I saw this guy live too. I drove 2 hours by myself, no one wanted to go with me. I wanted to see him so bad he is great!
I envy you. I want to see him too but I recently had a stroke and am handicapped. Btw I am only 45, had the stroke at 43 due to a brain tumor.
@@edithdlp8045 I hope that very soon, you'll be able to see him live!!
@@ria8977 thank you 🙏
Saw him by myself last night too. He’s great 👍🏾
I bet that was a great decision you ever made 🙂
My dad has lived in Iowa now for over 30 years and you'd think he would be able to speak with a clear Midwest accent by now but nope he still sounds like he's fresh off the boat. 🇵🇭
My mom's the exact same way
Hahaha funny…sounds like my parents.
Sounds like me...
What boat? He was a refugee?
@@mobe3006 the term FRESH OFF THE BOAT means straight from the island.
I grew up hearing the Filipino accent. My great grandmother is Filipina. She gree up in the Philippines during WWII. I myself am only a small amount Filipino. But I've always love when we wod have big family get together, and getting to enjoy the delicious food.
I’m only a quarter, and sometimes I feel like it’s not enough.
Get to know your roots my Filipino brotha. There's more to our culture than just our good food. It's just the tip of the iceberg. If you happen to do want to learn more then enjoy the journey my friend
@@furyborn.1409 Embrace it regardless. There are 3 Half Filipina girls right now in the US entertainment industry making waves . . . H.E.R. SAWEETIE, & OLIVIA RODRIGO.
@@furyborn.1409 If you go to Philippines looking like a foreigner you will be treated like a celebrity lmao
@@furyborn.1409 it's OK, for Filipinos, if you had any amount of Filipino blood as long as you want to represent. Your Filipino. Plus 1/4 is actually a huge amount. For us 1/4 Filipino is still Filipino. Just like Blacks if you had a tiny amount of Black your Black. It's the same for Filipinos, we don't discriminate. We just don't like those 1/2 or 1/4 that dont acknowledge their Filipino heritage.
When he started cursing in Filipino I cracked 😂
For anyone looking for it: 3:53 you're welcome 😁
I was so surprised lol, ang lutong e!
Shown also in that timestamp is Brandon Vera,hHaha Laughing out loud
Me too
ulul mo crack ko ulo mo e
“He won. He f-king won.” *goosebumps* 🇵🇭
Facts! Although i wish that same feeling got replicated with the Mayweather fight 😩
I'm Mexican,and love my Filipino people. They are so down to earth!!
Some of my closest friends back when I was working in the US were Mexicans. You guys are great too! We have the same Spanish surnames, we are practically the Mexicans of Asia lmao
Filipinas and Mexico one blood people and true brother hispanic country,greatings from Filipinas.🇵🇭🇲🇽🇪🇦
Filipinas y Mexico una sangre gente y los hermanos
hispanidad pais, saludos desde Filipinas 🇵🇭🇲🇽🇪🇦💯😊
I don't know what he said in the end but it made me crack up !
I mean they were supposed to join mexico in 1898... Its just that america happened in both countries lol.
Mexican and Filipino culture has a lot of resemblance,
I remember when the interviewers asked Manny to say Hi to his fans and he goes to speak in tagalog joking that "these two couldn't understand me so we can sell them." HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
Not Filipino myself but I’m married to a Filipina and we have a son. Seeing this makes me crack up and smile because my son can see some representation for both sides of his lineage. He can look up and say “I can make it too”. That makes me happy.
I remember being overseas, working the personnel screening area, where we'd inspect and vet other-country nationals to do contract work on-base. I took a short smoke break, and I heard this older woman speaking Tegalog at the bench nearby. I offered her a cigarette and her and I spoke for a few minutes. She knew some English, so I asked her where in the Philippines she's from. I told her my mother was from San Andres. She gave me this strange and sort of shocked expression. Her bus came then, and she had to go, but the last thing I remember was her telling me something like how she knew I've made my mother proud. It took me a few minutes to realize what that actually meant, and it hit hard when I realized it. My mother worked her ass off, living in poor conditions as a kid, but met my dad, came to America, and raised us, giving us everything she couldn't have, even when my parents didn't have much money. I still think about that lady all the time. I hope her and her family are doing well.
You made every Pinoy proud for having that pride to acknowledge your roots. So many of our people are for some reason embarrassed of it..I guess because of the poverty of our country. I can speak English well but when I get a chance to meet another Filipino here in Canada, i always make sure I speak to them in our local dialect to proclaim that am brave enough to acknowledge that I am part of our tribe.
