well put Corey...know what woulda been funnier...a CGI Jar Jar Binks instead of Dat Phan.

I could see it now...all the comics play hide and go seek, and Jar-Jar hides in the corner for an hour...that would be soo funny.

Dat is a tool.

Being funny is a very good reason. It's the point of this thread, is it not? Discuss why he is and isn't funny. His act. Which isn't funny. Which is exactly like other people who have come before him yet he's brought it down from the level of "let's explore cultural experiences and differences" to "I'm going to make fun of the way my people talk." There's no style, it's like going for the easiest thing you can make fun of a culture about. That's embarassing that people actually voted for that. Let's all support the jokes that we get, because they're the stupidest jokes we can understand. Making fun of people's speech.



What else is there? His awkward delivery? His over-use of over-practiced material? His jokes referring to his family? On a forum about his act, HIS ACT SUCKS. On its own and in comparison to others, HIS ACT SUCKS. Plain and simple. What are you looking for here?

I don't think you understand because you aren't Asian

he speaks for all of us that have had mothers like that.

The pain and embarassment of bringing over friends who don't understand your mom, especailly white friends

No CS, I don't think it has anything to do with being asian or not. I'm white, and I think he's hilarious. It's really just a matter of opinion, and I guess Fishman disagrees with us. Since he's so wildly successful in the czechoslavakia (sp?), who are we to argue?

Or those of us white men with Asain wives!

let me tell you, she just NEVER shuts up!

Maybe that's because that's who she is.
You shouldn't assume all Asians talk a lot,
just because your wife does.

Mine does too though. So they must.

That is when she is not washing my clothes.

Oh whatever. Neither of you probably have wives.
I don't know why I bother.

Oh, I know... For Dat!

But can she cook and love you long time?

Not really.

She loves me wrong time though. So wrong. SO WRONG.

sure play into the stereotypes, but I find your racism appalling

I don't eat dogs, I'm not that good at math, I can't program your VCR, I can drink more than one beer without getting drunk and my "size" is none of your business.

jerk

Oh man...I just remembered how awful Dat Phans stand up is...

HA.

Will

Don't get me wrong now, my family is Laotian. I'm not against Asian women, just my wife with the BLAH BLAH BLAH and the DOO THAA DISHAAS NOOW!!!

Some advice you though. Take some gourmet cooking classes, get a math tutor, and read the VCR manual! Then come over for a Budweiser and we'll compare penis sizes while watching some Austrailian rules football.

I find Dat Phanation appalling.

You spelled appealing wrong.

ooooohhhhh!!!

Mi so soddy!
