Despite the lack of an audience (and therefore no laughter), one can feel fairly confident that a joke about roulette will elicit cries: “I put $100 on the black, the little silver ball spins around the wheel and all,” says MacDonald. Then I landed on red. That’s what I said, (expletive) I almost picked it!” Or when he cracked that his dad was progressive because they had a ‘gender-neutral bathroom.’
The group is not perfect. It needed ingenuity. MacDonald loses his chain of thought at times (it’s hard to tell if that’s part of his routine). There are parts that may make some viewers shiver, such as MacDonald’s use of the R-word before setting off on an uncomfortable part about people with Down syndrome.
In light of McDonald’s death, some of his other observations seem strange. He encourages the audience to have a living will and warns viewers, “You have to be prepared for whatever life throws at you, in this world. That’s what I’ve learned, as I get older.” He says about making the most of your life: “You only have so much time. You have to choose.”
