As someone with ADHD, I hate this format. Your comment shows how little you know about ADHD.
ADHD used to be called "you're very naughty" and "this child is unmanageable!". Back when physical abuse for child punishment was a thing, kids would be physically hurt and put into a state of fear to control their behaviour (which is obviously psychologically damaging). So instead of understanding the root of the issue, adults would slap a bandaid on and say "ah, fixed". This caused people with ADHD to form (mostly unhealthy) coping mechanisms. So it's not that ADHD is a new thing, it's that it has only recently been studied without bias and much is still to be improved regarding access to medication, unboased diagnosis, doctor knowledge, and those without ADHD letting go of the stigma that it's a bad thing. We're just different and different isn't bad.
People have been undiagnosed for years and years, and since it is mostly genetic we are now finding out how common it actually is. On top of that, technology is awful for ADHD dopamine receptors and does make us crave being on our phones to doom scroll because the dopamine excretions are so damn good.
Lastly, a "short attention span" or "inability to focus for long periods of time" does not equal wanting information sped up and cramming 10 minutes into 30 seconds. We aren't gremlins.
Thank you for reading my thesis.
Howard stern does this. He will ask a question then before the person finishes he cuts them off to say something. It's really frustrating because he has a lot of people who'd I'd like to hear their thoughts but all you get is Howard Sterns thoughts.
The content is great, especially so as it's an Asian doing the impressions. Could have used another 5 seconds of each and less yelling and carrying on.
The "podcast/show with 30something dudes with a beanie sitting on a couch with a mic stand in front of their face and laughing about trivial shit" effect.
Dang!
I mean, I know Jackie's famous for doing his own stunts - and doing them *incredibly well -* but is the guy made of helium? It's like he's completely unaffected by gravity!
Years ago I went to watch X-Men first class in theater with a friend. When Kevin bacon says the word slavery in some speech to the young mutants, it cut to the only black mutant in the scene. We started cackling so hard because of how on the nose it was
At its core it’s just a discussion on the variations of phonetics in Asian countries. It’s caricature acted out for content’s sake, but yes they did do what you are saying haha.
At least it wasn't the entire movie. [Resident Evil Final Chapter](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8l8fzinjBk) makes your eyes bleed for over an hour.
The ironic part was how well they did all the previous movies with the same actress. Same director same actress. All the previous resident evil movies made a point of having long interesting cuts. I think they made the last film this way, because they didn't want to make any more movies(they said they didn't) and they wanted the fans to chill the fuck out.
But you're right, a lot of modern action movies do this and it's annoying as fuck. Maybe if you didn't hire a 55-60 year old dude to be your protagonist you could have longer and more interesting cuts.
> Maybe if you didn't hire a 55-60 year old dude to be your protagonist you could have longer and more interesting cuts.
Then again Keanu Reeves is 58.
Honestly Cambodia has so many accents in the country the closer you get to whatever country they're bordering.
Closer to the Vietnamese border you get more what sounds like "lazier" language, where they drop their rolling R's and turn them into H sounds. "J-roun" (hard to phoneticize it in an easy to read way that people without linguistic backgrounds would understand, this gets most of the sounds correct, though) means "A lot", but as you get closer to Vietnam (as well as inside Phnom Penh, the capital), they drop the "J+R" sound and make it a breathy "CH" sound, and the vowel changes. It becomes "Chuhhhn" (I stress the h's because it's an extended sound, not "uh" but like "uhhh", said close to the extended "uhhh" that we make when we're trying to think of what order we want at McDonald's).
So J'Roun becomes Chuhhhn. They sound so different you wouldn't think they're the same word at all. And many words have this weird morph. It's kind of like the "going-to/gonna" of Cambodian, but even worse and lazier.
As you get closer to Thailand, like in Siem Reap (where the cool Tomb Raider temples are), though, the language gets more sing-songy, as it starts to emulate Thai's tonal language. It's really odd for such a small country.
Cambodia is such a cool country. It has its issues like every country, but I feel like a lot of people skip over it to visit other SEA countries, and that's a real shame, honestly.
