My buddy who is Mexican BTW. Sent me your video so long ago. HE CRACKS UP LAUGHING EVERYTIME WE SING THIS SONG. We were golfing the other day. And he started singing the song. He doesn't think it's racist. I don't think it is racist either. But here is a question for u. Would u or could u? Do the ninja song in front of an entire Asian audience? I think u would and could do it. Therefore if u can do something that is questionable on any situation. For example in front of an Asian audience. Then it is not racist in my mind...... Or how about this....... Could u or would you? Do it in front of an entire NINJA AUDIENCE?????? And are ninjas offended by this song??????? I do feel bad for the one Asian lady in the video however. She looks uncomfortable. Thanks for making people laugh and smile.
Hi Kurt! Great points you make! Haha I love picturing your friend singing it while you guys were golfing the other day. LOL To answer your questions, I actually DO sing it in front of and even WITH a bunch of Asians, some that I know and some that I only meet through friends that come to my event. They LOVE the song, and sing along and even dance with me to the song. I should upload footage of that. It's so cute and fun. Clearly they are not offended. I would gladly perform my song in front of an entire Asian audience, and yes, even an audience of real Ninjas. I think they would love it and think it's hilarious. As far as the Asian woman in the audience that night, she was new to the U.S. and barely spoke English at the time. She was shy and nervous in general. She was like a fish out of water. She wasn't offended. Maybe a tad uncomfortable in general being in a crowd and culture that she didn't know. I made sure to connect with her that night and give her some love. We've become good friends and she's been to many of my GoGirl seminars and events. She loves my funny RUclips videos. I love her. Her name is Fiona. She's even in one of my music videos on RUclips called "Star Stuff".
Thank you for your questions and comments. And you're welcome.. I'll continue on my mission of making people laugh and smile. Cheers!
@@JenniferMurphyGoGirl RIGHT ON....... Thanks for always responding. U seem very fun....... AND FAR FROM A RACIST. TAKE CARE
@@JenniferMurphyGoGirl it’s racist and people are laughing at you not with you. A comedian is laughing with them. The public laughs at racist fools like you. You make me embarrassed to be white
How is your friend being Mexican at all related to this song lmao
@@oedipussy good question
The redhead dude does asian accents all the time, but when someone else does, he gets mad, what a hypocrisy.
“I fight with credit card” sounds like comedy to me
How dare you project your white previledge? 😂
I thought so too, but when she said "practice nunchucks while feeding ducks" it perplexed me into thinking she's dead serious
@@EnxhioKotoni Honestly jf someone could feed ducks while practicing nunchucks they probably are a ninja
The most offensive thing in this bit is that you kept referring to yourself as a comedian
🙌🏾
she’s a comedian in that she exposes clowns who can’t take a joke. congratulations bozo 🤡
i agree cant find her being funny at all.
It's a goofy song
I think the song is hilarious because she is white and blond. Don’t know her other stuff, but this one is genius
Im not going to lie, everything about this is hilarious to me. Santino makes asian jokes to Bobby all the time.
Hi I'm bobby mom
I think the song is dumb af but yes Santino making fun of Bob is fuckin hilarious.
@@jakew1362 The only people who have been offended by this are terminally online white people.
@@jackslade5106 😂😂😂
@@jakew1362exactly he's joking that old white lady singing was being ignorant and racist some Whites can't understand because they are also racist
I'm full Japanese. And Japanese have comedy about foreign people all the time lmao😂 idk how people are hurt from this
It's an American thing. We all just try so damn hard to be offended all the time.
@@prankgirl9112it’s not an American thing it’s a white liberal thing
Comedians don’t get to decide what’s funny or offensive; the audience does.
Pretty sure santino was being facetious here and trolling everyone 😂...he dont care if she does an asian accent and it went over everyones head 😂
Santino often says wildly racist stuff on that podcast and says it's comedy. I don't see how this is different
I personally find the song hilarious. But in a “laughing at her and the ridiculousness of it existing” more than “laughing with her and appreciating it unironically.”
I am Asian, this is art, the poor Asian lady there, she might felt bad then but her whole presence there, her facial expression make this whole act a comedy gold. That’s the point.
Yeah the Asian babe in the background kinda did make it even more appealing and relevant. Part of the comedy in fact.
❤
The point is advertising murphy beds with a catchy song
Racism is funny to racist ignorant ppl, and white ppl that's why yall lead in pedophilia and Beastiality hahahaha
yeah i feel bad for her. she would be like "why the fug is this psychotic anglo doing this song around me?" ahhhg. but the song itself is very cute. really unfortunate situation.
The clip this channel is showing is cut in a way to make it seem like they’re attacking her and being hypocrites. Highly recommend to see the full interview to understand the whole context.
Their entire podcast interview of me really does show true colors... and it's VERY hypocritical.
@@JenniferMurphyGoGirlyour so tone deaf
I laughed my head off when i first saw the clip.. your amazing thank you !!
As an Asian. It's not racist but it shows how we train as a ninja.
