  very funny guy…….I am always wondering which level of jokes can just make Americans feel funny but not offenceful……..

• 2. LIndsay Leaver  |  May 16th, 2010 at 7:29 am

  Hilarious! and Brilliant! There is a fine line between being funny and offensive, but I don’t think he even went near it. He stayed far on the funny side.

  In response to Gao’s comment/question I think most Americans can take some jokes about our system. It probably depends on the individual and their personal sense of humor, as well as their political views. However, some of what Joe Wong said may have been interpreted as offensive if delivered differently.

  To me, it is all in the delivery. He delivered clever jokes with a smile on his face. He wasn’t accusatory or mean spirited. He became an American Citizen himself! His underline respect for the people in the room and the institution itself was noticeable. Everything was ton and cheek, and said with a grain of salt.

  All and all, hilarious and worth watching!

  I love Joe Wong’s wit! I never really thought about it before but it makes perfect sense to think foreigners/immigrants would have the potential to be amongst the more astute comics. They would be most sensitive to the cultural quirks and absurdities that we tend to take for granted.

  What I particularly enjoyed is how Joe Wong’s disarming charm and candor was like a free license to touch on some of the State’s taboo topics … in particular, the over-the-top ethnic jokes that would definitely have raised some PC-eyebrows at the RTCA dinner to even making fun of the debate over the President’s nationality on his website. He was doing Borat and the Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (number one exporter of potassium and the greatest country in the world) very proud that night.

  God Bless America! Where else can a goofy guy like this “Roe or Wade” ashore and, 15 years later, be entertaining the Vice President and a room full of the most influential people in our nation? People like this are what makes our country great. Keep letting them in!

  I’m reminded of the book that the Zinsser book that Whitaker had us read this fall. Humor is the most effective way to point out the absurdities of our society in ways that audiences will accept. Wong’s comment about requiring same sex marriages if he is elected president is a great example of this. Great satirists like Wong challenge our worldviews in ways that only they can.

  What makes Wong’s perspective unique is Wong himself. He is obviously very proud of his American citizenship. I imagine that the road that he took to get to where he is was a difficult one. And yet, he makes fun of the country that he has worked so hard to become a part of. I love that he is proud to be an American even though he sees its flaws. I love that he is free to ply his trade - that being political satire - without fear of false imprisonment. Watching this video makes me proud to be an American. Maybe things aren’t so bad after all…

  To answer your question, no, i can’t imagine standing in front of a comparable Chinese audience and telling these jokes about their leaders. Can you imagine how silent the room would be after calling Hu Jintao a bad ass for excepting the Nobel Peace Prize while concurrently fighting two wars? It makes me shudder just thinking about it.

  I am usually a tough comedic critic but Joe Wong knew how to make me and others laugh. He had a few great punches. I enjoyed the remarks about reducing unemployment by reducing productivity, similar to the President and Vice President. I also enjoyed his comment about finding a cure for natural causes. These were absurd but hilarious ideas. Joe drove home some of the ludicrous ways Americans think and act about things and it was well received.

  I could never imagine standing up in front of a room of Chinese press and pull this off. I think Americans can laugh about themselves. I still have yet to learn more about the Chinese culture but I think it would be more difficult to pull something like this off. I think the room would sit in silence if someone tried to poke fun at their people and culture (and I am not willing to test out this theory).

• 6. David Hart  |  January 9th, 2011 at 12:45 pm

  This was a fantastic comedy bit! I liked the part where he said he was scared of marriage because 50% of marriages…end up lasting forever! Joe did a fantastic job poking fun of himself and Americans.

  It is important for us to be able to laugh at ourselves and our follies. It is also important to be able to understand how humor is understood in different cultures. It would be embarassing to say something in another country, such as China, that you thought was funny when the Chinese didn’t think so. Cultural norms are important to understand.

  I agree with the other comments that it is great that we as Americans are able to laugh at ourselves. It is fascinating to observe some of our cultural phenomenons through humor.