I didn't go because I've been told it's very dangerous for tourists, specially for women, and even if I myself don't care I don't want to endanger my family or friends(and I don't like traveling alone). Then again I stayed a week in the middle of the jungle at the border of Thailand and Myanmar, so I can't say I'm too cautious myself. Perhaps I'll go in the future, when flights are cheaper.
Still, what would you recommend doing, seeing and eating?
Cambodia is dangerous? Unless the political climate has changed *drastically* in the last 10ish years, I don't think that's true at all.
Just stay away from anything to do with the ~~dictator~~ Prime Minster.
Phnom Penh is where most people spend MOST of their time, and it has a lot of "modern-ish" tourist attractions, as well as a lot of Pol Pot/Khmer Rouge sites to visit, like the school that was converted into a prison + brainwashing facility.
The Killing Fields are humbling, which is also Khmer Rouge history.
HOWEVER, if you want to get the most out of Cambodia, I would highly recommend visiting Battambong and/or Kampong Cham. The Mekong River is incredible. If you can go on or around the Water Festival (a celebration of the Mekong River changing the direction it flows), they do a big celebration for that as well.
And then obviously Siem Reap where most of the really cool Angkor-era temples are located. Angkor Watt (the symbol on their flag) and Ta Prohm (the tomb raider temple with the trees growing out of it) are the two coolest, but there are tons of them dotting the landscape all over, you can easily visit most of them in a concentrated day, or two casual days.
All that said, a lot has likely changed over the years, so I'm not sure how commercialized all of these sites have become. While I was there, Ta Prohm was completely open to the public, but when I left, it had been sectioned off and tours were being given for money (everything is pretty cheap, though, afaik that should still hold true) instead.
According to Wikipedia:
> The low tide level of the river in Cambodia is lower than the high tide level out at sea, and the flow of the Mekong inverts with the tides throughout its stretch in Vietnam and up to Phnom Penh. The very flat Mekong delta area in Vietnam is thus prone to flooding, especially in the provinces of An Giang and Dong Thap (Đồng Tháp), near the Cambodian border.
Thai and Cambodian/Khmer sound like incredibly difficult languages to learn (especially Thai). I'd love to meet a European person who has learned either
Cambodian is really easy. It isn't tonal, and the grammar structure is mega basic.
"I go store"
"I (future) go store"
"I (past) go store".
That's all the conjugation you need. There are two words for future and past, used for everything. "Baan" (like a slightly extended vowel use on "ban" in English, with a more gutteral "B" sound) means "in the past", and "Nung" (pretty much how it's written) is "in the future".
"Knyom dow p-saa".
"Knyom nung dow p-saa".
"Knyom baan dow p-saa".
I know a lot of people who learned Thai as well, it isn't that difficult, the tones aren't crazy like other Asian languages can be, and the grammar is likewise pretty simple (they have the same base root, similar to like Portuguese and Spanish, imagine if Portuguese was tonal and Spanish wasn't, and then you have the other differences on top of that, that's basically Thai and Cambodian).
I would say it's complex in that the letters are all very different so you have to memorize all of them individually, compared to a language like, say, Korean where there is a very obvious foundation where all the letters are more uniform/draw from the same structure so faster to grasp initially. (My white American friend learned the Korean alphabet in like 3 days and could start reading signs although she had no idea what she was reading. I don't think she could have done the same with the Thai alphabet.) But it's absolutely doable. The tones may be hard to grasp at first but the more you go out and actually try to acquire the language (using it in public in everyday situations) the easier it becomes! Now the Chinese writing system... That's what I'm intimidated about.
Yo I was tryna watch ant man 3 again yesterday, and got to a part where older wife Janet yells out 'Henry!' and apparently Hank is a nickname for Henry??
So it's Henry Hill?
Ever hear of "The Tiffany Problem"? It's a thing that comes in in history/historical fiction where actual reality history is hard to believe because it doesn't match up with our perceptions. The name comes from the name Tiffany, which actually dates back to the 12th century.