You really don't get it, they are laughing at you not with you. The racism is the joke.
@@JamalPhoenixwe aren’t laughing at him we are laughing at her acting stupid. Quit being so sensitive no one cares
@@JamalPhoenixhe doesn’t care because some people know how to take a joke on the chin
@@chefxhyrule242 ya racism was so funny it's like people who make rape jokes and then get offended when you don't find it funny.
@@JamalPhoenix it is up to us, whites, to tell asians what they should feel offended about. Coz clearly they cannot do it themselves, that's why we have to step in!
I'm right with you on that one.
I'm Asian and I laughed every time I listen to that song!
An European/American blonde singing a song about Japanese ninja with Chinese music and some strange accent, and like she don't know the difference, is JUST FUNNY!
I know a lot of friends from here that love this song.
Is like people here are about Europeans and Americans! Most of us think all looks the same and talk the same. They can't see the difference between French and German names...
Is a human thing. And is VERY FUNNY!
It helps to fight against prejudice and arrogance.
I love this song, too!
You don't speak for all Asians. I find it horrifying that any Asian person on here defending her is male. Disgusting
Did they pick you yet
They took your bit, laughed about it to make content, then shamed you for the content. That’s lame as hell.
She went to china and performed this song and they loved it!
Bring this same energy to making a song about Black stereotypes. I’d like to see you try.
It would be the best
Well shes already got the blue print just replace ninja with n‐... 😂
It would be funny as hell! Sorry black people, you're gonna get made fun of too! Everybody is!
Rappers already do a pretty good job of that.
The difference is, white people and Asian people can take jokes!
As an Asian, this is honestly one of the most hilarious things I have seen in a while. This is just people getting angry for said specific race.
If some Japanese would to sing about wanting to be an American cowboy in the most stereotypical American accent, would anyone bat an eye
Probably not, I wouldnt.
It would be hilarious
No real cowboy's would love it and bring the guy into their culture, it's only insane lefty idiots who feel like virtue signaling and getting offended for other people over the dumbest sh*t. I truly despise people like that.....
Wokesters would have no standards if it wasn't for double standards.
Yes
It would be genuinely racist if she sat there and made jokes about stereotypes and actually did harm and she didn’t
Santino literally pulls his eyelids back to imitate Asians every day 💀
Ya but he’s actually funny
@@bobbyfischer9927her song is hilarious just because you’re butt hurt doesn’t change anything.
There was a facetious comment on the original video along the lines of “A genius like this comes along only once or twice in a generation” and I laughed at the seemingly obvious sarcasm, as this girl (whether racist or just ignorant) was certainly no genius. But now that I watch this video, it’s dawning on me that this actually is brilliant performance art. Mind blown.
I genuinely think that the song was crafted so perfectly that it manages to avoid even accidentally being racist. The whole song is an ironic parody of someone who is ignorant of Asian culture trying to emulate their perception of it. This should be clear when she talks about fighting with her credit card, using nunchucks while feeding ducks, and learning ninja kicks from Netflix. It goes well out of it's way in the text of the song to make it clear that in no way is she mocking Asian people, but she is mocking those who WOULD try to emulate/mock Asian culture without even understanding it. I think the song is brilliant and I think those two gentlemen from the podcast completely missed the subtext and got lost as soon as the accent came out. They did not listen to the song, only the voice. They simply found a reason to be offended immediately and clung to that, as most woke people do, when in reality they should be siding with her and realizing that the song is in fact condemning and mocking the very kinds of behavior they think they are scolding her for.
2:58 “it is not racist, you are just doing an asian voice »
Sure
But is doing a very offensive accent, assuming all asians talk like that, are ninjas and use nunchucks is?
She's trying to gaslight people. Her initial intent was to humiliate that asian lady, and now she's trying to act innocent
@@Happy-295what do you mean? Did they have beef or something
This is too funny and everybody talking bout it in that way makes it even funnier. U did it!
Are the chords available somewhere.?
andrew santino is joking about it with her, the guy reviewing the bad friends clip dont get his sarcasm i guess lol
Idk.. when there is no line it's hard to tell when he's joking... Santino is a bit sensitive. Santino isn't funny unless he's being slightly racist... those are facts. He bases his entire friendship with bobby on harrassment about asian culture
Red bar is a dork
He needs to work on his sarcasm then.... Because he is coming off very serious and pressing the matter.
It’s funny because everyone is laughing at her, she is a real life Michael Scott
I'm Asian and this song is so catchy and hilarious; its my new jam and I gotta say we do like to use our nunchucks while feeding our ducks 🤣🤣
The song is great. I only first heard it a week ago and I've been listening every day since. It has a very memorable melody as most video game music does, and it makes me laugh!👏👏👏👏Thanks Jennifer!
xoxoxo
Good stuff! Never bow down!
As a cock-asian this was the funniest thing thing I seen in a while and the Asian lady in the shot didn't make her back down one bit and I loved it!
What is a cock Asian?