• 7. Cassie Bettencourt  |  January 14th, 2011 at 2:05 pm

  Joe Wong’s timing and delivery throughout his comedy presentation was priceless. It is extremely impressive that an immigrant has such insight and perspective into American culture. Although the audience he was speaking to was probably intimidating, Joe’s candidness and clearly educated humor won them over. I enjoyed the fact that Joe touched on many of the political hot topics of today including same-sex marriage, unemployment, health insurance, and global warming.

  Not only was Joe’s presentation funny, it was relevant, which I believe is key in entertainment. I cannot even imagine flipping this scenario without taking the time to live and learn a country and its culture. It’s great that we, as Americans, are able to laugh at ourselves. I think we can learn a lot about ourselves and how the outside world perceives us and our issues by paying attention to how someone like Joe Wong views our culture.

• 8. Robbin Forsyth  |  January 22nd, 2011 at 9:34 pm

  I’ve never heard anyone else pull of a decent joke about Roe vs Wade before. I admire the ability that he has to shift between playing on stereotypes (the immigration / convenience store jokes) to stinging political commentary such as the bilingual president. Overall an insightful, funny and very sly act.
  It was also fun to watch the politicians in the audience squirm in place and try not to laugh in front of the cameras.
  Seeing Joe Biden relaxed enough to laugh at himself is heartening in comparison.
  Hu would you vote for?

  I suck at learning languages. Joe Wong and others like him always impress me when they can demonstrate their mastery of a secondary language through appropriate use of humor. I think sometimes I laugh more at a joke told by a non-native English speaker than I do at the same joke told by a native English speaker. It’s just so amusing to hear American slang and idiosyncracies told in a foreign accent!

  Some of Wong’s masterful moments:
  “You can’t get more bad-a** than that!” (Obama winning a Nobel Peace prize while conducting two wars)
  “You had me at ‘Yes we can!’”
  “I’ve always felt that life was like peeing into the snow on a dark winter’s night. You probably made a difference, but it’s really hard to tell…”
  “I have a solution to global warming; I will switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius.”
  “‘OMG, you’re building a nuclear weapon?!? But you’re doing it wrong, LOL!’”
  And my personal favorite (guess why):
  “But now we have a president who’s half black, half white. It just gives me a lot of hope cause I’m half not-black and half not-white… Two negatives make a positive.”

  I think we are more willing to laugh at ourselves when our absurdities are pointed out when the person doing the pointing is also poking fun at himself… Well done “Who?”

  Joe Wong is a real clever comedian. I really enjoyed his jokes and his lack of shyness in attacking our relationship with China. He was also exceptional at making jokes on political topics, like Sarah Palin’s infamous comment about seeing Russia from her house. For someone that immigrated to the United States when he was 24, he has a great understanding of American humor. I was also surprised at his lack of nervousness in making jokes relating to race with that particular audience. I loved his comment that the best thing he does in the US is be ethnic. I also like his touch on stereotypes and that Ben Franklin was the reason his convenience store got robbed. Comedy is truly an effective way for people to gain perspective on taboo subjects.

• 11. Will Moeller  |  January 25th, 2011 at 7:36 pm

  A little levity can go a long way in any situation.

  I love dry, witty humor, and Joe Wong delivers. In the situation of introducing American and Chinese cultures, the mask of humor actually makes it acceptable to say certain things that would never be able to be said otherwise. Take Joe’s criticism of Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. I believe Joe’ words were, “you have to be pretty bad ass to get the Nobel Peace Prize while conducting two wars at the same time.” From an outside perspective, he’s spot on. The rest of the world may not appreciate the fact that an American can win the prize but be the Commander in Chief of the military fighting two wars. However, if Hu Jintao had openly criticized Obama about this during his time in the United States, the reaction would have reviled Americans.

  Joe is also a bit self-effacing as well. He mentions his humble beginnings and makes a couple stereotypical jokes at his own expense. You have to love a guy like this. He doesn’t take himself too seriously even though he’s accomplished plenty.
  Joe, himself, is likely no slouch, having graduated from the prestigious Rice University.

  Perhaps what seals the deal, though, is Joe’s delivery. He never breaks character once. While the audience wants to believe he is giving the entire speech tongue-in-cheek, Joe never lets on that his speech is just an act. For all we know, maybe it isn’t. But whether he’s extremely educated and accomplished or not, it certainly has to take great courage to flawlessly deliver such a politically charged speech in front of such a famous audience.

