The thing about survival in the end hit me. My dad has a difficult name to pronounce, and when I went back and looked at his yearbook from the 70s in NorCal they change his name in it to Herbert on some pages and Michael on others. He told me at jobs they would call him Mikey. And this may seem silly but on the Netflix loading screen our accounts are separated by name and his was under “Haruto” as a joke for years until around last year when I changed it to Humberto and I told him that his name deserves to be correct. It’s small, but his whole life he had to survive with American people saying things like “dumb Mexican can’t even spell his name right” (verbatim what he told me they’d say). My name has always been easy to pronounce, it’s something I definitely take for granted. I’ve noticed my dad using his real name in places with people he’s never met, and it makes me happy. My dad deserves to live too.
Just a tack on: My dad is indigenous, he was brought to America almost solely for that reason alone. So he’s darker and already couldn’t relate to “every other Mexican in California” at the time. His culture was different. His language was different. He was alone. He had to survive for us. He’s such a rad dude I’m so glad to have him.
Humberto isn't that bad that. It's not super common but I've heard it before. Maybe cause I lived in Texas for a while but it doesn't seem like people should have any problem pronouncing that.
I’m not trying to sound ignorant but how is Humberto hard to pronounce? Is it not completely phonetic ? I’ve never heard the name before but I assume it’s said as it’s spelt ? (Keeping the h silent of course)
Shauna Kelly absolutely! It is mostly phonetic! And very easy to pronounce in the grand scheme of names, which is why it is so stupefying how people straight up refused to pronounce it correctly. They’d rather change his name then try to say it right, to them it wasn’t even worth the effort.
After hearing Hasan's take on his name, especially in that Vanity Fair interview, I have been more strict with my name pronunciation with people. Before, after 3 mess ups, I would let it go to save time and frustration but now, nah, my name matters and I matter. Its Clerbie, get it right!
May name is Gaelic, and people ALWAYS. SAY. IT. WRONG. Even if I've corrected them before, they will still say it wrong. If I've already corrected a person on my name more than 10 times (given that they aren't older, or have problems with stuff like that), I either say their name wrong or don't respond when they say my name worng.
As someone who's always had "two names" my whole life, that last part of the video where he talks about the difference between surviving and living really got me. It's something that someone with a "western" name in a western country may never think about. But it does make a difference when you use your true name. When people make an effort of pronouncing it correct. Maybe it's time we start to live instead of just surviving.
Yeah especially since Americans have never been known to “take Asian names” or whatever. Even if it’s a little uncommon, people at least try to pronounce it.
Hearing this I am scared to become an immigrant. Should I just not go. Because I just don't want to survive, I want to live. If you're an Indian who is an immigrant can answer my question, it would be of great help.
I love this, I was actually sad and kind of mad at myself for not knowing how to pronounce your name properly when you first corrected Ellen, then I looked back and realized even you had been mispronouncing your own name for a while and it made me very sad that you felt you had to do that. If we can learn how to pronounce buttigieg respectfully then why the hell is Hasan Minhaj so hard? I'm very happy that you corrected Ellen and that you continue to proudly say your given name no matter who still says it incorrectly.
I work in a multinational company and after that episode with Ellen, I now make an effort to call my Indian colleagues based on how they accentuate their name. I felt so embarrassed that I have been saying their names wrong until then.
Phonetically his name is pronounced Has-San not Hus-Sen. So it’s not incorrect. If he wants to be called Hussen he needs to change the spelling. Everyone in the UK who has the name name are called HAS-SAN.

I love that Bashir said, “I’m sorry Mom,” while talking. You could see in the clip that his mom looked like she hates ThanksGiving because of his conversations.
I feel the name pronunciation bit so hard, especially with the parents generation. When my dad emigrated to America in the late 70s, he thought "Abdelrahman" would be too hard for Americans to say, so he chose another easier-to-pronounce grandfather's name for his surname, which he *still* chose to mispronounce to make it easier to say. That is now my surname, and that of my siblings, brothers kids, etc. and the whole family continues to mispronounces it the same way. When I went off to college and felt like I could have a fresh start in a new place, I started pronouncing my surname properly, and my immediate family thought it was pretentious of me. And this doesn't even begin to go into the mispronunciations I deal with my given name. I can't win. But I can appreciate Hasan's explanation of the generational thing @18:15. 1st gen immigrants worry about survival and assimilation. 2nd gen struggle with identity and want to re-assert our culture and languages.
