It's true. Her no nonsense attitude and demanding personality, offset by Louis' laidbackness to soften her up just enough to make her likeable is what makes this show. She's definitely the star of the show, but you can still tell it's a group effort. I like Louis a lot too. He brings most of the lighthearted fun to the show. You need that to switch things up a little.
Xylarxcode a real husband wouldnt put up with her bullshit; louis is a wimp, which is why he cant tell jessica to calm down; honestly, i wouldnt be disappointed if this show gets cancelled; however, i would like a sequel show which takes a different turn
@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast I think Louis always keeping her ego in check with his kindness is what makes Jessica grow so much during the series. They're just enough different where it counts to complement each other really well. =) Louis doesen't need to be an antagonistic jerk to get things done. If that was the case, he wouldn't have been so successful at his business ventures.
Rachel lost her touch. Wasn't she supposed to be an economics professor with a specialty in game theory...tsk tsk. Guess Eleanor was right all along. She will never be enough
ZurnTheFangurl no kidding; if she ever saw this episode and realised a lady who looked like her was playing mahjong and lost her cool, she would be embarassed
This reminds me a lot of when my cousin told me that the grandmas and my elderly uncles got together to play mahjong during a family gathering. I happily went to find them so I could join in, but then I saw them playing and just decided that they were playing on a whole different level. It was scary seeing all those wads of cash being passed over the table. Also it was the first time I ever heard my grandmother swear.
I'm so glad someone finally thinks the same way I do. Whoever created a matching game app and called it Mahjongg should be publicly humiliated and shunned.
Yes, but also: The heck ruleset are they using? My familiarity of the game is mainly Japanese derived with a smattering of Hong Kong, and this doesn't seem to really match either version at all.
Elaine actually looks older than Jessica in this show. Weird thing is Horace is like only a few years older than Eddie, but Jessica looks way younger than Elaine. Then again, Constance Wu was born in 1982 and Ming was born in 1963.
I love this show! It reminds me of my hyper competitive high school, the high performance, and pressure that I felt on a regular basis that ultimately made me a better scholar and stronger person.
@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast thats quote rude and over exaggerating. Jessica is just over protective and hard working. Its like coming home from school after exam week and taking a break by playing games. But u lose everygame which makes u frustrated. Its how jessica feels, shes not spoiled god no.
MeepGoesRawr well she shouldnt throw a tantrum like that. That is unprofessional. Also, she is spoiled as she always tries to make others dance to her tune
@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast who said everyone had to be professional? We have adults litterally acting and dressing as a baby inside a baby crib... Its a comedy show not some professional making movie
@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast How? That's what happens to immigrants. I am sure its equally embarrassing for actual immigrants to here the fake accents by Jessica and Louis in the earlier seasons
@@tokioobsessed1983 and she knew English before she took ESL classes, too. She'd use an occasional word every now & then, and she could understand the family's English.
This is exactly how every game with my parents goes. I get destroyed no matter how hard I try and the only way I can win is the cheap 'chicken win' (assorted sets)
Don't discard your winds early , also count the number of tiles in each suit and the one that has the most you keep then discard the rest and try to catch a half suit flush or at minimum mixed same suit .
Constance Wu upon reading the mahjong scene in Fresh Off The Boat: What another mahjong scene? Those vapid youtube commenters will have a field day with this.
FYI, her final hand looks like a complete pure suit all triple hand, which is very valuable. It somehow has one tile too much though, 15 instead of 14. That 5 Bamboo needs to go. Edit: Nevermind original comment. They are playing Taiwanese Mahjong which uses 17 tiles, not 14. We can't even see the whole final hand.
Jonny ming na wen would be the better actress to play jessica. She is an actual mother with two kids who are around the same age as jessica’s kids were twenty years ago.
@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast Just because she's a mom and simular in that way doesn't mean she is better suited for the character. That's why they call it acting, I knew of a couple marred irl, but on the show they were on together no one liked them as a couple...the audience hated them together, they had no rapore or chemistry on screen.
Charlie Panayiotou i refuse to believe constance wu plays the mom of three adolescent kids considering her character is supposed to be in the same generation as ming’s character, but in real life she is just five years older than jimmy, the guy playing horace.
@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast Umm ok lol I got this recommendation from RUclips and I'm casually reading comments and I see your name on almost everyone of them. You just don't like poor Constance for some reason lol. I responded to one of your comments b4 I knew any of this lol. No need to respond back.
my grandfather used to be a boss at mahjong lol. he'd go play mahjong with the other old peeps and come home and be like "here's 50 bucks, go get some pastries" xD
Wait in the beginning how did the grandma win? I may not know to play like a master but where is the pair of eyes like two pairs of any kind of titles?

