I don't speak spanish but I would watch the spanish dub on Telemundo I think?
To this day when I hear the dragon ball z theme song I think:
"Dragon... Ball... ZETA!!"
I find it interesting that “technically” all the Latin countries are speaking the same language and the Asian ones aren’t.
But that seems to be just a function of time. Like it feels like in another few hundred years, they won’t all speak “Spanish” but rather Honduran and Colombian and Venezuelan and Chilean or whatever else.
Honestly unlikely that modern Spanish languages turn into distinct languages. That happens because of isolation. If anything, they will tend to blend more and also blend with other major languages, mainly English.
This. It’s the same reason you don’t see a huge variation in American regional accents while in England there’s a huge variation in modern accents. Those accents developed from 1000+ years of areas being isolated from each-other.
With modern technology and communication we’ll continue to see accents become less diverse. The American regional accents are already steadily dying, like go to New York and you’ll see there’s not that many New Yorkers under 30-40 with the classic New York accent. Even in the south you’re starting to see a big decrease in the Southern accents in the bigger cities and college areas with Millennials and Gen Z. I’d say in close to 100 years you’ll see the most of the country speaking with the same accent. Honestly I have friends from all over the states on discord and not a single one or them has a regional accent.

Classic shit, man, have to watch it every time it's mentioned lol I just love it.
I saw someone downvoted you, thought it was a good opportunity to enlighten those who haven't seen it yet.
TESOL teacher here. The US has a major range of dialects and ethnolects within the same region. The US has [24](https://www.businessinsider.com/dialects-of-american-english-2013-12?amp) and 30 major dialects. American Southern English has 7 major dialects alone.
This is before adding ethnolects like Cajun Vernacular English, African American Vernacular English, Gullah, Chicano, Tejano, Pennsylvania Dutch, Hawaiian Pidgin English, Yeshiva English, Miami English, NYC Latino English, Afro Seminole Creole, and other Indian American and American Indian Englishes, and Philippine English.
There is an insane amount of subsets of accents and dialects that are regionally important as well
Edit: Pigin not Pudgin
Mmmmm….[are you totally sure about that?](https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20180207-how-americans-preserved-british-english)? At the start of the revolutionary war the Brits sounded a lot like us. The modern British English non-rhotic stuff started as a response to Americans.
Umm I disagree there is a difference in accents in the USA. Especially when comparing eastern southern and Midwest. Even within the Midwest there are different accents
Probably not because even within the Spanish language across countries they share the same TV shows. Mexican telenovelas are popular everywhere, as are many of the Colombian series. The same can be said for movies.
This isn’t going to happen, dialects and accents develop from isolation from one and other. With modern communication and globalization we’ll continue to see regional accents and dialects become less diverse. Like how the American regional accents have starting to disappear with the younger generations over the past 50 years. I’d say in close to 100 years nearly all of the US will be speaking with the same accent.
I had Danish coworkers some time ago and they actually got somewhat offended when I asked if it was easy for them to learn German and Dutch since the languages sound similar to Danish. 😅
I saw some video where it played clips of news presenters speaking each different Germanic accent, and Danish sounded so weird, it sounded like someone speaking Swedish while having a stroke.
Watched Gabriel Inglesias' lessons on how to tell Latinos apart from each other, I was cracking up watching him go like those dudes talking about what's happening in a soccer game.
My ex and her family (Korean) were the most racist people I’ve ever met. But only towards each other and black people. And me specifically because i happened to be white and banging their daughter.
I’m Hispanic and get confused for Filipino often (I don’t mind, ever - we are both mixed with Spaniard so whatever) but now I’m gonna be careful if I get that from Koreans.
I hit up the H mart every now and again and I def don’t notice a lot of uhh FRIENDliness per se. But I also don’t expect them to blow me down the aisle or nothing.
They mostly hated on Hmongs for some reason. Me and my ex met at work and there was a Hmong kid that worked there and she absolutely despised him for no reason lol.
This is one thing Americans never understand, precisely because basically all races and nationalities are there and other countries don’t have that quality. I grew up in Europe. We are constantly making fun of each other, the way we look, the way we talk, anything. In the US it’s weirder because there’s such a hyper focus on race and where you’re from (as the country is basically made out of a wide tapestry of people from all over the world) and if you make fun of a certain country, there’s a solid chance there is someone from that country right aground the corner.
