming year.
Granted I am not saying it's a superior format or anything, just that it's as sensible as any other for the vast majority of usage. If we all want to be exacting in documentation, for example, we might as well switch to Unix Epoch or Star Date.

You're acting as if knowing the month or day first is relevant in every situation. You have cherry picked an example to back that up.
If you're trying to read a date without any external information or situation present, it logically makes sense to have it either Day-Month-Year, or Year-Month-Day.
When I want to know what numbered day of the month something happened, and I see 8-7-2017 I'm going to be left wondering for a long time whether it's July 8th or August 7th - because of people like you thinking that something like the date should be put out of logical order.
edit - Year-Month-Day is just as cool; in fact better for referencing stuff IMO.
GameQb11 ยท -2 points ยท Posted at 13:35:13 on April 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
no it doesnt. the day has 12 potential possibilities. at first glance, the 5th could mean a week away or months away. Giving the month immediately gives you an approximation of how far away an event is and where in the year it will take place or took place. An event happening on the 5th means nothing, and event happening in June already gives 2x as much info.
The reason why year is last is because its the last thing you need to worry about in relation to time (as far as practical day to day living) Either its the same year, or its a year or more away.
TheloniousPhunk ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 14:38:31 on April 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Every argument you use is entirely situational and relies on these hypothetical events happening in this year.
There are an endless number of reasons why someone would be looking for a date in an archive of sorts - in which case without any prior information having the date be done in either D-M-Y or the reverse makes complete sense.
GameQb11 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 14:59:51 on April 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
so if i gave you a bunch of dates in a year, what would you use FIRST to organize them by? Not day because then you could mix up 10 April as being before 12 February. You need to organize by month first. The larger the period of time (years, decades, centuries) the LESS relevant day is.
Starting with day is the least practical way to organize dates.
The only "situation" im using are situations where the order of dates are important, how else would this make sense? You are arguing the ridiculous idea that every relevant date happens within 4 weeks. Thats asinine unless you're in elementary school.
If you're looking through archives, seeing the day first does NOT make the most sense. a day does not give you an accurate time WHEN something has been archived. Ive dealt with archives and MOST folders/files are organized by month, then you look at a month for a DAY, not the other way around. It just doesnt make sense.
sukhi1 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 13:30:37 on April 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Sorry but that's not true. DMY is way more useful than MDY since people are more concerned with what they're doing within the next few days/weeks more than they are the next few months, making DMY more useful for everyday life.
GameQb11 ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 13:46:43 on April 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
no, people are more concerned about what they are doing monthly. Not every appointment, or event happens during the same month. how would you file a bunch of dates by DAY first? wouldnt you NEED to look at the month to make sense of when things are happening? The 9th of April is completely different that the 9th of September. Its makes far more sense to organize by month, then go specifically to day. its just logic
Thysios ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 21:46:55 on April 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
You're both cherry picking situations that back up your argument.. How the he'll would you know if what I'm doing Monthly is more Important.
If something is happening next month, just telling me it's happen In may could mean it's anywhere from 3 to 7 weeks away. Just as useless on its own without knowing the day.
Personally I need to know what's happening the next few days/weeks Infinitely more than a few months. But the doesn't mean everyone does.
If it is something like say a video game coming out in November you might only use the month and not even worry about the day until it's closer. Then when it's closer you'd use the day and not bother with the Month because it's irrelevant once you're in November. The argument goes both ways.
X-istenz ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:31:03 on April 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah, as that one guy said, hugely situational. You're right, if you want to know, say, when the festival is happening, you'd start with the month. Unless, y'know, it was happening this month...
D-M-Y makes more sense if you consider how often you need each piece of information - your day-to-day needs are... oh shit, it's right there in the name! The most important dates you need are the ones fast approaching, so it's actually the month that's implied, in general. It's not like putting the minutes first, because now you're ignoring seconds. Truthfully, Y-M-D probably makes the most sense for record keeping purposes (especially if you're trying to program a database...), and in while we're on the subject that's the order of operations for time, too.

No idea if we're the only ones to do it, but yes, colloquially you could say "fem i halv otte (five to half eight)" to say 19:25. I think this also causes confusion for Danes when in Britain where "half eight" is 20:30, if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, that was good timing, but it was actually the (clearly scripted joke that he wrote and performed dozens of times) that was impressive, not the actual timing in that case. The timing would be fairly easy once observed. Most anyone can duplicate that timing.

I remember watching Comic Relief in the 1980's, Michael Davis was always a highlight of the show. I miss Comic relief. It raised millions for the homeless causes and routinely featured Whoopi Goldberg, Robin Williams and Billy Crystal.

What the hell English are you guys speaking?! Omikron's use of obscure is completely correct here. It might be a little poetic, but as it reads, they are clearly saying that the juggler is referencing poverty in an extremely vague way. Words have different meanings based on their context, and here obscure is obviously a synonym for vague. How do you have 92 upvotes? I feel like I'm on crazy pills.

Because there was nothing vague about it. In fact, the entire joke relies on everybody getting the poverty reference. It is the opposite of vague.

Argh, my bad, I guess. I was writing in a hurry and trying to come up with a nice word for "hard to guess the meaning without knowing the context of what he's saying". And to be fair, looking at the 3rd point of the definition there, it definitely holds. Maybe indirect, or playful, would have been better word choices, but I'm not gonna edit it now! :P

I'm not sure if they do this anymore. Either it is no longer politically correct to say, or people are now conscious of the fact that there are also starving people here in the US.

