Argument 1 - 'I was a poor, *white* kid who dumpster dove.' Note that what is not a part of this story is being arrested by police for dumpster diving. Corolla's ignorance of his privilege to do things black kids would be arrested for is glaring. (Also, I know privileged-ass rich kids who went dumpster diving for the fun of it, it's not the poverty flag Corolla thinks it is.) Argument 2 - 'When a cop pulls me over, I think it's because I did something wrong or because they are a jerk.' Adam again is either entirely ignorant or is misportraying what black people have said over and over again, that when they are pulled over, they are thinking, "This could be where I die." Corolla fails even the most basic understanding of what it is like to not have his privilege of safety and support by the institution. Argument 3 - 'My neighbor called the cops on me, a white guy.' Yeah, because you screwed up your neighbor's phone lines. Notice Corolla doesn't say he apologized, or how that phone call went after they realized what had happened; it's not a stretch to think Corolla's response was a privileged "sucks to be you" or "sue me" and that's why they neighbor, seeing no alternative, called the police to intervene. People have been *mean* to him all of his life, coincidentally the people like a construction boss or program director that are in charge of making sure he does his job decently, but it can't be that he's a screw-up, it's that *they* are a-holes. Corolla seems to miss or misuse the fact that his level of privilege lets him make claims like this noone that could dispute him has the power and privilege to do so. Argument 4 - 'Noone should be tracking other people's privilege. Who cares?' Not having to care is the core of privilege, being able to conduct your life without having to be forced to confront the abuses of the system that maintains that privilege. Argument 5 - 'This is America, you make your own breaks.' This is ridiculously untrue, particularly in the comedy industry where your *breaks* are created by the club owners, agents and media owners who decide to offer you an opportunity. Corolla is the poster child of low-talent hacks who succeeded by pandering soft-core porn, misogyny and hate speech to rich elites who saw profit in it. Argument 6 - 'Privilege is absolute.' Going rapidly downhill here. The idea that you can't have privilege if someone else has more than you is so childish it's not worth the time to discuss. And that's really the rest of it. I think 'What's Therapy?' makes a good point here that Corolla spends this entire exercise in his own head without ever pointing to any objective reality to ground his judgements outside his own subjective interpretations of his experiences.

Adam Corolla seems like he really wants you to think he identifies with the working class but is so incredibly out of touch that’s it’s literally the funniest thing about him.

if people weren't told corolla was a comedian, they wouldn't know it.

5 Real Privileges: -Able Bodied Privilege (Non Disabled.) -Environmental Privilege (Well Advanced Technological Clean Healthy Land.) -Good Genes Privilege (Age, Ancestry, Beauty, Full Healthy Limbs, Hair, Health, Intelligent Brain, Physical Strength, Skin, & Stable Children.) -Rich Privilege (Non Poor.) -Two Parent Loving Family Privilege (Non Orphan.)

Excellent video, can’t believe that MLK joke Corolla tried to make. Side note: that Dali painting on your wall is one of my favorites.

Excellent video and channel overall.

I’m curious about the animation being “offensively bad”... in what way? The way it’s talking down w visual language like they talk down verbally to people like you and me who know so so much more about complex systems while they smirk, self-satisfied, give a talking point we could dissect and dissemble in a second, drop the mic. Is that what your implying they’re doing with their animation? You kinda glossed over that, but I’m very interested in people analyzing the nonverbal stuff in prager u vids. Thoughts, therapy dude buddy?

adam corolla is a coward who i do not want teaching my kids

The stance that it's neutral is a good point. I think it highlights a core issue that focusing of privilege is ignoring that other people are at a disadvantage. Focusing on the privilege is getting upset at the group for not being affected by the group(police, policymakers, etc) that should be the focus. That was my uneducated and uncultured take

They stole kurzgesagt's animation style
