Samoan Comedian (Chief Sielu Avea) 1995 Polynesian Cultural Center, Laie, Oahu, Hawaii

My recording (hi-8) and experience of the first "Samoan Comedian" in the summer of 1995 at the Polynesian Cultural Center located in Laie, Oahu, Hawaii. For more information on Chief Sielu and his remarkable story, look for him on Wikipedia. I should also add that he starred in a "short" 20 minute movie aptly entitled "Chief" that was shown at the Sundance festival and is now available on a popular streaming service that rhymes with "dime."
Enable closed-captioning to understand everything being said. If you are patient and watch to the end, some wonderfully touching and hilarious moments are revealed.

I think it would be amazing if the sweet Japanese woman in this video sees this some day! Her interaction with Chief Sielu is, in my opinion, the biggest part of what makes this video a joy to watch (and share) again and again.

Chief is actually a pretty good role model. He's strong, and physically intimidating, but well spoken, worldly and intelligent. Confident, but very friendly. He takes charge of the room, but also not afraid to have fun and look silly himself. He's basically doing a comedy show and teaching people survival skills at the same time, with jokes that are timeless and funny to people from very different cultures like America and Japan. Dude is a real Chad.

@@clarkAHathaway in a comedy drama/show the most important thing is the delivery, even a simple word can be a joke if done by a professional , and this chief is confident, i don't think some other people would be good even if they repeat or play his role. In our local area we have a comedian who is funny even if he speaks a normal everyday conversation with a bit of a stutter, we called him a born and gifted comedian, his every word was funny, but if his joke was done by others its more like a cringe, that is why the comedian is an important role as their material really sums up their joke and their delivery is on point.

OMG, I just realized after looking at the photos that the guy who climbed the tree is now the current Chief!

Amazing natural comedian. Best laughter I've had in a while. Thank you for sharing. Chief's enthusiasm shines and in the short 25 minutes, I'm certain we all learned, were entertained and given memorable insights of Samoan culture. Comedy does not know any border, if only we all live together like this everyday.

It's rare for Comedians to make me laugh these days. But this man? This man here made me laugh so much. I love it. Honestly tho, if a comedian is also laughing at the joke while others are laughing too, it obviously means hes doing his job.

Ah, takes me back to 1996 when I used to work at PCC. The chief was still around at the time and cracking jokes.

@naranbaz Жыл бұрын

@@rapname5267 No idea, PCC is owned by the Mormon church, they want everyone to abide by their rules, that could be the reason.