Wait San Andres Manila? I’m currently residing there lol
@@justjud333 San Andres before used to be the most crowded squatter colony next only to Tondo in Manila
Yes Represent! We are one of the few filipino food trucks in Utah. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 always representing.
My cousin Andrew Ganigan fought major fights in the 70s and 80s. Hawaiian Filipino legend💛
He was powerful puncher and good boxer. I saw some of his fights on TV here in the Philippines. If I remember it right he knockdown Alexis Arguello in World Boxing Championship bout but got knock out later in late round.
Wow! Congrats!
I understand how he feels! My country of Cyprus barely has any famous people to represent it..at all! I'm hoping one day to break the cycle 🤣
yo you guys have the goddess of beauty on your side
@@princerayn3054 eh..those are myths and legends and stuff. They are cool but I'm talking about now. Also most of these legends are in Greece. Some are connected to Cyprus but not so much.
@@APAMVs you can't be sure, mate. The poems of Homer are just as credible as the Bible, technically speaking.
@@princerayn3054 true. But I mean in the social media of today. We are barely recognised.
I love Cypriot people. My godfather was Cypriot. George Michael's father is Cypriot so by association there is someone famous!
I love Filipinos! Chill AF, just cool people. I never met any until I moved to SoCal in '87. You AAAAIGHT!
I have NEVER met a rude filipino person in all my 45 years of life in Los Angeles California. I have was hospitalized for a brain tumor removal surgery and a stroke in January 2019 and had several Filipino nurses all of them very kind and afterwards rented a room in a Filipino household and the owner was very kind with me. Treated me as family even though I was using a walker (still do).
@@edithdlp8045 Lucky you. A lot of Filipinos are rude, but they don't show it to other races in our country. Idk if the filipinos in other countries are rude, but they're rude in the Philippines
@@jacknack6819 I think everyone can be rude it's human nature but Filipinos will mostly talk shit behind your back but everyone does that too. I was just hospitalized a couple days ago and had many Filipino nurses and doctors and they were great, very caring, love them all.
@@jacknack6819 i dont know where you live in the philippines but where i live almost everyone is kind and the only time i encountered rude people are mid aged people in jeepneys lolz. And sometimes filipinos talk in a manner that could come off as rude to others but they are not actually being rude.
@@thelast9112 hmm idk. The filipinos I talk to in games or in yt cant take critizisim about their country and they attack you if you say something bad about their country. Pinoys are pretty arrogant. I mean they're rude as in if somebody critizises something they like, they just attack you and stuff
Manny's english has gotten so much better through the years albeit the accent.
My great grandfather was from Cebu. We are Visayan (sp?) I am 68% Hawaiian but always acknowledged my Filipino roots. I am proud to be a part of a rich heritage, we work hard and love family. Long live us Filipinos!!
I’m white and married to a Filipina for almost 18 years now. Your “performance accent” sounds almost exactly like some of my wife’s uncles! By the way, you should talk in your act about “titas and titos” and how every Filipino relative, no matter how distant who is noticeably older than you, is your aunt or uncle!
Im Indian and I have over a hundred “aunts and uncles” lol
Oh my God! That’s something we have in Brazil! Everybody is our ant or “Tia” and uncle “tio”!
@@Um.canal.que.eu.sigo. same as Filipino but it derives from tiya and tiyo
Sir, will you able to speak in this accent? 😁🇵🇭
@@Um.canal.que.eu.sigo.
That's where exactly Titas/Titos came from Tia/Tio. It's a sign of respect. It doesn't really mean your aunt/uncle. In my old time we use Tia/Tio(Tiya/Tiyo) words becomes hybrid as times goesbye. Jokoy haven't heard his great grandparents speaking Spanish. I did they have a hardtime transitioning to English. That's how probably the thick accent formed. Besides we have to learn our own dialect in every islands. When you go to the next island they also speak different languages. Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilonggo, Waray, Chavacano etc. The Spanish words got tangled up with English in Filipino dialects.
I'm so happy for that there is so much filipino representation now in every platform.
and why is the country still fucked up?
@@FinishStrong9 because everyone wants to leave
@@FinishStrong9 Every country is fucked up...US is the worst...so many Devil worshipers!!!
@@FinishStrong9 within a month another Marcos undoubtedly will become president.. and Philippines will be great again.
