She does an okay Southern African American accent. But actually, there's a lot of Carribean Indians and Southern Indians. And they do it on another level. I bet you that comedian Aziz Ansari speaks Southern Black Dialect much better. He grew up in the South.
One of the cleanest yet very engaging sets ever. Not fair that you are as good looking as a model, as creative as the sets you perform and you were an INVESTMENT Banker. OMG
Sindhu V-E-N-K-A-T-A-N-A-R-A-Y-A-N-A-N .... she's one hell of a stand-up comic! If there was an Academy Award for the best stand-up comedian, for sure I'd vote for her! Love her style and wit - one of the very best in this field. 🥰
OMG! Spot on Sindhu! Living in USA for 13 years now. Many instances spelling Ramasubramanian. Many companies still do nit have the software to accommodate such long last names. .
I live in London and had plenty of Srilankan co-workers. Not only their surnames had 15 letters or so, even their name was not pronouncable for us, so all of them have nicknames 🤣 I still remember one guy's name: Sriporsubashankarnath Sivalingham (Called him Shankar), then one guy was Ilankothasan(Ian) Seewajee(Sam) Vijeyaverney(VJ)....
I always felt so horrible when I worked customer service and a lovely East Indian would call and they'd hold their breath when I asked for their name. I've always really loved East Indian culture, so I've learned a lot about the meanings of names, and their importance. So they would tell me their first name, I would be lucky sometimes to know it's meaning, and if not, I'd ask, because I was genuinely interested to know. It always broke the ice, because I personally know how hard it is to have someone attempt to spell your name or pronounce your name. Mind you the last name I have, of which there are three maiden names I have (it's part of our background) is as common as Smith, and they still spell it wrong and say it wrong. I've let it go. lol But I seriously understood her whole bit. Indian names are like music, when you hear them, and know their meaning, it makes Western names seem bland by comparison.
@@fiisshuhooks3566 Indians in America are sometimes referred to as East Indians as the word "Indians" is also used to refer to American Indians (native Americans)
This is why Hooked on Phonics never should've been taken out of schools. I was an English-ohly speaker in first grade, and thanks to Hooked on Phonics I could break down and pronounce any multisyllabic word from anywhere without a problem. Venkatanarayanan is no problem if you just take it syllable by syllable. It's silly that people have so much trouble with this.
Ms Sindhu, you never disappoint! Not only do you have a poetic name, you can do African-American better than the African-Americans!! I continue to enjoy your intelligent, clean humor. Keep on doing stand-up comedy. God bless you, aunty. Much love, from the Fiji Isles in the South West Pacific. Please, come for a visit and gig/s , sometimes. Warm, sunny smiles ❤🎉
Lol. She is amazing!!! Being british, landing in delhi and being there all right, and then having my based in lucknow.. i feel extra connected with sindhu. No idea she does an amazing african american accent.
LOL! Love her African American accent and her gigs and I'm so glad to originally only have 2 letters in my last name which I had to extend with a "y" for better pronouncation living in Germany ;-).
My dad when naming me wanted happiness in it, his likeable god & a tamil god. So he named me 'Anandh balaji kumar Aruchamy' Surname at the end to make it word even🤪
She’s absolutely right , I am American myself , however it’s the uneducated people in America who react this way to names that are different, and there are plenty of those .
Dumbest shit I’ve ever heard fr. No country is as diverse as the US. That’s coming from a born and raised American of Indian Heritage....please try expanding your world view
@@tF6U 1. Diversity inside America was not her point. Her point was "Not American" 2. If you think America is the most diverse country ... you need to expand your world view. Think of a country where you move from one state to another and they each have a different language. That may be somewhat more diverse than yours.
Or maybe, just maybe, she knew that your average white Englishman would have a hell of a time trying to pronounce “Ventkatnarayanan”; so, she decided to shorten it!
I was teaching at a university. I had a woman come to my class from Sri Lanka. Her first name was Anglo. But the last name was Wickramagremagre. It didn't take that long to get it right. But I did have to concentrate. And I also have a complicated foreign name with way too many consonants.
Has anyone else noticed that they spelled her surname wrong in the video when The Shift Series pop-up appears… and in the title of the video as well? Are they taking the piss?
7:04 cryin' she's talking about her name and.. the banner edited in post is wrong... her name on the tv screen behind her is wrong... and the title of this video got it wrong too... Can we at least get one correction of the video title? >.
Never heard a person from India do such a flawless african american accent , This is so spot on !
This is southern not African American
@@animalakirahuskymania8567 Well I S'wanee. she sure do !
nah.

