I think it helps when viewing anything with a open mind. If you go in with preconceived ideas you will never be able to judge things, anything clearly.
I found it sweet that he went out of his way to buy everyone a little something, that is something my mom would do just to show her appreciation of her co-workers, its something I have done myself when I have had the money the spend.
When you all are making negative comments I am wondering if that is more along the lines of what you would be thinking. I believe that is called "projecting" your own bad ideas and trying to say he came off as... sad.
Anyway I found him interesting and after I did go watch on youtube, very funny man.
