TDS Time Machine | Best of Lewis Black in 2024

Finally! Every time I'm watching a World War II film, I'm thinking, boy, these Gestapo could use some diversity. I mean, why are you trying to show me a black Nazi? Kanye wasn't alive back then. And I love the idea of a black George Washington. Imagine a man who's both the slave and the slave owner. I'm working on the screenplay now, and it's screaming Oscar.

And Pacino better remember my f***ing name. Old people suck. I know, I know. Lin-Manuel Miranda already gave us a black George Washington, so maybe it's time for something new. Like, how about George Washington as a centaur? You're probably thinking, well, so what if AI can't remember the past? Well, don't worry. It's so woke, it'll also destroy the future.

What the are we doing? If we need to ask AI to decide between pronouns and a nuclear holocaust, then bring on the nuclear holocaust. So now AI needs to be de-woked. But where are we going to find a big enough douchebag to rein it back in?

Oh, goody! Elon Musk is here to save us! If there's anyone who can help, it's the guy who invented cars that blow up! Let's see how Grok handled those spicy questions.

Well, nice job, Grok. Now you'll never be on Joe Rogan. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm starting to feel bad for AI. We just brought it into existence and we're already putting our hangups about race and gender on it. It barely knows how hands work. What the is that? Did someone slip LSD into my pastrami? There's an easy solution here. Train the next AI to act more like me.

That way, when you try to give it some bullshit assignment, it'll always give you the correct answer, which is go f*** yourself. Now, that's what I call progress. Progress. Cars used to be a way to let people know you were cool, or in the case of your friend's dad, to let people know you were having a midlife crisis. And in recent years, one of the coolest cars you could buy was the Tesla.

Not only was it a status symbol, but it was electric. It was like a compost bin that you could drink and drive in. LAUGHTER For a while, Tesla's stock price was skyrocketing, but now it's sliding down like half of Mitch McConnell's face.

Holy shit. Down 40%. The only thing worth less than Tesla stock is a fully grown adult at P. Diddy's house. Stop it. That's the least of the problems. But don't worry, Tesla owner. Elon Musk has a perfectly reasonable, dumb as fuck explanation for this.

Sorry, Elon, my mistake. All this time I thought your company that sold cars was a car company. God, one of us must be a real f***ing idiot. So Tesla's clearly in the shitter, and the thing that was supposed to save it was the Cybertruck, a vehicle that looks like what happens when you inbreed DeLoreans. But unfortunately, the Cybertruck appears to be cyber .

Well, remember, it's not a car crash. It's an AI crash. Open your mind, man. Seriously, though, you recalled all of them? None were okay? Even with the Baldwin's, they made one good one. I'm not going to say which one. I don't want to get shot. And this is just the... And this is just the latest problem with RoboCop's f***ing wagon, because that thing's been shitting the bed since day one.
