Dude. Andrew/Phil trying to speak mandarin to his grandma had me dying of laughter! LOOOOL As a 2nd generation asian-american with basic mandarin skills, i can relate HAHAHAHA! "Pig...strips"
在中国就叫培根
his american accent when speaking madarin tho 🤣🤣
"zhu tiao" seems perfectly reasonable tho lol (i don't know the actual word)
What IS the chinese word for bacon??
apatheticAnxiety uhhh peigen or smth? My chinese isn’t that good I think 培根
Taylor's editing is fire! Give him all the awards please!
behzad sandila MY BEST FRIEND’S EDITING IS HOT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

"Someday you're gonna be on a spirit flight and you're gonna _wish_ you had comfortable"
I died.
My fav line. I hear Spirit is terrible.
So a lot of ppl still think we’re talking down on ALL ppl who pursue a stable/comfortable life. That’s NOT what we’re saying. It’s probably more specific to Asians in Western countries, but I know there are a lot of us who settle in life, who become boring, stagnant, apathetic and never step back to reflect how this could be hurting them. (Believe it or not, yes I’ve seen couples break up over this stuff.) So NO, we’re not saying stability is bad, just asking, what are you gonna do once you get it? Are you gonna get involved in a community? Are you gonna reignite a hobby you suppressed? Are you gonna support an indie production group by buying their series on Vimeo 😜 Thx for all the positive feedback. What was your favorite part of Ep 2? Ready for Ep 3 tomorrow?? #yappie
pwangs Phil, people seriously feel like they're getting attacked for being Yappies? Lol You're not even criticizing safe/stable lifestyles. Rather encouraging people to seek balance in their lives instead. Too many ppl stick to what they're comfortable with and rarely branch out, mostly out of fear. Asian Americans as a whole, we lack voices in the community cos not enough of us get involved in matters that effect real change.
Loving this series!
pwangs : The fact people are talking about it is a step in the right direction.
No one really brought this topic up in the media until recently
Don't worry Phil. When some folks hit their 30's they'll soon realise that the last decade of doing things your parents' and culture's way can only get you so far, and that life is meant to be lived and humans are meant to grow. The catch? Growth happens outside the comfort zone. Loving this series and the dialogue it's encouraging. Keep doing what you do Wong-Fu. You guys are the bomb.
Spot on!!! Too many of my Asian friends are soooo unhappy living the stable stagnant life. I wish they were true to themselves. We don't have to logic and have a stable life. It's okay to live a little. There's so many rewards when you become more fearless. Make mistakes!!! I personally do think it's bad to be stable if it's not true to what you want to be doing. I'll give up all my riches and life to help the poor and those suffering and that's something I realised a bit late because I was raised to fear being poor.
JOSH!!! 0:51
ikr
hahah truly
This is seriously the first series on RUclips that I can literally see on something like Netflix or Hulu. The quality is incredible, the acting top notch. And as a black man, it's really interesting to see things from the perspective of another minority and seeing issues I never really had a way to see.
Keep it up and I can't wait for the next episode!
Dalmy Dog right? I’m black too and I’ve been following their content for years, because there’s a lot about the Asian community I’d never know if it wasn’t for them.
I feel the same way!
Yo black guys. Its a really good recount of what it was like to be an Asian growing up in a western country (I'm Australian). The acting, historical account and cultural accuracy is top notch!
AGREEEE
I'm white but from Europe so Asian Americans are really interesting to me… the U.S. is already so different in general, but then when it comes to the different types of minorities, subcultures and cultural heritages it becomes even more intricate, to me as a European anyway, when on the surfice it doesn't really seem like it.
LOL at Andrew going to SAT class when he was like 7 in that flash back scene
oh hell yeah i got sucked into that by my mom at like grade 6, didnt even need to give me act sat scores for my college.