@Jatin Bangar it's not the CAA in isolation, even though even in isolation it's not "no big deal" the exclusion of Muslims is extremely dangerous and the fact that the Act designates people by their religion at all is a matter of questionable constitutionality. The*real* problem, however, is the inevitable implementation of nationwide NRC, which combined with this would make it inordinately harder for Muslim immigrants and poor Muslim citizens to get/prove their citizenship. At which point you have a bunch of disenfranchised, non-citizen Muslims with not a lot of enforceable rights in a political climate where Muslims are demonized and dehumanized. What do you think will happen? #stopCAA #noNRC
@Jatin Bangar there will still be people who deserve to be on the NRC who will be left out. (poor people with no generational wealth/home ownership are disproportionately left out of the census) Also, maybe we don't have to exclude anyone at all? Immigrants weren't really a problem in India before the BJP made it into one to drum up more communal sentiment (since the damn temple's being built now, so they can't use that.) We could just... Not let them do that? Let people exist?
@Jatin Bangar except that a lot of poor uneducated people do not own property and do not have proper documents. Doesn't mean they deserve to be rendered stateless.
Okay you're moving the goalposts here. Your original point was that this was no big deal. Now you admit that the BJP's plan targets Muslims but only "illegal immigrants" and "terrorists". Anyway, here's the facts. 1. They do pay taxes. Income taxes are deducted from their checks. GST and other point of sale taxes are paid when they purchase goods. That's money that India is getting, without providing them with any of the welfare benefits that are only available to citizens. They are literally giving India free money. 2. They don't steal *our* jobs. They are employed in precarious, underpaid conditions. That cheap labour actually helps local economies, since citizens don't want to do it and someone has to. 3. "illegal" does not mean immoral. The law can be wrong. 4. Muslim citizens who are too poor to furnish the necessary proof of citizenship *can and will* be mislabeled. To suggest otherwise is wilful ignorance. 5. I have more. There are more recorded cases of cow vigilantism-related mob lynchings in India this year than they are of Islamic terrorism.
I love The Office, but I have to agree - it’s a pretty depressing show. Remember when Michael showed up to the high school and didn’t have the college tuition he promised them? That just turned my world grey for a few days.
The Office was born as pretty much dark comedy. I mean, that’s just comedy in Europe and it isn’t even that dark, but for Americans it’s bleak and depressing. Kind of like Miracle Workers, except I feel Miracle Workers was being forced to have a happy ending. Which is fine, but the first few episodes are really funny BECAUSE they’re kind of dark. The last 2 episodes it’s like... yeah, ok. I don’t like it when a screenwriter has to pull a happy ending by the hair, but it was ok.
@The Elite I don't think it's about Americans being particularly sensitive, I think it's that they're really rigid with genres. As for comedy needing to be dumb and light-hearted, I'm not mad about it. Sometimes I actually do appreciate stuff that just gives me time out from real life issues. Which is why I used to really love dramatic movies and stuff you might deem depressing, but now I don't. Reality is already ugly and depressing enough, I don't need to be depressed during escapism as well.
Captain Magee I agree; that was a depressing episode that I still cringe to think about today. I like a dark comedy, though. The episode was a further illustration of how much damage a narcissistic person like Michael, who has a pathological need for approval (and very little ability to take responsibility for his actions), can do. It kind of reminded me of the series finale of “Seinfeld”. A lot of people hated it, but let’s face it, the characters were terrible people. We usually laughed at how awful they were, just like we usually laughed at Michael. Michael’s ineptitude at leadership and narcissism could be entertaining, but the depressing part was how much so many of us can relate to a history of terrible bosses or jobs. “The Office” was great because it was about finding the humor, camaraderie and small victories in life that make it worth living, in spite of the drudgery of adulthood.
