It got very tedious saying the same jokes in the same way with the same attitude.

The line expresses Macdonald’s impatience with routinized performance—having to repeat material night after night with a fixed persona. It points to a tension common in stand-up and television comedy: audiences and producers often want a reliable “version” of the comedian, while the comedian may crave spontaneity, risk, and genuine surprise. The complaint is less about the jokes themselves than about the enforced sameness of delivery and attitude, suggesting that comedy can become mechanical labor when it is reduced to a repeatable product. Implicitly, it also defends Macdonald’s reputation for resisting polish and predictability in favor of freshness and personal honesty.
