Awkward Moments Only Asians Understand

  • 0:00 - 0:01
    Cheese.
  • 0:01 - 0:04
    Oh, my god. You guys are so Asian right now.
  • 0:04 - 0:06
    I'm gonna be Asian too.
  • 0:09 - 0:11
    So, where are you from?
  • 0:11 - 0:11
    I'm from Texas.
  • 0:11 - 0:13
    No, I mean, like, where are your parents from?
  • 0:13 - 0:15
    You know, you're pretty tall for an Asian.
  • 0:15 - 0:16
    Oh, they're from Korea.
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    Where are your parents from?
  • 0:18 - 0:18
    Uh, Michigan.
  • 0:18 - 0:20
    No, where are your parents' ancestors from?
  • 0:20 - 0:23
    Uh, I don't know, like, Europe?
  • 0:23 - 0:25
    I just wanted to introduce you to Eugene over here.
  • 0:25 - 0:27
    Eugene, say hi to Stacy.
  • 0:27 - 0:27
    Hi, Stacy.
  • 0:27 - 0:30
    Yeah, well, Stacy's really into Asian guys,
  • 0:30 - 0:32
    so I figured it'd be a nice ... uh, you know?
  • 0:32 - 0:34
    It is so nice to finally meet your girlfriend.
  • 0:34 - 0:35
    Yeah, so, me and my friend were at 99 Ranch,
  • 0:35 - 0:36
    and we saw --
  • 0:36 - 0:37
    What's 99 Ranch?
  • 0:37 - 0:39
    Actually, I'm his sister.
  • 0:39 - 0:41
    Yeah, this is my girlfriend.
  • 0:41 - 0:42
    You don't know what 99 Ranch is?
  • 0:42 - 0:44
    Oh, it's that new bar, right?
  • 0:44 - 0:47
    Oh, such a banana. So, anyways, yeah, so we were...
  • 0:47 - 0:48
    [Speaking Chinese]
  • 0:48 - 0:52
    Um, I, I don't speak Mandarin.
  • 0:52 - 0:53
    Do you, do you think you could --
  • 0:53 - 0:54
    No, sorry.
  • 0:54 - 0:55
    So you're Chinese.
  • 0:55 - 0:56
    Taiwanese, actually.
  • 0:56 - 0:57
    You speak Cantonese.
  • 0:57 - 0:58
    Mandarin.
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    You know, my cousin's wife is Oriental.
  • 1:00 - 1:02
    Ah, so she's a rug.
  • 1:02 - 1:03
    Are you North or South Korean?
  • 1:03 - 1:05
    South.
  • 1:05 - 1:06
    How can you tell?
  • 1:06 - 1:09
    It's because I'm not trapped in North Korea.
  • 1:09 - 1:09
    No, she's from the Orient.
  • 1:09 - 1:10
    The Orient?
  • 1:10 - 1:11
    Yeah.
  • 1:11 - 1:12
    Ah, so we're in the 1950s right now.
  • 1:12 - 1:13
    I'd be the Red Ranger for sure.
  • 1:13 - 1:14
    I'd be the Blue Ranger.
  • 1:14 - 1:15
    You're the Yellow Ranger.
  • 1:15 - 1:17
    How do I change this setting?
  • 1:17 - 1:18
    Are you serious?
  • 1:18 - 1:20
    Yeah, I just got this phone.
  • 1:20 - 1:21
    You're like a bad Asian.
  • 1:21 - 1:25
    So my mom was like, "Uh, Eugene-a, a-why are you so skinny?"
  • 1:25 - 1:27
    You can say that? It feels, like, a little bit racist.
  • 1:27 - 1:28
    I mean, it's --
  • 1:28 - 1:30
    Were your parents upset that you wanted to go into entertainment?
  • 1:30 - 1:32
    [Scoffs] Of course, because I'm Asian, you think
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    my parents want me to be a doctor, or a lawyer, or engineer.
  • 1:34 - 1:36
    Okay, that's like a little racist, but it's cool.
  • 1:36 - 1:37
    So she was like, "Oh, Eugene-a."
  • 1:37 - 1:38
    No, no, you can't do it, though.
  • 1:38 - 1:39
    Oh, okay. Fair.
  • 1:39 - 1:40
    Oh, I wasn't trying to be offensive.
  • 1:40 - 1:42
    It's good that they're cool with it, though.
  • 1:42 - 1:43
    Nah, they wanted me to be a doctor.
  • 1:43 - 1:45
    Take a selfie with me.
  • 1:45 - 1:47
    Yeah, mom, that was my new girlfriend.
  • 1:47 - 1:48
    No, she's not Korean.
  • 1:48 - 1:51
    So glad I have minority friends. All my pictures are with white people.
  • 1:51 - 1:55
    Uh, you know, technically, Asians are the majority.
  • 1:55 - 1:57
    There are literally billions of us in the world.
  • 1:57 - 2:00
    Oh. Okay. Smile!
  • 2:00 - 2:02
    Oh, my god, I love that new HBO show.
  • 2:02 - 2:04
    It's so diverse.
  • 2:04 - 2:06
    Yeah ... There are no Asians on it.
  • 2:06 - 2:08
    Hey, Eugene, what's 28 times 72?
  • 2:08 - 2:10
    Yeah, but there are two black people.
  • 2:10 - 2:12
    And an Asian receptionist.
  • 2:12 - 2:13
    I don't know, it's like 1500?
  • 2:13 - 2:14
    Okay, thanks.
  • 2:15 - 2:17
    Are we all in the frame?
  • 2:17 - 2:18
    Yeah, you're all in. You're all in.
  • 2:18 - 2:19
    I just had this thought.
  • 2:19 - 2:21
    Like, if we had a baby together, it would be the most
  • 2:21 - 2:24
    beautiful half-Asian baby in the entire world. Right?
  • 2:24 - 2:26
    Yes, definitely.
  • 2:26 - 2:27
    ... totally be half-Asian.
  • 2:27 - 2:29
    Dude, in general, half-Asian people are the most beautiful.
  • 2:29 - 2:31
    Oh, my god, I had the best "phoh" last night.
  • 2:31 - 2:32
    You mean "phuh".
  • 2:32 - 2:33
    Yeah, "phoh".
  • 2:33 - 2:36
    Hey, Eugene, I saw your "awkward moments only Asians understand" video.
  • 2:36 - 2:39
    As an Indian, where was the rest of Asia?
  • 2:39 - 2:42
    I went with my girlfriend Tammy Nuh-goo-yen.
  • 2:42 - 2:42
    Do you know her?
  • 2:42 - 2:44
    Nguyen? ("Wen")
  • 2:44 - 2:45
    I don't know. I think probably around 8:00.
  • 2:45 - 2:47
    So you might want to think about that next
  • 2:47 - 2:49
    time you label something Asian.
  • 2:49 - 2:51
    Ugh, it's awkward.
  • 2:51 - 2:52
    Is that your brother?
  • 2:52 - 2:52
    What?
  • 2:52 - 2:53
    It's on on you.
  • 2:53 - 2:54
    It's on on your cow.
  • 2:54 - 2:56
    Down, Bessie.
  • 2:56 - 2:57
    I am the great stone dragon!
  • 2:57 - 2:59
    Okay, let's go get [inaudible].
  • 2:59 - 3:00
    I'm the great stone dragon!
  • 3:00 - 3:01
    Yep. You are.