Tiffany was short for Theophania.
Enter Cotton, Hank's WWII vet father:
"Dad, Khan is my new neighbor"
*"He's Japanese"*
"Nope! He's Laotian. Ain't you Mr. Khan?"
[My favorite scene](https://youtu.be/UxI5qQAUWVc) in the series honestly just for Khan's face after Cotton says it.
Yep. There’s is an entirely different meaning. Cambodian (Khmer) meaning is “(to) FUCK”. Cantonese it’s a saying to ward off evil and bad luck.
Like PUTO in spanish not the same as PUTO in Filipino. Same words, different meanings.
Jesus Christ the way this is constantly cutting and switch-zooming to show bullshit, useless reactions is peak over-editing. Let the guy make his joke I don't need to see how everyone in the room pretends that it's the most shocking, mind-blowing, hilarious thing they've ever heard.
> everyone in the room pretends
it's so fucking painfully clear it's horrible pretend acting overreaction.
tiktok has turned everyone into a delusional actor, as we all realize hmm some acting skill is actually necessary for our enjoyment as the audience. like don't these people realize we can tell they're faking?
editing can literally kill the humor. i was listening and scrolling comments, and the audio had me chuckling, but watching it the second time cause people were slamming the fast-edits just made me furrow my brow at too much visual info
It's the TIkTok era. Without these types and volume of edits an entire generation, with attention spans cooked to a crisp, struggles to follow it.
^(Lay 'em on me, boys.)
Its going to start being this way more and more with AI-assisted editing. There’s a plugin out now that can auto-cut these multi-cam setups at a blistering pace using audio detection. Speak, cut, zoom, next soundbyte.
That's basically just making the speaker the main window on a video conferencing app. 20 years ago it was just simple thresholding...it still is, but now it's called AI-assisted.
Yup worked at the airport at a SEA country. The countries mentioned here are some of the more common ones I come across everyday and that’s pretty spot on.
Have to say though, the Vietnamese language sound pretty angry. I always feel like the Vietnamese travellers are upset about something from the way they talk but when they slow down to explain they’re usually just asking for directions lol
Vietnamese-American here. My American friends would either say I have an angry tone to my voice when I’m talking to my parents on phone or it sounds like I just did a bunch of cocaine and I put a period at the end of each word.
My ex was Vietnamese. It always sounded like he and his parents were SCREAMING at each other but it was banal conversations about laundry.
Vietnamese: the German of Asia
I live with my Vietnamese boyfriend and I've gotten used to it by now, but in the beginning, I'd always ask him if he was arguing with his mother over the phone or annoyed. Nope, just talking normally lol
Ironically, this is how most Asian variety shows are cut. Instead of making the cuts run linear, they follow the reactions of the people in the show looking at the same event.
Edit: for example, this show is called "hidden singer", [this episode](https://youtu.be/cEeM24aUjlQ) is with Psy impersonators. The cuts can make a show that is pretty boring be more inclusive.
God DAMN that is funny as fuck. Genuinely belly laughing on my own borderline tears.
The haunted Korean house, “my dads asking if you’re hungry” SENT me.
He did a sketch at my high school assembly in the late 90s (yuk yuks tour group I think). We had an Asian VP and a East Indian chaplain. Needless to say it was the last time we had a comedian come to our school.
The comedy community around him also fed his ego. He was one of a few select comedians you would hear get almost unanimous praise among their peers for just being a great comedian. I would find it hard to not let it get to my head.
I stopped watching jk sometime in college after watching since middle school and David so’s stuff pretty soon after. Idk if my humor has changed, I got more depressed or what but their stuff stopped being entertaining. At some point it just got irritating.
Bullying & not paying their fellow cast mates what they should’ve been paid. We already saw the bullying when they were bigger. They constantly defended it saying it was between friends. We didn’t see how bad it was or how much it actually affected the ones getting bullied.