Lol that's so relatable though, I took my first SAT pretty late in comparison to my friends and I did it in 7th grade
*RUclips wasn't a thing when I was in HS either. Jesus I'm old.*
40 ? Late 30s maybe?
@@danpt2000 he looks to be in his 20s I'm shook
@@danpt2000 Wasn't RUclips founded in 2005? SO he could be in his early 30's or late 20's
Must be around 33 or something, because RUclips was def a thing when I was in high school.

This character just needs a hobby, that’s all.
Daniel Kwan his parents wanted him to be like this.
But with the shame that comes with what you gave up, you have to... dance to reclaim sense of self worth.

Yup
Maybe Gunpla?

"Someday you're gonna be on a Spirit flight and you're gonna wish you had comfortable" that part killed me
There nothing wrong with being a yappie. The thing is that before RUclips and social media , everyone kinda view Asians in terms of social life, careers , etc as usually a working profession like engineering , tech , etc. or nothing but school. We were all bound to do this or that or because traditional minded family told us to do this so we can have a better successful life . The thing is as we get older and social media started to exist , we start to see Asians from a different view. We’re not the stereotypes you see in movies tv shows or what you think or learn from our friends. The moral of this series to show that you can be whatever you want. Not let stereotypes or old traditional thinking defy you or your life. Learn to take risks. If you want to be a yappie that’s fine nothing wrong with that. It’s just that there’s more options to making it as an asian in America then just doing things one way or the traditional way. Overall you decide the life you want. You decide who you want to be. You decide the happiness and success you live and not let anything or anyone dictate or defy your life. Its your life. BE WHO YOU ARE AND BE PROUD OF IT!
Goldjade14: I so agree with you.
definitely one of the messages we're trying to get across!
Goldjade14 thAnk you ;)
I was honestly a bit worried going in; worried that it was going to just paint "yappie" and anything like it in a negative light, but I'm happy to see that it's shaping up to be more so about being comfortable and confident in who you *are*.
I'd be happy with comfortable with a few hidden portions of wild. Comfortable is highly under rated.
Rewatched this in 240p out of respect
stalewich yes
his cousin lowkey sounds like Tom Holland's spiderman
I DIDNT THINK I WOULD FIND THIS COMMENT
Now I can't un-hear it. 😂
Arrgghhh the broken Chinese like oooooooff it hurts man
I heard IHOP serves dim sum now. Wild.
It's IHOb now
Vishnu Subhash iho🅱️
Ihob serves pancakes, IHOP serves dim sum. Get the facts right
You mean IHob
That's fine, but IHOP doesn't exist.
I simply don't understand what's so bad about being a yappie, being in a stable, comfortable position in life where you can enjoy the fruits of your hard labor. I dream about being in that position.
They cover it more later in their eps but I totally agree I felt the same way! I think they mean more-so that you're comfortable and also very narrow view of what life is about and sticking too much to traditional Asian sensitivities regarding different aspects of life (work, social life, relationships, etc) without being open minded to what else the world has to offer. Stay tuned, you'll see!
WhenItsHalfPastFive I hope they'll explore that more as well. So far it seems like the main negative aspect is one girl not wanting to be his gf... Although they did touch on the idea that being safe can mean abandoning possible passions or interests that don't align with that. Like how Phil abandoned dancing.
Haven't seen the newer episodes yet, but I think it's not so much being comfortable and stable as it is trying to fit a stereotype at the expense of his own aspirations. Like in this episode how his friends were saying he has to like dim sum, or at least pretend to like it. If Phil didn't actually like dim sum, to other people it could seem like he is fake, and putting on a show just to meet expectations. You can probably see how this caused issues in his past relationships. In a serious relationship your partner can almost always tell if you're being genuine or not. If he acts like a yappie around his gfs, they probably could tell he wasn't being his true self.
