"You doctor yet?" "No, dad, I'm 12." "Talk to me when you doctor!"

my dad once told me that my face was 'democratic'. that all the parts, eyes nose etc were very 'freely' placed. yes. i have asian parents.

I worked with a hilariously blunt Chinese lady. One day I'd gone a bit too heavy with the black eyeliner. She just stared at me & said: "What happened to your eyes?? You look like pirate!" 😂

We know that comedy comes out of pain. It’s no wonder so many comedians do jokes about their families. And it’s all relatable.

I love the way he says “Jimmya” in his parents voices

I looked up his dad and holy shit, he wasn't kidding. His dad has been in like 8 TV shows since 2013

"Aiyooo what happened to your face you used to be pretty" - first thing my mom said after I come back from college 😂😭

I was once stopped in a checkpoint with my Japanese grandma in the backseat. With the back window open she said to the officer: "I dare you can catch a robber with your big belly". He laughed and dismissed us.

I love when he acted out how his dad walks with his hand behind his lower back like that lol

so true. first thing that my mum said after she hasn't seen me over 10yrs whilst I was in another country was "U got so many pimples in your face"😢😢😢

Many years ago our neighbors across the street brought their elderly parents from China to visit. They were very quiet and walked together daily. They wore simple dark colored clothing, much like a uniform. If I saw them I would wave and say hello. They politely nodded. One day I started work on a garden project to create a circle of plantings around our front tree. I was swinging my pick and making headway when I noticed the elderly gentleman watching me through his front window, then his front porch, then he was walking towards me. He nodded and took the pick out of my hands and proceeded to swing away! Try as I may, he would not give me back my tool! He was happy and smiling and having a great time. I just watched. He dug out my entire circular bed, through massive tree roots, in record time. The look of exhilaration on his face as he handed me back the pick was priceless! Before going back across the street he taught me to say hello. After that, we both waved and always exchanged hearty ni hao’s!

"Asian parents, they're way too honest, so every pep talk just sounds like an insult." OMG SO TRUE. Bless my mom, she really tries, she thinks she's being supportive but telling me I just need to rank the best I can because my best isn't that good really isn't the pep talk I needed.

Honestly, younger Asian people tend to be most polite people you’ll ever meet, and older Asian people tend to be the most rude people you’ll ever meet. I think they get to a certain age and just can’t hold it in any more and it all comes out.

For several years I worked in a music store owned by an older Asian woman. She was BRUTAL with her bluntness and honesty with the staff…and I loved it. It was hilarious. She never meant any of it to be cruel, she just thought it was the best way to communicate and she knew what and how she wanted things done. Our turn over rate with employees was so high though because they were mostly young white music nerds who didn’t know how to take it. During cold/flu season right before the holidays she would buy everyone a giant Costco pack of vitamin C drink mix and demand we drink it every day so we didn’t get sick during the busy season. She would personally ask us all every day if we had drunk it. If we said no she would make us one right there and watch us drink it. To her credit, I didn’t get sick. 😂

I really admire him for being thick skinned enough to look back and make fun of Asian parenting. But actually living through it in real life was a nightmare for me.

I’m a Japanese and my mom is exact same kind of person like Jimmy’s mother. I’ve been having a hard time about the relationship with her, but he just told me how to. I just need laugh at it!!! Just assume they are from different generation. Thank you Jimmy!

My Japanese grandma said I would never marry cause I can't peel a potato. Told her I was already married. Her response? That's why you're divorced, you can't peel a potato correctly. Thanks grandma.

I've had the opposite asian parents, as both my mom and dad were dropouts. they always told me it was okay to drop out, so rebelled against them by going to grad school.🤓

He's a good storyteller. The "I almost died" line got me.

I can’t get enough of Jimmy’s mom, -“ur clothes look homeless!” 🤪🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀⚰️

Even when you are rich, beautiful, wonderfuly married, have a good son and daughter, if you're an Asian, your parents will say: "yeaah, but she can't cook"

I love how these comments are like group therapy for kids of Asian parents. I remember doing my final wedding dress fitting (AKA my dream dress) and it fit perfectly. My mom and aunties were there. My mom busts out “that dress is pretty but you could lose 10 lbs” and all the aunties nodded in agreement. That one took a year of therapy to undo… 💕 Jimmy Yang for bringing some laughter to the pain 🙏🏽

😂 relatable! My mom in Thailand who didn’t see me a year or so, each trip home, the first thing came out of her mouth was “you got fat”. 😅😂 All I could say “I love and miss you too mum” 😂❤

This guy is great. Very cool demeanor. Even if im not laughing out loud every minute, it’s very enjoyable and entertaining. Good story teller

My Mexican mom does this as well..."Your face is really ugly when you don't get enough sleep" I haven't gotten enough sleep since I can remember.

