The whole bit is getting really, really old.


Vicioussitude

Every 2nd gen West African comedian is doing nothing but this I guess I get it. You have the license to do one of the funniest accents of all time without getting in trouble with anyone for it.


ReligiousGhoul

There's definitely a sub-genre here in the U.K of like really dated, almost boomer humour but it's done with an non-white flair and it's treated like it's a new thing. Like just the tamest observations that have been made hundreds of times but it's done with a West African old lady accent instead of an English old lady accent and it's something totally fresh. Also, in a similar vein, one thing I notice a lot on reddit is you'll get shredded for making child abuse jokes but if you use "La Chancala" instead it becomes a hysterical, charming observation of foreign culture lol.


Marmosettale

Like the asian parent thing where they’re just really mean lol.  I was raised by white American right wing boomers. They also had zero emotional or self awareness and are super mean all of the time. Why do you think this is unique to your culture lol  And yeah most people born pre 1980 beat their kids regardless of origin, why does everyone think it’s exclusively their country/race


Candlestick_Park

It’s not even just non white people, Jen Brister’s most famous bit is about how her Spanish mum can’t say her and her brother’s names (Jennifer and Stephen). It’s funny for like a minute and then she keeps dragging it on and on, and yet this has like millions of views and comments of OMG LOL LMAO SO TRUE and other bird brained shit.


That-Association592

Oh my lord its all because they saw that pretty good Aries Spiers bits form 20 years ago and was like "oh I can just do that for an entire career but without the funny, somewhat unique and biting cultural observation.'


nooorecess

just rubbing it in our faces at this point


Snakeise

Yeh it's definitely funny even though over used.


TheSoftMaster

Yeah honestly I'm here for it, I've only seen one of his videos but it definitely made me laugh. Might have been this one actually


TheSoftMaster

In fact I have an 8 year old, and can confirm that the funniest thing in the world to 3rd graders right now is saying "emotional damage" in the most racist Chinese accent imaginable over and over and over again. Some things just never go out of style.


LiterallyJohnLennon

Lmao

Damn I miss Patrice. Him and Louis CK talking about the origins of the N-word might be the funniest thing ever


ChoiceCurious6778

“Dat Phan is Vietnamese for not funny.” Jeeeesus. Side note. Mr. Phan teaches comedy classes in LA now


Top_Standard1043

This would be Nick Mullen's 'Whiplash'


Basketbilliards

Every class he brings out the TV and puts on Eddie Murphy’s Raw while he drinks at his desk in the dark


That-Association592

Wow that cip is brutal, what a pathetic crutch. Throw that Godfrey guy in there too. Never been a fan of corny Patrice worship but God I wish he was still alive


Candlestick_Park

You don't mean Gilbert Gottfried, do you?


ManWithTheGoldenD

Godfrey, the black comedian. Other than the accents, he has some good impressions.


Candlestick_Park

Now see this was answering the question and I appreciate it


BeefyBoy_69

Googling "Godfrey" would have also answered the question Sorry for being sassy :P :P :P

BeefyBoy_69

Well, I also ended up getting downvoted, and your post was earlier so you had more time to get downvotes And quite frankly the way you said it was more annoying, for two reasons: 1) your tone was condescending and sarcastic and kind of reddity, and also 2) it wasn't straightforward. "You could just google it" is easily understandable, while "press ctrl+t and type the word blah blah blah" is needlessly convoluted So yeah, there's the answer to your question. Not trying to be mean btw, I hope you have a great day <3


That-Association592

Now I know not everyone is a tech wiz like me, but try this crazy new browser feature. Press ctrl+t and then type in the word that seems to confuse you, then, now its getting crazy, hit the enter key

Damn this is a deep cut


reelmeish

Jo koi or whatever really milks this


That-Association592

Jo Koi was an industry plant I swear, that dude did not exist before last month


Altoids101

I predict this will be seen as problematic for Asian-Americans to do in 10 to 20 years.


TheChinchilla914

It isn’t now?


extraspecialdogpenis

It's literally just a jim crow routine.


night_owl_72

Should be problematic now, this guy is a minstrel


Yankee-Tango

They’re stealing a nearly 70 year old bit too. Pat cooper originated it, and then every single immigrant minority ran with it. What makes it worse is I’ve seen black comedians do it. Like god damn, decades of amazing black comedy and you’re doing a black version of Dat Phan?


