0:00 [Music] okay um Anthony just put your emotions out there right now and react to this in the most honest way you can all right all right I just want to know going on patreon or not we'll see all right 80% honesty I can't read that you saw this I never remember after the Fatal crh a Chinese cosplayer dressed up as Kobe Bryant helicopter crash oh my God that's ████ up what the ████ why are they laughing they're all laughing what the that's so ████ up they're using a smiling face of him what that is so ████ up that's crazy wait wait why were they laughing though what cuz it's

0:51 funny to them I think for them it's so it's so foreign that it's like they're just out of touch like ████ man they give a ████ about Kobe huh that I'm going tell you the story when I moved to LA I went to a couple improv places the UPR ciens Brigade is one of them that kind of ████ was basically Halloween for those guys I'm just saying it was like offensive costume City who could triple double quadruple down on the most offensive costume multiple people were by the way the 911 attacks for example like ████ like that is just kind of it's kind of a a a humor type out there right yeah did he use balloons that's ████ crazy cuz it you know you know it it looked like it looked like balloon animals like he made a whole helicopter out of balloon and he had an act like

1:43 this this how the helicopter crash and you see him like get on his knees and like we just watch it one more time did you see wait did you see his doctor homie that was taking a picture that ████ blew my mind first of all doctors don't go to a crash light like that they're like not dressed in white i' I've seen like cartel beheadings and this one caught me off guard yeah I wasn't expecting that ████ that ████ caught me off guard like a ████ that s███'s crazy like what is the event that they're doing this at I need context a Comic-Con in China likes Kobe and he's like commemorate like he's really trying to like yeah he's commemorating dude like okay so it's a tri let me give you some context so I was looking into it and stuff somebody wrote Oh in China every body jokes about Kobe's death and really

2:33 yeah they said it's a meme wow just search this and you'll see so this is the thing they told me to search just read that top bar since you're probably the only one that can read this I can't see which one this Chinese ████ I wrote the top and the what does that say please don't does it say something helicopter I don't know helicopter helicopter helicop Chinese so I don't know with these Chinese these Chinese from on Tik Tok dude characters when you search it it goes to like you know like Chinese YouTube yeah there's a s███████ of Kobe Dead memes that's you know what's crazy about

3:23 that is Kobe is probably the most beloved basketball player in China but um you think they love him more than any other NBA basketball play ever flavor of Comedy that obviously in American lens is terrible currently terrible but I I do feel like their intention is not as hateful as it seems they always they always have the same like sped up version of uh of uh it's been a long time and then they always have like a toy helicopter with Kobe's head on it and they crash it oh ████ or they do they just do weird ████ like here's one bro this is what it looks like I guess his head is the cap of his bottle or some

4:14 ████ I again what the I don't know what that is but uh I think we get it save that link save that link no utation is the is the joke it's that same bottle so his costume was made out of these bottles what that's the be they sell this I guess I don't know I don't know what that is but um why it's got to be I'm going to ask one of my Chinese Ambassador friends yeah we need we need some Chinese like like okay like look at this look at this okay this is not this is real ████ that's just on there what can I say m come back dude he's straight up black facing that's what I'm saying it's a thing it's a thing so we're over here looking at this one guy doing this cosplay thing but everybody's just like

5:05 like they've been meing Kobe dang but that's like saying like that's like finding like seven Edge Lords from like North Carolina and judging all of America because seven ████ Edge Lords that's true but 20 million Chinese is like seven Edge Lords cuz they have like billions of people there all right seven Edge Lords look I spend a lot of time on this channel either not contributing to anything where China ████ up it's ████ up but this this just ain't it this Ain this is ████ crazy this is the ████ this is not the way wait yeah there's too many like you ever been to Mexico and you get off like you're like in enata and there's guys with those bracelets and they have crazy maybe the most offensive things I've ever read in my life like on bracelets and on like picture frames and ████ like that it's definitely like a you know

5:56 it's a type of humor out there well I do I do think like when you're like Oceans Apart like they're they're detached and desensitized to you like we're not people it's like we're from La Co like you know Kobe's like here this is yeah our home and then like we there was a there was an emotional connection to it out there that's like that's like us making fun of Chinese people biting bats right it's like well how would you guys rather live like caring about stuff like someone dying and like their hero or just not giving a ████ making fun of everything like how would you guys you know is isn't that what we did with the whole like Chinese people eating basss and spreading Co around the world and killing everybody thing though like on this channel cuz we called out the whole ████ time Dam you know what I'm saying like it is contextual like that like remember Shane gillis's like recent

6:46 standup where he was talking about uh the the Marine dude who like when he was finished with the service he finally was able to out himself as like a furry guy or whatever and then he talks about how China and Russia are using that as propaganda about like look our soldiers are so manly and gangster and America's soldiers are like furries or whatever you know what I mean and it's like out of context even though Shane Gill said I'm way more scared of the furry because like Yo dude if you're like dropping drone bombs on people while you're wearing like a dog it's a great bit but the point is like that's how like National propaganda is going to be you know what I'm saying like people are always going so who knows what their perspective of like our national hero dying is they they did one where they use the Kobe skin in this game and they make get in this Burning helicop Jesus is that pubg and then when he takes

