I would say its more popular in Japan and China, its not as much in India... Like if Japan, Korea and China are tier 1 in popularity for Archery, India is probably tier 2....
My Indian husband showed me his video about middle class families. I was shocked how funny it was to me, as a Turk too :D I guess middle class families are the same everywhere 😃😃
9:07 It's one of those things that has evolved from Indian languages. It sounds weird in English, but small means young in Hindi and other Indian languages, so that's probably how it found its way into Indian English.
In Hindi we say, 'Mein chhota tha' The literal translation is 'I was small' 'Mein' means 'I' 'Chhota' means 'small' 'Tha' means 'was' The syntax changes as you can see also yes it is a phrase we say actually Jaby, we usually use the word 'chhota' for both, young and small so that is why. You get it now?
AT ARCHERY CLASS: Achara: I am gonna kill it. 4 HOURS LATER! ABC news: a woman has been arrested for killing her youtube partner for not allowing her to speak in the livestreams, and the police suspects that the he died due to the arrow stabbed in his "HARA LUND"
when someone ask how small/old were you, no one in india tells their exact age instead we say I was in X standard 😀. We remember our childhood memories based on standard only
In west also they refer memories with school grades (standards) but since they have Primary, middle and High schools as 3 separate schools, they refer it to as "when I was High school or middle school sophomore or senior etc"... They would say grades until 5th standard (for primary schools) after that they use middle schools (6th, 7th and 8th) and high schools (9th, 10th, 11th, 12th for US) for reference rather than grades (standards)....
It's really funny how Jaby thinks this is one of Kenny's best stand up sets but most of the people who watched it think it was terrible and dragged on for too long.
Achara :- I think I saw an UFO on my backyard Jaby :- So anyway my Ex girlfriend was a half alien and half German And that really scary that the fact she was German
This is one of the definitions Oxford Dictionary gave about the word 'small': Not fully grown or developed; young. "As a small boy, he spent his days either reading or watching TV"
India has been dominating archery in Olympics and other international tournaments. Infact, India's most coveted sports award is named after Arjuna (a mythological character of Mahabharata) who was world's top most Archer with amazing capabilities with his bow and arrow and great focus and discipline.
I'm a South African Indian and I/we also use "when I was small". It's not that we don't know the "correct" English, it's just how we talk conversationally
Also, the type of comedy Kenny is performing is called improv comedy, meaning taking completely unknown topics from the audience usually and making a set out of it.
When she said she was "small", its kind of a literal translation from hindi to english that made it happen. In hindi, "Old" and "Young" translates to "Bada" and "Chota", and also "Big" and "Small" translates to "Bada" and "Chota". So often when people are speaking in english, they're phrasing what they want to say and translating it in their mind and then speaking out which in terms lets out these literal translation sometimes. Also, you'd probably understand what they actually mean, just like Kenny did, and hence no reaction to it.
Many phrases from Indian English that might seem a little weird is because they are directly translated from hindi. Even though they sound weird they make perfect sense in hindi.
Well in India we have to write a whole story based on few words in like 10 mins when we were in school...so yeah I think we have that creativity to make stories on the spot because we wanted that 5 marks of story writing in exams and no one ever got 5 out of 5 for that most creative would get 4 and half but never 5 Edit : we have story writing question in languages exams and basically they give you 5-6 words like keywords and you have to form a story and write it in 10 mins cause exam is of 80-90 marks for 3 hours so you don't have enough time... So make story in 5 secs and write it in 5-10 mins
Indians do this thing where even though they know the grammatically right way to say a sentence, they will shorten it by removing any unnecessary words. You can clearly see it in the way Kenny speaks, where it sounds borderline illiterate, but if you watch him like have a real conversation on a podcast or something you realise he can speak perfectly good English. I think it comes from English as a language being a lot less efficient than native Indian languages, so we try to compensate. It's gotten to a point where everyone kinda understands that this is how english in india works and no one corrects each other. So that's kinda where the "When I was small" thing comes from I guess. It is kinda a cultural thing.
@ 9:17 OMG just today I was talking with my roommate here in Germany and I said the exact phrase “ I was small back then “ and immediately thought I said a a phrase which common in India but luckily my German roommate, she didn’t even noticed a thing even though she is so fluent in American English LOL.
Priest : So Joseph was a little distraught after Mary confided into him that she was with child but she was still a virgin... Jaby : I had an ex girlfriend who said that to me.... God : *burns jaby with lightning * Well that's how you do a copyright strike!
Indian dads really do that like that bungee jumping reference is so relatable or adventure sports incidents, because the kid can’t do it, the dad hands the kid the valuables he has on him. My dad did that to me a lot of times like give me all his money(literally empty all his pockets) and rings when we went to adventure sports destinations because some random adventure sport set ups don’t have lockers and all that but even if they did have lockers my dad would still trust me over the lockers(my appa’s really old school). I’m not saying it’s a good thing to trust your child with a lot of money but I guess I have always been responsible with money and valuables since I was small. My dad used to refine gold and silver when I was small and he would just entrust me with locking the gold and stuff in the lockers. He didn’t do that to my brothers though may be because I’m the oldest.
Many Indians when they speak in English, certain words they use are the direct translations of words or phrases in their mother language. "When I was small" is one of such instances.
11:30 you guys do realise that's the basic premise of Home Alone 2 right? Kevin would not have survived if his dad didn't give him a bag full of cash in the airport
Hey jaby, just a small feedback 😛 this new mic setup gives too much like a podcast vibe. Earlier setup was little more intimate and raw. Anyway, great reaction as always! 🤘🏼
It’s not that the parents believed daughter for money, it could be because she cried to carry that bag. When I was small, same incident happened with me. In one of the family function, I cried and insisted mummy to give me her bag because I liked the idea of having my own purse. Later I placed it somewhere and forgot, creating all tension 😅
Small translates to "chhota" in Hindi. You would use chhota to refer to both someone's age (young) or the size of something (small). This is also true for other Indian languages like Gujarati, Marathi, etc. This is why many Indians might say small instead of young when referring to age. This also goes for "bada" as in older or big.
8:55 Jaby , that is definitely an incorrect adjective used by the lady over there... We go by British English (precisely) or American English. Listen to Shashi Tharoor and (millions more ) Kenny just ignored that mistake cause he's not taking her a grammar classs plus he is cute 😊❤ Also Kenny said the right adjective @ 9:27 why didn't you pick up then ? Strange 🤔
Superposing kenny and jaby, I feel jaby's reaction videos are also a form of (delayed) crowd work. He also tells good stories that I can visualize, and involves in spontaneous discussions about the topic including comments from previous videos.
The phrase “when I was small” is a direct translation from Indian languages. (Eg. jab main choti thi)
It should be "When I was young"
True it's common