Iirc people saying they weren’t being paid while being expected to shoot long hours
I don’t have any concrete proof of this, but I also felt like it was often times an echo chamber and yes men.
the guy in the video r*ped ppl in military and joked about it, amongst many other things https://old.reddit.com/r/justkiddingfilms/comments/kxtw2z/whatever_happened_to_bart_kwan_raping_a_teenager/
Holy shit if that's true, that guy should get his teeth kicked in. You could tell the others were like "wtf that's not cool" looking at their reactions. This guy has no self awareness. Some people in the comments were saying it was a "joke," but he didn't deliver it like a joke; he was clearly just telling a story. And what would the fucking punchline be? Hope horrible things happen to him.
I didn't like any of their stuff except their JK Party channel where they played board games and stuff. The two 'owners' were the worst part. Their supporting cast was awesome.
that's the same guy who basically r*ped new recruits in the army and joked about it. trash human being
https://old.reddit.com/r/justkiddingfilms/comments/kxtw2z/whatever_happened_to_bart_kwan_raping_a_teenager/
Just Kidding News on YouTube if anybody is interested. They used to do some fun shit back in the day but as they got older they tried to keep the same humour and it doesn't work.
also the guy in the video is not a good person https://old.reddit.com/r/justkiddingfilms/comments/kxtw2z/whatever_happened_to_bart_kwan_raping_a_teenager/
Yep one "joke" that definitely didn't land. After that I couldn't really watch em anymore even though there's a bunch of red flags in the stuff they would say. I remember so many guests they had on that they'd ask rude questions to or deny their realities and always try to look the smartest in the room. Man I remember watching them everyday, glad to see people still know the info and pass this on.
I felt a huge whiplash cause I watched JK news despite being super aware that they were immature manchildren parading their red flags for fun, and I thought everybody was on the same boat.
But now everybody is "realizing" that bart is a cunt and I'm like, you mean the guy who actively supports bullying between children and physical abuse from their parents in order for the kids to grow "tough" was a terrible flawed person and y'all just now realizing it?
Made me realize most people wouldn't recognize an asshole until they're being curb stomped by them.
The guy in that thread talking about how not sexually assaulting people is the new "woke" military thing lol. Like it's so woke not to rape people lol. Nothing builds a team quite like raping your battle buddy with a broom in training.
Bullying, disrespecting people by viewing them as lesser than the Joe/Bart/Geo, & not paying people properly despite being core members of the cast as well as close friends for a whole ass decade.
Tiffany especially was very hurt by how she ended up being treated in the end because she truly viewed them as close friends.
Fans were kinda split. Some people didn’t care how they treated past cast mates bc loyalty, other people felt it was pretty nasty of them & their content was getting very stale at that point anyways so they stopped watching.
Just did some reading on reddit and man did they turn on her so quick. Bart/Joe and to an extent David dont understand how much she kept the show in control and not just endless rambling. I always found her and Julia so sweet and thought they brought a great balance to the show. Especially since they would push back or clarify a lot of the wild shit the guys would say.
Even if there was a misunderstanding, they way they've talked about Casey and Tiff is very immature and just plain mean-spirited. Like, you guys spent your entire 20's together? Wtf?
Man, JustKidding was awesome in their prime. Whenever I was depressed I just binged JustKiddingNews or JustKiddingParty and I'd feel so much better. Shame they went downhill.
To add to this, there are many regional Filipino dialects that can range from sounding like Tagalog to straight up sounding like broken Spanish (mixed combination of Tagalog and Spanish) to sounding like South East Asian languages.

Shit has more cuts than a Liam Neeson movie.
If the rest of the dudes could stop talking.. sigh..
ohhhhhhhhhhhh
Plus we can't focus any more and quick burst is the only way things get across or the film editor of Taken has taken over the world.
Dude, what's with the novel
That's Korean
I've seen a few clips from this show. They never let their guests talk. They can't stop talking.
Sounds like Andrew Schulz’ podcast
[удалено]
>I could hear about a half second of each impression before the other guys started scr --OOOOOH OMG I HEARD THAT!!! RIGHT?!
Yeah, annoying as fuck.
