Why should I go to any UK comedy show knowing full-well that due to the pressures of wokeism, political corporatism and freedom of speech that it guarantees a watered-down, careful, less funny experience than 20 years ago?
You know Uncle Roger likes to plug it right ladies? (Sorry children).
He didn't even say anything that 'offensive'. It was a LITTLE joke, but that just goes to show why authoritarian regimes can't allow humor.
I think if we started to define authoritarians as 'people who cannot joke about themselves', you'd reveal a very interesting character trait and analysis for leaders and their leadership
Puhaha of course let's make some joke about trans in Canada or UK you go directly in jail!
LMAO
@@biancaenera2500 Canada and the U.K. have just gone nuts...
Mockery is poison to authoritarians
You can NEVER make fun or poke fun about the CCP. They don't accept all that. This is authoritarianism, yet ironically westerners complaint about freedom in their respective countries. Lol
Haiya mainland china so sensitive la

Comment is FUIYOOoH!!!

It is so unfair that a talented man like Nigel would get banned in a whole country for politics that he was never even involved in.
Its a communist country that's what you get . It's coming to a country near you. It's called esg and united nations
That’s why people like old Soviet jokes in China😂 These jokes lurk under the radar of the government (because no direct offense to the current regime), but they’re still sardonic and witty enough
Unfair, lol.
@@Easy2Peel This reminds me of the brilliant Jára Cimrman Theatre, which was founded in communist Czechoslovakia and had many jokes about Austria-Hungary in its plays, which also often perfectly fitted on the communist regime of the time.
🤣That is communism/socialism.
"Social media makes everyone think that others should give a shit about their opinion" This is the truth.
Some people need their existence to have purpose or meaning. Some people need to be special. This predates social media. It's just an inherent part of the human experience and condition. All social media is doing is catalyzing it, widening the difference between people who can get over it and people who can't.
@@silbury2325 our generation's trial by fire. Handle with care
@@silbury2325 Really well put 👏🏻 Its always happened, but people used to do it in other settings face to face. Now its all faceless and online which means people either go extreme for interaction or their opinions are shaped to extremes by the content that they consume.
Dude who cares
Sorry couldn't resist. You're right. 😊
@@davidkelly499 that’s our day and age in a nutshell man.
Comedians are our watchdogs. They've been "waking" the world for centuries. Harnessing their humor and content is a flat out red flag for any nation.

I never realised how well spoken he is outside of his character. Brilliant podcast guys 💪🏼
Right… I think people that have a great sense of humor are usually very intelligent.
@@peachperfect1896
There’s actually been studies and

There’s actually a handful of categories that people actually underestimate when it comes to
intelligence.
It’s just not necessarily
the outdated Einstein sort

some expect.
It just means they play their persona really well. I was shocked when I first saw Rowan Atkinson out of his Mr Bean character many many years ago too.
@@GILLIGFAN Very true though. Many associates intelligence with jobs like Doctors, Scientist, Lawyer, Engineer or just as simple as when you're good with math. When in fact you can be Intelligent in so many ways.