It’s been stuck in my head since I heard it about a year ago lol! Love it
The joke potrays her as a (stereotypical) white blonde woman who mistakes becoming a ninja (which comes from Japan) by learning Chinese "moves" to get back on the clerk at the shop..
Its a skit, a joke, a self jeering comedy song. How do people not get that.
There is nothing more to it.
World really has gone crazy..
I’m Asian, and I think it’s hilarious. When I was in the military we made fun out of each other whether you’re black, white, Hispanic and middle eastern. Also nobody gets butthurt.
@Jake W Your so white.
@@jakew1362 I guess you are white male...we don't need white people to defend us. A bunch of hypocrites... don't try to be "nice". Disgusting 🤢
@@jakew1362 I genuinely don't get how people don't get this. All the examples are people close with a level of mutual respect/understanding, being used to justify an ignorant white woman making a completely unrelated racist song to... advertise mattresses? The only reason this gets a pass at all is because it's pretty funny and ninja/asian accent isn't really deemed to be "that racist" by the white populace. Imagine if this was her putting on her thug voice singing I want to be something else, I don't think people would be so quick to compare it to the old boy's barracks chatter lol
@@Epicloa
You people are weak and are going to get culled when nature gets sick of this façade of "civilization".
I don't need you being offended on "behalf" of me. You're the same kind of person that wants to disarm me. Stay in your lane. Play your games. Stay out of politics.
She's fine. She made some jokes and I think it's pretty funny. Yes, I do eat with chopsticks. They're more precise.
Is blackface racist? Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's?
Yea. Most people think those examples are.
@@jjjlove2260 ...which brings me to the example of this video-- a blonde American white woman sing that she wants to be a ninja while using an Asian accent- at the same time sharing this stupidity and racism to an audience full of white people. ...oh sorry there was one Asian person in the audience. 🙄🙄🙄
@@mitchduncan2942 Why the eye roll at me though? I agree with your paragraph. I didn't think the song or their defense of the situation was good either. It just made me cringe.
Is Django in racist? How about SouthPark?
I don't find any jokes about my race offensive, because they are jokes.... You need to stop all this complaining, why don't you tackle real racism?
Jokes are not intended to harm you, grow up 'Mitch Duncan' and reign in that white saviour complex.
They made tons of ad revenue by reacting to it and laughing at it and then they condemn you for making it? what a hypocrites.
Never apologize, it's funny, it's comedy
It may not be racist but it's pretty insensitive. Why not ask the Asian lady standing in the front row?
She likes it :) not kidding
Why not let the Asian woman speak for herself? You don't know that lady, you know nothing about any of these women.
This is a joke, no one here is racist. Move along comedy police.
Wow almost 100 likes and no dislikes, she must be completely right! And I greatly admire the diverse panel of all white men who are calling her not racist, and how she definitely didn’t crop out meaningful aspects of that Bobby lee interview. Great presentation!
NO LITERALLY
Wah wah wah
Imagine typing this
Don't be a whiny cunt Mark
You know they removed the dislike number feature, you are not able to tell how many dislikes are in the video.
im so excited for the i wanna be ninja movie on god
Fr fr no cap smh
You know I've been following this story for a while and find it really fascinating. You wanna know what I think? I think you got the self awareness of Michael Scott or Pierce Hawthorne when it comes to racial humour. This is coming from someone who genuinely likes your song and thinks that its catchy as hell, and now an extra layer of comedy is being created by how seemingly oblivious you are.
You're using the topic of race as a vehicle for your comedy because it's convenient, simply put its much easier to get a laugh when using a silly accent because silly accents are funny. I think the criticism coming your way derives from the fact that when comedians successfully broach the dicey topic of race, there's usually another added layer of commentary or satire to justify it. For example in Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen (a white guy I may add), plays up a ridiculous middle eastern stereotype in order to make fun of how absurd the stereotype is, while adding some great commentary of how America perceives other cultures. The writers of South Park do the same thing, constantly creating offence and controversy while coming out unscathed because they usually justify the offence in some way. These are two examples of comedians who use the topic of race to often point out how idiotic racism is, and I'm sure there are many others.
Your video on the other hand, is just stupid. Entertaining, brilliantly catchy, but stupid. It's just one big mockery of an asian accent, with the side effect of (in my opinion) celebrating a racist stereotype instead of making fun of it. And what Santino said is true, context matters. And your very existence as a white woman telling a race related joke IN AMERICA unfortunately alters how the audience is gonna perceive your joke. Ryan Higa essentially does the same bit as you, and it lands for reasons I don't fully understand. I think it may be that as an asian guy he's reclaiming the power over the same mockery he probably received for years by just being self depreciating and clever about it. You mentioned how you add a level of self depreciation in your video, and maybe there's some commentary about some white stereotype that I missed but if thats the case it does not come across that way at all. It really just comes across as you initially mocking yourself in order to give yourself a hall pass to freely mock others.