There's nothing wrong with being a yappie, I think Wongfu is trying to start more conversations about the nature of being a yappie more than anything else. I myself am one, but I recognize that many yappies have a certain characteristic of not caring about the issues that permeate our society and going along comfortably, obediently, and submissively in the face of crisis/issues that other groups go through. It's not a necessarily a criticism but definitely a message to push Asian-Americans to be more involved in American society and the issues that others still face.
Thought the same thing, until I realized that being comfortable can also hold you back at times.
Thank you for making this series! I'm literally crying while watching this! Can totally relate to everything!❤
This is like the male version of Insecure and I love it! I feel like any 1st generation Americans can relate to this show to some degree.
As a 29 year old asian male...I CAN RELATE TO THIS SO MUCH.
Wong Fu always pulling through
wtf i like ur playlist thx
Leaf in Still Water hahaha thanks
ayyy love your playlists
Appreciate it, homie!
Yeah just do me a favor bro: if a bitch talk this way to you slap her soul all the way to italy, I will slap her back to wherever you are and then you can put her in the trash bin.
do you hear yappie or laurel tho
Ha Ha!!!!
Yaurrel!
I sweaarrrrrr
Omg lmao
Bro this series is so good I can tell how much you all put into this and I’m looking forward to the next episode
really loving this series. phil you're such a good actor. i love the whole cast and i'm glad Wes is along for the ride. good stuff
LOL of course phil brings in his past dance experience
I don't get it, the one moment they tell you to settle, grow up and get your shit together, the next they say you're boring, adventurous and safe..... I don't understand life anymore
Matthijs de Rijk it’s a balance. Life is all about trying to find that balance.
So don't listen to what they tell you.
I guess from "phil" and these other stable, high income, family oriented, hard working asians life was too easy and comfortable for them. They dont bother to know what its like on the other end of the spectrum. A lot of americans, whites, blacks, hispanic strive to have what asian americans have that came easy for them through their parents hard work and investment. Theres nothing wrong with the premise of this series. If anythig it just shows Phils and other asian american like phil their insecurities. I think theres a huge difference between westcoast asians and east coast asians. I think eastcoast asians will not be able to relate much. eastcoast asians tends to just assimilate to the rest of americans and they dont stick with only asians. I wish that channels like wongfu would focus more on the possitive aspect of being asian and make skits about it. The whole victim mentality have been played out too much by other races. Itd be nice to take a different approach to get to the top using positivity
@Mattijs You're right bruh. Girls that complain about "being safe", whatever the hell that means, aren't girls worth holding on to. Just be with them while they find you interesting and let them move on when they don't find you interesting anymore. They are just going to jump from one man to another once they find the current man "boring" anyway. The dim sum and dance class things are such minor "issues" that if relationships are predicated on those things then it's not even a solid relationship to begin with. Being with someone compatible should be the number one priority for both men and women. Unless both of you want to travel the world and bungee jump off every bridge you see, then if the woman isn't stable and wants to leave, then so be it. And vice versa.
I had the same problem. I am not saying you can't be a thrill-seeker. You can't be adventurous. It's just NOT POSSIBLE to always sustain that. We don't live in societies like that. Andrew is being picked on and I find it unfair especially when Lana says "Intimacy wasn't our problem." Yes, she has all right to reject Andrew BUT it isn't his fault and I don't like her blaming it on him.
love the direction Wong Fu is taking! keep up the good work💗
this made me so emotional... thinking of sooo many creative things I gave up because my parents disapproved or things that "asian girls aren't supposed to do"... inspirational and sad at the same time
also daaamn we're old
7:40 what? Its only red velvet bad boy.. i guess no one got the reference? Makes sense with the theme.
Richard watching red velvet? Manz has good taste
Also pretty sure Phil is living out his dancing dream through this show lool
07:41 red velvet i see 👀
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT LMAO
Lol
@@kaylabuii sameeee lul
Lmaoooo. Was legit looking for this comment
Ya I was like Red Velvet!!!!!!
