"Occupy Wall Street"-Joke and the YouTube Presentation of It

On YouTube today, I caught the video of an amateur stand-up comedian attempting an 'Occupy'-joke. I think the comment I wanted to make on the video shows my 'critique' of the joke:

'Poor delivery---good thought, as Occupy Baghdad would be as pointless as all the other Occupy's ('I don't like that you have more money than me, so I'm gonna be as annoying as possible with no real goal in sight?' yeah); but stand-up routines are about "comedy" (the 'work' of distracting yourself & others from seriousness by highlighting its absurdity), and Occupy humor is more "funny article"-material.'

The comedian's delivery ('comedian' because he was standing with a microphone in a spotlight in front of a brick-wall, not necessarily because he was making anyone laugh) was pretty-much, "Yeah, so me and a friend heard about this Occupy thing? Our goal was 'peace in the Middle East,' so WE started Occupy Baghdad ... we're takin` over the WHOLE place ... yeah ..."

Would be a good joke ... if told by a kid in his mom's basement wearing PJ's, but not stand-up in a nightclub full of people who--aside from the usual dislike-of-work--LIKE their jobs and salaries (else how could they afford to go to the nigtclub?). Although the YouTuber posting this MIGHT HAVE left out his routine's-setup and -finish, which MIGHT HAVE set us up to enjoy some nerdy thoughts and MIGHT HAVE brought us back down out of the comedian's intellectual high.

That's also what I don't like about Bible-'clips': little scenes from Scripture that are presented as telling the whole story (i.e. taking a specific statement Jesus Christ made to a certain disciple, and preaching it like an Eleventh Commandment to all God's children). The Bible is JUST ONE STATEMENT---one long, complex statement that you've got to read all the way through to get all its specifics.

That's how a good comedy-routine works!