Well comedy is subjective 🤞
Jaby is so old that Achara been with him since forever still doesn’t know any of his girlfriends.
The money bag story reminded of Home Alone 2, where the father gave his bag full of money to Kevin
Achara :- I think I saw an UFO on my backyard
Jaby :- So anyway my Ex girlfriend was a half alien and half German
And that really scary that the fact she was German
Oh God, joining that archery class in Dadar is on my to - do- list.
Now That's what i was waiting for. Finally, Kenny is back.😄
'When I was younger' - British/American English
'When I was small' - Indian English! Ya, Bro! 🤟
jaby writing in the weight section who is counting at this point and me who is pausing video there to read everything is like wait i was counting
Whenever i watch Kenny Sebastian videos with Jaby's reaction... it gets more fun!!!
The funniest thing he said, in India someone gets excited for archery after watching "Avengers" 😂😂🤣
If Sebastian Kenny see how Jaby laughing 😆 on his jokes, he might even pay to Jaby for that. 😂
It's been 6 yrs since I have been watching his content but "here we go again" is still makes me laugh 🤣🤣
This song and these intro with this song are also so amazing I watch the intro 3-5 times 😂
16:03 jaby cracking up cracks me up every time
17:34
"Don't pull my string"
"Which string "
"G-string"
Jaby just starts laughing hysterically at random jokes 😂 I love it
9:20 because many phrases comes from direct transliteration from mother tongue in Hindi they say " me jab chota tha"....when i was small.
Kenny is just so effortlessly funny!!
This was so much fun....first time I laughed so much on Kenny Sebastian's video
I laughed so hard when jaby cried laughing 😂 suddenly the joke was much more funny.
Kenny is back with a bang! Kaboom!
Wow! Jaby it’s great to see you improved the production quality of the content.

@Jaby Koay you are right, 'When I was small' is indianism for 'When I was little/younger.'
Lucky Ali is an Indian singer. Legend in his own way. He recently left singing for Bollywood.

Never saw Jaby laughing so much on any joke. Made the joke really so much hilarious. Rofl.

I’m surprised Kenny didn’t make a Cupid joke! Arrows and love. It’s right there! 🥲

Feels good when you think jaby and achara are best in their field.
"When I was small" is British English vs "When I was little" is American English. India was a British colony, and hence, the expression.
thats what good comedians do they are good listeners and insane story tellers
In India we use both small and young words commonly. Kenny asked her jokingly how small were you instead of how old or how young.
Please react to "roar of RRR"
The expression goes behind the mic, I don't know why would jaby do that all of a sudden...
