Anjelah Johnson and Russell peters were excellent!
The other one not so good.

You must be quite an old and boring fuddy-duddy, who's quick to take offense at everything.
Stand-up comedians mess with every race, language, religion, politician, celebrity, gays, lesbians, cripples. No one is spared.
The nearest Singapore has to match the brilliance of this art is Kumar, and even Kumar's jokes get formulaic after a while.
This is called 'free speech'... something the PAP dumbfucks will never understand.
i was in a viet hair salon 2 weeks ago, and kim my favorite took care of me. kim has her mom working in the same salon but as a manicurist cum pedicurist. they both own the salon and sub-let sections to other hairdressers and manicurists plus an occasional facial specialist. everytime i walked in after having a coffee and donut from 2 doors away at jenny's donut (another viet-owned shop), kim would greet "mourning! how arghhh you?" with her usual smile. "you cum for aircut and shamepoo?" "yes, gook morning!" i would reply. "it's a shame poo grows so fast!" i smiled back.
after getting seated, she asked. "lumber twee?" and she turned her head and talked to her mom. "$&@656?/::!!!!!!" her mom replied "!??$77(!-3&%}}€>??!!!!!!!" "yes! number three....not too short, not too long. and please KEEP the sideburns." i pleaded and smiled. the first time i said "SAVE the sideburn" and she SHAVED it! not kidding.
This would have sounded perfectly fine if you are a white person or at least a person of non east asian ancestry. For an east asian person to think of them in such a manner sounds well rather condescending.
just presenting facts. tell me who is more condescending. the hairdresser who cuts your attempt at small talk and conversation by turning to her mom and yapping away at a language you don't understand (she and mom may be talking shit about you), or you who are a regular customer, want a good haircut, and attempt to give precise instructions that can be acknowledged and understood so they don't mess it up and end up pissing you off for a fucked up job?
although the latter seems condescending, it's not. it's part of life in the valley when the existence of multiple cultural and ethnic groups with different and distinct languages get clear and precise messages across barely as they mostly get lost in translation. many times they lead to frustration and confusion, but also at the same time, they create humor. and sometimes, there is no other way to look positively at the miscommunication without humor. and if that is condescending, so be it as we all condescend on each other for lack of understanding the other's language.![]()
