Ohh..that makes more sense! I thought Phil Wang said, " Babies don't care, babies are nude," so when the audience laughed, I was a bit puzzled and creeped out.🙄
You ever met a guy who has last name Chen and they are all white Jewish? The guy doesn’t know anyone that is Chinese in the family tree as they don’t have enough history knowledge to go back that far to find out, but he says down the line they must have had a Great Great grandparent that was Chinese. I get the joke! LOL

@ It's an anti-joke. As in delivering a joke with expectations of it being funny when really it lacks in humor. Deliverance is key and the irony is what gets you.
@@mxleavitt it's not that Burt Reynolds survival movie "Deliverance", but the delivery (tone, timing, facial and body expression) of the comedian....sorry for my ocd.
Vera Wang, Michael Chang? Maybe he said Jackie Chan? Bruce Lee, Jet Li? Kimchee sounds the same to me, Ai Weiwei, George Takei? Look alike in every way. Michio Kaku, Jimmy Choo? Lucy Liu? Can’t help you. Chairman Mao, Pacquiao? Don’t remember, not sure now. Hirohito, Margaret Cho? Yoko Ono, I don’t know, John Lennon, Jimmy Page, both famous Asians on the stage. Tommy Chong, Cato Fong? Was it Phil Wang ...could be Wong.
"Old Wang's snagged one of your lambs!" I've seen Phil Wang live several times over the last couple of years and would recommend everyone go see him live if they get the chance, also check out his improv group "Daphne" who do some wicked comedy sketches together, they're so, so funny!
Thats actually a really apt comparison, from the Milton Jonesesque punchlines to the self conscious humour, challenging of traditional stand up expectations and an almost fully formed awkward character.. but otherwise he's not anywhere near deadpan enough.. I feel like he reminds me so much of someone else I can't quite place! Either way I love this guy! :)
Just nails comedic timing out the gate. Holy shit what an awesome set. I haven't seen something this funny since John Mulaney's first set. Can't wait to see more from him.
I get asked that sometimes and I don't find it annoying at all. If you look different it isn't that strange that you get asked a question like that. I suggest just to grow up and understand why they might ask such a question. I find the caution people have when asking such a question to be a bit annoying as if I were so sensitive as to be angry at such a question.
@Nicholas Baguettewerfer40 It is a racist question to ask. If somebody tells you where they are from, then take it at face value. Especially, if you live in a multicultural environment. That question is a reason why minorities have difficulties assimilating. They are proud of their nationality, but they are constantly reminded that because of their skin color, they are second class citizens. The majority skin color will probably not ask that question to an immigrant with the same skin color as them.
Microphone Hell What on Earth are you on about! It isn’t racist to be curious unless its goal is to degrade them. If you do look different from the majority obviously you will be more curious as to why they look like so, a southern Italian could be asked that question or a sub saharan. The way the behave and act is the most important aspect to most people as I have seen. They become naturalized citizens if they behave like so, and also cut the second class citizen bull crap, I have no idea where you live but in many European countries it is monstrously fine. As to people being proud of their heritage, that’s fine to most people and as long as you don’t show it in public (which isn’t necessarily bad in itself) you won’t get asked any questions. It is great if you’re proud to be a member of the country, but the intention of these questions isn’t to be bigoted as I know you’ll claim but curiosity and that should never be taken away as I hope you’ll agree. If the person is rather familiar with you already this won’t do much except for fulfill his curiosity and in almost all cases (I say here in most of europe) it will continue unchanged.
I love that as a malaysian, you immediately know when you see another malaysian. even if they have subtle accents you just know it. malaysia represent!
Right? I mean the minute he provided Malaysia as an example country I sort of knew it. No one ever does that :D His delivery is amazing, that pacing and deadpan is on point!
@@jenniferyu2828 Why is Preston a cool surname? Attn @Thomas Preston. Dude you got it backward. He'd rather his Wang Phil her up instead. Your way would make any dude cry, when their urethra got philled....you sick puppy!
i’d agree although he’s cut from the same cloth as mark normand or seinfeld. Wang is really clear about establishing the premise and very clean and surgical about his delivery and economy of words.
There's actually a local (to me) Native American family with the last name Wang...and nobody know why either. Seems this is a common strategy for people with the last name Wang to do.
I know a man from England who looks far more SE Asian than Phil and he is 100% English going back as far as possible. If someone speaks English with no sign of an accent as he does, why would anyone assume he was not born there. A girl I worked with at University was always trying to make friends with girls students who looked Chinese etc. because she was just assumed they were from overseas and would be lonely missing their family. It never occurred to her that they could actually be born here. She was very deaf and she never heard them when they told her that at night they went home to mum and dad!
I like this guy, watched fair bit of him recently makes me think lot of people know at uni, the kind that's sort of lad like but too nerdy to be one really.
Phil was pretty funny and his delivery was good without being too long or rapid. Phil is mixed, English mum and Malayasian dad, born in the UK and lived in Malaysia and moved back to the UK at 16.
LMAO the "where are you from" joke. AMAZING! Any first generation immigrant knows the feeling. My I love answering NYC and just watching the solid 2 seconds of confused staring.
As a child of immigrants it can get even weirder, because even when they ask openly where you come from "originally", the answer is still the same. Insert more confused staring ;)
It's genius. The whole bit built around his name. Like a pop song, repetition burns it in. Maybe he could improve his delivery and push more with his voice.
Mmm I was living in Indonesia and there it was so common to ask asli dari mana? Where are you from originally? and quite normal to be told what part of Indonesia their family originate from I think asking about people's origins is from curiosity because people are interested in different cultures
simple but effective. he manages to deliver unsurprising jokes with surprising turns. hope he goes far.
chf gbp that's a spot on observation, I was wondering to myself why, despite laughing at and enjoying his show, he still didn't seem "funny" to me, and that's exactly it
8calcifer : indeed. maybe he needs more 'life' or a team of writers, like American comics.
Well put
Yeah, he did one on how he looked like a Chinese Michael McIntyre. Think the false set up was a call back to that.
"Hope he goes far"
I love how that could be seen as both supportive and racist 😂

A cross between Moss from IT CROWD and James Acaster
I am so glad someone commented on the James Acaster likeness. I love this set.
It's especially the way he stresses certain words in the bit about telling new people his name, exactly the same as James now does.
Matthew Sumption i thought exactly the same thing!
Didn't notice the moss but now it's been pointed out I can see it
I immediately thought of Moss too!
i would disagree, both of those comedians have a serious dry tone to them, phil doesn’t
Haven't laughed so hard at something so stupid when he said
"Phil by name, Wang by... second name. Phil Wang"
Qr at something so plain!
