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.
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.

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
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)....
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🤪
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 ;-).
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!
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 ❤🎉
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. 🥰
Hey, the shift series. How in God’s name did you manage to spell her name wrong after she at least spelled it 10 times in the video???😮 Don’t you listen to your own content? Shame on you.
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.
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 .
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.
HISTORY CLASS MOMENT: Cristobal Colombus arrived NOT IN AMERICA , AMERICA IS A CONTINENT NOT A COUNTRY, He arrived in what now is known as Cuba, the Bahamas , and what now is know. As Haiti. Please when taking about USA please say USA not America, AMERICA IS A CONTINENT , Jesus people !!!!
Come on Shift ! She spells her name like 8 times and you still managed to get it wrong ! You are worse than this american flower shop clerk ! She says 16 letter 6 As VENKATANARAYANAN !
The entire set was about her name, which she spelled out repeatedly. She even said that her last name included six As! And the producers of this video couldn't spell it right?! The oversight is telling, but that the error has gone uncorrected is downright disrespectful to the artist.
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
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
Sindhu never fails to entertain! I love her brand of comedy.
They tend to thrive on what's familiar! Now that's perfect. Will use it in everyday conversations. Such a gentle yet killing characteristic.
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).
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.
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
Sindhu is an absolute pleasure to listen to and watch she's hysterical and so elegant 👑

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
Her impression of the lady on the phone sounds like Oprah in the color purple
She is obviously spinning a yarn here but her mimicry of African American women is spot on That's how they talk.😄
She is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT about America and the whole concept of America.
Enjoyed this skit..even the bits I couldn't understand .the body language was awesome
Sindhu, you are a versatile spontaneous proficient comedian. Just today I found you. Blessing my lady
Her black US American woman's impression is purrfect!
Omg..hahahahaha. shes hilarious!!! And the way she imitates the black florist..so accurate!
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 is such a fantastic comedian! Wish we could see more of her.
I love southern names. Stick to their roots and growing beautifully
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.
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. .

Seewajee(Sam) Vijeyaverney(VJ)....
Funny, I have a Srilankan friend Sindhu and Punjabi manager whose surname is Sandhu. So both she mentioned 😂
Sindhu Venkatnarayanan, I adore you! You are one of the funniest beings on this planet!
Whoa easy buddy..
It is Venkatanarayanan. ;)
Her older Black lady accent is spot on and hilarious 🤣
You are hillarious. I do not know how I am just now in 2021 just finding you. Love you from America.
"you know that movie where whoopie golbergs a fake a nun?" .. T-T
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🤪
My name is Sai jyotsna Vaishnavi Sabbineni so yeah I can relate
She is truly brilliant. Found her just a few days ago
She is hilarious. I also laughed when I realized whomever posted this video messed up the spelling of her last name in the title.
If they haven’t come across it, it is not happening 🤣🤣🤣
That surname part was hilarious! ..cheers from Lucknow :)
Man can someone give her a netflix already. One of the best standup comedy I have ever enjoyed
That African American accent was flawless
Living in London with my surname wasn't fun either 😭🥲🤣 my name was always auto corrected to Sanitary 🚽
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.
The funniest thing is that the name is misspelled in the title.
Love it, Dahling!!! This is fabulous!
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
Wha she said is so true of America lol! I've been here for 21 years
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.

My full name is longer than the Polish alphabet. Fully understand . What a wonderful woman to hype you up like that ^_^
Sindhu is a star.
... 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!
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!
My bro living in the US goes by the name Lakshminarayan Balasubramanian. Imagine the plight spelling his name every time
Her name is spelt wrong in the title lol
Now I understand the "vee"
Flower woman had some really good advice.
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!

The video is about mispelling her name and the entire title and the banner in the video has her name wrong.
She reminds me of Sandiya Garg from Project Runway.
I absolutely love her.. so effortless yet smart and relatable
Feels so good to know that she was schooled in Lucknow and her mom is from the city. She is very good.
Which school?
Oh my gosh... This is so relatable 😂 my Name is Sharmistha n I had to reduce it to Sherry 😅
Wish TH-cam had heart reaction icon, its so awesome !!
❤
I always love watching your shows.Her American accent is flawless too😁
She's so brilliant 👏 😍 ❤️

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.
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
.
So they even miss spelled her name in the title apparently.Venkatanarayanan.
With my last name Sachithanandam in USA . I really know what she mean
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.
Even theShift didn't spell her name correctly. They missed an 'a' 🤣
Anyone else notice that her name is spelled wrong in the title?
I love you Sindhu! And you look like Deepika Padukone.
10:01 That “jackass” was so on point! 🤣
Why is Sindhu so strange in Northern India, Sindh is right up there ....
Mr Pay-tel !! I liked that!
So impressed by her African American English accent!!!
What an act!!!
Lol I assume it was an African American
Did they speak her name wrong in the title? They forgot an a after the t. They didn’t watch the video. Hahaha
Her name... is misspelled here on the video title. There's an a missing. ;-)
the irony that they misspelled her name in the title of the video lmao
Damn Indians are beautiful...🧡🧡💖💖
Omg!!! This hilarious! I totally struggle w mine which has 12 letter, most of the consonants
Ahh she is grand and as I had similar name issues I like her even more xx
“If they haven’t come across it it’s not happening .
“Christopher Columbus thought he was coming here.” !!
This Sindhu is outstanding. Love her gigs, especially this one where she imitates the two Afro Americans! 😀
I love this delightful lady
After all that... theShiftSeries spells her name wrong in the title "Venkatnarayanan"... hahaha
I think she's the funniest comedian I've heard in a very long time!!!
a.k.a. Sindhu Vee.
HISTORY CLASS MOMENT: Cristobal Colombus arrived NOT IN AMERICA , AMERICA IS A CONTINENT NOT A COUNTRY, He arrived in what now is known as Cuba, the Bahamas , and what now is know. As Haiti.

Uggh I couldn't relate better I am Sindhu too but i made it into Indus and i bump into this lady Vee! Good.
so delightful
The fact that her name is spelt wrong in this video is just priceless
I noticed too!! 😂
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
Anyone else notice that her name is spelled wrong in the title?
Come on Shift ! She spells her name like 8 times and you still managed to get it wrong ! You are worse than this american flower shop clerk !
She says 16 letter 6 As
VENKATANARAYANAN !
The surname is Venkatanarayanan. Why are you guys missing the ‘a’ after the ‘t’ ? Hey Bhagawaan !!!
And even here they spelled her name INCORRECTLY!
The entire set was about her name, which she spelled out repeatedly. She even said that her last name included six As! And the producers of this video couldn't spell it right?! The oversight is telling, but that the error has gone uncorrected is downright disrespectful to the artist.
You’re too good! I love your name! I grew up aboard and had the same issues with name.