In my country (Thailand) a famous song was banned from any live stages because most of the singers and its listener changed the lyric during the chorus for sing along to criticized the military coup 🤣
Every western country in the last 80 years: "fuck..."
I'm Malaysian, and I am so proud of Uncle Rogerrr 🇲🇾
I only recently got into his content after seeing this interview, so I missed him during the viral days which means I didnt know he had the whole 'scandal'. So his final thoughts really resonated because as someone who didn't know about the 'storm' - it didn't exist for me, hence "go outside and touch leaves" echoes the fact that the world is bigger than the sensitivities we encounter on the internet that is siloed in social media. Keep up the good work Nigel! May good food unite us all ❤️😆
I have been watching him since he was just Nigel and didn't know anything about the scandal with China, so don't worry about it
I am so surprised even my 11 years old daughter knew uncle roger.. i watched this video and she recognized his voice directly.. thats mean he is so popular
As a malaysian how do you feel about Jocelyn Chia?
@@hiboyu I think her jokes are not suited for Malaysians who are as easily 'butthurt' as China considering the Western comedy format she went for. There is too much cultural sensitivity and religious sensitivity in Malaysia for edgy jokes 🤷🏽♀️ i haven't heard anyone making fun of 9/11 successfully. And if they do tempt it, there is always a self-awareness like, "too soon?" which she didnt exhibit. So for her, it ended up having the same backlash because the context is that Malaysians dont have freedom of speech in the name of comedy or even at all. LOL. And even if a Western comedian tries this type of humor, it's always trying to be a cultural commentary. In summary, Malaysians having 60% Malays, 20% Chinese, 10% Indian and others, I would say her jokes about Malaysians think Singapore is better would be for Chinese-Malaysian sentiment 🤷🏽♀️ so its distasteful, especially if she sell her jokes to Western audiences who already think Malaysia is a 3rd world country that dont have internet 🤣 better stick with food like Uncle Roger 🤣
I might be mistaking, but Uncle Roger is looking rather Chinese to me. Is he a member of the Chinese minority of Malaysia?
Definitely a interview I never imagined! Good on uncle roger.
Wow this makes me respect Nigel a lot more. I feel it’s hard for us Asians when we disappoint people or do something that is deemed wrong in someone’s eyes because we’ve been trained to stay within the lanes, be obedient and don’t ruffle feathers. Even though he didn’t mean for the storm to happen, he decided to make a stand on what he feels is right and that’s extremely admirable.
It's fascinating to think about the similarities between woke people and Chinese nationalists.
I guess…. To me it’s blatant. The USA is modeling their economics and social society after the CCP. Social crediting systems, Real ID, facial recognition, censorship. We can’t compete militarily against the eastern world and so we try and copy their economics and social systems…
Well most of them do love the iPhone, checks out.
literally the same.
Exactly what Jordan Peterson said, the underlying philosophy of these two groups is the same.
CCPSJW+++
I came from main land. Hey Uncle Roger, I just want you know that most of us love your show, sorry about those thing happen to you. We are not that sensitive, people who can't get joke just because they trained to think what is correct first, deep down it came from fear they didn't realize. I feel sorry for them.
HAAAA!!! "I want rich parents that will still beat me once in a while." -- "You want rich Asian parents."
Comedy gold!
Comedians sitting around talking while not trying so hard to be “on” is one of the best things you can watch.
I wish they would have talked about Nigel's collaboration with Gordon Ramsay. Gordon and Nigel seem to understand each other and play off each other well. And their business teams seem to strategize well together. He has a sharp team working with him.
Nigel - "But why you drain egg fried rice!!!"
Gordon- "Do you know ho many woks I have ? 83! "
Nigel- "So why don't you use one?!"
Gordon-😂
@@creatureliveGordon 'Wok fk boi' Ramsey
I recently came across Uncle Roger, I'm 72 and he makes me laugh so much, which is gold!
Emotional Damage!!! Love this guy. He's nailed every stereotype about my Asian family PERFECTLY..
Emotional damage is a different guy though :D
Different guy dude 😂
They look very similar.....
That's Steven He..
LMAO, you're Asian and you can't tell him apart from Steven He? How do you have racial face blindness for your own race??
Countries that don't allow humor have no idea that that is how they become the joke. 🤦♂️
nobody is safe around free speech im all for it
He's his own opening act. That's too funny!
Nigel is one of the the most genuine people out there. Great vid guys!
He looked so uncomfortable when they veered into that whole censorship realm. I think past experiences have told him to leave certain subjects alone. We're creating a world where people second-guess what they're about to say because they sense the backlash/consequences it may engender. Social media is a double-edged sword.
“I haven’t really thought about it” … that doesn’t wash.
this is actually possible, because Malaysia is also very sensitive in many topics, especially politics, race, and religion.
It really is. But just recently i saw more examples of independent creators who suffered through festivals and auditions without ever getting discovered. And they found their audience on youtube, which gave them a lot of independence from other middlemen and stability. I like that.
The first time he got cancelled I thought "This guy's apologizing for somebody else's behavior? No way somebody that inoffensive is very funny. He just got lucky and his reaction video went viral" and I didn't think about him again until I saw what got him cancelled this time. Since this controversy was over the actual routine and not a social media post, I saw a clip of him actually doing stand up, interacting with the audience and my opinion really has changed. So yeah, he's right, +1 respect from me.
That original fried rice video still is one of the funniest things I’ve seen.
My gran loves him 😂 when I see her she asks if I have more Uncle Roger to show, it's so sweet
Hyped! I have been entertained by Uncle Roger for quite a while now so it will be great to see him talk to you guys.
Petition to get J.K Rowling on the show.
Signed!
It would be LEGENDARY.
YES PLEASE!!
I discovered Uncle Roger just few days ago, and he is BRILLIANT.
Always great material! Keep it up.
Thanks for sharing your side of the story, Nigel. Didn't know the story behind Mike Chen and the fuss around him was about. Getting cancelled by big brother might be a good thing though, you no longer need to walk on eggshells and self-censor your materials. All the best!
Still watch uncle roger and strictly dumpling even after that whole cancellation going on. It left a sour taste but knowing that uncle roger was pretty new back then its understandable to make mistake especially with communication between youtubers. This really shed the light on his struggles and how he move on, I'm glad he does this interview.
Fun to watch & informative. A fine interview.
Their loss, our gain. I will keep watching because I like his content and comedy.
Loved the interview! Felt too short! Hope to see a collab! Thank you to Nigel and the Trigger team! ❤
Uncle Roger on RAW!
@@alexandras5347 that would be amazing!

