I love Fluffy. I'm part German and I still found his jokes about Germans funny.. My favorite joke is, "How many Germans does it take to change a lightbulb? One because we're efficiant and not that funny"
@@cliftonmcnalley8469 I'm part German which is why I find it funny. I also use being part german and dutch as a reason for being so stubborn sometimes since both are known for it. I'm also a few other things thrown in
Fluffy has a unique gift to explain different cultures without offensive jokes or make it easier for people to understand the cultures without actually going there
It's because EVERYBODY knows his intent. It isn't malicious. Or used to prop himself or Mexicans up & others down. To be honest… if white people didn't always have that intent… of making others look bad to their own benefit… and then actually profit from it… nobody would care about their criticisms. … but when you say that people are invading to gain politically… or that they take your jobs because of this ridiculous belief that skin color… and not the poverty that they're kept in… makes them better in a country where the climate made brown skin ideal…?
@@Paul-wd7uk "To be honest..if white people didn't always have that intent... of making others look bad to their own benefit and then actually profit from it nobody would care about their criticisms." I hate to break your vision of reality, buddy, but that's not just white people.
I'd argue that Trevor Noah has that as well, with more of a trend toward telling the joke from the point of view of that other culture. Fluffy tends more toward explaining his own interactions with that culture and learning how it compares to his own. Two great comedians who bring people closer together with their standup.
@@benkayvfalsifier3817 -… and I didn't say only white people. Between you & me, though… Which people run this country? Blacks or browns? Neither. So… what did you say, again? I could re-read it… but I'd rather you realize that it doesn't matter what black & brown people think. … and that's because that is far from the truth. Maybe you'll understand the truth in that?
As a Mexican who briefly lived in India, I agree we have so much in common! Btw the street food won’t make you sick. You’ll get what is called “Delhi Belly” for the first couple days (always be near a toilet), but then the body adjusts. It has more to do with the unique blend of spices specific to India than with parasites. Street food is cooked to such hot temperatures it kills all bacteria… definitely don’t drink the water though, always carry bottled water or order masala chai or beer. And the traffic is 100% true. Cars, motorcycles, mopeds, bicycles, people, cows, all using the same roads with nothing but implied lanes, and no one hits anyone. Especially the cows, they always have the right of way. India was one of my favorite countries to live in. Had a lot of fun, met some amazing people I still whatsapp with today, and was also humbled in many ways. The food is simply incredible. Indian food outside of India is not the same, it’s forever ruined for me 😂 until I can have it again in India.
Yeah. Indian food is *hot.* If you aren't used to lots of spices or those *kind* of spices, it'll mess up your digestion. Never been to India, but that's my experience with unfamiliar foods. Then there's MSG. I've heard that a lot of people will react badly to suddenly eating a lot of Chinese food because of all the MSG, but they'll eventually get used to it. I avoid MSG altogether because it gives me migraines.
I've always wanted to visit not only because of the culture and beautiful country but one of my closest friends lives there and every Indian person I've ever met have been nothing but the nicest people I've had the pleasure of talking to it just seems like a pleasant place to be and even if the crime is that bad I'm from a drug infested town in central Ohio I've seen some dark shit so I think I could handle it
That's harder to do sometimes. Some people suck at storytelling since you have to keep someone's attention from the beginning until the end, no matter the length of the story.
Gabriel might be surprised to find out that Mexicans actually first cultivated chili peppers. Indians got a lot of spices going for them, but the originators of hot are ancient natives in and around Mexico. The global trade after Columbus went on a spice run lead to a boom of countries all over the world finding new uses for chilis and then cultivating their own.
Actually thanks to them and the Spanish for transporting spices to the new world we Learnt to cook better !! Of course in Mexico where peppers already , but the ones responsible for almost allspices that we know now it thanks to Indians culture
True, they had spicy, but until the 'new world' was 'discovered' no one had potatoes, tomatoes, or chilis. That is just unbelievable. No wonder people were willing to risk their lives on the ships exploring - there was no food worth staying home for! 😎
He's exactly right about accidents. I hate when traffic starts slowing down on the opposite side of the freeway from where the accident even happened in the first place.