I love how the show was originally about Eddie but everyone loves Jessica so much she’s become the star 😄
But i like it more when it focuses on the kids

everyone loves psychopathic ladies
Never play mahjong with the elderly , it's like stepping into a minefield
Or chess. Or anything that requires a lot of patience and thinking really
Or Dominoes
Rachel lost her touch. Wasn't she supposed to be an economics professor with a specialty in game theory...tsk tsk. Guess Eleanor was right all along. She will never be enough
GOT ME MESSED UPPPPP
IUnderstoodThatReference.jpg
Weird thing is Rachel and Constance both look older than Jessica by more than a decade
Wrong video mate lol
ALLEN SINGS r/woosh
So different from crazy rich Asians epic majoong scene. Lol
Was about to say the same thing... She turned into the raid boss because of that scene.
I know right .. they lost the deep eye contact ......
Rachel Chu is not impressed

There the same person

Just imagine Rachel Chu vs Jessica
Jessica would lose cause when rachel beats her, she would throw a tantrum and knock the whole board down
Jessica would lose but she'd probably make Rachel Cry because shes just way to savage
I would never have sat on a game. The elders of any family were ruthless. They will take everything off you.
F that game on you may think your losing but really your learning and when the time is right……Show no mercy 😈
This is how Mahjongg should be played and not that stupid matching game.
I'm so glad someone finally thinks the same way I do. Whoever created a matching game app and called it Mahjongg should be publicly humiliated and shunned.
That’s why I was so confused on what they were doing.....

@@ekuz986 Shunned? chronically online.
@@ekuz986 they should be lynched
*"You'll never be good enough, Jessica"*
That's how Rachel Chu learned from her mother
Agent May! I’m just casually going through random clips on RUclips and suddenly see my favorite agent of shield.
"My mum taught me how to play mahjong", Rachel Chu - 2018
Ming Na Wen doesn't age. She is so beautiful 😍
Especially when she was the voice of Mulan in the Disney cartoon movie
@@ryanvang4080 Yes. I wonder whether younger people know about this fact?
Elaine actually looks older than Jessica in this show. Weird thing is Horace is like only a few years older than Eddie, but Jessica looks way younger than Elaine. Then again, Constance Wu was born in 1982 and Ming was born in 1963.
The happiness I felt when I saw may from shield was huge
I see comments complaining how she acts here compared to CRA. It shows her talent as different characters in different genres.
I love this show! It reminds me of my hyper competitive high school, the high performance, and pressure that I felt on a regular basis that ultimately made me a better scholar and stronger person.
Agent May undercover being Orlando Mom
Ahem, Hot Orlando Mom. Ming-Na has definitely aged well.
Ohhhhh that's where I saw her from
I love it when she has an out burst, I sometimes get like that when I don’t get anything right.
Rachel Chu and Agent May who
Been scratching my head thinking where I've seen her
That's a dynamic duo.
Rachel and Mulan
"Just remember, you win because of me'
Jessica bad at 1 thing 😂😂
Raghav Agarwal not just one thing. We see her fail at several things. Only thing she can manage is to care for her kids.
Honestly, this is how the scene in crazy rich Asians should have gone... 😆
j qui nah, rachel is a mature and civil adult; Jessica is a spoiled, immature brat

I thought this was the scene from Crazy Rich Asians
And that's why Rachel Chu wanted to specialize in game theory
Miss this show. It was the best.😆
*Plot twist* : This is a behind the scene video of Mahjong scene in Crazy rich asians
i love this game and i treat all my friends and family as enemies while im on the table
Anybody else caught of guard that she can speak English now?
Well no, because they made a point to talk about how she was taking English classes.
I liked it better when she was speaking mandarin; it is so embarassing watching her speak broken english to louis and jessica
@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast How? That's what happens to immigrants. I am sure its equally embarrassing for actual immigrants to here the fake accents by Jessica and Louis in the earlier seasons

@@loganbigmo I love the way she somehow related to Eddie and his rap music. She even said, “Biggie, you’re in trouble, girl!” in Mandarín.
this is an alternate to crazy rich asians ending
I never seen anyone throws mahjong tiles on the floor like this except in Kung Fu movies.
This is exactly how every game with my parents goes. I get destroyed no matter how hard I try and the only way I can win is the cheap 'chicken win' (assorted sets)

Constance Wu upon reading the mahjong scene in Fresh Off The Boat:
What another mahjong scene? Those vapid youtube commenters will have a field day with this.
Song is called Main Source - Snake Eyes
Ming Na Wen never ages.
Seeing Agent May makes me want to watch the show
Let's appreciate this amazing mom in law.. Who is so much better than her own mom!