That alien take was the least hot of hot takes. In the infinite universe, the probability of life existing outside of us is pretty high. That "apex predators are rare so it makes sense why bigfoot is rare", tigers are apex predators, we know they exist

@@andersonneil2293 The Universe is expanding but not Infinite, there's no way if incase the Higgs boson theory is as we all believe it is accurate. Also even after reading about the Study by Students of Uni. of Texas who said that Its size cannot be bigger than 250 times.. I had to recalculate it to know its actually
@@Shaaan infinite and expanding are not mutually exclusive. Honestly, the point still stands even if there is an edge to the universe. There are around 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe, each galaxy has around 100 million stars. If the actual universe is 260 time larger, that means there are ~52,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars. While not infinite, is significantly large enough for the statistical argument to still exist, though of course without the limit to infinity its not certain. But that is still just a single paper, so we dont actually know.
Naw Bashir had the right idea...most of the characters in “The Office” are unhappy. If u were there; with a boss who consistently did the wrong thing (but not fired/corrected/disciplined) U would b unhappy as well (if not downright miserable). On Game Of Thrones; people are doing terrible things for passion of conviction/love; not just putting up with bad behaviour for a paycheck...
I remember picking my English name when I was a kid and absolutely hating my Korean name (Hye Yoon, pronounced H-ye Yoon, not Hae Yoon) because all of the kids either mispronounced it or made fun of it by saying HEY YOU. Today, I'm really proud of my Korean name and heritage and am seriously considering going back to my Korean name.
Well, you can both have your cake and eat it too, because Hé/Hae, not H-ye, is in fact the correct pronunciation for 혜 in modern Korean. With the exception of 예,례 (and in some cases 계,셰) ㅖ has almost completely merged with ㅔ and ㅐ. And having gone to school with a lot of 혜원, 혜랑, 혜진, 혜수 etc., I can personally attest that you would still have been called Haeyoon by all the kids and teachers, although nobody would have made fun of your name. Hope that makes the choice easier for you :)

@Ummi Yaacub commented this quote two months ago: “Give your daughters difficult names. Give your daughters names that command the full use of tongue. My name makes you want to tell me the truth. My name doesn't allow me to trust anyone that cannot pronounce it right.” - Warsan Shire I have to say that what Hasan said and this quote right here really makes me want to use my full name. I've grown up with people saying my name wrong or calling me something else to make it easier on their tongue. I have so many nicknames from so many people and I've reached the point where I introduce myself with my nickname. A lot of these so called "friends" don't even know my real name. But my best friend? She knows my name and she uses it every day, even though I yell at her not to because it sounds weird hearing it when no one else says it. I secretly love her for not letting me forget that my name is my name and people who claim to know and love me should know how to say it correctly. Forget all the nicknames. My name is not Leia. It's not Lani. It's not Leila. It's not Lee-ain-ee or Leilani. My name is Lei-Ani. Lay to the Ah to the Nee. Put some respect on it.

Just a tack on: My dad is indigenous, he was brought to America almost solely for that reason alone. So he’s darker and already couldn’t relate to “every other Mexican in California” at the time. His culture was different. His language was different. He was alone. He had to survive for us. He’s such a rad dude I’m so glad to have him.
Humberto isn't that bad that. It's not super common but I've heard it before. Maybe cause I lived in Texas for a while but it doesn't seem like people should have any problem pronouncing that.
I’m not trying to sound ignorant but how is Humberto hard to pronounce? Is it not completely phonetic ? I’ve never heard the name before but I assume it’s said as it’s spelt ? (Keeping the h silent of course)
Shauna Kelly absolutely! It is mostly phonetic! And very easy to pronounce in the grand scheme of names, which is why it is so stupefying how people straight up refused to pronounce it correctly. They’d rather change his name then try to say it right, to them it wasn’t even worth the effort.
Kirby3585 people are the worst
After hearing Hasan's take on his name, especially in that Vanity Fair interview, I have been more strict with my name pronunciation with people. Before, after 3 mess ups, I would let it go to save time and frustration but now, nah, my name matters and I matter. Its Clerbie, get it right!
cleshlie
May name is Gaelic, and people ALWAYS. SAY. IT. WRONG. Even if I've corrected them before, they will still say it wrong. If I've already corrected a person on my name more than 10 times (given that they aren't older, or have problems with stuff like that), I either say their name wrong or don't respond when they say my name worng.
My name has been messed up so often I'm not convinced I even know how to pronounce it
@@CaribbeanCitizen same sob
Does Clerbie rhyme with derby?
As someone who's always had "two names" my whole life, that last part of the video where he talks about the difference between surviving and living really got me. It's something that someone with a "western" name in a western country may never think about. But it does make a difference when you use your true name. When people make an effort of pronouncing it correct. Maybe it's time we start to live instead of just surviving.
