- Good evening, welcome to Set List's
Stand-Up Without a Net Live, at NerdMelt, yes!
Comedians are coming up here without knowing a single thing.
They are gonna weave an entire stand-up set
in front of your very eyes out of these crazy, bizarre ideas
that we're gonna throw at them.
- I don't try to predict anything.
Whatever pops up, it'd give me something.
It'll be some kind of inspiration.
- Will you welcome the never-before-seen
set list of Mr. Rory Scovel!
(audience cheers)
- Thank you, thank you.
Thank you Set List.
Thank you for having me.
Who are we, you know?
Has anyone asked that question yet?
What do we truly know, you know what I mean?
Has anyone covered that?
(awkward laughing)
Who is in here, not so much in here, 'kay?
Good start.
Here we go.
It's good to be here, such a warm atmosphere.
Something I was worried about, before I got in the door.
Then I looked around, said these are good-looking people,
they look like they're smart.
How long has it taken me to get the thing off of this?
(laughing)
Good, couple people laughed at that.
I want those people thrown out.
That was a horrible joke.
You people who didn't laugh, you, no laughing?
You passed.
That's who I want as a crowd.
Anybody who laughed at this?
This is nothing!
There's nothing there!
If you're laughing, go, get out of here!
You don't need this!
You already get it!
You know what I mean?
This is not for you.
Honey, I was at the show.
Ask me what happened.
What if he refused to ask, just so that scene of that story?
(laughing)
Good laugh.
You know why's that guy just laughed?
You wanna know why?
Light bulb went off, right above his head.
He said, I like zis guy.
I like his hoodie.
He says, Hey, maybe I'm in my thirties, but hey,
maybe I'm not.
Maybe I'm in college.
Maybe I'm in my thirties, and I'm in college.
You know what I mean?
You guys don't know.
Lotta people don't know.
The light bulb has never gone off for you.
You know what I mean?
In order to think about it,
the light bulb has to already be there.
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Was the light bulb there the whole time and not turned on?
And then when it was turned on, I even realized,
Oh my God.
The light bulb has been there the whole time.
When it was off, I didn't know anything.
And yet, when it turned on, I was like,
You know what?
Maybe I've known everything this whole time.
So, that guy probably gets it.
Good for him.
Thanks for coming down.
Thanks for coming down tonight.
Good crowd.
Good vibe.
Good energy.
You know what I mean?
You guys ever think about energy?
How it works, who it is, who started it?
That's what I say.
If they say, hey, we've got an energy crisis.
I go, hey, who started this whole thing?
You know who have answers for that?
No people. Zero people.
They're like, I don't know, I guess...
I don't know where energy comes from.
Like one day, this light bulb's gonna go off,
and you're gonna know where it comes from, 'kay?
It comes from a place, probably perfect...
(scattered laughing)
Purple, purple, purple, test, sexually-diseased.
(laughing)
Go ahead, tell me you've researched what I just said.
You haven't, so you don't know that I'm wrong.
It's a blog, go to it.
Read it.
It tells you, who are we, how'd it get started.
Energy, folks.
Energy, it's starting to circulate in here.
Oh, where did the energy in the room come from?
Maybe it came from a people places perfect purple pig test
sexually diseases.
You don't know that it hasn't!
I'm already this tired, I have to sit down.
The power of the PPPPPTSD.
I don't remember at all what I said,
but I know that I enjoyed it.
You guys have been a lot of fun.
Thank you very much.
(applauding)
- Rory Scovel!
- I feel like it was all triggered by stuff.
Like, for instance, to pass the test,
you just happen to go with the chord,
and then the light bulb thing, just one guy laughing.
It immediately made me think of
a light bulb was going off above his head.
And I gotta say, I really enjoyed it.
- Holy shit, that was Rory Scovel!