  Kudos to you, Joe Wong!

  Humor means different things to people around the world, and I was very excited to see what a Chinese born comedian’s sense of humor was like. I have a tendency to be sarcastic, and I’m aware that this is something to avoid when going to other countries and meeting new people. Joe Wong was absolutely hilarious! I loved his quick, dry, and witty sense of humor. He has such a unique perspective as a Chinese immigrant, who was educated in the United States and is now a proud US citizen. He touched on so many insightful topics that people born in the US have never experienced, such as the process of becoming a US citizen, his upbringing in rural China, and being the “ethnic” immigrant. He was humble and charming enough to crack jokes about sensitive topics like health care, gay marriage, and even the vice president and president our country! It would be extremely difficult for an American to pull of the same feat in China or India. There are so many sensitive cultural and historical nuances that most Americans are ignorant of that I know I could not be as funny or graceful as Mr. Wong.

• 13. Jason Jay Sharma  |  February 9th, 2011 at 1:48 am

  I thought Joe Wong was hilarious–so subtle, yet so effective. What I think Joe proves is that humor is a great ice-breaker and method of connecting with others. This is particularly true when the topics are something everyone can relate to. Everyone should be able to laugh at themselves, and it’s most funny when an outsider is able to point out those jokes, like Joe did here as a relatively recent immigrant.

  I don’t think I will ever be able to learn a language so precisely that I will able to perform stand-up comedy in front of a large audience like Joe did here. I’m by no means a comedian, but I have my moments sarcastic, subtle, or other. I don’t think while traveling through China (or any foreign country for that matter), would I attempt to use humor fearing I could offend someone.

  Peeing in the snow and texting about nuclear bombs–hilarious! I commend Joe for doing such a terrific job!

• 14. Sarah Weinzapfel  |  February 9th, 2011 at 3:39 pm

  I loved this video and thought he was so clever. I loved that he could play off of both cultures and stereotypes to make his point. Whenever I meet a funny person, I always think “wow I bet they’re pretty smart.” I was impressed with how well he used his knowledge to poke just the right amount of fun. Being an immigrant, it was interesting to hear his unique point of view. Although foreigners’ criticisms might come from their lack of understanding our cultural mannerisms, they often have a more clear view of us than we do ourselves. Just how other Americans are viewed differently by their own peers than they view themselves.

• 15. Matt Streiter  |  February 9th, 2011 at 3:39 pm

  Joe was pretty funny! I am usually a hard person to make laugh when it comes to stand up comedy but I did get a few chuckles out of his bit. Regardless of how funny I thought he was, you have to give him props for understanding American culture well enough to be able to make the references he did in his jokes. I give him even further props for being able to stand in front of that audience and say jokes at their expense.

  My Favorite one…
  “I can reduce unemployment by having two people do one persons job, just like the President and Vice President.”

  I also liked how he took the superficial meaning of landmark American events and present how a Chinese person could interpret it.”Row V. Wade is two ways getting from China to the United States” His integration of American culture into his work was very clever at points. His joke of text messaging being a large part of our society was cleverly integrated into foreign policy by using it as a means of communication between our allies and enemies.

• 16. Chris Bruns  |  February 9th, 2011 at 5:23 pm

  Joe Wong was definitely a funny and very professional comedian. He kept the room engaged and was very relevant. His jokes about requiring same-sex marriage and being surprised that half of all marriages last forever made me laugh out loud in the library. It is impressive that even though English is his second language he is able to work a room well and have such confidence and poise. I have a hard time speaking in front of people with my first-language. There was also the fact that he was able to play so well to the cultural humor that I found really amusing. He spoke from both sides, being an American as well as from Chinese descent, and I really enjoyed that and found myself nodding and laughing along.

  My final point is that Joe killed me with that he can’t go back to China because here in the US he is the best at being ethnic.