Seriously don’t understand why there aren’t millions of views on this already. Love this series so far, I like the points you’re making about Asian invisibility in society and people’s unwillingness to step outside of what we’re taught either by our own upbringing or society as a whole. Love your content every single episode, keep up the quality work 👏🏻
Can I just give a quick shoutout to the music in this series? So good!
Like Seriously...sooooo good
"Some day you're going to be on a Spirit and you're going to wish you had comfortable!"
Oh Andrew
I burst out laughing but it's true.
When he did that moon walk at the end. I was like “ma dude, ma DUDE”
Oh shoot mjing it out!
I just want to say watching Yappie has been PERFECT for my paper on Asian-American Representation in screen culture, thank you SO MUCH
I'm thoroughly convinced these mini-series are an excuse for Phil to dance in camera
Jon Construct tru lol
DANGGG SHIRTLESS PHIL LOLLLL
I'm so glad you guys are giving a voice to the Asian-American community - keep it up! I can't wait to see where this goes! :)
I absolutely LOOOOVE the subtitles/closed captions!! I appreciate them anyway but these ones made the watching the Yappie series hella enjoyable!! Thank you!! 💚 💚 💚
I am loving this series so far! I am also struggling with my Asian image and what it means to be an adult Asian American these days. So happy to know I'm not the only one struggling. I love you, wong fu. you've spoken directly to my heart when white America and Hollywood has failed to do so countless times.
Just be yourself and confident. To be honest I feel this is the IT time for Asian American men. Things are finally starting to swing your way and enjoy it. At least that is what I am seeing where I live.
Why do you even care how people see you?
Gan Z it's more about how I see myself. I'm just trying to figure out my identity ya know?
@ 5:28 “I don’t like dim sum” 😭😂😂 omg my heart just shattered
With all of the talk around Crazy Rich Asians I thought about Wong Fu and all they have done on RUclips all these years. Thank you for continuing to make these videow. This episode really hit home and even now I struggle with being the good asian and playing it safe. Thank you
I love this, thank you for making this series 🙌
Saw shirtless Phil in the thumbnail and I immediately clicked 😂😂😂
"Someday you're gonna be in a Spirit flight and you're gonna wish you had comfortable!"
HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA
Best line of the series already.
Was expecting not to like this series for some reason, but it's been a good watch so far. Got a 500 days of summer-esque feel to it.
Keep up the good work on the grounded/relatable series!
Great series, awesome quality and just an interesting/ different perspective to learn about
Couldnt wait & supported the work on Vimeo - to everyone watching this, it only gets better.
this is already my favorite series
Aww, I love this ep. This was really sweet! And effing relatable as hell
This series is so good, the story has exactly zero overlap with anything in my life and I keep watching :P
To all the people complaining about the apparent criticism of living it "safe," I felt the same way at first too. But after thinking about it a bit, I thought my judgment to be a bit hasty. Perhaps the message isn't about the rejection of safety per se, but about Andrew's dissatisfaction with himself which he's not willing to admit. If Andrew liked "safe" and chose the "safe" route, it would have been a non-story. But he's not actually satisfied with his comfortable life (or perhaps he refuses to thoroughly evaluate his life), and yet at the same time he cannot bring himself to change it, and so he needs people to push him in that direction. His dialogue with Lana seems to indicate as much: Andrew's being upset by her assessment reveals more of a refusal to face his own desires, rather than a choice to embrace his decisions. As it stands, I'm still hopeful that the message isn't as simple at it first appears. Only later episodes will tell...
exactly, totally agree! its important to have an open mind before such a hasty reaction to the series - a defense mechanism that is totally understandable to those who ARE enjoying the safe lifestyle. theres nothing wrong with either lifestyle. wongfu isnt trying to point out whats wrong or right. i believe theyre trying to address a certain population of asians who feel a dissatisfaction towards their secure, cushy lifestyle (something they've been lectured by their parents to attain since childhood) but want something more out of this life. maybe he needs a hobby; or maybe he needs to live an authentic life on his own terms
I see this point, but I think the way in which it is made is what makes viewers uncomfortable. The fact that Andrew’s first date and Lana seem so critical of his character makes it seem more like external influences are what’s making him self conscious, rather than an internal realization. I think if the point was to show that there is an internal dissatisfaction, it could have been done in a more subtle, less attacking way. A way that brings Andrew to be more organically introspective instead of having people straight up attack his character, for no apparent reason other than “you’re too safe and that’s bad.”
