Today, we're at the staten island ferry Trying to get people to join our protest.

But we don't know what we're protesting Because the signs have been made by the other guys.

The goal is to get a stranger to grab a sign And join your ridiculous protest.

Your line, sal.

What are you, protesting?

[ laughs ]

Narrator: It's joe and sal in a joker vs.

Joker challenge.

Just a guy out here with a cause, fellas.

Do what you can to make a difference In this cold, unforgiving world.

"impeach general tso.

Let's impeach general tso, everyone! The region's in shambles.

He's got no backbone.

The man's a chicken.

Impeach general tso.

I'm just trying to raise awareness about general tso And the injustice in the mongolian region.

Yeah.

It's a real beefy region.



[ laughter ]

You know, he shouldn't be in office.

Him and his running mate, they were a bad combination.

They were like combination number 2.

This is just pun-tastic.

Chinese food puns.

He got rid of the low-income housing down on main street And we need that lo mein.

He caused all sorts of problems.

About a half hour later, he does it again.



[ q laughing ]

You want to just help me out and just carry a sign? I got two here.

Oh.

He gives millions of people heartburn every year!

[ buzzer ]

Let's see what my fate is.

It's an important cause, bud.

What the

[bleep]

does this mean? "don't stop letting people not help"? I mean, we wrote the sign, and I don't even know what it means.

Yeah.

You want to let people continue to not help anybody? Murr: Don't stop.

You shouldn't stop.

No, this is a good thing.

No, it's a bad thing.

Don't stop letting people not help.

No, no, no, no.

People that don't help.

You should not stop people who don't help.

Sal: No, okay, so look down here.

You have people that don't help, right? Then you have "stop people that don't help.

" That's good.

No, don't stop the people from not helping Is the thing, right? You

-- is this good or bad? I don't know.

Don't stop letting people not help!

[ laughter ]

People who do not help Do not need you to stop them from trying to not help! I cannot express this any clearer!

[ laughs ]

I think my message Is a little not as clear as I had hoped.

"don't stop letting people not help.

" Too many negatives.

So if you strip away the double negative, So "stop letting people help.

" Oh, wow.

I just amazed myself.



[ laughter ]

So this sign is not good.

Nevertheless, I have to get someone to help me.

So, are you not going to help me? No, we're not gonna help you.

Oh, I can't stop you.

Narrator: Sal can protest all he wants, But he's still tonight's big loser.