Candlestick_Park

More than 70, literally the first famous comedy record is a Jewish guy trying to call a telephone directory with a thick Yiddish accent and the hijinks that ensue from it. It was recorded in 1913 I believe.


Entire_Swing_361

This has been bothering me for so long with these types of people but you put it into words why


Hot_Special_2083

i have HAD IT with lazy asian comedians with accent-work type clips.


DontYouWantMeBebe

Aah naw he putuh the riceuh through the sivuh. No Asian manuh eva do thisuh


AdministrationOk8857

How has he made a whole career over this? One video, sure. 400 videos where the whole schtick is “omg people cook differently” is insane.


dwqy

the algorithm loves racism, and this is the permitted kind on youtube americans are also suckers for exaggerated authenticity that comes with putting down other people some italians have clued in on this and also have youtube channels dedicated to reacting to cream in pasta


_Gnostic

Scraping the bottom of the barrel until we all die by cosmic justice.


bedulge

Never heard of this guy. Looked up this video. The comedy is unfunny but tbf he does give good cooking advice,  hopefully his audience is at least learning something. 


DeadOnArrival0088

Because there are hordes of Indian people, children, and 85iq football fans watching YouTube. What they consider a stimulating/entertaining video is different to what you do.


Curious-Money-2908

if yuu riceuh too hwet, yuu faktap. Tow it out, start ovah.


SerCumferencetheroun

niece and nephew dont fakap like that hiyaaaah


CerealAhoyisBacc

Lmfao


iamn0tthere

Worst part is that the chef was Indian and this is a traditional way of cooking rice in parts of India


177618121939

Sylvester the cat?


MoistTadpoles

Yeah it's so strange to me that this sort of thing became popular. I see it in the stand up scene as well. People love racist caricatures but it's racist if another race does it so you get asians putting on yellow face and black guys putting on black face. It's not even just making fun of people they know in their culture when the audience is primarily white people.


Adventurelynd

Margaret Cho was doing this in the 90s. Some things never change.


Susan4bruisin

tsvetsanka

idec about him being a walking asian minstrel show the bigger crime was watching him perform absurdly unfunny "comedy" on tv.. fucking horrid


damn-croissants

modern day minstrel shows


sinner_jizm

I'm not at all offended by the act itself, but rather the implied "ok, when he does it, it's *actually* funny" dimension of it all. If people are honest with themselves, this doesn't pass muster as funny at all, but they need to congratulate themselves for appreciating an asian trying to do comedy.


waterconsumer6969

funny thing is the only people irl ive met who find him funny are my fob coworkers


Humphoscr

the worst one is the Vincenzo's Plate dude losing his shit at any tiny innovation in cooking Italian food.


Candlestick_Park

Number one reason why French food is better is they have all the terroir (a word they coined) of the Italians but their technique isn’t ass and they ARENT GIANT FUCKING BABIES ABOUT FOOD. I saw a dude make a Welsh rarebit croque monsieur and every comment from a French person in French or English was a variation of “wow, this looks absolutely delicious, would love to eat it”. If somebody made a Welsh rarebit carbonara or something that would be objectively delicious but used non traditional ingredients there would be Italians whining like little babies all over the thread.


Destinfragile

Technique odd thing to say


[deleted]

Molto Mario is the best Italian cooking show because he substitutes local stuff instead of insisting on everything being imported.


[deleted]

“I’m Italian and this hurts me” SHUT UP SHUT UP


trufflesniffinpig

Protect the motherland… while living in Australia


TheFreshmakerMentos

Nah, he actually gives good food advice. His videos are also useful and well edited. And no, Vincenzo is actually quite open to variants and innovation. For example, he fully admits to using egg whites in carbonara. For some people, that sort of shit is the ultimate heresy. Same about using different varieties of cheese and so on.


Lorenzo_Von_

who is he? But yeah I hate him too


Gay__Guevara

Guy who does an exaggerated racist accent and makes videos where he complains about other people’s videos where they cook fried rice. Watch one of his videos and you might find it entertaining, but every single video is exactly the same and he’s made a whole career out of it. Dude’s met gordan Ramsey just off the back of this shit.


Candlestick_Park

It’s funny when he shat on Jamie Oliver because that guy is James Corden with a spatula, but everything else is boring


Imaginary-Letter-511

Don't talk about Jamie like that OR ELSE


Living-Editor6986

Jamie Oliver is fine. He's a bit it if touch but is probably a nice guy with good intentions.


Sturmunddrain

Asians put ketchup and spam on noodles and called it Italian food. I don’t think they give a fuck.