Morgan Olfursson - That’s funny, because I heard a southern woman, and in my minds eye she was white.
Sindhu never fails to entertain! I love her brand of comedy.
Sindhu, you are a versatile spontaneous proficient comedian. Just today I found you. Blessing my lady
They tend to thrive on what's familiar! Now that's perfect. Will use it in everyday conversations. Such a gentle yet killing characteristic.
Sindhu is an absolute pleasure to listen to and watch she's hysterical and so elegant 👑
She is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT about America and the whole concept of America.
One of the cleanest yet very engaging sets ever.
Not fair that you are as good looking as a model, as creative as the sets you perform and you were an INVESTMENT Banker. OMG
She is obviously spinning a yarn here but her mimicry of African American women is spot on That's how they talk.😄
Her African American accent is spot on !!
I’m a Black American and I’ve never heard any one of us speak like this LMFAOOO. This is a “Kathy Bates as a southern woman” accent.
This is southern genteel white woman.
Sindhu Venkatnarayanan, I adore you! You are one of the funniest beings on this planet!
Whoa easy buddy..
It is Venkatanarayanan. ;)
You are hillarious. I do not know how I am just now in 2021 just finding you. Love you from America.
Enjoyed this skit..even the bits I couldn't understand .the body language was awesome

I also love their names and the culture and I married one
I think you're getting south indians mixed up with east indians, sindhu is south indian
@@fiisshuhooks3566 Indians in America are sometimes referred to as East Indians as the word "Indians" is also used to refer to American Indians (native Americans)
@@namikazeminato36 the term also rose to contrast "West Indian" which refers to the Carriebean
My name is Vishnuraj Punniyakotti and I can totally relate!😂
People in my phone book have the name John Smith lol - Yours is better.
So part of your first name is a person from the Ramayana.
you can always change or shorten your name legally. its quite easy
Better than Shitesh any day!
U have a very good name
I absolutely love her.. so effortless yet smart and relatable
I always love watching your shows.Her American accent is flawless too😁
Schwarzenegger vs. Venkatanarayanan - which name wins the difficult-to-spell contest.
Arnold shivajinagar
is what people call him in Bengaluru
@@adithyahk 😂
For English speakers with Germanic/romantic language roots Schwarzenegger is way easier
Sindhu is such a fantastic comedian! Wish we could see more of her.
I love southern names. Stick to their roots and growing beautifully

THANK YOU. GEEZ. Just go slowly, sound it out and say it two or three times over to train your tongue to get comfortable with it.
Her impression of the lady on the phone sounds like Oprah in the color purple

Her older Black lady accent is spot on and hilarious 🤣
Her black US American woman's impression is purrfect!
You missed an a in her name in the title!! Hahahah
Uploaders don't care they are on YT just for views and ad money and earning money on someone elses hard work is called imm*******
They misspelled it in the banner at 7:04 as well, most likely why the title is wrong
Venkatnarayanan
instead of
Venkatanarayanan
They forgot a 6th A in the name. That is excusable. At some point people have too many letters.
@@FishFreddy don't be racist
FreddyFish wtf come on man just cuz someone spelled it wrong doesn’t mean it has too many letter
That surname part was hilarious! ..cheers from Lucknow :)
Omg..hahahahaha. shes hilarious!!! And the way she imitates the black florist..so accurate!
I think she's the funniest comedian I've heard in a very long time!!!
This Sindhu is outstanding. Love her gigs, especially this one where she imitates the two Afro Americans! 😀
How the hell did you misspell her name in the title of the video ALL ABOUT HOW HER NAME IS SPELLED?!?!?!
out of spite! They misspelled it on the venue (look at the screen behind her), and where not pleased about this act :p
Wha she said is so true of America lol! I've been here for 21 years
And the person who posted this spelled her name wrong! She spells it Venkatanarayanan in her performance.
And how do you possibly pronounce it ? Lol
@@niviamaeva exactly how you would pronounce it lol
@Alex Paul makes sense 🙏🏼🌷
And in the program...and in the PowerPoint slide behind her...
Absolutely nuts. I can't believe they messed this up!! Except I guess that makes the point (in a sad, sad way).
Lol. She is amazing!!! Being british, landing in delhi and being there all right, and then having my based in lucknow.. i feel extra connected with sindhu. No idea she does an amazing african american accent.
Feels so good to know that she was schooled in Lucknow and her mom is from the city. She is very good.
Which school?
10:01 That “jackass” was so on point! 🤣
Wish TH-cam had heart reaction icon, its so awesome !!
❤
Mathivathan Vhallatharasu here! I am proud of my name though, as it makes stand out as the guy with the long tongue twister for a name!
She is truly brilliant. Found her just a few days ago
Love it, Dahling!!! This is fabulous!
That African American accent was flawless
She's so brilliant 👏 😍 ❤️
She reminds me of Sandiya Garg from Project Runway.
LOL! Love her African American accent and her gigs and I'm so glad to originally only have 2 letters in my last name which I had to extend with a "y" for better pronouncation living in Germany ;-).
Why does everyone keep saying this lol. That’s the accent of a 54 year old white lady from Alabama.
@@lyricm997 EXACTLY!!!! its southern accent...NOT AFRICAN AMERICAN!
@@lyricm997 We don't know the difference. Apologies.
Uggh I couldn't relate better I am Sindhu too but i made it into Indus and i bump into this lady Vee! Good.
My name is Sai jyotsna Vaishnavi Sabbineni so yeah I can relate
My dad when naming me wanted happiness in it, his likeable god & a tamil god.
So he named me
'Anandh balaji kumar Aruchamy'
Surname at the end to make it word even🤪
wonderful, hilarious introduction of oneself
She’s absolutely right , I am American myself , however it’s the uneducated people in America who react this way to names that are different, and there are plenty of those
.
Man can someone give her a netflix already. One of the best standup comedy I have ever enjoyed
The funniest thing is that the name is misspelled in the title.
Ahh she is grand and as I had similar name issues I like her even more xx
She is hilarious. I also laughed when I realized whomever posted this video messed up the spelling of her last name in the title.
Mr Pay-tel !! I liked that!
She is very tactful about Americans. In my experience they have no knowledge about anything that is not American.
I think you meant to say “In my extremely limited experience” 😄
@@MichaelEdelman1954 agreed.

