2 min

Tim riffs on how Long Islanders used Hurricane Sandy as a lifelong excuse for their personal failures, predicting coronavirus will become the same kind of catch-all excuse.

In this bit4 moments
  • Hurricane Sandy gave Long Island friends a decade-long excuse for inevitable failure instead of admitting they failed out of community college and have criminal records.
  • Right after Hurricane Sandy destroyed houses, people blamed the storm for ruining their lives—one guy claimed he was a medical biller about to get married until the hurricane hit.
  • Tim jokes that Long Island residents blamed Obama's black magic powers for Hurricane Sandy because they voted for McCain.
  • Coronavirus could become the new Hurricane Sandy—people's universal excuse for failure, even if they were actually fired drunk two weeks before the pandemic started.