@@pingyu5141 cringe
Second time watching him do stand up this dude is hilarious give him a big movie role please
I second that 🙌🏼🙌🏼
He will. And steven spielberg will be the director.
He’s filming right now
@Cassiopeia N what's he filming ?
Jay Budz his netflix movie. steven spielberg is the director.
Both my parents immigrated from the Philippines and I was born in Michigan and my parents never taught me Tagalog or Bisaya so I am one of the whitest Filipino Americans you’ll ever meet
I always felt out of touch with my Filipino side because of the lack of language but I always feel so special whenever I see Filipino people in any context. Makes me connect with something I could never really connect with.
I remember feeling like the Philippines was some special Asian country because whenever I was asked what ethnicity I was as a kid, It was only ever Chinese or Japanese lmao
Just by this very short clip, you can already tell how great of a story teller Jo Koy is... I almost cried, Im not gonna lie..
Thanks Jo Koy! You made me realize how proud I should be of the Filipino accent! Proud Pinoy!
What's interesting with Manny Pacquiao is that we're so proud of him that not only do we expect him to win every time, and not only do crime rates go down in the Philippines every time he fights, if we even see the slightest clue of the enemy cheating and he (Pacquiao) doesn't win, we take to social media and protest. XD
Filipinos-represent! 🇵🇭
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The pool fans had already heard the Philippine accent from Efren Reyes
And what he can roll with it better then most.
Agree.. But Pacman has a different and perhaps bigger following than Reyes..
pool is niche boxing is mainstream
@@kawaiipotatoes7888 you will be surprised to learn that in Philliines Efren is far more praised than Pacman
@@marvinmendoza3763 the argument is that we had heard it long before pacman was on the seen and trust me pool,billoards or whatever you want to call it has sold Philippines abroad more than pacman
This guy is a legit a true comedian hahahha. Proud of u man
3:57 Brandon Vera enjoying the representation and the humour.
Yes, Brandon Vera is proud of his Filipino roots...
True! Filipino accent is real, legit and unique. Even if you don't see the person, just by hearing them speaking you can distinctively tell that he or she is Filipino.
aside from his skills, this is one of the reasons why manny became known to the world. he tried every chance he got to speak english in front of the camera. he made himself accessible to everyone.
Right 👍❤️💙💚
I always salute/admire Filipino or Filipino by blood or bloodlines whatever you call it who would excel and never forget their origin, There’s a saying Filipino” Ang di marunong lumingon sa pinangalingan di mkakarating sa paroroonan” which means-“the one who does not know how to lookback at the source /origin will not reach the destination”

Best comedjian in the world right now! Seen him 2x live, and got tickets for a November show!!! Woot woot!!!
I love Joe I'm not Filipino but he's taught me so much ,
We are so proud of you Jokoy!
Watching this after Manny's fight. Still so proud of him. Filipino pride✨
You can just tell that Jo is a genuinely good and kind man
Its the first time for me to hear JoKoy yelled in tagalog. HAHAHA! Idol mabuhay ka kapatid.
Good bit about representation. But I'm still waiting for the day he realizes that Manny's actual (heavy Bisaya) accent is not Jo Koy's "Filipino" (mostly Tagalog) accent. We've got over a hundred languages in these islands y'all 😂
true, its like West-Coast American and Southerners' Accent
I'm Visayan and that accent is like...bogan Filipino
Hawaiian/Samoan/Ilocano and Proud!!!!
his mum is bisaya though
@@pisg6491 the accent he does for Manny is still the accent of a Tagalog person when speaking English. To me, a native Visayan, it sounds different from Manny's actual accent.
😊 Accent is really important to our identity, be proud of it! A student asked which country I am from..the ‘Philippines!’
I remember the interview with Manny went something like "I punch him, I punch him, he Stand up, I punch him again" 😂😂
Brief and concise and allows no guessing at what he meant 🤣
OMG!!! This is so hilarious,emitating manny paquio accent makes me lough so hard that i ddnt do for a long time now, Joseph you are so much joy to watch. Thank you 😍❤
3:54 One of the most Pinoy sentences you'll ever hear. 😂😂😂
I love how you love your people. You care about others. Sweet!!❤😊
That was so fuckn cute. When he gave her a fist bump he said, "Here you go."
Thats funny about our accents. Im the 90kid from Laguna, Phil that studied HS in Australia and I somehow adapted the OZ accent but when I got back I lost the accent and im now speaking in a Neutral accent. Kinda like a mix of American, Autralian, Filipino accents which fits perfectly into my job.
