"Do you see any clowns in this family?" LOLOLOL

I'm a nurse , This is 100% real

As HYSTERICAL as this is, there's a bit of sadness that comes along with it. I'm a writer working on my first novel, but I get compared to my nurse cousins ALL.THE.TIME. Until I get published, there's a certain amount of failure I feel, (from my DOCTOR father) and will continue to feel like a disappointment until then. I know he loves me with all his heart, and only wants the best for me, but this is how it is in Filipino families. I hope to make him proud (MY WAY, DOING MY THING) one day. But Jo Koy, thanks for bringing humor into a really depressing theme in Filipino culture!

the jabba moves were legit!

imagine being filipino and playing this video out loud in front of your entire filipino family

"Elebate the peet"

So pucking punny josep

all my filipino friends are nurses and my mom wanted me to be one too, i am glad i followed my own dream to become a jabbawockee..... lmfao

In my family. Mom: Nurse Dad: Engineer Sister: Architect Me: Want to be an architect. Mom: Architect is already taken you can be the Doctor.

OMG! That's true. Some of my Filipino friends told the same thing. About how there parents wanted them to be a nurse.

I've graduated with an Event Management degree, currently working in the industry too... my mom still pushes from time to time, "why don't you just become a nurse? it's better money, benefits."

Told my parents i wanted to be a paleontologist since i loved watching jurassic park when i was little. Mom told me there are only dog bones left to dig.

The fact that most members of Jabba are Filipinos 😂, so glad they followed their dream.

His Filipino accent is so on point especially for those who migrated a little older already

i told my mom i wanna be a soldier. then she said you wanna die early?

I had that EXACT conversation with my mom. I wanted to be a singer or wedding dress designer. She SHOT IT DOWWNN I wish he included the classic line " [instert dream here] is just a hobby, just do it on the side. Be a nurse." I understand why Filipino moms from back home do it though. Its cause nursing is a stable job and people back home look up to those in the health care industry. It's a job that they know will adequately support their kids and keep them stable eve after they pass on. I'm proud to be a nurse now and 100% appreciate my mom... but nursing wasn't my dream.

Mom wanted me to be a doctor. She even accompanied me to the college of Medicine at the University of the Philippines in Manila much to my chagrin. Good thing it was a quota course, where you had to pass a certain level of grade in the entrance exam, which meant I failed big time leaving me free to chose a career in advertising instead. :D

FACT- JOKOY WAS A FORMER JABAWOKEEZ DANCER! No wonder he still has the moves!

This is the funniest skit ever. I'm a nurse, not Filipino, but I can totally see it working with so many amazing ones. They are the smartest, no nonsense, most skilled nurses. Jo, you got it on lock man.

Him not stepping on the microphone cord is uh...mazing!!! It’s a skill!

Can we take a moment to appreciate his Jabbawockee moves?

This sh*t hit home for me. I have a nursing degree from one of the top nursing schools in the Philippines because my mom told me to take nursing. My aunts and cousins are also nurses, and I did not have the heart to say no to my mom. While in college I got into breaking/bboying and the jbwkz were pretty hot back then so of course I memorized their routines and I was even known in my school for my dancing. Fast forward to a few years later, I graduated and passed the board and became a registered nurse but I had already decided not to pursue it and whenever I go to family events that would always come up and it's a nightmare but I got used to it. Some of my then classmates are now in other countries working as nurses and some even are now doctors. As for me, I now work as a supervisor for an IT/Consulting company and still continue to pursue my other passions everyday.

As a filipina, I can say that this is accurate. My parents always pushed me to become a doctor. Since I was 10. I wanted to become an artist but now I am on my first year in medicine. 😭

What's amazing is his jokes coming from his actual life experiences and making it humourous for the crowd.

I was lucky enough to be taken care by philipino nurses. They treated me as a family member when I was at the hospital for a brain tumor removal surgery. I was hospitalized from December 2018 to July 2019. And most of the time my nurses were Philippino or Philippino American. All of them were great. Not one was a bad nurse. Thank God for Philippino nurses.

