A million thumbs down for the author stealing Louie CK's stand-up routine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpUNA2nutbk) and reapplying it to Javascript in a way that just didn't fit. Also nothing substantial was said. Boo!

Note the line at the bottom of the piece:

Not... really a good enough attibution... I'm supposed to go watch that link at the bottom of the article and then cross reference it with the funny things said in the article? I was expecting the very first link in the heading to point to that routine and for it to be 'the joke'.

If you don't know the routine, it won't be funny anyway.

It's an easy way of excluding people under 40. Like when we talk about being afraid to visit Northern Ireland or getting nuked.

I didn't see the attribution. But everything I said still stands. The whole thing just didn't work.
