Chinese parents don't say "I love you". They say, "you okay for money?" or "Ah, you're not eating enough!" or "Here, I bought extra, you have it" (hands you about 3 heaping grocery bags of produce.)
I'm not Chinese but that exactly what my dad and grandma did hahaha
Asian here, can attest it's true. They've only ever given me a direct compliment maybe once in my life: when they told me they're proud of my job at a foreign company and how much I'm earning... before telling me that I sound miserable and that I need to find a career I actually dont loathe. I love them and am grateful for the work ethic they've instilled, but a strict childhood do be causing much baggage for the kid. Still don't know what to chat about with them because I've kept my life private for so long for fear of criticism.
I would love people to ask me if I'm okay for money.
Straight away to point😂
By yy. Yvy
I am not Asian, but when my brother called and talked of how much he loved and cared about me. My first question was are you okay, are you dying or injured. I asked him at least five times during that phone call😂😂
Gotta appreciate a brother that calls just to let you know he cares about you🥺💕
Molly.
I mean i would 100% believe he was dying if my brother ever did that
Im Asian, if my brother calls me and says he loves me. I will have a line of questions to ask. What crime did you commit? Are you drunk, dying or how much you gonna borrow?
Truth - I found a crawfish crawling around a Vietnamese grocery store once and returned it to the seafood department, and the guy said, "yeah - they're all over the store." I don't wear sandals there anymore.
haha
Restaurants were fine, but the oriental markets often seem pretty disheveled!
Passed by the tanks, one snail is over the side making a run for it. Passed the tanks at the end of my shopping, a dozen snails are now hauling shell towards freedom and Spartacus is all the way to the floor.
Haha welcome to Vietnam. Xin chào!
As a science teacher fresh food from the Asian grocery is cheaper than preserved specimens for lab disections. Plus every once in a while there are those crazy deserts you have to try like sweet corn ice cream.
I worked for a Chinese couple for years, everything they bought was on sale. I came in one day after a light bulb needed to be replaced, the whole place was glowing green. It looked bizarre. But that was the least expensive bulb they could find so we all looked sea sick until that bulb burnt out too lol
And if you look at their bank account it has 7 figures saved up lol.
No wonder they make their kids study so hard. They know they will have the funds to send them to MIT!
Funny that you mentioned seasick with a username "blue whale"
Funniest standup in 2022… so natural and cool on stage, and perfect original material that rings true. Reminds me of Bill Cosby routine and delivery in the early 60s.
Plain cheap . Hahahaha
Pro Tip: you buy that foaming soap one time. When you run out you take 50% water and 50% cheap hand soap of a similar scent. If you thin down the regular soap it will work in those dispensers. Now you have the status symbol soap of the ritch family with the price tag of the zest guy. Jimmys dad would be proud. What a deal!
naw my fam just adds straight up water 😂
I use your technique but I use No Name dish soap, for hand soap, shampoo, all house hold cleaning and of course for dishes. Soap is soap, all made from sodium
@@jhonnyutah943 nah just use baking soda for everything, it's a good deal.
yeh it's just watery soap with a foaming pump!
status symbol of the ritch family 😂😂🤣🤣
As an asian myself I can confirm that we will die from cringe if a family member said I love you to us it’s just not our thing.
Fr
soo trueeee
Yeah man. The words just don't make me feel good.
@@skyereave9454 I love you
It's even more cringe in India!!
Lol, I'm a white lady who is *frugal* and when I moved to California and wandered into an Asian supermarket I was all about it. Asian supermarkets are the best, right after Hispanic ones, my top choice! If you grew up in a rural town too small to have a big supermarket in the 70s, and you miss the butcher counter, the atmosphere, and buying fruit for 79 cents Hispanic supermarkets have you covered, if you want bargains and excitement Asian supermarkets are awesome!
I go to the Mercados , the tiny Indians stores and the Asian super markets . half the time idk what I'm looking at when It comes to food unless it still has eyes or its fresh cheap produce but I know cooking tools ... .