Same happens in Finland, people slow down even it happens on the opposite side. Also you start to see people start taking pictures or taking videos. Like people have no respect

I love that you were not offended by his jokes. To many people are easily offended these days. It was also nice that you confirmed the things that he said about india was accurate and not just jokes
Went to India during a military training event, and I must say, it was the second-best experience I had during a trip overseas. The typical personality of the average person in the cities I went to matched up perfectly with my own personality and I must say. The average person in India gets along with me far more than the average American, and I enjoy every time I visit. The only thing that sucked was the traffic lol, the traffic does get old after a while lol. Love from the US.
I've never heard of this bloke before. Being English, we have loads of great comedians and are known for our humour even if some of the jokes are very rude. However I loved his impersonations and sound effects and will definitely be looking for more of his videos.
In my hometown I worked at a grocery store and there was an Indian guy with a very thick accent that always needed help finding his groceries due to dietary restrictions. No one at the store would bother to help him because of his accent, except for me, and eventually any time he came into the store the other employees would call for me to go help him. After a couple months we built up a friendship and he even invited me to go visit a Hindu temple with him! He was such a great guy!
He is an amazing story teller. His impressions, accents, and sound effects really bring the stories to life and make you feel like you are experiencing them with him. I agree with the other commenters who recommend looking up and watching his gift basket video.
I have black hair, brown/olive skin, and green eyes. I always thought it was very odd that I got mistaken for South Indian by other Indians. But seeing the difference in you two, and the variety of Indian features, I can see why.
It's true that we don't use the horn much in the US, it's mostly used as a reaction to someone or something in your way, like a pedestrian walking out into the street or someone cutting you off, like a "Hey.jackass, get out of my way" sort of thing. But if you drive at night, you'll see the language of high beams. It's very similar in concept to Indian Horn Language.
Very true! Most common head lights languages: 1. Flashing to let someone know they forgot to turn theirs on. 2. Flashing at traffic going the opposite direction to let them know to watch their speed because a cop is watching them. 3. Flashing briefly at 18 wheeler trucks and others to let them know it's OK to come into the lane in front of you. 4. Thanking someone for letting you in. Love Fluffy! ❤️
@@dontworrydehappy7104 You forgot about the rapid flashing multiple times to indicate something blocking the road. This is especially used on two way roads.
Interesting! I had always been told that the reason the cattle were sacred there was because they were the vessels of loved ones who had passed, just as he had explained it.
I had never heard that one before (been Hindu since 1984). All I ever heard was that the cow gives milk, the bull performs work, and both were very dear to Krishna. But with transmigration of the soul... anyone can be reincarnated into anything. In your next life you could be a person, a cow, or a tree. 😎
I can tell that Fluffy really does have respect for India and your culture. That is awesome. I think people like Fluffy help bridge the cultural gap. You both were awesome!
I may be Irish, German, Scottish, Swiss, and Norwegian by blood, but I have nothing but the absolute, utmost respect for Indian people, their beliefs, and culture. I may not fully understand or agree with everything, but that's more my fault than anybody else's. As a student of history, I also marvel at the thousands of years of Indian history (as opposed to the roughly 250+ years of very codified US history).
The things that man can do with his vocal chords are amazing. I've never seen a performer who can do so many different accents, voices and sound effects, and have it all sound so good. Maybe Trevor Noah, but only with accents. It's really impressive.
fluffy is amazing when it comes to being respectful while doing a perfect or even almost perfect language accents...that is why folks who have that kind of talent should at least receive a honorary adoption by the ethnic country of said accent
Fluffy tells jokes all over the world. His style and various voices makes us all laugh at ourselves. I am enjoying listening to these reviews by different cultures who he has rolling in the aisles with his brand of humor. And he does it with a bare minimum of off color language. Love it!
