I know, I was trying to explain part why I think he seems ignorant. It looks to me like he's basing much of that routine on his own opinions which seem uneducated. The clip fails as stand-up comedy for me because despite all else, I don't think his jokes are funny. I'm open to the idea he might have funnier moments that may appeal, though.
