This material was recorded earlier this year before stand-up shows across the country were suspended. Please stay inside, wash your hands, and take care of each other. And when things get back to normal, go see live comedy. Comedians need your support. #AloneTogether
Sounds like you're an amoral sociopath who doesn't care about whether the most vulnerable among us die unnecessarily and preventably. Personal freedom is nice and all but what about social responsibility, or like... empathy
Good luck killing the elderly, immunocompromised, and people with preexisting conditions, bro. I hope the weight of spreading a disease that disproportionately affects these vulnerable populations while leaving you miraculously unaffected doesn't bother you as much as it does me! Because I have the ability to feel compassion for other humans, an ability that is apparently not universal it would seem, after this discussion.
Geeeee's. You 2 know this was a Comedy show right.
Lmao you say that like those things weren't already horrible and in dire need of correction. "What about"ism will get you nowhere when you're not actually interested in fixing any of the issues you bring up. Why wait until now to bring them up or fix them?
Also I didn't start this argument but I'm damn sure going to finish it
Hollywood T People like you are almost too dumb to live. You actually think you’re dramatically sacrificing “life and liberty” by refraining from your typical every day BS gallivanting around town for a few months? Disease and plague has been very prominent throughout human history and if you weren’t too lazy and ignorant to look it up you’d see during something like the Spanish Flu those states who followed practical safety guidelines had diminished deaths and infection while the arrogant states who did not ended up getting huge numbers of deadly infections and many unnecessary deaths. Everything isn’t a conspiracy just because the press supports it. Going against the grain all the time doesn’t make you woke or above manipulation, it makes you an insecure selfish naive asshat. You should grow up, it’s ignoramuses like you who are the main reason the US now has the largest number of infections and the rate won’t stop accelerating. This is a real virus with real consequences and your lazy lack of empathy or willingness to learn is what’s wrong with the world.
"it took me a long time to come out of the closet, it takes me a second to get back in" lmaaooo why did this flow so well
LITERALLY HAS ME CACKLING
4:13
Lol...rewatched that part like 5 times. 😂
My teacher also takes a Big
Ethnic pause
My name is Big and Acctually easy to pronounce but the Teachers.....🙄
As you can see, my name, in and of itself, is such a common name, but, because there's an 's' instead of a 'c', it, suddenly, become so difficult to pronounce. Like, at least, do the respectable and honorable thing and either, ask me, or, use Hukt on Foniks, to figure it out, instead of having me go through the daunting experience of listening to my name mutate into something unrecognizable by the time you're finished, you know?
As a black woman named Tiffany Marie, I’ve never experienced the “ethnic pause”. But I have experienced the “confused search” when my name is called and they look around for someone a little less sun-kissed.
Yes!! My name is kinda like Sara Jane and I had a sub tell me I was lying and wrote me up. Said I was being a disturbance.
oooh how about genetically sun kissed
That's such a pretty name!
michelle brown that is awful
TiffanyMarie Hill sammmeeeee lol
"Ethnic pause"
Ethnic pause a real thing I get with my full name. And then shock I'm not Mexican. I get it more pronounce from Mexicans than white people so apparently it's not limited lolz
@@jemiebridges3197 My real name is actually pretty straightforward and phonetic, but apparently it's rare enough that it'll still throw people
😂 @ ethnic pause
It ain't a mystery nor intentional but it maybe makes a kid feel like an other

"And thats why im gay!"

Is nobody going to talk about how good she sings? I mean god dam.
Why has god made a dam?
she has a musical background, she's actually supporting those notes. if she was serious, I'm sure she could have killed it
8:21 when she sings "my home" she has the most beautiful trill in her voice, that reminds me very much of the japanese folk music i like to listen to. she has an incredible voice. and she was really funny on top of it all
@First Name Last Name sorry to disappoint i'm not easily impressed because I usually listen to singers like lena park and sara bareilles
for someone who is in the comedy field, it's pretty impressive, you'd be surprised by how many singers who still can't support a single note through their diaphragm, let alone musicality.
