This really hit home. My daughters are 13 and 17. I’ve been helping them with their math homework since the beginning. Now I can’t remember how to do math like algebra, trig etc. So I fake it, google it, bought a trig/ calculus dvd...etc. They still think I’m smart! Fingers crossed!
I love Kahn Academy. It is a free website and has recorded lessons of teachers. So I can look up specific math topics and see them taught. 😀 In fact there are lessons on so many subject areas. Love it!
Yeah, but we don't
My dad used to stare at my homework for a few painful minutes before we both realize it was time to move on R.I.P dad!
Tom Foolery - awesome tribute. Wish I had a dad like yours. Ever...😶😎😶 please be grateful that you had that! Contributed to your being...cooooooo
❤️
Rip.....😇
I was the same with my kids.
Mommy will you help me? I look and just stare lol
Mine had the Bill Engvall reaction. “When did they start putting the alphabet in math?!”
This guy was amazing! The narrator voice was flawless, and the "cheap trick" punchline was arguably THE BEST joke on the show, yet people merely reacted to it.
In my humble opinion HE KILLED!
That cheap trick was hilarious, but it did go over the head of the audience...
How is it humble if you say your humble

In my humble opinion, this guy is top 10 I've seen on Dry Bar. That Bill bit had me crying 😂
Let me know your Top 10 thanks

That bus driver candy joke was solid. Great job and holy cow on the memorization!
Pp pp p]0ppp
@Thida Lynda: His mannerisms had me rofl’ing! That driver sounds like Tim Meadows’ character, Leon Phelps
Hilarious! 🤣
@@globetrekker86 Hahah, yes, totally!
I said the same thing I’m like what’s up with these ads
When I was young I was in the hospital. My mom came to visit me and brought me a box of Captain Crunch. She usually only bought no name cereal. I assumed it meant I was dying!
Omg, the Cap'n was brought in to consult on your case ... that's a Mother's love.
i dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.

@@davianabel3381 Here is a really analog method to remember your passwords: Write them down on paper in a spiral bound notebook! You would be surprised at how well this works! Good luck!

My Dad had the opposite problem. He couldn't dumb down his math skills enough to help me with high school algebra.
@Sherman Cater - That's probably bc you are a common core kid. Lol
@@paperclips4113 I missed that by a few years. I was a "New Math" kid.
I should probably clarify, I'm talking about the Tom Lehrer New Math.
And they teach the kids that the world would end if they didnt take the 47 extra steps to get to the same answer old math did in 3 steps😂🤣😂🤣
@@minttea1966 YES! Awful! The answer does not matter. They want them to show the steps in a particular form. They want them to think and articulate their thinking-process! It's crazy!
@@minttea1966 Ain't that the truth! I told my kids to forget all the new math crap, and just use standard math. I only wanted to know that he got the right answer. I don't care about all the extra steps. New math is a waste of time. Literally.
When my dad went back to school for nursing I had to sit down at the kitchen table and help him with his math homework 😂 when I started calculus I knew I was on my own lol!
That’s so sweet that you helped him and much respect and appreciation to your father! I hope he’s staying safe and has become a nurse ❤️

“What were you thinking? Well, we were kind of thinking that it doesn’t really affect your life” Great line!
Except we all do pay taxes to pay for their education
Once common core started no one could help my kids with their math..... and my mom is a CFO..... I made an appointment with the teacher...... she didn’t know how to do it either 😬
lol
is common core still around
I'm pretty sure I was raised with Common Core, so I can't speak for the veracity of earlier methods. What I can say is that 99% of people I've met who weren't raised with other methods *still hate math.* I'm pretty convinced that most of the people who complain about Common Core couldn't help their kids with math if the lessons were exactly the same as the ones they got as a kid. It's the result of a societal stigma towards math as a whole because people have long since realized that it's easier to complain about math than to actually learn it.
@Carol Young Very true. According to history I can "discover" my neighbors Cadillac Escalade and keep it for myself. Lol!!!
