Honestly I would've gone round the class and get everyone to say their preferred name, because some people hate their full names, this would've worked way better than butchering an unknown name.
@5:35: I am not asian, but I know all about that ethnic pause, being the only one of my family with a so-called ethnic name. We moved a lot when I was a kid, so whenever a new teacher would get to around where my name was on the roll call, I would get that same pause. After a couple of moves, I got smart and just volunteered the pronunciation before the teacher even attempted.

16:01 He’s right, though. When I went to the Philippines as a kid, my family bought a goat for a birthday dinner. I’d played with it for a few days, gave it a name (I can’t remember what, I was 7 at the time) before they slaughtered it. I couldn’t stomach the meat at all during that party.
ALL sane, rational, well adjusted parents say these things. It's only LIBERALS who coddle their children, giving them free reign to do ANYTHING they want, including gender choice. It's utterly racist to think only Asians think like this.
I'm so guilty of this. My son always looking for things using his mouth rather than eyes and I found my self yelling at him to stop using his mouth and start using his eyes. Most of the time those things that he can'tfind just right in the corner of his eyes! 🤣🤣🤣
Jo Koy... my godmother is Caucasian American I'm not sure of her roots but she married an amazing Filipino who happens to be a doctor and Brilliant and kind and generous and amazing and he is intelligent and intuitive and loving and they have amazing children and I am so proud to be a part of their family and have them be a part of mine God bless you and your family I absolutely adore my cousin's I wish I knew them better because I love the Filipino culture
Mama Josephine is badass. My mom would definitely appreciate her because she had to raise me as a single mother for years so she would understand why Jo’s ma is so tough
Never met Joseph's mom, but I can tell it's 100% accurate because that is literally my own mum in a nutshell 😭 especially the "Do you look with your mouth?"
As a Filipino who has a single Mom who raised me and my brother, I can confirm that you look for things with your eyes, not with your mouth. I am proud of my Mom.
Whenever i lost something my mom would help me however it comes with a lot of scolding and unpleasant talking lmao, its how i became really good at finding my own stuff.
I dont feel boring whèn jo on stage prrforming his bits thats awesome. His so hilarious. These two comedians they just like telling stories in kinder garten class.
That ethnic pause 🤣 I can relate. Every single time in my life teachers pause at my name. Its like 10 minutes in a second before they say my name. That short eternity
3:14 my child can’t ever find anything 😂😂 he expect me to look for it while he’s just following me…. 😂😂 my mom will ask me to get her something and I will never find it, but she will go and find it and then hit me with it. I use to just think 🙄 if you knew where it was, why you send me to look for it 😭😭 but I gotta say She trained me right , now I find anything, the same as doing dishes every where I go. Out of all 17 grand kids my grama have I was the chosen one to wash the dishes even though I got to the family reunion late because I was cleaning the entire house that Saturday. So I’m now an expert at finding things and washing the dishes.
Where im from growing up asian american was totally different. I guess its cause when you grow up in hawaii where the white folk are a small minority things are different.
@@granta3044 Recent? lol. Filipino sailors were the first Asian Americans and they arrived in California in the 16th century. While some Filipinos started migrating in Hawaii in the 19th century.
@@granta3044 Can you explain what "recent" means to you? because 16th century and 19th century are not "recent" in my book. I never said anything about being the "greatest migrators". I said Filipino sailors were the first Asian Americans because they truly were. Where's the lie in that? google it!
Tien is hilarious she said "this grown a** adult, who was given the power to mold young minds, looked at my name and said hahaha that doesn't work for me....
I can relate to the name. The teachers and professors would call out everyone's names but every time there's a pause I can see their lips moving with no sounds. I'm not going to lie that I enjoy watching, but I would just save them the effort and announce my name. Lol
I went to an asian national schools, so it was multicultural. Teachers in my schools would asked their students to introduce themself on first meeting. either that or some of them just avoid saying their students name the whole year haha
When I was 6-7, I wanted to be Asian cause I thought they had the coolest hair. Now that I’m older I’m just glad we have diversity, y’all cool as hell. So is everyone else.