I'm not Asian, but this bit is so true. One of my aunts is Korean. Whenever I see her she asks if I have a boyfriend. If yes then it's "that's because you American, democracy so even the girls with bad hair and big legs can get boyfriend." thanks. If no then "oh a pretty girl like you should have boyfriend. Straighten your hair and learn how wear makeup then you get boyfriend.". Again, thanks.

Can we all appreciate the fact that Jimmy never disappointed us with his content. ❤👏👏

My husband is Chinese raised in NY by his China born father. This is so hilarious and spot on. We fought for 18 years about how he was too harsh in raising our son. Lol.

Love this guy, he’s so relatable! My grandmother is from Okinawa, I’ve had the honorable displeasure of living through a lot of his stand up material.

Just love that slowly walking away with the hand behind his back :D

"do you know how to cry?" "yes, I just think about how much you suck at ping pong" I literally rofled at that.

My parents passed more than a decade ago but the violent flashback at that first, "o-yo" had me abort a scream into the whistle range😂😂😂 pretty sure the neighbor's dog is traumatized for life now.

Jimmy's dad actually has a cameo on the Netflix show "Space Force" in which Jimmy has a role. His dad's scene is of him talking with John Malkovich!

Jimmy is sooo funny! I laugh until I cry listening to him!!! My bff's mom was Filipino and she was brutally honest all the time, lol. ☺☺☺ I miss her dearly, you always knew where you stood w/ her❤❤❤

I had a roommate that would get stressed out every time my Chinese mom would call. She made him feel deficient. 😂

“Did your son teach you how to act?” “Nono, I’m a natural.” OMFG BRUH THIS GETS ME SO BADLY

His mom calling his hair gay had me laughing for about 5 minutes straight 😆

Love how relaxed and open he is on stage

This guy is hilarious. A natural comedian.

My wife is Thai. Her grandmother said...." You look much more handsome with your hat on".....I'm bald !!!!!

I actually looked that "kumon learning centers" to know what they are and the face in the logo really is a pokerface HAHAHAHA

His dad really lives up to "it's not about the money, it's about the message."

This man is fucking HYSTERICAL!!

My asian aunt once told me “look at all the fat on your back” when i was standing in front of the kitchen sink washing my hands.

That mom *oh yo* is on point. My mom face shame me more than all the bully I meet in my life

I think it is a blessing to get an honest answer when you ask.

We went to some Chinese friends house for drinks at New Year's and one guest was really annoying everyone and the wife says to him "you go now" 😁 now we always say it as a joke to each other 😁

I could listen to this guy tell stories about his parents all day and all night. 🤣

He’s hilarious 😂😂 my parents being 1st Gen immigrants were always frugal, but recent few years my dad’s investments done very well so in his words, he’s “DECENT” now. I suggested for him to check out Whole Foods, an hour later he returned with NOTHING purchased 😂 “you didn’t tell me what a rip off this place was”. Oh man, u gotta love/hate old asian people lol.

Its hilarious how he imitates the way his dad walks because that's exactly how my dad use to walk 🤣

Jimmy O. Is so adorable! 🤣

“Even tho you slow. Even tho you weak. Even tho you suck.” Same bro. Same.

2 : 06 that "Oh-Yo" sound is sooo true 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣. They say that in frustration 🤣🤣😂😂😂

Asian parents are the best. Though their parenting method seems to be tough and rough, they prepare us to face even the hardest problem when we grow up. They work hard and give us a lot of advice that build strength ❤❤

I’m loving this story!

You won't see me in Whole Foods either. I might not be Asian but I'm not stupid. 🤣

I never knew where Jimmy’s mom comes from. But just by knowing his mom says “oh yo” to him, I instantly know his mom is a Shanghainess😂😂😂

He be true on the part "when they pep talk it becomes an insult" LMAO

Loved it, this guy's awesome!

My Grandma would flat out say I was fat as a kid. I became self conscious and tried to diet. She'd get offended when I didn't eat much, and would stare intently when I did eat. When I asked why she kept staring, she said it made her happy watching family eat and enjoy her cooking - then would make me eat more! And still call me fat! 😭 Yes... my Grandma was Asian...

Love, love this show. Jimmy is so spot on! I have Asian parents and since we were kids, my Mom would always tell us we were fat and needed to eat less rice. And if her friends complimented you, then she would always minimize it (Asians pretending to be humble) and say “oh, she’s not that pretty) lol….. The older Dad walking always with his hands behind his back is so my Dad!!! Hahaha

Thankyou for making me laugh & to look at things from a different angle. Very much appreciated 🙂

I love your smile it really lights up your face❤😂

My mom still totally does that. She doesn’t give a shit where we are, who is around, what we are doing, she will tell me i look homeless and to go wash my ass then laugh at me in my face. It’s great. My mom’s gangster.

I friggin LOVE his mom impersonations man!! 😎🥸🤩 “Jimmy-ya! You clothes rooka rike homeressa!”

