When I was growing up, I was as socially outcast as any nerd could possibly be. I was in the chess club, I brought D&D stuff to school, I had every game system you could imagine, I spent countless hours at arcades, computer camp, loud presence in the Latin Club. All that stuff.
The lifeblood of YouTube is sharing.
The 'Hipster Nerds' like stuff because they hate it. It's like they ironically like it.
I had a personal blog, but why does anyone care that I went shopping for hats?
I feel like so much of why I sort of want to work in television is so that people know to come see me live.
I don't really read reviews and comments that much. There just isn't a lot to be gained from it.
I am a freelancer. My services are available to anyone at any time.
Don't tell television, but there is some superior programming being made on the Interwebz.
Bowling really was a big American sport in the '50s, '60s, and '70s, and then it kind of died off in the '80s.
The nerds provide the toys that distract the morons. So the nerds are sort of the new drug-dealers. We're the drug dealers of the 21st century because we provide all the brain candy for the mouth-breathers, for lack of a better word.
Any time you're lucky enough to get on a show people watch, it's a good thing.
Any nerd who grew up around the time that I did, BBC programming was a treasure chest for us.
A big company is like trying to steer a luxury liner.
Both my parents recognized early on that I wanted to do something in comedy, and they were really supportive. They're the ones who bought me Steve Martin records and let me watch R-rated comedies long before they probably should have.