I'm from a pretty Hispanic area to the point where I can read and understand Spanish pretty well even though I don't speak the language. I went into a market in town just looking for some of the Mexican chips that are harder to find at a regular grocery store and I was in complete shock. They managed to fit an entire grocery store into a space the size of a small barber shop. And I looked at the prices they had and they weren't bad either. Honestly Walmart is probably about the same cost but then you gotta deal with walking around the whole store and waiting in line for an hour because they have one register open. Same place with the European deli in town. It's a little bigger of a building but has an entire deli, bakery, liquor section, produce section plus regular canned/ bagged items you'd normally find at the store. Now I understand how people's grandparents are able to shop exclusively at places like that.
They're so exotic. I like snacking on dried seafood. Vietnamese beef jerky is delicious.
asian supermarket? you guys mean chinese supermakets? chinese, korean, japanese, they're all pretty different. korean supermarkets have crazy mark-ups on american food. so white people don't generally go there unless they like korean food. chinese markets are much cheaper and dirtier and japanese markets are cleaner and much smaller.
and obviously the food is very different too.
Jimmy's delivery and timing are razor sharp. It's not just humor, it's Asian intelligence steering that ship.
I could listen to Jimmy all day long. He reminds me of a few of my friends when I was growing up in garden grove California. They were always ripping on their parents and they were funny as well. Never a dull moment hanging out with them.
give them a call and reminisce on the old days!
Yes. White baby boomers just complained about awful parents. Our parents weren't funny. Guess that's why we grew up to be tree hugging hippies taking on trying to solve all the troubles of the world!
ayee garden grove, lots of asians there lmao
OMG !!! I'm totally from CA - Orange County. You are so right about Garden Grove. There's Asian markets, restaurants, stores. My Thai friend took me to a cosmetic store there. Great memories
“Mom I love you” “OMYGOSH ARE U DYING?” 💀
Oh man! My dad used to sing "I love you, my son, I love you so much" just to make me cringe 🤣😅 but at the end of the day I know he meant it too 🥲 miss you dad. Best Asian dad ever ❤️
I used to work right next to a Ranch 99. This is pretty on point. Place had solid bao at a great price at the cafeteria, just had to pray the person at the register spoke enough English for me to order. No atmosphere whatsoever, but it was functional. And three times a week one of the older Chinese dudes who worked the place would come over and buy cigarettes. Didn't speak a word of English, but he'd communicate via grunts and pointing, pay in cash, and leave, but he'd leave with that sorta half smile every time. One of the best regular customers I ever had.
“that guy with the green soap 🧼 that says zest on it. peasant! Stay away from that guy! he is gonna ask u for money.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Omgosh that's so funny. My youngest son will beg to go to the asian supermarket in town to see the fish tanks. It's one of the few places he's cool with going.
my kids too especially the crabs . they love eating boiled baby octopuses
We're Mexican (mostly lol) and if we call just to say "I love you" it'll be pretty much a conversation of "What do you want?" "Nothing, just wanted to say I love you." "Yeah, ha. Really. What do you want?" "Nothing! I just wanted to say I love you!" "I love you too, now what do you WANT!" lol
Yeah, same here in the Philippines. 🤣🤣🤣
@@Marvelous1616 probably a relation thing lol. Story in my family goes that a group of 5 brothers several generations ago left their home country and all branched out. Spain, Portugal, Italy, Mexico, The Philippines. The spelling of the last name changed, but we're all still the same bunch of crazy bassturds lol
That's funny
Watched this video in the bathroom. Washed my hands with foam instead of soap when he got to this point. Now I'm feeling upper class 😎
"one time I got high..." the most American thing Jimmy has ever said.
“oh jimmy ah, do you have cancer?” OMG AHAHAHAHAHHAA
I am an asian too from India and I can relate to each and every thing he says we Asians are all the same 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Indians are asians?! i didnt know bout that
I think it's fair to say Indians are as asian as Australians
@@thebacontwins9929 same continent
@@lltbcke oh. That makes sense.
no you are not. Only common people tend to be/act the same. With culture/education this changes :) Increasingly (i hope this is a word in english)
The hand soap bit was one of the most original bits I've heard in a while. I always thought he was really funny but now I'm thinking I still underrated him.