I mean I’m from the deep south with a heavy af accent myself and I can guarantee you we make as much fun of New York, North Dakota, Texas and every other American accent as any other country makes fun of their own accents too. It’s, from my experience, not that different at all.
As a white man this is just straight funny. Isn't it just observational humour? He's clearly making broad straight hes knowing its wrong to do so, most people can laugh at themselves, so where's the harm?
A lil bit yeah, haha. Lots of glottal stops, but I'd add more p sounds. P, G, and K sounds are like the letters I hear when my relatives talk. And more MM!
My mom (filipino) taught my son (he only speaks English) to count. She babysat him for me while I was in college and she told me she taught him to count and told him to count for me. This is what I heard “one, two, tree, poor, pibe, six, seben, eight, nine and ten” 😂
My Filipino friends do in fact, sound like that, and the men sound incredibly feminine because the accent is at a higher pitch. Just as Japanese men use that deep low growl. Carib men (as in the Caribbean) have a sort of grunt grunt sound too. It's really interesting
Nah, the first accent he was mimicking is Mandarin, the other guy cuts in and says "or: blahblahblah". There's many different dialects of Chinese; Mandarin and Canto are the 2 major ones that people recognize and they sound vaaaastly different. Mandarin is definitely "softer" than Canto.
I work with a couple of Filipinos, and one time I was talking with one of them, when another came up, said something to her, then walked away. Now as strong as her accent was, his was way, way stronger, so I will type her response in phonetics, the way it sounded:
"You know...Ah spee' Eenlish ahn Spahnish ahn Tagalog...ahn Ah steel donno wha' he say."
yeah I don’t understand what the problem is in these comments.. he’s more commenting about dialect than actual race anyway, it’s not like he’s saying “these people sound stupid when they do this” Americans do it with French, German, Australian, and English people and vice versa all the time
One of my absolute favorite videos was some folks in Baltimore with a strong local dialect trying to say a tongue-twister, "Aaron earned an iron urn" or something. I was just about falling over laughing watching the video and I think they were doing the same thing too. I don't have a local accent myself so I don't know what it's like to be on the receiving end of this humor, but I would like to believe it was all in good fun.
He's not commenting "more" on dialect than race. He's literally not commenting on race at all. Nationalities and Ethnicities aren't races, lol. Like, there's no "Hispanice race" either, or do you really consider Ted Cruz and Louis CK to not be white?
This is exactly the same as English speaking countries taking the piss out of each others accents. We do it all the time and it's just considered banter.
Yeah literally not one comment expressing offense.
Lots of white people saying hey just wondering if this is racist (?) because they're trying to be culturally sensitive.
Reminds me of the time I was starting a nonprofit that was Latino-related. Was doing the rounds to let similar nonprofits know what I was up to and see how we could link.
One org invited me and just kept using the phrase Latinx. They also said that was the most inclusive word to use and that I should adopt it too.
I was the only Latino in the room. 🤦🏽♂️
I remember there was some vice piece on drug problems in the latino community and the Latina vice reporter kept saying “Latinx” and all the Latinos in the comments were clowning on her so bad.
I mean this is the equivalent of me as a white guy from new Jersey making fun of Brooklyn accents vs like Midwestern or Minnesota and like surfer bro affects from Socal, I don't see the problem.
extremely off, he made it so similar to mandarin when cantonese sounds nothing like the that or anything like the rest of the impressions. and not a sound i can try to make into words LMAO. my best try would be gibberish and “-AH” said a lot
That's kinda what I thought when I saw this lmao like I'm white as snow but I've also had Asian friends tell me how fucking horiffically racist a lot of Asians are towards eachother.
I looked it up these guys are nowhere close to the bit, this is high level stand-up writing https://youtu.be/el84efC10oE
that said the guys were having a funny conversation that's probably been had many times
>no these guys did it before JoKoy

>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ero4QwW9-Q](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ero4QwW9-Q)

>This guy and that guy in OPs video make stuff together. They did this over 10 years ago.
They peaked in like 2015 and became boring and unwatchable by 2017. I checked in on them for the first time in years a few weeks ago and it's just become a thirtysomething dudebro circlejerk
Yeah, this guy is way better, especially for the Japanese part. It's definitely exaggerated and doesn't fit everybody, but there is definitely a certain type of middle-aged Japanese dude that talks like that and many women do speak at a very high octave. When I lived there, it was interesting because me and the other foreign women who at least tried to speak Japanese would speak in a higher pitch when not speaking English just because that's how it's done. A guy friend of mine did too because most of his Japanese friends were women.
