Comedian Don McMillan Makes Everyone Laugh Except Simon...

[@TalentRecap]

Check out AGT's freakiest act here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKvJnZ1pf5h1oZo

What

[@jcs3349]

Simon can't take any more comedians? I can't take any more singing acts with sob stories... This is turning into American idol. Bring on more variety acts and comedians!

[@ryanmorgan9589]

The thing is music comes from dark places and good places. That's what makes a good singer and the song writing. Eminem is one of the greatest rappers and alot of his music are what you call sob stories. Just the way music is. You have to connect to it.

[@inoodlesi4459]

@@ryanmorgan9589 Its America's Got Talent not America's Got Singers...Just go to The Voice?

[@lambooo]

Totally agree …

[@crunchycereal94]

wait until you find out what music is

[@Average_Drone]

For real. Like it’s really unfortunate what these people go through, but what does a death in the family have anything to do with you singing a popular pop song.

[@wingerwc]

I've seen Don McMillan's comedy (not in person, but on youtube) and that man managed to shorten down a 24 minute comedy show into 3 minutes. That is amazing.

[@cisium1184]

Most comic struggles to get a tight five. This guy figured out how to do a tight three.

[@wingerwc]

@@cisium1184 I know right? Truly a talented engineer/comedian.

[@Milesco]

​@@wingerwc He's a talented engineedian. 😄

[@wingerwc]

@@Milesco Agreed, and holy shit thats a lot of likes

[@Hellbot]

Because he's an engineer too.

[@PastaFazool4266]

Simon has no clue that Don McMillan was already a legend in America before anyone knew who Simon was.

[@zz449944]

Yup. Don McMillan has an impressive resume as an electronics engineer for over 20 years. The stuff he has done has impacted BILLIONS of computer users and continue to be relevant. His film and TV credits is a short, but significant list. Contrast that with Simon Cowell who has a long list of television credits, but nothing really noteworthy or memorable. At least not anything that I have ever cared about. And, he seems to have the personality of an earthworm. Simon had made up his mind about Don McMillan as soon as he stated that he is a stand-up comedian for a living and introduced his screen.

[@undeniabletruth-HIT]

@@zz449944 simon has to be antisocial

[@mrhaltonok]

@@zz449944I’m no Cowell fan - he’s ok- but I think it’s fair to say he’s had a 30 year career in music which had probably added hundreds of millions to the economy?

[@TehButterflyEffect]

​@@mrhaltonokThat's... Not how economics works.

[@UncleJoeHikes]

​@@mrhaltonok I just don't have any respect for self-pompous arrogance he and Gordon Ramsey seem to relish in. Are they hugely successful? Sure but being decent people would garner more respect from me.

[@KennDewh]

Been watching Don for years. Good, clean comedy. The rest of the crowd agrees. Maybe that makes Simon the dork of this show.

[@hansludwig4732]

Maybe? 😂

[@McSenkel]

Good one.

[@kyallon1213]

Read the chart sir, he’s definitely more of a stalker

[@ronaldkonkoma4356]

Yeah, that was totally Gladiator vs Joaquin Phoenix Maybe Simon needed to see how Don's wife shops at the mall

[@SashaKolbun-u6s]

Yeah

[@Loukious]

I love that Howie gets his sense of humor. Like he may not get ALL of it. But he gets enough as a fellow comedian that he knows it's a good act.

[@SubJStan]

Howie used a lot of props when he started out so I think they’re pretty much kindred spirits even if the tone of the jokes was different.

[@sabinrawr]

Howie is also the type of person who understands and appreciates acts that are different from his own preferences and tastes. Even if Howie hadn't liked the act, I think he would have understood why people do like it, and probably would've said "yes" anyway.

[@ronaldkonkoma4356]

Howie had such a good act i saw it in 1994 and 2001

[@Steppenkater]

It's interesting how 99% of the crowd got it but Simon didn't.

[@Grace-ms7un]

Simon needs a real job 😂

[@System.Error.]

Simon is pretending he doesn’t understand, don’t you know this entire show is just a plot

[@kmbbmj5857]

Because 99% of the crowd actually lives it. Who hasn't experienced burnt popcorn smell? Same reason Dilbert was so funny -- it was all too real.

[@cisium1184]

It seems like he started to. A big problem for comics is too much talk or dead space between laughs. But Don is tight, and I think Simon at least understood that much.

[@UncleJoeHikes]

@@System.Error. That's even worse. Why would you want people to think you're a jerk?

[@m4rt_]

Simon needs to realize that it's "America's Got Talent" not "America's Got Music"

[@AlexInDaMix]

Another thing he likes is magic

[@ThatCoalSoul]

Well said.

[@ProgressIsTheOnlyEvolution]

Yeah or "AMerica's Got Talent" not "Talent's got Simon's approval"

[@AndrewPinkFloyd]

It's also not "Simon Thinks I've Got Talent"

[@mz2728]

I mean you could see him smiling but working really hard to not laugh and uphold his "I don't find comedians funny" persona

[@NANA-bt6ws]

I don't think Simons IQ is high enough to understand the jokes

[@MegaLokopo]

He clearly never made microwave popcorn.

[@wintersoldier0]

He clearly cant relate to any of this

[@TheFrantastic]

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Don McMillan. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head.

[@Mister_BIack]

@@TheFrantastic That statement sounds familiar. And I hate that I get it.

[@sundareshvenugopal6575]

Spot on.

