Powerpoint Comedy

[StephanieWest1]

Saw your show in Carlsbad last night. Live and in-person with your introductory team was a blast. Thanks for the laughter and memories.

[wuzpfrank]

Love it!

[physmer]

they are all funny, but this one is an absolute favorite!~

[cofredpip1001]

haha river scum

[BlooDragon009]

That glassblower bit was absolutely hilarious.

[Darkhell1414]

he was wrong not everyone end up in rehad the river scum didnt

[khosro7]

hi we love ur video's

also posted to brussels university and everyone loved it

ur fans from belgium

[txlee1]

@khosro7 Glad to hear it!

[ultra505]

Lul River Scum! IS THE SAME xDDD

[tigesarepeopletoo]

Great video Powerpoint Comedy - YouTube. I saw a video like this on gigstarz.com. Was that you?

[MetaLeir93]

"Which of course leads you back to river scum!"

Classic! Lovely comedy you're performing there

[superwhuffo1]

I posted this one on my blog. It named after one of my nicknames...Wildman Walker's blog.

[Mr589742316]

did u hear the girl in the background saying "river scum" at about 2.04 lololol

[littleadverturers]

I wish all doctorates had the ability to make powerpoint as entertaining as you!

[downhill240]

Very good material, well presented. I note you give the audience time to laugh and maybe their talking amongst themselves and laughing more. Let them laugh. It cuts down the need for too much material! Timing is everything. ll the greats had/have it. Bob Hope, Jack Benny George Burns to name a few.

[CasualGarbage]

I was born river scum

[thehaloassassin1]

xD

[HiJaayD]

amazing!

[MoviManATL]

Hey Tim! Love your videos...as a fellow intellectual, I can absolutely appreciate the science/Powerpoint aspect.  But it's really your timing (as with all comedy) that makes it work. Any chance you'll be in Atlanta at some point? I'd definitely come see your show.

[txlee1]

@MoviManATL Thanks. I'm planning on coming back to Atlanta in January. I have to get the dates nailed down yet.

[DantehMan]

@MoviManATL Anyone who calls themselves an intellectual is not an intellectual.

[MoviManATL]

@DantehMan I see. This debate isn't worth having anyhow, because it's on YouTube. I hope you're happy with yourself.

[DantehMan]

@MoviManATL Overall I am happy with myself, although there are areas in which I feel I can improve and I will strive to do so. Also, I'd argue that the location of a discussion has no effect on its value. Whether face to face or in the comments section of a video uploading website, the most important conversation in the world will still be the most important conversation in the world. Still, I understand why you wouldn't want to have words about it and I hope you're happy with yourself too :)

[snavemailliw]

@MoviManATL shut the fuck up

[NayimKay]

So if you're a child star there is a 72% chance you will eventually become river scum.

[flasharoo]

Rofl that's hilarious!!!!!!

[lonestarduffer]

Tim, do you have a dvd available ? If so, I will certainly buy it. Like so many have already said, clean, intelligent comedy is a rare find, but you deliver and do it well sir. Please keep doing this; I believe you have a gift. :) Do you ever make it out to Texas or Florida (Orlando area) ? Would love to see you LIVE man!

[txlee1]

@lonestarduffer Thank You! I have a DVD available on my website: YouTubeComedian. I haven't made it to Texas or Florida yet but it's on my to do list.

[Sarge714]

The Earth, no Milky Way Galaxy needs intellegent comedy like this. I'm so tired of the current Low IQ comedy (aka River Scum). :-)

You're going to go far given a chance.

[sowrdandarrow]

I LOLed at the end nice

[WikiNixa]

Wow youre good. I hope to see you more popular in the future.

[OMGNero]

Um the beginning and middle were boring but the end was funny.

[adisharr]

You can spot the idiots by the laughing at 'weak molecular bonding' HAHAHAHAHA STFU rednecks.

[Wolfdragoness]

lol actually this isnt even half bad. youre pretty funny

[vendo233]

I hope he keeps doing this - It's very refreshing to see clean intelligent humor in a world teeming with river scum ;)

[txlee1]

@vendo233  Thanks! I'm not going anywhere : )

[SinnFein4ever]

He's kind of cute with his hair like that.

