A VERY GOOD USE OF YOUR TIME.

The setup

A self-appointed street mentor keeps lecturing young men about breaking stereotypes until an even older man gives him the same speech.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

A bespectacled man in a flat cap drifts up to groups of young men, chuckling knowingly as he warns them not to repeat the mistakes of his own wild youth. Every sermon misfires: the teens he scolds are being paid by Mr. Shin to unload boxes, the pair in loud outfits are hired birthday clowns, and the street robbery he steps into is Sensei Doug Duggart demonstrating an attack for his paid self-defense class. Then a much older man in near-identical clothes strolls over with the very same routine, tells him to quit being so preachy, and settles their argument with an absurd claim about his age.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

We were only perpetuating the stereotype the system already assumes about us.

You older brothers need to break the stereotype and stop being so preachy.

I'm nine years old. I got Benjamin Button's disease.

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

The clip joins the sketch's two parts, which aired separately in the episode; the second part features Leslie David Baker, Stanley on The Office, as the even older lecturer.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