The thing is he was comfortable with being safe but there was outside influence that said other wise. In sense he was force to think it differently. Your whole theory is out the window.
This comment aged so well. Hit the nail right on the head.
Instead of constantly having people or girls in Andrew's life telling us and heavy handedly berating us that safe and yappies are bad, why not set it up as Andrew's starts to realize that he wants to pursue his other interests. I'm enjoying the series but the heavy handed approach of the girls in his life saying he is not desirable bc he is a "yappie" is quite frankly imo ridiculous
ucsdsnsd4 Haha... exactly..
"why not set it up as Andrew's starts to realize that he wants to pursue his other interests. "
but isn't that's what's happening right now? he's realizing that he has a "safe and stable life" so that means that he actually has the freedom to do his other hobbies. next thing you know, you're part of many communities. I think them saying that a "Yappie" is boring, is just showing that they're safe but boring. Maybe he'll lose the yappie label once he finds stuff that he actually enjoys. and then later, Lana tries to get back with him, but then he's like "NOPE I got a nice new girlfriend, aka that dance instructor, who likes my new life balance of hobbies"
Jenny Yao i didnt elaborate that part. But, what I meant is instead of girls rejecting him because of being "safe" there has to be another way where he can start to realize that he is not a "yappie" kind of person. IMO it's a bad message and inconsistent with acceptance because it gives the image of measuring self worth based on another person's perception of you.
ucsdsnsd4 wow... very nicely put... I kinda agree very much..
Jenny yao Haha... nicely said; that's true-- good point..
Loving the series. Soooo good!
I can’t believe I just found out this series. It is so good. I resonate a lot with this show. It is literally what I need it right now with all the personal struggles I had as Asians. I made me feel less lonely. I want season 22222!!!!
Why is Richard not locking his door? What if his grandma walked in?
ziljin trying not to like because you have 69 likes
Your valiant effort does not go unnoticed. You will be remembered!
rookie mistake
Errrrrr, let you know some Asian things, sometime, mom or grandma won’t allow kid to lock the door.. just let u know
I have Greek parents and they didn't even let me HAVE doors. LOL
i hate the fact that andrew "realizes" he doesn't like his safe life because some girls he's attracted to nag at him (who even breaks up with someone because he's too... comfortable i dunno i just can't relate), it would be better if he wanted to change for himself and not cause the girls he likes are not attracted to his lifestyle
They discuss it in some videos it's not because others aren't attracted to it but more their pointing it out helped him realize it was even happening and what it's implications were
I mean you could realize it from a lot of different ways, but oftentimes you do take the opinions of people that you have feelings for more strongly than others. It's not so much that there's something wrong with him as he feels like there is something missing and the girl is the one who led him towards this avenue of self discovery.
if it was only the first girl, it would be more believable that he was unhappy all along and she just helped him realize it or make him start thinking about it, but then his ex also points out the same things and he seems to disagree... i get the feeling that he doesn't see why it's wrong to be comfortable or safe and just lets those girls' opinions bother him into finally not being comfortable with his perfectly normal life style
Me too. But I think Phil knows that’s his shtick when they wrote in the lines during dim sum, “I guess he did sleep with Lana last night.” Lol
AyanamiRei5kyu They are attracted to him but they don’t want to commit to his lifestyle. You are right. He can get the ladies but can’t keep them around too long. They help move along his process of self discovery. Women have generally done the same for me too. Great show!