7:39 off the other dude just Rockets it out of the ████ air well that's not accurate yeah it wasn't a rocket it was a mountain it was a mountain and it was Heavy fog and the the the pilot just went way too high he wasn't supposed to go that high if didn't go that high they would have lived this's an interesting Crossroads you're in that ████ mind no okay number one this isn't this isn't the Chinese government doing this these are the people and the people could be stupid sometimes I'm okay with that this is mind-blowing because in China I would I mean you probably correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like CH Chinese people love Kobe more than they love yaoi for sure so I'm like for sure I would like to understand where the comedy comes from cuz apparently it's really funny but they also Kobe's beloved over there I understand where the comedy comes from you don't remember being 13 and doing

8:30 the craziest ████ but that guy was a grownup at the ComiCon thing so little little Kobe it always crashes and then they go oh and it's that same like M what was that what do you mean at the end he just reaching out here's the other thing I can understand when something starts trending so far yeah that like it just like step by step it goes downstairs to a place that was like nobody thought the first thing that started the trend would end at like the most sadistic ████ up human concept yeah it's almost not about Kobe anymore it's about the concept of understand that like I still think like I think some of the people that are doing the most ████ up things aren't actual Kobe fans but people that are just creating content the bit look at this one dude

9:21 he's acting like the freaking helicopter pilot from the crash way too witty like I'm still not going to blame the country of China for this that's what I'm saying look Jesus Anthony do something stop this Anthony yo how come the social credit score how come the social credit score is not dropping not that we're above this ████ honestly like I don't think we're above that but something equivalent I just didn't know I just didn't know that they had a whole thing cuz we were fixated on that one guy at that one comic can I play Devil's Advocate yes what if this what if this is where Asian hate comes from oh I didn't is true though that this that the reason why I was pissed about that gu is cuz that didn't help the situation cuz they posted on like no jumper TMZ and everybody's like look what these Asian

10:12 ████ are doing that guy because like he made international news like yeah they had their meme life but that wasn't bleeding over but then this guy doing that and then going viral and then now like you know all these hip-hop pages are posting it and then it becomes a thing against Asians but it's like we don't ████ like that guy either and we don't even know this exists over there no you have to own all of it okay fine all right well it's cuz their dumb ass don't know the difference between us here and them over there so we get grouped up are you saying that group is just dumb look at Anthony's eyes dude Anthony's a Lakers fan dude this is so stupid I I hate this makes me I'm trying to like be macro as ████ for no reason but I'm like aren't you going to China sh this is me being he this is this is me thinking like these are the evils of social media cuz you

11:04 wouldn't do this if it wasn't for the attention of that you wouldn't just naturally in your own way be like I want to make fun of Kobe's death with a helicopter like that's not going to bring a child regular Joy seemed like he was just doing it on his own will no he was doing it for attention for so that phrase that phrase on Google translate means big helicopter oh so they're talking about like the helicopter industrial complex you know what I'm saying there it is helicopter dude they're calling something now dis like subliminal I can't do it these ████ idiots are idiots all right all the pil had to do that day all I'm saying cuz I watched a video about this so I know everything about is fly low higher fly high no fly lower to towards the terrain because he flew too high got disoriented and wasn't watching his equipment that's what ████ it all up need I watched one video about it and I know how do you think the how do you

11:55 think the news reporters in China reported Kobe's death where they like do you think they were serious about it were like oh look at these American no I think they were serious I think they were sincere cuz again like he was saying it's a subculture Community that's like it's like we have people like that too we are those people actual China people who like like basketball they ████ idolize Kobe it's crazy thought it was all funny never do this ████ I just watched this video and now I know cuz I watched the video about it it's like it's like redditors here or 4chan people you know what I mean it's the same thing Fu to me it's a social media I don't I still don't think it's like a it doesn't reflect the reality of the real the people I think I think the people that are doing these dumb things aren't actual Kobe fans if you're a Kobe fan you wouldn't ████ do that I hope that we post this video on X we get community noted and there's just non-stop videos of news anchors doing

12:46 Kobe bits doing Kobe bits doing KOB bits Community yeah and we get completely they thought it was funny all of China thought was hilarious I don't think it's representative China at all but it is it is crazy that to not have seen that coming like I didn't could you have predicted that that there was a whole like scene for these jokes could I have predicted get out of here I think the Human Condition to seek attention is you'll do the stupidest things possible at any given moment like that's not comparable but like for example you know when people are doing social media challenges like blackout stuff or whatever and then kids are dying it's like that's infinitely worse than like making fun of like a a national icon but like of course like from a taste perspective it's like this too because I remember there was a particular age where there was a shampoo bottle that had like a head on top of it I think it was like Macho Man or some

13:36 ████ and I thought cuz you unscrew the head and pull the head off and I just thought that was hilarious I was probably 9 years old I thought that was hilarious and like maob and dark and I watch a lot of cartoons and so like watching Daffy Duck basically shoot himself in the face every day you kind of just get used to like violence is funny yeah it's it's just when done right right yeah and Kobe is that like Universal that it's like a almost like a cartoon I don't mean to say it like that but you know what I mean yeah yeah it's not he's not a real person to some people yeah he's like a he's like a demig god on Earth yeah he's like a demig god on Earth he's like a fake person who never existed dude everyone was making I know you're saying everyone was making fun of Michael Jackson when he got ████ burnt on stage yeah yeah I guess so yeah people in America we're eating Tide Pods like what are are we that much greater

14:27 you know what I mean it's like sure like that's like don't make make fun of our heroic icon but at the same time it's like this is the greatest country in the face but he also he also committed adultery and we just like forgave him because he's sick as ████ Sports you know what I'm saying like oh you forgave him yeah just like I forgave Michael Jackson for ding those kids
