Epic Comedy Battle : Jimmy O Yang vs Anjelah Johnson

I grew up very stereotypically man I didn't play basketball football I grew up playing pingpong competitively that was a serious national sport back home man you know I didn't go to any like fun summer cam space cam my dad sent me to a pingpong training camp in guango China I almost died it was 100 Kids competing with one spot on the national team it was basically fortnite with pingpong paddles we took that seriously though my dad would take me to every practice every Tournament game and he always try to give me a pep talk before every game but you know Asian parents they way too honest so every pep talk just turned into an insult like he would come up to me be like J J you're going to play well okay even though you're slow even though you're weak and you suck and then he would just walk [Applause] away I was very good at math that's a big Asian stereotype I think there's some truth to that not because of some weird genetic thing just because our parents care so much more about mathematics and academics right you guys seen it you guys seen those like Kuman Learning Centers in those strip malls right right Kuman Learning Centers for you guys that don't know are basically detention camps for young Asian children you can tell that place is kind of [ __ ] up by the look of its logo cuz it's supposed to be a smiley face but it's not really smiling it's just like man my parents were way too cheap to send me to Kuman they got a different strategy they never let me use a calculator until I turned 15 so I can work on my brain function that's an old school Chinese strategy you know so when I turned 15 it was a very special occasion it was basically my kinera my dad just gave me a TI 83 [Applause] plus and he looked me in the eyes and he was like you're a woman now okay but when you're a kid when your parents tell you you can't do something what do you do you Rebel right so when I was 14 years old I stole my brother's calculator I stole Roy rogers's calculator and I locked myself in my room and I started rebelling I started doing math homework other kids were like around with like alcohol and drugs I was [ __ ] up some problemis you know lock myself in a room I was just punching in numbers I was like oh man this feels great you know it's so wrong it's awesome my dad was pissed he was knocking the other side of the door he doesn't like lock doors in the house and he was screaming he was like Jimmy Jimmy what are you doing inside come out right now I know you in there using a calculator come out right now I was so scared I didn't know what to do and he unlocked the door and he came in I went into full panic mode so I just threw away the calculator and I pull down my pants I was like Dad I was just jerking off and he came in and he looked at me and they looked at the math homework and he was like good good very good very good very good you must have really like a MK that's good that's good keep it up because there's nothing there's nothing that will make your Asian father more proud than to see his son jerk off to his math homework Dad's here tonight give it up for my dad he's in the [Applause] house my Daddy Y my dad's so cool I'm going tell you a little bit about my dad my dad is like Mr cool guy like life of the party you know what I mean like super athletic like really into sports like my dad's the kind of guy who watches a boxing match on TV as if he is in the boxing match on TV you know what I mean like he'll watch it like this it's like whoa dad are you winning he got us involved in sports when we were younger but not like the legit way only if it was free to sign up and you got a free t-shirt to play cuz if you had to pay for uniform forget it you can't be on that team for instance I ran track and

Lane one Lincoln High School blue and gold lane two Gunderson High School brown and gold Lane three Angela and some jeans a T-shirt and a pair of flipflops I didn't know what I was doing I wasn't

embarrassed that I'm not as cool as my mom you know what my mom said to me yesterday she said yes with an a like seven of them yeah hny she's in her 50s but she thinks she's in her early 40s cuz we let her be on social media she loves Facebook and Twitter she loves Snapchat yeah she likes to do all the different animal filters on her face but she doesn't actually do anything with them she'll

Auditions and you understand how hard it is how much rejection I face every day at my job he was like okay and he went to all these auditions and he started booking everything it's true story he he got on this show in China in mainland China called little daddy shiaa half a billion people watch that show it's like the Big Bang Theory of China and Richard blew up and he was like this is a easy I don't know my plan completely backfired and my aunt and sh she watched the show and she would call the house in LA and she's like congratulations Richard you're such a good actor did your son teach you how to act and he's like no no I'm a natural oh that's very good you and your son same business you know you two are very funny he's like no no Jimmy's not a funny I'm like Dad that's [ __ ] okay you got one good role good for you I'm happy for you but you're not a real actor yet real actors we got a cry we got to laugh do you even know how to cry in front of a camera he was like yes I just think about how much you suck at pingpong needless to say I grew up with low self-esteem because I was raised by Asian parents my dad's not going the worse my mom's much worse anybody here see the movie Our Family Wedding yeah uh for those of you that did not see the movie I'm in that one too yeah okay I'll tell you the preview okay and then you'll think about it you go oh yeah I remember seeing that preview I just didn't take it a step further our family wedding is basically the story of the Mexican family and the black family marry into each other and all the crazy things that happen when the two cultures Collide we had a really great cast we had America Ferrera I played her sister Carlos man played our dad uh we have Forest Whitaker Regina King Lance Gross Lup an tretas the woman that kills Selena in the movie [Music] [Applause] Selena yeah she play my grandma I didn't know how I felt about at first either [Applause] I had to remind myself it's just acting she didn't really do [Applause] it don't look her in the [Music] eye and don't turn your back she's actually a really nice lady but uh I had them move my trailer away from hers just in case we had a half Latino cast and a half black cast right we did what's called a press junket they said up one day where all these different TV shows come and they interview you to promote the movie that you're in right so they're like okay Latino cast you guys can do all the Spanish interviews I was like Oh okay that's cool um I don't speak Spanish my last name is Johnson might as well put me in the black interview oh no no no it's okay it's fine it's fine it's fine we'll just do it like this we'll have the interviewer ask the question in Spanish to the camera then he'll ask it in English to you and we'll just cut that part out like a Spanish voice over you that was their solution to do interviews all day like a kung fu movie every now and then they would give me something in Spanish to say to the camera like Angela Johnson family wedding and like I would sound good right like I knew what I was talking about so at one point this interview guy was like you could do the interview on Spanish uh no no I can't I mean I can say that cuz you just told me how to say it but I'm not going to understand you so this will go nowhere let's just try let's just try I've been trying since I was 12 the first question he asked me this is what it sounded like to me Carlos man our family waiting and this is my response to him [Laughter] okay let's do English let's do English yeah boo english is what I said I'm only on level two of my Rosetta Stone desio [Music] [Applause]