• 17. Ashley Ogden  |  February 13th, 2011 at 8:24 pm

  Joe Wong was pretty entertaining, but I noticed that only half the people were laughing. Perhaps the other half thought it would be rude to laugh because a lot of what he said was true. Wong joked that he stayed in America so that he could “Do what I do best, be ethnic”. Immigrants can see our country in a different way than we do and it is always good to heat their perspective because it will open our eyes to new ideas. It can even change the way we see our own country. It is refreshing to see a comedian at an event with politicians because comedians will just say it how it is, unlike many politicians. Wong comes from a completely different background and the listener has to put herself into his shoes to understand where he is coming from. His jokes were very funny. Some of my favorites were the one about the debt collectors, “life is like peeing into the snow at night…” and “OMG, you’re making a nuclear weapon?”.

• 18. Tyler Sereno  |  February 15th, 2011 at 2:44 pm

  I thought Joe Wong was hilarious. At first glance, he doesn’t look like he would be a funny guy. But after his first joke, I was laughing. It’s the way he remains calm and delivers his jokes. The timing between the set ups and the jokes is great. His segment on what he would do if he were elected president was really funny. Overall, he did a great job and seemed to have the entire audience laughing.

  If the situation were flipped and it was us performing for Chinese press correspondents and high ranking CCP officials, I do not think it would go as smoothly. I think the audience would take offense and not find it funny at all. They would probably see it as disrepectful and not funny.

• 19. Jessie Wilkie  |  February 19th, 2011 at 4:42 pm

  I got a kick out of this youtube video. Joe Wong was delightful. He combined culture and humor to create a sophisticated routine. Wong, however, didn’t go overboard on the culture and he used it just enough to make points and make things funny. He also commanded a good use of pauses and silence to let his jokes settle with the audience. Often times you’d see him stop talking and some people would laugh then he’d remain silent and more would laugh. It was very skillful of him.

  Some of my favorite lines were:

  “My childhood memories are totally ruined by my childhood.” The story following this discusses how he had to work as a child, in unsafe conditions, which is more common in China. He did a good job bringing up this hardship point in a humoress way.

  “If you don’t speak English go home.” This leads up to the comment that Professor Carr made about the debt collector line. Once again he personalized it and made it funny. He was very tactful with a sensitive topic (especially with Biden there).

  “Because in China I can’t do the thing that I do best here- being ethnic.” When he started talking about all men being created equal and health insurance, I didn’t think that it was as funny as some of his other stuff. He didn’t do as great of a job as he did handling some of the other topics.

  “Well actually, I’m thinking that the only way you can be more badass then that is if you take the Nobel Peace Prize money and give it to the military.” Wong referenced Obama’s acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize whilst conducting two wars. Yet another sensitive topic handled well. I laughed so loud!

  “Life is kind of like peeing into the snow on a dark winter’s night. You probably made a difference, but it’s hard to tell.”

  “I was like wow. Fifty percent of marriages last forever.”

  “I have a quick solution for global warming. I will switch from fahrenheit to celsius. It was 100 degrees, now it’s 40. You’re very welcome.”

  “I will text our allies just to say hi and I will text our enemies while they are driving.”

  This was a very entertaining video and I delighted in Joe’s sophisticated humor. He did such a great job of making cultural and political jokes that weren’t too complex, but still very witty. Bravo Mr. Wong!

• 20. Anthony Kallioinen  |  February 20th, 2011 at 1:12 pm

  This guy is hilarious. It’s good to see that people can have a sense of humor about American issues to facilitate trust and start conversation about larger issues.

  Favorite jokes:
  ‘I think journalism is the last refuge for puns.’
  ‘So my campaign slogan would be: So the American people are suffering, Hu cares.’
  ‘I will eliminate unemployment in this country by reducing the productivity of the American workforce. So two people will have to do the work of one. . .just like the president and the vice-president.’

  ‘Son, once you are the president, you are going to have to sign legislative bills in English and talk to debt collectors in Chinese.’
  This is a great, humorous way to talk about how much money we owe to the Chinese without appearing threatening. This man is very clever.

• 21. j hurley  |  February 22nd, 2011 at 3:50 pm

  That was some funny stuff. At first I felt that he may be a little out of his comfort zone with that audience, but I was totally wrong. Most of what he said was very funny and the best part is that a lot of it is true.
  You really have to give the guy credit for nailing a stand up like that especially when considering he’s only been a U.S. citizen for a few years.

