Comedy |
| The world is changing |
| The planet’s heating up |
| What the fuck is going on? |
| Rearranging |
| It’s like everything happened all at once |
| Um, what the fuck is going on? |
| The people rising in the streets, the war, the drought |
| The more I look the more I see nothing to joke about |
| Is comedy over? |
| Should I leave you alone? |
| 'Cause, really who’s gonna go for joking at a time like this? |
| Should I be joking at a time like this? |
| I wanna help to leave this world better than I found it |
| And I fear that comedy won’t help |
| And the fear is not unfounded |
| Should I stop trying to be funny? |
| Should I give away my money? |
| No! |
| What do I do? |
| Healing the world with comedy |
| The indescribable power of your comedy |
| The world needs direction |
| From a white guy like me? |
| Bingo |
| Who is healing the world with comedy? |
| That’s it! |
| The world is so fucked up |
| Systematic oppression |
| Income inequality |
| The other stuff |
| And there’s only one thing I can do about it… |
| While… while being paid… and being the center of attention |
| Healing the world with comedy |
| Making a literal difference, metaphorically |
| A Jew walks into a bar |
| And I’ve saved him a seat |
| That’s healing the world with comedy |
| I’m a special kind of white guy |
| I self-reflected and I want to be an agent of change |
| So I am going to use my privilege for the good |
| (Very cool, way to go!) |
| American white guys |
| We’ve had the floor for at least 400 years |
| So maybe I should just shut the fuck up |
| I’m bored |
| I don’t wanna do that |
| There’s got to be another way |
| For me to help out without standing on the sidelines |
| Never! |
| The wait is over! |
| I’m white, and I’m here to save the day! |
| Lord help me channel Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side |
| Sandra Bullock! |
| Healing the world with comedy |
| Making a literal difference, metaphorically |
| And yes, most likely they’ll pay me |
| But I’d do it for free |
| I am healing the world with: |
| Comedy |
| If you wake up in a house that’s full of smoke |
| Don’t panic, call me and I’ll tell you a joke |
| If you see white men dressed in white cloaks |
| Don’t panic, call me and I’ll tell you a joke |
| Oh shit, should I be joking in a time like this? |
| If you start to smell burning toast |
| You’re having a stroke or overcooking your toast |
| If you wake up in a house that’s full of smoke |
| Don’t panic, call me and I’ll tell you a joke |
| If you see white men dressed in white cloaks |
| Don’t panic, call me and I’ll tell you a joke |
| Oh shit, should I be joking in a time like this? |
| Somebody help me out, cause I don’t know |
| And I want to help to leave this world better than I found it |
| And I fear that comedy won’t help |
| And the fear is not unfounded |
| Should I stop trying to be funny? |
| Should I give away my money? |
| No! |
| I know what I gotta do |
| Healing the world with comedy |
| Making a literal difference, metaphorically |
| I swore I’d never be back |
| But now I’m back on my feet |
| And I’m healing the world with comedy |
