In season 1 of Lewis Black's Root of All Evil, episode 4 titled "You Tube vs. Porn," the comedian and host tackles the explosive feud between two of the internet's most popular destinations: YouTube and porn.
Lewis Black argues that YouTube and porn draw comparable amounts of viewership and are both significant cultural phenomena that have vastly impacted our lives. He questions whether or not these two platforms are more different than we believe, ultimately exploring the ways in which they intersect and intertwine.
The episode opens with Black comparing YouTube and Porn. He points out that both are easily accessible, user-friendly, and offer a wide range of content catered to personal tastes. Black then shifts the focus of the episode by introducing two comedians who will argue on behalf of YouTube and Porn.
In one corner, the comedian representing YouTube argues the platform offers users the opportunity to create and share original content, making it a unique and valuable aspect of the internet. On the other hand, the comedian representing Porn contends that its offerings, while controversial, have the power to spark new and exciting conversations about sex and sexuality.
Throughout the episode, Black moderates the debate as the comedians present their arguments. He also provides his own take along the way, poking fun at both YouTube and Porn while highlighting the absurdity of their feud and acknowledging the impact they have on our everyday lives.
Along the way, viewers are treated to a series of clips showcasing the most hilarious and outrageous moments from both platforms. From viral videos to the latest sex scandals, Black and the comedians dissect the ins and outs of both sites, highlighting the good, bad, and ugly of their content.
As the episode nears its end, Black reveals which platform he believes should emerge victorious in the battle between YouTube and Porn. Whether or not his decision will satisfy viewers or leave them heatedly debating the merits of both sites remains to be seen. However, there is no doubt that Lewis Black's Root of All Evil will make viewers question their own relationship with both YouTube and Porn.