The horn honking is exactly what I told my husband about when I got home from a business trip. It truly is like a traffic language. Also what I found so interesting is that people will load anything and everything onto a moped. I saw a family of 5 on a moped! 5! I saw someone taking a refrigerator home, another one a mattress home. It was crazy. Also I think anyone who drives in the city there has nerves of steel. Even driving in NYC doesn't compare.
I loved India, it was the best trip. I went with a group of women, an visited 5 cities of Rajastan India. It was so beautiful and I want to go back some day. It was funny how this one guy thought it was weird that we got excited about seeing monkeys hanging out on the buildings. I think my favorite thing we did was riding camels out into the Thar desert and sleeping there under the stars.
the gift basket, like people have said in the comments here, it was originally called the racist gift basket, but I don't think youtube likesd that so he had to change the title. the full story is that fluffy actually received a racist gift basket of his own from a fan as a joke, it was pretty funny :D
One thing about Indian traffic is that the pedestrian count is as high as the motorist count. We were often miles from the nearest town, and people were all over both sides of the highway, walking, headed somewhere.
not completely true. the coca cola company couldnt sell cola in Germany because of the backlash from their american customers so the company created fanta for germany. so it was still created by the americans, just specifically for Germany.
@@lolalo6344 no, he is basically right. It was a German chemist at the German Coca Cola Company that invented Fanta. And it was invented not because of backlash from customers, but because the war rationing made producing cola in Germany extremely difficult. The original fanta was made from fruits and fruit syrups imported from Italy.
@@frankjaeger563 huh, I stand corrected then! I was always taught that it was because the company still wanted to sell in Germany, but didnt want to seem like they supported the country. But I guess what you guys said makes more sense.
I once worked with an indian guy at work and I accidentally forgot my lunch had beef on it. I felt so bad so I was "dude...sorry I brought this, I feel like an ass" and he actualy reassured me that it was fine, that Cows are only sacred in India? so I felt so much better then XD.
@@rudolfbart LOL vegans don’t believe that cows are resurrected people. Besides give respect, take respect. The Hindu was a really cool guy so I didn’t act like a douche.
Rest assured bro, Beef is not banned all over India. in many North East Indian states, beef and pork are staple food, and it is consumed in parts of South India too.
I loved the video and you guys' reaction. I'm Brazilian and I have a very dear Indian friend who comes here now and then and Fluffy does make me remind of him so much. I am also glad I found your channel. Cheers.
It always amazes me that folks from India wonder how they are seen. I will tell you for me I've always found you to be beautiful smiling soft spoken kind hearted people. Your my friends thank you for keeping it positive thru a world full of negative. Terri USA
I was carpooling with an Indian guy for a while and on his days to drive I was so close to puking in the car 🤢 He was all over the place lol. No time to lose at all, even on the way home. So accurate lol.
It's so nice to see other people from different country's laugh at their own backgrounds and upbringing, like alot of us do here in America. I think every culture brings something great to the world.
Yellow traffic lights: same here in Brazil. I was teaching my 3 yo niece about traffic lights (bc I drive her a lot - on calm neighborhood streets, I'm responsible ), so it was like: Green is for "Go yeay" and Red is for "Stop, oh no". And then after some time she asks: how about yellow? And after considering the answer, I'm like: when you're older we talk about yellow. It's a very complex matter. A few days latter, my brother tells me my niece is doing something funny when coloring... she picks up the yellow crayon and goes like "complex matter" 😂🤫 Great video, guys!
I feel like if GTA made a game set in India, the immersion of the game would immediately break, at least for Americans. In Grand Theft Auto, traffic is handled two ways: expand your definition of the road to include the sidewalk, and any pedestrians unlucky enough to be using it, or shooting.
I visited India for the first time during the month of March. It was such a wonderful, enriching experience! I love your beautiful country! I think I would like to retire there eventually. On the cow thing, we get told over here that they are sacred because of reincarnation, that either a person becomes a cow in a next life, or that right after being a cow, they reincarnate as a human. I know it's not accurate, but a common Western misconception, at least from my experience.
