[00:01.04] The world is changing

[00:04.73] The planet's heating up

[00:08.19] What the fuck is going on?

[00:14.03] Rearranging

[00:16.69] It's like everything

[00:18.03] Happened all at once

[00:20.14] Um, what the fuck is going on?

[00:26.51] The people rising in the streets

[00:29.98] The war, the drought

[00:32.89] The more I look,

[00:34.22] The more I see nothing

[00:36.61] To joke about

[00:39.53] Is comedy over?

[00:42.45] Should I leave you alone?

[00:43.79] 'Cause, really, who's gonna go for

[00:45.91] Joking at a time like this?

[00:48.57] Should I be joking

[00:49.63] At a time like this?

[00:51.49] I wanna help to leave this world

[00:54.95] Better than I found it

[00:57.85] And I fear that comedy won't help

[01:01.32] And the fear is not unfounded

[01:04.50] Should I stop trying to be funny?

[01:07.97] Should I give away my money?

[01:10.89] No!

[01:16.22] What do I do?

[01:18.35] ...

[01:22.05] !

[01:23.67] Healing the world with comedy

[01:28.41] The indescribable power

[01:32.40] Of your comedy

[01:35.85] The world needs direction

[01:39.31] From a white guy like me

[01:42.23] Who is healing the world with

[01:46.22] Comedy

[01:48.35] ...

[01:50.21] That's it!

[01:53.62] The world is so...

[01:54.94] Fucked up

[01:56.80] Systematic oppression

[01:59.49] Income inequality

[02:02.39] The other stuff

[02:05.30] And there's only one thing

[02:06.35] That I can do about it

[02:09.25] While— While being paid

[02:10.81] And being the center of attention

[02:13.73] Healing the world with comedy

[02:18.24] Making a literal difference,

[02:21.44] Metaphorically

[02:23.56] A Jew walks into a bar,

[02:26.49] And I've saved him a seat

[02:29.41] That's healing the world with comedy

[02:34.19] I'm a special kind of white guy

[02:36.85] I self-reflected,

[02:37.67] And I wanna be

[02:38.47] An agent of change

[02:39.78] So I am gonna use my

[02:41.40] Privilege for the good

[02:43.27] (Very cool, way to go!)

[02:45.12] American white guys

[02:47.52] We've had the floor

[02:48.30] For at least four hundred years

[02:50.97] So maybe I should just

[02:52.81] Shut the fuck up

[02:55.50] ...

[03:00.25] I'm bored

[03:01.52] I don't wanna do that

[03:03.63] There's got to be another way

[03:06.82] For me to help out

[03:07.88] Without standing on the sidelines

[03:11.86] The wait is over

[03:14.26] I'm white, and I'm here

[03:15.86] To save the day

[03:16.93] Lord, help me channel

[03:18.53] Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side

[03:23.03] Healing the world with comedy

[03:27.29] Making a literal difference,

[03:30.49] Metaphorically

[03:32.88] And yes, most likely,

[03:34.47] They'll pay me,

[03:36.05] But I'd do it for free

[03:38.45] I am healing the world with comedy

[03:45.36] If you wake up in a

[03:46.15] House that's full of smoke

[03:47.76] Don't panic

[03:49.07] Call me, and I'll

[03:49.86] Tell you a joke

[03:50.93] If you see white men

[03:52.52] Dressed in white cloaks

[03:53.58] Don't panic

[03:54.65] Call me, and I'll

[03:55.44] Tell you a joke

[03:56.78] Oh shit

[03:58.90] Should I be joking

[03:59.96] At a time like this?

[04:02.35] If you start to

[04:03.41] Smell burning toast

[04:05.02] You're having a stroke or

[04:06.07] Overcooking your toast

[04:07.67] If you wake up in a

[04:08.72] House that's full of smoke

[04:10.59] Don't panic

[04:11.65] Call me, and I'll

[04:12.18] Tell you a joke

[04:13.51] If you see white men

[04:14.83] Dressed in white cloaks

[04:16.16] Don't panic

[04:17.23] Call me, and I'll

[04:18.03] Tell you a joke

[04:19.34] Oh shit

[04:21.48] Should I be joking

[04:22.54] At a time like this?

[04:24.95] Somebody help me out,

[04:26.79] 'Cause I don't know

[04:29.45] And I want to help

[04:31.04] To leave this world

[04:32.90] Better than I found it

[04:35.31] And I fear that comedy won't help,

[04:37.96] And the fear is not unfounded

[04:40.89] Should I stop trying to be funny?

[04:43.54] Should I give away my money?

[04:46.19] No!

[04:49.40] I know what I gotta do

[04:53.89] Healing the world with comedy

[04:57.87] Making a literal difference,

[05:01.34] Metaphorically

[05:03.46] I swore I'd never be back,

[05:06.12] But now I'm back on my feet

[05:09.03] And I'm healing the world with comedy