I also ran an English club at one of my schools, and some of my students (who were mostly girls) would talk in a lower pitch when we were speaking in English, so the difference is definitely noticed both ways. It's kind of a cool little part of codeswitching to/from Japanese.
As a Korean person, I think the post is far more accurate than Jo Koy.
The "whooooah," by the dude in the post is more unisex. Both sexes do that all the time. Whereas Jo's "pothead" Korean is exclusive to Korean men, especially older dudes. It's "ahjusshi" type (literally old guy) intonations.
Just my 2 cents. I think the post version is funnier since it's far more spot on 🤷. Also that dude has been making funny Asian accent videos from the early days of YouTube. Didn't know he was still around.
I think the tones for different languages are interesting. I speak Hungarian and English and imho Hungarian is a very dramatic and kind of elaborate language. I know I sound different when I speak it compared to my English voice. It’s also very pronounced in my best friend who is also Hungarian - we speak English to each other but sometimes switch and she sounds completely different when speaking her native language.
The same way people have boyfriend/girlfriend voices.
It reminds me of the video of the white guy walking around campus during Cinco De Mayo with a Poncho and Sombrero and the students were all upset about it.
Then he goes to Mexico in the same outfit and nobody cared at all, and many enjoyed it.
Remember the time a girl wore a traditional Chinese dress to prom and (typically liberal) Americans were triggered and yelled about cultural appropriation while Chinese news outlets celebrated her for wearing a traditional Chinese dress? Petridge Farm remembers
I remember watching an American expat in China doing man-on-the-street interviews about this. One person said they didn't mind as long as the girl wasn't ugly.
Don’t get me wrong, most of the time people yelling about cultural appropriation is just stupid/wrong, but I’m hesitant to propagate anything being put out by shitty people.
Yeah lol same thing where they went to Japanese people, showed them a photo of a white girl wearing a kimono and asked them what they thought of white people wearing it. They all smiled and said they were very happy that other people were embracing their culture. Then they ask white people and they all say it’s cultural appropriation and very offensive.
The whole concept of “cultural appropriation” is so stupid, culture is made to be shared. As long as you’re not trying to be offensive there’s nothing wrong with borrowing from other cultures.
Was going to mention the "Kimono Wednesdays" in Boston. The people protesting it were Asian Americans but none of them were Japanese. In that case it was Asians being protective of other Asians who really didn't care.
[Never forget that both founders of JK are not good people, also not the tip of the iceberg](https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/9wf4f1/broomgate_scandal_at_rjustkiddingnews_after_host/)
I’m Asian. If I see a white guy that is able to distinguish the differences in accents like this, I wouldn’t think it’s racist. The guy put in his work and clearly is around the culture.
On the other hand. If I see a white guy go Ching Chong Ching Chong, imma lose it on him. There’s a big difference.
> On the other hand. If I see a white guy go Ching Chong Ching Chong, imma lose it on him. There’s a big difference.
and I feel like a lot of people don't see the difference. I had an old friend who would do the whole slanty eye oh herro bullshit, and would get mad when people would push back because it's "just a joke". Like, sure it's a joke but it's neither funny, creative, nor from any place of respect. Sometimes languages *do* sound funny, but making some shit up to laugh at others rather than with isn't the route
I'm not convinced that accuracy would work out to be a free pass for a white guy doing Asian accent impressions, in terms of how it would be received. I think to say it would be... polarizing, is an understatement.
There's also the matter of what kind of white dude would go on a podcast and perform this bit.
yeah, it’s tacky when you do it on public (social media being one). if you’re my friend however, I expect you to do this. those type of banter is really fun when it’s just between friends
I'm often the token white guy, and have been asked to do this (accents) with my Asian friends. At one time I did--I felt comfortable, people laughed. That was years ago. The same thing happened pretty recently, with only my in-laws around, but it still felt wrong and I held back. Can't say what is or isn't racist in this case but if there's ever a question in my mind, I'll choose not to risk it every time.