My ancestry is Swiss German and I grew up in a very German catholic family and I LOOOVVVEEEEE German jokes. They r the funniest things ever. Being able to laugh at oneself is the biggest and best quality somebody can have.
The funny thing with the Germans and Fanta is that Fanta was invented in Germany. In 1940 in Germany is was not possible to get the ingrediens to make Coca Cola but that was able to get oranges from Italy.
Fluffy is truly the Greatest comedian of all time. That man is animated and his storytelling is in a league of his own. What makes him unique from most comedians is that he can joke about anything without upsetting anyone which makes him a comic genius.
NGL, I see Gabriel's up and down head movement throughout his delivery. It is subtle, at least to me because I am American and black and we have similar head movements, but now that he pointed it out, I notice it with him.
Fluffy literally had a whole standup about one of his standups and was still hilarious, he is genius in story telling. Thanks for your reaction and confirming some of the stuff he talked about
Hi guys, Namaste! 🙏. Just wanted to say that I loved your video. I'm also mexican and a Fluffy fan so I get a lot the cultural differences/similarities he points out on his specials. It was great to see you two react to it and comment so positively. Thank you! the best of luck! 👍
Gabriel is very good with accents and sound effects. Russel Peters is another one who is really good with using accents for humor. As for the cows, I'm not surprised there's misunderstanding there. Most people don't know that the Hindu religion originally ate beef from male cows, and I think there is a lot of ignorance of the religion in general, particularly in western countries. I have however seen stories that suggest that Hindu, at least at some point in time, believed that souls were born as cows before being born as humans, and that when reincarnating, they could move up or down a sort of hierarchy of life depending on how they acted in the previous one. So it's possible someone gave Gabriel a twisted form of one of those stories.
I have NEVER heard of Fluffy but I think I may need to go down the rabbit hole because I haven't laughed like that in a long while...and I needed a good laugh right now.
He's hilarious. He makes fun of himself and makes fun of everybody, while at the same time complementing them. Your commentary made it more joyful...Thank you for sharing!
There's an easy way out of that German situation without Holo-costing yourself your dignity. "What do Germans drink? You guys INVENTED drinking! Irish guys get drunk all the time, but they're called beer steins not beer seans, right?"
Fanta is a german invention. During WWII they couldn't get Coke from the states due to you know a difficult situation so the came up with Fanta as an alternativ
I was watching a vlog from a guy traveling in India a while back and, when he went outside, I couldn't hear him for all the honking. It really is impressive. Audi even admitted to giving vehicles they sell in India louder car horns.
This was so good. I love this man 'Fluffy' so much. His observations are so true. I love it when we are all compared like that. That is what makes the world so wonderful, we all have many different idiosyncracies, but are so much the same.
Laughter is universal. We all laugh the same, and comedy is the magic that brings out the children in us. We are just children growing old. I loved this.
For me, a German, I tried a few times the head shaking after seeing a documentary about it. And it is intuitive. I could fast get used to it. Thank you, friends on the other side of the world for this content. I will watch some more of your videos.
Main thing I recognized in my trip to India is that Indian food in the US is actually recognizable as Indian food. China, on the other hand, has started selling what Americans call Chinese food as American food.
one thing i love about Gabriel Iglesias, he is a good story teller. every story he deliver is very detail, and when comes to set up, premises and punchline. he often do act out, impression, face expression and make various voices
Haven't watched much of Fluffy but I love that he always draws it back home. Yes, he'll point out something this culture or that culture does, but he comes right back to his own with the equivilent of "And if you think THAT"s crazy, in MEXICO ..." That's respect!
@@chenjohnson2787 You don't understand... I have such a sensitivity to flavor that even some black pepper can overwhelm me, and that's just the ingestion misery...