The watering down soap omg hits home🤣🤣🤣
this is the most asian thing about soap XD
He’s not wrong. Every *great* Chinese restaurant I’ve been at looked like utter shit 😂
Truth! If it's clean, it's probably not authentic. 😅
Roaches are flavor.
😆😆😆
Restaurants were fine, but the oriental markets often seem pretty disheveled!
That’s how you know they care more about making great food then making a bougie atmosphere
I have that soft soap bottle with clown fish bottle in my restroom Right now. 😂
Calls Mom for no reason: Mom, I love you. Mom: *answers* Why? What you want? What'd you do? You dying? 😂😂😂
So true, at least for me, when I’m going out to eat with family or friends I couldn’t care less about the decor or atmosphere of the restaurant, food is the number one reason I decide where to eat, of course adequate service and basic hygiene are necessary.
😄😄😄I know I never went out w you!😁
That Ranch 99 part is so hilarious yet so true
Listening to Jimmy kinda flashback my whole life. As Asian I feel so relatable. He's good story teller and natural 😉🖒
So true about the hand soap, after a few week there no more soap it’s just water.😂😂😂😂
Asian stepmom does this with dish soap, drives everyone crazy since it's just not effective and runs off the dishes without foaming.
O Jimiyah! Do you have a cancer? That got me totally LOL
Is it me or I just can’t stop watching these🤣
Im a grown adult and started going to 2 different asian grocery stores near my sister's place every time i visit for this exact reason. Dinner and a show, it's a great deal!
Have to love that “organic vodka”. Just because it says organic doesn’t mean it is good for your health. Lots of consumers associate organic with better health which is how marketing departments make absurd profits for their companies.
if you've ever seen the skull & crossbones on the soil drench fungicides they grow the potatoes in, well, be my guest and buy regular potatoes.
All alcahol is allready organic its fetmented fruits and crops salt is organic meat is organic it can all still kill u in abundance
Uh .. fungicide is used so that fungus doesn't grow in the plants to keep up the quality .. that's , why it's called " fungicide " do you even know what fungicide is or did you just get that word off a fox news article i mean if you wanna pay 5 dollars extra for potatoes with mushrooms in them then go ahead
Organic is not healthier. It's a marketing term. The term organic actually means....carbon. that's it.
So true. I used to work for a fabric company that sold “organic” cotton. People, it’s ALL bull crap!! Even though products say they’re “certified” I can assure you that it isn’t legit. It’s all a scam and those companies issuing these certificates are just another money making industry.
“Do you have cancer?” 🤣
Do you have a-cancer
I can't get over the cancer thing. It made me laugh, but I'm also glad his mom loves him.
“Organic” is a bad way to misspell overpriced
That's the only meaning I take from that word when it comes to products. It's bullshet language like "fresh scent" and "doctor tested".
Society is so dumb…… No matter how organically people eat or how much organic soap people use….. You will still die but the soil they use to cover your coffin is not organic soil.
This exactly.
Truth
Its also totally unregulated by the FDA, nobody actually checks that something is organic or not. They can slap an organic label on anything they want and charge double for it.
My childhood is so accurately represented by his standup
The only compliment I've ever received from my Chinese mom is... I'm proud of you! Your personality if very similar to mine.
This guy is gold!! Hilarious. 😆
"Make America Foam Again"!!! Aaaahahahaha!!!! LOVE IT!! I nearly wet my pants!!!! 😄😆😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Yup! You’re right…true! We don’t show and tell ours kids enough that we love them! 💞♥️🇵🇭🇺🇸
I can relate in every way possible
The only time my mom said the words I love you it was because she didn’t know the English word for heart. So she’d call it an “I love you”. Lol.
I love how the audience is groaning and gasping and pearl-clutching as much as they're laughing
He's right about the 99 Ranch Market. I always went to the back to scare the fish and look at the crabs.
This guy is sooo funny, one of the best out here!