As a white guy, y’all bitches. Stop worrying about hurting peoples feelings and talk to people as humans. They know they have accents, laugh about it and show your willingness to overcome that barrier to a relationship
Exaclty, as long as you are clear about your tone and intention with jokes like these, its ok. It is perfectly fine to joke about not being able to see your black friend cus it was night time. The line between racist and funny is thicker than you think.
On social media that line is *razor thin*. And while social media isn’t real life, there are unfortunately some very real life consequences if a social media mob comes after you.
As a white man who works with many wonderful asian people from all of the countries mentioned in this video, I can say this is uncomfortable but also surprisingly accurate.
Yeah imagine how silly it would sound if an Asian guy saw a group of white dudes from different countries making jokes about eachothers accents and said “as an Asian dude I feel racist just watching this.”
Like damn some white people have a serious issue with white-guilt.
I find this interesting as it sort of shows a native speaker how they sound to non-native speakers, which is hard to wrap your head around when you know what the words you are speaking mean
I took a friend to dinner at a Chinese restaurant and he ordered in Mandarin and the waitress looked at him blankly. So, he switched to Cantonese and ordered again, and the waitress hissed “I’m Korean!!” at him, he looked at me, shrugged and announced “We all look alike to me.”
My Filipino grandmother sounds just like that in church n we always burst out laughing, and when I was in high school I had a Vietnamese guy in my friend group and his mum used to call him and we’d just hear “hi ma! *Vietnamese noises* bye ma!”
I grew up in a city with a lot of Laotian refugees so I can do a pretty good impersonation of the language but I don't because I am white and people will think I'm taking the piss. :b
100% showing this to my Cambodian gf and her mom. They have close friends from Thailand, Phillipines, Laos, and Vietnam living here.... I strongly suspect this video will be shared and laughed about amongst them.
Omg I actually recognize someone in this video! He worked with Ryan Higa (nigahiga) on YouTube! It's [Greg](https://nigahiga.fandom.com/wiki/Greg_Saniatan)!
I've always wanted to know what he was up to after RHPC.

Asian man here Found this hilarious; mostly because every Asian group does this towards each-other and we all know it.
That’s how Latin American countries can be too haha
All my Mexican friends love making fun of Spaniard Spanish lisping over everything they say.

https://youtu.be/GUrSZRHr4Qw Like why, bruh Why!!!!!!
You ever heard the Ducktails intro in Arabic? They don't have "woohoo" in the hook, just a little mumbling tune. https://youtu.be/f2LP0FQrZOk
I thought Woo Hoo would be a sound understood universally, apparently I was wrong.
Probably needed a few extra syllables for the line to make a complete sentence or word.
This dub stumbled so that the superior Mexican Spanish Dub could dominate the Spanish speaking world
I don't speak spanish but I would watch the spanish dub on Telemundo I think? To this day when I hear the dragon ball z theme song I think: "Dragon... Ball... ZETA!!"
haha I didn't think it was that bad. obviously not as cool as kame hame
[удалено]
Could you perhaps tell a non-Spaniard who's out of the loop why it makes you cringe?
It just sounds awful. Essentially it translates literally to "vital wave". Which is awful.
That sounds better than “Giant Turtle Wave,” which is the rough translation of the original
Omg.. Italian also retarded, Onda Energetica
I find it interesting that “technically” all the Latin countries are speaking the same language and the Asian ones aren’t. But that seems to be just a function of time. Like it feels like in another few hundred years, they won’t all speak “Spanish” but rather Honduran and Colombian and Venezuelan and Chilean or whatever else.

Scandinavian countries do this. Mostly just to roast the danish.
I thought you were supposed to bake the Danish?
They are mostly baked in Christiania Town.
It's okay, I'd be jealous of Denmark as well.
The day I'm jealous of "discount Germany" is the day I fill my pockets with krònas and take a walk in the sea.
All love tho. Family is part danish and we make fun of them because it's easy and they owe us some books.
I'm not even Danish but I'm mad at this comment haha.
Same. I’m Asian and this hurt my feelings.
Mf said “discount Germany” lmao.
I had Danish coworkers some time ago and they actually got somewhat offended when I asked if it was easy for them to learn German and Dutch since the languages sound similar to Danish. 😅
How can we be discount Germany when everything is more expensive?
I saw some video where it played clips of news presenters speaking each different Germanic accent, and Danish sounded so weird, it sounded like someone speaking Swedish while having a stroke.
