      I was also impressed by the audience reaction here.

      On the off chance you are serious, I will leave this here for reference from the wiki. (This was a quite clever joke IMO)
      "The Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise reached among state delegates during the 1787 United States Constitutional Convention. Whether, and if so, how, slaves would be counted when determining a state's total population for legislative representation and taxing purposes was important, as this population number would then be used to determine the number of seats that the state would have in the United States House of Representatives for the next ten years. The compromise solution was to count 3 out of every 5 slaves as a person for this purpose. Its effect was to give the southern states a third more seats in Congress and a third more electoral votes than if slaves had been ignored, but fewer than if slaves and free persons had been counted equally, thus allowing the slaveholder interests to largely dominate the government of the United States until 1861.[1] The compromise was proposed by delegates James Wilson and Roger Sherman."

    Here's something unusual in this day and age: I don't agree with all of Steve's takes and personal views expressed in this show. I do agree with some. Yet I still LOVED his show, and other bits he has done. I thumbs upped this video, and truly enjoyed watching it. I don't hate him or think he should be censored or banned. Different people have different views, it doesn't mean you have to hate them. We should all be glad be people are different... it staves off boredom and staleness. Awesome job Steve, I always find you entertaining and you make me laugh.

      I don’t think it’s unusual. I agree with most of his stances but some of them are so/so. Even so - I watch plenty of comedians with stances I disagree with and to be honest I think that’s good for you. It’s great to get to know other opinions from a comedic standpoint. Helps you to be less of a stick in the mud.
      I know my best friend is like this too. I think that a lot of reasonable people are! The difference is - we don’t usually talk about it. It’s the people with extreme opinions who shout, throw tantrums, and act offended by someone else’s attempts to provide entertainment to a diverse audience.
      Those people get noticed and they tend to start defining the way we think the average person behaves.
      I have argued enjoyably with plenty of liberals and conservatives on TH-cam...there have been maybe 5 people over the course of two years that I thought were totally unreasonable.
      The world is not made of unreasonable people. The world is made of diverse people with diverse opinions and perfectly good reasons for having them.
      The only reason we imagine people are unreasonable is because those kinds of people are what sells, and they are the ones screaming and scrambling for attention and validation from the rest of us.

      I felt the same way but I remember hearing someone else tell it. I don't remember who but it was almost word for word at some points. At first I thought what the fuck dude? You just ripped someone else's joke but then I realized that he had more to the joke than the other person had like when you retell a story of an event you heard about. It has less detail and loses some of the character. So one of two things happened, either someone I can't remember ripped his joke and didn't do it as well or he ripped someone's joke but did it better than they did and I can't say I'd mind if it was the latter.

The list goes on! but i think the main reason this one is my favorite is because the voices and the gestures just make certain jokes so much funnier! he does voices and gestures in other shows, but for some reason i just think the combination is absolute perfection in _this_ show 😂