"Has anyone ever told you you look like Michelle Kwan?" "Nah they usually tell me I look like Hanktina"
Bakugo...why are you her- actually no i forgot you're asian too sorry excuse me.

“A whiiiite teacher” 😂😂 I felt that
Yeah but to be fair black peeps are often even worse at pronouncing foreign names.
A lot of folks of different races are. It's funny tho🤷🏾♂️
A black teacher "Is Dee Nice here?"
Right! 😂😂😂
Become a teacher then instead of complaining, white people get educated and then TRY to educate the rest of you, and fail most of the time because they cant educate someone that enjoys ignorance.
Teachers. SOUND 👏🏽 IT 👏🏽 OUT 👏🏽 You taught us this!
that's the only thing I learned from them 💀
I got suspended for saying something similar to this 😂 first day of senior year
Lol seriously, I had "ethnic pause" problems in America too and it's like... my last name is *six* letters

Hehe, Happy fairy is a lovely name, my Japanese name translated is “First son of that peninsula where it’s good to grow bamboo” which isn’t a particularly helpful direction
Write your Japanese name for us.
From my experience, most Vietnamese parents give their kids positive or pretty sounding names. Unfortunately, I wasn't one of those kids - my Vietnamese name doesn't have a particular meaning (at least from what I've been told).
my name in thai means either, "next to second place" or "sidechick"
Takesaki Ichirô?
My name roughly translates to something about grass and family in Chinese. When I was learning to write, I got really mad at my parents for not naming me “one” because there was this dude in my class named 安一. Like his name was one dash. That meant one. Plus, there’s a metric ton of girls named something something 萱, which means I’m stuck with the Chinese version of Sophie/Sophia, but it means grass.
as a vietnamese gay i’m so touched to see representation from someone who will perform a whole musical number at racist white women :’) truly remarkable.
Pretty specific representation, glad you found it!
yesss it was beautiful!!!
i'm just a humble pink skinned gay, but i very much love vietnam and all of east asia. i've lived in thailand and japan so far, but would love to travel to vietnam too, and i hear even cambodia is extremely vibrant these days, much more so than just a decade or so ago when the name was synonymous with famine.
the architecture and music is so beautiful
🎶🌈❤️
You're the kind of joke that isn't funny
“Remarkable” might be going a bit far just because she’s dissing lazy white people, but it was definitely funny
When my white clients used to ask my Asian nail tech where she was from she'd say Allston. When they asked where she was REALLY from she'd look at me, a black woman, and say Mom we ARE from Allston right? And I say no honey. We're originally from Revere. 😂
Lol!! Pure gold 🤣
😂😂😂 I should try this
It took me a few minutes to get that, but when I did...🤣🤣🤣!
Ayyyyy revere is the best !
amazing
I had a friend in high school who's family was from Laos and his last name was about 16 letters long(not an exaggeration). And his first name wasn't super long or difficult but it wasn't something like Bill so roll call for him started off bad then just got progressively worse, and it was a joy to see teachers not say "sorry I'm having trouble with this" but instead push on confidently as they start by butchering his first name then moving on to burn his last name to the ground and shifting through the ashes
@Ben G they didn't even have a say? Damn y'all bogus lol
Damn... I remember a Malay guy in my high school, whose last name was seriously Madonglogchongakanoba. Or something damn close to it. Then there was a Thai guy in the military, whose last name was Tsanchantixay (San-chan-tix-ow), but everyone called him Chicken-taxi. We also had a half Chinese, half Colombian guy Chingahdoi... who soon became "C-10." Annnnnnd then there's me... "Sa-for-za."
We had an entire soccer team from Laos it seems. Fortunately they all had the same last name and didn't remotely look alike despite being cousins and brothers.
Jonathan Liston 😂😂😂 that’s a real Laos! Lol
“Your name is Smith? How banal.”