I was born and lived in mexico for 11 years, when Gabriel started talking about the water, food and crime i was like "I havent been there in quite some time, but that does sound a lot like... oh he was thinking the same thing i was"
First time watching your channel. Loved it!! I have not had the chance to travel to India but I have been blessed to experience some of your culture through people I have met.
Absolutely if you ever get a chance to go to India, you MUST GO! I lived in and traveled around India for more than 5 years. The best time of my life. Scenery you will never forget. You have the mountains to the north, the desert to the east, the spices in the center of the Country and the beaches in the south. Everywhere you go you get something different culturally, food-wise and everything in between.
Watching this surprises me because I keep expecting Fluffy's bit to stop because I'm so used to watching just bits and pieces of his routines instead of continuity shown here. Good video with these folks, their reactions and comments.

"Tweeting in an Indian accent".. Just beautiful.
I can tell that Fluffy really does have respect for India and your culture. That is awesome. I think people like Fluffy help bridge the cultural gap. You both were awesome!
I may be Irish, German, Scottish, Swiss, and Norwegian by blood, but I have nothing but the absolute, utmost respect for Indian people, their beliefs, and culture. I may not fully understand or agree with everything, but that's more my fault than anybody else's. As a student of history, I also marvel at the thousands of years of Indian history (as opposed to the roughly 250+ years of very codified US history).
Fluffy is Great! Try The Gift Basket is arguably the must funny joke ever. Success!!
Hahaha the racist gift basket...get the name right...
The Beetle is better.
"It's the Fat and the Furious"
Hysterical! But it's got to be the one with Fluffy in his *red* Hawaiian shirt! That way, you get the whole story!
You have to understand American racist stereotypes to understand "The Racist Gift Basket" joke's bits.
The things that man can do with his vocal chords are amazing. I've never seen a performer who can do so many different accents, voices and sound effects, and have it all sound so good. Maybe Trevor Noah, but only with accents. It's really impressive.
fluffy is amazing when it comes to being respectful while doing a perfect or even almost perfect language accents...that is why folks who have that kind of talent should at least receive a honorary adoption by the ethnic country of said accent
It's awesome how accurate Fluffy can do an accent!
That is interesting about the traffic and honking the horn. I love learning new things about different countries!
Fluffy tells jokes all over the world. His style and various voices makes us all laugh at ourselves. I am enjoying listening to these reviews by different cultures who he has rolling in the aisles with his brand of humor. And he does it with a bare minimum of off color language. Love it!
Just love fluffy! He’s hilarious! I’ve always wished to go see India. Just looks so beautiful.
So glad you were able to discover Fluffy. Gabriel is super funny and he is always positive.
He is definitely right about the Italian hand movements. We don’t even notice it half the time lol.
The horn honking is exactly what I told my husband about when I got home from a business trip. It truly is like a traffic language. Also what I found so interesting is that people will load anything and everything onto a moped. I saw a family of 5 on a moped! 5! I saw someone taking a refrigerator home, another one a mattress home. It was crazy. Also I think anyone who drives in the city there has nerves of steel. Even driving in NYC doesn't compare.
I loved India, it was the best trip. I went with a group of women, an visited 5 cities of Rajastan India. It was so beautiful and I want to go back some day. It was funny how this one guy thought it was weird that we got excited about seeing monkeys hanging out on the buildings. I think my favorite thing we did was riding camels out into the Thar desert and sleeping there under the stars.
the gift basket, like people have said in the comments here, it was originally called the racist gift basket, but I don't think youtube likesd that so he had to change the title. the full story is that fluffy actually received a racist gift basket of his own from a fan as a joke, it was pretty funny :D
Fluffy is universally funny and such a great storyteller... loved your reaction!
yeh I want to see the live video with the germans
In other sets he talks about his trips to Australia and Saudi Arabia. Check those out sometime! He’s a great story teller.
One thing about Indian traffic is that the pedestrian count is as high as the motorist count. We were often miles from the nearest town, and people were all over both sides of the highway, walking, headed somewhere.
He's so talented. Great impressions and expressions .
