From A robot performs standup comedy to a lackluster response by Michael Drucker in McSweeney’s
I was made in a factory. The funny setup is that robots make new robots. You, as a human, are probably thinking, “I would love to spend all day making more humans because the sexual experience is pleasurable to my flesh.” However, the point of irony is that robots make new robots—but we do not have sex. We use lasers and molten metal. Am I right?

Caught Seinfeld on Charlie Rose last night. He talked about the science of stand up. I think maybe this robots material is more like humor than stand up. The punchline was kid of weak and really he should start with “have you seen this have you heard.” and close with “wow what a terrific audience” always do that for every joke and you’re standup performance rating will improve quite a bit.
