Yeah, i took a Statistics class back in uni. In the introduction of the text book, the author quoted: “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.”
RE car accidents: I heard a similar one: 90% of auto accidents (or whatever number) occur within 5 miles of home and at speeds under 50 mph. Therefore, logical conclusion, never drive less than 50 mph when within 5 miles of home.
The first thing they tell you in Business Statistics 101 is that facts can be manipulated. It's why I like to rely on raw data when possible. LOVE the voter lottery idea.
That bit about height and weight has some truth to it, though. When I was younger, I was 3" taller than I am now. If I still had that height, I'd be far less overweight than I am now. Wouldn't really help the deteriorated vertebrae and discs, but, oh, well...
I teach Grade 9-12 Math and at least two of my classes have sections on "how to lie with graphs". Even better, you can manipulate people, then graph it and make the lie even worse. My math 9's do this every year.
Actually, parking 1 mile from your home, and walking the rest of the way is a very good idea. It reduces the chance that you'll end up being underheight.
He didn't actually say 146 million tickets were sold, just that 146 million people bought tickets, which was 10 million more than went to vote. No mention of the amount of tickets right?
@@dj93888 One vote =one person, with very rare exceptions. But when tickets are purchased, how it it ever possible to know how many people bought them? We can know how many tickets are purchased, for sure. Please explain how you can tell how many actual persons bought tickets? You are not limited to one ticket, and you don't have to show ID. So, I would be fascinated to know your explanation, because your math ain't mathing.
95% of car accidents happen within 1 mile of your home is so true holy crap. My only car accident so far was when I was sideswiped 1 mile from my home.🤔🙄🤣
About the women dating ugly men who have a sense of humor, it can go the other way, too. In college, mom had a bad week and looked like hell. Hair unwashed, no make-up, grunge outfit, etc. Dragged herself to the dining hall. A guy sat down across from her and they got to talking. She made him laugh so many times he asked her on a date. Of course, by that evening, she'd gotten over whatever had worn her down. Dolled herself up, etc. The guy answers the door and says something like "Wow! You're beautiful, too?" Lol. (No, he's not my dad. Still a good story anyway).
I know it was a joke, but the Divorce one is flawed in another way. That 44% takes into account the people who get married, 2, 3,4+ times and repeatedly divorce. Which naturally brings up the number of divorces.
If you like stats another really great comedian is Robert Mac. The first joke is actually pretty darn close to a joke Robert tells in his Drybar special from a while back.
My wife always stated she chose me for my looks. She also makes a point that I don't really need to crack jokes when we're together. In fact, she prefers that I don't talk at all. Men, look for the woman who thinks you're ugly but loves your personality!
The thing about giving a random voter a billion dollars is that there's gonna be a lot of people who'll just punt their vote on some random person who won't win ...which will increase voter percentages for third-party candidates maybe this really is genius
On the flip side, I fell for and asked a girl out not because she was "hot" (certainly not ugly, but nowhere near a supermodel either), but because I thought she thought I was funny. (Turned out she didn't and had absolutely no attraction to me whatsoever.)
The statistic stating: 33% of women don't mind dating ugly men so long as they are funny, TO ME does not show that ALL women aren't shallow, because it only means 67% of women will not prefer ugly but funny men. As an ugly man, I do not like my chances. 😂
0:24 "Therefore statistically, it cannot be argued, 1 out of ever 5 babies born on Earth are Chinese" I'm all for jokes misusing statistics, but this first one was too logically flawed (the rest were fine). Stating that 1/5 people on Earth are Chinese does not mean that 1/5 babies born on Earth are Chinese unless the Chinese birthrate is equal to the average of the rest of the world. (Quick google check) Yep, China's birthrate is barely half of the world average, so it can definitely be argued. Also, I think the punchline would have been funnier if phrased as an actual statical statement like "there's a 20% chance your 5th will be Chinese," rather than "your 5th will be Chinese"
If you were going to say 20% chance, it'd be a straight "There's a 20% chance your child will be Chinese." No need to specify the 5th child as the 20% is overall.
@@MrBrock314 Yeah, I was wishing he would have put it like that instead. The first one was just statistically wrong, but he isn't a statistics guy, he's a comic.... most people laughed so they don't know statistics either lmao.
Andrew, misinformation implies that you are a God and know all the answers and don't accept any decent in opinion other than what you beleave to be correct. This is why we have the first amendment...we need to hear all voices and be able to make our own judgments.
Some version of that "VOTER LOTTERY" joke could actually work! Since low voter turnout has been a problem for a while, there must be some way for all of the state lotteries to get together to make this work. (Getting rich is WAAAAAY more important than the next president. Right?)

@@siblinghoodsys Way underrated.
The funny thing is, you answering "maybe" means it did help, whereas if you had said "yes" that would've meant that it maybe helped.

Parking a mile away from home and walking the rest of the way would help with the underheight problem as well.
But increases your odds of being hit by a car while walking.
So true! I always tell my friends to exercise more if they want to grow taller.
I almost went into the field of statistics, and he's absolutely correct. You can make statistics say just about anything you want.
93% of all statistics are made up.

Parking 1 mile from your home and walking the rest of the way has also been shown to decrease the risk of heart-attack and stroke.

How's your humor? If you're fun at parties, that still leaves one woman out of every three as a potential candidate.
He's been doing this since the 90s, I'd say he's had practice.