A final thing I wanna add is that you pointed in the podcast how you don't want to be put into a creative box, but this isn't the case. It's not really true that white comedians can't make jokes about race, because some successfully do so all the time by being skillful about it. A problem I had with you in that interview is that instead of being curious about your missteps you seemed to dig your heels in and imply that society should just adapt to your sense of humour. And while instances of unjust cancellation and oversensitivity do exist, I do not think you have the right to claim that this is one of them. The criticism you are getting is really an opportunity to sharpen your comedy by becoming more self aware about how people manage to successfully follow through on racial humour.
I know this was a bit of an essay but this topic is fascinating to me. And I still think that you are a very talented with lots of good work ahead of you. Hopefully you take the feedback here well.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. I'm glad you like my song.
You think I'm oblivious. I disagree, but we can agree to disagree. Now, my blonde "character" is MEANT to be oblivious. Just like Steve Carell's "character" Michael Scott is MEANT to be oblivious. That's part of why MOST people think it's funny. It's supposed to be cringe. It's interesting how so many people can't grasp that. But that's ok. My goal in life isn't to please everyone or to educate every woke virtue signal warrior on the difference between light-hearted COMEDY and racism.
You say I use the topic of race as a vehicle for comedy because it's convenient and easy to get a laugh. I've made hundreds of RUclips videos. And I do my own stupid stunts. I get injured a lot. I work hard, but knowing that I'm going to spread some joy and make (most) people laugh is what keeps me going. In THIS video and song, I chose to do the accent because my friend who impersonates Mr. Chow from "The Hangover" wanted to be in a video with me. He sounds just like the actor in the movie and he's hilarious. I thought it would be funny if my "dumb blonde" character thinks that part of becoming a ninja like Chow is to sound like him. I think that's pretty funny, and so do millions of others. Again, I'm not trying to please everyone because first of all that's impossible, and second, I would be selling out on following my heart and being my true authentic self. Everyone is walking on eggshells these days and it's no fun. And some of us are tired of it.
I love all people, as long as they have a good heart. All races, all walks of life. I make silly jokes about myself, and about a lot of things, always with a good intention. Am I perfect? No. I make mistakes. But this isn't one of them. The people who don't like it can turn the channel, or go out there and make an ACTUAL difference with unifying people and ending racism. I'm opposite of a racist. I'm very self-aware. (ME not my character) Want to know who I am? You can see some of my tireless work at GoGirlWW.com and GoGirlMGZ.com. I've spent years and any money I make to create content to empower girls and women globally, of all races and walks of life. I've had ups and downs. I've been so broke I've slept in my car. I'm second of twelve children and it wasn't always easy as a child when we went through financial hardships. But we teamed up as a family, worked hard and laughed a lot and told jokes and kept happy hearts through all the ups and downs.
People like Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino, and countless of my haters, want to blindly claim that I'm a white rich entitled blonde, without even seeking the truth. Now THAT in my opinion is RACIST. And all of the people who initially attacked me and my song cost me my business at the time and my stream of income. The death threats and the evil messages all because they didn't like that I sang with an accent, and they justify THEIR actions. WOW. Just wow.
I'm over being run over by these heartless haters who glorify ruining the lives of others. And you think THEY'VE never made a mistake? It's sad. But many people see through this nonsense and are starting to hold the cancel mob accountable.
I'm glad you like my song and think it's catchy. And thank you again for your feedback. Hopefully my respose helps you understand a little bit more about where I'm coming from, and provide some clarification and insight. I'm actually gearing up to film "I Want To Be Neenja" THE MOVIE. I have the most amazing Asian friend with the best personality and sense of humor who will be playing the role of Chow. I think you'll love it. And I think even most of the haters won't be able to help but love it too.
Cheers!
Calm down. I'm Asian and find nothing racist 😆😆😆😆 just a bunch of silly stereotypes. Ask yourself this, had she been black, Hispanic, or Arab singing this same exact song, would you have kept the same energy about it? If your answer is yes, then you need to grow thicker skin sweet buns. If your answer is no, then you're a racist because you only pick and choose who you want to vilify based on their skin color or race which happens to be white. Again, stop being offended on my behalf 😆😆😆😆
@@hangguy209 I wouldn't insult you by being offended on your behalf. I made this response because of my love for good controversial humour, especially when it lands which in this case I argued that it didn't.
@@mynameisreza1 so then why would it be controversial if you weren't somewhat offended on my behalf? It's not controversial for me. It's a silly catchy song. Asians make silly catchy songs about whites too 😆😆😆 it's not even something I'd worry about. I get that you're trying to give her a feedback, but know that we Asians can careless 😂😂😂
@@mynameisreza1 which part of her video did you find the most controversial? Was it the accent thing? Good grief honey, grow thicker skin. When i imitate a hillbilly, i speak with a Southern accent. It's to show the audience who you're impersonating. Someone imitating my accent for a joke isn't racism. Someone telling me they don't like me and think i should leave the country solely because I'm Asian, is racism. Someone thinking they can speak or feel on my behalf because I'm lesser of a human than they are(usually whites who holds white guilt) or they believe I'm incapable of speaking for myself and rendering me inferior, is racism.