• 22. Tim Easton  |  February 25th, 2011 at 5:09 pm

  Joe Wong is hilarious! He had me laughing the entire time. I was extremely impressed with his ability to integrate jokes about US culture into his routine after just recently becoming a US citizen. He talked about the World Series, the Olsen twins, Brad Pit, Angelina Jolie, and Jerry Maguire in his stand up. I know he has been living in the US so he is exposed to these things, but there is no way most of us would be able to go to China and make the same sort of jokes about their culture that he made with ours. He also did a good job balancing the personal jabbing jokes with general comedy. When the camera showed the audience it was interesting to see how many people laughing. There were a lot of people laughing, and then others who you could tell wanted to but were holding it in since what he was saying was mostly true. My favorite joke was his reason for staying in the United States, “because in China I can’t do the thing I do best here, being ethnic”.

• 23. Randy Camat  |  February 25th, 2011 at 8:19 pm

  Joe Wong is the man. I can’t imagine doing this on the flip side. Although there were a few dead spots (in my opinion), he did an excellent job in capturing the audience. It started a little slow to me, probably because I didn’t know the guy, but he gradually got my attention. My favorite part of his bit was his segment on becoming the next president of the United States. I loved his analogy of life “as peeing into the snow on a dark winter night…You probably made a difference, but it’s really hard to tell.” So funny.

  From my experiences of viewing the United States from the outside (Philippines), people see America as a place of opportunities to make your dreams come true. And more importantly, it gives them the opportunity to live a better life. I’m not sure how other countries/immigrants see us, but one of my friends studied abroad in Germany one summer and was made fun of by students from other countries (I definitely remember him mentioning Australia) for being American. One of the comments was all we eat is junk food.

• 24. Ben Raymond  |  February 26th, 2011 at 2:14 pm

  Wow, I never thought I’d see comedy on C-Span 2, much less comedy that was actually funny. I thought Joe Wong was hilarious and did an excellent job in front of such a high profile audience. While most of the audience found his performance funny, you could tell that a few were not sure if it was ok to laugh. Joe Biden was a good sport and it helped that he could laugh at himself. Wong did an excellent job mixing in stereotypes and American policy and his timing was perfect. I think it is a very good thing for the Washington crowd to be able to laugh at themselves every once in awhile.

• 25. Tara Millard  |  March 1st, 2011 at 6:08 pm

  Joe Wong is my hero. I am not sure if it is what he says or how he says it, or even the fact that he is a recent Chinese immigrant, but this man is hilarious. His knowledge and understanding of the United States surpassed mine, and I was born and raised a US Citizen. Perhaps an outside perspective is an advantage in understanding what makes a country tick.

  I could quote Joe’s jokes all day long, but I will stick to my favorites.

  Joe understands the culture of United States, as demonstrated in his joke about texting our allies, and texting our enemies while they are driving…. “OMG” “LOL.”

  Joe understands the role of the media in the United States as demonstrated in his joke about C-Span being his favorite station to put him to sleep, and if that fails, there is always C-Span 2 and 3.

  Joe understands the role of politics in the United States as demonstrated in his joke about Obama being a “bad-ass” due to the fact that he accepted a Nobel Peace Prize in the midst of leading two wars.

  Joe understand the prevalence of the rich and the famous in the United States in his joke about decreasing productivity in order to increase employment in which he mentions the Olson twins…. Two people needed for one job.

  Joe Wong understands the United States better than I do, and if he could get the majority of a very stiff crowd to laugh out loud, I’m not sure who he couldn’t make laugh. I hope to hear more from him.

• 26. Kyle R.  |  March 6th, 2011 at 9:12 pm

  I found this to be a really funny video, which was completely unexpected. Joe Wong definitely understands the American culture enough to make fun of it. I like how he covered a variety of topics which displayed his knowledge of our culture and history. I can’t even imagine being in his situation and having to do this in front of the Chinese government. I wonder if he writes everything himself or actually has people to assist him in coming up with jokes? Regardless, it was a very interesting clip that pokes fun at the American way. I also enjoyed how he understands and utilizes the Chinese culture stereotypes in his jokes as well. He definitely knows what he’s doing.

