"All movies should have a high-five montage"
nice
Dr. Riq high-five*
The King correct
Point noted
auchvits
When he said all movies should have a high-five montage, he wasn't horsing around.
That’s too much man
@@k.idesigns7092 Bojack Horseman AND Horsing Around reference. Nice.
Working in a call center, I can definitely relate to this as a black man
I'm a black woman
..but I definitely relate.
@@mixedlove1234 speaking with polite grammar and attitude has nothing to do with skin color
Kollision DaGod if you actually watched the movie you’d understand what the ‘white voice’ actually is. It’s not about the content of what’s being said, or the politeness, but rather the tone that white people have, especially in a professional environment. Since the prejudice is that a white voice is non-threatening we’re allowed to project our personality and zeal in a way that black people usually supress for fear of a negative response and the consequences of that response from the people in power.
Kollision DaGod
It sucks that people judge based on ethnicity... our race is human.... anyways, we should all hate random callers equally lol
'Get Out', 'Sorry To Bother You', and 'They Cloned Tyrone' are three Black Films that convey very important information to their audiences. I'm hoping that they make more thought-provoking films like these in the near future. I'm tired of the usual struggle films.
It’s a new take of blaxploitation cinema in the 2020s.
Facts
@@eyeseer1 Just because the protagonists are black it doesn't mean that it's blaxploitation.
american fiction
I'd probably replace 'Get Out' with 'Us' (I just like it more) but yeah, all these movies are bangers. I really wish black women get to make movies like these too. There are few (The Watermelon Woman comes to mind) but I feel like Hollywood tends to regulate black women into the same old struggle movies (see Chinonye Chukwu talking about how Barbara Broccoli basically forced her into doing Till)
I can get behind hi-five montages
Max Fritze high-five*
As an Asian that works in a Call Center (Inbound) that speaks 5 variations of English Accents (All American), I can relate
I'd know that white voice anywhere. That's David Cross.
Thats who! I couldn't remember the name, but the voice is unmistakable.
@@michellemabelle8298 The other voice is Patton Oswalt.
David cross isn't white
@@waynepayne9875 ummmm? Really?
Richard Servello He’s Jewish. So is Armie Hammer
as a black guy, I consciously make an effort to speak way more properly around certain white people and even throw in some rock n roll/country facts and some conservative ideology. it’s the only way they take me seriously unfortunately.
Lorenzo Martin Don't do that man. Not unless you actually like what you speak of or if you like speaking in more correct terms but you don't need to. Being taken seriously is a mixture of respect and likability and you got to start respecting and liking yourself. If you don't, everything you're presenting is a lie. It's good to expand your knowledge and horizons but only if you're confortable with not getting confortable. Try to share some of the things you like and try to mix in the way you speak. It's not really because of serioussness. It's the environment that was always like that. All we can do is adapt to it, learn from it and bring some of our sensabilities.
Lorenzo Martin dude thats absolutely ridiculous. I understand thats what a lot of the elite tell you, but the reality is if you talk like a gangster you arent gonna be taken seriously, but if you talk like a normal person, whatever race you are, you will be fine. I just dont understand where all these nonsensical racially divisive ideas come from.
David James-Cameron I don’t have a choice. I grew up around a less than desirable environment. I don’t wear polos and budweiser slippers so when they see an urban dressing black guy I have to make an effort to break the stereotype. I’ve done it in college, my interview for grad school, jobs, everywhere. I understand it’s inconceivable because it’s not your reality but these are the challenges I’m burdened with everyday, the same way I can probably use this vocabulary with you but have to dumb it down around people who grew up with me. I literally act like I don’t listen to rap music around certain white ppl to receive a more favorable perception. It may be faking it but i’m omw to a top grad school and I’ve been to almost every continent on the planet. It is what it is.
David James-Cameron & it’s not racially divisive. I just know the game & I play it to my advantage. A lot of white ppl aren’t even racist but only find it hard to relate to certain ppl. I bridge the gap by adapting. I pride myself in knowing a little bit about everything. for instance, I met a fellow from Tel Aviv and gave him my 2 cents about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Do I really care about what I’m saying? Probably not. But the guy was so impressed he offered me a job should I ever venture to the middle east. Never would’ve gotten that opportunity had I used ebonics.
What is talking white? Do you mean annunciating your words? Correct grammar? How is this wrong or bad? I’ve never understood why African Americans feel they have a need to act a certain way.
My sisters also use the "white voice" concept, but we are brown skinned Germans of indian descent living in Germany.
Sebastian Koil wtf are you ppl ?😂
Im a white skinned person from southern Germany, Frankonia to be exact. I could use my local dialect when talking to someone in Berlin or Hamburg for example. I dont do it though since there is a standard "high german" (hochdeutsch) which is spoken and taught all over germany in addition to local accents. Your so called "white voice" is the proper and standard way of speaking german.
J But my sisters don't have an accent when they speak normally. They speak "high german" on a day to day business. It's just when they're on the phone that they change their voice to this high pitched, artificial sounding german.
i suppose we have different definitions of a "white voice"
J I think she's saying that there's a difference between hochdeutsch and white voice..?
as someone who works in a call center I noticed most prominently in this scene how the people who are working at the other cubicles are changing between almost every shot, heh
'Every movie should have a high five montage....'
Someone else gets it FINALLY!
0:22 we needed this so that he could..... *thinks about what kind of advantage this could make*
I love this movie!
It's hard to believe that Lakeith is in these type of movies & recently he was in a Disney movie.
I didn't hear the voice
"Padel game" would have been even better
Voiced by David cross
Saw this today. Liked it.
Aaaaaaand Wylie Herman.
What a long song name, where they inspired by don Caballero.
I thought that was dave chappel.
They could have at least hired an actor who can lip synch.