I like guys with curly hair.

[volleytigger]

From a fellow scientist, hilarious... clean... well done.  Keep it up!

[txlee1]

@volleytigger Thanks!  I appreciate the support : )

[ChristopherClever]

Favorited! You are one funny guy. :)

[davidsaso1234]

i hate the laughing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[moreoreos123]

Glad to see you've gained popularity. I first viewed a few of your videos months ago and i decided to check for new upoads today and you have a lot more views than before.

[DrLinda29]

Intelligent, clean comedy! It's about time!

[txlee1]

@DrLinda29 thanks for the support, Linda !

[Tomahawk1505]

wow, I rarely laugh out loud at stand up. But I laughed my ass off when river scum showed up again!

[designermite]

In the US powerpoint presentations re the only form of torture still legal. This guy has fun with powerpoint. presentations.

[macbeasty]

I love his intro...lets start off on a popular comedy subject - molecular bonding.

[txlee1]

@macbeasty Thanks for the support !

[MyrhicalOne]

Hahaha he's realy funny :D

[ladytly]

i knew it would end back at river scum lol

[JosephSolomonUS]

There are over 240 dislikes on this video from river scum.

[LeBronForTheWin]

is it just me or is the audience laughing everytime Tim opens his mouth? he's that good!

[JudiG]

Oh this is just FUNNY.

[ritsfata]

Hey man, what do you have against people who blow glass..... oh god let's keep on topic here...................

[dadapopa]

hahahaah

[Pythomyst]

LMAO Aghh man I laughed so hard! Keep up the good work buddy!!

[AnarchalPatriarch]

It really bothers me that the audience laughs at weak and strong bonds when you're just stating facts.

[Spindrift]

@AnarchalPatriarch They laugh because it's not something you expect to see at a stand-up show.

[LynxChan]

Hmmm this looks like a lot more fun than waiting for the post-doc grants to be published in the next geologic age or so.

[webmusicians]

Good video

[couchspud95]

You are brilliant

[TheFlyGuy009]

i actually understand what you are saying through the comedy, man, I wish my math teacher could make math much relatable to life itself so we could actually see how we would use it in life keep up the great work man!

[jfactor05]

Hilarious stuff, do you have any tour dates, or DVDs?

[SMAOKA]

Do you have a dvd out that I can buy? Actually I would get 2 if you do, one for my cousin who is also a PhD., he would love this stuff!

[txlee1]

@SMAOKA Yes! You can get them at my website which is YouTubeComdedian. :)

[SMAOKA]

@txlee1 Awesome, I will check that out! Thanks!

[redghost105]

@txlee1 what did you major in before comedy?

[txlee1]

@redghost105  I graduated from UC San Diego with a degree in biology.

[redghost105]

@txlee1 O wow congratulations =)

what were you wanting to be to before you decided comedy?

[redghost105]

@txlee1 PS. you should come to jacksonville, florida

[hede112358]

smart person, funny & cool jokes, an unusual style. and not a jerk for a single second. that's a lot. way to go.

[SASQUATCH109]

Is there any chance of a show in Pennsylvania?

[txlee1]

@SASQUATCH109 There's always a chance. Do you know any good venues?

[SASQUATCH109]

@txlee1 There's always some sort of show going on in the Chameleon club in Lancaster, PA. So maybe there.

[txlee1]

@SASQUATCH109  thanks for the tip, Tyler. I'll check it out : )

[kvon92]

When you get a chance please hit the youtube search box and check out our new hit "Live for the Night- by Slim and Domo" please leave comments and tell us how you feel about our music "YOUR OPINION COUNTS" !!!

[mattman154]

Why do people laugh when you explain the first two bonds?

[thecarrotdude]

Ya, some parts were funny so keep it up. But it seemed like your audience was on pot or something, they were laughing at everything.

[sumdrummerdrumming]

You are hilarious your style of comedy is unique yet awesome

please tour near BC CANADA i would LOVE to see one of your shows

[MsCosmo237]

ok yeah the guy's funny but why does the crowd have to burst into hysterics every 2 seconds? Everytime I'm about to laugh some woman/man goes BAHAHAHA

[Kerventer]

Yay lets all clap!