• 27. J Vail  |  March 14th, 2011 at 12:43 pm

  Joe was great; I am a fan now as well. His jokes were poignant and very funny – at times I felt like the audience response wasn’t enough for how hard I was laughing. What was also impressive for a non-native speaker is how quickly he could think on his feet like American comedians – I loved his response to the audience after he said he went to Rice; “That wasn’t a joke… until now”. This reinforced my belief that one of the most important human traits you can have is to be able to laugh at yourself, spanning across ethnicity, age, income, etc. There are so many nuances and stereotypes all over the world it is valuable to be able to find the humor in them instead of taking offense. I credit Joe for his timing and presence at the RTCA dinner – I really doubt even our best comedians, even trained in mandarin, and could get the same response that he did in China. The non-overlapped part of the Letterman skit through Joe’s website was also hilarious… “I’m not good at sports.. but I love parallel parking”.

• 28. Chris F.  |  March 16th, 2011 at 5:59 pm

  Funny video! Joe Wong has a good understanding on wordplay and social quirks of Americans that makes good fun at ourselves. That takes a lot of guts to understand both your own culture and the culture of your new home country, and to make comedy out of it. It is interesting to hear perspectives from different people, especially when they are from a different culture and society. But it is even more interesting (to myself) to see how fast they assimilate and understand American culture and know it better than I do. I think it might be harder to reverse it in China, given the cultural rigidness of society. But I bet there are people who would love a good laugh too.

• 29. JP Salazar  |  March 18th, 2011 at 12:16 am

  This guy was really funny. I really have to hand it to him. The ability to stand up in front of a group of people that you have no real cultural connection to and be able to get them to laugh is not an easy task. His sense of timing and wit were really strong. His take on American culture was quite entertaining. As someone not from this country he was really walking a fine line with the people in that room. It is not easy to poke fun at a situation without overstepping the boundaries, especially if the comedian and the audience do not have similar backgrounds. I could see many people in that crowd getting easily offended by a foreigner joking about the American situation. But that is where Joe really shined. He had a perfect balance of lightheartedness as the ability to cut down issues that we know are ridiculous and ripe for humor. In order to do this, he needed to have a really strong grasp of both American culture as well as understand how he would be received at that diner. I find it very hard to imagine trying to do this myself in China. I would be so afraid that I would overstep my bounds and offend someone that I doubt I could be funny. Joe, on the other hand, not only understands the issues that are going on in America, but he also understands people’s sensitivity to the issues and how far he can push them. Great job all around.

• 30. Omar Pradhan  |  March 18th, 2011 at 1:41 pm

  Great fun! I needed that after the heaviness of the last few posts. His jokes, much like Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert help us to appreciate that which we are too immersed in to see for ourselves. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to see an “Employees Must Wash Hands” sign without laughing to myself and thinking about Joe’s joke;)

• 31. Kevin K.  |  December 29th, 2011 at 12:06 pm

  Hilarious. Obviously smart comedians like Joe are too few and far between. He had some great jabs at the president, America, and our relationship with China. When one thinks of China, I don’t imagine they imagine a country ripe with comedians, which makes what Joe did in his speech that much more amazing. I could not imagine myself speaking to Chinese officials in such a way … I just imagine I would never be heard from again …

• 32. Vladimir  |  December 31st, 2011 at 8:21 pm

  After watching the video, I can’t really tell how Joe Wong sees us. I was hoping to hear more jokes that could only have been written by a new Chinese immigrant, but many jokes sounded as though they could have come from someone else. He kept it light, but he had a difficult job to do – delivering material that he and the audience would find funny. I can appreciate how difficult it is to do a comedy show in front of the vice president of another country.

• 33. Daniel Fleek  |  January 2nd, 2012 at 1:40 pm

  haha that was really funny. I liked watching how differently the attendees reacted to his jokes. Sometimes, some of the people looked annoyed, but overall, all of his jokes were pretty funny. I really enjoyed the text message jokes and the marriage jokes. I was especially impressed with Biden and his ability to laugh off a joke about him. If this scenario was flipped around and held in China, I feel like the crowd would not find most of the things he says as funny.
