into three main categories:

there's mostly wonderful people,

00:45
(Laughter)

(ืฆื—ื•ืง)
00:47
Besides Florida, the most troubling category here are the Haters.

They are a minority,
18
50669
2189
ื”ื ืžื”ื•ื•ื™ื ืžื™ืขื•ื˜,
00:52
but they overcompensate by being extra loud.

As a social justice comedian,

ื›ืงื•ืžื™ืงืื™ืช ืœืžืขืŸ ืฆื“ืง ื—ื‘ืจืชื™,
01:01
it's my goal to convert these haters,
23

ื”ืžื˜ืจื” ืฉืœื™ ื”ื™ื ืœืฉื ื•ืช ืืช ื”ืฉื•ื ืื™ื ื”ืืœื”,
01:03
because they hate a lot of things, which leads to negative outcomes,
24

ื›ื™ ื”ื ืฉื•ื ืื™ื ื”ืžื•ืŸ ื“ื‘ืจื™ื, ื•ื–ื” ืžื‘ื™ื ืœืชื•ืฆืื•ืช ืฉืœื™ืœื™ื•ืช,

01:07
like racism, violence and Ted Nugent.

This is not an exhaustive list;
26

1882
ื”ืจืฉื™ืžื” ืื™ื ื” ืžืœืื”;
01:13
I'm probably missing 3-7 items.

ืกื‘ื™ืจ ืฉื”ื—ืžืฆืชื™ 3-7 ืกืขื™ืคื™ื.
ืื‘ืœ ื”ื ืงื•ื“ื” ื”ื™ื
01:15
But the point is,
28
75004
1222
01:16
we have to reckon with the haters.
29
76250
1729
ืฉืขืœื™ื ื• ืœื˜ืคืœ ื‘ืฉื•ื ืื™ื.
ืื‘ืœ ื™ืฉ ื‘ื™ื ื™ื”ื ื›ืœ ืžื™ื ื™ ืื ืฉื™ื
01:18
But there's variance within this group
30
78003
1811
01:19
and it's not efficient to go after all of them, right?
31
79838
3021
ื•ืœื ื™ืขื™ืœ ืœืจื“ื•ืฃ ืื—ืจื™ ื›ื•ืœื, ื ื›ื•ืŸ?
01:22
So what I've done is created a highly scientific Taxonomy of Haters.
32

01:26
I basically took all of the haters,

1723
ืขืงืจื•ื ื™ืช, ืœืงื—ืชื™ ืืช ื›ืœ ื”ืฉื•ื ืื™ื,
01:28
I put them in a petri dish, like a scientist,

01:31
and this is what I found.

(ืฆื—ื•ืง)

01:38
They're the people who quit their jobs

ืืœื” ืื ืฉื™ื ืฉืžืชืคื˜ืจื™ื ืžื”ืขื‘ื•ื“ื”

01:40
so they can post on YouTube videos all day long.
40

01:43
There's also the drive-by haters.

ื™ืฉื ื ื’ื ื”ืฉื•ื ืื™ื ื”ืื—ื•ื–ื™ื ื‘ื”ื’ื”:

ืืœื” ืื ืฉื™ื ืฉืขื•ืžื“ื™ื ื‘ืจืžื–ื•ืจ,
01:48
they'll wait for the light to turn green

1969
ืžื—ื›ื™ื ืฉื”ืื•ืจ ื™ืชื—ืœืฃ ืœื™ืจื•ืง
01:50
and when it does, they yell, "Go back to your own country!"
44

ื•ืื– ื”ื ืฆื•ืจื—ื™ื: "ืชื—ื–ืจื™ ืœืืจืฅ ืฉืœืš!"

Now back in the day, they would've actually gotten out of their cars

ื•ืœืฉื ื•ื ืืชื›ื ื‘ืคืจืฆื•ืฃ.
01:56
and hated you to your face.
46

But they just don't make them like they used to --

The next category

02:30
who move from hating to not hating.
60
150154

And they do it because they don't have enough information.

Why comedy?
63

ืžื“ื•ืข ืงื•ืžื“ื™ื”?

2529
ื›ื™ ื‘ื™ืŸ ืงื•ืžื“ื™ื” ืœืคื™ื–ื•ืจ ืขืœื•ื ื™ื,

(Laughter)
71

02:54
Now, the question is:
72
174311
1185
ื”ืฉืืœื” ื”ื™ื:
02:55
Why does social justice comedy work?

ื•ื‘ืื•ืชื• ืจื’ืข ืฉืœ ืคืชื™ื—ื•ืช,