What happened to Chow in your music video? Wasn't he supposed to be a friend of yours who is asian?
I wouldn't accuse you of being a racist, but some Asians will feel mocked/offended by this. If you can live with that then congratulations I guess...
@@xyz0zyx ok *some Asians
_"but Asians def feel mocked by this"_
*Lmao generalize a whole race of people. You do realize Asians are actually humans, right? Which means there's no way in hell all of them think or feel the same way about anything. Smh, ppl do this a lot with every race and don't realize how dehumanizing it is. And as for the song being mockery of Asians, what part? It seems everyone upset with her in this video were upset because of the accent. The accent itself has more to do with the language than the race of people dominantly using it. **_I'm not necessarily responding to you, I'm just yapping._** The idea of accent being some expression of racism is a shameful idea... So if a black or white guy mother tongue is Japanese, they come to the US and they speak English that still has a strong Japanese accent, they would probably be seen as racist or whatever.*
@@__________Troll__________ ok
😆😆😆😆😆 I'm Asian and not offended. It's hilarious to see people offended on our behalf tho 😆😆😆😆 stereotypes are truth, not racism. Do our accents do sound somewhat like her silly imitation? Yes. Do we hang out in Chinatown? YES. Nowhere did i see her make hostile remarks about us. People just clout chasing trying to tear her down to get their social justice credits 😂😂😂😂 we can careless. Had she been black or Hispanic, this wouldn't even be talked about.
I don't want to live in the world where everyone has to walk and talk on eggshells to never once, intentionally or not, offend someone. Cause that's a slippery slope. Oh...now I can't say "Hello" to someone because it may be perceived as assault?! Hah, you think that's ridiculous but that's the kind of shit that eventually comes from pandering to the "offended" crowd.
“Imitating a black person isn’t racist” No it’s stereotyping. You’re painting a whole race with the same brush to say “this is how black people act/talk”. The comedy is in the absurdity of someone doing this.
This!!! Thank you!
Pure gold this is 😂😂😂
It kinda depends what the person’s intentions are if it’s racist or not.
15 mins are up honey
Santino literally always does impressions I don’t think he cares that bad
yeah this guy is way off
Well it’s context. He’s like on a stage or a comedy podcast. Bobby and Andrew make fun of each other. Racist blonde trump supporting middle aged women is not a comedian. Comedians can also be racist but it’s all context. This is racist.

@@4eva309 its shut

Lmao. Thinking there was humor in the "NeEnJa song" outside of people making fun of and cringing at the singer for being obliviously racist in front of an asian lady.
Like, what a snowflake, she cant even handle when people accurately tell her why they are laughing at her
I go over to South Korea a lot and I always try to get my Korean friends to talk in an “American” accent to hear how we sound and they all refuse to do it. 😂😂
that's funny :)
No one cares about it being racist, it was just cringe lmao. That’s why people think it’s funny. Ironically lol
I can't stop listening to this song
Racist? No. Out of touch? Absolutely- 😂
Haha you're a legend and the song was well written and hilarious at the same time. If you're ever looking for a 25 yr old sugar baby let me know. I'll cook and clean and help you become a Neenja
Haha You made me smile! :)
I am so sad about santino’s response…c’mon man what are you doing!!!
It really grossed me out
Exactly what Joe Rogan was talking about. It's apparently okay for Santino to make overtly racist jokes but when someone else does it, he starts policing and trying to split hairs. I've lost respect for him after hearing this tbh.
@@JFP1988 Pretty dumb take to compare two friends that constantly rib each other about all kinds of things to a white woman singing a song to a bunch of white people. You can clearly see the only asian in the video did not find it amusing whereas Bobby Lee is laughing all the time. The idea that something done between friends makes every form of racism okay is genuinely one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. And I think you thinking about it in literally any other context would make that pretty obvious.
Yeah how dare he call someone out on blatant racism
It's so borderline because of the obvious asian stereotypes but it's almost perfectly balanced out by how bona fide it is. And asian tropes are just more fair game it seems.
Not as fair game as white Europeans though, anything can be said about them but they just don't complain.
Yeah you can still fuck with the asians, but you can't do a "I wanna pick cotton" or "I want to fast (Ramadan mix)" anymore
Let her make a borderline song about black people and see how that goes
@@randynguyen6402 why? they do it by them selves with their own music. Kanye West anyone?
@@o_huno ? You seem confused bro
Is the song racist? As an Asian listening to it...yes, it feels pretty racist. But I also believe it is possible that Jen did not have racism in her heart when she wrote the song or when she performs it. My biggest gripe is having someone like Andrew Santino condemn Jen while he is the biggest racist in comedy right now. He always cackles at his own jokes with Asian accents and jokes made at an Asian's expense. And he's done it from the start until this very day. So are Andrew Santino and/or Jen Murphy racist? It is hard to answer. I feel racism when I hear this song. And I definitely feel racism any time Andrew does an Asian voice. I just don't like the pot calling the kettle racist. And before anyone pushes back against me...look at it this way. I can't go around making racist jokes, complete with voice acting and improv, and get away with it. Someone would call me out for being racist...and rightly so. So, that's all I'm doing here. But both Andrew and Jen will find ways to profit off this behavior.