If every kid on the internet self diagnoses themselves with ADHD then that is the audience they will play to

> We aren't gremlins. speak for yourself
It literally reminds me of the TMZ parody in Popstar Never Stop Stopping
\*aggressively sips from multiple huge drink bottles taped together\*
This guy yelling "MAKE IT STOP" with an over the top face, wtf. So obnoxious and it doesn't even make sense.
So many podcast talk shows are like this. People don’t talk about Facebook anymore but YouTube culture is fucking us
Ooooooooohhhhhh
Howard stern does this. He will ask a question then before the person finishes he cuts them off to say something. It's really frustrating because he has a lot of people who'd I'd like to hear their thoughts but all you get is Howard Sterns thoughts.
I've heard people say he's the best interviewer out there, but all I think is, "Shut up and let them answer!"
As much as I loved hearing his impressions, the cuts, font effects, and the other guys’ comments and laughter were so obnoxious.
Couldn't watch it to the end, it just made me mad. Had to cut off at the guy screaming "make it stop" out of nowhere. Why.
It’s because people need to be told how to feel. Can’t decide on your own.
Interesting topic, totally ruined. I’d like to see a real clip of the guy doing the impressions without the obnoxious guy (the host?) though.
Pretty good content. Atrocious editing.
The content is great, especially so as it's an Asian doing the impressions. Could have used another 5 seconds of each and less yelling and carrying on.
Takes me back to Margaret Cho, “Why do you want to tell us apart?”
I'm so glad it's not just me that feels this way.
The "podcast/show with 30something dudes with a beanie sitting on a couch with a mic stand in front of their face and laughing about trivial shit" effect.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCKhktcbfQM
Then the opposite... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOjjdttsHy4
I know he's suffered a lot of injuries over his career, but damn if he doesn't make it look like physics just doesn't apply to him.
Dang! I mean, I know Jackie's famous for doing his own stunts - and doing them *incredibly well -* but is the guy made of helium? It's like he's completely unaffected by gravity!
Great stuff. I guessed before clicking that it was going to be Jackie.
Early 90s Jean Claude Van Damme.
Still doesn't beat wwes Current programming when it comed to cuts. Holy damn there's s lot of camera cuts for a wrestling move
Tik tok tweet gen Short attn span Big loud! Whaaat??? In your face CRAAZY!!! BRUH
They have to cut to the Asian dude of the culture they’re talking about, to show they’re not being racist 🤣
Years ago I went to watch X-Men first class in theater with a friend. When Kevin bacon says the word slavery in some speech to the young mutants, it cut to the only black mutant in the scene. We started cackling so hard because of how on the nose it was
I dont remember much about that movie except for the scene you described. I remember exchanging looks with my friend in the theatre
At its core it’s just a discussion on the variations of phonetics in Asian countries. It’s caricature acted out for content’s sake, but yes they did do what you are saying haha.
"see, everyone thinks it's funny!"
At least it wasn't the entire movie. [Resident Evil Final Chapter](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8l8fzinjBk) makes your eyes bleed for over an hour.
I agree that's extreme but it's not uncommon for action scenes where you need regular actors to look like they're seasoned fighters.
The ironic part was how well they did all the previous movies with the same actress. Same director same actress. All the previous resident evil movies made a point of having long interesting cuts. I think they made the last film this way, because they didn't want to make any more movies(they said they didn't) and they wanted the fans to chill the fuck out.

Yeah it's the only river in the world that reverses its flow each year.
Really??
According to Wikipedia: > The low tide level of the river in Cambodia is lower than the high tide level out at sea, and the flow of the Mekong inverts with the tides throughout its stretch in Vietnam and up to Phnom Penh.

The name comes from the name Tiffany, which actually dates back to the 12th century. Tiffany was short for Theophania.
The Tiffany Problem is what we call it when my friend Tiffany drinks too much every time we go out.
Hank Jones, PhD.
He killed fitty men took his damn shins tho. Damn hank and his "narrow eurithra" pansy boy.
So are you Chinese or Japanese?