I love you Sindhu! And you look like Deepika Padukone.
"you know that movie where whoopie golbergs a fake a nun?" .. T-T
Damn Indians are beautiful...🧡🧡💖💖
The impersonation of the american lady was so spot on.
Where was this? Who is the girl in the blue that the camera kept cutting to early in the video? 1:43 and 2:02
Lol despite the guest speaker spelling her name out, SHIFT got it wrong while naming the video.
Smooth.
That’s what I thought, too. 😅
Jesus Loves You
So they even miss spelled her name in the title apparently.Venkatanarayanan.
My full name is longer than the Polish alphabet. Fully understand . What a wonderful woman to hype you up like that ^_^
If they haven’t come across it, it is not happening 🤣🤣🤣
Omg!!! This hilarious! I totally struggle w mine which has 12 letter, most of the consonants
Flower woman had some really good advice.
With my last name Sachithanandam in USA . I really know what she mean
Now I understand the "vee"
My bro living in the US goes by the name Lakshminarayan Balasubramanian. Imagine the plight spelling his name every time
She kills me. Love this 🤣.
This is soooooo good!!!!!
Sindhu is a star.
You’re too good! I love your name! I grew up aboard and had the same issues with name.
The video is about mispelling her name and the entire title and the banner in the video has her name wrong.
Her name... is misspelled here on the video title. There's an a missing. ;-)
fantastic! her name is that complecated to spell that even in the title of the video it's wrong!
Living in London with my surname wasn't fun either 😭🥲🤣 my name was always auto corrected to Sanitary 🚽
Anyone else notice that her name is spelled wrong in the title?
Wow amazing Sindhu 👏 👏 👏 👏
Daaamn good accent there...spot on!
HILARIOUS & ORIGINAL!!
“If they haven’t come across it it’s not happening .
“Christopher Columbus thought he was coming here.” !!
So impressed by her African American English accent!!!
Oh my gosh... This is so relatable 😂 my Name is Sharmistha n I had to reduce it to Sherry 😅
a.k.a. Sindhu Vee.
Feels a bit on the nose that in a video about the exact spelling of Sindhu’s surname, the spelling of her surname for the video title is wrong…
Your last name spelled wrong on this video title.
My name is short but they always get it wrong! If it is not a Jack, or Jenny then forget about it. But you have to love your culture!
She nailed the black lady accent!
... Hmm ... I actually thought her last name was Vee. lol
It actually is, seems like it's misspelled.
Jenni Raisovna ... How do you get Venkatnarayan out of Vee?
Zachary Matthew James probably a joke i would imagine.
May be when she was unmarried her last name was venkatnarayanan, and now after marriage it's vee
Or maybe, just maybe, she knew that your average white Englishman would have a hell of a time trying to pronounce “Ventkatnarayanan”; so, she decided to shorten it!
Great post !!!!!! Loved it

It gets longer the more south you go. Sri lanka is south of India

Her name is spelt wrong in the title lol
