My buddy is also a Laotian doctor who works in Texas. He told me many people mention to him his English is very good. He says to them, "so is yours." Great video!!
Born in US, but I spoke only Greek until I went to school. Also went to Greek school so I am proficient in Greek. When I went to college the requirement was having a second language. I went to the Dean and explained, in perfect English, that I had a second language: English. That surprised him but he recovered and said then I needed to take a proficiency test in my first language, Greek, to meet the second language requirement. So I did. Easiest exam I ever took.
Sabaidee Dr. Viengsouk Phommachanh Sao Lao here and as soon as i saw your name i had to click on your show. It gave me so much Lao pride. That's awesome you're a Lao doctor, comedian, and from FL. My parents were refugees from Laos 🇱🇦 & actually had an arranged marriage here in FL. Then they had me so I became the 1st generation to be born & raised in sunny central FL. My mom was from a family of 5 kids & my dad from a family of 14 kids. So the big family stereotype about Lao people are true lol. Can't wait to hear more of your jokes they're very wholesome.
@@Adscam the country is pronounced Lao. The "s" at the end is silent. Some Lao people and non Lao people will use the politically correct term (which was created by America), "Laotian". But "Lao" is the accurate word to describe someone who is from Laos or of Lao ethnicity.
I'm hmong and I'm proud of my Laotian brother here for not just being a Dr, but most importantly, a comedian, which goes against asian norms, mainly, asian parent's wishes for their kids.
@@MonaLisa-de4cp I went to Hanoi doing missionary work. Drug rehab centers and orphanages. Then we were invited up to Sapa and I just loved it - all Hmong people! I wrote a song, "Vachu waka chow. Lengzi ka yo du oa, zhun gungow. Vachu waka chow, waka chow." I don't know if that makes sense... but it was a favorite of the Hmong people of Sapa while I was there. At the time i was ready to stay and live there!
@@blessedwithchallenges9917 I love that! That is such awesome work!! Thank you so much! I'm reading each word phonetically and trying to make sense of them and I got it. Thank you, Father God, for making everything good/beautiful! I can picture everyone singing. I would've loved to have learned your song and sung along. ❤️🙏

This is what happened to my daughter :) Due to certain circumstances, our Family's first language is English. We are South Indian and moved to Canada from India. When we did, our daughter was put into ESL. I had to go to the school a few times to explain why she should not be in ESL. She was seven and writing in perfect cursive as well. The teacher told her to go back to writing in print, because the other kids couldn't understand what she was writing. :( Love seeing comedians like this who share their stories.
I will very much enjoy following you, Vien Phommachanh. Just my kind of humor. 💕 (American gal who's worked entire adult life in the P.I., S.K., China and the M.E..)
Black. African. Came to the US when I was 20. Grew up speaking English. And had the same exact situation when I tried to sign up for college. This entire conversation (paraphrased) *was in English.* Her: so you're going to have to take a ESL. Me (my stepdad was a university professor here, so I knew what ESL was): uh, no I don't. Her: When you come from a foreign country you have to take ESL, it's a requirement so that people who don't natively speak English can learn the language and improve their understanding of all the other subjects. Me: First of all, English is not my second language, it's my fifth, and I probably speak it better than you do. Second. Do you see the high school certificate in front of you. There is an A there for English. Do you see that there is also an A for English Literature. In fact, for all nine subjects on that certificate, in which I passed all of them, I was tested in English. Additionally, I have Pitman's certificates including one for Business English. I will not be taking English as a Second Language when i've only ever had As in English since 3rd grade. (2nd grade my brother and I (twins) were not proficient in English. We only did 2nd grade for one term and were promoted to 3rd grade the next term, and were were caught up on English by the end of the year.) Her: Um, uh ... ok. You're going to have to take a test. I literally finished that English proficiency test in 5 minutes
A friend of mine was complimented by her University professors for her excellent English. We are from the English speaking caribbean. English is literally our first language.