When my mom told me to look for something while telling me where to find it and I couldnt find it, I always thought that she has magic because she could find anything... like one time she told me to look for the folding umbrella at the top drawer. I searched the drawer for that damn umbrella, even taking out everything else in it and I still couldnt find it. Then when my mom searched for it, she simply opened the drawer, pulled the umbrella out like a magician and hit me with it... like wtf! That drawer was already empty, like was there a hidden compartment in there!?
Lol, that resonate with me and my son. Every time he claim he's already look at certain spot and couldn't find it, and when I go I look at it it's there. The look on his face thinking I have special power or plant it there. 🤣
His name and my name would go perfect together. My last name is Blowe and the E is silent so yes it is pronounced blow. Now adding his name oh, we could do a comedy duo called Blowe-Wang LOL we might not even have to say anything just stand there and smile and wave LOL
Just want to share on korean history of eating dogs. Records of it dates back to the dynasty days in the 600s b.c. In korea, there are special days during summer where we eat good nutritious food to rejuvinate the body and ward off bad energy, particularly an epidemic, as it gets hot and moist, a good breeding ground for disease. Dog meat was chosen based on the five element principles (water, wood, gold, earth, fire) to be most suitable for the occasion, and also mentions of consuming it to ward off parasites . And records indicate it was more of an expensive delicacy. (Now, koreans usually eat chicken on these days, among other things). You did still occasionally find dog meat restaurants in korea, but a while back, it was officially banned.
😂 sounds like he's actually adapting the pronunciation so then English speakers can understand better (and also it makes it even funnier when he pronounces "Wang" just like the word "Wang" in English. People will quickly make connections 😂😂😂😂)
I do it as well. For some reason, Aussie and Americans have difficulties understanding my 3 letter name when I say how it's meant to be pronounced but always get it the first time when I adapt their pronunciation of it.
Even people with European ancestry do that. Like Harvey Weinstein. Stein is pronounced like STINE, like a beer stein, but he pronounces it STEEN. My best friend’s last name is also Weinstein and she always got irritated having to correct everyone that it’s pronounced WeinSTINE and her family is Jewish Austrian and didn’t decide to start pronouncing their name wrong when they came to America lol
I've heard many similar versions of those pronunciating-exotic-name jokes so many times in Dry Bar Comedy channel. But this is the first time I heard it so condescending. 😅 Jo Koy's mom rocks, BTW.
I have a male chinese friend, and we often compared the names we were called when doing the roll call, hi name is comparable to Xylo Han (I know his name but for privacy purposes, I'm tweaking it a bit) and once, he told me that a teacher called him "Suzann" once. How in the name of the holy Bob does Xylo Han sound like "Suzann"? The funniest part is that my real name that I'm incapable of tweaking sounds a lot more like Suzann than the one of my friend.
I relate to the ethnic pause when people confront my name. Because my name is Sara. I'm Mexican. In spanish, the letter 'r' sorta sounds like a 'd' unless there's two in a row then it sounds like a broken racecar. So when people READ my name versus HEARING it, they get confused. Just the other day someone spelt my name 'sauda' then someone else asked "who is Sarah?" when they saw my name written down. The real kicker is my last name. Elenes. 'El-lay-nays' is a common occurrence.
I've made fun of my dad's occasional slip-up when he speaks English and 1:43 is incredibly realistic. And he has a point because I don't speak Tagalog-
Hahahhahaha how i love Jo Koy!!! I started calling my sister joseph because of him... She just get scared cause she thought i was angry every time i call her joseph hahahahhaahahaha
My Aunt got confused for Tiger Wood's mom at a comedy club once. We couldn't work the mental gymnastics to get to that conclusion since; A) She wasn't that old at the time. B) We found out that she looks nothing liker her, other than they're both Asian.
Jo Koy is on another level...as a matter of fact..he is on or surpassed many of the elites comedians.

The "Do you look with your eyes or your mouth?" is extremely relatable. My mom used that line so often.

Same here 🤣😂 so hilarious but I doubt you could do that to kids these days. They’d just think their mom is mean
Oh, my mom says the same. "Did you look with your mouth again?" I thought she was the only one who says that.
My mom also used to overdramatically "act-out" my mistakes 😂
Actually, alot of mother's do this. Especially if you wake up at a weird time when your looking for the thing.
"why don't you ask me where my keys are?" "I know where my keys are all the time!" 😂 I'm that mom
Most asian mom does....
it's a mom's thing 😂
