0:00 the Asian shame is so crazy Asian shame is yeah when it's exposed to the rest like the perception is more important than what is really going and other Asians can't figure it out except for except for Bart [Music] so there's a comedian who's who told the joke so bad that an entire country was offended by it and has asked Interpol to trace her location Interpol what could the joke be that is so bad and what could the country be that was so offended what do you guys think she's buying Dubai or something I think it's got to be one has to be an Islamic country really but it's Interpol though would an Islamic country ask the UK government to help oh Interpol UK yeah I thought it was International jurisdiction this because it's inter oh the ████ interval is dude oh

0:52 International police that's what I thought but I thought the headquarters is you I don't know just say that then I gotta shorten it up what kind of joke could be so bad for let's start with there what's the joke like bacon or something I don't know related content yeah what's an example of a joke yeah I would imagine it would be something like religious like yeah I think that is a definite spot where I'd be like yeah right you got to be careful with that um I I actually don't think it's an offensive joke I think it's so it's a dumb joke and it's so stupid that it's offensive and people got offended because it was just bad okay like it doesn't even hurt anyone's feelings it's just you can't you're not a good comedian okay yeah like your mom's fat like a pork That's funny though it's like a yo mama joke yeah

1:42 joke in a comedy show and everyone was like what yo what the ████ how dare you this ████ some people don't have doors what uh what country do you think would be that offended Saudi Arabia I don't know Japan in Japan okay interesting all right here's a hint the comedian is Asian the joke is Asian the country is Asian North Korea that was my first initial thought of my head yeah no it's not North Korea all of you would think it is though well all right a lot of okay there are eight I mean there are Asians with no sense of humor they're usually next shark commenters yes thank you but damn man but Vietnamese Filipino are laid-backs I already take them how about Taiwanese they're hilarious they already

2:32 laid back up did you see did you see there was a Filipino thing recently where uh there was this like infographic that showed who are the most racist countries in the world Philippines got number five and then and then all the comments from the Philippines were like yeah Filipino that's what I mean Filipinos Vietnamese and Thai are like the most laid-back people when it comes to humor like no no way they're like Filipinos coming up is it China it's not China which is interesting yeah Singapore Korea almost Singapore oh Malaysia Malaysia Malaysia was it Jason Cheney in Malaysia so Malaysia got offended what would offend Malaysia Muslim not Muslim it's not Muslim it's not Muslim oh you ████ made fun of their Nasi Lemak dude they're like you made fun Amigo ring can we get that for lunch

3:22 that might be worse that might be worse but no Malay um Malaysia got offended by a joke actually here's the joke and here's a comedian okay okay serious Cheney isn't it Jason Jenny right there it's not Jason Jenny it's close it's Josh lynchia Malaysia Singapore Malaysia okay yeah this isn't it yeah she's Singaporean sometimes he cry because he thought We're not gonna survive without you but then four years later we became a first world country and you guys Malaysia what are you now still a developing country oh that's ████ Wild

4:14 it's too funny yeah Malaysia I feel the hate y'all trying to come around like in Singapore you're looking good why haven't you visited me 40 years yeah I I tried but you know my airplanes cannot fly oh it's going missing not funny [Laughter] some jokes don't last yeah that's good she got the Singaporean ████ twang you know so that is it about the airlines she's Singaporean but she's I think she's born in America oh is it

5:04 about the airlines because I feel like it's a joke about the airline that went missing Asian morality it's not really like if we actually ████ up it's how other people perceived if we ████ up it I don't really care but if my friends found out he got a B then I'm like what the beat the ████ out of me right right that's a good point yeah it is excellent if Malaysia's Airline like oh you your Airlines get lost dude they're like oh ████ so much shame I can't take this yeah oh see that makes us all crazy it wasn't the third world country that pissed them off out of all of the comments that I've read about this nobody said that that's pretty interesting that's I think that's very smart because Asian shame is so crazy Asian Sheamus yeah when it's exposed to

5:54 the rest like the perception is more important than what is really good and other Asians can't figure it out except for Bart because everybody's focused right now on the disrespect to like uh Malaysian Airlines but then she's pointed out too she's like people in America make 9 11 jokes like crazy like crazy so what what are what are people pissed about can we ask the Singaporean like what the context Is Here Yeah I have no idea dude is there beef between because the history of it is um they used to be a part of Malaysia until they had a Uprising and they separated so is there like some kind of animosity there or like something I don't get that's quite exactly what she said in a lot of ways like you know I'm sure it's a little so she's she's told that joke many times it's a joke it's only now getting backlash because it's now like making its rounds and on the

6:45 internet everywhere but she's told it in Singapore it kills she's told it in lots of places like um but now like you know Malaysians are seeing it and they don't like and now I didn't think about what you said now they don't like it well they got different laws man when we went out there um we did some radio interviews and then one of them asked um they're like so um you know how do you think about like University or your college experience and they were just like oh not everyone needs it and then they're like can we cut that really quick um can you not say like don't I'm like don't ████ ask me a question that you don't want an answer to but we're so used to like just being in America and like speaking yeah they're like don't freak you guys forgot we don't have free speech over here so yeah okay fair enough so they can't they have a different I think set of laws and