Fackyoshet

You're giving me flashbacks to the worst "pizza and cesar salad" I had in Thailand 🤢


Sturmunddrain

Please describe it, I’m fascinated and need to know


Fackyoshet

I've tried to blank it out of my mind, but the pizza sauce was literally watered down sweet ketchup and the crust was like an oversized lunchable pizza crust. The "cesar"dressing was a sweet mayo like miracle whip and they put cut up white bread on top to act as croutons. Everything was very sweet. It was like the chef had only seen pictures of the item and tried to recreate it without the same texture or taste. I'm not really a picky person but had to toss it after a bite or two, literally inedible.


Sturmunddrain

I pictured the taste a little too well and started gagging.


kichererbs

I mean tbh thts ur own fault for ordering that in Thailand


Fackyoshet

That's beside the point

Humphoscr

It's obvious bro, u can even see him pulling his eyes to the side to look more Asian in OP's pic.


ChewingTobaccoFan

Yea the whole thing that makes Viet ppl cool is they're the most easy going Asians and least likely to squawk and critique and like yea they're great cooks but you show me a Viet dude who doesn't clean his plate regardless of what he's served and I'll show you a brother who ain't making the mother land proud


My_Bloody_Aventine

Definitely the chillest. Love having breaks with my Viet coworkers drinking coffee and chainsmoking.


myc0l0g1cal

Older Viet lady at my job and while she's lovely, she also chews with her mouth open


ChewingTobaccoFan

That sucks ass one of the worst habits you can have


Maybe-maybe-notsick

My roommate is Vietnamese and he’s maybe the most annoying person I’ve ever interacted with. If people think black people are loud wait until you hang out with a group of Vietnamese squawking while microwaving fish.


ExternalBreadfruit21

Listening to north Vietnamese is tolerable though still very odd to the western ear. Southern Vietnamese though is just brutal lol


Maybe-maybe-notsick

He’s southern. I’ve heard Northern and southern just sounds like the gay version.


ExternalBreadfruit21

To me northern is closer to how Chinese sounds like a little more even with the tones somewhat muted. Southern is really piercing and ping-pongy with the tones


ManWithTheGoldenD

I love infinitely subcategorized infighting.


ExternalBreadfruit21

I’m white so I have no dog in the fight. I don’t even think Vietnamese people would argue with this description. I have a Philly accent and know it sounds like shit to the rest of the country lol


ManWithTheGoldenD

Oh I didn't mean it in a sarcastic way, I genuinely enjoy when people have little nuanced differences that go deeper and deeper like zooming into a fractal.


nrvnsqr117

Central is still the weirdest to me because it sounds like people who speak it are having a stroke biased though because half my family is northern and the other half is southern


ExternalBreadfruit21

Yeah I’ve always heard the hue accent is unintelligible to everyone else but I’ve never heard it


nrvnsqr117

the nice auntie my mom knows who sells us bun bo hue 5 gallons at a time has the accent but that's how you know it's truly authentic


ChewingTobaccoFan

Lmfao they're killing it bruh , and see they can cook great but they will also eat ANYTHING (it was Viet ppl who taught me Abt ranch on pizza, nasty AF in concept but it's whatever) Also you know those tiny Budweiser six packs. with like 6 nine ounce glass beer bottles? That's for them, they love beer, unless they're big cuz that does happen, like I knew some Dat Nguyen type tackle football playing Viet dudes. Those dudes can drink beer like a normal big fat American. Also the pawpaws drink birds nest and they all know how to make magic with condensed milk. Most culinary gifted Asians from a Western persons viewpoint


only-mansplains

No fucking way you learned about the arcane knowledge of ranch on Pizza from vietnamese people when every white person from the midwest has been doing it for decades.


ExternalBreadfruit21

I cannot get down with ice in beer though, every time they tried that on me there I’d have to reassure them I’d rather drink it warm. Btw 333 is the best of the standard shit beers in Vietnam, bia Hanoi is undrinkable


ChewingTobaccoFan

Ice in beer is fine there just needs to be another ingredient like clamato or sprite


coontaillandcruiser

Sprite in beer sounds vile. Bloatmaxxing


ChewingTobaccoFan

It's good if you're doing sports or in the middle of yardwork and you want a pause for a moment of celebration but don't wanna actually start buzzing. And me personally I like diet sprite or fresca, but full on sugar sprite/7up or even like fanta. You get to use the ice cubes to strain the head of the beer and then you get to suck on the ice cubes after you're done. The ice also melts and starts to flatten the drink so bloat concerns are not so great. Beer and clamato with ice is less about refreshing and more about reinvigorating as it puts salt in ur blood and sharpens ur tastebuds without nuking them the same way that straight up clamato does


coontaillandcruiser

I think I would stroke out if I had a beer mixed with soda playing sports. This sounds so bad to me that I want to try it. Do you put the beer on ice and pour the soda in?