Carol Young yes ma’am. I put my kids in private school when in the middle of a math test a question popped up on the computer that said “How many people have you had sex with?”
A. 0-3. B.4-7. C. 8-12 . D. More
And the homework two different nights were “Write down everything in your parents medicine cabinet” and a couple nights later..... “How does the state provide for you like your parents/family, but better?” He was 14 at the time and my daughter was 17. Nope! Done Done!!!
Did anyone else not realize how many types of candies there was until he named them all hahaja
I was shocked by the list myself.
I think he said Laffy Taffy twice.
he .. he missed sour patch !
@@annfraley7083 because its twice as good haha
Did you ever hear of ``Mary Janes?'' He stuck that in there. Maybe he meant marijuana.
*Careful Bill...it's the devil!*
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Laughed so hard...
Omg I spit my tea out that was so funny and spot-on ! 😂😂
When he said "too bad for Bill" 😂😂😂🤦
I snorted when I laughed and cried laughing so hard! 🤣
I laughed way to hard😭🤣
He gets funnier as he goes! Man, he had the fifties anti-drug film voice down to a science.
Y
I couldn't stop laughing at one point. The greyhound bus driver naming all the candy was awesome!
I had flashbacks listening to him about the drug films. 🤣🤣
It was shown during Science too!
I had a defective phone with GPS once. It didn't give me any directions at all until I arrived at my destination and then it said "you have arrived".
@ghogue61 😂 that happened to ME TOO!
My GPS actually told me "You can walk the rest of the distance to your location."
What???
@@lorriejones8064 😵😂🤭🤔😂😂😂
That was screenshot-able.
@@paperclips4113 I literally laughed out loud after I read your comment. Thank you!
Wow dear God he’s fantastic. That was truly hilarious, beyond entertaining; it was 36 minutes of pure joy for me, he is super talented and creative. I am beyond impressed with every single joke!!! Thank you Dry Bar comedy you always deliver and never disappoint!!!
So did you think he was funny or not?
🌷I agree. 🤣
What did you watch?
I mean they definitely disappoint sometimes lol I appreciate what they do, I think this guy's funny, and their success rate is pretty good, but folks like James gregory....hoo boy, some of em are painfully unfunny : p
OMG He is hilarious and it just builds into the other parts of the sets. Really enjoyed this. Thank you so much.
ROFL LOVED the candy call out during bus ride.
That was my favorite part too.

Don't feel bad for not understanding the point of "new math" methods" The reason people have trouble with them is because they are trying to work out why you would approach a simple problem from such a convoluted strategy. New Math has thrown out the baby with the bathwater to teach a few almost useless tricks, while ignoring the foundation and principles which allow them to make sense. I will put my old math against anybody's new math any day of the week, and I'll do it all in my head. Most new math victims can't figure out simple sums because they don't have a scratch paper and fifteen tables to complicate what would otherwise be common sense. Databyter
Long multiplication and division in my head everyday when I need to math something out. My teachers in grade school used to get mad at me for not showing my work with the little graphics they wanted.
They have been changing math every 15 / 20 years since I was in school. Manufactured generation gap. Why listen to a parent's advice on any subject?? Dummies can't even do simple math.
@@Evilrose0611 To heII with those stupld graphics.
My physics prof got mad too. I told him that since 3 semesters of Calculus is a requirement to get in the class, I can do this stuff in my head!
You don't have time to do those stupld graphics on physics tests. You need to know this stuff cold.
Absolutely agree! I went from going to math competitions every year, to straight up failing any mathematical exam. The transition from middle school to high school was TOUGH for me. New math isn't for everyone, and that was something I had to force myself to understand. The moment they started putting letters in mathematics, that's when it started becoming difficult for me.
Like my kids needed anything more then the basics and maybe make Budgeting and Balancing your money and Bank accounts as part of Math. I am 66 and learned everything I need by living.