So funny Jimmy Yang all his jokes land
Jimmy, you're killin it!
the ranch 99 😭 man u won’t believe how many times i’ve been yelled at for trying to touch the fish as a kid
True thing about the "i love you". I never said love to my parents, its there but were not that lovey dovey. My grandma died and my mum was crying, I hugged her and it was an awkward hug because we never hugged ever.
"Make America foam again, people." Genius!!
“I love you mom” “Oh Jimmy yah, do you have a cancer?” 😂😂😂😂😂
Hi Jimmy. I just stumbled on your videos a bit ago. Great Asian comedy stuff! I'll start tuning in. Also enjoy K-Von.
My favourite comedian! ❤
My brother said thank you and I love you to my parents during his graduation and my parents are still clowning him and cringing about it to this day it's been like 10 years.
Not a doctor yet?
That aquarium part in any Asian supermarket is quite true and funny lol
That last jock was so accurate 😂😅😅😅
My spouse hates to pay for atmosphere too! If a restaurant has a table cloth he thinks, “See, that’s how they get you!” 🙄
I graduated from Zest soap to Irish Spring Aloe. Been using it for over 10 years and love it.
and people can TELL that you washed your hands coming out of the lav. Either that or you just did your laundry at the Mexican launderette.
I tell my kid I love him at least two times a day. In the morning when I drop him off for school and and bed time. He’s a sophomore 😂
Talented ❤😂
Hahaha i have to agree. When i buy fish back at home, it's still swimming.
I do like his mom with a slight change, my cousin is a "foamy soap" type of person, every time you use the soap it smells like you're in the middle of a fruit orchard or you're on a beach, then one day I asked if I could have the bottle when she was done. Realized that all the foaming action is due to how the soap dispenser is engineered, so all get is that big jug of refill softsoap from Costco then refill the bottle 5:1 water-soap, and BAM instant foam soap dispenser! Sure the smell it has is that of "soap" but I can feel like a prince even though my paycheck is that of a pauper.
Been doing this for years, it's funny to think about because I'm pretty sure the foaming hand soap is just normal soap that has been watered down, yet you pay more.
We've been doing this for years, the soap pump eventually dies and then we get a new one
@@ashrowan2143 Yeah but years of rich people tier foamy soap but paying pennies on the dollar!
.k
@@ashrowan2143 Here in UK the posh soap in the visitors toilet is shaped like little roses and they sit in a little ceramic dish shaped like a sea shell or sometimes in an actual sea shell.
The hand soap part is hilarious !!!
Hello Jimmy! Everything you said is true! I went into a Chinese market one time to look around, and nobody in there spoke English! I never felt so out of place being a "White Guy"!
Glad you finally felt that way
@@aroobaberlas Lol
English language? Hmmmm
No big deal. Go to a pub in a white expat area in Hong Kong or Shanghai and no body in there including the waiters speak Chinese.
The first time I was invited to my Vietnamese friends parents house for dinner I was the only white guy in a room of Vietnamese all talking at the same time. I'm thinking that this must be what a POW felt like in Hanoi in 1970. They are like my family now.
He's the best Asian comedian.
The funniest part about that growth hormone joke for me is that I actually do take synthetic growth hormone in the form of an injection every night. If I heard that there was growth hormone in food then you better believe I would take all of it.
never thought I'd laugh so hard about soap. than again this hits so close to home even from a diffrent culture in a diffrent country.
my chinese family express their love by saying how usefull we are in the family
Fucking true my man
I love this guy! My first time seeing him. I'd like to see him perform live, that would be a great evening.
He is having a show in Vegas the Mirage either this month or next.
It’s a great deal!
Lol this is so true
The store is 99 Ranch! LOL!
THANK YOU JIMMY YOU HAVE REPRESENT THE ASIAN
lol nice call back
one of the best stand up comics...ever
Jimmy is my new favorite comedian. I love him.
Lol. Can't stop laughing. 😂
The ultimate level is when you have individual hand towels properly folded besides the sink for guests.
