I just got to know Bassem through his recent legendary interview with Morgan, in which he destroyed him by the way. He’s truly a well educated knowledgeable human. Huge respect ❤
Me too!❤
exactly
Me three hehehe
Same with me
Same here
Who’s here after Bassem’s interview with Piers Morgan? 😂
Me😂😂
Good question! Next question please! You may guess!😜😁
😂😂😂 🙋🏾♂️
@@martinger.becker1614is Hamas Muslim? 😅
@@NubaNarmer What are you going to expect me to answer? 😁 I suppose, no need to answer that question, you may find the answer to that one, by yourself? Won't you?
“If you’re in a democracy be prepared to hear something you don’t like”. ~ Bassem
Bassem Youssef is much loved and respected ! ❤
What Bassem said it true. I bought a used car from an Iranian guy in Fresno, ca. and when I met up to look at the car, he actually had to tell me he was from Iran BUT he was not radical Muslim. WTF? I told him I didn’t give a shit where he was from or his beliefs. I just was interested in his car for sale. So, the fact that he felt he needed to say that. Wow. End story, great guy, I bought the vehicle and it was a transaction with trust on both sides and was perfect. Great guy
These two guys are top notch , very funny and smart 🎉🙏
We've come a long way since 2000
@@claudelebel49 social media or let’s call it free media has a lot to do with that. It’s very refreshing to have options rather than being brainwashed with controlled government or lobbyist media
"You weren't born in India"... hahaha! Maz and Bassem are fantastic.
Baseem's laughter is infectious!
Bassim kills it in all languages,, Respect 😀
Aside from being brilliant and funny and much-needed in this world right now, he also happens to be the most handsome Egyptian man since Omar Sharif. :)
Nancy Bevilaqua dont forget about Rami Malek
He looks cool too (I didn't know he was Egyptian as well!), but Bassem still wins on looks. :) Helwa wa aroob wa gamil (trying to remember some Arabic, but it's not working very well!).
Hmmm.. no he’s not.
@rosebahdi811 عمر الشريف مصريا ولم يكن فى يوم لبنانيا
He is so Handsome.
Two of my favorite comedians in an event!
So happy Maz said that comedians are supposed to make fun of those with power, not victims. This is something that some white American male comedians don't seem to get when you hear these jokes about rape and not even making fun of the rapist but the joke is on the victim and if you raise your voice as a woman to critique it, we're basically told to shut up and will be ridiculed and called names. So good on you Maz. You're one of the male comedians who gets it. :)
Spot on.
victims can be funny too
100%
Im a fan of both..this is gold for me!
Great humor :D An awesome talk between two very intelligent and progressive people.
Thank you guys. Love you both
i love this guy
bassem
Two very talented people from two ancient countries, which have deep and glorious history and culture, escaped from their homeland to find peace and freedom in another part of the world. Why is that? Why do countries like Iran, Egypt, and others, which had the biggest civilizations in the past, have to suffer from autocratic governments? What is the cause?
Iran has a noble and proud history and culture and civilization. The world today needs true and sincere muslims, who are proud of their wonderful religion in these confusing and perverted times, where humanity is mixing right and wrong, and anti religious beliefs are making way for immoralities.
Their Religion is not wonderful, its the most effective brainwashing tool to ever exist to this day.
However this doesn't mean that muslims are bad people because they follow it .
Its a complicated matter but getting brainwashed all of your life in to false ideas and beliefs puts you in an automatic defensive mode because that is all we know.
This is coming from an egyptian ex muslim. Trust me Look into it and it would not take long before you realize that you have been fooled into believing that its wonderful and flawless.
@@sherifelgharib2924 Why is it false?
@@sherifelgharib2924you are a self hating x Muslim who knows nothing about Islam and Islam doesn’t need people like you
Bassem is underrated
it would be hilarious if Bassem one day told John Stewart that hes also an aspiring builder and he has a plan for a new pyramid in LA and was wondering if John could help him with that.
The two people I admire are in one video🤩
Yes, Respect and availability of respectable job this is traditional thinking for people going to the state
Maz is awesome!
2013 100 most influential in the world. he influenced his own people to overthrow the first democratic government in 7000... great work Bassiiim!!!
He could have influenced them to overthrow the military as well but the oppressing regime couldn't handle even two episodes of his satire show. So Bassim had integrity and refused to comply and preferred exile to America over staying in Egypt and changing his hard line on the existing regime whatever it is
Well done 👏
Oh my two favourites greeting from Egypt
dude the guy with the mustache is from Iran..
LordElites we all know dude
great talk, thanks a lot
The community thing is true for a lot of other Asian groups too lol.
"You weren't born in India"... hahaha! Maz and Bassem are fantastic.