School? I learned Historic lies, Zero about Government and very little to ready me for the World
This guys impersonations are so good.
That candy list was impressive! Kudos, man.
I think Kudos was the only candy he missed!!
"Careful, Bill."
Me: spine dissolves laughing.
Muffled Laughter.
Been following Toomey's comedy for years! Nice to finally see him on Dry Bar. I wish he'd release his hilarious TV & Me comedy show where he imitates most of all the classic primetime TV and cartoon characters of his youth!
that gps joke is the most relatable thing i've ever heard
This guy actually made me laugh about situations in life that would normally make me sad😂😭
I stopped being able to help my daughter with her advanced math midway through her 8th grade year. That's pretty much where I stopped understanding advanced math midway through my 8th grade year. Wish Khan Academy existed when I was younger. Thankfully, unlike me, she graduated with honors this year.
I think the root of the problem may be that, in my experience, the math teachers never communicate why someone should learn this stuff. There are some basic skills which you may rarely need but will be vital when you do, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and fractions and percentages as a useful kicker. No one has ever needed to figure out when a train leaving New York at 2:00 traveling 60 miles an hour will meet a train leaving Chicago at 3:00 traveling 90 miles an hour. The reason you should learn to answer questions like that is to teach your mind to look at a problem, and not just a math problem, and analyze it in an orderly manner.
That adam west impression was spot on
My mom helped me with my math homework when I was in like grade 5, we both got most of it wrong hahaha
OMG put that candy rap to a beat! LMAO 😂🤣
We had remedial training for students in the morning before they went to their 1st class. I was the librarian and had middle school students in my classes. I was supposed to teach 3 ways to solve a problem, but I taught one that they could remember. Even the most troublesome student did better just learning the natural way to solve a math problem. When we did reading I felt at home since library books were my job. Not all ways work like the "experts" that make the new ways.
The candy bars , OMG ! I couldn't stop laughing.. This man is brilliant but I thought the "voice" might not go over well in some cities . With out saying it was spot on ! I had to ride a Trailways Bus everyday to school. Very funny stuff .
I was SO impressed with how he listed ALL those candies and gum brands without missing a beat!! 😂👍 Brought back alot of memories for me along with the costumes... I was dying throughout the whole show 👌
He is amazing with his voice! The way he plays with it is just pure delight. Not even mentioning that he is genuinely funny.
Mike Toomey, the man with all the answers! I enjoy watching you mornings on WGN.
I worked in a daycare we had two nursing students a engineering student and I was a business student. We wrote a letter for a 5th grader saying we couldn’t figure out how to help her with her homework and neither could her parents. The teacher wrote a note back she apologized to her students and gave them full credit and got rid of that homework.
I once took a worksheet back in to the teacher for my nephew. It was out and out wrong in the math. They had to get rid of that one.
And they're always trying to show them 3 or 4 methods to come to an answer. I'm like "Just let them do the problem!"
@@saritataylor4235 I fear what math is going to be like when my son starts school in 5 years. My old teachers favorite saying was there’s more than one way to skin a cat. She said It every time someone asked why we need to know different ways to get a answer
So tell me how does getting rid of homework help someone learn how to do the math that they need.
@@bonnieweidman1002 it wasn’t at the correct level the kids were learning at the time they were unable to complete the homework she threw it out so it didn’t effect their grades
I was not ready for the awesome impression of Adam West...
My husband and I tapped out with our 1st grader with predicate nouns..
We felt like morons. Haha
And yeah I was told by my college bound friends that "college isn't for everyone".. jokes on them as they have 6 figure student debt and my husband has a 6 figure trade job without the debt.😅
Hey! Sorry to bother you, but may I please ask what that trade is? I’ve been looking at different trades to take up instead of going to college (not for a lack of interest. I love learning, but I can learn for free on the Internet and would rather get OUT of debt (thanks medical bills!) than add to it. Plus, there aren’t enough people going into trade so it’s just gonna balloon a tradesmen’s salary
Yep, went to a 1 yr trade school, automotive, many decades ago. Cheap, and worth it. Got out with a job at a dealership. Worked on Mercedes Benz. $11.00 per hr, was good money 33 yrs ago, but.. quit, and started another business. Knowing how to work on stuff, saved me prob $100,000.00 over the last few decades, working on my fleet of junk.