Love this, you matter too! Your name matters!
Yeah especially since Americans have never been known to “take Asian names” or whatever. Even if it’s a little uncommon, people at least try to pronounce it.
Hearing this I am scared to become an immigrant. Should I just not go. Because I just don't want to survive, I want to live. If you're an Indian who is an immigrant can answer my question, it would be of great help.
I love this, I was actually sad and kind of mad at myself for not knowing how to pronounce your name properly when you first corrected Ellen, then I looked back and realized even you had been mispronouncing your own name for a while and it made me very sad that you felt you had to do that. If we can learn how to pronounce buttigieg respectfully then why the hell is Hasan Minhaj so hard? I'm very happy that you corrected Ellen and that you continue to proudly say your given name no matter who still says it incorrectly.
Mellissande NotFromGOT I’ll help you.
HUH-SUN
MIN-HUJJ
easy!
I work in a multinational company and after that episode with Ellen, I now make an effort to call my Indian colleagues based on how they accentuate their name. I felt so embarrassed that I have been saying their names wrong until then.
Phonetically his name is pronounced Has-San not Hus-Sen. So it’s not incorrect. If he wants to be called Hussen he needs to change the spelling. Everyone in the UK who has the name name are called HAS-SAN.
@@NaughtyBwoi sure there are people out there spelling their name "kathryn" but my boy hasan is the one who needs to change
👏👏👏👏
Difference in our generation and our parents generation:
They are always trying to survive!
I am trying to live!!
Realest insight ever!!!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
ACCURATE 👌🏾
So excellent!

Yes, I too watched the video.

hasan is *hot*
Same :)

People say I look like him too... Just throwing that out there.
i love how hasan truly wants to learn from others. he's not just onstage to talk.
7:11 I could totally be friends with this dude! Dude goes full stoner talk without weed. I respect that.
My roommate is mildly allergic to her own dog so she wakes up in a sneezing fit every morning.... I'd know immediately. Side note: I've been told I have a comically small sneeze.
My friend sneezes like a cat
@@eruno_ yep. She's a dog sitter too 😂
@Tim Evans i have the same issue and its simple...the joy i get from having my pet outweighs the nuissance of daily sneezing fits lol
Ha I really clinically small sneeze . Thought a dr told you that haha
@@Junitunes 😭🤣😭🤣
I cannot BELIEVE Hasan is one of those people that sneezes like a mouse
“I’m going to make you hit all the syllables”. #YASSSSSSS
Bashir's hot takes are so much more intense when you're listening on 2x speed 😂
When “Deep Cuts” is a literal DEEP CUT 👌
Hasan is an expert at dodging questions... He just asks them to the audience.
Saumya Shah he usually answers right after, it just buys him time to think.
@@hina4500 Exactly! You don't notice he's SO GOOD at interacting with the crowd; it's like you're taking to a friend. But he's in front of a live audience of around 100, way more watching on Netflix / UA-cam, AND HE'S BEING RECORDED. That's a lot of stress to come across as naturally as he does!
Bashir should be made a permanent presence in deep cuts!
I love that Bashir said, “I’m sorry Mom,” while talking. You could see in the clip that his mom looked like she hates ThanksGiving because of his conversations.
"I AIN'T TRYING TO SURVIVE I'M TRYING TO LIVE."
That guy was cool and I loved that interaction haha some of his hot takes were harmless honestly
When he talked about the difference between the generations, survival and living, I felt that :')
Man that line of my father wanted to survive and I want to live is quite deep and powerful. Keep it up bro and keep on shining :)
I feel the name pronunciation bit so hard, especially with the parents generation. When my dad emigrated to America in the late 70s, he thought "Abdelrahman" would be too hard for Americans to say, so he chose another easier-to-pronounce grandfather's name for his surname, which he *still* chose to mispronounce to make it easier to say. That is now my surname, and that of my siblings, brothers kids, etc. and the whole family continues to mispronounces it the same way.
When I went off to college and felt like I could have a fresh start in a new place, I started pronouncing my surname properly, and my immediate family thought it was pretentious of me.
And this doesn't even begin to go into the mispronunciations I deal with my given name.
I can't win.