My wife is a nurse, My dad is a Doctor, My mom is a nurse, my auntie and cousins are nurses. And I am a nurse. But my dream was to be a singer or dancer just like you Joseph. 😂

found this guys video by accident and glad i did.....he is soooooo funny 😅😅

This is my mom!! What are aspirations? You want to be a teacher? What? No. Nurse, Lawyer, or Engineer, pick one

So we're just going to pretend he didn't pull of those sweet dance moves

I saw him in Seattle and seeing him again in February! Can’t wait 😎😎

I’m a nurse and I showed this to my Filipino coworkers, apparently it’s super relatable 😂

the accent is killin me. GoodJob

Yes....my mom wanted me to be a nurse too. I made it as far as an EMT lol.

This is 100% one of my favorite bits!! I could watch it over & over it never gets old! 💙🤣🤣

My sister was doing her Fellowship at University of Arizona's Cardiac Surgery Center. She was with a fellow doctor and he had a page from the ICU and a Filipino nurse was telling him the status of a patient who was taking a down turn. The physician said he couldn't understand what the Nurse was trying to tell him. He told my sister, she keeps saying "chicken and bread, chicken and bread! I told her I'm not hungry!" My sister said, 'let me talk to her." Sis then told the doctor the nurse was saying "she cannot breath." They rushed up to ICU to check on their patient. My sister and I are twins and we're half Filipino and our Mom is FilAm born in Stockton Caifornia in the late 1940s. From 9 years old until we went to college, our Lola (grandmother) lived and helped raise us and that thick Filipino accent Lola had, we heard growing up saved that woman in the ICU. Hahahahaha!

My Nurse is Filipina. She called me and told me my cholesterol was high. Damn I thought I was in trouble and my cholesterol got scared and went down on its own. It’s a miracle no lie 😜😭🤣

The jabbawockeez part is sooo hilarious! 🤣

JoKoy, i love your filipino nurse accent!😂 I had the same experience parents-predetermined to be RN. Went a different path and followed my own dream.✌

Damn, Jo Koy is just beaming with talent. He can dance, sing while cracking a joke. He's comic lines are original and so hysterically funny.

Who wants to bet that sometime in the (hopefully) distant future, there will be a 'where are they now?' video, and there will be Jo, a night nurse in some hospital somewhere. Filipino moms don't lose, josep.

*Omg Jo is so awesome! I freaked when he hit those moves!*

This is 100% real, a lot of my cousins and aunties are nurses. 😂

My dear fellow Filipinos, please don't lie. Some of you definitely showed this vid to your moms.

I have no regrets of being an RN. As the matter of fact, its the best advice that i have received from my parents. I managed to use my RN salary to acquire two nursing homes in Las Vegas. I dont follow dreams... i make my own. I have learned to love the career that helped me BUILD my dreams.

Hilarious! I was tearing up watching this! This is very true! We fall into our Mom's aspirations for, but they do know what's best for us most of the time! More power Jo Koy, I am now hooked to your channel!

dude that glide was freaking smooth, awesome stuff as always from jo koy

*DO YOU SEE ANY CLOWNS IN THIS FAMILY, DO YOU?!*

Oh Joseph if you had followed your mom's dream than we can never listen to your mom's stories 😅 Thank you for following your dream and entertaining us ❤️

This was a great set. I actually feel bad for most Filipino nurses. If nursing is your passion and what YOU believe in then fantastic. But for 95% of Filipino nurses they chose that profession to get a gold star from their mommy and daddy like a 5 year old.

293 dislikes were from Filipino moms who are nurses....

i love jo koy makes me laugh out LOUD

Jo Koy, you're so helpful in times like this - covid lockdown.:) laughter is the best preventative medicine

Not gonna lie he pulled that jabbawockee move smooth 😂

I went to the hospital tonight and when they took me to the back where all the nurses are...yes, you guessed it. They were ALL filipino! All I thought about was Jo Koy and this part. I couldn’t help but laugh

Jo Koy you are the MAN!! I've been listening to your comedy since ting ting. Your my fav comedian, pinoy comedy at its best. I'd give my lung to meet you and your son!!

I've seen this before and it still cracks me up! Every time!

Any other FIlipinos out there currently jobless and regret not becoming a nurse? Or is it just me lol

He actually dances so good! 😲

You are an amazing influencer, you inspire people to keep achieving their dreams.

