John Mulaney pokes fun at San Francisco Tech Bros during Dreamforce set

Last year, Seth Meyers roasted the contestants, and this year Mulaney took up the baton.

The comedian delivered a 45-minute set in which he mocked everything from the city of San Francisco to the conference attendees, The San Francisco Standard reported.

The comedian pondered why a city that has “failed humanity so miserably” was chosen to host a conference focused on the future of AI, according to the publication.

The city has struggled to bounce back from the pandemic. Office vacancies in San Francisco last year were among the highest of any major U.S. urban center following a wave of tech cutbacks.

On Thursday, Dreamforce committed to holding the conference in San Francisco for at least three years — a major win for the city.

Mulaney’s war went beyond the city; he saved plenty of material for the techie crowd, poking fun at their convoluted job titles, professional dress codes and replaceability, according to The Standard.

“Can AI sit there in a woolen vest?” Mulaney asked the crowd. “Can’t AI just go to events and hang out at a bar all day?”

The comedian continuously worked the crowd throughout the set, suggesting that several audience members are working on projects that are “just okay” but spend their days trying to make them sound “more awesome” than they are. , The Standard reported.

“Are you the VP of Customer Success?” he asked one person, according to the publication. “Congratulations on your position that didn’t exist five years ago!”

Mulaney also singled out the stereotypically vague language frequently heard in conversations between senior techies.

“The fact that there are 45,000 “pioneers” here could no longer devalue the title,” he said to the press.

After his Dreamforce appearance, Mulaney also played a one-night show at the Golden Gate Theater in San Francisco, where he had some additional teases for the city by the bay.

“San Francisco, you’ve always been bad at being a city, and you’re fine,” Mulaney said, according to SFGate.

The comedian returned to the stage in recent years after a stint in rehab in 2020.
