What they don't want you to know v2 (Redacted Club Mix)
>I cut the violence content and the slogan based on feedback that the bit was over-indexed on goose-as-threat. The current version frames the geese as petty annoyances instead.
Does the parody target land more clearly?
Where does the bit lose energy?
I Also threw in a set up punch structure so I could immediately break it.
I cut about 65 words from the bit and rewrote some sections entirely.
Previous Version here.
I don't really talk about politics. You know? Except at work and Thanksgiving dinner.
But there's something the government doesn't want you to know. Illegal migrants are still crossing the border. And once they're here, they're federally protected. I don't see any of them here, so I'll just say it. I'm talking about Canadian geese.
Canada's worst ambassadors. Canadians are welcomed the world over. The geese? Not so much. You know what I have to deal with when these birds are "in town"? They don't care about anyone. Is this really the best time to have your 14 babies cross the road? And don't charge at me, pal — I'm just trying to get to my car.
Supposedly they migrate. So we call them snowbirds. Hey Canada — you know, we could let our snowbirds migrate too. Just Florida's drunkest old people up there, waddling around, blocking traffic, honking at everyone. I mean, at least our snowbirds shit where they're supposed to. In their pants. 'Merica.
Why did the goose cross the road? I don't fucking know. They have wings.
Look. I'm not a goose-ist. And I know what you're thinking, that I'm about to say the goosiest thing ever but I heard these Canadians don't even speak English.
And when Canada sends these birds, they're not sending their best. They're sending criminals. They're eating the dog and the cats... food. And they are absolutely shitting on everything.
And some, I assume, are good geese.