She's like a living Disney Channel character.
yes! my thoughts exactly
Yes, she's Mulan from ABC's "Once Upon A Time"... gay, funny, & athletic
@@yajairairizarry1 ummmmmm that's Jamie Chung...
Shayna Goins she means personality wise
thats racist
Remember when people used to sit that close to each other?
Are you ready to take the mark
wow. i wasn't ready for that.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 great timing
LMAO 😂😂😂😂 Legend!!!
Remember when comedians used to be funny?
The black woman shaking her head in disbelief at 0:44 gets me everytime. 😂
I had to go back and look. Cracked me up! Thanks for spotting that awesomeness!
It’s the “that’s a damn shame” head shake🤣
🎼”ERIE PENNSYLVANIA! ERIE PENNSYLVANIA..”
Being from Erie this makes me feel good
My daughter and I were sitting in our house on Peach St and nearly lost our lunch when she sang, "Erie, Pennsylvania...🎶" Whaat! 😲😆🤗
The fact that the crowd echoed her!
Lmao i feel bad for her as a Pennsylvanian
Is that melody from a preexisting song? I feel like I've heard it before.
I can't stop saying "Scoot Hank-Tina, Scoot."
“If I say it slower she’ll understand better”
The more I ask myself how this woman found herself speaking 'slow English' to ask if another woman is a famous _American_ athlete, the more I realize it's pointless to ask.
@@crnkmnky yeah in their mind though I'm sure they don't see her as American, just surface level stuff and that's where the truth of the matter lies (so sad to say)
slower and don't forget louder
I’m so sad there isn’t more footage of her! Can’t find a video. She’s hilarious. Love to see a lesbian Asian Am woman doing great standup
The song at the end made me laugh harder than the dozen previous stand up videos I’ve seen recently. She’s awesome.
Thought the teacher was gonna say “Hang ten” lmao. Never heard of her before but imma b a fan now
6:25 That is the most Vietnamese-sounding "Oh my god" in the history of standup comedy haha. Give me more Hank Tina!
She might as well start using that as her stage name.. at least when shes stripping..
Ikr, that accent haha
This actually reminded me of a bit on SNL with kristen wiig. I think it was the aunt that gets excited or something like that... kinda irked me, it's identical.
When you're from Erie, so not only can you appreciate the song and her experiences even more, but you can picture the exact layout of the TJ Maxx she was in and the lady who said asked her if she was Michelle
My mom has two friends (used to be married), Hank and Tina
I once knew two married Kims... she was Valley and he was Korean.
you could have called them Hanhtien when they were together!
What’s always been so funny to me is that most Asian names when spelled out in English are arguably phonetic. If I saw Hahn Tien, I would immediately assume it is pronounced Han (like Solo) Tee-En. I would get “Han-teen” or “hayn-tee-en” but damn, Hank-Tina???
It's Hanh
She is Vietnamese American. Here are some information for you. Viet Nam used Chinese writing system up to 200 years ago. Then around 1800's, Viet Nam adopted Roman alphabet with some additional accent arks for writing. That comedian's name is spelled as Hạnh Tiên, notice the accent marks. US does not have accent marks so her name being written without accent marks.
It's pronounced "Teen"
ki5ngau the teacher could have just read « Han-Tien » and then the student would have corrected her. Butchering it is so disrespectful and like others said, some people give « white » names to people of color because they « can’t » say it right. The arrogance
@@fearsomestm00c0w no, it's not pronounced "teen". If it's "teen", it will be written as "Tin". The "e" in "Tien" means you have to pronounce that too, so "tea end" is more like it.
“That ethnic pause” faaaaaccccts 😂
I'm half Asian and white, my name is from the white side. And I still get the "ethnic pause"
Steamy Hot Djent to the Face Lol I’m also half white half asian. When I was born, my parents couldn’t choose between a European name and a Korean one, so they did both and called me Ninajin.
It’s literally just Nina, and then Jin, but people always try to put some kind of ethnic twang to it and then pronounce it really weirdly.
I'm 100% white with a phonetically incorrect last name and I almost never get that pause when teacher get to my last name, they just butcher it.
