In the world of Burr, Jim Jeffries, Chappelle, Gervais, and a few others... it seems difficult to standout in the comic world. I'll also admit that I haven't paid much attention to The Daily Show since Jon Stewart left. It just hasn't been as funny and the correspondents always seem like bottom of the barrel including the random segments I've seen with Ronny. There was a clip of this special floating around online that delayed my viewing of this special. The clip taken out of context definitely made it seem not funny... terrible choice for the person that put that clip out. With that being said, going in to this special I completely expected to get bored and turn it off. This set is hilarious. I found myself laughing at multiple parts throughout. Being a white guy, I didn't expect for any of the Asian perspective humor to land. Having an Asian fiance along with future in-laws... oh my gah, did some of those jokes land. The jokes are good but it was clear that Ronny is an excellent storyteller too. For the most part, Ronny is being honest in this special. I think it helps that he has lived in a few different countries. I'll be paying attention and I'll look forward to what this guy does in the future.

The second of my double feature the other day was this new comedy special from Ronny Chieng, the Chinese-Malaysian stand-up comic. I had seen that it dropped, but it didn't really register since I didn't know much about him, other than he was in "Crazy Rich Asians" and played a supremely unlikeable character (my least favorite from the books). After watching "American Factory" and an investigation about what happens when Chinese and American cultures bump up against each other, this was a nice and light (and interesting) segue, with hilarious observations and jokes about his experience as an Asian comedian in America and how different it is over here than in the states. Worth your time to check out, and another in a fairly long line of really funny comedy specials on Netflix.

Didn't ever like him on Trevor Noah's show, so thought I'd see what he was like on stage. Ronny Chieng really hates us and lets us know that. I've watched 6:38 minutes and have been nothing but insulted and not in a funny way. I was impressed that he came out in a suit. That's why he gets one star. If I thought of the people I lived among voluntarily as poorly as he does us, I would move back to where I came from. Not at all funny. Just totally rude and bashing Americans. I repeat: Wow. If I could, I'd get up and walk my American ass out.

Maybe Americans find different things funny to Europeans, but this was hard to sit through. In this standup, Ronny mentions a topic in a very "do you know this thing about americans?" Yet the audience applauds, when no joke has been made. Ronny continues to make the most lazy observations about the same things over and over. Then follows a dragged out repeating of the same joke. It isn't funny to hear "Americans = Lazy" over and over and over again, yet the audience laughs at every cue to laugh. It honestly comes off dishonest and seems fake, but maybe Americans find anything hilarious as long as they are mentioned. It's not quick-witted, it's not particularly observational, and it certainly isn't fitting it's "cynical"-tag. Do better.

This is similar to his other work, but than with some cursing/edginess. It is mostly pointing fingers and the "do you know this" humor for some quick laughs. I had hoped with this title, that Ronny Chieng would talk deeper into topics of the Asian community in America. The Asian community is of course doing numbers wise great (Financially/Educationally), but what are their deeper struggles. It felt that the amount of praising the Asian community only did a disservice. Giving a wrong image of how diverse and different they actually are. Every Asian is just a human being, not a superhero. (Except of maybe Bruce Lee) If otherwise Ronny Chieng was right Asia would be a place filled with people passionate about life and didn't have any discrimination on ethnicity, gender and religion. Maybe Ronny Chieng didn't want to tackle the deeper conversations, because he wanted the Asian community to gain some face... I could get some laughs out of it, but overall it was quite a forgettable experience. P.s. Just like everyone else here this is my first imdb review lol

As a hardcore Ronny Chieng's fan, I've seen some of the jokes before in his past shows here and there. But most of the stuff are new materials and kudos to the sharp accurate yet sarcastic spin on politics, Asian identity and America.

I had never heard of this comedian before,and just stick it on as something to watch with dinner. Found it absolutely hilarious, as did my parents that were visiting. We're not from the states, but still found the material really entertaining. Definitely recommend, and I'll need to find some of his other stuff online.