@@gemmeldrakes2758I get that. People from Countries who were once influenced by the United Kingdom . . . Back in the day the sun never set on it . . . . Yeah Americans just don't get how English can be a first and main language from countries not America/or British.
Thank you I don't remember when I burst out laughing like this... "I need to cut out one of these organs" Laughing is therapeutic and healing. You are doing important work on many levels, bless your ❤
I'm from a Chinese family. One of my cousins who was born in Australia to two Chinese parents was put in an English as a Second Language class just because of her Chinese background. She grew up in Australia with English as her first language. Crazy!
My martial arts instructor is Laotian and part of the adult first belt test is correstly spelling his last name! Those lessons were many years ago - I now look my 68 years of age - he still looks like the smart 20 something yr old!
Bahahaha I’m Polish and go by Ms. J. I, too, am an instructor and told my students I’d extend their assignment if they could spell my last name correctly. It’s 10 letters. They did not get an extension 😂
😅😅😅😅😅 *They did that to me in HS too. Because I moved from another country they assumed, and not just English but other subjects like math too. I didn’t say anything and chilled for the longest time until the teachers realized “Why are you even in this class?” But my classmates were the coolest though. No regret*
Same haha It's the oddest thing honestly. Remember those English proficiency tests we would have to take? I was taking college English in High School and they still got me doing these random English test in the principal's office.
As a Floridian, I was wheezing at his description of the spaghetti model. You know that notepad they have near the art supplies, so you can test out colored pencils before you buy them, and there's always somebody who has to test every single one? At the end of the day, the head of the art supply department in Hobby Lobby tears that piece of paper off the pad and sends it to the local meteorologists, who recycle it as a means of weather prediction. Hand to God.
You've come to me wanting to know the future and I'll give you 47 possibilities and you'll never remember them all, and if you're happy in the end I'll be a mystical hero and if you're sad in the end you'll be too busy with your grief to remember me.
Great performance, thank you so much! I love those performances from people of different cultural origin, it's always super interesting and insightful!
One of the 8 organs! That was well timed. Had a great laugh . Laughter is the BEST MEDICINE. Actually you are practising medicine on stage. Keep up this good work Dr. Regards from India.
@@Vinemaple Why are you making this a race thing by mentioning a white person would say this? Most white ppl I know would ue the Kung Fu line because it's FUNNY; indeed most ppl I know of every race, would also use this line because it's FUNNY....which is why I'm guessing the good doctor also used it because it's FUNNY. Good comedy is generally funny to people from every country because so many things in this world are universally hilarious.
Vien, you are fantastic. I loved your comedy. Your family's adventures must have been a hoot. By the way, I live in Jacksonville, FL...maybe I can see you here someday. Best to you and yours.
Im an immigrant kid who went to a welcoming class and that's where i met Laotians for the first time!! Haven't seen one since. The year was 1991 and we were a class of 11 freshly landed immigrants and to this day i remember the distribution: 2 Laotian girls (they invited me to go skating with them, but I had no skates) 2 Polish girls (one was giving away silver-like bracelets which totally dazzled me, like, wow she must be rich!) 2 Romanian girls (kept to themselves, sort of accepted me sometimes) 3 boys from Vietnam (played soccer and kept to themselves) 1 boy from El Salvador and 1 girl from Brazil (she was like, 11, but literally like a telenovella character, she was mooning over the El Salvadorian who was a year older than us all, played soccer, and the girl would cry about him w some other girls standing around trying to console her. My language was still poor sonI never understood how was it that he broke her heart, 😅LOL) 1 girl from Lebanon i think, Aisha, gave me a little 🧸 teddy that i kept to this day (somewhere in a box in the basement) 1 boy from Kuwait (tall and blond, the weirdest thing) 1 of me, from a country that shall not be named.
