He decided the audience would be laughing at this point if there were one.
This is, uh, that's how he's sitting in front of a green screen that looks like a red curtain.
He's sitting on a stool and he's got a microphone that's not plugged in to anything.
I think it's just like a room recording with a fake microphone.
It's a wireless mic.
Don't worry about it.
Perhaps.
He has an earpiece that you couldn't afford.
Don't worry about it.
Dude, he's got his little, like, police, uh, Photo, what do you call it, like official police photo in the bottom right corner?
The problem with black folks and the cops is there's never been much of a trust factor there.
That's rightfully so, cops.
You got to give us a break on this thing.
Cops are looking at black people says, man, it's I'd love to whoop his ass, but Jim, it's too goddamn expensive.
Lose my house, my pension, my paycheck and my wife.
What?
Yeah.
See, now we're getting some insight into the mindset of police.
I love this format, hearing a cop comedian, because you get to hear a cop tell what's going on, which is like, man, they want to beat up even more black guys, but it's too damn expensive.
No, I got it.
He's keeping it real.
I got to say something.
I'm the only one that can say this thing.
The thing about Officer Keep It Real is Officer Keep It Real looks very black.
It is unmistakably black.
There is no light-skinnedness about him.
He is never going to get misidentified as a non-black person.
This is not going to happen.
I want to get that right out of the way.
There is nothing... talk about him.
He's very black.
So for him to be saying this is funny because I think that my man was still, like, cucked.
I think my man was still, like, cucked by, like, a somehow blacker guy?
Like, maybe just by virtue of not being a cop.
Like, just by virtue of not being a cop.
You mean, like, actually romantically cucked?
Yeah, yeah.
Because he said, your wife is going to start fucking a black guy.
He said that right now.
Yeah, I was thinking he was maybe the dork in that meme where the chick chooses the hood guy over the dude in the tie and shit.
He has heavy nerd vibes, though, by the way.
You're totally right about that.
He's got like he's definitely a guy that is not cool.
And what that white person impression kind of rolled off the tongue, it seemed like.
You know what I thought?
You know what I thought was really is real interesting about that, too, is like, I don't think, and maybe I'm wrong, I don't think I've ever heard a black guy do the joke about white wives leaving for black men.