I'm glad that you enjoyed his story. He is very good at representing people of different cultures and backgrounds.
Fun fact: Germany invented Fanta. When the Coca cola company left Germany before ww2 the Germans had to come up with a new softdrink, it became Fanta.
not completely true.
the coca cola company couldnt sell cola in Germany because of the backlash from their american customers so the company created fanta for germany. so it was still created by the americans, just specifically for Germany.
@@lolalo6344 no, he is basically right. It was a German chemist at the German Coca Cola Company that invented Fanta. And it was invented not because of backlash from customers, but because the war rationing made producing cola in Germany extremely difficult. The original fanta was made from fruits and fruit syrups imported from Italy.
@@frankjaeger563 huh, I stand corrected then! I was always taught that it was because the company still wanted to sell in Germany, but didnt want to seem like they supported the country. But I guess what you guys said makes more sense.
Fanta was also owned by a Nazi sympathizer & supporter. They made MILLIONS.
@@frankjaeger563 no, his right. History Channel said orange was invented in Germany because the backlash during war.
I once worked with an indian guy at work and I accidentally forgot my lunch had beef on it. I felt so bad so I was "dude...sorry I brought this, I feel like an ass" and he actualy reassured me that it was fine, that Cows are only sacred in India? so I felt so much better then XD.
do the same if there was a vargan person there?glad forgot to use meat and cheese and had only air on my sandwich
@@rudolfbart LOL vegans don’t believe that cows are resurrected people. Besides give respect, take respect. The Hindu was a really cool guy so I didn’t act like a douche.
Well it's not like the whole country INDIA doesn't consume beef, It's just banned in few states others are fine. It is delicacy in many places.
Rest assured bro, Beef is not banned all over India. in many North East Indian states, beef and pork are staple food, and it is consumed in parts of South India too.
Never walk on eggshells for anyone.
I loved the video and you guys' reaction. I'm Brazilian and I have a very dear Indian friend who comes here now and then and Fluffy does make me remind of him so much. I am also glad I found your channel. Cheers.
That's the best way to accept each other, by rejoicing in our uniqueness. Fluffy is just too funny with his cultural impressions lol
Fluffy is the best. Educational, and hilarious, how comedy is SUPPOSED to be.
It always amazes me that folks from India wonder how they are seen. I will tell you for me I've always found you to be beautiful smiling soft spoken kind hearted people. Your my friends thank you for keeping it positive thru a world full of negative. Terri USA
I was carpooling with an Indian guy for a while and on his days to drive I was so close to puking in the car 🤢 He was all over the place lol. No time to lose at all, even on the way home. So accurate lol.
It's so nice to see other people from different country's laugh at their own backgrounds and upbringing, like alot of us do here in America. I think every culture brings something great to the world.
not in my eyes was totaly idiotic with the germans show me the live show of that happen
If we were all the same the world would be a much more boring place
Yellow traffic lights: same here in Brazil. I was teaching my 3 yo niece about traffic lights (bc I drive her a lot - on calm neighborhood streets, I'm responsible ), so it was like: Green is for "Go yeay" and Red is for "Stop, oh no". And then after some time she asks: how about yellow? And after considering the answer, I'm like: when you're older we talk about yellow. It's a very complex matter. A few days latter, my brother tells me my niece is doing something funny when coloring... she picks up the yellow crayon and goes like "complex matter" 😂🤫
Great video, guys!
It’s funny how the German guy said we do not like Fanta! It was first made in Germany!
Neat thing to know
i mean... considering when it was invented and who it was made by... im not surprised.
Fluffy is just a funny guy. Anything he says cannot be taken serious. He jokes about everything and every race.
I feel like if GTA made a game set in India, the immersion of the game would immediately break, at least for Americans. In Grand Theft Auto, traffic is handled two ways: expand your definition of the road to include the sidewalk, and any pedestrians unlucky enough to be using it, or shooting.
