"Most people don't do the right things for the right reasons, they do the right things for the right price" He dropping facts👌
Honestly
As soon as I read this comment he said that.
This man is so funny and accurate at the same time ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I swear I get more life skills and truth from comedians than I do from any media, politician, or TV. They truly are the only unfiltered voice at this point.
@@sonofthesun2297 facts 💯
Roy Wood Jr. is an underrated legend. Hilarious, insightful, observational, a great storyteller, and charisma. Glad he's starting to get his credit.
this guy's perspective is VALUABLE
He maybe this generations Dick Gregory, in the comedian sense. Dont know how much political and activist work Roy does. All I can say is he's a great one. We need more like him.
- Random White Guy.
Me too. He’s been brilliant for a while and I’m glad my UA-cam algorithm is firing him up for me daily. I just love him.
I told him to Run For Office!
What could be better?
"I was at Red Lobster minding my own business"
IM DEADD💀
Angela The Internet Scout wait did he just say Africa is red lobster
Vanquish Audio because at red lobster you feel "at home" *mic drop*
go back to your Red Lobster then, nobody is holding you
America is Red Lobster Africa is Denny's for sure
Human Being You look exactly like the type of person to say that
"Fraternity is a substitute for currency", I love smart comedians.
is not.
@@xhuga2 yes, he said "...is not..."
Who’s a dumb comedian?
The realest ish right there.
@@chakakhan9700 He said: the people in low-paid jobs are treated like "fraternity is a replacement for currency." Then he said: "It ain't."
That dude that stood up at 0:19 and started swinging 😂
🤣
Cuz felt all dat
He felt that line in his soul lol
Right🤣😂
He's in a sore place with his management at work.
Roy is lowkey one of the best in the game
So true!! He only appeared on my radar beginning of this year. Now I stop when I see him and he never disappoints.
Such a great story teller
High key frfr
No cap
*highkey
"a forty year old eight grader" lmao 😂😂😂
People can't handle Roy. The man just dropping facts
Comedian facts. Lol
I think he’s Dave Chappelle level right now
Roy is trending upwards right now and there is no stopping him. And he doesn’t laugh at his own jokes.book Roy for sure
Spittin'👏🏾 FACTS 💯
0:18 Why when a stand up comedian drops a bomb truth related to racism there's always one black guy in the audience that stands up and start to clap and scream ? It's as if he was trying to find the words his entire life but couldn't until that moment when the comedian said it.
Some people just speak ya mind when you don't know it.😂😂
He probably was.
People only listen to the person/people in the spotlight/the star of the show. Have you ever watched a movie and only paid attention to the extras in the background? That guy is an extra in the show called life and Roy just told his story.
🤣🤣🤣Saw that!!🤣🤣
exactly right.
But can we seriously talk about that snitch fund!
Hell yeah!!
Bro seriously that could save lives and get corrupted cops in jail where they need to be
or we could give that money directly to poor people so they have enough money to get by and don't feel the need to commit crimes in the first place
@@willd6231 really not what this is about.
this is What makes you think poor people commit crimes more than others?
Yo this is so enlightening. It’s educated comedy that, if actually listened to, would help society as a whole. I love this guy
Unfortunately the ZIOMAFIA SATANISTS TERRORIST we have in charge doesnt want poor sheeples to have better of anything. All the right solutions are known.
SAME!! I love his comedy!
There are two types of replies
I lost it at “I was at red lobster minding my business” that’s exactly what we be doing and getting in trouble 😂😂
@@Ricoknows Exactly😂😂😩
@Tony's Dynasty eloquently put.. props bru
"They make you think that fraternity is a substitute for currency, and it ain't." Roy Wood Junior
THE VERY TRUEST THING. For all 'clubs', actually. George Carlin talked about joining groups, and then having a uniform, and then stopping to think. Man was a genius, and Roy Wood, Jr. is speaking the same truth to a different crowd.
The THEY is the ones with the money, the power, and the ability to divide the have-nots. Always has been, always will be.
Truth.
This hit different when you're currently experiencing history...
♥️ I’m with you,,, you’reason
What can one say? Im sorry. Much love. Be safe
Nah, that was happening for years
Yeh we rioting alright . Wishes do come true lol
@@unitedstatescitizen1035
“Arrest me too, Sanchez!” Lmao
I got that part on REPEAT!! 😂💀
"We got to go down" 😂😭🤣
Martin Luther Comedian
😂😂💯
5 thumbs up for ur comment from me, frt
Exactly 😂
Am I the only one watching this in June 2020 thinking he's of course he's funny but the subject has become very dark. When the racial bias of the police is so engrained that the comedy is instantly recognisable to black people we have to do something.
Who is watching this now? He knows how to speak the truth with comedy! American equality... "some of us need to speak to the manager" ... Till we get police reform, gonna wear cap and gown
“Y’all better riot for me!!”