You are very welcome to Taiwan!!!
There's a saying "有共不辱，愧對父母“, from a famous Taiwanese RUclipsr, 波特王. lol
You know what? I think I'll check out Nigel's special! Great interview. Seems like a genuinely sweet human being.
Uncle Roger, many people of Chinese race all over the world love you. Stay true to yourself. Support you.
Full of respect, support you always my fellow Malaysian, be real, be you ❤
When KK said he didnt think CCP would cancel people, he really had no idea.
shows what a bubble he lives in!
It's not really cancelling as we've come to know it in the west.
@@justme-hh4vp he doesn't strike me as someone in a bubble but it's all the more surprising given hes from Russia and Stalin was the OG cancelling
@@chrisbfreelance west cancel culture is only social. In China, there are social and government cancel culture. If worse come to worse like humiliating xi, they will jail you.
Dude!! Can't believe you interviewed Nigel. The best Nigel.
Well spoken, articulate very funny what a great guy!
I had no idea Auntie Helen was German lol
Good on you, lads, for posting this today
UNCLE ROGER! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE INTERVIEWING HIM.
I LOVE Uncle Roger. He is WONDERFUL
Recorded June 4. That's today! Holy hell, that's quick turnover. Well done Anton!
Nigel ng have big heart ❤️❤️ he so kind person 😊😊 you can see when he listens to host..very respectful person😊😊 i can feel it
Congrats Nigel! I discovered you this year and can't get enough of Uncle Roger. I live in LA, let me know if you need any help getting settled.
Lovely and funny man, just started following Nigel and I am impressed
Love Uncle Roger! He's a great comedian and should get a bigger chance!
I love uncle Roger. Very glad to see this and get a peek behind the curtain.
What a freaking amazing podcast episode. Insta-subbed.
Konstantin and Francis, FUIYOH!
Uncle Roger is so Refreshing and honest. Funny guy.
Fukk u smoking. He is not honest at all. Bro he is on China side he tried canceling the dude for China and never even addressed it
Really glad to hear this. Saw the Strictly Dumpling thing real time. Had no idea about all the Falungong deal and all that.
He has links to FLG events and stuff in his descriptions all the time as far as i can remember, though he's more prevalent in his involvement on the second channel.
Uncle Roger is hilarious. Keep going!
loved this. interesting, engaging, fun. thank you :) and great kudos to this uncleRoger!
I have been watching your first video and now can’t believe how far you’re now! . Congratulations
Really is mental gymnastics and has to be soul crushing for comedians now who've got a presence online. However, what the cancel culture fail to realize is that when they try to cancel a comedian for a spicy joke, that comedian then becomes more well known and watch their specials just like with Dave Chapelle.
Awe. Bless him. Just love his personality and it is really interesting to meet the man behind the character. ❤ Wish him loads more success. Imagine all the Chinese Uncle Rogers that we never meet because of the government’s control of the pop.
He is a good Chinese and listened to the ccp as well.
@@xiaonanw6374 Yep you beat him in the spam youtube comment section though. Making the CCP so proud.
@@justincenters2762 are you on fent or meth. I am as anti China as is possible. Roger sided with China... he is the bad communist sympathizer. He would be in their markets but they banned him after he helped them silence a good dude.
@@justincenters2762 you can not read and are apparently racist to think a Chinese name means supporting china's dumb and dying communists. SMH your the type of simple mind communism loves.
@@justincenters2762 I'm making a point to have the point not get washed over by the stupid and or greedy. Such as yourself. The only thing dumber than a communist Chinese??? U 😭 and maybe north Koreans
I’m amazed a lot of other people didn’t cancel him after watching that special. It was so cringe and so hilarious. I absolutely loved it. Glad to have spent $15 to watch it.
No he should be canceled for trying to cancel the other youtuber when China asked him to. He is a hypocritical sellout
Just send ur cash to China they r one n the same
@@xiaonanw6374but he is cancelled by China. How is that work now? 😂.
Also, he is Malaysian and not mainlandernese
@@daisuke910 he chose to listen to the Chinese government in hopes of being bigger in their marketing. He failed. That was his stupidity, he should be canceled here for justice and karma
@@daisuke910 are u dumb bro?
It comes up time and time again. If you apologise in this current world, all you are doing is confirming you were "wrong" and then opening up avenues for further attack. It does you no good.
That China comedy clip was golden. Damn that’s funny
Just discovered Uncle Roger. He is unbelievable . Good luck !
Fun and funny , thank you 🙏🏻🌷✨🙏🏻
Awesome content, this is the exact juxtaposition of interesting sub topics that is the real deal of interesting thought experiments everybody should be concerned with,
Somehow, I suspect Jamie Oliver was the mastermind behind all of this...
That chilli jam...