Love your video keep creating more WangFu

Wong Fu Productions Hi, ... thank you for the entertaiment... it's been a while since I've seen anything from Wonfu... but the rest of this series, I look forward to...
As a 1.5 generation Korean guy, though, I want to say something about a societal issue as how I see it, if anyone's interested...
It deals with an issue Wongfu has covered a few times but, I take it from a slightly different perspective.
Take this with a Bit of Humor, but...
... living in LA, I sometimes forget that, "Not all Asians are created equally..." --a long time quote.
When I was a kid, my parents taught me to correct people if they thought I was Chinese... because they wanted me to be aware of the different Asian groups, and their cultures...
But today in LA, there's a Problem of Bunching All Asians as one group. I say "Problem" because there's a disgusting problem going on.. regarding Asian group misrepresentation when it comes to yellow fever or white-worshipping...
A person from Thailand, with all of its wonderful culture, shouldn't be confused with someone from Japan with its own wonderful culture... just saying.
Societal problems in our community are complex and concern stuff that go beyond just..
... whether or not we're being properly represented on the BIG SCREEN, although that's important too, I guess...
I may sound like an ignorant asshole but in LA, one real issue concerns little 'southern asian ' girls with the excessive giggling (usually from: Thailand, Taiwan, or sometimes Vietnam).
They as a group are currently, in my opinion, the BIGGEST white-worshippers, for some strange reason...
And, They try to Bunch all Asian girls (Korean, Japanese, Northern Chinese, etc.) into One -- "all Asian girls group...
This becomes advertisement because we all know that These People aren't Quiet-- both vocally and unfortunately visually as well, for some strange reason again...
but, that's just my humble opinion...
Most Asian girls I know Are Not Like This, I'll add...
Although They're the Minority, it sometimes doesn't seem that way because of this reason.
I now personally say-- go for Mexican girls too; they're more down to earth and less up-in-the-air, it seems...
Plus, you don't have to try to Guess If She's Retarded... -- just kidding..
Finally, to the little South Asian girls (by my definition above), Sorry to burst your bubble but,
Please See: RUclips
"ANATOMY OF THE HUMAN BODY"
(minute 34: 08).
... if you don't have two minutes to invest right now, basically...
This normal German or British guy
(they don't say what but he's there naked for educational purposes, I guess)
really stands infront of class with the smallest, narrowest dic on the planet (erect or flaccid). END OF STORY.
Finally, I'll include this part because it sounds funny to me...
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER than repeated words or survey done by goofy, insecure, dead guys...
It's 2018, just upload your little dic up here ON RUclips for educational purposes next time, instead of trying to survey other people-- you BETA piece of shits...
Haha. --just kidding...

--please like my post if you're still here... thank you. KC.
Just want to say that this series is really, really hitting home for me. As an Asian dude who graduated high school in ‘99 and working my ass off to be a comfortable Asian, yet wondering if that’s what I really want. Thanks for the inspiration dudes.
Wong Fu Productions JUST BINGED IT ALL. WHY CAN’T THIS BE A 10 SEASONS SERIES??? Love it! Keep up the amazing content.
Wong Fu Productions This is fast becoming my favorite Wong Fu content of all time.
Why doesnt andrew get dim sum whatt food segregation
Is this an Easter egg on a new BgA comeback?
Jjfamsquad 25 yes pls hahahha
Jjfamsquad 25 😂😂😂
This episode made me laugh out loud more often than I expected! Really loving the series so far.
Reunion from I love you' isn't enough - ACCUMULATED video! nice to see you guys back again!
Omg I’ve heard so much that I’m a bad Asian because I don’t know my native tongue as well as others. Still wanna learn it. But it’s annoying because I’m never Asian enough or sometimes I’m seen as too Asian.
We just gotta be ourselves and embrace the stereotypical and non-stereotypical aspects of us. I’m sure Asians don’t fit into one mold. We are diverse and unique.
