Bill Burr's eye-opening take on why white people need lotion

[@jodynelson2055]

“I think one of the Jacksons, Tito, had a face lift.” Me: looks around the room. Michael literally transformed into a white alien, and Janet’s face is as tight as a trampoline, and we go with Tito. 🤣 PS: we don’t use lotion nearly as much as we should.

Mainly depends on climate, region, etc...most people who live with all 4 seasons definitely need lotion. Hot areas and humid places naturally don't since you sweat, oily, and etc...

[@dorkseid5874]

Love that you reacted to this one. So, let me present my bonafides here. I'm a white dude, living in Arkansas. My wife and I moved to a city called Pine Bluff years ago, the population split at the time was 96% black, 4% other. I was the minority of the other. Finding work was a job in itself initially, I finally landed a job at a Taco Bell (my wife worked for the school, which is what brought us there in the first place). I was the only non black person working in the restaurant for 2 years, and we had these locker cubbies for people to put their phones, clothes, purses, etc while on the job. And I noticed early on everybody had a bottle of lotion. Most had the exact same bottle actually. And my "learning" about lotion happened as a result. One of the girls asked me one day if she could touch my elbow, and I said sure. She did, then laughed and shouted "He's ashy as hell!" They all chipped in and bought me a bottle of Aveeno with Cocoa Butter and Aloe. That was 12-13 years ago. I'm not ashy anymore, and I miss the hell out of everyone there. And I agree with Bill on this one, we could all benefit from spending more time with other people.

Everytime I see the words cocoa butter I say it like Aaron Neville. Look it up and laugh your ass off.

[@treyhudson73]

@@OneSwankyTurtle Dang, did you just roast your own state? Awesome!!!

[@TGIFrank]

I agree that a little forced diversity is good for everyone. I grew up in a very white small Ohio town outside of Cincinnati and even when I lived downtown and had black neighbors for the first time it was easy to see them as out to get me. I had some great neighbors who tried to help me out when I started getting robbed but being in the only white guy in my neighborhood wasn't making my life any easier, nor would I expect it to. A few years later I enlisted in the Navy, and while that was a terrible decision of biblical proportions, the greatest thing about being enlisted in any branch is that most of the people you'll be working with on a daily basis are nonwhite and completely comfortable giving you a glimpse into their culture, upbringing, everything. Except for the air force, that is. I spent some time on an army base with a lot of air force guys and they're very much still holding it down for the whities of the world.

[@gatornation1209]

I am a 38 year old white man, lived in Florida my whole life, never used lotion ever. Hilarious. Please do more comedy reactions.

[@nullakjg767]

White people are generally built for cold/dry environments. I know people like to deny genetics but we mostly dont need it. The military has confirmed that people with ancestral heritage from tropical environments are much more likely to get frostbite.

[@welterw8ak702]

im 40 and from Wisconsin took me awhile but you almost have to use it in the winter or you do itch like crazy

[@welterw8ak702]

didn't use til my 30's it is a racially different thing. white guys just don't use, don't know why, oily skin maybe because I have tattoos everywhere and without lotion they look fine until winter.

[@adirondackmama7724]

I actually knew about lotion but I attribute that to my native American mom using it all the time. My stepmother laughed at me for all the lotion I used when I was a teen. My husband had no clue until we started dating. Now the whole family uses lotion.

[@michaelbanner5221]

This is so true! Im a massage therapist in Florida, so im well versed in lotion but 85% of my friends have zero knowledge or care about lotion and its bothersome.

“Every thirty five minutes sir! Every thirty five minutes.” Too quick! Too funny! Genius.

[@mcdoogles2495]

As a white guy, I can 100% relate to the ignorance of the magic of lotion. Literally, I thought getting itchy in winter after a shower meant my bath towels were dirty! Lol I was so glad to find out I wasn't the only one who thought that.

Thanks for this fun and informative reaction. Concerning Korean males, they are well known to take excellent care of their skin.
