Joel Creasey: He's an absolute force of nature, please go absolutely mental and welcome to the stage Mr. Ronnie Chieng *crowd cheers* Hello, hey everybody. Thanks for coming up late. Any organisers in the room? Organisers? People who organise the night, chose the activity, got the people together, bought the tickets, show
them where to line up. Anybody? Organisers? If you've every organised anything in your life raise your hand right now. Organisers? Thank you. Thank You
organisers. Give the organisers a round of applause right now. You ungrateful b*stards. Organising
f*cking sucks. Organising a group of people bigger than one sucks. Even something as simple as dinner. Just dinner. Where do you want to go eat?
Where do you want to go eat? I'm okay with anything, where do you want to go?
Oh no, I'm completely okay with anything, it's completely up to you, you decide. No,
no, no, it's fine. It's completely up to you, I'm okay with anything, where do you want to go? It becomes this f*cking battle to see who can care less about
the decision you're about to make. I'm so sick of I'm okay with anything. I'm
okay with anything. I'm okay, I'm okay with anything.
That's my contribution to the evening Oh, oh man that was hard work. I'm okay with anything. It's up to you guys now. I'm okay, I'm okay with anything. I'm out. I contributed to the decision
making, I'm ok with anything. I'm okay with anything. Why do you have to do to aim so low in life? I'm okay with anything, I'll be okay with
anything. Okay, well what will you be good with? What will you be good with? Why don't you tell me what you'll be good with? What you have to be
okay. I'm okay with anything. Anything? Anything?? You're okay with anything? Diarrhoea? You're okay with diarrhoea. No? No diarrhoea, okay. Genocide? Are you okay with genocide? No? So that's two things that you're not okay with right there. Let's put some parameters on this decision making right now. And this new thing now about people complaining
about technology on the internet, right? They use the internet to complain about
technology. Like on my facebook feed now is... this latest thing is people
complaining about the iPhone, right. Oh my god the iPhone is destroying human beings
ability to interact socially. We've never been more connected and more alone the iPhone is destroying human beings ability to form emotional
connections with each other. Have you seen us on the train? All we do
is look at our screens. We don't talk to each other anymore. We don't try to have a conversation. We
just look at our screens. We don't form emotional connections with other people.
We're too busy looking at our screens Yeah, that's right because before the
iPhone I used to form emotional connections with everybody on public
transport. Oh, oh, before the iPhone I used to turn
to the woman on my right, right? I form an emotional meaningful connection with her, right and I turned to the guy on my left, we bond over our hopes and dreams for the new year and our shared optimism for the future. The train was just so full of love. It was a
utopia on earth before the iPhone came and just destroyed everything. Ohhhh. Listen if you're forming emotional
connections with everybody on the train you're the crazy person on the train. Are
you kidding me? I live in Australia the iPhones ability to capture video
and sound is like the only thing keeping me from being racially abused on public transport. Dude, enough. Every Australia Day I'm just walking to
the train. I just stop and hit record. Let's go! Right, who wants to be a YouTube sensation today? *crowd laughs* Let's go! Call me a chink , call me a chink, I need the views, call me a chink. *crowd laughs* I'm sorry, that got a little dark, I'm sorry. *crowd laughs* Hey fellas, hey fellas in the room, hey
guys have you ever gotten in trouble with your girl over some sh*t Kanye West
said in a song once? Has that ever happened to you? Well it happened to me. I was dating this girl at the time we were watching, we were on my sofa in my house,
watching MTV, right? Kanye West comes on with his music video for his song. Bound 2. Okay, if you don't know Bound 2
it's the music video he does with Kim Kardashian on a motorcycle, alright, it's
really tacky on purpose because he's a genius. So we're watching this goddamn video. Kanye West comes on and one of the lyrics in his song happens to be: "Have you ever asked your b*tch for other
b*tches" alright, so he's singing his song "have you ever asked your b*tch for other
b*tches". Immediately the girl I'm dating just
turns to me and just angry, goes oh my god can you believe what he just said?? That's disgusting. Is that what you want, do you want to ask your b*tch for other b*tches? Is that what you want to do? I'm like Woah!! I didn't say that, I didn't even pick the channel,
you picked the channel, this video randomly came on. How is this on me? Right, and she won't stop. She keeps going, just keeps going, that's what all men want, men just want to ask their b*tch for other b*tches. Men are pigs, men are disgusting, men are pigs and she won't quit. And I thought f*ck it, you want to have
this conversation? You want to have this conversation, let's have this
conversation, right, because I went to an elite law school. I don't lose verbal arguments, alright. I'll just beat you until I win or one
of us dies. Alright, you want to do this?? Let's do it. Let's break it down. Let's
break down what Kanye West is saying. First of all Kanye West isn't even asking his b*tch for other b*tches. He's asking the question, "have you ever
asked your b*tch for other b*tches" It's a hypothetical. It didn't even happen. What are you punishing him for his thoughts now? Are you Big Brother from 1984? Second of all, let's put aside the fact that b*tch in euphonics and hip-hop can also have
positive connotations in the right context and let's take what he's
saying, let's take what he's saying at face
value. Kanye West is asking his b*tch for other b*tches, he's not f*cking other
b*tches. He's asking his b*tch for other b*tches. You don't know what kind of relationship they have, maybe they have an open
relationship. Maybe they like threesomes, you don't know. You're just applying your own moral values onto this couple. Who's the bitch
now? *crowd laughs And that my friends is how you win the
battle but lose the war. *crowd laughs Because I successfully argued my way out of that relationship. I rest my case Your Honour. Alright
you guys have been great thanks for coming out. Thanks for listening. *crowd laughs and cheers* JC: Ladies and gentleman, give it up for Mr. Ronny Chieng!!
Well... Not really. The Daily Show has its own team of writers.
Love that Kanye joke.
Another really good one is the one where he teaches his mom how to fix a computer problem: link
I think his delivery is pretty good, his material is just weak. Considering on The Daily Show he will have writers helping him I think he will do fine.
Honestly, I thought that was a pretty mediocre set. He barely even got the audience laughing
I saw him twice at the Montreal Comedy Festival this year. He did The Ethnic Show but he also opened for Bill Burr. Pretty much the same set as the one above. Meh. I saw worse.
Good stuff. I'm actually pretty excited to see what he can do on the Daily show.
a bit about how women won't pick a place to eat? this guy is thinkin outside the box
this wasn't funny at all.
Holy moley, I thought this guy was awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing him on The Daily Show.
