 Here's an improved version of the stand-up comedy bit, revised based on the critical feedback:

 Comedic Persona: A self-deprecating yet keen observer of the mundane struggles and awkward moments that come with modern dating as a millennial. 

 Style: Observational comedy grounded in personal experiences and relatability, with splashes of misdirection and absurdity.

 Topic: The struggle to make a good impression on first dates and not seem "crazy" to potential romantic partners.

 Rewritten Bit:

 "Dating is just a nightmare carousel of awful first impressions, isn't it? You go through all this effort - updating your photos, crafting a bio that doesn't scream 'serial killer vibes' - and for what? Just to sit across from someone wondering if they're already envisioning the most plausible escape routes.

 (Opening grounds the audience in the universally relatable struggle of dating and desire to not come across as bizarre) 

 See, my problem is, I have this internal weirdness filter that seems to short-circuit whenever I get nervous. It's like someone hits the 'randomize' button on my personality.

 (Establishing the comedic premise of his quirky persona surfacing uncontrollably)

 I'll be on a date, and things are going fine - we're making decent conversation, no ghastly lulls. And then, out of nowhere, a switch flips and I hear myself saying something like: "You'll never believe what I dreamt about last night - pigeons, but they could all speak Portuguese and they were running an elaborate pan-global communications heist."

 (Absurd non-sequitur example subverts expectations, elicits surprise/laughter)

 And I can just see the gears turning in their head as they try to formulate a response that doesn't validate my descent into insanity. 

 (Observational beat calling back to the shared experience of losing the narrative thread)

 They're probably thinking: "Did I accidentally ingest something? Is he speaking in code? Should I...play along? Nod politely? Fake a seizure and escape?"

 (Punchline visualizing the internal conflict and indecision facing the bewildered date lands with surprise/humor)

 Then I'll compound the weirdness by leaning in like I'm about to reveal some profound truth and whisper: "You know, if you rearrange the letters in 'debit card,' it spells 'a bribedct.'" Then I'll just sit back and smile like I've cracked the Da Vinci Code or something.

 (Escalating example of nonsensical "fun facts" undermining any sense of normalcy)

 At that point, I've basically planted a neon sign over my head flashing "Unstable! Unstable! Evacuate the premises!"

 (Callback to the premise of his persona coming across as unhinged)

 Meanwhile, I'm just sitting there obliviously enjoying my beverage, completely unaware that my date is desperately scrolling through emergency contacts and updating their last will and testament under the table.

 (Visual punchline showing the escalated reaction/internal panic from the other perspective)

 So if any of you perpetually single folks out there also suffer from this fatal inability to just act normal on dates, you're not alone! We should start a support group - it can meeting in revolving doors so there's a swift escape hatch for when things inevitably go awry.

 (Commiserating with the audience through final comedic example that encapsulates the persona's quirks)

 Application of Critique:

 1. Refined Premise: Retaining the core premise of not wanting to seem "crazy" on dates, but adjusting perspective to lean into owning his weirdness more overtly as the source of inevitable awkwardness.

 2. Reconstructed Setup: Opens by firmly establishing the inherent struggles and pressures of dating, funneling down to his nervous tics specifically through smooth narrative transitions.

 3. Rewritten Punchlines: Multiple hard-hitting punchline moments that visualize the date's reactions through specific mental images like faking a seizure or scrolling for emergency contacts. Increases potency.
 4. Emphasized Techniques:
    - Escalating misdirection through absurd non-sequitur examples of his persona
    - Callbacks consistently reinforcing core comedic premise 
    - Visual/tangible depictions through phrases like "flashing neon sign"
    - Observational humor around shared dating/conversational experiences

 5. Stronger Persona: The self-aware, idiosyncratic yet harmless "quirky guy" persona is established earlier and leans into those quirks more overtly and consistently. Grounds his perspective as the lens.

 6. Refined Structure/Flow: 
    - Tight opening directly centering the premise upfront
    - Smooth narrative escalation and progression between jokes/examples
    - Each section builds logically with clear setup->punchline arcs
    - Final example circles back succinctly, capping off the routine

 7. Defined Comedy Style: Solidly exemplifying observational comedy style through personal stories and awkward situations highlighted for humor. No deviations into sketch territory.

 8. Other Refinements:
    - More judicious use of extremes/absurdity to avoid undermining plausibility 
    - Additional visual/tangible descriptors to augment humor in live setting
    - Smoother integration of high-impact punchline visualizations

 By tweaking perspective, honing the comedic persona, and refining setup/punchline dynamics, this rewritten version doubles down on the bit's inherent strengths. The tighter structure, emphasis on visual/tangible humor, and dedication to its observational style create a polished routine primed for laughs in a live performance setting.
