The whole bit is genius but Gary’s set up using the omelette station story in between abbreviating Alabama and Alaska is fantastic. The “everyone cool with AL?” joke doesn’t happen if it comes right after Alabama. The story interruption creates the buffer where that joke can happen and the audience gets the humor instantly.

He gets what are honestly a couple of charity giggles, but his mild early meandering is all intentional. It's part of the journey he's taking the audience on from mildly amused to completely bought in and laughing. I couldn't be more impressed.

@@commentor93 A "CONtractor" is someone that you hire to complete a specific task (i.e. you give them a contract to do something specific). A "conTRACTed word" is a word that's made by combining two other words (i.e. do not = don't, would not = won't). In this case, it's a play on words because they hire a guy (which would make him a CONtractor) who's job is to make up contracted words (making him a "conTRACTer", which is not a real occupation obviously).

I just listened to him on the Oct 29 episode of the Hilarious World of Depression podcast. He performed Abbreviations at a low point of his recent bout with depression, a disease he has had since a teen. He was candid and impressive. He moved back to MA a few months ago because he wasn't up to renewing a lease in Manhattan. His meds worked for about seven years and they stopped so he is on a new regimen. Someone commented on his math affinity. He majored in accounting in college. Listen to this podcast if you want to understand the long-term fight with depression. I wanted to reach through the earbuds and give him a big hug.