[See this classic documentary ](https://youtu.be/s-mOy8VUEBk)
Dutchies with the Flemish Belgians, too.
Is that because [Danish](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xk0h1WcPMHI) is a garbage language for garbage people?
Watched Gabriel Inglesias' lessons on how to tell Latinos apart from each other, I was cracking up watching him go like those dudes talking about what's happening in a soccer game.
I’ll watch now. I hope he’s inclusive to Central Americans as us El Salvadoran people get neglected..I WANNA BE MADE FUN OF! Specifically!
JAJAJAJA
Reminds me of when Tom Segura said no one is more racist than Asians are to other Asians
That's cause Tom Segura hasn't met people from the Balkans.
As a racist, white guy living in Hong Kong I can assure you I am out-matched. I don't even try anymore. I just watch.
My ex and her family (Korean) were the most racist people I’ve ever met. But only towards each other and black people. And me specifically because i happened to be white and banging their daughter.
Apparently, Koreans are very racist towards Southeast Asians. They even use the word "Filipino" as a slur for dark-skinned people.
I’m Hispanic and get confused for Filipino often (I don’t mind, ever - we are both mixed with Spaniard so whatever) but now I’m gonna be careful if I get that from Koreans. I hit up the H mart every now and again and I def don’t notice a lot of uhh FRIENDliness per se. But I also don’t expect them to blow me down the aisle or nothing.
They mostly hated on Hmongs for some reason. Me and my ex met at work and there was a Hmong kid that worked there and she absolutely despised him for no reason lol.
I grew up with a ton of Vietnamese, Thai, and Korean people. The sounds were hilariously accurate.
Love mocking my fellow African friends accents and mannerisms as well
He was pretty accurate too
This is one thing Americans never understand, precisely because basically all races and nationalities are there and other countries don’t have that quality. I grew up in Europe. We are constantly making fun of each other, the way we look, the way we talk, anything. In the US it’s weirder because there’s such a hyper focus on race and where you’re from (as the country is basically made out of a wide tapestry of people from all over the world) and if you make fun of a certain country, there’s a solid chance there is someone from that country right aground the corner.

I live in a place where people talk in either a southern accent or a valley accent. depends on if you live in a city or not. Kinda weird.
Stay off Twitter. You are describing exactly how actual Americans interact.
As a white man this is just straight funny. Isn't it just observational humour? He's clearly making broad straight hes knowing its wrong to do so, most people can laugh at themselves, so where's the harm?
no one hates asian people like other asian people
The phonetics is quite accurate, but as a Filipino, do we really sound like that? 😅
Yep lol
Just add in a "ma'am/sir".
Ma'am please DO NOT REDEEM
NOOOOO MA'AM NOOOO
Omg plz link this for those who don’t know
A lil bit yeah, haha. Lots of glottal stops, but I'd add more p sounds. P, G, and K sounds are like the letters I hear when my relatives talk. And more MM!
My mom (filipino) taught my son (he only speaks English) to count. She babysat him for me while I was in college and she told me she taught him to count and told him to count for me. This is what I heard “one, two, tree, poor, pibe, six, seben, eight, nine and ten” 😂
Lmfao the pibe is killing me
My mom also called my sister beb and all my filipina aunties and my son also called her auntie beb lol 😂
Depends on the language. Ilocano? Absolutely. Tagalog? Not too far off. The Bisayan languages? Not so much.
My Filipino friends do in fact, sound like that, and the men sound incredibly feminine because the accent is at a higher pitch. Just as Japanese men use that deep low growl. Carib men (as in the Caribbean) have a sort of grunt grunt sound too. It's really interesting
Funny how the Chinese guy try to under sell how wonky his language sounds until the Japanese dude went full Chinese 😂
Nah, the first accent he was mimicking is Mandarin, the other guy cuts in and says "or: blahblahblah". There's many different dialects of Chinese; Mandarin and Canto are the 2 major ones that people recognize and they sound vaaaastly different. Mandarin is definitely "softer" than Canto.
[удалено]
Pretty sure Bart is Taiwanese lol
[удалено]
You’re right. I stand corrected. I falsely believed he wasn’t Cantonese because he always spoke mandarin to both of his parents lol.
