I see him as, a kid that his parents wanted him to become a doctor, but used his brain power for jokes. And it is AMAZING. He is doing something HE wanted to do, and the world is so thankful.
Most of the time its the tiger mom's who push their kids to become someone with a high status career, but only some broke away and did something they love
Yeah man at first I'm like cool this Asian dude is branching out and became a comedian. Then I heard he did it after getting a PhD and then I rolled my eyes. I was like fuck now Asian parents have a reason to say, " If you wanna follow your dreams you gotta have a PhD first"
How about Rebel Wilson? Attorney of law become comedian. Any stereotype there? Parents fault too? Joe and Rebel are adult. They can choose what they want to do with their life. Grow up and don't blame it on parents. They did their best for their kids all their life.
Teacher: Hello students welcome to USA, in the first class I want you to tell me what you want to learn from USA. Chinese overseas student: Sir we came here to learn the advanced western brainwashing propaganda metnods. Teacher: Baloney! We have democracy and freedom, we are not brainwashed. Chinese student: Brilliant, exactly this!
Lol the Chinese student usually heads to the US thinking its an advanced and tolerant beacon for all mankind and that they are hard done by in China. The most patriotic Chinese person is one who travels their (and other western nations) to study.
Joe is one of the very best comedians in the world today. His understanding of world events and laying them out in such a way as to make us laugh - is a true talent. Awesome job Joe !!!
this guy is great, one of his jokes, two Chinese men are taking the history test and a question asked what is Roe V Wade, they huddle with each other and turn around and says "Two ways of getting to America"
Joe‘s comedy is quite better in English language than his mother language! And his talk in this video is more frankly expressed. he’s more Made-In-USA now
dirac bracket Though China isn’t half as free as countries like the US, China does have a free market, private companies, and businesses that work with other countries with the world. It’s more accurate to call China as Socialist rather than Communist, since pure communism only existed in the mind of a few.
dirac bracket LMAO, before you judge China, go to know China first and by yourself not from Fox of CNN. In China, most universities have the access to RUclips Facebook even porn hub without any “wall” block, BTW we can build our own VPN if you’re not on campus. Chinese government only block people with no education but want to mess China up to gain some benefits.
You are a Hero to me. You are doing a really good thing for everyone. Alot of misconceptions about China. Being there myself, nothing is really what they say about China or its not as bad as they say.
These days all it takes to tell a joke is to have the courage to tell the truth that people are too afraid to tell with an innocent face (Joe Wong) or an angry face (Ronny Chieng) or a cheeky face ( Gervais).
Joe is a 100% American standup comedian style. It is hard for him to be adopted and survive in China without localizing. But he will be no longer Joe Wong with these changes. A flower can’t bloom in the desert.
The stress you feel, Mr. Wong, is that your Ministry of State Security handlers push you to work to hard, and don't give you the freedom to make your own jokes. Isn't it? Isn't that why you look like such a sad clown? Shouldn't have gotten involved with them. Now they own you. HAHAHAHAHHA. Now THAT'S funny.
Few people knew about Joe Wong until he did a roast for Joe Biden?? He got that gig because of his national TV debut on David Letterman the year before. After that he became more popular because Ellen Degeneres loved him.
On behalf of my demographic of the USA...Please feel free to roast Trump. We're not so sure it WAS a democratic election. He is a national embarrassment. If you tell a good trump joke I WILL tell it to other! Remember, the symbol for trouble is two women in one home! Bless you for trying to keep peace between your wife and mother!
Loved your joke about having a lot in common with white guys and that we are all different shades of Mexicans 😂 Please make more racial jokes, they are really funny! Joe's English jokes are exponentially funnier than his Chinese jokes.
Not saying Trump can't be made fun of, but I think lots of Chinese immigrants voted for him because they know what has been going on factually in this country and they know Trump is the vanguard of the American spirit.
@@tonnyangkawan2168 truth is mean and ignorant is bliss? When a mother tells her son that he is fat, she may be misconstrued as mean spirit. But only somebody that close to you would have the guts to say what is needed to be said.
Joe’s comedy in China is not that popular. He kinda lost his magic when he tells jokes in Chinese. Maybe it’s because Chinese people don’t know American humor so he has to change his style. We really love his talk shows in the US. However, his Chinese shows like “is it true” are really boring.