Me over here just quietly chanting "C's get degrees! C's get degrees!"
So do D's
A friend of mine was a straight A student. But she still got D's in college too 🤣😂🤣
I’ve heard that but someone once said she wouldn’t want her brain surgeon to have only earned C’s. 🧐🤔
This guy sounds like Robert off of the Ray Romano show
@@AimeeGirl This was me also. I didn't know how to study when I got to university because I never had to in high school
Omg sounds like Mike Tyson driving the bus. 😂
Fortuitous Trinkets! ❤️⭐️🧲🍀🌑💰🌈🎈 😂🤣☠️
This guy is fantastic. I got to the point during the cereal bit where I could no longer breathe. Awesome man, keep rolling.
TOTALLY agree about Cap'n Crunch! And I think I lived on that from age 21-23!
Your tape costs less than a blank tape... Lol
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
We get to enjoy Mike almost every morning on our WGN station in Chicago. He's a blast!
OMG this guy is sooooooo funny! I'm literally crying! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That candy list was amazing!! I remember all of those! 😊
@Rob Figaro It's spelled
L I T E R A L L Y, duh.
Hope you're not home-schooling anyone above the 3rd-grade level, ROFL!
Your tape costs less than a blank tape...
I lost it! 😂🤣🤣😂
I always buy my sunglasses at the .99 Cent Only Store for the very same reasons.
He has those accents down pat especially the bus driver from the Midwest. I know that Chicago accent anywhere.
This guy's voice game is amazing.
"What is that made out of, gravel?"
“Careful Bill “ omg I laughed so loud my neighbours probably heard me !
Just imaging the GPS actually replying "Yes! If I don't say anything, keep going straight!" cracks me up.
Crunch of Captains had me crying!!!
I laughed SO hard and SO long at this comedic genius... I am sore! What a welcome surprise!
Mike Toomey's got the special kind of announcer voice that would land him a seat alongside the crew of Rifftrax in their next Coronet/AVI edutainment short! 📼😁 Great stuff!
Actually check him out on WGN TV Chicago's Morning Show at 9am
4:30 my uncle offered to adopt me and enroll me in the copper mill apprenticeship. daddy: "my son is going to college". i flunked out, went to VN, and my cousin is now retired as UMW treasurer making $120k/mo retired pay. thanks daddy.
Great set. Just brilliant. Remember to give him an up vote folks.
That list of candy brands was phenomenal! 😂I’m weak!
Loved Mike's special about the dollar store and the candies the bus driver ranted off 😂😂😂😂👍🏻💖💖
Hey Mike,
GGGGGGOOOOOOOD MORNING Chicago! This is amazing, I didn't know this about you! Very Cool!!
I remember him headlining as a comic back in 1990. Had no idea he was still doing it or working at WGN, lol.
His voices were amazing!!
The Greyhound driver!!
I nicknamed him 'Lose Tooth Rufus'🤣🤣
We had to be on the same.bus!
Only candy we got was chico sticks!
Gotta admit that last part about the bus driver and candy was hysterical!
The candy part sounds like 'Leon Phelps Ladies Man' from SNL 😂😂😂
First time I met common core (11 years ago), my friend's 3rd grade daughter was like "Can you help me with my math homework?!" Sure!.....First problem?? After a 5 minute rant on the idiocy packed within her obviously sadistic teacher, I hugged her and said "Sorry, honey, but I'm gonna go, because I need therapy now." Lol
Very impressed with the memory capacity! 😳 I was an A student in Trigonometry but, there some problems with bad instructions on my 3rd grader homework that leaves me scratching my head! 🤪😜
Fortuitous trinkets. 🤣
WTF Mike? I watch you every morning on WGN9 Chicago. Never heard you mention Dry Bar.
