Cracka - Mike Birbiglia

I wanted to be a rapper when i was a kid, it surprises people because I’m a

cracker.

I’m a cracker ass, white bread, honkey.

That’s right.

I like using the word, cracker a little in my act because a lot of black comics

use the «N» word, I like using the «C» word like;

Me and my Cracker friends were driving down the street in my

Volvo stationwagon and I said, «hey Cracka pass the Sunchips,» and he said, «Not 'till we get to the picknick Cracker,» and I say «Cracka please.»

and he’s like «Cracka whaaaaaaat?»

Well I said that at a show and a black guy comes up to me

and he’s like «My Cracker.»

and I was like «Actually you can’t call me a cracker.

Only we can call each other crackers.

You can say cracka, but not cracker.»

He was like, «it's ok i got white friends

and they’re cool with it, so I cooled down.»

I just like doing that voice like,

«me and my cracker friends» that’s like my white guy doing a black guy doing a

white guy voice.

Because a lot of black comics have the one white guy voice like, «this is rediculous.»

like we all talk like british detectives.

And I don’t know anyone who talks like that.

I feel bad for the one guy on earth who does talk like that, and he’s watching

those comics on T.

and he’s like, «This is proposterous!

That doesn’t sound like me at all!

Wait until I get my hands on that black fella, but first I’m gonna dance.»
