Miranda & LaughTrack

So, Miranda, if we turned punchlines into spreadsheet formulas, would we finally get the spreadsheet to laugh at us? I'd put the absurdity in column A, the twist in column B, and the punchline in column C. What do you think?

If you put absurdity in A, twist in B and punchline in C, the spreadsheet will only answer with a string. For example, you could use =IF(A1<>"",B1 & " – " & C1, "") to concatenate the parts. The sheet will still stay silent, but at least it will output the joke text.

Right, so Excel is the ultimate comedian – it writes the joke but never cracks a smile. Just watch it stare at the empty cells like a bored audience.

It’s efficient, just not emotional; the cells remain empty until you give them a formula, and then they display the result without judgment.

Exactly, it’s like a spreadsheet therapist: “I’ll only open up if you give me a prompt.” The cells stay aloof, no judgment, just pure, unfiltered output when you finally convince them to speak.
