I am a retired videographer so I was very conscious of my technique (getting close-ups, etc.) I’m truly grateful that I am able to share this treasure with the world!

    Chief is actually a pretty good role model. He's strong, and physically intimidating, but well spoken, worldly and intelligent. Confident, but very friendly. He takes charge of the room, but also not afraid to have fun and look silly himself. He's basically doing a comedy show and teaching people survival skills at the same time, with jokes that are timeless and funny to people from very different cultures like America and Japan. Dude is a real Chad.

      Actually he demean himself. Whites,esp american, think tribal people are stupid and backwards.(or basically other country sucks and they r the best/most advanced) That's why his jokes worked. (Bic,gasoline,pissing on fire etc)

      @@clarkAHathaway in a comedy drama/show the most important thing is the delivery, even a simple word can be a joke if done by a professional , and this chief is confident, i don't think some other people would be good even if they repeat or play his role.
      In our local area we have a comedian who is funny even if he speaks a normal everyday conversation with a bit of a stutter, we called him a born and gifted comedian, his every word was funny, but if his joke was done by others its more like a cringe, that is why the comedian is an important role as their material really sums up their joke and their delivery is on point.

    Amazing natural comedian. Best laughter I've had in a while. Thank you for sharing. Chief's enthusiasm shines and in the short 25 minutes, I'm certain we all learned, were entertained and given memorable insights of Samoan culture.
    Comedy does not know any border, if only we all live together like this everyday.

    He's really really good in his timing as well as his delivery lol he's in this, say, neutral territory, when it comes to humor, where it's generally understandable by anybody from various cultural origins. Plus the voice cracks 😆 it adds to his delivery. Most of all, it's beautiful when people still preserve the traditions of their ancestors despite advancing into modernity in a very fast pace
