Taika Waititi, a guy well-known for being very serious in front of a microphone and never elevating the trivial for comedic effect.
> I disagree. I don’t think the Bible joke was brave at all. I think if you’re going to take on an entire religion, you should maybe know what you’re talking about. JK Rowling is a Christian and JK Rowling famously said that if you’re familiar with the Scriptures, you can easily guess the ending of her book. I don’t like it.
It was a professional critique from one comic to another. Norm wasn't offended by the Christian jokes, he just thought they were amateur-hour comedy at the expense of an easy target.
Point being -- people who are professionally funny, like Norm MacDonald or Taika Waititi, that's not how they are all the time. And you know when they're being funny and when they're being serious.
What is funny is suggesting that that should be the #1 priority for the Writers Guild of America.
As with any good joke, if you read deeply and between the lines, he's also clearly stating his opinion on the WGA and its problems. I'm just not familiar enough with the circumstances to know what the satire is about.
In the video he complains about the smallness of the keyboard causing his shoulders to be in a bad position. He also talks about the “bounce back“ of the keys.

Would be great if Apple just ran with this and reinvented the keyboard. That might mean nothing more than an external split keyboard that tents, for example.
You can hear people laughing at the end of his remarks.