I thought he said "ride for me" but riot makes sense too I guess
"Control the narrative." 🤣🤣🤣
Man is spitting THE TRUTH
Miles Bairely-Ujueta Africans use tires to burn people...not to travel. Hmm
"I was at Red Lobster minding my business. Ya'll brought us to Appleby's." HA!!
That guy in the front when he says "some of us need to speak to a manager" is living his best life.
When I was 15 , I was walking from my grandma house with my father on a Sunday. she me a few dollars for school.
This cops saw us and from the other side of the road called us over asked me for ID .Wanted to know where I came from and where I was going .
I was a minor with my parent . The officer completely disregarded my father and spoke to me like an adult criminal.
If I wasn't with him I would have to explain the few dollars in my pocket .
If it was only that one singular occurrence, one could shrug it off but imagine(which I know must have happened to you) being approached like a lion vs prey situation over and over. It gets exhausting and quite frankly sometimes you just want to break someone's face if you could.
@@zionakinjide650 so many instances. And the profiling is entirely disrespectful. They want you to react to give them a reason .
I don't have any right but to the right to comply .
Your cop's are pig's,
There's a video here somewhere of pig's training in piggy School using Black Men's faces as Target! I would never come to America on the fact I smoke Dak, I would get what 15 year's if busted? Yeah na I'll stick with our Cops who mostly are sweet 👍Be safe x
One time is all it takes. PTSD is what many of us have living in the country, being on the receiving end of the bs.
😳🥺
UA-cam needs a new category: Tragically Funny.
“Fraternity is a substitute for currency but it ain’t!” This quote is on the level of Dave Chapelle! Facts Roy!
This guy reminds me of Chapelle, talking about important stuff in a funny way, AND offering a solution
@goggles789 No one said it had to be a good solution.
except this guy isn't a fucking scumbag.
some of his deliveries remind me of Katt Williams. Yeah, hes great!
I'll say it. I find Roy better than Chappelle. Chappelle ain't been funny in years.
True true story- Years ago I would call the police to protect myself from the police here in Chicago. Would walk out get stopped and get to hear the call come over CPD radio to let me go
Damn forreal? :(
How often would you call?
"Uh yeah, hi, 911... There is a supicious car parked outside of my house. Some guy in it... Keeps staring at my windows and writing stuff down. Please send a car!" on they ASS sititing outside the spot
john krats oh look we found the white guy
@john krats l get told the same thing at the Serengeti Game park. These are wild animals...they only attack when they are provoked they say...so l guess you are right.
john krats you are either ignorant, or you’re trolling
LOL. "Some of us need to speak to a manager." LOL.
Love the backdrop. It reminds me of The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh.
LOL I heard not a single lie in this hahaha
This dude is the funniest comedian I've seen on TV in entirely too long.
100k to snitch makes all the sense! That is great
too much
but the concept is lit
You know what, his argument for snitch funds made me think twice about defunding the police 🤔
If we get fewer police officers using less military equipment, then I won't mind if the ones who remain get paid more, especially if they get better training too. But the overall budget would still be cut.
Toby Bartels Exactly what I was going to clarify! Let’s not be fooled by the straw man melodrama ads by our oh-so-credible president. They have no recourse but to claim that defunding the police is something it’s not!
Give this man his own show dammit
I’m so thankful for people like Roy who use their platform to shine light on the darkest moments on this country’s history ✊🏿💙
I love his style -warm, incisive and very funny
The police get called on you while you’re eating ice cream in your old home!
You mean as opposed to my new home?
It makes sense now after the death of George Floyd 😭😭
Shoulda been made sense. I know I'm supposed to be glad you're finally here but... damn.
@@Kumikoete 💗 what you said. I feel the same way when people - especially our people - just start to pay attention to what's been going on since we were kidnapped & brought here.
This aged amazing. Especially after the riots around the world.
I feel like a dick saying this, but my high school buddy got killed in his cap and gown after our graduation. In a parking lot, outside a restaurant. I know you're crafting these jokes to make us feel better, but nothing can really keep us safe.
Killed by who? 😎
@@mariusmartinsen2064 why the emoji though
Can't make everyone happy.. grain of salt
Facts, the medical field can be incredibly competitive at times.
My Dad was a contractor. We used to work in towns where the police would stop is constantly going to work. So much so we added it to the contact that the clients had to call the local police department to tell them that we were working at their house. It was insane!!!
Thats terrible
Honestly my dad does construction and one time when he talked to this guy over the phone arranging everything and when he met the guy he was gonna work with ( i don't remember what he had to do ) he said "I didn't know you were colored" and my dad was just like "yupp" and he did the job but never did anything with him again
I know I know- it's hard for folks to wrap theirs heads around it.
This why i love this dude, he showed he knows what to be happy for someone is .... Cap and gown, "seeing that makes him happy!" He feels joy for people....