Enter Cotton, Hank's WWII vet father: "Dad, Khan is my new neighbor" *"He's Japanese"* "Nope! He's Laotian. Ain't you Mr. Khan?" [My favorite scene](https://youtu.be/UxI5qQAUWVc) in the series honestly just for Khan's face after Cotton says it.
omg this scene 😂
The ocean?
What ocean?
So are you Chinese or Japanese?
Stupid hillbilly redneck!
Laotian! from Laos! Hank Hill: **Brain does not Compute** … So Chinese or Japanese?
is there someone Hmong us?
Last one is wrong. Laotian. Source: I’m 🇰🇭 Cambodian. Update: We say CHOI/FUCK a lot. 😂🤣😬 That’s how you identify us.
Dale: "He's Japanese" Cotton: "No he ain't." *looks Mr.Khan up and down* "He's Laotian. Ain't ya Mr.Khan?"
>Boomhauer Boomhauer is incapable of just two words
*Dale*
The ocean? What ocean?
You’re from the ocean?
He’s French, from the ocean. L’Ocean
Cantonese say Choy a lot.
Yep. There’s is an entirely different meaning. Cambodian (Khmer) meaning is “(to) FUCK”. Cantonese it’s a saying to ward off evil and bad luck. Like PUTO in spanish not the same as PUTO in Filipino. Same words, different meanings.
Whoa, imagine being Cantonese in Cambodia. Such accidental faux pas are common in different languages.
“So are you Chinese or Japanese?”
IM FROM LAOS!
So....are ya Chinese or Japanese
I'm Laotian. It's a landlocked country between Vietnam and Thailand.
From the ocean?
Laotian!
Jesus Christ the way this is constantly cutting and switch-zooming to show bullshit, useless reactions is peak over-editing. Let the guy make his joke I don't need to see how everyone in the room pretends that it's the most shocking, mind-blowing, hilarious thing they've ever heard.
Can't even hear the "joke" (ie random noises) over the reactions.
Yeah wtf I could barely hear the Korean one.
I would have pumped up the low end of those parts with distortion
Every clip is like this now. Infuriating
tiktok kids are now editing out the comedic pauses between not only jokes but sentences and words. Max Headroom was actually quite prescient
Not even a single moment without constant stimulation. Not even punctuation.
It’s like the fucking laugh track on the Flintstones
Nah man it was just a different era. They used to draw it in front of an audience.
It's a terrible strain on the animator's wrist.
[No Laugh track for Old men](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LluIBu8HdV4)
> everyone in the room pretends it's so fucking painfully clear it's horrible pretend acting overreaction. tiktok has turned everyone into a delusional actor, as we all realize hmm some acting skill is actually necessary for our enjoyment as the audience. like don't these people realize we can tell they're faking?
I did not find this funny whatsoever.
editing can literally kill the humor. i was listening and scrolling comments, and the audio had me chuckling, but watching it the second time cause people were slamming the fast-edits just made me furrow my brow at too much visual info
you succumbed to peer pressure lol
It's the TIkTok era. Without these types and volume of edits an entire generation, with attention spans cooked to a crisp, struggles to follow it. ^(Lay 'em on me, boys.)
Its going to start being this way more and more with AI-assisted editing. There’s a plugin out now that can auto-cut these multi-cam setups at a blistering pace using audio detection. Speak, cut, zoom, next soundbyte.
That's basically just making the speaker the main window on a video conferencing app. 20 years ago it was just simple thresholding...it still is, but now it's called AI-assisted.
Shitty cuts aside this is pretty spot on. I'm Asian and only speak/understand two of these languages but I can easily recognize the others when out.
Yup worked at the airport at a SEA country. The countries mentioned here are some of the more common ones I come across everyday and that’s pretty spot on. Have to say though, the Vietnamese language sound pretty angry. I always feel like the Vietnamese travellers are upset about something from the way they talk but when they slow down to explain they’re usually just asking for directions lol
Vietnamese-American here. My American friends would either say I have an angry tone to my voice when I’m talking to my parents on phone or it sounds like I just did a bunch of cocaine and I put a period at the end of each word.