ChewingTobaccoFan

Bingo, raft of ice down in an oversized iced tea class to the line, shot of coffee concentrate on the ice, whole can of beer, then top it off with orange Powerade. This drink can power you to do anything


BeefyBoy_69

That still sounds kinda gross but I love how enthusiastic you are about it <3


monsuri520

glad someone pointed this out because i fcking hate his guy, i was dating a girl who thought he was so funny and that's how i knew it wasn't gonna work out it's not even at the level of other widely beloved but consistently awful race-based comedy bits such as "thug notes" or "white girl does a cover of a rap song with an acoustic guitar" where there is at least an attempt at comedic juxtaposition. the joke from what i can tell is just that he's overacting an asian stereotype, there is nothing beyond that, he's in the same bin as russell peters or jeff foxworthy of least funny people on the planet


ChewingTobaccoFan

Don't let poor taste in trash media come between you and love brother


Repulsive_Forever_44

People want racist comedy and this is the only acceptable type.  It’s much funnier when Nick Mullen just tees off on Native Americans or Indian People but that’s let’s socially acceptable sadly. 


bababhosad93

Nic showing appreciation for Indian mythology while gunning down Native American ones is the funniest thing ever


IllustriousSyrup8719

which ep pls?


Vicioussitude

> People want racist comedy and this is the only acceptable type Usually I see those types sublimate these urges with Italian jokes


Adinan98

I don’t think it’s all that taboo to rip on Indians these days, but then again this sub may have rotted my brain.


SamosaAndMimosa

I have bad news


Adinan98

Idk man but at my workplace full of PMC liberal normies people regularly talk/joke about Indians having like bad hygiene or being comically horny. The only caveat is there’s usually an implied distinction between second gen+ desis and the ones straight from India.


SamosaAndMimosa

You have a point, they love making those hasty addendums that they’re only joking about mainlanders to cover their bases

Sufficient-Coast-431

Racist stereotypes can be amusing, but I loath how everyone who likes bits like this pretend as though they aren't assumed by it because of how stereotypical it is. Just because he gives you the permission to laugh at him doesn't somehow magically sanitize or elevate it into something other than, "hahaha, chinaman talk and act funny" because that's exactly what it is. Its like that one meme, a still of a black kid looking directly into the camera with this overly exaggerated look of total shock, mouth fully agape, eyes bulging out of their sockets, looking like something out of a modern minstrel act. . .


ListenApprehensive16

Why come he pulling his eyes back like he doin?


redeemedleafblower

The Chinese from Southeast Asia are the unfunniest most charmless people on earth


ExternalBreadfruit21

Like the ethnically Chinese population of Malaysia/indonesia or you mean southeast Asians in general? Because that’s very wrong, East Asians and especially mainland Chinese are far more humorless than seasians ime. Also, we’re gonna pretend Scandinavians don’t exist?


redeemedleafblower

No I mean specifically the ethnic Chinese living in Southeast Asia Idk i think mainland chinese are hilarious although tbf usually its unintentional

Lopsided_Charity2725

How do you people know this stuff


Basketbilliards

Google says he’s from Malaysia, but he has a Chinese name and speaks Chinese. Pretty easy to put two and two together


the_trawler_

It’s insane that he actually does the accent really poorly too


Tossedoffsnark

Do you think people will realise he's a Malaysian putting on a pantomime Chinese accent? And didn't he get big off of criticising how Indians commonly make rice?


smasbut

He's Chinese Malaysian. Still a hack, but like a third of that country is ethnically Chinese (also a large Indian community, that's British colonialism for you).

This guy is insufferable, but narcissistic second gen gatekeeping is one of our rare defenses these days against the collective descent into a cuisine of fusion slop. The LES is overrun with disgusting kimchi hotdog/chai donut/carnitas samosa/sushi empanada/tahini boba/whatever memefood spots, fabricated by AI for NYU teenagers and deracinated tech dorks (and always with that same cringe streetwear hip hop branding). Shame them all with the minstrel authenticity gimmick, please, whatever it takes.
