- argc 9y agoHumor, and human language in general, is complicated and its appropriate use is subjective.
- Gracana 9y agoIf you don't understand it, maybe it just misreads unprofessionally.
- reconbot 9y agoIt's weird and a little tone deaf but a common older brand of humor. The speakers (in general, I only skimmed a few of the videos) don't seem to share it.
- tinco 9y agoThis is a college, the audience is teenagers and the lecturers are academics. They don't experience any need for professionalism and I don't think they should.
- coldtea 9y ago> explain It's a thing called humor. Many humans, even older ones with an actual profession seem to relish it. This even includes some great academic minds like Einstein and Feynman, whose accomplishments could dwarf those of most other humans who dislike this humor thing. It has been observed by prominent humanologists however that in certain grey corporate circles (especially in protestant-derived cultures) it is frowned upon -- much alike in our own professional culture here on Vulcan.
