Brown Power

For those of you who are tired of hearing about cartoons, let me say one thing: quit being such a buzz-kill. Oh yeah, one other thing: this one will be about a real comedian.
Warning: For those of you who are easily offended, do not watch the following clip. For those of you who are Chinese and will ever get offended, do not watch the following clip. For those of you who don't have 45 minutes straight to listen to a funny, funny man, only watch part of the clip.
Click here to go to a video of Russell Peters.
Russell Peters is an Indian. Not like, "Me Chief Crazy Horse. We hunt buffalo and have many native customs which the white man destroyed." More like, the kind that live in Asia. Southern Asia to be specific. (I would have put in a quote, but a Indian accent is hard to type). This allows him to make fun of anyone, just because of the accent. He starts off this video by making fun of gay people. Throughout the whole thing, there is not a single peoples that are not made fun of at some point.
Peters uses a purely vocal routine. There are almost no motions that have an impact on his comedy. He uses a very straight-forward method for all of his jokes. Every single one of his jokes has a set-up, usually a story, then a punch line. He doesn't use any slapstick, one-liners, classic jokes where you don't even need to deliver the punch line, or gimmicks. You might ask, "Why he is able to be so successful in such a competitive field?"
Simple. He is a genius. If you don't believe me, watch this clip around 23 minutes. He gets into a conversation with a Chinese man in the audience, whose name turns out to be Tap Sum Bong. Try to say that without laughing. He also has the ability to do perfect stereotypical accents for several different types of people. My personal favorite is when he talks about his Hong Kong tour. First, imagine a real heavy Chinese accent, speaking English, saying, "Excuse me. Excuse me. Yoo mamaa soooooo fat, when sheee jump for jooooy, she get stuck. Thank yoo."
He crosses lines. He makes fun of the people that most comedians don't. He talks about taboo subjects. He makes fun of people who tried to use Indians as slaves. He makes fun of Africans because their languages are so crazy. They have punctuation marks in their names. He is also creative. He proves that white people have accents by cursing like a white person, then comparing it to a donkey's bray. My personal favorite is when he talks about how the world will eventually be mixed. He says we should mix people who are never normally together. This is the list he gets:
Jamaican and Italian = pastafarian
Indian and Jew = Hinjew
Philippines and Holland =Holapenos
Cuba and Iceland = Ice cubes
French and Greek =…Freak
German and Noofy(spell check? I have no idea what this is) = little goofies
What did my life mean before I knew about this list? Now I know what I must do. I must make people breed so that they have funny names for their heritage. Is it just me, or is anyone else tempted to make this list a reality?
