Firstly, Let Me State That I'm Not

Firstly, let me state that I'm not a pedophile. But

A minimalist video shows a white text panel on a black background, with the sentence slowly appearing: “Firstly, let me state that I'm not a pedophile. But”. The joke is the ominous unfinished “But,” which implies an absurdly suspicious continuation, made more dramatic by Ennio Morricone’s grand western music from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. It works as a reaction to situations where someone begins an obviously incriminating disclaimer.
