@@EriSenshur bit of a running joke on thos channel, stevens dad always talking about how his cousin timmy is fluent in 6 languages and is a neurosurgeon etc at 9
I’m 5’2. Out of 3 children my mom said I was the easiest because growing up I loved broccoli, kale, carrots, spinach and cauliflower and she didn’t have to fight me to get me to eat veggies. However my two older sisters avoided them at all costs and are both 5’4 and 5’7. This video lies! 😭
I find it awesome that "Steven He" is such a talented actor, as well as playing all of the characters in his stories. I mean, for example, in "How Asians Pack School Lunch 2," the two non Asian students are never seen on the screen together. But while they are laughing their short term delight, I feel like I can see both students at the same time. That is how good of an actor he is. The channel employs high quality cinematography, and if there is anything to wish for in the productions, he incorporates it into the story. Plus, I think his Asian background give him some insight to parody, and his Irish background gives him an amazing sense of humor. If Steven He sees this, keep up the good work!
As a not Asian but an American and someone 5’5 that hasn’t eaten broccoli, Steven knows just what to say to make me question myself and make me realize I’m a complete failure despite my accomplishments
Same here. I'm not Asian, but I'm also an American who is 5'6 and I rarely ever eat broccoli. I'm pretty sure Steve's dad and his ancestors would see me as a failure. And I'm pretty sure my own ancestors would burn me at the stake for being a witch or something.

I don't know why, but hearing that Asian accent always puts me in a good mood. Also Is there much context to what lah! means? Is it more of an expressive grunt for Asians? or what is it?
The one thing I'll always never live down is my dad saying, : You're Great Grandfather earned money and passed it down your Grandfather, he then passed it down to my dad and then he told me " you think I'm dumb enough to pass it to you."
As a 2000 year old asian person I can confirm that we did in fact say that those who play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare ll will never get a girlfriend.