I came from a family of doctors. My relatives have been pushing me to pursue Medicine as well, but fortunately, my mother never pressured me or dictated which path I should carry on. And I always felt conflicted because the idea of being able to say that "oh, we're all doctors in the family" seems really nice and very honouring. Also, I wanted them to be proud of me. The pressure doubled when our eldest cousin topped the Nursing Board Exams (Nursing was her Pre-med course) and went to Med School with a scholarship. On our generation, all of them are going to be doctors (a couple of my cousins are now in Med School) except for me and my siblings. I'm going to pursue business, my brother currently pursues Marine Transportation (he's now in Maritime School), and our youngest sister has not yet decided.

i absolutely LOVE his impersonation of his mom lmao too funny !!

that jabbowockee moves are legit. 😂😂

You're the best kapatid. Ikaw ang ligayang pinapakinggan ng lahat. Mabuhay ka. From Filipinos here in Montreal Canada.

this is one of his funniest by far so on point!

"Who told you that you are funny" #funny :)

Hilarious 🤣. Jo Koy, watching you I say, I'm proud to be a Filipino! ❤️

One of the funniest comedians out there!!

Thank y'all so much dearest 🌹 Y'all such an inspiration 🥰 Appreciate y'all from the bottom of my heart 💖 Be Blissful Eternally 🙏👼🌈

*I showed this to my mom and she said, "ip you want to tell me someting just paking say it"*

hey man. thanks for pulling me out of some of my darkest days. you're hilarious

Hahaha yes relate it’s mom who told me To be a nurse! And im happy I followed her because Im in Australia now because im a nurse :)

A big thanks to all you nurses out there and to all ofws in general ..you making life much easier for us back here..mabuhay kayo mga bro and sis.

jo kooooy! filipino here man! what's up! so proud!

I'm laughing because my moms half Filipino and she always told me to follow my dreams and whenever I tell her what I want she would say how about being a doctor?

I could never tired of this.

This guy lives the life he’s talking about. He actually lived true to himself. Boss.

Oh the accuracy

I am Filipino and this is 100 percent real that's really like my mom this man speaks the truth 😂

I've never been clapping in front of a KZfaq video, but I did it now! Jo! You're a friggin' legend!

I can watch his specials over and over. This is one of my faves. And Jo Koy Live? OMG. The man is unreal, and piss-yo-pants funny. #AguaCalienteResort&Casino 2021

Bro: Ma I want to be a professional athlete. Ma: Ma? Whattt? No you're going to be a PRIEST! So you can save us from hell! 😂😂😂

Haha! What a relief from the mountain of exam papers I have to check. The profs here in the Science Dept of UA&P laughed 'til they cried (almost!).

Hilarious!! I’ve watched this video a dozen or more times and I still laugh loudly as if it’s the first time I’ve seen it

U r AMAZING. THANK U FOR THE LAUGHT. I SO NEEDED IT. I LOVE UR VIDEOS. THERE R SO MANY I HAVENT SEEN YET. GOD BLESS U. KEEP UP THE FANTASIC WORK. UR AMAZING 💕

I love how he instinctively goes into his filipino mom voice after he says ‘you can’t have a dream’

Lol... I work with alot of Filipinos and this is absolutely true.. I cried laughing.. And with the dancing, I definitely see the younger Filipino nurses do that

One of your best segment.

That is totally true... even your Filipino aunties will pre-determine your future career. They hated me so much because I didn't listen to them... Now I am stable with my job as a scientist.

My dad wanted to break the cycle so he convinced my mom that I would look handsome in a navy uniform. So she made me join the Navy. One yoke for another lol

Hahaha! yes josep! it was their dream for me (my grandma, my aunts & my momma). I took MassCom instead.

This bit has been forwarded on my FB wall multiple times coz I was in the Nursing Dance Troupe in college. Now I'm here in the US I only showcase my dancing moves every xmas party lol! I remember the first one I did was "Apologize" routine done by The Jabbawockeez from the show America's Best Dance Crew. After I saw this joke by Jokoy I was so shocked how everything he said was true! #facts 🤩🤣😎

My friend, who is a pediatrician in LA, told me this is exactly true. Both of his parents are also doctors!

“Do you see any clowns in this family?”😂

Oh my gosh this is so true my mom picked my course for me 😂😂

I'm so glad I'm Filipino thank you Jo Koy

I can watch this all day long!

You are the best!

Its funny how my mom after highschool graduation, my mom told everyone of my friends and siblings dont be a nurse, nursing job is toxic, the shifting hours, the things you need to study so on and so forth. One month after all my friends where studying nursing and my sister even my brother studied nursing. I was the only one in my family who wasnt in the medical field.

Damn, Jo can dance! His slides and moves look good!

OMG!!! I love this guy,