Fluffy is by far one of my favorite comedians. I absolutely love him
I visited India for the first time during the month of March. It was such a wonderful, enriching experience! I love your beautiful country! I think I would like to retire there eventually.
On the cow thing, we get told over here that they are sacred because of reincarnation, that either a person becomes a cow in a next life, or that right after being a cow, they reincarnate as a human. I know it's not accurate, but a common Western misconception, at least from my experience.
Love your guys reaction, 🇲🇽 we love India
My ancestry is Swiss German and I grew up in a very German catholic family and I LOOOVVVEEEEE German jokes. They r the funniest things ever. Being able to laugh at oneself is the biggest and best quality somebody can have.
The funny thing with the Germans and Fanta is that Fanta was invented in Germany. In 1940 in Germany is was not possible to get the ingrediens to make Coca Cola but that was able to get oranges from Italy.
Like some others have said, Fluffy is a great story teller and I'm sure you'll like some of his other stuff even more.
OH MY GOD GABRIEL NO. An angry Fluffy is as terrifiying as he is hilarious.
Fluffy is truly the Greatest comedian of all time. That man is animated and his storytelling is in a league of his own. What makes him unique from most comedians is that he can joke about anything without upsetting anyone which makes him a comic genius.
NGL, I see Gabriel's up and down head movement throughout his delivery. It is subtle, at least to me because I am American and black and we have similar head movements, but now that he pointed it out, I notice it with him.
I love he compared the food! I'm not Indian nor Mexican but I LOVE both foods and always thought they would combine really well together!
Fluffy is funny I like his work a big hug from Mexico to India one of the most nicest people
I looove fluffy! He cracks me up! You guys have to watch his Hawaiʻi special! It’s so funny! As a Hawaiian he really hit the nail on the head!
Fluffy literally had a whole standup about one of his standups and was still hilarious, he is genius in story telling. Thanks for your reaction and confirming some of the stuff he talked about
Warms my heart to see walls of divide dissolve with smiles and laughter.
Hi guys, Namaste! 🙏. Just wanted to say that I loved your video. I'm also mexican and a Fluffy fan so I get a lot the cultural differences/similarities he points out on his specials. It was great to see you two react to it and comment so positively. Thank you! the best of luck! 👍
"Nice!"
Gabriel: "It doesn't end there!"
"Oh my god."
🤣🤣🤣
Oh no... Martin, no...
Gabriel is very good with accents and sound effects. Russel Peters is another one who is really good with using accents for humor.
As for the cows, I'm not surprised there's misunderstanding there. Most people don't know that the Hindu religion originally ate beef from male cows, and I think there is a lot of ignorance of the religion in general, particularly in western countries. I have however seen stories that suggest that Hindu, at least at some point in time, believed that souls were born as cows before being born as humans, and that when reincarnating, they could move up or down a sort of hierarchy of life depending on how they acted in the previous one. So it's possible someone gave Gabriel a twisted form of one of those stories.
Gabriel's accent game is so on-point.
I have NEVER heard of Fluffy but I think I may need to go down the rabbit hole because I haven't laughed like that in a long while...and I needed a good laugh right now.
he has a RUclips channel if you'd like to check it out and some stuff on netflix...
ruclips.net/user/fluffyguyvideos
He's hilarious. He makes fun of himself and makes fun of everybody, while at the same time complementing them. Your commentary made it more joyful...Thank you for sharing!
Gabriel's a brilliant comedian.
He always makes me laugh so hard. He is one of my favorite comedians.
There's an easy way out of that German situation without Holo-costing yourself your dignity.
"What do Germans drink? You guys INVENTED drinking! Irish guys get drunk all the time, but they're called beer steins not beer seans, right?"
If he was ready for that encounter he would have, but instead he went from panicking to pissed off.
Fanta is a german invention. During WWII they couldn't get Coke from the states due to you know a difficult situation so the came up with Fanta as an alternativ
Yes the original orange, which apparently tasted very different from modern orange Fanta
I was watching a vlog from a guy traveling in India a while back and, when he went outside, I couldn't hear him for all the honking. It really is impressive. Audi even admitted to giving vehicles they sell in India louder car horns.