First time I sow him was on donut shop, and I knew he would be funny. OMG he is helerous.
i am here also😂
the "titelism" you can find easily in Italy (more south, more title) , as well in Austria (Rat, Geheimrat=Consigliere= secret advisor)
thanks Maz
Maz we love you
47:51 i thought he was gonna assassinate somebody lol
XD ..LOL and the camera is the gun ..
you made my day lol
holy shit that was surprising
the creepy smile he made before the holds the camera up 😭
good catch KGB
If we all realize that we are on this earth temporarily and this earthly life is temporary..and we all realize we are spiritual being and we all end up as spirits in the next life..maybe we won't care so much about all these..and instead we realize as human beings really we are as one..because we're spiritual beings and we all end up in the next life as spirits and next life doesn't care about the things we care about in this world..the main reason we are here as a whole is to work on our spirits and be ready for the next life..just knowing that will us realize that we really are as one..and the ultimate one that makes a decision of our soul and destiny will be God in the next life! And that is the most important thing to realize that..nothing else matters but our goal of making it to heaven in the next life..and religion has come to unite us .but is not here to divide us..cause all religions are from God and really there's no difference..the only difference is that they came at different times and different places..therefore the rules are progressive according to the requirements of time
I love the community consciousness mentality the the middle East.
like the humor of them both
Piers, why do you interrupt your interviewee if his answer doesn't align with yours? Let him educate the audience
Dynamic duo
One of my earliest Belly Dance teachers is from Iran who went back home.
💜💯
The Mohandes is so true😂
يامشرفنا
Love ❤️ both of you♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🇨🇦🇮🇷
Strange moment to kiss 🤔 24:05
it was cute
EngPMgt I think its cute too they look like a happy couple I wish them the best
Might be that they were talking about something else.
That lady is irresistible! She over powered him with magnetic appeal.
I did not understand that kiss
nawroz is not only a persian new year .. it's kurds new year too. or Arian new year. but not only persian.
Niaz Shah it’s Hindhu new year too
Nowruz is older than the formation of most if not all countries. It's also been celebrated in some Eastern European communities too. It belongs to the ancient practice of celebrating Spring among Indo-Europeans. It's called the Persian New Year cause Iranian people (Persians, Kurds, Lurs, Azeris, …) kept it alive. Persian is just an umbrella term for all those ethnicities.
2023 still relevant
Comedians may be more informative that Journalist, but at the same time them like journalist have their ideas and books to sell. You may notice it they all bring their books to promote, and they are part of the entertainment industry,
Its the way of the world, otherwise how can they be "professional speakers" and spent time on their ideas and thought if they dont have the funding and the free time to do so.
U know the gotta feed their family too. They're not plants
I’m a white girl who knows how to Belly Dance! 😂😂😂
24:05 Shout out to my boy here
my tow favourite
Maz is funny
Some people think 911 was done by America but i don't..we dont know..
I’ve heard the “It’s a Chuck Norris movie” explanation several times. It’s not all right to perpetuate stereotypes on film projects. I’m convinced that’s where uneducated Trump supporters form their opinions…in addition to FOX news, of course.
Yeah Saffron!
Still funny in 2023
Ok. They later address this and I have no issues. Shouldn't have commented before the end.
Here after Bassam ruined Piers Morgan
🙏👆👌✌️🌹
Love 💕 your spirits
(( MMMD ℹ 🇺🇸👁❤️👧👦🌎ℹ️🔑🇱🇧) ℹ
With no Arabic substitute.. great.
You mean subtitles?
Love these guys but at 27:00 ish there is a false equivalence regarding being offended. The reactions are substantially different.
Basem "like" yousef
🇵🇸💔
Iran is now Canada! 😂
Isfahan in Iran has the 2nd largest group of jews outside Israel so I cannot understand
The situation in Syria is serious if you are an activist from Syria, does that make you seriously Syrian or Syrianly serious 😂
Jobrani can get boring immediately. But the Jordan speaking English is funny because the middleast speaks more English than Arabic now.
harverd😍
Piers Morgan ❤
Isnt it funny as we humans naturally do not want to face cruelty and inhumanity. Just turn to comedy. A simple human reaction. Unlike the bloodthirsty inhumane cruelty that we are faced with
6 years later, nothing happened 😂
There’s a difference between a comedian and a clown
Maz is funny, but sad to see him be ashamed of his roots, instead of owning them. Hope he gets out of his inferiority complex and owns his religion also, otherwise, what's the point of basing his routine on his Iranian ethnicity, if he is basically rejecting everything Iranian in his life..
S K Iran itself rejected Zoroastrians and Uprooted their proud history and turned to foreign faith that way Maz is better
lol they both give me inferiority complex vibes
This woman is appalling 😮
باسم

Do yourself a favor and educate yourself :) Might help on your struggle
there is a translation feature on youTube i do not need education
خر وات مليد ايست

Egypt is now in the Middle East? Is river Nile also in the Middle East? Soon 🔜 Africa will be in the Middle middle 😂
This guy is so sketch !!!!!
Bassem, you need to work on your English, man. You've been living in the US for too long.
If you can understand him, then does not matter.
maz is not honest in his jokes even.
trying to polish iran image is one thing
but tarnish the arabs one is different thing.
self hating muslims
you obviously didn't watch the video then.
next time, get the information then put on your opinion.
Yes? A role in a movie. Or did you think movies were news clips?
"You weren't born in India"... hahaha! Maz and Bassem are fantastic.