7:35 morality when it comes to what to say right because that's hilarious like and you would never think in the states to call the cops because someone offended you verbally like it's not a threat it's not against the law so they're asking Interpol to like identify our location so they can like apprehend her yeah and then ████ like bring her in for questioning and trial like a like like an absolute criminal yeah they I think they're trying they're trying to figure figure out how to like how to get in trouble it there were over a hundred protesters at the American Embassy asking in Malaysia trying to demand that she be banned from entering Malaysia extradite her extradite her yeah different set of rules man that's exactly what that is yeah interesting the interesting thing is why I showed so much of it is that what's making the rounds is just the tiny little part

8:25 where she talks about the Malaysian Airlines and it kind of it is like she's also saying yeah it's not fair that the little clip is getting you know uh when you do watch the whole thing from the beginning where she's talking about the Malaysia Singapore and like as in like from her perspective of being Singaporean it does have more contact and does make more sense I can still understand why people would be so mad about you know the fact that like oh like 200 some people lost their lives in this thing but it's like but also the rules of like American because she's at the comedy seller no is that where that video possibly yeah but yeah yeah she's in New York I think she's not even in Malaysia yeah so it's also too like I think the rules of American Comedy like go over the heads of like Americans sure yeah you know what I mean so it's like once you once you go outside the country it's just like it's just really hard to gauge what the responses are going to be or how people are going to take it right

9:15 because they assume that you're just saying how exactly how you feel rather than like I'm trying to say something kind of shocking but have a funny thing you're crappy yeah it's like that that concept of Comedy a stand-up comedy specifically I think is lost on most people even in America bro you know how sometimes people say like if people get offended by a joke it just wasn't a good enough joke do you think this was a good enough joke to have like earned yeah I thought it was a good job that's a great joke but also too it's like the word play at the end was clever yeah some jokes don't land I thought saved it yeah she's like hey hey some jokes don't land it's comedy yeah exactly just Let It Go I mean yeah we're no strangers to saying ████ that people get pissed off this audience is a little different here yeah like something I'll catch myself outside of here like cracking a joke

10:06 that I'm like trying to be like very over the top about but then people are like whoa you really think that and I'm like no I don't really think that like I'm just saying that just to like yeah and then tip has to apologize on your behalf yeah or just does that just bro random people stop playing with them clients mostly no just other stupid jokes you're right though even within America we're losing that understanding of satire context and like everything everybody takes everything's so seriously that's the real pandemic everyone got Asperger's and ████ yeah that's what that's what aliens don't want to be here yeah yeah they're like I thought you were gonna be funny you know like because you know how they get ████ late out there because there's the satellite like transmits kind of far yeah so then they're like watching 90s jokes and then they're like on a road trip how excited they're like I can't

10:57 wait to meet Chris Rock if we're Finn here I come it's super nice yeah I again there's like such an ongoing hatred for this comedian like it's pretty heavy it's pretty heavy um countries like Malaysia involved and they're calling Interpol they're taking us see they're really taking it Mega series and again I understand how they feel but also there's a ton of 911 jokes out there bro like yeah stuff gets joked about no matter what it is it will get joked about and in some ways it's a form of healing it's a form of coping and humor is kind of the best approach for a lot of these times I think it's 100 a form of healing and then if you're still sensitive about it you should probably not breathe for a long time but you really think the inner pole is good for you

11:47 yes that's what she said she screenshotted like she reposted on her Twitter the uh the Interpol like request thing and she goes I would love to see the face of the agent that got this freaking she's really like owning up to like she's not she's not yeah she seems kind of like yeah like she's very if she makes it through this I feel like she has a pretty freaking dude I think she will she probably will she'll be okay she'll make a joke about the situation yeah she should then he said this is they brought it back from the past well no she's been doing this joke for a long time only now has it received this kind of backlash because it it just hit the viral you know algorithm and it just showed all the wrong people that weren't in this club that weren't prepared to hear comedy that don't want to hear a joke that don't even want to even think about the Malaysian flight anymore you know so

12:37 understand that I was wearing them messed up It's Gonna Hurt who it's meant to hurt yeah but everybody gets ████ mad about everything on the internet dude as soon as something goes viral as soon as a guy saves somebody on the highway I'm sure people in the comments like what a ████ piece of ████ I can't believe you did that like people get mad over ████ everything and so many things are clipped out of context too like almost everything nowadays is clipped out of context right I mean I just recently was watching a pottery making video in a tutorial and there was a raging ████ argument in the comments section yeah for pottery for pottery it's over bro so it's not just next shark yeah that's it dude aliens come get us end the game yeah also the outrage the outrage was on next shark by the way