. OMG!!! This guy is great. I may have to replace my keyboard... I had just taken a sip of Coke and BAM !!!... it was all over my desk. Do not drink anything when Vien is talking. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This gentleman is awesome. One of my first supervisors was Laotian. He was very serious, but he always worked hard and I appreciated his example. He also has a very long last name. I still remember it, but don't want to share out of respect for privacy.
yes, i see a lot of that. i’m from a neighbouring country that also got bombed by Americans (for no reason- truly, we were just some neutral countries that neighbour Vietnam) Took my parents years to loosen up after assimilating in the west- but yes- hardest workers i know. i totally get it and appreciate this comment!
@04:26 Funny as hell. I worked in a company were we had a Thai guy, our username was like 1st letter of 1st name followed by last name. We tried to put that in and it was too long;
Very funny Kore…I mean Laotian! Incorporating racism, parental judgment, and his medical job into these solid jokes with such dry sense of humor. BRAVO!!! I hope he keeps mining his job for comedy.
Great job doc! 😂. Best one: The audience was siding with your parents and didn't laugh😅. You just made a German (me) laugh- which is THE hardest thing to do.
Brilliant 😂 Looking forward to more! But also, I looked up the meaning of your name, and you LIE!!! 😂 "Phommachanh : Laotian: ornamental name composed of the Lao elements phom ma 'the absolute deity' and chanh 'moon'." Dude. Srsly? That's even funnier, tbh. 😂🤣👏👏👏💖✨️
I’m ready to move to Florida just to get you for my doctor. You do crack me up a lot so I guess I do need a doctor right. Great timing great lines great routine thank you
Second cousin to this: As an employee of a large state school, I used to take various foreign language classes in their Evening College. In every single one, the majority of the students were people who already spoke that language at home. They were taking the class for the easiest possible credit. Given that these were always immersion classes, all they had to do was go to class and speak the language they would have been speaking at home anyway. The German class was full of German speakers. The Spanish class was full of Spanish speakers. The Japanese class was full of Japanese speakers. And on and on and on.
Omg, they did thay too me too! I was being taught how to speak the language i DIDNT know. An when i cried, i remember the teacher being frustrated with me, grabbed a caramel candy (the one with that cartoon bear on it; i remember becuase i loved this candies when i was little) and, instead giving me the candy, she ate it and gave me the wrapper to wipe my tears instead. I was SO confused of why i had to be there, lol!!
Personally know two Army officers of Hispanic heritage who had bad reports because they were chosen on their names for translation missions when neither spoke any Spanish.
A doctor and a comedian? His patients are so lucky because “laughter is the best medicine” and they can have both.
😊❤
Funny how little post surgical patients appreciate really funny jokes...😂😂
Ha ha. That's a good one. How well put 🤣
At least until they show up to his show.
Well, he's not funny, so he should stick to just medicine.
My buddy is also a Laotian doctor who works in Texas. He told me many people mention to him his English is very good. He says to them, "so is yours." Great video!!

@@Adscam the country is pronounced Lao. The "s" at the end is silent. Some Lao people and non Lao people will use the politically correct term (which was created by America), "Laotian". But "Lao" is the accurate word to describe someone who is from Laos or of Lao ethnicity.

I was laughing so loud my parents came up and asked if I was okay
😊
Omg, they did thay too me too! I was being taught how to speak the language i DIDNT know. An when i cried, i remember the teacher being frustrated with me, grabbed a caramel candy (the one with that cartoon bear on it; i remember becuase i loved this candies when i was little) and, instead giving me the candy, she ate it and gave me the wrapper to wipe my tears instead. I was SO confused of why i had to be there, lol!!

To be fair to Bob, I’m sure his parents chose his name to enhance his dancing abilities.
Bob is short for Robert which comes from the German Hrodebert which means "Bright Fame".
This is what I needed to hear, I was already in a happy mood and this guy just topped it off, hope to see more of your clips in the future 👍
Thank you so much 😊
What a strong name and funny as heck!
Personally know two Army officers of Hispanic heritage who had bad reports because they were chosen on their names for translation missions when neither spoke any Spanish.
This guy killed. If only I could find his Instagram lol