Its not offensive til the non-Asian kids sing this song to your Asian child at school.
one word, yikes
It's still hilarious to me that the thing Santino's most popular for is him trashy Bobbies mom while crossing his eyes and mimicking her in an over the top broken english asian voice. "I can do it because of context" Then turning around talking to this woman and literally never asking for context and over talking her when she was trying to give context without being asked to. His context is he's friends with Bobby so its alright if I do it. He's acting like a white guy that has one black friend that says some racist shit then says "it's cool I'm friends with Jamal " Such a clown
Exactly, it's pathetic. Elitist, gatekeeping bs. He thinks he can be a gatekeeper for the Asian community because he has one Asian friend who he routinely makes fun of. What a douche.
I freaking love it!
All these people's opinion don't matter. Bring the Asian woman from the original video. If she says it's not offensive, it's said. She's the one most affected by this whole ordeal.
The song was made for comedy by an entertainer "comedic-comedian" youtuber and she got the woke-hammer 🤔
All very good points. After watching the origin of this video, there were no negative intentions. There are a lot of people who search out the negative. I was one of them.
When is the Jewish song coming out?! That one with the Yiddish accent. Hopefully she publishes it.
LOL. It can't be any more edgy than the Frank Zappa song though right?
As an Asian, this is gold!
As an asian, It’s not the most accurate while she references many asian cultures, none of them being japan (where ninjas are from). I can also understand this woman being a terrifying tourist, but I personally don’t find any of it “offensive.” people that aren’t asian can’t be offended *for* us
Thing is that anyone can want to be a ninja. This is about an Asian (we don’t know what type), let’s say Chinese…wants to be a ninja and chop chop in China town. So it can still be “accurate”.
Kinda like a Japanese person wanting to be a Kung Fu practitioner.
@@mtadc1545 exactly. my white friend can be ninja, my hispanic friend can be ninja, anyone can be neenja if they wanted.
I heard her doing it on RUclips live and was singing it normal without the accent
NEVER! A true Neenja like myself ALWAYS has the accent! That must have been an imposter!
This song is so amazing! Thank you for making it!
still havent let this go 2 years later
It's all she has 😂
@@vampcaff it's all ons needs to be neenja
If you are really a comedian then can you please actually do something funny
Santino actually enjoyed this song 😂
Wtf is he crying about? He does way more shit like that. Like Bobby muda. He comes across as a wuzz.
Can you make a mexican one with a blonde wanting to be a mariachi?
Girl i think you have a right to do whatever you want as long as you know what your intentions are, and you know they where harmless. The same ones complaining and acting like it's so wrong are the same ones who do the same thing. You can't please everyone. I watch bad friends, and honestly this upsets me kind of makes me feel like there fake... I almost wish they would apologize for there actions because I watch them joke anoint black people or Jewish people almost every episode....
Keep doing you girl.
The irony of you wanting them to apologize 😂😂. Clowns of a feather flock together as they say.
@Mike Davidson For running someone's name into the ground and calling what she does racist then turning around and doing the same thing but it's ok because they are comedians.. anyone can joke comedians or not.
Hope the best for you and everyone else.
The song is objectively racist, argue about it as much as you want and continue tokenizing Asian people to legitimize your stance but even the most conservative definition of racism would consider this racist
Is Django racist? How about SouthPark?
I don't find any jokes about my race offensive, because they are jokes.... You need to stop all this complaining, why don't you tackle real racism?
I have spent 37 years as a black man, I know what real racism is. This is not an actual racist woman.
@@stainlessdoom3433 racist content though 🤷♂️
Who cares cry more
You got Mike David's love and approval man he's genius level funny. Hey i saw the whole story about how you came up with this your great don't sweat the haters.
There are two kinds of people..
It's funny so it's not racist,
It's racist so it's not funny.
It IS kind of funny but it IS racist. It's both. It's not complicated.
A dumb blonde trying to be a Ninja isn't racist. That could be funny.
But the moment you start mimicing the accent, even start spelling it "Neenja", it HAS dived into the racist zone.
Well said. All these back and forth comments summed up perfectly!
Exactly, just as Santino's Asian impressions are racist. There are different levels of racism. Just because you make a racist joke doesn't make you a Nazi.
Let’s not pretend the original was an aware comedy act rather than a tactless blunder from a bed salesperson.
I disagree completely. That song was well crafted and well performed, that meant at least a couple of hours a day rehearsing not just the singing, the accent but also the face and hand expressions. This was 100% with the intent of being a funny ad. An ad that would've been just funny in the 90s, but everything becomes controversial in the era of the fragile western generation. Meanwhile asians are laughing it off, because in Asia humor is still humor.