Same story for my girlfriend... but to be fair the white side name is friggin Lithuanian
My last name has a OE combination so I feel this
its like this customer i had years ago. he said his name is hugh so i wrote hugh and he was like "hmmm. thanks. you are the first person to not come up with some asian spelling of my name" im like "of course bro lol i know my asians. hu tien, hu lam, that is a name not hu one syllable. plus you got a british accent and with a white boy so........... context clues folks"
As a Vietnamese female raised in a predominantly white neighborhood, this was reliable and hilarious.
*relatable?
Relatable* its alright we know what u meant gal
Might have been relatable, but not hilarious.
as a white female raised in a predominately Asian neighborhood. how did the teacher get her name wrong? It sounds the way it looks like it would sound. ?? sorry this butchering happens so frequently.
but no commentary on how she cant pronounce her own name but makes commentary on how others cant pronounce it?
I want to see her do a full special. Based on just this clip, she's my new favorite comedian. Her jokes, delivery, and just all around stage presence are all fantastic.
I once had a homeroom teacher, 🎵 A White Teacher 🎵, announce to the entire class "Who wrote this on the sign in list? Is this a prank?"
Oh gosh I need a breakdown on how you say your name. I won’t be able to sleep till I do 😘😘
Wow.
@@chanelno.5560 ear uh zair ee
My godfather has the same last name
@@chanelno.5560 yah-hi-rah ear-ah-sa-ree
Pretty name.
About the teachers & names problems :
I'm French & got a German last name and an English first name.
So at around 14/15yo, I became a real pro to know when my name was the next up on a list. Because of alphabetical order of course, but also because all the teachers or the school directors who, certainly to figure out how to pronounce it, took always few seconds before they tried a 1st "shot".
9 times out of 10, even if they tried genuinely their best, they failed anyway, so, in order to make it less awkward to everyone (but especially for me I must say), after the 1st failed attempt, I always raised my hand and told them that it's fine for me if they call me by my name instead of my last name. Eventually, when I was running out of luck, some of them (the stubborn ones), wanted to try anyway, and tried again and again, in front of the entire section or the entire school, til they were satisfied with their pronounciation. (Awkward? Nooo..)
But finally one day, in high school (or "lycée" for the other baguettes who are in da place), I was waiting to experience the same things as every other years, but for the 1st (and also the last) time, the director surprised me by saying it, on his 1st attempt, absolutely correctly : "FUTTERKNECHT"!
In less of a sec I was really hyped. I instantly get a huge smile on my adolescent face (meaning orthodontic metallic smile with lot of spot !)
I was so glad that my 1st high school year start on such an unexpected moment.
So, when he called me "Yenna" (with a German accent), instead of Jenna, I must have had the strangest look on my face (on top of all the stuffs I described before), cause at that moment, every one started to laugh (friends and unknown ppl) of me or with me, cause they must have seen that he crashed my dreams in less than a half sec.
I don't know how you call that feeling in English, but it was kind of an "emotional rollercoaster", I wanted to cry and laugh at same time. Which I did! Kind of a really strange mix of nervous laugh & cry.
Anyway all those words for so little at the end.
But thanks to anyone who has reading it so far!
I’m a white American with a super easy to pronounce first name, but I also have a German last name that is hard to pronounce (apparently). Usually after I tell people how to say it, they can pronounce it just fine. For some reason though, no one can spell it. Like people will just write a random combination of letters starting with L and think it’s my last name when the letters they wrote phonetically make absolutely no sense.
Emotional whiplash. 😂😂
@@birchlotus exactly! X'D thanks your help, that's totally the word I was looking for!
@@AwesomeCockapoo lol I feel you totally!
But 1st : thanks for your answer and sorry it took me so long to answer (my notifs were off)
I also tried the "explaining" stuff, saying to ppl to cut it in half and try "Futter" than "Knecht", but it doesn't work with every one (and now school is an old memory so it happens less often)
I also relate with the second part of your com' (it made me laugh actually, because it's so true!)