Oh hey look, a red car! My gps keeps telling me to turn too late.
He had so many spot on impressions OMG! 😂😂 the greyhound bus driver and PSA weed voice Lmao seriously 😂😂🤣
This guy was hilarious...the ending with the bus driver was hysterical😅🤣😅
I was amazed with the LONG list of candy 🍬 😋 34:00
"Careful bill"
I laughed so hard I choked on my spit
Corn flakes are mold.
17:44 The list of dollar store items is hilarious! LOL!
When he was talking about “bill” it reminded me of Milkman from Nick at Night. 😂
SpaghettiOs three for a dollar!? That's a good deal.
I love this guy. The last part was Golden 😂😂😂😂
This guy does the best original batman impressions. Found him through my favorite local radio duo from back in the day.
The candy bar rundown was nuts 😲😂😂
This guy was awesome so funny continuously. The audience should have been roaring with laughter a dud audience . Keep up the laughs you are awesome.
The decor fit right into the garage sale part🤣
I loved your act! I laughed so hard 🤣 😂
I am an engineer and don't have patience trying to explain math to my 8th grade son, which I think is extremely easy but for him it's extremely difficult. Teachers deserve a medal for their patience and hard work. 🏅 👏
We should have never turned from the abacus
Yeah, we.had a dentist living on the next street over. He always gave out a generic looking plain white tooth brush in a plastic sleeve like a straw comes in. A tiny tube of generic toothpaste. And a pamphlet on the importance of brushing after eating sweets. One year I guess he got tired of kids egging his house, and that year he gave out sticks of sugar free gum. The next year he went back to toothbrushes, too many kids stuck their chewed gum on his doorknob.😜
I actually went to church with a dentist who passed out candy for special events, like Easter. I always thought he was drumming up business!
You little shits!
@@Mateo-et3wl I didn't do it, he was MY dentist, I wouldn't have DARED.
Ahah son is 20 I'm 52...constantly throwing up "parent talk" my mom laughs 🤣🤮🤪🤭
i'm laughing so hard! i almost spit out my berries lol
29:52 and 32:18 - He really did save the best for last! 😂. I laughed so hard and have watched the bus driver bit three times already, 😄.
Great Job, Mike !!!
Wow, the ending was amazing. I've been known to tell stories to an audience, so I know what rehearsing is. This guy did some work!
The Capt Crunch gravel took me out!! 💀😂😂😂
If you can't do new math, you can't think. Lol!
If you drive from Dallas to Houston in three and a half hours, you're starting from the farthest point to the south in Dallas, going to the northernmost point of Houston - and you're driving 90 mph.
Yeah, I was thinking, ``more like 5 hours.'' And that's as the crow flies, if there are some good highways that take that diagonal? Otherwise, it's south to Austin (4 hours,) and turn left and drive another 2-3 hours.
I think the big problem is kids are expected to solve math problems in many different ways and to explain how they solved them. This is ridiculous as most kids get confused. When I was a student, we were shown 1 way. We mastered that one way and could do it. We did not have to explain and solve, just solve. Now today we have very confused kids except for the very few brilliant kids.
Love love love this whole comedy routine! The BEST is the talkative Bus Driver at the end! Ahhh. Laughed so hard I snorted at work. Love ❤️
EVERY CANDY EVER! Amazing!!!
😅 LoL is all I can say! Love you, where have you been? Thanks for the laughs
I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time!!! His voices are amazing!!! 👍🏻
Great to hear a good comedian who keeps it clean.
30:02 Saw this about 3Y ago. To this day my wife and I say "CAREFUL BILL!"
Robert Barone? (Everybody Loves Raymond)
I'm glad to see Mike is still doing his thing. He used to headline at a club in Chicago back in 1990ish, where I worked. Lovely guy, always liked his sets.
BEST impression of Adam West,EVER 😄
