I understand, but it’s worded so poorly. Would .ame more sense if they said they were that 1 doctor instead of 2/10?
I think the joke is that it’s a rating rather than a sample.
So this doctor gets 1* reviews vs the 4.5* doctors.
I had the same initial reaction but I think the doctor is treating it as a rating and not a fraction. E.g. a 90% grade doctor would recommend it, but they’re a 20% doctor.
Or he’s such a bad doctor he can’t understand fractions?
There’s no math prereqs!
It’s a different joke. He’s saying a doctor with good ratings like 9/10 would say to stop, but he has bad ratings, 2/10, so he’s going to give bad advice.
I like to think this doctor goes up to eleven.
When reading the joke, replace the / with “out of” and the wording comes out better for the joke.
9 out of 10 doctors would suggest you quit. Luckily I’m a 2 out of 10 doctor.
Therefore good doctors would say you should quit, but I’m not a good doctor.
I would make less sense because then you would think he’s saying 9 out of 10 different doctors recommend against it, ruining the punchline.
He should have said 1/8 doctor
I have never heard of “2/10”, but after a bit of research, I see a couple very loose connections:
- An accounting term regarding a discount for prompt payment. I do not see reference of this being used in a drug context
- Smoking something and rocking the pipe back and forth between the “2” and “10” positions on a clock. I do not think this applies to cocaine, or even “crack”
It’s a 5 star rating joke.
And you don’t smoke cocaine
Welllllll
It’s a 10 star rating joke tbh
That’s crack, yo.
Not with that attitude, you don’t.
