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.
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?

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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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 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.
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
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.
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.
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. 😂
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)
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.
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.
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???
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.
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.
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
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.
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"
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.
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.
@@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
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.
Lmao....I feel like everyone should have an Africa tattoo. Thats where life began beFORE my Norweigan and German hertigage began. Adam & Eve musta been African. #whiteguy
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. 😂🤣🤭
Ahhhh, yes. The pregnant pause when we get to the M’s during roll call. A first day/substitute day CLASSIC. WT- “student McPerson?” SM- *”heeeeeere”* WT- {long pause.} * ME- *“HERE.”*
@@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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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🤦🏽♀️
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.
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
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.

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
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.
Giiiiirl ! I am French from the Caribbean and people dare to say "glad colonialism happens, now you're here" wtfffe
Lmao....I feel like everyone should have an Africa tattoo. Thats where life began beFORE my Norweigan and German hertigage began.
Adam & Eve musta been African. #whiteguy
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
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!
"They come out with gay movies every year", " this year it was Joker", lol that's a good one.
Ahhhh, yes. The pregnant pause when we get to the M’s during roll call. A first day/substitute day CLASSIC.
WT- “student McPerson?”
SM- *”heeeeeere”*
WT- {long pause.} *
ME- *“HERE.”*
SM? What does that mean?
@@akmayernick3722 student McPerson
Thank you Sammy! Yes.
@@akmayernick3722 Sally-Mitchell, that's SM's name now!
Read this 5 times and it still makes no sense.
You done messed up, A-a-ron!
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?
She is hilarious . Can we have more of Hank Tina pls
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
Michael DeSanta I'm going with Day-Lee-All
Delilah Gladys Kney
Deli Al?
De-Lay-el?
Her song at the end had me hollering on the ground
Every Asian child, when they start to pause, you know it is you. Lol
“Some said it was brave, some said ow to dry”
Bro that got meeeee
Brilliant! Love her stage presence and timing.
She is very animated, not funny, but very animated.
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.
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
lol, i was like "that's totally a real song, right?" and had to google 1/2 the lyrics before I was convinced it wasn't
@@davidnoll9581 Same, hahaha. I was CERTAIN it was a song from Miss Saigon!
@@OrionsChild Same as I've seen parts of the play and just assumed it was from it xD
@@OrionsChild Me, too! I'm reading through the comments because I couldn't find the song while searching the lyrics
@@davidnoll9581 there had to be many people searching for that, cause google autocompleted after three words, but of course, no result
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
She's spunky and has a great voice!
when they ask, "Now, is there anyone's name I didn't call?"
*raising my hand*
them: "Oh I already know you're here"
Also from Erie, Pa! So dope to see ppl from my hometown actually make it! Congrats!
Finally, an ASIAN! Thank you for showing us our reality.
Watch Jo Koy, too!
Hahn Tien is like LEVEL 1 Vietnamese name prononciation! COME👏ON👏TEACHER👏
*Hanh
Pronunciation *
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.
Her body movements are so amazing for her set. Wiggle about it. I love her?
lgBt love
0:05, 0:34, 1:00 Even the closed caption person couldn't spell it, even though she spelled out the letters more than once.
It's automated
Racist coders?
@@unfathomable906 It's also manual.
Looks fine now
@Katya Fantastic. Thank you for posting.
"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
As an Erie PA native, I was SHAKING at her finale. A whole queen came out of my tiny part of the state :)))
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
my god she was hilarious. god blessed her with immeasurable comedic talent. she had me screaming and gasping for air.
Every bit of this is KILLING ME. Oh my god this is so funny.
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🤦🏽♀️
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.
EERIEE PENNSYLVANIA!!!!!!!!!!
"a big gay movie that comes out every year" is a line I will always remember
"and that's why i'm gay" and suddenly i'm in love
She's really funny, has a great stage presence, and has great chemistry with the audience!
She has me in tears lol 😂😂
My definition of perfection has suddenly been re-written.
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.
She’s hilarious!!!😂🤣🥂 I can definitely relate to everything she mentioned. She’s has a beautiful voice as well!!! Go Tien!!!🤗👏🏻
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
@:32 already relatable af that pause 😅 is literally the thing I knew when my name was coming
She’s actually really good at singing
Loved it!!! Thank you ☺️💜
"%A white teacher" lol why is that so funny
How come she only has few videos? I have watched this 3 times. She really knocks me off my feet.
Refreshingly talented. I hope she will make it big in the stage/industry..
I love her voice.. it sounds so familiar and so gentle. Dunno if she does dubbing..
This is so lovely! The way she dealt with, "Where are you from?" I aspire that.
This is the funniest standup I’ve seen in a long time. Give her a whole special, please!
When a teacher pauses during roll call, I know it's my name lol.
I have watched this clip over and over again. It's brilliant stand-up.
I loved her character on Hot Date (Netflix). I had no idea this is what her personality is really like.
I was trying to stay hydrated by drinking water, but kept spitting it out on what she says 🤣
Wow she is hilarious! So fun to see. Will definitely keep my eyes out for her next material.
I love her more and more as her set goes on!
I’m from Erie PA yet you make it sound so beautiful in your song even tho its not🤣
Not in the slightest bit It kinda sucks here
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
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
I searched for this video by typing "Hank Tina" into the search bar.
I actually like her singing voice 🧡💯👌🏾
Just when I was about to give up on Comedy Central for my comedy needs, they recommend this golden unicorn of a comic.👍🏻🔥
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 set was such a relatable treat! I wish her the best in her comedy career ❤️.
This is so good.
I hope Michelle Kwan sees it.
Just a thought: her voice is so pleasant to the ears😌❤️