STORY TIME!
A few years ago I was at a Teatro Zinzanni show in Seattle. I had great seats, right on the main floor, and the performer asked for a show of hands of people who could juggle. I raised my hand and he walked past me and discreetly whispered "Put your hand down. You don't want this." So I did. The guy he picked from the audience proceeded to get all sorts of (funny) shit done to him ending with a pie to the face.
After the show I was standing in the lobby and he appeared. "Aren't you glad I told you to put your hand down?"
"God, yes!" I answered. "Thank you. Hey, you look familiar. Why do you look familiar?"
He shrugged and smiled, and we parted ways.
I was a HUGE Michael Davis fan in the 1980s. I had forgotten his name. It wasn't until I got home that I realized who it was I'd shared that moment with.

In the early 80s, I would watch the Saturday Night Live intro with bated breath in hopes that Michael Davis would be its "Special Guest" for the night -- the guy was amazing! (He and Penn & Teller were often featured during the Eddie Murphy era. Davis, Penn & Teller and Larry the Lobster may have been the only things that saved the 6-year-old show from cancellation.)

Love how he juggles 3 and occasionally does one behind the back during, been trying to perfect that for ages.. you have no idea how quick you have to be until you try it.
Also what he does at the end with the bowling ball, apple and egg is WAY harder than juggling 5 balls. what a true legend

I think there has been a bit of a movement back to more joke-orientated comedy. There were great. Comedians like Bem Elton, Bill Hicks and Dennis Leary who were full of anger and spite, but it kinda started to get old. Certainly in the UK there have been comics like Tim Vine and Peter Kay who do very little in the way of swearing, or do much comedy at the expense of a victim. I'm sort of glad. Guys like Frankie Boyle just seemed to go out of their way to say something shocking, and usually at someone elses expense.

The difference between a "dude who can juggle" and a juggling comedian (or comedian who juggles) is not subtle, it's significant. In fact it's two entirely different talents and skills. It's certainly not just "timing".

This is a perfect example of busking. Every year a huge busker festival was hosted in my city and the best performers were not the ones who mastered incredible feats it was the ones who could work a crowd and make them laugh. All you have to do is master one trick and then draw out the lead up to the trick. The best guy I saw was literally a stand up comedian he had the crowd laughing in hysterics for half an hour leading up to his one trick which was juggling machetes on a unicycle for about one minute.

[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:49:26 on April 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I am a dude that can juggle meaning I have no act. Someone gets word that I can juggle and all the sudden everyone start putting objects in front of me. I can't turn it down because it's usually at parties and everyone eggs me on.
It is so awkward to just stand there and juggle. No talking, no smiling, nothing but juggling. The room is silent, all eyes on you, and you have to somehow make it interesting and less about showing off. (Even though it was not my idea to show anything or did I think I would even be juggling that day)
People get bored of that really quick and I often don't know how to end it so I either keep going for too long or drop something and run away.
Sometimes I get a few claps, but it never really got me any street cred other than when someone is talking about juggling I pop in their head.
The conversation usually goes:
Person A: "We went to the circus last night, Jimmy really loved the juggling clowns he was so mesmorized and couldn't stop talking about it on the way home."
Person B: "Oh that's so cute! Oh you know who can juggle? Srillu can juggle he is so good!"
Party over hears and unanimously: "Really!? You can juggle!? I didn't know that, let's see!!"
That's when they catch me with my leg out the window trying to make my escape. They hand me a baseball, a golf ball, and an apple. I stand there, juggle for 60 seconds, throw a few tricks in, and then stop. A few claps and smiles, some people still look bored, and then I escape to the alcohol table or the front door.

His vocal timing, the deadpan. The man knows how to deliver a joke. Also, the bit where with the apple being thrown onto the stage... he clearly knew to wait for the guy to be about to throw and too late to stop before he said "wait until I tell you..." the audience itself couldn't see, so the bit came off perfectly.

OP's title made me think of that Chris Bliss juggling routine to a Beatles medley. It was great fun and entertaining, largely due to his timing and exaggerated expressions. Then I saw a video of someone else performing the same routine, but with more balls in a more technically-impressive manner, and I was bored half way through because it just wasn't very entertaining.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find good videos of either online, probably due to the Beatles music meaning it gets taken down quickly. The versions I found on YouTube were either terrible video quality (can't even see the balls moving at times) or had the audio removed/replaced.

Wow, 6 minutes of an act that didn't need politics, race, drugs or even foul language to entertain me.

He was making so many jokes I didn't actually expect him to do what he did at the end, but dammit he did it.

I loved it, but I must admit that I was quite disappointed with the egg. Everything he did was simple but delivered in such a blunt and unexpected way...that's why they hit home. The egg was 100% predictable. I would have called this the perfect routine had it ended with the dropped apple.

I think "accidental" bowling ball to the face followed by a pratfall would have worked well.

It could have. I was so occupied expecting him to bite the egg...I knew it was going to happen...that had anything else happened instead I would have been impressed.

That's still just a dude who juggles I wouldn't pay a dollar to see this. You'd have to pay me 100 dollars for me to sit through the whole thing.

An excellent example of how proper wording and punctuation separates a high quality title, and a not as good of one.

I was wondering if he would take one for the team and knock his teeth out with the bowling ball.

Pretty sure this guy now juggles at the highway median near my work for change.

Those jokes are dated like the NES, people have nostalgia for it, but I'll take my xbox