GE GAO chinese humour is more dramatic... everything always has to be set up like an old school performance. It’s so boring but my parents seem to love it while I zzzz
I think it is because his stand up comedy style really is more related to international affairs and immigrants but those are not really things that can strike a string in Chinese populations.
Watched some of his shows in China before. Have to say that he really does a better job when telling jokes in English. Most of his Chinese jokes are just not as funny. (In my opinion at least)
Harnett Jack He loves telling jokes about controversial issues. That can be done in the US. He has a deep understanding of controversial topics such as race ,immigrants,gender and politics. But in China, he can’t talk about any of those.
This guy sounds perfect for these times. Political side note: Show me where you get your information and I can confidently predict 5 or 10 other things about you.
He's a genius, and I really love that, either way, he leaves a lesson on Chinese culture when he does stand-ups in the US. People in that country are living in a thicj bubble of intercultural ignorance, they barely understand people outside their border.
Even though he has stayed at US for more than 20 years, he still has China mindset. You could see his post on China Weibo on condemning Hong Kong protesters. He didn’t stand with Hong Kong people to fight for their human rights.
Seriously, Joe, to be fair, you should make jokes regarding Xi for ur show in China. I think the audience in China can relate more, then ur jokes for Trump.
This is interesting. I still remember how the Chinese public loved Trump when he was just elected. This video was aired in 2019 and he said many Chinese still defended Trump. Now, it is the opposite. Everybody on Chinese social media makes fun of Trump and criticises him. How the Chinese public see Trump actually has little difference to how democrat supporters see Trump nowadays.
American humour? When the point of the joke is so obvious that even an idiot will understand it. Which of course really is catering for the lacking intellect of the bulk of US Americans.
I did not know that there was a joke about the NRA and campus shooting that he did on the Colbert show which was cut out. I can totally see why. It’s too painful to be funny. I mean the shooting of kids on campuses, in elementary schools, there’s just no way to make that funny. I am a huge fan of Joe Wong though.
If you married American as your wife, then you mother have been designed into step law mother. All faults are come from your mother, your wife is so innocent and pity.
Yeah right.. Joe Wong's success in China is based on behaving himself. Honestly his comedy has no real political value. The moment he steps out of line in China, his ass will mysteriously disappear.
man im british chinese...sarcasm i think is a lost hope...how the frick would one put that into chinese context without slapdash to bring the laughs...
The reason for his show not being popular in China is mainly because of the sense of culture of contemporary Chinese. I don’t believe it’s a issue of background. It’s just a matter of time. After a few years when the cultural environment in China undergoes enough development, Chinese would of course understand the core information of his jokes.
Joe Wong needs his Netflix special. This man is a gem!
We should start petition for this.....
@@strangerfromsomewhere3528 i made it 69 likes. But we do need a netflix special, like ali wong
Agree. He is hilarious
Joe Wong seems a warm and clever man and his comedy is a shining light.
Daniel Verberne well put.
i feel that way too
Daniel Verberne , agree. He is a doctor and have a sense of humor
Tooo true man too true and im from Northern Ireland
I see him as, a kid that his parents wanted him to become a doctor, but used his brain power for jokes. And it is AMAZING. He is doing something HE wanted to do, and the world is so thankful.
"I feel like America is my wife and china is my mother. And now they dont get along" omg lmfao
tRUMP had something to do with it
"and started to do stand up comedy, after receiving PhD in biochesmitry."
why is this so stereotypically Asian lol
Most of the time its the tiger mom's who push their kids to become someone with a high status career, but only some broke away and did something they love
Yeah man at first I'm like cool this Asian dude is branching out and became a comedian. Then I heard he did it after getting a PhD and then I rolled my eyes. I was like fuck now Asian parents have a reason to say, " If you wanna follow your dreams you gotta have a PhD first"
Just in case comedy doesn't work out, he has a PhD for backup. lmao
How about Rebel Wilson? Attorney of law become comedian. Any stereotype there? Parents fault too? Joe and Rebel are adult. They can choose what they want to do with their life. Grow up and don't blame it on parents. They did their best for their kids all their life.
He did it just for that reason lol
He's so awesome! I admire his understated humor, and polite commentaries. ❤️🤓