Love the episode Wongfu!!
Ryoko yep I’ve seen it haha.
There is not way too win. Either you will be too traditional or you will be too American so give up. I was at a meetup and it was a diverse group. Non Asians like myself and Asian Americans from different ethniciities. The funny thing is that Asian Americans make as many assumptions as white Americans about other Asian people. We were singing karaoke at the meetup and one of the young ladies who is of Japanese Korean descent asked one of the men who is Chinese American did he know any Chinese song and he looked her and told her I grew up in Iowa with all white people. I looked at him and said rock and roll. He said yes. Some of the stuff I've heard would be offensive if myself or another white person said it but usually it is rather funny.
Why you gotta do RV dirty like that tho 7:41
ikr that's what i thought
THATS WHAT I THOUGHT
Holy fucking same. -but he was just trynna learn how to dance lmao
Phoeveryoung ikr 😂😂
I legit thought he was watching a porno at first
This is really good stuff, the acting , the editing and everything, very professional.
I didn't think it was possible, but you guys just leveled up in your filmography and content ❤️
This series is really opening my eyes on the perspectives and challenges Asian American millennials and and gen z are facing. With the help of social media they're able to see different perspectives and paths to take rather than the safe routes the older generation of Asian Americans were "forced" to take, aka the safe route. I would question young Asian Americans not wanting to aim for a high paying job and nice cars or houses, who'd rather go for questionable, uncertain career paths. Now I realize that I'm a Yappie ignorant to the fact that I wasn't given a chance or choice to find a cultural identity; I was raised to pursue the "American Dream" and have a nice job, car, house, and family and hadn't taken into account that I never had a choice in the matter. Although I'm thankful for the path I was raised to take and really enjoy my life, I now see how lucky, yet challenging, the younger generation of Asian Americans have it and wish them all the best in the choices that make them happy.
Well said!!
There is nothing wrong with having a career. But donʻt just do that only. Go out into your community, however you define that and get involved, define and find your own passion. Donʻt just drift in life.
Here for shirtless Phil.

*THIS IS SO GOOD OMG*
Another great episode! Loving this series!
I’m really enjoying this series. Thanks you for the hard work you give
I really feel this series is really well thought out and touches on social perceptions and stereotypes. Really enjoyed it !
What exactly are these women doing to be "not safe"? There are people struggling around the world in poverty whose goal is to attain that level of safety. Idk, looking down on safety just seems like an affectation, nothing more. And their solution is invariably something art related.
I'm guessing she's also maybe "safe" but also living her life? I feel like it's not just the financial part as it's more about it led to a life with not many hobbies, where the most fitting adjective is "safe", not "funny and adventurous" or something like that.
right?? "you're just too comfortable"....says the chick who went back to sleep with her ex
First world problem.
It's their choice. I don't think Andrew needs to change.
LMAOOOO HE WAS LISTENING TO BAD BOY BY RED VELVET! I’M LIVING 🤣🤣🤣🤣
4:48 “Someday you’re gonna be on a Spirit flight and WISH you had comfortable” HSHDKKDD
The subtitles are hilarious to read, but what a good episode
0:52 Hi 👋🏻 Josh
Perfect timing-I opened up RUclips to accompany my dinner and got the notification for this
I loved this episode so much!
I keep coming back and re watching this whole series! I can’t wait for season 2! 😭🔥
Not super sure what to feel about the message I'm getting from the series thus far. I like it, it's a well made show, no doubt. But I feel like living a "safe" and "comfortable" life, essentially chasing the nuclear family ideal, is being cast in a negative light here. I dunno, I feel like that's a mentally that comes from a place of privilege. As someone who didn't grow up in financially stable conditions, I don't personally see anything wrong with that, so just the way certain characters speak bothers me on a weirdly personal level haha. Though I do like the spin of chasing your dreams rather than being pushed into something you don't want to do.
Siorus thx for your thoughtful comment. It’s definitely something we hope to address in later episodes!