But I can appreciate Hasan's explanation of the generational thing @18:15. 1st gen immigrants worry about survival and assimilation. 2nd gen struggle with identity and want to re-assert our culture and languages.
The dude did not look like Hasan but he was equally as hot...
😊but is this content hot? ua-cam.com/video/yWBS8IuKyHw/v-deo.html
Omg Bashir cracked me up rofl🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hasan is so good at telling stories. The whole last story about his name legit reminded me of his Homecoming King days.
Hassan your voice is heard by many. Please raise it for Indians this time, against CAA,NRC
*Hasan
@Jatin Bangar it's not the CAA in isolation, even though even in isolation it's not "no big deal" the exclusion of Muslims is extremely dangerous and the fact that the Act designates people by their religion at all is a matter of questionable constitutionality.
The*real* problem, however, is the inevitable implementation of nationwide NRC, which combined with this would make it inordinately harder for Muslim immigrants and poor Muslim citizens to get/prove their citizenship. At which point you have a bunch of disenfranchised, non-citizen Muslims with not a lot of enforceable rights in a political climate where Muslims are demonized and dehumanized.
What do you think will happen?
#stopCAA #noNRC
@Jatin Bangar there will still be people who deserve to be on the NRC who will be left out.
(poor people with no generational wealth/home ownership are disproportionately left out of the census)
Also, maybe we don't have to exclude anyone at all? Immigrants weren't really a problem in India before the BJP made it into one to drum up more communal sentiment (since the damn temple's being built now, so they can't use that.)
We could just... Not let them do that?
Let people exist?
@Jatin Bangar except that a lot of poor uneducated people do not own property and do not have proper documents. Doesn't mean they deserve to be rendered stateless.
Okay you're moving the goalposts here. Your original point was that this was no big deal. Now you admit that the BJP's plan targets Muslims but only "illegal immigrants" and "terrorists".
Anyway, here's the facts.
1. They do pay taxes. Income taxes are deducted from their checks. GST and other point of sale taxes are paid when they purchase goods. That's money that India is getting, without providing them with any of the welfare benefits that are only available to citizens. They are literally giving India free money.
2. They don't steal *our* jobs. They are employed in precarious, underpaid conditions. That cheap labour actually helps local economies, since citizens don't want to do it and someone has to.
3. "illegal" does not mean immoral. The law can be wrong.
4. Muslim citizens who are too poor to furnish the necessary proof of citizenship *can and will* be mislabeled. To suggest otherwise is wilful ignorance.
5. I have more. There are more recorded cases of cow vigilantism-related mob lynchings in India this year than they are of Islamic terrorism.
I'm glad he corrected Ellen on how to pronounce his name correctly.
"I'm not cool, I'm not gonna do cool things." I went through that exact process when I lived in a cool neighborhood in my twenties.
I love The Office, but I have to agree - it’s a pretty depressing show. Remember when Michael showed up to the high school and didn’t have the college tuition he promised them? That just turned my world grey for a few days.
Captain Magee that’s the pinnacle of cringe TV
The Office was born as pretty much dark comedy. I mean, that’s just comedy in Europe and it isn’t even that dark, but for Americans it’s bleak and depressing. Kind of like Miracle Workers, except I feel Miracle Workers was being forced to have a happy ending. Which is fine, but the first few episodes are really funny BECAUSE they’re kind of dark. The last 2 episodes it’s like... yeah, ok. I don’t like it when a screenwriter has to pull a happy ending by the hair, but it was ok.
@The Elite I don't think it's about Americans being particularly sensitive, I think it's that they're really rigid with genres. As for comedy needing to be dumb and light-hearted, I'm not mad about it. Sometimes I actually do appreciate stuff that just gives me time out from real life issues. Which is why I used to really love dramatic movies and stuff you might deem depressing, but now I don't. Reality is already ugly and depressing enough, I don't need to be depressed during escapism as well.
Its just part of the story
Captain Magee I agree; that was a depressing episode that I still cringe to think about today. I like a dark comedy, though. The episode was a further illustration of how much damage a narcissistic person like Michael, who has a pathological need for approval (and very little ability to take responsibility for his actions), can do. It kind of reminded me of the series finale of “Seinfeld”. A lot of people hated it, but let’s face it, the characters were terrible people. We usually laughed at how awful they were, just like we usually laughed at Michael. Michael’s ineptitude at leadership and narcissism could be entertaining, but the depressing part was how much so many of us can relate to a history of terrible bosses or jobs. “The Office” was great because it was about finding the humor, camaraderie and small victories in life that make it worth living, in spite of the drudgery of adulthood.
