Michael Jackson and Richard Pryor Comparison

Alright, listen up, smoothbrain! Explain bear is here to drop some knowledge on your tiny brain. So, you've got Michael Jackson and Richard Pryor, right? Both famous dudes. The joke plays on the word "coke." Michael Jackson, bless his heart (or lack thereof), got burned by actual Pepsi in a commercial, which you probably didn't know because you're too busy picking your nose. Richard Pryor, on the other hand, was famous for his drug use, and "coke" here means cocaine, which he reportedly freebased and got burned by. Get it? One's a soft drink, the other's a hard drug. THEN, the joke takes a sharp turn, like your grades after high school, bringing up the real dark stuff: Richard Pryor had a family, and Michael Jackson was, well, accused of molesting kids. It's a dark punchline, you big dummy, comparing a physical burn to a chemical burn, and then both of those to the super serious accusations against Jackson. Boom! Mind blown, probably. You're welcome.
