confused moving people
For me and most of my friends who are comedians, if you've been doing comedy for a while, your tolerance for things actually moves. I find it very hard to be shocked, and when other people aggressively take offense to something, I'm sometimes confused.
doors people want
I want to make a revolving door that says 'Pull' on it, just see how obedient people are.
jesus people example
I like when people wear a WWJD bracelet, because it's like an example of the first thing Jesus wouldn't do, probably.
sports people usual
A sports bar is a way to take a bar and fill it with even more annoying people than usual.
whales people boat
I went whale watching once. It was very similar to watching people on a boat become disappointed.
people television our-time
Our Times, a Brief History: As televisions became flatter, People became rounder.
games people design
I wanna design a video game where you'd have to take care of all the people shot in all the other video games.
people disappointing good-things
But I found that disappointing people is a good thing, because disapproval is freedom.
funny humor people
A lot of people don't like bumper stickers. I don't mind bumper stickers. To me a bumper sticker is a shortcut. It's like a little sign that says 'Hey, let's never hang out.'
two people internet
It feels like every day or two, people on Twitter and the Internet are outraged about something.
years people house
I like stand-up. But I'd also like a family and house and a yard. I want to work with a lot of people, have colleagues; and on good film sets, there's people there that work with the same people for years and years. I love that collaborative spirit in that medium. Comedy is a lot more solitary.
thinking role-models people
It's funny: when people always talk about the importance of role models, I used to think that was so exaggerated, but as I get older, I start to realize I don't feel that way so much anymore. If you see somebody like you who's doing something, an older version of what you are, it does make you feel like it's more possible.
hate thinking people
I do come across people who don't like me, don't like my comedy, don't think it's funny, it's too cutesy, or whatever they hate. And it's like, 'Okay. That's your opinion. Somebody liked it, so that's good.' Hopefully it balances out.
people want tacos
I've met a few people who were passive-aggressive, but I've never met anyone who was aggressive-passive. I don't want tacos! Maybe.