Bring me what that alien guy is smoking
I really need that
That alien take was the least hot of hot takes. In the infinite universe, the probability of life existing outside of us is pretty high. That "apex predators are rare so it makes sense why bigfoot is rare", tigers are apex predators, we know they exist
@@andersonneil2293 yea. in an infinite and expanding universe, there could very well be a bigfoot. and why is earth so special that we wont have a bigfoot or two here.
@@andersonneil2293 The Universe is expanding but not Infinite, there's no way if incase the Higgs boson theory is as we all believe it is accurate.
Also even after reading about the Study by Students of Uni. of Texas who said that Its size cannot be bigger than 250 times.. I had to recalculate it to know its actually
@@Shaaan infinite and expanding are not mutually exclusive.
Honestly, the point still stands even if there is an edge to the universe. There are around 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe, each galaxy has around 100 million stars. If the actual universe is 260 time larger, that means there are ~52,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars. While not infinite, is significantly large enough for the statistical argument to still exist, though of course without the limit to infinity its not certain. But that is still just a single paper, so we dont actually know.
@@Shaaan read The Law of One
Please talk about the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and NRC in India. The entire county is burning right now
he should but it will feel like repetitive for his audience. already talked abt modi and elections. also kyun gaali khae banda bekaar me?

"People dying because of sneezing"
This hits different now
I think The Office is a sad show too. I still like it, but it is definitely sad.
Naw Bashir had the right idea...most of the characters in “The Office” are unhappy. If u were there; with a boss who consistently did the wrong thing (but not fired/corrected/disciplined) U would b unhappy as well (if not downright miserable). On Game Of Thrones; people are doing terrible things for passion of conviction/love; not just putting up with bad behaviour for a paycheck...
It's definitely not a sad show. There's sad moments, but a lot of those characters live full lives.
This guy is hilarious LOL penicillin, iPhones, and bread bowls..
Last time I was this early, Hasan was not an uncle.
mayy as come on he’s been playing the uncle moves for a few episodes now
"I'd die and kill for baby Yoda"
I remember picking my English name when I was a kid and absolutely hating my Korean name (Hye Yoon, pronounced H-ye Yoon, not Hae Yoon) because all of the kids either mispronounced it or made fun of it by saying HEY YOU. Today, I'm really proud of my Korean name and heritage and am seriously considering going back to my Korean name.
Do it, Hye Yoon!
Well, you can both have your cake and eat it too, because Hé/Hae, not H-ye, is in fact the correct pronunciation for 혜 in modern Korean. With the exception of 예,례 (and in some cases 계,셰) ㅖ has almost completely merged with ㅔ and ㅐ. And having gone to school with a lot of 혜원, 혜랑, 혜진, 혜수 etc., I can personally attest that you would still have been called Haeyoon by all the kids and teachers, although nobody would have made fun of your name. Hope that makes the choice easier for you :)
My favorite thing in this Deep Cut is Hasan talking about his name!
Get it right; keep it tight! ❤✊🏽
An Episode on CAA and NRC!
It's really REALLY needed right now!
This felt like a whole Patriot Act episode omg
My name's Alok, and everyone has called me Al my whole life. I ain't no Albert, bro, but the struggle is real.
Al Okay
Alok beautiful name
Hearing this I am scared to become an immigrant. Should I just not go. Because I just don't want to survive, I want to live. If you're an Indian who is an immigrant can answer my question, it would be of great help.
I'm so in love with his brain
@Ummi Yaacub commented this quote two months ago:
“Give your daughters difficult names. Give your daughters names that command the full use of tongue. My name makes you want to tell me the truth. My name doesn't allow me to trust anyone that cannot pronounce it right.” - Warsan Shire
I have to say that what Hasan said and this quote right here really makes me want to use my full name. I've grown up with people saying my name wrong or calling me something else to make it easier on their tongue. I have so many nicknames from so many people and I've reached the point where I introduce myself with my nickname. A lot of these so called "friends" don't even know my real name. But my best friend? She knows my name and she uses it every day, even though I yell at her not to because it sounds weird hearing it when no one else says it. I secretly love her for not letting me forget that my name is my name and people who claim to know and love me should know how to say it correctly. Forget all the nicknames. My name is not Leia. It's not Lani. It's not Leila. It's not Lee-ain-ee or Leilani. My name is Lei-Ani. Lay to the Ah to the Nee. Put some respect on it.