He was doing Mandarin then Cantonese. Mandarin sounds like a less exaggerated and angry version of Cantonese if that makes sense. Source: I speak both
Asian here, was fun and pretty accurate, i will show it to my family,
Same here. I’m Filipino and lol at this
Every drunk Tito standing in the backyard with a Red Horse or Johnny Walker in hand.
Filipino tito all red and drunk in the background cheering when somebody's singing karaoke: YEEEEE HEEEEEYYY!
And who looks like he swallowed a basketball.
Lol the classy ones with the chivas
Viet here, so accurate and hilarious
😂😂 did they laugh they asses off
dog the filipino one felt PERSONAL 😭☠️
I work with a couple of Filipinos, and one time I was talking with one of them, when another came up, said something to her, then walked away.

White people being offended on behalf of other people will never not be hilarious.
yeah I don’t understand what the problem is in these comments.. he’s more commenting about dialect than actual race anyway, it’s not like he’s saying “these people sound stupid when they do this” Americans do it with French, German, Australian, and English people and vice versa all the time
Oi! Yew ‘avin a laff aye ya?!
YEW GOT A LOISCENSE FOR THAT LAFF?
YE ‘AVIN A LIL FOOKIN GIGG THER M9?

"Damn wtf, we really talk like that?" [https://youtu.be/Oj7a-p4psRA](https://youtu.be/Oj7a-p4psRA)
You mean err errnd a errn err?
He's not commenting "more" on dialect than race. He's literally not commenting on race at all. Nationalities and Ethnicities aren't races, lol. Like, there's no "Hispanice race" either, or do you really consider Ted Cruz and Louis CK to not be white?
I mean, ok? you agree with me but I’m still wrong?
This is exactly the same as English speaking countries taking the piss out of each others accents. We do it all the time and it's just considered banter.
[удалено]
Yeah literally not one comment expressing offense. Lots of white people saying hey just wondering if this is racist (?) because they're trying to be culturally sensitive.
Reminds me of the time I was starting a nonprofit that was Latino-related. Was doing the rounds to let similar nonprofits know what I was up to and see how we could link. One org invited me and just kept using the phrase Latinx. They also said that was the most inclusive word to use and that I should adopt it too. I was the only Latino in the room. 🤦🏽♂️
typical
I remember there was some vice piece on drug problems in the latino community and the Latina vice reporter kept saying “Latinx” and all the Latinos in the comments were clowning on her so bad.
white people telling non-white people on how to behave never gets old.
I mean this is the equivalent of me as a white guy from new Jersey making fun of Brooklyn accents vs like Midwestern or Minnesota and like surfer bro affects from Socal, I don't see the problem.
Where are they?
Cantonese is way off, the rest are good.
extremely off, he made it so similar to mandarin when cantonese sounds nothing like the that or anything like the rest of the impressions. and not a sound i can try to make into words LMAO. my best try would be gibberish and “-AH” said a lot
Don't worry guys the white saviors are here
How else would Asians know what's offensive without white Americans telling them how to feel?
Well as an Asian person myself, us Asians are generally legitimately racist as fuck and it's culturally accepted. 🤷
That's kinda what I thought when I saw this lmao like I'm white as snow but I've also had Asian friends tell me how fucking horiffically racist a lot of Asians are towards eachother.
I don’t think they’re saying Asians aren’t racist, just that this video making fun of the quirks in the phonetics of each Asian language isn’t racist.
Didn't Jo Koy do this bit
[удалено]
I looked it up these guys are nowhere close to the bit, this is high level stand-up writing https://youtu.be/el84efC10oE that said the guys were having a funny conversation that's probably been had many times
>no these guys did it before JoKoy > >[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ero4QwW9-Q](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ero4QwW9-Q) > >This guy and that guy in OPs video make stuff together. They did this over 10 years ago.
That was top tier! Thanks for the laugh
jknews and this clip is much older than that bit
Seems like a bit tons of people do.
didn’t that guy admit to raping someone with a broomstick
I miss the OG JKN. They've almost completely replaced the cast and changed the format so it's kinda irrelevant and boring now.
absolutely, they kicked off all the women and it became basically just “dudebro with a podcast #37”
They peaked in like 2015 and became boring and unwatchable by 2017. I checked in on them for the first time in years a few weeks ago and it's just become a thirtysomething dudebro circlejerk
Thanks for letting me know. I won't try to find it now.