Hahahaha,I can really get the laugh point, though I'm Chinese
Hahaha laugh none stop!
He's amazing!! He is the only comedian that I know that does not speak one swearing word and is still funny as hell.
BT Trade true
Most importantly, not involving drugs, racism and sex.
That resonates with me. I only admire those who deals the humour card with wit and not vulgarities. He is so above the rest!
There are others! Keep looking, such as Trevor, a South African!
He melded clever and intelligence into his comedy
Joe is one of the very best comedians in the world today. His understanding of world events and laying them out in such a way as to make us laugh - is a true talent. Awesome job Joe !!!
I'm a westerner who's heart is in the East. God bless this man for trying to help bring peace.
Didn't think I could like this guy more than I already do. I was wrong. Legend!
Yeah, in the beginning, and when he starts to run out of jokes and get political, he'll be just like other mainstream comedians and talk show hosts.
Not sure whether to congratulate or berate you for not going with "I was Wong." there 8)
you were wong

his Chinese comedy is tepid af.

East Asians are always getting lowest attention in the US, no matter what we do. Look at Andrew Yang.

Trump elected Democratically.
So,
Hitler was elected Democratically too.
Modi is elected Democratically too
so wats ur point?
modi was appointed
He’s really funny and i hope the best for him..wished to see more of his show though..
He is actually a “Chinese Korean National Minority” in China.
Really ur sure
Joe Wong surname Wong sounds like southern Chinese.
@@clarelau7484 yea he is Korean minority there are millions korean chinese in NE china. China even has russian and Jewish in that area.
What amazes me is as a comedian, on one primary TV show, the hostess said that he has very high IQ.
Actually the highest IQ when he was in college.
I think his style of comedy is new and refreshing.
there were many topics in China that can't be joked about, that's why Joe is making more people laugh in the US comedy.
This is a pioneer support this man.
Intelligent comedy!
You are mistaken about Trump. What his opponents say about him is wrong. Change news stations. From A former lifetime democrat in California.
The stress you feel, Mr. Wong, is that your Ministry of State Security handlers push you to work to hard, and don't give you the freedom to make your own jokes. Isn't it?

Joe has a better of understanding of US English syntax, than most US citizen"s.
He's the best Asian comedian.
Smart people do smart things
He seems like a smart, thoughtful man. Both countries could use a little of his perspective
Loved your joke about having a lot in common with white guys and that we are all different shades of Mexicans 😂 Please make more racial jokes, they are really funny! Joe's English jokes are exponentially funnier than his Chinese jokes.
Damn... so true. Wife and mother with nuclear weapons and he tries to make them get along. The poor fellow stuck in a horrible situation.
Believe it or not, here in Silicon Valley, there are lots of Chinese who migrated from China in 90s and voted for Trump ... ... (T_T)

He is not funny when talking in Chinese. I couldn't figure out why. I prefer his English jokes.
Harnett Jack He loves telling jokes about controversial issues. That can be done in the US. He has a deep understanding of controversial topics such as race ,immigrants,gender and politics.
But in China, he can’t talk about any of those.
His accent is much better, but not that funny because it is kindof his label
oooff that nra joke is hardcore and hits deep, its a shame they censored it. I love his style
True humor is full of knowledge and courtesy, just like him.
Comedians generally are very intelligent people. Joe is an example.
他的英文口音比以前好听多了。更流畅。不需要改进了，刚刚好
joice bai 可能是为了更好的娱乐效果所以表演时刻意带口音？
+1 他早期的英语几乎听不懂
其实刻意部分很大
Your Majesty I agree
He’s funnier when he performed here than in China
Class...
P.hd in biochemistry!! And that humble...Mad respect 🙏
Your English jokes is more funnier then in Chinese! Is a bit dried.
Well done to you, best endeavour to your future sir.
How did KFC become the biggest fast food chain in China? It all started with a Peking duck. ruclips.net/video/hGI2UppGWxc/видео.html
Stick to your comedian life. You’re good at it. But try stay away from delving into politics. You don’t represent that many Chinese actually.
这种美式幽默用中文讲出来感觉没什么味道，看他的原版英文作品确实是masterpiece,ever.

It is difficult to understand.chinese culture even for overseas chinese. Westerners may need to be in china and deal with people there.
Americans tend to be oblivious of anything outside of their own country.
Woah! A fake-news-busting stand up comedian? Yaas! You should go on Conan!
ROFL the NRA joke is the shit.

Debz Baumaus Chinese here. I agree and no defence for it. But I believe things will be better. It’s a phase.
He is a biochemist to begin with
u mean the americans that r living in a bubble
I was liking you until you turned political
Has Joe ever been on agt? He should.
His accent is way thicker when he is acting!
Are the subtitles really necessary?
I mean yes or do you understand when he spoke Chinese!?
He can make fun about trump in China, but can never make fun of Xi Jinping anywhere on Earth!
Even though he has stayed at US for more than 20 years, he still has China mindset. You could see his post on China Weibo on condemning Hong Kong protesters. He didn’t stand with Hong Kong people to fight for their human rights.

Love Joe until he got political
Wong is not unlike many other phds: Trump is not their cup of tea. And Colbert too: he has humor gene but lost it to politics.
Ever watch Greg Gutfeld? He is mostly politics but FUNNY! Politics is itself a joke if not taking it or oneself too seriously.
"Hitler was a democratic elected leader too". LOL
Joe Wong is awesome.

maybe comedians should forget about politics. he obviously knows nothing
My wife and mother don’t get along, and they both have nuclear weapons 😂😂😂
He's jokes in Chinese not funny at all
Love ur comedy 👍
"this is terrible" - deeping double meaning. And his usage of "to be fair". Brilliant.
He's hilarious and is also a good person, it seems.
I wished I heard his joke about immigrant kids and the NRA joke because that is fucking gold

why are there no stand up comedians in china ? pretty sure they can't joke on chinese policies either ...
