I like the evolution of Jian. Goes from being a side kick of a side kick to a quasi-villain and then just a sad guy who misses his friends and wants to come home.
That's hilarious how the character actually clever, but appears dumb on the surface because of how straightforward he is. The chemistry with Erich is the best!
I'm really surprised at how good his mandarin is, considering the actor is actually from Hong Kong. Further impressed by the fact that his accent while speaking English is more akin to the accent of a mainland China mandarin-speaker rather than the stereotypical Cantonese accent that is more prevalent in western media.

@@vnmeister9418 Bruh. In Hong Kong it's compulsory to learn both Cantonese and Mandarin. A person who was raised in Hong Kong would understand what a mainland Chinese says and writes while a mainland Chinese can't understand what a Hong Kong person writes and can't understand Cantonese.
I just put it together that Jian-Yang was a metaphor for China. First they underestimated him, then he stole their IP's, then in the end, he owned the house, and they were out.
He’s one of my favorite characters! His phrases are hilarious and his personality and evolution makes you love him in a very weird way and the actor does a great job even with the little time he has on screen
"Yes Japanese people racis, they horrible" absolutely killed me *Edit* holy shit thank you guys so much. I never thought id get this many likes thank you
Its a comedy show. I'm from Hong Kong and its fine....you people getting offended and shit... Imagine an American coming to China talking in Mandarin, would they not be just like this but in reverse?
@@raywar3 I prefer to adapt and become stronger and not wuss out and ask for help, even if i'm small like Jian-Yang or nerdy as Jian-Yang, our ancestors weren't made to be weak to emotional or mental stress, or to such where we're bullied, as we were built to get past that and become strong.
TJ Miller's defining role was in this show. They did just fine killing him off (still very easy to tell they had to derail the show to get rid of him) It's hard not to hold it against him some how. this is the best comedy series of all time IMO.
I'm starting to think that now with Erlich no longer there, He can't keep Jian-Yang in check. I know Erlich found him, but he didn't know how much of a crazed psycho Jian-Yang really is.
As of this season, he took everything in Erlich's house(including their new internet plans), moved to China and tried to make a knock-off website, but sold it to a Chinese investor.
for those who haven't seen the series this entire video showcases how much screen time jian got in 5 seasons. I kid you not. He's the best character in the series and he got only 25 mins of screen time in 5 seasons. Shame
@blue copper but you're making the assumption that Hollywood is inherently racist. There would be better Asian representation after a film like Crazy Rich Asians because it made a lot of money. Hollywood is a business and since films with Asian leads or actors make more money, there will be more Asian actors in films in positive roles. Besides these things take time.
Every Asian and Indian guy actor in Hollywood needs to start off paying their dues by embarrassing themselves. Kal Penn (Kumar) talked about all the stereotypical roles he had to audition for early on in his career. Ken Jeong in Hangover also comes to mind. They will get better roles in the future. The other way out of the stereotypical roles is to produce and write your own movies/TV shows, like Fresh Off the Boat, Crazy Rich Asians, and Searching, which were all created by Asian writers.
how? he is telling us his personal experience with specific Chinese individuals. In case you are assuming all Chineses are like that, you are the racist one.@@cosmolutra
I can tell a lot of people haven't watched Sillicon Valley. Jin Yang is anything but an Asian stereotype. He is in fact a massive douche who keeps fucking over Elrich. Also, all the nerds on the show look pretty much like him. In fact, the main character is the one who is a massive, awkward dork.
I guess you don't know what a stereotype is? The problem is 99% of Asian characters in Hollywood get portrayed like him. It's like in the 1960s and earlier when African American actors could only get stereotypical acting roles as subservient uncle toms. This type of character may be fine in moderation, but the stereotype gets old when it gets repeated so many times over and over again.
I am Asian myself and i honestly don't understand the fuss. Jian-Yang's personality is amazing. He is fearless, not taking Erlich's (or anyone) bullshit, and he has free spirit and does whatever he wants (no matter how crazy or fucked up it is), the difference in cultures, the way he looks, how he speaks English sure are stereotypical but they are just parts of the character (plus they are funny). Where can you find such a badass character, he is perfect for the show!! (kinda like Raj in Big Bang Theory, the accents and all culture stereotypes. Still genius and I like both characters)
you lost me at the culture differences lol. yeah Jian-Yang is a hilarious character and it's especially funny as a Chinese, but his inconsistently awful English and strange mannerisms, for a character from HK, not some rural bumf*ck nowhere, is not a great portrayal of Chinese immigrants for the actually low-key racist viewers.
"yes I understand. I have 1 year, free rent. You, have no recourse. I'm going to smoke in my room now. Special occasion." Lmao one of my favorite scenes
“To make you feel bad, because you’re fat...and poor” 🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 Dinesh and Jin yang, the two foreign dudes kinda put this show over the finish line lmaoooooo
Sometimes I get a little offended by some of the satirical jokes but I really like how he refused to bow to the waist before Erlich. That’s actually not at all exaggerated and one of the noticeable differences between Japanese people and Chinese people!
So every appearance with Jian-Yang is the best of Jian-Yang... well I agree

I like the evolution of Jian. Goes from being a side kick of a side kick to a quasi-villain and then just a sad guy who misses his friends and wants to come home.
he`s not missing anyone, he`s just a d*ck who have nothing now
Naaa, he missed his friends. Even says so in this clip at about 23:40.
He doesn't like the lifestyle in china. Even if he is rich, he doesn't get the satisfaction like when he lived in usa.
@Wyatt Peck what? I don't get it lol
the irony of what he said to Elrich on that phone call :D at least when Elrich returns, he is still "friend" with Richard and the gang