[@antonnym214]

Don is fantastic! You HAVE to see his logic diagram of who is right in the marriage. That popcorn thing! TOO TRUE! OMG!

[@Pelandel]

This guy is really out the charts... He is really cool im watching his reels on ig and they are the Best... Unique and really funny

[@LiLsCo0tZ]

Simon might not have laughed, but you could see the jokes were having an impression on him

[@mutantraze3681]

He tried is HARDEST not to laugh. Like bro you’re there to judge, not a try not to laugh challenge

[@thehuman-ee2cy]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@bob1505]

Do you remember another time Cowell didn't laugh? When Al Unser and Mario Andretti were razing him about his driving. Now that was funny! Simon, did you have the breaks on? It looked like you were going backwards!

[@SimpleGunner]

everyone BUT simon is having a fun time. proving that he has NO idea of what what hes looking at.

[@colbyallman]

Differing from a majority does not make you wrong

[@SimpleGunner]

@@colbyallman but it does prove when one cant see the talent right in front of them.

​@@colbyallman True...but not in this case! 😁

[@ImaITman]

I love how the crowd boos Simon, as they should.

[@gokhanersumer2273]

How did you not get it Simon ? He didnt even use Heisenberg uncertainty principle joke!

[@RDG81919]

I mean, I think the comedian seems like a wonderful guy, but I didn't get it either.

[@wallacegrommet5817]

Simon hasn’t done anything for himself his whole life. Of course he doesn’t get the popcorn joke.

[@LonelyTropicalFish]

He obviously has never made microwave popcorn.

[@frkzoid]

I've seen this so many times and it's still funny every time I watch it

[@bdr420i]

Simon is just playing a character but inside he was laughing as hell 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ScarriorIII]

They probably decide before who is gonna be the negative.

[@oxxnarrdflame8865]

That’s because Don’s humor went right over his head. Simon should have applied himself more in school 😅

[@richatlarge462]

Simon's eyes glazed over at the mere mention of a Venn diagram lol. From there it was all downhill in getting the jokes.

[@gregquinn642]

@@richatlarge462 Simon is every business degree manager attending every engineer's presentation that has a level of complexity above tinker toys.

[@gostreiver8036]

You don’t need all the votes. But the fact the entire crowd stood up in defense of this man and his act should be something he remembers all his life. Don is a treasure

[@fatalcalamityz1365]

Honestly, Simon complaining about too many comedians auditioning this year is low-key a mood. XD Like, if there is ever a season of AGT where a stand-up comedian finally takes the crown, it might as well be 17 with how many have been accepted!

[@TheHilariousGoldenChariot]

If they put Dave Chappell or another comedian superstar on the panel that would probably be different.

[@Sleeper____1472]

I randomly came across McMillans channel one day and I was like "Is this the nerd/dork/stalker chart guy??"

[@mohamamdyahyaasadahmad3165]

Guy's kind of a legend and pretty class. Even with such overwhelming support he only said "Next time, Simon". Didn't act petty, showed grace, civility and class.

[@WoFDarkNewton]

This isn't even his best stuff. He's been killing it in yt shorts

[@Mama-Ames]

The ONE time Simon was wrong. Of ALL the acts that DESERVED Simon's "No," he was wrong to choose the DELIGHTFULLY HILARIOUS Don McMillan!!!🤣😆😂

[@hithesh.n2978]

Simon is like that pop corn that never popped.

[@tushal2805]

He should do some graphs, vein diagram or some sort of stats PPT on what makes Simon happy and should include dogs that would definitely get yes out of Simon. I really like the act it was different and not seen before

[@georgelionon9050]

Guys, Simon plays the mean guy.. and he had a hard time to swallow down his smirking..

[@Bosnian.Spartan]

He should play a judge, meaning be impartial, he knows it's subjective but you can still understand it's good but can't discourage him because of personal pettiness... But anyways Simon is playing the mean one?? Was Howard the mean one before? Was that why he was a kunt before or that's just normally him??

[@georgelionon9050]

@@Bosnian.Spartan There is always a mean one in the panel, because thats the concept of the show. Piers Morgan was obviously the mean one in the first seasons (you should watch the british version from back then too, suddendly he wasnt mean there..) Honestly I didnt watch S7-10 so much to say if Howard was the mean one then too, but it would make sense, and 11+ Simon was obviously cast for that role.

I could understand SK never having put popcorn in a microwave, but surely he’s a gym guy too and the men arriving at the locker room all together like that made it even funnier

[@raygunsforronnie847]

The only reason Simon isn't laughing - he was calculating how big Don's potential audience could be and how much money he'd make from managing him. Once he saw good numbers, Don got funnier.

[@gabriellefarrell9497]

This is so typical of Hollywood. The celebrity judges have no grasp of reality because they live in their own little worlds and they can't relate to the comedy of life that this guy gave. Everyone in the audience, that is to say every normal person, was in stitches. Anyone with ears could hear them laughing hysterically because they finally saw someone on stage who was normal and understood life, but more importantly, found another way for us to laugh about it.

[@panda4247]

Both Simon AND Don know that this is not an act the production company could milk (i.e. sign some big ass contract like with a singer etc). Both know that regardless of Don winning or losing the "competition", he will get the exposure which will result in more gigs for Don. And ultimately, that's why he's there. He made people laugh, people will remember him, maybe he'll get some gigs from this. Good for him. Probably better than to win and become some corporation's "property".