No parents do better roasts of their children than Asian parents. It’s hilarious for jokes, but traumatic.

That final joke was surprisingly funny, lol!

OMG.... this made me laugh so hard! The part of the bit about 'older Asian ladies'. I dated an Asian girl in HS decades ago (oh so many decades) and her grandmother was BRUTAL, and my girlfriend, her brother, and her parents seemed somewhat embarrassed, but I loved it. She was awesome.

I went to a Chinese wedding once and the two family sides were just arguing at each other from across the hall the whole night lol.

I recently visited my in law's place and the first thing my mom in law told my wife was "wah, are you pregnant or are you getting fatter?" I laughed so hard.

We need to see more of him!

love his humility and SINGING PITCH!

I was in a local fabric store last week. The owner, a lovely Chinese gentleman has had his jam packed little shop for years. I asked for 5 meters of tape from a roll on the shelf. No! Buy the one outside on the table much better deal to buy the whole spool for$10. Much better deal. I thought of Jimmy's parents in that moment and waited till I left the shop with my giant spool of tape. Tape that was a good deal. Oh Jimmy

He's SO funny! I love Jimmy O Yang.

I discovered this guy via TikTok fairly recently, and I am so glad that I did! I love his jokes!

I admire his talent that he could turn these Asian styles to funny jokes and made them popular in a good way. Personally, I hate my parents and relatives treating me this way and always wanted to shut myself from any gatherings.

Ten minutes of jimmy in only 7:57 seconds lol

This is triggering my PTSD. I grew up with this kind of criticism and tbh it’s very hard to hear as a 11 years old girl. Ofc it’s funny to hear when someone shares it but reminding yourself that this happened to you is sad. For instance, he says that old Asian women tells you what’s wrong with your face. Well this happened several times. 1) when I was little, my mom’s friends told me that I was dirty and that she had to burn my skin of because I had freckles (it’s bad to have freckles in Asia) 2) another time, I was at the dentist a random woman came up to me that I was filthy because of my freckles 3) I went to buy ice cream. The ice cream woman complimented me and tells me, face on, « you could be even prettier and compete for an award if you get rid of your freckles ». Like WTF I DON’T KNOW YOU 😂 BUT OK 😂😂😂 THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK 4) lastly, I eat with my parents. I was starving because I was on my period. I serve myself a second time. My mom gave me a side eye and tells me « haven’t you eaten enough? ». Then tells her friends in front of my face « see how big her stomach is? ». Good luck telling your Asian parents that these kind of actions and words are very disruptive and worsen your mental health 😂 heck I’m seeing a psychologist who tells me that my mom is toxic AF. When I told my dad about it and when I tried to make my mom understand that she needs to be less blunt, I get shout at saying that I need to change doctors, that I should go on Xanax and stop looking at my problems only… Yes this is their way of showing love and showing that they care for us. But it’s toxic af and we can’t keep on making excuses for them and keep on taking the hits. I admire those who can stand this and not be affected by Asian parents words and actions because I can’t. I have panick attacks every time I have to come back to Asia to see them.

He has he laughing out loud soooo much!!! He's great!!!

Love when he says jimmya in he’s parents voice shit kills me every time so hilarious 😂 💀💯

My dad had a super strong accent. And he would get all the American sayings wrong. One day we were watching TV , and Ricky Martin was on the tube. This was before he came out. My dad immediately says why doesn’t he just come out the window? We all can see he’s gay. I tried to explain that it’s coming out of the closet. He just said the same thing. It was hilarious!!! So, I just let it ride.

I worked with an asian girl. The whole "they'll tell you what's wrong with your face, to your face" is 1000% true. It was always funny when she'd compliment me then immediately backhand me with an insult 😂😂

This man is truly talented.

As an Asian mom and having my own Asian mom....I can confirm that this is accurate! 🤣

5 seconds in and I'm already laughing, it's immediately visible that the guy's got intelligence as well as humour

The one part where he said ”it’s like Fortnite but with ping pong paddles” got me rolling on the floor.😂That’s so true.

Love it. Awesome! ❤

I need his dad's level of confidence! 💔🤣

I watch this skit every time I see it, I could probably say the whole thing by myself as I have watched it so many times.

Man he emulates my dad down to the folded arm behind the back, though he forgot the playful but kick

1 minute 15 seconds in had me dying 💀😂 The ending absolute killed me though.

What a beautiful smile!!!!

This guy is hilarious and adorable!!!

BROTHER, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! You oooh really helped me!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

So true about Whole Foods🤣🤣🤣

"you must really like math.. Very good" 😭🤣

3:39 That’s so true I have actually never seen an old Asian at wholes food but a lot at Costco 😂 how is this so accurate

Lol!! I really needed that laugh today!!! Thanks 🙏☯️🙏

This guy is great

Love when he says jimmya in he’s parents voice shit kills me every time so hilarious 😂