We don’t care if they cancel you Uncle Roger! From Philippines!
Screw you, quit being a hater. He's funny. QUIT BEING A HATER!
Just found this channel ( because you have Uncle Roger as a guest ) and I love that you guys give your guests the opportunity to speak their truth as apposed to the haters “ opinions “ of them. Nigel ( Uncle Roger ) is an excellent choice of a guest , he’s hilarious humble intelligent and appears to be a very decent nice guy. Uncle Roger being cancelled is insanity, his words are comedic, jokes ffs, he’s a COMEDIAN and has my 100% support ❤️I love his channel also. Thank you, subscribed and notifications on 👍👍
Uncle Roger is the reason I bought a rice cooker albeit a budget but rice cooker none the less
Most neutral ( and accurate ) view on the FG/CCP contention i have yet heard. :-)
Nigel's story needs to be seen on the big screen...either as a biopic drama and/or a documentary. Dave Chappelle should be involved, perhaps as the primary producer.
Thanks for the interview and now we know a little bit more of the falung gong
Thank you uncle Roger & thank you Triggernometry. Finally, someone let English speakers understood the real CCP and what meant of Chinese style freedom. But fact is, the case is even worst than that.
Chinese fan here. I only know Uncle Roger after watching the clip causing him to be canceled in China. Please create more jokes about CCP and Xi Jinping!
Hello! Just want to thank you guys for inviting Roger to the show. I have to admit that I immediately stopped watching all of Roger contents as soon as i heard that he kowtowd to the CCP. Needless to say, i then didn't bother to research or dig deeper on Roger side of the story.
Glad to hear his side of the story now, and I have to admit that I'm ashamed of my immediate decision back then. Apologies Nigel, glad that everything's going well for you now :)
Great show with Nigel Ng Uncle Roger. Thank you.
Please come to Taiwan! Stand up comedy is getting popular in Taiwan now. It is probably the most open minded, free country in the Mandarin speaking world
I do like the fact that he refuses to take a political slant. That's clever marketing if it isn't true and downright beneficial if it is.
In his case he's refusing to BE a political slant