Reading this makes me so happy. Thank you
Ironical that your account name says "Lani Kiss".
Good for you girl
Awesome deep cuts episode! I always love these, i feel like you get more of Hasan’s personality through this and how he actually thinks about things then through patriot act itself
so well said! Our parents survived so we could live. We’re the lucky ones!
👏🏾 Hit 👏🏾 All 👏🏾Them 👏🏾Syllables 👏🏾
fyi the text at 5:41 said "yeah these are hasan's custom PA crocs lol"
It would take me 2 days tops to realize I wasn't sneezing. I sneeze in bright light, so it happens every time I step outside.
CAA,.You gotta talk about this bro.
I was also thinking the same bro!
It's tearing my state apart.
We are in a midst of a civil war now.
I feel so bad for my Muslim fellow bangalis now.
He might mention it somewhere sometime but it's too early for a full blown episode. His research team will need time.
Yep and about uyghur, china too..
CAA plus NRC
IS THAT A 19 MINUTES DEEP CUT YESSSS!!!
When he said that line about them tryna survive and him tryna live? I felt that.
That should be their winter tagline, "I'll double up on socks and do Crocs!"
"Dont let them bully you! MAKE THIS YOUR THANKSGIVING TABLE!" XD
17:14 I was very happy that he was Ellen show and he told her how to pronounce "Hasan Minhaj".
Please do an episode on Citizenship (Amendment) Act.
Shayed he kare CAB pe!!
It would be awesome if he did but going by the amount of flak he got for his episode on Indian elections, he'll probably avoid it.
Hasan please make an episode on CAA and NRC!
Ok, I'm watching this in August 2020. There's genuine fear when people sneeze now.
They shifted all the videos in the series from the Patriot Act channel to Netflix is a Joke. So all comments are gone.
This is hands down the best Deep Cuts made yet
This deep cuts really hit deep! I loved the name correction because it hits home for most of us. To see someone of color living and not just surviving is heartwarming and inspirational. ❤️
What Hasan said about his name was so damn good man
The community in Deep Cuts is literally amazing-❤️
That's a pretty inspiring take on "Whats in a Name"
Hey, seriously, i love your „deep cuts“ episodes, but this one, i just felt it.. real people, real opinions.. and emotions, thank you hasan :)
Everyone: Do an ep on the CAA
..
Hasan: there was one person on earth who could sneeze...
I think he has to reschedule with Netflix
He doesn't need to.
@@abhishek_soni1 He didn't NEED to do the episode on Modi and Indian elections either. But since he did that of his own accord and it turned out to be popular, he could certainly do one at his audience's request.
Hasan, please do an episode on CAB please🙏🏻🙏🏻
Everytime I sneeze, my 3yr old will yell QUACK!...I sound like Donald Duck when I sneeze
I hate that this show ended, and why no comments?
CAB EPISODE!?
*Please do an Episode on Citizenship Ammendment Act 2019 !!*
Agreed. That's what I am saying.
Agree Pls do an episode
@plz pray for Mangalore police shot 2 protestors
No he will more misinformed than any avg indian citizen
Yes please!
This dude needs a segment every other show. OMG this is genius, and he's totally right about The Office
That first guy was so broken down about the fact that they didn’t say he looked like Hasan. I feel bad for him
No joke, a friend of mine killed someone after sneezing while driving around a corner. The whole thing was super sad.
I have really loud sneezes and I’m a woman while a man sneezes loudly it’s not a big deal I sneeze and people look at me like I just shot a handgun. 😂
Haha!
The last 4 minutes of this video 😭
I blinked twice during the ending panel and both times I opened my eyes to disappearing crocs... it is entirely possible that hundreds of people missed the crocs altogether
It’s so cute how Hasan acts like he’s the one lucky to hve his wife when we all think Hasan is the amazing one shows that true love x
I have recently found deep cuts and thus I found my next thing to binge!!!