Oh I want to learn how to play this! Looks much more fun than the matching game.
yeah my impression of Constance Wu had changed since her little outburst
Lol my mother and her friends every Friday night until Saturday. This was our lives.
I believe this episode made two references to CRA movie. Dumplings and Mahjong I believe.
You’re not alone Jessica
They have the actress from Joy Luck Club in this scene lol. Awesome!
It's agent may!!!!!!!!!!
She wasn't playing to win, she was playing not to lose, so much for her mother teaching her how to play
If Rachel Chu channels her inner Jessica Huang Crazy Rich Asian would be a chaotic masterpiece
If she cracked her knuckles any more her fingers gonna fall off.
🌺 Ming-Na Wen and 🌺 Constance Wu, my two lovely AsAm actresses ever... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
It's even better when you've watched Crazy Rich Asians xD xD xD
the grandma needs her own spinoff
All I saw MingNa Wen's beautiful face this whole scene

Pam its just constance isnt the right person for this particular role. She would make a good honey though
@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast A good honey? What's that mean?
Pam it means she would be suitable for the role of honey
1:15 is where it gets good.
That sounded like a Sun Tzu quote granny made.
Mahjongg , a Magic game
Melinda!
Oh this grandma trash talking over mahjong just like my grandma XD
I refuse to believe Ming-Na Wen is 55

@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast hmm ok, I think she fits the role perfectly
This is me and my family we love playing mahjong even though we are not chinese we still love playing it
Who wrote Grandma's Mandarin lines? They sound Google translated. I know she knows Mandarin but...
Her mandarin sounds authentic though. She grew up in china though.
F for jesica
Just get Emery to stand behind Any of them, they will end up losing.
Constance is SO FINE
How would that victory even happen, Honey!? Jessica just trashed the whole game that was happening!
Grandma just be cracking her knuckles
what time does this air
Lol. As soon as I saw the thumbnail, I knew the comments section will be full of Crazy Rich Asians reference. 😂🤣
This reminds me of the crazy rich Asians scene where she wins over her future mother in law
The sequel to Joy Luck Club
yeah...our family accepted we would never beat Grandma at Mahjongg or Scrabble. We just competed to see who would get second.
Rachael Chu plays mahjong
Everyone knows that when you win in Mahjong traditionally you don't say "Ying le!" you say "hu le!"
I was just going to bring this up.
MINGNA WEN!!
Jess better take it easy that set goes for 70 bucks each
...... that got way too close to home, wow.
*exhale*
my grandfather used to be a boss at mahjong lol. he'd go play mahjong with the other old peeps and come home and be like "here's 50 bucks, go get some pastries" xD
Agent May!
CHUN LI !!!
Ming Na! 📸🌺🤩.
Is this in imitation of Constance's role in CRA?
Mulan!
Is the girl in white Agent May from Shield????
Yes
Rachel Chu vs Jessica Chu Huang LoL
Yikes!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Disqualification for swiping all the tiles off the MJ table.
I love her more as Evan, emery and Eddie's mom than Nick's girlfriend....
IS THAT AGENT MAI I SEE
bring your inner rachel wu HAHAHA
You DON'T play against old people in Mahjong. Speaking from experience
Okay but I also hate those people who like picking on people that lose games.
From miss applebom to the blonde
🤣😂🤣😂😂 yeah grandma
What song is that
0:41 How does Jessica win with 16 tiles? Why none of the Chinese actors say anything?
Ao Chen lol, just Louis, Jessica, and Grandma Huang. The three kids were born in DC.
They are trolling crazy rich Asian scene where she had the complete set
Reminds me of the Crazy Rich Asians scene
Song please?
I'd like to know this myself!
Agent May?
She is more skilled in crazy rich Asian
Wait in the beginning how did the grandma win? I may not know to play like a master but where is the pair of eyes like two pairs of any kind of titles?
Yup there's also too many tiles in her hand anyway, she's got six triples + a single (this is too many even for Taiwanese rules).
Quantris oh that is it is different
