He got judges giggling when he mercilessly ribbed them in a tongue-in-cheek fashion in hilarious scenes which aired on Britain's Got Talent.
But Robert White had no qualms in admitting his own faults in an honest interview he did with The Daily Mirror following his performance on Saturday night.
The comedian happily confessed he got fired from 36 jobs in under seven years because people thought he was 'odd'.
Speaking honestly, Robert told the newspaper: 'I constantly got fired from jobs — 36 in under seven years.'
The funnyman explained he was once fired because he wore a Gareth Gates' mask while carrying out his call centre duties as it was against the company rules.
He explained: 'There was this list of things you couldn’t do in the call centre and it was such a specific list that I noticed it did not state that you could not answer the phone wearing a Gareth Gates’ mask.
'So I put on a Gareth Gates’ mask and got fired. Most people thought I was odd.'
Robert's admission comes after he told The Sun that not all his jokes have gone down quite so well and one past prank on his ex-boyfriend landed him three months in prison on remand.
He told the publication: 'I’d misunderstand things and, one time, that led to a practical joke the police mistranslated as a crime. I got three months in Wandsworth prison.'
The comedian, who has autism and Asperger syndrome, planned to go into the shop where his ex-boyfriend worked in a ball gown with a music stand and say 'music stand and deliver'.
However, he didn't do it and instead was questioned by officers after stepping in front of a police car.
And when he called the stand a gun, because he was supposed to be a comedy armed robber, he was set to be charged with armed robbery but it was later changed to attempt to threaten with an imitation firearm.
He candidly added: 'I look back on this as a foolish mistake. I was only 19, hadn’t yet been diagnosed with Asperger’s and had some growing up to do.'
However, despite his past mistake, Robert's comedy audition went down really well with the judges made up of Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon on Saturday's first episode.
During his routine, the comedian joked that his sketch had to be 'PC' so he performed a song about computers, incorporating each judge into it.
In the lyrics, he joked: 'David Walliams wanted to update his content reminder/He brought me a massive ring binder/But when I looked all the contacts were from Grinder.'
He added: 'Amanda Holden was the only one who's Instagram was on the mark/She said her outfits have so much spark/I said I'm just jealous I'll never dress like you/Cos I don't shop in Primark.'
While he went on to joke that Alesha's webcam wasn't broken, it was just her face, and that Simon has no friends.
Despite the absolute roasting, the judges were left in hysterics and all scored Robert four 'yeses'.
David said: 'Robert I love you. You're a beautiful soul. Comedy flows from you like water.'
While Simon added: 'You're very unique, you're very quirky, very funny, very naughty, Robert, which we like!'
Britain's Got Talent continues on Saturdays at 8pm on ITV.
