White Guy Taxi Petition Punchline

Yellow Cab PETITION to make whiny congressmen play violent video games.

A passenger approaches a yellow taxi and asks the bald driver to sign a petition demanding that whiny congressmen play violent video games. When the driver says he is white, the passenger realizes he does not have to pay, then awkwardly leaves; the spoken racist punchline is delivered over a light musical track, making the sudden realization and uncomfortable silence feel absurd. The clip ends with a sunglasses filter and an extreme close-up of the driver’s deadpan face.

Hi. Hello. Would you please sign my petition? I'm white. Sorry? I'm white. Well, I guess I don't have to pay now. I'm not an African driver. Shit.