@@LordSesshaku weeb
As an Asian i think this is just funny
1:10 was the best part 😂
Keep doing it! Make fun of everyone and make everyone laugh. If you’re offended, it’s you’re issue. You don’t “give offense” you “take offense.”
Jennifer u can make jokes on anything and its not racist. The world is brainwashed by cancel culture. They’re too low iq in their hypocritical idealogies. Im asian and love it!!!
Love you Jennifer! ♥ come to Utah and we chop, chop, chop snow.
I once lived in Utah for about half a year! Had some great adventures there.
@@JenniferMurphyGoGirl I worked as a hairdresser at the top of Main street in Park City around 2000 for the Olympics. Love your videos. I'm native american but my wife and you could be sister. Blonde and beautiful. ♥ Please do a song about natives. 🙏
@@robbiesharp311 That could be fun! And may also get me in more trouble LOL! Which I don't really mind. :)
@@JenniferMurphyGoGirl I got your back. I've been called a nazii, a racist before. I 😂 laugh
The ridiculous thing about this is she references china town and Ninja are Japanes 😭😭
Why don't you do "I Want To Be Gangsta" and I Want To Be Housemaid too then?
Basically, if you do it with a friend it's ok. If you do it as a eg. skit like that, it's in bad taste.
Is Django in poor taste?
I am not friends with DiCaprio, but I wasn't offended when he said 'nigger'.
You should learn to distinguish reality from fiction.
Context is extremely important, you performing a "comedy song" at a corporate launch event (seemingly as a surprise?) vs Bobby and Andrew perfoming these accents on a COMEDY podcast, where people know what they have signed up for - they are not the same thing. For instance one might do an asian accent amongst friends at the pub, but one wouldn't do it at work infront of colleagues. Also I'm biased because Im a huge fan of Bobby and Andrew, whereas I am not a fan of yours.
I do it at work in front of colleagues on a regular basis ☺️
Nope, she can do it anywhere, anytime at any event. Nobody needs to be warned. You or anyone else getting offended about a song about becoming a ninja does what exactly? Huh? Oh is that nothing I hear? Because that's what it is, a big, fat, juicy NOTHING BURGER hanging from the lips of the language police!
She should perform it to president XI
Bruh your last sentence nullifies any point you were trying to make i hope you realize this. Trying to make a point against a topic involving two parties and blatantly being well I'm a fan of theirs and not you so you bad, just admits you aren't willing to at least critically think or make an educated judgement before labeling a person. Seriously concerns me that people like you can possibly serve on a jury. I'm neutral here have seen the podcast from time to time got laughs got a laugh out of the song... Looking through the channel here there is no hate or malicious intent behind anything it's all jokes.... Quit getting offended on other people's behalf. The entire RUclips channel is context if you take a look through past content.
@@Zaruka92 I cant hardly make sense of your dribble chap. Assuming most people don’t want to hear this at a function is not making judgement, assuming it’s OKAY to do this on the other hand is ignorant. I like to think I’m a good critical thinker, what isn’t good critical thinking is to assume that is to say “it’s a joke, if you can’t laugh at it you’re the problem” instead of acknowledging that some people might find it offensive. This is bad taste, and I think deep down you know that, I didn’t label her anything did I? Again I never said she was spreading hate, what the problem is (again like I’ve said) is context, she’s not funny, it’s clear some of her audience doesn’t find it funny, this is ant a comedy show this is some work event or something - you don’t see that as a problem? I don’t think you understand how a jury works either, a jury should be able to see both sides of an argument - I get it, it is a funny song, it COULD be funny joke, albeit her delivery makes it crap and her making people uncomfortable make it crap. What you’re doing is going “YOURE OFFENDED FOR PEOPLE YOU DONT GET IT”. Also I don’t want anyone on a jury who says “bruh”.
The most offensive thing about this is I wanted to play that game at the end of the video and I can't find it on the app store
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.NeenjaGame.BadFwends
People need to get over silly stuff like this and being offended by everything. People use inclusion backwards, by wanting to be inclusive and highlighting everyone's difference's to show this.
Great job on the video. I wouldn't want to be friends with people that get offended so easily anyways.
It’s not racist, she’s just making humor out of stereotypes. She’s not offending any Asians with her harmless bit. The only ones offended are those thinking that they need to stand up for Asians.
Exactly. And the small percentage of Asians that might be offended can stand up for themselves. You can't please 100% of people all the time. And if you try, you'll please no one at all. And you won't be living an authentic life.
Agreed as an Asian myself. It's cringe af when people wanna be offended on ny behalf 😆😆😆😆 never had i heard her say anything hostile towards us. She didn't tell us to go back to Asia. She didn't say we're inferior. She simply making a silly song outta silly stereotypes of us. Yes it's true, rice is life for me. Stereotypical? Yes. True? Yes. So why would i be mad 😆😆😆😆 even her silly accent is to imitate our accents, which is TRUE. I imitate Hindi accent all the damn time so people know exactly who I'm impersonating 😆😆😆😆 the internet is just soft. No harm no foul here. People just wanna clout chase by targeting this lady because she's easy target for being white. Had she been black, crickets everywhere. I'm not offended whether she is white, black, purple, green because i have thick skin.
