Hi Cynic. I don't really find it funny because it seems to me like the video is all about making fun of someone's foreign accent. I am not trying to offend you, I know that you were just trying to make us laugh and I thank you for that, ie the thought behind it, but really, think about what I said. I don't have an accent like that but I am also of Asian heritage.

Sorry if you found it offensive. In humor theres almost always a target, its how comedians write their jokes, they will target something or someone whether its themselves, someone's race, height, politicians, etc. It's just a part of what humor is.
I don't think it was making fun of his foreign accent. It's just that his choice of words, well if I did the same in your first language you might find it humorous.