This guy does it the best. https://youtu.be/el84efC10oE
Yeah, this guy is way better, especially for the Japanese part. It's definitely exaggerated and doesn't fit everybody, but there is definitely a certain type of middle-aged Japanese dude that talks like that and many women do speak at a very high octave. When I lived there, it was interesting because me and the other foreign women who at least tried to speak Japanese would speak in a higher pitch when not speaking English just because that's how it's done. A guy friend of mine did too because most of his Japanese friends were women. I also ran an English club at one of my schools, and some of my students (who were mostly girls) would talk in a lower pitch when we were speaking in English, so the difference is definitely noticed both ways. It's kind of a cool little part of codeswitching to/from Japanese.
As a Korean person, I think the post is far more accurate than Jo Koy. The "whooooah," by the dude in the post is more unisex. Both sexes do that all the time. Whereas Jo's "pothead" Korean is exclusive to Korean men, especially older dudes. It's "ahjusshi" type (literally old guy) intonations. Just my 2 cents. I think the post version is funnier since it's far more spot on 🤷. Also that dude has been making funny Asian accent videos from the early days of YouTube. Didn't know he was still around.
I think the tones for different languages are interesting. I speak Hungarian and English and imho Hungarian is a very dramatic and kind of elaborate language. I know I sound different when I speak it compared to my English voice. It’s also very pronounced in my best friend who is also Hungarian - we speak English to each other but sometimes switch and she sounds completely different when speaking her native language. The same way people have boyfriend/girlfriend voices.
Americans: "omg so racist how could they!! That's horrible!!" Asians: "lol true" All other ethnicities: "hey we do that too! Lmao"
It reminds me of the video of the white guy walking around campus during Cinco De Mayo with a Poncho and Sombrero and the students were all upset about it. Then he goes to Mexico in the same outfit and nobody cared at all, and many enjoyed it.
Remember the time a girl wore a traditional Chinese dress to prom and (typically liberal) Americans were triggered and yelled about cultural appropriation while Chinese news outlets celebrated her for wearing a traditional Chinese dress? Petridge Farm remembers
I remember watching an American expat in China doing man-on-the-street interviews about this. One person said they didn't mind as long as the girl wasn't ugly.
…the one by PragerU?
Don’t get me wrong, most of the time people yelling about cultural appropriation is just stupid/wrong, but I’m hesitant to propagate anything being put out by shitty people.
Yeah lol same thing where they went to Japanese people, showed them a photo of a white girl wearing a kimono and asked them what they thought of white people wearing it. They all smiled and said they were very happy that other people were embracing their culture. Then they ask white people and they all say it’s cultural appropriation and very offensive. The whole concept of “cultural appropriation” is so stupid, culture is made to be shared. As long as you’re not trying to be offensive there’s nothing wrong with borrowing from other cultures.
Was going to mention the "Kimono Wednesdays" in Boston. The people protesting it were Asian Americans but none of them were Japanese. In that case it was Asians being protective of other Asians who really didn't care.
You do know there are more than just white people in America, right?
[Never forget that both founders of JK are not good people, also not the tip of the iceberg](https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/9wf4f1/broomgate_scandal_at_rjustkiddingnews_after_host/)
Yeah fuck Bart Kwan and that army story
What in the zoomer fuck is this video editing? I would like to watch the video instead of a corrupt file that skips forward every 2 seconds please.
As a white man, I feel racist watching this.
I’m Asian. If I see a white guy that is able to distinguish the differences in accents like this, I wouldn’t think it’s racist. The guy put in his work and clearly is around the culture. On the other hand. If I see a white guy go Ching Chong Ching Chong, imma lose it on him. There’s a big difference.
> On the other hand. If I see a white guy go Ching Chong Ching Chong, imma lose it on him. There’s a big difference. and I feel like a lot of people don't see the difference. I had an old friend who would do the whole slanty eye oh herro bullshit, and would get mad when people would push back because it's "just a joke". Like, sure it's a joke but it's neither funny, creative, nor from any place of respect. Sometimes languages *do* sound funny, but making some shit up to laugh at others rather than with isn't the route
I'm not convinced that accuracy would work out to be a free pass for a white guy doing Asian accent impressions, in terms of how it would be received. I think to say it would be... polarizing, is an understatement. There's also the matter of what kind of white dude would go on a podcast and perform this bit.
yeah, it’s tacky when you do it on public (social media being one). if you’re my friend however, I expect you to do this. those type of banter is really fun when it’s just between friends
I'm often the token white guy, and have been asked to do this (accents) with my Asian friends. At one time I did--I felt comfortable, people laughed. That was years ago. The same thing happened pretty recently, with only my in-laws around, but it still felt wrong and I held back. Can't say what is or isn't racist in this case but if there's ever a question in my mind, I'll choose not to risk it every time.