[tregear26666]

Would you allow under 18's if you toured the UK?

[txlee1]

@tregear26666 Sure, if it were up to me I would.

[kite0impulse]

"We have the weak bonds" *laughter*.

Easiest crowd, EVER.

Not that his actual jokes aren't terrific.

[m1o2]

This is funny!! thank u!

[McColanis]

Why does everyone keep laughing? :s

[Chibicho]

Justin Beiber's life biography starts at 2:23

[DOVUSOPERIOR]

Molecular bonds are awesome but what about gravity or the sun being the center of the stellar system?They are both theories(or have no explanation:gravity) that haven't being proven as well as human relationships .Think you can work around this?

[DOVUSOPERIOR]

@DOVUSOPERIOR oooops i meant solar system :P

[kigger622]

could you do a show in berkeley?

[jeloopa]

Please tell me you're going to tour the UK! I love the act and will be looking forward to more :D

[txlee1]

@jeloopa Thanks. I have a lot of request for that. Going to have to look into it...

[mclarenf45]

@jeloopa u ppl tend to have a laconic sense of humor like the fat liberal audience in this video..

[lostprophets123]

hey man i've been watching some of your powerpoint comedies. it's all really great stuff, and personally i'm not too tied in with the science stuff as i'm inclining towards the subject of History, but the layman explanation was brilliant, with my very very little science background. the only thing though is that maybe you might wanna think up of more stories, as to why you went from being a PhD to becoming a comedian that kills with jokes so yeah. Jokes are great though, keep it up!

[R4ggy]

Which of course leads straight back to Riverscum... Brilliant.

[mijamz]

this is very funny. In all of my science classes through college I used to apply the rules and other aspects to other scenarios just like this. But hats off to you for actually doing it in front of people. lol.

[Osmostrix]

Makes sense to me!

[omarofuae]

Sir, I did not understand the last joke, was it in reference to something that happened/in the news? or am I missing something?

[Osmostrix]

@omarofuae Arnold Shwarzeneggar is a governor in California.

[MoviManATL]

@omarofuae I would say it's more than just Schwarzenegger; you had Jesse Ventura, Ronald Reagan, etc., who were in showbiz prior to politics.

[MrDarwinrules]

Generally it takes an intelligent person to make another person laugh. People who down your comedy simply cannot grasp it.

[yngvaibucketrucci]

at first I was all liek dis is gon be lame and not funny at all

but then I was all liek lulz river scum

[JohnTraviss]

I think it would be better if you could mention the soap first, then the hair.

[Burnz2much]

Didn't have the heart to thumbs you down, but i'm leaving. :)

[MasterMike44]

dont want to offend but its kinda weak, but hell u got the audience laughing so dont worry!

[lilblkboi]

River Scum, and the 14 Megaton Nuclear Bomb made me LOL pretty hard.

[dudeitsivan]

This video was uploaded on February 16th, but you advertised a January 29th show in San Diego... I wish you had uploaded this in time for that show, as I'm from San Diego and would've liked to see you live!

[txlee1]

@dudeitsivan sorry I missed ya. I tend to do a lot of shows in California. You can check out my tour schedule on my website: youtubecomedian.

[tuzmor]

I LOVE IT!!

[a10fjet]

Hey buddy, I'd say you have a fan base

[aswertiobn]

This is pretty funny but I mean what the hell? why does the crowd laugh when he explains water has a weak bond.... it's not that funny

[MultiNerve]

@aswertiobn Trying to get as much enjoyment possible out of Chemistry D:

[meatstack]

That's one of your best I've seen.

[mykylc]

Something nice and original!!!!

[Stumperx]

Excellent!!

[lan600000]

Your powerpoint reminded me of bieber

[txlee1]

@lan600000 You have Bieber fever? :)

[sonic503789]

@txlee1 derp

[lan600000]

@txlee1 ya... I think it's the water from the river :(

[sn1pe352]

@txlee1 hey if you get some time can we talk about physics? I absolutely love your style and am a caltech gradate at age 25(but have also dropped out to become a glass blower) ahahah ur awesome man

[Josh100p]

@lan600000 I hope you come to Dayton, OH some time soon.