Don't really get to hear anyone use their white voice when someone is talking over all the clips.

holla holla holla
Get the he'll Out of here this is crazy!
Oh yeah, all right,that's tight. 😂😂
Holy smokes dude my cut is insane
Wow, what a racist scene
"white" and "black" voices dont exist. A "white voice" literally means you speak properly, and a "black voice" means you speak like an uneducated person. These are both stupid untrue generalizations
Did you watch the movie? It's not about the sound!
I suppose you believe you are not racist ahahha
Yeah that's not racist at all.
It disappointed me they was being dubbed by someone instead of trying to imitate a white man
I think the voice is supposed to sound fake and uncanny.
@@JohnSmith-uk6wh Can't shake the disappointment bro, they should've been given a chance to actually do make it sound as exaggerated as this
Ima use my black voice
I cannot thumbs down this video.
Go to Africa to hear an "African voice"
Africa is a continent with many countries, languages and dialects. They don’t sound the same. That’s like saying “go to Europe for a European voice” try again

White voice means polite English?
Home Wall nope, it means high pitched accent
Home Wall they literally use a white actor for his white voice, it’s a joke, settle down Cleatus
Watch the movie
I can't understand how movie stars went from being handsome and charismatic to basically the kind of guys I would forget I went to highschool with.
Dear Left,
You can chill with the subtle anti-white connotations now
Federal Bureau Of investigation
You used to burn black people??
That's disgraceful, I hope prison has reformed you and you are no longer a racist.
Given the hiring policy at the New York Times, I think it's possible that the over racism will be turned up to 11.
idk the plot is kinda similar to BLACKkKLANSMAN.
I saw Sorry to Bother You yesterday and trust me it's nothing like BlacKkKlandsman. The trailer is completely misleading in the best way possible.
Lol dude that is so true, I really didn't expect any of that.
Blackkklansman is based on a true story though this has surreal elements
The only similarity is that their both movies. Have you seen Sorry to Bother You? It is a brilliant film.
Nothing like having enough time and money in a society to be able to freely waste it on pure silly.
In London, US President Donald Trump met Queen Elizabeth II with military honors, as a sign of great respect.
For example, Obama, met with a black entrance.
I don't care about the racial politics of it, but it was just really poorly done. There's no way David Cross' voice is coming out of any black person, just too white and Jewish sounding. And they didn't even bother to try to get it in sync with his lip movements. Looks like the work of an amateur.
TheTruthiest that’s literally the joke
That's the point of the movie... and it is a really good movie also...
This movie was terrible. I don't get the buzz around it. I agree with the socio-economic commentary throughout and the overall way it satirizes the systematic oppression and wage inequality...... but it was a bad movie. Period.
That's some terrible acting though. "I've seen better act'n in "tough act'n Tinactin"~(Chris Rock) It doesn't even look like the sound is coming from the guy, and nobody has ever said "I've got to get to my squash game". It looks like one of those IFC movies
that's the whole point, watch the full movie and you will understand why.
O shut tf up
We've had racial/social horror in "Get Out" now we get some racial/social absurdism with "Sorry to Bother You". High five to Boots. #flipthesystem
I'm trying to wrap my brain around the idea of Schindler's List or A Christmas Carol having a high-five montage.
hot take: human centipede with a high-five montage
A Christmas Carol could easily have it at the end
As a white guy that worked in a call center, even my voice wasn't white enough. I couldn't imagine being a black dude trying to sound like an imaginary white person that was excited to talk to you
As a white person, I apologize for all the white people who don't understand why he's using a "White" voice
You do not speak for me
You pathetic idiotic Racist
jag10 He's using a "White voice" to attract and sell to people. It's harder to be taken seriously in society when you talk like an African-American
You don’t speak for a race. There is no such thing as a white voice. That’s a beta male voice. Let’s stop trying to “win”.
Life isn’t a contest. A human race is not like a foot race. If it were, black people would have won.
chaosXpert that's the point of the the white voice and why alot of peklle like telemarketers online representatives or directors of services use white voices, to put you at ease in your artificial environment.
You're what's wrong with white people, wtf do you have to apologise for
Genius! This mans a god of the voice acting industry
all movies should feature OYAHYTT
My son talks like a white man. People have told me that I talk like a white woman. I have lived around white people all my life and still do.
Weird land what is going on
1:18 "All movies should have a high-five montage"
i read this as it was played
phenomenal movie
I think this movie was a tad overrated.
There sure are a lot of racist comments once you scroll to the bottom
He expects to be fired and he gets promoted. He expects the video to ruin WorryFree and they only skyrocket with popularity.
Moral of the story: Expect the Unexpected
That is not the moral story of this movie at all
How many pills do you takeV
Moral of the story: never do random coke at a party
This movie was a masterpiece
No it wasn't 🤦
@@christianalexander579 you probably white then
white voice? sweet! I Suppose no one will object if i was to do black voice so i can get a college degree. 🙌👏👋 #High5
Seraphim190 white people aren't very good at black voice lol good luck tho
lol all you have to do is slow your voice down 1.5 speed and pristo! you Got Black!
That's definitely not how the admission process works. No point in denying that people judge race by voice, it's an observable cultural occurrence, regardless of whether it makes you feel uncomfortable to address it.
You sound intelligent, consider this;
Black people appear 200,000 years ago
White people then appear 8,000 years ago
Civilization then starts 8,000 years ago
What do the facts tell you ?
APE MAN I don’t get it, can you explain?
Make a sequel about white people imitating blacks. I’m sure nobody on social media will take issue with it.
White people have no reason to.
White people dont need it dumbfuck. Black folks need to do that in able to generate income, otherwise they are excluded from livingwage money conversations.
@@aleeoid3410 White people want to be oppressed so bad
