I watch all the content of his that I can find. It's gold.
Me too, I have watched a lot of his videos and talks from TED. He describes real life scenarios, but with a wonderfully humorous twist.
That first one was hilarious! Will watch the others later when I have more time. Thanks for the laughs!.... *still chuckling*...
Seen them all but enjoyed watching them again.
He’s one of my faves.
Gotta share this! Really happened... LOL
Had just finished watching that first video this afternoon and made my reply on here. I was then getting ready to walk out the door to run some errands when my phone rang. The following conversation ensued....
Me: Hello.
Caller: Yes, I am a technician with Computer Services, and I am calling about your personal computer that has been infected.
Me: *worried tone* My computer is infected? Really? Oh, wow, that sounds bad.
Caller: Yes, sir, it is. Are you the owner and primary user?
Me: Well, many people use the computer here. Hey, since my computer is infected, should I wear gloves now when typing on it? I don't want to get infected.
Caller: Sir, I am afraid you do not understand. Is the owner and primary user available?
Me: No, I'm the only one here right now. I'm a little worried, though. How did it get infected? And do you think I should start wearing a filter mask along with the gloves? I really don't want to get infected.
Caller: Sir, listen to me. Are you at your computer right now? Your computer got infected when certain sites were visited and people started hacking.
Me: Oooooh... Okay. Well that makes sense now. Because the other night my stepson was using the computer, and I heard him coughing and hacking. Should I get him to start wearing a mask and gloves when he uses the computer?
Caller: Sir, that is correct. Your computer got infected by people hacking it. Now, I just need you to-
Me: *interrupting* Oh, in that case, I am definitely gonna make him start wearing a mask when on the computer. I don't want him hacking all over it and getting it infected. Do I need to worry about the infection being contagious, though?
Caller: *noticeably frustrated* Sir, please listen to me. Can you log on to your computer right now? I would like to help clear the infection for you.
Me: Well, gee, I'm afraid you caught me at an awkward moment. I'm sitting on the toilet right now having a major movement. Ummm.... Not really sure how long it will last. Usually takes awhile.
Caller: Oh-my-goodness... So, what if I call you back at a better time? Would two hours from now be okay?
Me: *sounding embarrassed* Well, you can try, but I may still be here on the toilet.
Caller: Oh, then how about three hours from now?
Me: I don't know. Maybe...
Calller: Sir, I think we are done here. Have a good day. *click*.... *dial tone*....
I love fucking with phone scammers! lol
ROFLMAO!!!....Oh, holy shit! This is too good to be true! That stupid phone scammer actually called me again just a few minutes ago! I had him so frustrated he was cussing me out before he finally hung up. He was calling me a "motherfucker" and telling me to stick my computer up my ass. And when I started laughing and criticizing him on his lack of cursing skills (he really was an amateur in that area), that made him even worse! I am still laughing about it! LOL.... Holy hell, I really wish I could have recorded that whole conversation.
You know I really used to love doing that also. Then like a dummy I put my phone numbers on the "donotcall.gov" website. Now I never get calls from any scammers. Then again, it had gotten so bad that I was getting 10 to 30 calls a day. Just too much.

@Arakish Re: Phone scammer
Oh, man! One of the best parts is when he finally figured out I was jerking his chain. He actually acted all offended and accused ME of wasting HIS time! Priceless! Naturally, that caused me to bust out laughing loudly, and I told him, "Wow, you catch on quick." (Keep in mind, I had him on the phone for fifteen to twenty minutes by then.) And THAT is when he called me a motherfucker.... And THAT is when I started laughing even harder.... Causing him to cuss me out more. (He wasn't even good at it.) I told him he needed to take cussing and insult lessons. For some odd reason, that seemed to make him even more upset. Guessing my continuous laughing didn't help. He finally told me, "Have fun, fucker ass, shoving your keyboard in your asshole!" Then, with a final, "You are total fucker you fucker asshole," he hung up. Which I thought was rather rude, because he didn't even give me a chance to say goodbye.