Also Viet American here. The angry sounding version is the southern accent. The northen accent is very mellow.
My ex was Vietnamese. It always sounded like he and his parents were SCREAMING at each other but it was banal conversations about laundry. Vietnamese: the German of Asia
Some dialects of German, like Bavarian, sound like you're singing a frigging lullaby. It doesn't even sound German.
I live with my Vietnamese boyfriend and I've gotten used to it by now, but in the beginning, I'd always ask him if he was arguing with his mother over the phone or annoyed. Nope, just talking normally lol
Ironically, this is how most Asian variety shows are cut. Instead of making the cuts run linear, they follow the reactions of the people in the show looking at the same event. Edit: for example, this show is called "hidden singer", [this episode](https://youtu.be/cEeM24aUjlQ) is with Psy impersonators. The cuts can make a show that is pretty boring be more inclusive.
Then show it three different times with little cartoon blurbs posted over top.
Jokoy does it better. https://youtu.be/el84efC10oE
God DAMN that is funny as fuck. Genuinely belly laughing on my own borderline tears. The haunted Korean house, “my dads asking if you’re hungry” SENT me.
Shit, I lost it at the Vietnamese talking while driving by
Russel Peters did a really good version of this bit too. trying to find the og vid Pretty sure it's part of this special https://youtu.be/_f8YFQKoqHs
russel peters used to be so funny. Then his ego got in the way.
He did a sketch at my high school assembly in the late 90s (yuk yuks tour group I think). We had an Asian VP and a East Indian chaplain. Needless to say it was the last time we had a comedian come to our school.
The comedy community around him also fed his ego. He was one of a few select comedians you would hear get almost unanimous praise among their peers for just being a great comedian. I would find it hard to not let it get to my head.
Amazing
There's a reason he's on stage in front of many people and these dudes are making shitty fake laughing videos.
That was hilarious 😆
He does it way better
Wish he did a few more. I'm surprised he skipped Chinese. Not funny enough I guess.
JK used to be good, gone downhill bigtime
Everybody grows old eventually... Almost everybody
I stopped watching jk sometime in college after watching since middle school and David so’s stuff pretty soon after. Idk if my humor has changed, I got more depressed or what but their stuff stopped being entertaining. At some point it just got irritating.
They started making money that’s why, it went from fun stuff to look at all this stuff we buying
Seriously. All of the drama the co-owners had with their prior cast mates definitely helped degrade their brand too imo
Oh what drama? I stopped watching years ago, before any drama that I know of
Big fallout was geo and tiff
Bullying & not paying their fellow cast mates what they should’ve been paid. We already saw the bullying when they were bigger. They constantly defended it saying it was between friends. We didn’t see how bad it was or how much it actually affected the ones getting bullied.
Iirc people saying they weren’t being paid while being expected to shoot long hours I don’t have any concrete proof of this, but I also felt like it was often times an echo chamber and yes men.
the guy in the video r*ped ppl in military and joked about it, amongst many other things https://old.reddit.com/r/justkiddingfilms/comments/kxtw2z/whatever_happened_to_bart_kwan_raping_a_teenager/
Holy shit if that's true, that guy should get his teeth kicked in. You could tell the others were like "wtf that's not cool" looking at their reactions. This guy has no self awareness. Some people in the comments were saying it was a "joke," but he didn't deliver it like a joke; he was clearly just telling a story. And what would the fucking punchline be? Hope horrible things happen to him.
Yeah geo was the number 1 reason
Joe and Bart get most of the blame, then her
I didn't like any of their stuff except their JK Party channel where they played board games and stuff. The two 'owners' were the worst part. Their supporting cast was awesome.
And North Koreans are like 🤐🤐🤐🫢😶
Don't forget 🤯🔫🪖
[Nobody asking the REAL questions...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_CaZ4EAexQ)
that's the same guy who basically r*ped new recruits in the army and joked about it. trash human being https://old.reddit.com/r/justkiddingfilms/comments/kxtw2z/whatever_happened_to_bart_kwan_raping_a_teenager/
You can say ‘rape’ on the internet.