I like this guy he's hilarious 😂
Same in here 😂😂😂😂 Chinese grocery stores, in Paris, 🇫🇷 😅im Asian French. Il me fait kiffer Jimmy. Trop fort! 👍 👏👏
That air soap!!! 🤣
Respect this person.
Seriously, this guy is on par with the biggest names in the industry !!!
Make America foam again people”❤❤ 😂😂😂
Solid..nice!
I’ve never heard of this guy until now but he’s really good. Very funny !
Watching Silicon Valley now and Jimmy did a brilliant job pulling off the accent.
He’s Hilarious 😂
xD the soap thing is just universal
lol jimmy is right, my toddler's favorite activity these days is to go to asian mart with her grandma and watch those swimming fish
I went another level and have simplehuman’s automatic soap dispenser that detects your hand to dispense soap. It’s like the fancy bathroom dispensers. It’s like I’m living in the future! The next step will be a robot washing my hands for me.
Jimmy O is my favorite and he’s easy on the eyes 👀
Love this guy he so funny
OMG. I was laughing so hard, I seriously almost just wet myself. I am a 58 year-old woman who is also a mother, so I have an excuse. On the "organic" front, I was in an undergraduate Biology class at Cal State, Northridge about 30 years ago, which would have been about the time when all this "organic" stuff started trending. My teacher said, "Hey, you guys. Listen up. Let me save you some trouble and some money. Scientifically, organic just means carbon-based, ok? Anything that includes carbon at the molecular level is, therefore, organic. So save your time and money, and don't buy organic." And the teacher wasn't even Asian. Hah! So good. I am, however, going to forward this to my daughter and her boyfriend who happens to be Korean to see if it is accurate. Good stuff. Thanks. : )
GMO s are carbon based?
@@julumarie Yes, of course, genetically modified organisms are carbon based, but that is not really your point, is it? Good grief.
I was told by a friend who had an organic farm that in order to be considered organic legally you cannot use any chemicals.
@@judithrichards5754 As I understand it, that is true. In order to be considered "certified organic," there cannot have been any chemicals used for 5 years. However, that is a "relatively" recent phenomenon established by the FDA. From a biologist's point of view, however, which is/was the profession of the teacher who I alluded to, "technically," organic just means carbon-based.
Yes, the word choice seems arbitrary and designed to decieve consumers. They really just mean 'fewer chemicals used in the process'. To make things more random, the same products are known in French/ Spanish as 'biological'. So you didn't spray a bunch of pesticides on this tomato? It's biological. Utter nonsense.
You know its a good oriental store when you can walk in and already smell dried squid and shrimp
Hey, dried squid is very expensive, I can't even afford it Right now, 06-22 , can't afford rice also! Thnx Brandon with his ( Blame others Policy)
😂😂😂
You are seriously funny!
🤣don’t forget the fancy soap dispenser you have to fill w soap and it matches the decor lol
Yeah but you can buy nice dispenser one time and then fill it with dollar store liquid soap that's like $1/quart
@@kaylaa5699 yep lol
Probably because of lack of family social gathering as I grew up, I actually have some family members like my parents, aunts, and uncles and certain older cousins who actually like to hug and say I love you when we do meet. It becomes more common yet still so awkward 😅, for me. Its starting to sound like the magic word to get rid of long term distancing and separation or to say oh, we still care about you, we haven’t forgotten you. You see, I said I still love you. 😂
I love how he takes this piss out of his own culture he is so funny
I love Jimmy. I can listen to him all day!
last part on I love you stuff is so real lol. If my family says i love you to me I'd be nervous and thought sth. really bad happens and the i love you stuff serve as a pre-farewell
Can attest. Chinese don't say I love you. I've only ever given my mom a hug once and that was when I got accepted into the university of her choice. I know I'm gonna cry when she's on her death bed, but even then, my love for her will still only be shown in tears. Edit: changed Asians to Chinese.
are you chinese? do chinese people really not show love to their family? koreans are not like this at all, please stop saying asians do this. if anything, koreans over-share.
@@jp-sn6si sorry, I should've said Chinese. My wife is Korean. Her best friend is her mom.
