Awesome routine. Making a spreadsheet of a photo is such a clever idea. One of those ideas which is so obvious in hindsight (for anyone who understand RGB values and spreadsheet conditional formatting.) But I never would have thought of putting those two together, or imagined it would end up looking so good. Matt really has a gift for providing entertaining demonstrations of technical and mathematical concepts.
Dad: what's the most important thing you've ever done with your life, son? Son: I got about a hundred people to pay to hear me say a pun about Microsoft Excel at a comedy club. Dad: I'm so proud of you.
If you look at his expressions he’s either playing and teasing with the audience or just laughing from how much fun he’s having on stage, and you can really tell how much he loves performing❤
Miss the OHP. No expectation of high production values. A pack of five coloured pens, a pile of foils and packs of the kind that you can ink print/laser print and photo copy onto. You can put your presentation together anywhere, even sat out side in the summer sun in Brisbane. No temptation to try to pack too much info on one foil. Forced you into some good habits. Stick a blank foil over the top, scribble, annotate and highlight on the hoof without destroying the original. Cannot say I miss the punched paper tape or the teletype. Think it is quite recent that NHS stopped using Fax, Boeing are phasing out 3.5" floppys (rather the old 747's that have them) and DoD have retired 8" floppys from missile defence after about 50 years. B-52s are all older than 57yrs and are not due to retire before they hit 90yrs old
There's not much wrong with OHPs. They are a lot cheaper than many more modern alternatives and are pretty reliable. I have never seen a school or university classroom, where every computer and it's ports worked perfectly. OHPs o the other hand are much more reliable
Ironically, the only thing I was thinking was that he was OCD or something and he liked a LOT of large numbers in an excel document. When the colors came into play, I thought, "How is he going to see some of those values if they're so dark?" The best part is I'm a photographer. I guess that showed where my head was.
This is basically art, math and science combined into one fun video - if only I can translate this into a format that teenagers in high school can appreciate (or heck students at the tail end of elementary/primary school)

Why are math people always so good damn good at speaking and being funny. Every single math teacher I had (except elementary) was the coolest and funniest teacher
In order to be engaging one must first truly love what they are presenting. Matt Parker (and your teachers) have a beautiful love for the field. I wish all teachers could reach this level of excitement!
Spreadsheets are fantastic for organizing your life, particularly with hobbies and past times. I use them frequently when running tabletop roleplaying games with my friends. They're really quite handy.
I just went to your think maths site do do a picture, then browsed the other downloads. I think you will be happy to know that I experienced a physical shiver of excitement while reading the names of some of the spreadsheets.
I just realized how you can make the people laugh just by talking the same way as the other stand-up comedians. You don't even need to have good jokes! All you need is a subject that can be a bit interesting and then talking like any stand-up comedian and then, you have a stand-up comedy show!
You remind me so much of classic Michael Palin in this one, Matt. Speech and look are similar. Hadn't noticed it before. Excellent routine too! I'm glad I got to see you three in London a couple years ago.
I knew you are funny, but having a stand-up comedy like this... never expected! Amazing! I had a lot of fun watching it! p.s. why should I ruin hours and hours of fun using your picture ulploader, when I can do every picture I want by myself (yeah, years and years of fun!)
Apparently not. There is a Great Big Story video about mathematicians' love for a certain brand of chalk. So it seems many prefer to stand up before a literal chalkboard.
I was having a bad night and while this thing obviously didn’t fix it, it certainly brightened up my evening just a little bit. I’m glad I remembered it and I’m glad you did it. Thank you if you see this.

The problem with 'real' stand-up comedy is that it is really hard/expensive to film. But I'll put up other bits from this Spoken Nerd DVD in a few months.
This is great fun.. Although I wonder why you spend a weekend on applying the conditional formatting. You could've added a column with in all cells the formula: "=IF(MOD(ROW();3)=0;3;MOD(ROW();3))" - then you would have been able to filter the matrix for all the R,G or B rows. Then select visible cells only and apply conditional format. Could have been done in less then 5 minutes. But I don't want to be a wiseguy, and hey; now you were able to spend more time with your favourite spreadsheet! Which is great on itself. Love this kind of useless (with all the respect) usage of spreadsheets... Greetings from the Netherlands!
I actually built a small neural network in a spreadsheet for fun. It could read a "picture" of any single seven segment display number. I didnt know how to make it recognize pictures so I made it so that when I enter a number it simplifies that number into the segments used in the display than rebuilds it into a display output.
a while back u did a video with brady explianing some maths jokes, could you do that again? ive heard plenty new ones recently, like joker: "what do you get when you integrate (cabin)^-1 dcabin?", victum: "a natural log-cabin?", joker: "definitely not, you forgot the c, its a boathouse!", etc. that i think could suit a video like that.
I once had a fun time a couple years ago making a spreadsheet of 'electric field' values, where numbers were given a hue of a gradient (white-red-black) and played around with intensity of a field and how it looked when overlapping with others.
