No one really knows where Obama was born. Quite like Trump's tax returns, it seems that for whatever reason Obama treats his place of birth as if it were a state secret.
The Rock actually makes a point that the Aloha Spirit of Hawaii which is part of the culture among the natives, regardless of nationality, is to treat people with kindness and open welcomes. However many tourists see that this niceness and tolerance for rudeness as a sign of weakness to exploit and treat natives like shat. So yes this skit does express frustration of many who work to appease tourists. Tourism isn't the sole business which keeps us alive...we do have businesses and educated people in Hawaii.

I wont disagree with you. Being raised here, i think nowadays working in an area with a lot of tourists, I can see why we get mad at them. A lot of them dont know how to drive, how to act, and can be very disrespectful.

Yes, tourism is a big source of money in Hawaii. But the natives there aren't impoverished charity cases being rescued by the industry, and they don't need money because they've done something wrong. It's tourism that is driving up prices to a ridiculous level. In some places in Hawaii, the cost of rent is among the highest in the country. Minimum or low wage jobs in the tourism industry won't allow natives to be competitive in a housing market saturated by wealthy folks who want a cool vacation spot. Of course they're bitter about tourists, because they contribute to the problem while remaining blissfully ignorant.
@stirange ya but who ruined Hawaii’s economy, forcing them to rely on tourism? the answer is white people when americans overthrew Haiwaii’s sovereign queen attempting to turn it into a bannana republic :)
@@overthinking1843 same like in the Caribbean. Tourists have no problem staying at the most expensive resorts hardly going any further in the islands then say how cheap and nice the place is when we can barely afford food and bills

Xyron Encarnacion Little bit yes. We acknowledge that a lot of you guys are chill, but most that actually come to places like Disney’s resort are fucking annoying. Hell the most xenophobic people on the plant, Japanese people, are nicer to locals that some mainland tourists.
Coming from a Hawaiian, there are a lot of negative sentiments towards tourist about the forcefully annexed Hawaii. Especially when its rubbed in our faces. I, myself learned to accept the fact that it is not right to blame the child of the fathers. If they tend to rub it however, it's impossible not to get just a little ticked off.

Where the hell is Disney when this is happening???
The Rock is such a great dancer and singer too. Love this skit making us laugh and enjoy the music and the dance, and at the same time we can learn to respect and appreciate native Hawaiians who work hard and ensure us, the tourists.
The Rock is probably one of the better hosts on SNL. I'm always thoroughly entertained by the skits he does. My favorite is definitely the one where he joins the evil villains organization by making a robot that molest children.

The way the rocks legs and hands moves....sooo cute😁
Dwayne has a pleasant singing voice
love the knocking over a drink bit. and the rock is maybe the only celeb guest who can read off a card and still be entertaining
What Maui did post-Moana
Rock's voice is awesome.... And he's also got beautiful moves
As a resident of Hawaii I can confirm these are all true
Rock has such a great voice, he can't hold it back
Aloha hard..
what a entertainer!! THE ROCK is the greatest.
Who the hell took this comment off of 69 likes?
as a Hawaiian native, I approve of this skit.
Until today, I never knew there was footage of the Rock singing and dancing in a grass skirt. My life has just become even better!😂
My favorite is then he knocks over their drinks and doesn't say a word
but also, The Rock's voice is very nice
1:57, I imagine every tropical country has people who would say something like that
I think the rock spilling their drinks for the second time was improv.
This is one of the funniest skits ever! The Rock is hilarious, the more stuff I see him in I can’t help but be a fan!!
That was hilarious and on point. Oh lord, the rock is hot as hell.
When the Rock knocks down the kups on Keenan and Jason! 😂
2:18 That little silence from the audience... what can I say about that?
Wow dwayne has a very soothing singing voice :D
2:50 my reaction when I hear the same unoriginal joke for the thousandth time
God, the Rock is sooooooo insanely hot. Mind blowing.
Dwayne Johnson is so incredibly charming even when he’s insulting I love it
3:49 aloha HARD 🤣
I love how they couldn’t coordinate the song 😂😂😂😂😂😂
And that was the moment he realized he had to play Maui in a Disney movie
The Rock is hot when he's not so beefy. Sorry that's the only adjective I could think of to describe someone who's muscular.
Lmao! All accurate but the most was the Rocks "unowat!"
dwayne's dance is so smooth though, and his singing is good too!
I have this quarter Hawaiian girl in my class who always talks about how bad life is there and how tourists ruin it😂 this reminded of her😂
2:33 Okay respect that 😂😂😂😂😂💔💔
Brah apparently they stay on my home of Kaua'i nei but they show Waikiki in the beginning?
Nathan Wong The Sheraton Waikiki
Saverio Salemme no, that’s the Moana surfrider in Waikiki
The Rock has a beautiful and soothing singing voice.
I’ve never been to Hawaii and now I no longer feel bad about that
i love how much this actually represents what it’s like being a local in hawaii
The Rock is pretty funny here!!!
Fred trying to hold back The Rock was priceless, I nearly died!
9 years later this hits hard as Lahaina is burning and tourists are still arriving in boats to go snorkelling, or complaining that their wedding is ruined. "Nah, it's not ruined. You can just photoshop the dead bodies out of the background of your seaside wedding photos". Where the hell are the resort owners to help with the rescue effort?!! Where the hell is Disney when this is happening???
“Yeah ALOHA HARD!” 🤣🤣
Fred looks like the undercover assassin that's killed in the first act of every James Bond movie.
This one was real good
THE BULLSHIT SINGING IN THE BEGINNING I'M DEAD 😂😂😂
The Rock has a great singing voice. His harmonies are really enjoyable. I guess I knew that from Moana, but it’s great to see him do it live.
Da fact that Kermit knows more of the words 😂🤙🏽
The Rock is such a great dancer and singer too. Love this skit making us laugh and enjoy the music and the dance, and at the same time we can learn to respect and appreciate native Hawaiians who work hard and ensure us, the tourists.
This man can sing too omg i think i want to be like him
THIS MAN IS BAAAAADDDAAAAAAAS WHIT BIG b
I'm traveling to Hawaii tomorrow. I hope I see these guys xD
The Rock is probably one of the better hosts on SNL. I'm always thoroughly entertained by the skits he does. My favorite is definitely the one where he joins the evil villains organization by making a robot that molest children.
for about 4yrs i worked in Waikiki, and i have a brother thats been living in boston for years, so this is the most relatable snl skit for me on so many levels. lol
