Comedian Doug Stanhope argues that overpopulation is a major environmental problem, mocking small eco-friendly habits in a provocative stand-up routine.
Show transcript0:00 The science behind climate change has been in the news again of late. 0:03 Here's US stand-up Doug Stanhope with his somewhat misanthropic and, dare I say, confrontational take on what American coverage of environmental issues isn't telling you. 0:18 I'm Doug Stanhope, and that's why I drink. Sometimes the American news is like a tired old whore that only tells you what you want to hear. 0:27 You watch stories every day about the environment and global warming, and they give you a thousand cute little tips on things you can do to help Mother Earth, when the major problem is obviously overpopulation. 0:39 That never comes up ever. Even Al Gore has to be pressed on the issue to admit that it's even a problem, and he'll go, yeah, yeah, well, yeah, of course, uh, yeah, overpopulation is a really big problem, 0:50 but that's going to correct itself. And, uh, yeah, by 2050, he says, I guess fucking will go out of style. 0:56 It's just a passing fad, this desire to procreate. The news knows you don't want to hear that. 1:03 The news has no problem telling you how to save the Earth by cutting up your six-pack holders before you throw them away so you don't strangle a dolphin when all that shit gets flushed out to sea, 1:13 and that's fine. And turn off the, the water while you brush your teeth, and you go, I'll do that. 1:18 They can't say, oh, and don't fuck in the front hole, because that glut of humanity you're creating is the real problem behind this. 1:25 Nobody wants to hear, don't fuck in the front hole after a hard day at work. 1:29 An Oregon State study just came out that shows that a woman who already recycles at her optimum will still increase her carbon footprint 40 times by just having 2 children. 1:43 The next time you see a hybrid car with a baby seat in the back, smash the windows out of that car Fight Club style, steal the baby seat, leave a condom where the baby seat sat, and see if you send a message. 1:57 Because that is every sanctimonious douchebag who pretends to be part of the solution when they're the exact problem that they pretend to be fighting against. 2:06 Your combined uteri wreak more havoc to the environment than a thousand Dow Chemical Corporation accidents combined. 2:15 You don't have the baby, you could drive an entire fleet of Hummers to and from work every day, hanging your ass out the window and farting styrofoam packing peanuts into the atmosphere and still not cause a fraction of the damage that one stupid baby causes to this planet. 2:35 If you want to help Mother Earth, try sodomy. Sodomy is eco-friendly, and abortion is green.