Brandon Vera, Jordan Clarkson, Bruno Mars Pinoys love em
Jo koy ka talaga 😹❤
JoKoy! Your my guy! I laugh so hard! My stomach hurts! I grew up in the 60’s in Daly City, California. You know how hard it was trying to find another Filipino!❤️👊🏽😎
Oh my god i cant stop laughing.proud to be a Filipino wathing here in dubai.salute jo koy.im watching all your videos.and i can truly say that you are the best comedian i have ever seen
I felt the passion in your heart. Thank you for representing!
Jokoy is on another level of his skills! 👏🏼
"Oh my God, he won" 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Got me cracking as usual. You're the best Jokoy!
I thought it was going be like...
Jokoy: there was no way he could have won, you can bet your house on that and i was watching, and then he won?!... oh my God he won?..... I have to move out of my house now... 🤣😅😂
I LOVE YOU JO KOY PRIDE AND JOY OF FILIPINO. WATCHING FROM CANADA.
I love my filipino hard word accent myself. And I am proud of that.
Listen to this 100 times still laughing
Mabuhay ang mga Pilipino sa buong Mundo
Just saw the interview for the first time, he legit sounded just like that 😂😂😂
There were Filipinos in Queens NY in 1986 when I graduated high school
Jo is so funny.
Out here in the Los Angeles area, there have always been Filipinos since I could remember. BTW, I'm Mexican. I went to parochial school from 1974 (1st grade) to 1982 (8th grade) with two Filipinos who I am still friends with to this day. One is a nurse 😄 and the other is an I.T. professional.
he is under rated.even Hollywood could laugh him
So true. Born in pinas 79 and was bless to go SoCal in 83. And going to school i was the only asian person. Lol
well, this is new. always happy to find anything new from jo koy. haha
Rewatching this in honor of Manny's retirement announcement! Respect to both!
In the Philippines they shut everything down for pacman fight
Lmao even crime rates lower whenever Pacquiao has a fight
Not until he ran for office and started losing his fights
Someone always has a negative thing to say
lmao even the war in the south stopped for a couple hours so both armies could watch the fight
@@honeyboohoo criminals watch too so no crime ,no traffic,no hassle,street is empty!!yes!!true,,everybody glue on tv..some having barbeque ,drinking party!!
This man has a good heart ❤.
Jokoy, you truly have a Filipino heart. I wont forget when you said "Coz that's what Filipinos do, when one gets thru the door... We let all of them get thru the fvckg door..." That line was SOOOO REALSH*T.
“He’s speaking English! *starts cursing* ”
The best phrase to say to a reporter
What makes me like Jokoy is he's not afraid to brag his roots! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Jokoy your the best comedian.. I laughed so hard.. Hahaha
DANG!!! First time I heard you dropping the famous P.I. bomb... and it was hilarious..
You know how hard for Chinese to find Chinese in North America in 1989😂😂😂
as hard as it was to find myself?? 😅🤣
@@hilariaguzman6638 😂
@@SgtStarSlayer hehehe hi 👋
@@hilariaguzman6638 hi back😉
there's a ton of Chinese in the US, you just have to look. did you forgot who built the transcontinental railroads??
Funniest Filipino ever. Loves His mother and His Motherland so much! Proud of you Sir Jokoy👍
Jo Koy, you’re the man!
JO Koy & Manny Pacquiao are bringing the Philippine Flag around the world 🇵🇭❤️💯
i love this ♥️♥️
I cracked at the curse 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣! Wooooohhhh!!!
I love this guy
His Filipino accent sounds like a mix of thai and cantonese lmao
Ok but when he starts swearing it naturally sounds Filipino!
The interview is the hardest round of any fight for Manny.
Brandon V. Must've enjoyed the show, wish i can watch live too🥺
JOKOY ,you're so Hilarious 😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣
The"putang-ina (motherf*cker) " made me laugh so hard 😂🤣
Sending love kuya Jokoy ❤️
Hahaha 🤣... ang galing talaga magpatawa ni Jokoy!! 👍
There is a running joke with my friends where manny pacquiao is sooo good that the fight is just a warm up and the real main event is the interview 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
Grabe! Tatas pala nya magtagalog. Diretso! Amazing Jokoy!
Lumaki sya dito sa Pinas bago sila lumipat sa US
@@jastinep.3659 thanks for the info