2 years ago my last landlord had to send papers to the "impôts" (the place we go to pay the taxes in fr), and obviously she had to write my last name in it.
& even if she had a copy of my ID etc, for her, I became a "Furkenchtein" xD (probably a mix of my real last name and Frankenstein) She totally made my day tho xD
She kinda sounds like Miley Cyrus when she did the Missouri voice
My name is Wangeci pronounced: wha-ghe-she. I decided freshman year of college that I wanted to be called me my tribal name Wangeci. Buuuuut... Professors kept calling me "Wayne Gaci"... Yeah, like the serial killer!!! Soooooo Lydia it is. 😂🤣🤭
I feel you 😂
I'm hoping you can reclaim your name sooner rather than later.
@@happym.4644 if anyone here would, it's totally you!
Girl I feel you. I'm African American. I live in France. People ask me where I'm from all the time. I say, "The US." They ask where my parents are from. I say, "The US." They ask where my grandparents are from. I say, "The US." They say yeah but before. I say, "Slavery." They shut up after that. When you get asked the same dumb questions over and over you start to get inventive with your answers.

I'm dying at the song 😂💀
Did she make that whole thing up or is the beginning from somewhere?
@Jared Chambers thank you I didn't know where that song was from either but I knew I heard it before.
Rhapsody in Blue and the Harry Potter theme in the same bit
@Jared Chambers what song from The King and I?
I don't think it's The King and I because I couldn't find it. I swear I've heard that song somewhere.
I think It's just supposed to be a parody of the traditional Asian folk music in films like Mulan
You done messed up, A-a-ron!
As you can see from MY name - I went through the exact same thing - the "ethnic pause" was always an indication the teacher had reached my name. No, it's not de-LEAL.
I've been staring at your name for a couple of minutes now please tell me how you say it other then de-leal, i have to know now

Yep, many Americans seem to forget how their tongues work when encountering Asian words.
@@dgreyz it wouldn't be hard to ask
Cause us Americans have hotdogs in our mouth
@@dgreyz
No, its because Americans don't bother learning English. English has letters and each letter has a sound. If they would just spend their childhood sounding out new words one letter at a time, instead of half-ass guessing, foreign names would be easy to pronounce.
Or how about this?: Humble yourself and ask children to teach you how to pronounce their name.
The real assholes are the administrators who hire teachers without testing their ability to read.
@@kedabro1957 there is limitless different ways to pronounce a word in english. I would almost argue that the more advanced english you speak the more trouble you would have trying to figure out the pronunciation of a foreign name because you learn how many different ways the letters can act in this language. On top of that other languages have sounds that dont exactly exist in english so those words have odd spelling that does not translate to how it sounds. And as for the teachers roll calling they have to find the person before they ask how to say the name correctly which they ALWAYS ask after finding them. I think you're just taking this all to personally and getting a little mad
Perhaps because.... we speak... english?
Finally, an ASIAN! Thank you for showing us our reality.
Watch Jo Koy, too!
Brilliant! Love her stage presence and timing.
She is very animated, not funny, but very animated.

Mixed Asian - my second names Scottish - WILKINSON. As an 80s kid it was constantly pronounced
wilkin-SON? I guess my teachers thought they were progressive for watching karate kid🤦🏽♀️
omfg that Pocahontas/Mulan sounding song at the end was amazing!!! and you have an extremely good voice for it, there's a certain trill to your voice that reminds me of traditional japanese folk music, but that style of song likely started in china and probably moved through southeast asia too. but i think it sounds so extraordinarily beautiful. your voice is amazing, and you're hilarious, and if you're ever in south florida hmu! jk :p

Why is no one talking about how good her singing was tho?! 😍
Saw her as part of the Second City troupe 4 years ago. I'm was excited to see her on film in Hotdate with Murph and Emily, and now I'm excited to relisten to Erie, Pennsylvania and finally really hear the words.