I'm brown, born and raised in the Midwest. I've been living in Europe for the last 10 years. Never once did I experience racism and racial profiling in Europe. Back home on the other hand in 2017. I walked to Walmart. Police stopped me asking for an ID. Arrived at Walmart after paying. The guy at the door asked for the receipt but not the white people that walked passed us. Went to the gas station my EU credit card got denied. The bitch at the counter looked at me like a stole it. Yeah! I'd like to see the manager please.
theres definitely racism in europe. but its much more subtle and behind closed doors.
Lmao "I saw what you did Sanchez"😂😂😂
‘Put your hands up, Sanchez’ !!
Had me wheezing 💀
Just seeing this. This hit home for me as I've called the police on myself when someone else called them on me. That made things go in my favor. A Joke conjured from real experience.
I love this guy!!!
"They make you think that fraternity is a substitute for currency, and it ain't." Roy Wood Junior
That's true of any club, including Q-Anon.
Arresting each other at role call! 🤣
"You ain't gon sweep me under the rug"😂😂😂👌🏾
Fraternity is a substitute for currency, very interesting points.
“Y’all better riot my ass”. Oh if he only knew. 😂

This guy is speaking facts for the things going on rn
The black dude that stood up at 0:20 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"I was at Red Lobster minding my business, you all brought us to Applebee's". Funniest comparison I have ever heard. I died 😆 🤣 😂
Roy wood Jr for president 😎😁😁
The epidemic of Cathy's and Nancy's in America is at an all time high.
I swear I searched for every Roy Wood Jr. video a few months ago. Why'd you hold out on me, UA-cam?
But the fit tho 🔥🔥
His shoes are cute asf!!!!
So underrated.. that’s why he is still grounded
"Arrest me too Sanchez" 😂
Roy speaking facts. Even more relevant in this very moment
Is it actually this bad in the US for black people ?
Wait for it yes and no
Wait for it there are too many instances with racist cops in the US but theres just as many where a cop either kills someone who deserves it or makes an honest mistake and is deemed a racist
YES! You never had a cop put his hand on his gun when he sees you? If you're a black man you most likely have. Mr n my friend got pulled over the other night he was driving. I was scared to move in the passenger seat for the whole 20 mins we sat there getting checked. Dudes partner had his hand on his gun watching me the whole time OVER A FUCKING EXPIRED TAG!
Wait for it It's worse than bad,no place is safe.
Yes. Its disgusting. Its become an epidemic.
His metaphors are on the point 😅😂. This dude is really hilarious and underrated 👏🏼
I was laughing, but honestly he started saying some real talk. Especially with the "fraternity" ploys. Good stuff Roy!
This actually made me smarter and a better person. Mr.Wood is the goat
"We got too go down" ☠☠☠
Im dying 😭😭😭
"Ain't no emergency just a smooooth motha f#$ker here at the Walgreens" AAAHHHHHH!!!🔥💯🖖🏽🔥💯🖖🏽
Hilarious AND he's spitting straight facts. Honestly one of my favorite sets ever. Go off Roy!!
Guess I was under a rock cause I've never heard of Roy Wood, he's pretty good. I'll definitely be checking out his material.
Fraternity/Currency That's a bar!
This is my second set I’m seeing of his & I’m officially a fan .. & It takes WAY more than two sets to convince me 😂😂
HIS SHOES ARE AMAZING DAMN ROY
4:00 "Here's the thing, we luhhh to at lite". funniest part of the whole thing to me.
He had me at the first bit😂😂😂
How am I just now finding this guy?! Hilarious
True talk
Roy Wood, Jr. you are the greatest.
This dude is right on the money...literally Brilliant, absolutely brilliant 👍🇬🇧
That dude standing up at 0:16 to wave his arms in empassioned agreement was the best moment of the video. :)
Don't know how Applebee's is still in business... I think I've been there 4 times and everytime I say "maybe it'll be better this time"... Nope.
Applebee's was str8 in the 99 2000s
Best set ever !!!!! Please run for office!!!!!
when stand up comedians have better takes on police reform than most politicians
"that nigga chopped off the leg." brilliant way to end the video XD
1 of the greatest under rated comedians of our time!👍👏 👏 👍
Dude! Ur Hysterical!!
Ever since I found you while listening to Dan Soder, u became my Fav Go-To Comedian. When I listen in the morning, I’m LMAO & proceed thru the day wa smile on my face, tears in my eyes & a Great outlook!
You Are A Gift to the World!
Blessings
Most cops make 56-75k a year and those are the ones that aren't CSI's, Forensic Investigators, SWAT, and Detectives, which get paid so much more. Cops are paid just fine, they don't need anymore money.
Firefighters on the other hand. Now that's a different discussion.
Come on man, at least post some statistics or your source for some reading material. Looks like that salary range is a bit high for a basic cop. Still, 50k range isn't bad for high end. Here ya go: www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/What-Is-the-Average-Police-Officer-Salary-by-State
