You have to listen to Robert Mac–he sets up a scene and takes you with him on the journey of the joke. Part of the fun is going along on this journey.
Robert Mac takes you along with him, delights you with imagery and kindly self-deprecation, and then pause. Great comic timing, within the jokes and between them, never rushed, always time to appreciate the cleverness of the routine.
Robert Mac gives you time to laugh and time to reflect about how he took you to this funny place.