I think it's more like, in the past, Asians have always been known for playing it safe. Like study hard and become a doctor/engineer/lawyer/pharmacist/etc. Make friends with the goody two-shoe white kids. Don't listen to "black people" music. Asian kids used to never be encouraged to do anything artsy/creative because it wasn't a "respectable" career.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with being "comfortable". I mean, people would kill for financial stability lol It's more addressing the kind of Asians that grew up feeling like they had no other choice but to do whatever their parents wanted, without even considering what they wanted. Like they never even thought about what they would like to do - they just did everything to please their parents, and their only life goal was to make their parents proud without ever questioning anything.
I think as a non Asian person who is well off. I’ve actually been finding a lot to relate too. 6 figures and being comfortable was always the life I wanted to attain, and now, everything seems so plain and boring. I’m really excited to see how this all plays out
I'm Hispanic, so I admit I can't relate to the perspective being given here, but it's just one of those things that sits oddly with me. I just feel that the way certain characters speaking about being "safe and comfortable" comes from a place of financial privilege that in my youth I would have given anything to have. I'm not just talking about financially unstable but straight up "we lived below the poverty line 10 months out of every year". I don't wanna judge the series just yet because it's an incomplete narrative right now but just based on the first two episodes, there's this sense of "yeah that kinda sucks to hear" when a lot of characters speak and honestly kinda makes me feel bad. (which I know isn't the intent, so that's more this series hitting me personally)
I don't think chasing your dreams and living a comfortable life are mutually exclusive, often times the latter makes the former an easier risk to take. I guess it's just the disdain I hear in what many of the characters say. I could also just be 100% projecting here haha I've been a fan of Wong Fu since 2005 or so and I totally trust them to at least have the message make sense within its own narrative, even if it's not something I completely see eye to eye with.
I definitely agree.Who doesn’t want to have a stable career? You know how many homeless people or people who are looking for jobs and are desperate to take your job? This video is representing Asians as so spoiled to think a stable life is not the route that you should choose. You would rather be stable than end up with something unstable which then leads you to have a financial burden.
wow i feel like it gets better as each episode goes on!
You make it sound like you're watching the whole series.. this is literally the second episode lmao.
But can't lie, it IS good.
PR1NCETD0T lmao i did watch the whole series already
You can binge all of season 1 by clicking on the link provided and paying roughly the cost of going to a movie
Jenifer Zheng haha i know but since im too cheap to pay the series i'd rather wait every wednesday so i at least have something to look forward to. 😂
LOVE LOVE LOVE the show Wong Fu! Y'all are amazing! Thanks for bringing awareness to these issues and starting conversations!!!! Can't wait for more episodes and more seasons!!
BTW, where did Andrew get the upside down LA hat!? I need it! :)
Wong Fu productions. I love your work so much. I want it to encompass the globe and be so popular that no one can deny it. You guys are so intelligent, empathetic, compassionate, creative and brilliant! I just love your videos and short films. You guys are amazing.
Oh my gawd! When he was trying to talk to his grandma it was the cutest thing ever. ❤ Basically me with my abuelita too. Lol
7:41 Red Velvet - Bad boy haha 😂
Richard has great taste.
Great production!! I actually watched the whole thing!!
Okay, so I got into Wong Fu like a good 3 yrs. ago and I was very consistent with their content but so many things have been happening during those years and recently, that I haven't watched them in a while and this series popped up on my feed and it's currently 2 in the morning I am watching it and during the scenes where Phil is dancing I was literally listening to the music and remembered when I was 3 years younger and watching them and wondering how life was/is going to be like and knowing what has happened to me now I'm like holy crap I could have lost hope any of those times that I was going through something but because of all the RUclipsrs that I watch they really do put more motivation into me then anyone else I'm close to, really, so I just want to say thank you so much Wong Fu Productions for being there whenever I thought nobody was. ❤