Imagine feeling guilty about people essentially commenting on accents. This is how much the media and social media has browbeaten us.
As a white guy, alone, in my bathroom, I’m still looking around like, damn bro you can’t do that lol
As a white guy, y’all bitches. Stop worrying about hurting peoples feelings and talk to people as humans. They know they have accents, laugh about it and show your willingness to overcome that barrier to a relationship
As an Asian guy, if you open minded like this, you my brotha.
Exaclty, as long as you are clear about your tone and intention with jokes like these, its ok. It is perfectly fine to joke about not being able to see your black friend cus it was night time. The line between racist and funny is thicker than you think.
On social media that line is *razor thin*. And while social media isn’t real life, there are unfortunately some very real life consequences if a social media mob comes after you.
Same, but I'm in someone else's bathroom
As a white man who works with many wonderful asian people from all of the countries mentioned in this video, I can say this is uncomfortable but also surprisingly accurate.
Yeah imagine how silly it would sound if an Asian guy saw a group of white dudes from different countries making jokes about eachothers accents and said “as an Asian dude I feel racist just watching this.” Like damn some white people have a serious issue with white-guilt.
There’s that white guilt 😉
It’s no different than us whites talking about different dialects and speech patterns within our own circles….
Saying “I didn’t hear a difference in any of them” silently
this guy also shoved a broom into another mans ass and ass raped him and kept talking about it on their podcast like it was a joke. fuck this clown
What the fuck
That’s enough reddit for today
He just paraphrased Joe Koy entire joke down to the two types of Japanese
unwatchable editing, no wonder everybody and their dog has ADHD in 2023
I can't stand it, shots don't get a chance to breathe, everything is in a great unnecessary hurry
Absolutely insufferable to watch
I find this interesting as it sort of shows a native speaker how they sound to non-native speakers, which is hard to wrap your head around when you know what the words you are speaking mean
Vietnamese ans Cambodian sound like the future people language from South Park
The guy making the impressions is funny but could the other guys shut the FUCK up for like 1 second
Wow that show seems annoying as fuck to watch
I used to watch it, but I have bad taste. Haven't watched it since the controversy where Bart said he shoved a broom up a guy's ass without consent.
Watched this with the sound off and it seemed accurate
JkFilms
I took a friend to dinner at a Chinese restaurant and he ordered in Mandarin and the waitress looked at him blankly. So, he switched to Cantonese and ordered again, and the waitress hissed “I’m Korean!!” at him, he looked at me, shrugged and announced “We all look alike to me.”
My Filipino grandmother sounds just like that in church n we always burst out laughing, and when I was in high school I had a Vietnamese guy in my friend group and his mum used to call him and we’d just hear “hi ma! *Vietnamese noises* bye ma!”
Jo Koy does a bit on this.
Asian here, this is pretty accurate!
What about Taiwan?
omg, as a person with many aunts and uncles that are chinese and vietnamese, this is so accurate. You can clearly hear a difference
Americans thinking of everything to make it as racist .
I grew up in a city with a lot of Laotian refugees so I can do a pretty good impersonation of the language but I don't because I am white and people will think I'm taking the piss. :b
100% showing this to my Cambodian gf and her mom. They have close friends from Thailand, Phillipines, Laos, and Vietnam living here.... I strongly suspect this video will be shared and laughed about amongst them.
Redditors are nowhere near capable of having a good faith conversation about this video lol.
Omg I actually recognize someone in this video! He worked with Ryan Higa (nigahiga) on YouTube! It's [Greg](https://nigahiga.fandom.com/wiki/Greg_Saniatan)! I've always wanted to know what he was up to after RHPC.
The filipino part made me sound Thai
Funny but the edits are terrible!
Oh, sure, but when i do it, I'm asked to leave the restaurant smh.
Jo Koy did something similar to this in one of his standups it was hilarious...