[TheGreenPlague]

On a scale of 1 to 10...that was a 11.

[BeverlyHillsCopAxelF]

Ironicly since I'm learning about molecular bonds at school I almost thought the Supercovalent Bond was real.

[solnegrolunaroja]

By the time I'm seeing your video, there are 727.719 hits to your video and 231 dislikes, which means 0.38 % of the viewers is composed by river scum.

[mosquewatcher]

Love your vids :)

[ToroPetrucci2010]

HAHA Dude! yo did it again! River scum...hahaha

[javajunkie101]

This is hysterical. I loved this. After grading papers all day, this was so refreshingly funny.

[actressandwriter]

you should come to my community college. :)

[yuri1ishtar]

his comedy style reminds me of demetri martin but more awesome.

[The3rdPlateau]

sooo...i'm guessing you (txlee) are tim lee?

[txlee1]

@The3rdPlateau Yep

[spidarz]

I love how dumb founded the crowd is lol, MOLECULAR BOND RARARARARARHAHAHAROFLOMGLMAOLO­LWTFHAHAWOWOMGJESUS

[hermeezeY]

I think the power point slides really help. Most stand up comics have a hard time forming visual images into peoples imaginations, but the power point lets them see the humor for themselves. Great show. I'm hooked on this material dude =)

[mikeybud]

hahahaaa brilliant!! original and hilarious!! id love to see you change it up in the introduction though. instead of 'glassblower' other random jobs :) otherwise awesome!! :)

[Shaun17170]

this good humour and I do think the audience knows that it is funny from their own life experinces and personal point of view and status in life educationally. Don't ever underestimate the audience. I have been watching some of these videos and witnessed some genuine laughter and enjoyment. To say that they don't know what they're laughing at or laughing for the sake of laughing is totally false.

[txlee1]

@Shaun17170  Thanks for the support Shaun!

[jaspr1999]

@Shaun17170 I've seen comedians up against a tough crowd and an easy crowd, but there isn't much difference between the two if the comedian stinks. Txlee's material is fresh and funny and because he explains it well everyone gets it... And those that don't get the enjoyment of getting it explained to them later for a delayed reaction.

Although, I would still like to see Larry the Cable Guy put in charge of Los Alamos:-) Comedian turns scientist!

[Magicianxox]

your jokes are quite funny, but the same introduction for every powerpoint comedy is getting old :(

[Shaun17170]

LOL River Scum you bastards

[ludacrisboii]

Haha you got some talent man, your got good material and deliver it well... And even if the audience doesnt like it they can go home thinking "hey at least i learned something about molecular bonds etc etc" lol

[txlee1]

@ludacrisboii  Thanks! I like the way you think : )

[SANTARII]

I thought "Child star" was referring to the early stages of a star (as in the sun).

[SANTARII]

@SANTARII I thought the same for "Super star".

I got confused at "Porn star."

[ZHX1138]

River Scum. Love the diagrams.

[mishdogg]

hahahahaha

[kelevra216]

Most intellectual comedian audience I've ever heard.

"Molecular Bonding"...

"HAHAHAHAHAHA"

[nopseudosleft56]

lolllll!!! LOVE this guy! The shows are so different to other comedians. I felt like this watching lecturers at uni, you just wanted to turn their powerpoints into something like this! I'm watching a third video and if I like it as much as the first two I'm subbing!

[Triggahappi273]

Justin Bieber aware of this?

[evavanjava]

well well well

[fightliferockin]

After watching a few of your videos, I've come to a single conclusion....

Get a new roommate.

[txlee1]

@fightliferockin done.

[fightliferockin]

@txlee1

Glad to hear it.

Next thing:

Use that ph.d. so you don't have to NEED a roomate. haha

But still keep being awesome at comedy. I mean... glass blowing.

[Yamakashi1]

@txlee1 awww come on... he was ur true inspiration.

Tim does a great job of showing us how PowerPoint is really to be used -- to enhance the words that you are saying! Don't use lots of words, instead do what Tim does -- use pictures!