"Why does that sound familiar?" My first thought was Flint, Michigan...
I think this routine was recorded before that..
@@johan.ohgren It wasn't, this was the later 2010's. Also, I wasn't saying he meant that, just that it made me think of it.
This was so good. I love this man 'Fluffy' so much. His observations are so true. I love it when we are all compared like that. That is what makes the world so wonderful, we all have many different idiosyncracies, but are so much the same.
Laughter is universal. We all laugh the same, and comedy is the magic that brings out the children in us. We are just children growing old. I loved this.
Thank you for your commentary. You are refreshingly kind and gracious people!
Hello from Canada, I cannot express how much Indians are appreciated here in Canada. Wonderful people, god bless!
I didn't realize he was so funny! This was hysterical!
For me, a German, I tried a few times the head shaking after seeing a documentary about it. And it is intuitive. I could fast get used to it. Thank you, friends on the other side of the world for this content. I will watch some more of your videos.
One of the most wholesome reactions I've ever seen.
That cute girl's reaction was good too ☺️. Love from Maldives 🇲🇻
Fantastic RV! I really loved hearing both of your perspectives. Great personalities too! Hope to see more and thank you
He doesn't joke. He tells jokes and life experiences and we relate, which is just funny as hell because it's so relatable!
Main thing I recognized in my trip to India is that Indian food in the US is actually recognizable as Indian food.
China, on the other hand, has started selling what Americans call Chinese food as American food.
Bwahaha Bwahaha Bwahaha
one thing i love about Gabriel Iglesias, he is a good story teller. every story he deliver is very detail, and when comes to set up, premises and punchline. he often do act out, impression, face expression and make various voices
People tend to forget that people speak English in India; you don't become occupied by the British for so many years without picking up a word or two.
Loved your video! I was cracking up when he spoke on the traffic situation, and I watched y'all nodding along as he described it
This was a treat to watch! I had great fun enjoying the Fluffy comedy stories, and seeing the reaction of you both!
I have not seen the live german part is in my eyes totaly nonsense till to the airplane
Thanks for giving your perspective as always!
I love watching you laugh and comment.
The hindus are one of the greatest people on earth who can laugh even when lives treat them unfairly. Stay blessed hindus people
Haven't watched much of Fluffy but I love that he always draws it back home. Yes, he'll point out something this culture or that culture does, but he comes right back to his own with the equivilent of "And if you think THAT"s crazy, in MEXICO ..." That's respect!
I love the smell of Indian and Mexican food, but I am a wimp when it comes to flavor/spice.😂
Get a local to make it. You'll de-wimp fairly quickly.
@@chenjohnson2787 You don't understand... I have such a sensitivity to flavor that even some black pepper can overwhelm me, and that's just the ingestion misery...
I'm not, i have a standing Invitation for any culture to keep the spice, to make it BURN!!! Both ways if possible.
@@disableddragonborn I like spicy foods but I don't want it to be so spicy that it becomes overwhelming.
I was born and lived in mexico for 11 years, when Gabriel started talking about the water, food and crime i was like "I havent been there in quite some time, but that does sound a lot like... oh he was thinking the same thing i was"
First time watching your channel. Loved it!! I have not had the chance to travel to India but I have been blessed to experience some of your culture through people I have met.
Absolutely if you ever get a chance to go to India, you MUST GO! I lived in and traveled around India for more than 5 years. The best time of my life. Scenery you will never forget. You have the mountains to the north, the desert to the east, the spices in the center of the Country and the beaches in the south. Everywhere you go you get something different culturally, food-wise and everything in between.
Indian be like OMG ! We don’t have enough foods to feed him.
Watching this surprises me because I keep expecting Fluffy's bit to stop because I'm so used to watching just bits and pieces of his routines instead of continuity shown here. Good video with these folks, their reactions and comments.
