Tom Lehrer performs his satirical song "National Brotherhood Week" with a spoken intro. The song mocks superficial displays of tolerance while prejudices between groups carry on.

Mostly quoted or linked as a witty example of Lehrer's satire, often as a joke in unrelated threads.

National brotherhood week is a good example: ▶ this video You don't need to know any history, but it probably helps if you went to a public school or had siblings.

"My computer is more powerful than your console, so that means it's more fun! Can't you see that I'm having more fun than you?!? Hey! Stop having fun right now!" Yeah, shitty PC ports of console games are a problem, I'll totally agree with that. Of course, they're also a tiny percentage of all PC games. It's not like there's not other stuff for you to play. And whose fault is it that there are shitty PC ports? Well, the publishers looking for a quick buck--oh no, silly me, it's the console gamers ! Their gamepad-clutching fingers are pulling the strings of a Machiavellian global network designed expressly to ruin your fun! Jesus Christ. The Xbox fans hate the Sony fans, and the Windows fans hate the Apple fans, and the PC fans hate the console fans, oh, the black folks hate the white folks, and the white folks hate the black folks, all of my folks hate all of your folks, it's American as apple pie. ▶ this video There's gotta be someone I can blame for my burnt toast and my broken shoelace. Get your shit together and get worked up about something that matters. And in the mean time, play some games, have fun, and stop stressing so much!