@@hangguy209 You rock! Hey, I looked up your channel. Are you a dancer?
@@JenniferMurphyGoGirl that's like years ago 😆😆😆😆 but yes i used to breakdance. Still do but minimal
@@hangguy209 nice! Maybe you and a coupe of your buddies could have a cameo in my I Want To Be Neenja MOVIE that I'm getting ready to film :)
the sad thing is i dont think anyone who is defending this song is actually asian, and even if they are they don't represent the whole community and a lot of asians said they found it offensive.
To be fair, on the opposite
The offense of some doesn't apply to the entire race either
@@ironspaghett yeah, some people might not be offended, but it doesn't make it unproblematic it is still racist and still can offend a lot of people.
@@leonardkagamine3881 I think people have been putting way too much emphasis on what offends them
If you invent a way of looking at the world, you can decide what you see
Offense will be everywhere
You aren't totally wrong
It's just more complicated than that
Well, loads of people do Indian and Pakistani accent imitations, I don't get offended by it, neither does the vast majority of Indians and Pakistanis. It's actually quite comedic. I think this whole discussion about restricting who can do what and compartmentalising different people are divisive and will continue to add flames to the fire about racism. Wokeism doesn't work to combat racism.
@@Espiritu_de_Obiwon No, it never could.
It seems to be about making rules for certain groups of people that do not apply to other people
And promotes division along racial, political and familial lines
It hasn't helped, or done anything positive.
i know asians who banter asians from different countries to theirs plus she hasn’t signalled out any aisan country. Above all the song is hilarious. fair play to her.
I love it. I sing it all the time
The Italian accent is made fun of all my life and I’m never offended
Cuz ur white 😂
Pfffff hahaha Italian isn’t a race Fredo. To compare this and racism against Asians is the funniest thing related to this channel
@David DaVito there's also generic European accents that people make fun of, and 1 its hilarious and 2 its not offensive
@@verdusco0300 Europeans want to feel oppressed so bad that whenever POC face racism they have to make it about themselves
@@daviddavito1158 I’m Irish. people dress up as leprechauns, shout potato’s & lucky charms, do poor Irish accents. And I couldn’t give one fuck about it. Comparing Asians and different European cultures is not stupid whatsoever. You thinking everything is racist in America. It’s weird
That game looks awesome but I can't find it 😕
On Google Play Type in: Bad Fwends
As an asian, i can’t even complain about the song lol
Just funny and thats it
Thesedays people too sensitive
And i want to be ninja
You already are neenja
I unironically love the song.
I'm Chinese and I'd just want to say.....I feel like it would have been a great preface if you actually told us that you already know that ninjas are Japanese and that you intentionally mixed up Chinese and Japanese cultures. if you made that known, then it'd make more sense
Because the whole debate of whether or not it's racist, mostly stems from that. It comes off as you not knowing the cultural history behind each country and mistaking them to be the same.
So long as you can recognize that they are two completely different countries and cultures - and that you're making fun of a lot of white people who actually believe they're the same.
@@slimeb0y_ is it REALLY that deep though?
@@NeinFeline no, exactly, it's not that deep. It's not that hard to Google if ninjas are Japanese or not. So long as she can preface she's not actually stupid, it's fine
@@slimeb0y_ Explaining jokes is like dissecting frogs, you learn something but the frog dies. It's not the comedian's fault if you don't understand a joke.
@@stainlessdoom3433 except there's too many stupid people who actually do genuinely believe ninjas come from China. So it's kinda hard to see if she thinks it's funny because it's inaccurate or if it's funny because she's a white girl singing this. The first reason would be the appropriate satirical kind, the second reason would be a racist reason.
I wish we could get an interview with the Asian woman standing there. That’s what makes this a big deal. If she wasn’t in the room this would not have blown up
Shut up!!!!! No one asked!!!!
Is there a reaction video made by that Asian lady at the party? Because she looked visually and physically uncomfortable being there. especially when the singer got right up in their face. I want her perspective and opinion.
Yay! I'm so happy I left you this first comment! You're the best! Santino is a prick, before the interview with you he talked multiple times about how awesome your song was. He's just jealous because you are a beautiful blonde female who is funnier than him by miles. Never stop being you and F the haters.
Thank you! I’m fed up with cowardly bullies and I’m ready to stand up for people who have been unjustly attacked by the woke mob. I'm even coming out with "I Want To Be Neenja" the movie and I hope you love it Nicky. Thanks for the support!
@@JenniferMurphyGoGirl sign me up, I can't wait!
@@JenniferMurphyGoGirl im so excited for it bro lol
@@JenniferMurphyGoGirl That is incredibly cool! I'll buy the movie when it comes out! It's just comedy..
That's why he's a professional comedian and she's still trying to milk this 15 minutes of fame common sense is dead here