So good to hear the full story from Nigel. On face value, I enjoyed his vids and was just disappointed he 'shilled' for the CCP. Now hear this wasn't the case, just a reminder to me to not completely swallow what's fed to me. Cheers guys, nice interview 👍
I love how organic this interview is!!! We all need this. Exactly!!! Make fun of everybody. That's comedy. I stutter - it gets better or worse - but if people crack a joke about it if I start up - I dont get offended if its funny. Humor and discrimination are 2 different things.
This conversation is fascinating!
OMG!!! I am sooooo excited for this!!!!! I LOVE Uncle Roger!!!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow this is explosive information. Of all the Strictly Dumplings videos I watch, I have no idea that Mikey Chen is a member of Fa Lun Gong...I don't recall him ever mentioning anything in his food review videos. Sorry to hear that you have to go through that mess of a situation. It's like stepping on a landmine without knowing it.
He has links to FLG events and stuff in his descriptions all the time as far as i can remember, though he's more prevalent in his involvement on the second channel
I honestly try to avoid anyone involved with CCP and FLG. We don't need the psyop.
I love Nigel, he's smart, funny, and handsome, what more could you want?
I don't think it is always an obligatory, diversity thing to be hired. A lot of cultures "take the piss" out of their own. We have indigenous Black Comedy here in Australia and they are great, "Deadly" as they say. I think you are genuinely loved because of your attitude and you are truly a funny man to listen to.
I love seeing the guys blossom when interviewing a fellow comic. This is a comedy show right now
Very interesting to hear how social media works in similar ways in very different cultures and seems to amplify outrage everywhere.
Interesting, i guess because I watch triggernometry a few Uncle Roger clips ended up in my feed today so today was the first time I had seen any of his clips. Pretty funny stuff.
Uncle Roger, forget about China.....you have a huge market to capture, which is India. Make your Haiya Specials in India. I bet you will be a huge hit there. You will be idolized in this English speaking comedy loving modern India because you bring a total new version of comedy to their palate. As a fellow Msian, you knew about Indian culture and cuisines well, so expand your wings there.
As much as I enjoy the societal/political stuff, the interviews you do with other comedians always feels like one of those great chats you have with mates at the pub when 5 beers deep!
As a Chinese mainlander,it’s good for you to give up the Chinese market
how so?
Great interview!!!
Can't wait!
"I would like to express our sincerest apologies to everyone"
"It "reads" like an apology" 🤣🤣🤣
I remember Mike Chen/Strictly Dumpling saying Nigel did not contact him during the apologizing to China thing. I think that's why he went on those different channels and talked about it
A very groovy episode. Quite interesting and informative.
Interestingly, I saw one of the Mikey Chen podcasts at the time shortly after. However, Mikey Chen actually did state he 'completely understood why Nigel did it' (paraphrasing). I cannot speak for every podcast Mikey Chen appeared on, but I thought he was actually being pretty cool about the whole thing and was rather understanding. I think he was a little annoyed, but he didn't verbally/vocally saying anything outwardly negative about Nigel from what I recall.
However, if you do not watch the whole podcast and you are in a certain mindset, you could potentially convince yourself you were 'thrown under the bus', but I don't think that happened.
I started cooking egg fried rice because of him.
Historically artists have always been the truth tellers. Its why art is so important even though the medium changes with time.
Soon as I heard his voice I remembered him from his appearance on Mock the Week. He appeared in my all time favorite episode. and explaining why "Even our Nigels come from Malaysia now!".