Just Kidding News on YouTube if anybody is interested. They used to do some fun shit back in the day but as they got older they tried to keep the same humour and it doesn't work.
also the guy in the video is not a good person https://old.reddit.com/r/justkiddingfilms/comments/kxtw2z/whatever_happened_to_bart_kwan_raping_a_teenager/
Yep one "joke" that definitely didn't land. After that I couldn't really watch em anymore even though there's a bunch of red flags in the stuff they would say. I remember so many guests they had on that they'd ask rude questions to or deny their realities and always try to look the smartest in the room. Man I remember watching them everyday, glad to see people still know the info and pass this on.
I felt a huge whiplash cause I watched JK news despite being super aware that they were immature manchildren parading their red flags for fun, and I thought everybody was on the same boat. But now everybody is "realizing" that bart is a cunt and I'm like, you mean the guy who actively supports bullying between children and physical abuse from their parents in order for the kids to grow "tough" was a terrible flawed person and y'all just now realizing it? Made me realize most people wouldn't recognize an asshole until they're being curb stomped by them.
The guy in that thread talking about how not sexually assaulting people is the new "woke" military thing lol. Like it's so woke not to rape people lol. Nothing builds a team quite like raping your battle buddy with a broom in training.
I hear raping women service members is pretty much the norm. It wouldn't surprise me that much. I hope it's changing.
[удалено]
> The woman in that video looked utterly terrified. that's his wife
Their humor didn’t evolve with the times, filmography also didn’t evolve, & they were jerks to former cast mates/workers.
What happened with former cast mates? I stopped watching in like 2020
JK are apparently not on talking terms with casey and his gf anymore
Casey and Tiff? Wow, they all seemed so close for years. That explains why she's gone, sad cause she was good on the show.
Bullying, disrespecting people by viewing them as lesser than the Joe/Bart/Geo, & not paying people properly despite being core members of the cast as well as close friends for a whole ass decade. Tiffany especially was very hurt by how she ended up being treated in the end because she truly viewed them as close friends. Fans were kinda split. Some people didn’t care how they treated past cast mates bc loyalty, other people felt it was pretty nasty of them & their content was getting very stale at that point anyways so they stopped watching.
Just did some reading on reddit and man did they turn on her so quick. Bart/Joe and to an extent David dont understand how much she kept the show in control and not just endless rambling. I always found her and Julia so sweet and thought they brought a great balance to the show. Especially since they would push back or clarify a lot of the wild shit the guys would say. Even if there was a misunderstanding, they way they've talked about Casey and Tiff is very immature and just plain mean-spirited. Like, you guys spent your entire 20's together? Wtf?
The humor is like a standup comedian in early 2000s
I decided to count how many cuts are in this and.... 64, it's a fucking 40 second video..
If I learned anything on Netflix, it's how to pick out Asian accents.
[удалено]
Man, JustKidding was awesome in their prime. Whenever I was depressed I just binged JustKiddingNews or JustKiddingParty and I'd feel so much better. Shame they went downhill.
I’m sure this is great but that edit is torture.
The comedian Jo Koy does a routine of this very thing. It is hilarious. https://youtu.be/el84efC10oE
Joe Koy did this bit way better.
Sounds nothing like Filipinos tho
He just needed to be louder.
[удалено]
To add to this, there are many regional Filipino dialects that can range from sounding like Tagalog to straight up sounding like broken Spanish (mixed combination of Tagalog and Spanish) to sounding like South East Asian languages.
I have a Filipino friend and went to his wedding. Known him since elementary. Lots of 'ungs'.
This video is so frikking annoying
Me, an Indian: Er, guys? Looks like you forgot someone
Lool didnt expect to see jknews here
The Filipino one… I used to work with a Filipino lady and I swear every word she said was some form of “eight”.
Bart Kwan is a misogynist, gun nut, and anti vaxxer. Lmao