"it took me awhile to get out the closet it gonna tkt me a sec to get back in"... that's gonna be my yearbook quote
EERIEE PENNSYLVANIA!!!!!!!!!!
This is SUCH a good point that I'm mad I didn't think of. I've always been furious when teachers act like it's such a big deal to learn different names. I've always found it refreshing to learn about new cultures
Also from Erie, Pa! So dope to see ppl from my hometown actually make it! Congrats!
Every bit of this is KILLING ME. Oh my god this is so funny.
Yoh when she sang Erie, Pennsylvania! I grew up there and yep, her experiences make even more sense. What a gem we have from there, though! She's hilarious.
As an Erie PA native, I was SHAKING at her finale. A whole queen came out of my tiny part of the state :)))
my god she was hilarious. god blessed her with immeasurable comedic talent. she had me screaming and gasping for air.
She has me in tears lol 😂😂
She’s actually really good at singing
When she hit that ERIE PENNSYLVANIA song LOL
I'm so happy to see her on How I Met your Father playing and playing an lgbt character. She deserves it, she is amazingly talented S2
I loved her character on Hot Date (Netflix). I had no idea this is what her personality is really like.
"%A white teacher" lol why is that so funny
@:32 already relatable af that pause 😅 is literally the thing I knew when my name was coming
When a teacher pauses during roll call, I know it's my name lol.
I died at the singing. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Never met a Hank Tina, but I did go to school with an April June May, Paz Rainbow and Dove Rainbow (brother/sister) - yeah, we got some flower children here and a whole lotta boring white. I get why y'all aren't rushing up to the Idaho panhandle, but damn we need some diversity here.
I used to know 3 sisters named Dawn, Dusk, and Day..
wow
You'll booked the heifer from the horror movie The Ring Around the Toilet. HAHAHAHAHA...
If someone asks you where you’re “from, from” and your answer is a satirical musical number... It just feels like you’ve won the battle *and* the war.
"I was method" 😆
She's really funny, has a great stage presence, and has great chemistry with the audience!
I was trying to stay hydrated by drinking water, but kept spitting it out on what she says 🤣
"and that's why i'm gay" and suddenly i'm in love
I have watched this clip over and over again. It's brilliant stand-up.
This is so lovely! The way she dealt with, "Where are you from?" I aspire that.
"a big gay movie that comes out every year" is a line I will always remember
Skoot had me dying 😂😂😂
My definition of perfection has suddenly been re-written.
Refreshingly talented. I hope she will make it big in the stage/industry..
🤣🤣 Now every time I hear Hedwig's Theme I'm going to think of hand jobs!
Honestly I'm too much of a dragonball fan to ever get her name wrong
Branden Alberto my name is Tien
🤣🤣🤣
😹😹😹😹😹
My exact thoughts
This is the funniest standup I’ve seen in a long time. Give her a whole special, please!
Damn, she's funny. And crazy talented in singing too.
I was racking my brain trying to remember where the go on Scoot line in my head came from founded sweet man's this comedian here is one of the best I've seen
I mean this as a compliment but the funniest parts were just the way she interacted with the crowd.
This was hilarious, also I love how much she uses dynamic movement, I was just watching some other comedians who just stood in front of the mic so this was a refreshing change.
Me being a Dragon Ball fan reading Asian kids names: I'VE TRAINED MY WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS MOMENT! I'M ABOUT TO MAKE THESE KIDS LIVES!!
But yeah I was able to read her name due to having Vietnamese friends growing up.
Lmaooooo the sing-song “A white teacher” had me cracking up.
Sidenote: My name is Synamon (pronounced cinnamon) and teachers used to BUTCHER my name. I always have the 😮 face when people actually pronounce my name right to this day.
Going in I was expecting to maybe chuckle here or there, but just wow, the energy, the body language, the delivery was all on point throughout the entire performance! Definitely gonna be keeping an eye out for her other work
“Oh it’s working & you’re done” 😂
8:00 I love the song 😂
I love her more and more as her set goes on!
