Are Vietnamese the Most Interesting Asians? 

Yo, literally everything y’all talk about with Vietnamese exists in my family. I got a Vietnamese uncle-in-law and Mother-in-law with felonies. And I got Vietnamese cousins with degrees and flawless criminal records. I love my Vietnamese Mom so much. I thought she was a Ghetto black woman the first time I ever heard he talk over the phone, then I seen her in person and was surprised. Also a lot of people don’t know Vietnamese are Asian in America for some reason 🫠. Y’all would have one hell of and interview if y’all were able to hear my Mother-in-law’s story; from them arriving in America to life in the hood here in America.

Vietnam has a very interesting history. It's an underrated Asian country

I have to agree as a Korean American my Vietnamese friends are the most fun and interesting Asians.

I agree with Alex, we need more stories of the Vietnamese assimilating into America. It's the story of pursuing the American dream.

Vietnamese people are the Irish of Asia . We have fought occupation for thousands of years .

Salvadoran-American here, met Viets in Vegas and California my whole life. Every single one has been cool as shit, love for my Vietnamese-Americans 🇻🇳

This was very insightful and thought provoking . I’m Vietnamese and growing up, I always wondered why so many Vietnamese people (especially men) had addictions to alcohol/gambling/etc. this makes so much sense now. There was so much suffering and hardships they had to overcome , and like he says our people don’t believe in “therapy” and mental illness never gets discussed or addressed in our culture.

We are running the show right now you bet your ass. Thank you to Dustin Nguyen and Ke Huy Quan for making a kid in small town KY feel cool as shit.

One of the best interviews Fung Bros have ever done. That dude is as real as they come. Instant fan now!

Its already been tested and confirmed: Vietnamese are the most interesting asians.

Vietnamese Asian Americans are more gritty and entrepreneurial than most Asian Americans that’s for sure!

This was a good conversation.

Vietnamese is so different from any South East Asian countries. Unlike most countries here adapted chopsticks from Chinese immigrants, Vietnamese have used them even before Koreans and Japanese. Viet culture is much closer to China than to Thailand or The Philippines

Woah woah. Vietnam didnt come out of China. China invaded Vietnam when Vietnam was already Lac Viet mixed with Tai Kra Dai, their own people not Chinese.

Alex spoke with authenticity and truth.

hahahaha I love the Asian pride ..got rice song lol. Totally grew up with that song. Love Viet people. They are loyal to friends and family, street smart, smart in academics, entrepreneurial, and they have delicious food. Still boggles my mind that Vietnam was able to kick out three foreign occupiers (China, France, AND U.S.). Tough, gritty people. ❤

Thanks for introducing me to this guy. He talks about real life stuff, no fluff. Good conversation, hope to see more content like this from the Hot Pot OG’s.

0:17 Truth be told all Asian cultures are interesting because they're so different from each other.And everyone has a story to tell. As an african Looking at asian culture it has been interesting so far

I have a gold chain necklace with jade Buddha just like that. I've been wearing it since the 80's. Is that a Viet/Chinese thing? My mother made me wear it for luck and protection growing up... Good conversations guys.

They look unique for sure, I like how they have their noticeable distinct look. But that title goes to the Turks and Mongols hands down, maybe Austronesians (South east asians basically) next on the list with their history of being ultra turbo vikings on steroids conquering prehistoric south east asia & polynesia. I'd say Altaic (turks, mongols, jurchens) and Austronesians have the most badass history, not only among Asians but in all of humanity no bs. The movie material potential on these peoples are just absolutely fucking insane to be honest. Like people don't know that White peoples used to populate central asia and Xinjiang, and Papuan type black natives used to populate south china & south east asia before both got taken over and replaced. All proven and even recorded prehistory and history. It makes sense why the west has such a grudge to the Yellow race in general, at a primal level where they get petty.

This Viet comedian guy seems cool! 👍🏽 I follow Sup Dawk, he’s hilarious.

"The guy doesn't even have a driver's license..." And Michelle Yeoh makes him get tea. 🤣 ""Why can't we get the real ABGs to audition!?" David Fung for President 2028. Inauguration about to be lit. 🔥

The first time I saw any vietnamese story it wasn't grand turino it was hey arnold. Hey Arnold had a character named mr. Hyunh he was a refugee who came over to America after the war and he works in a Mexican restaurant. There was a great Christmas episode where we learn he was separated from his daughter when the last helicopters were leaving Saigon, he gave his daughter to the soldiers and he came to America later. But he didn't know what happened to her until this Christmas episode and it was really good.

Im not going to lie...he looks like the DJ from Courage the Cowardly Dog but without the glasses. 😅

The Got Rice guy has a video of himself reciting the song in a restaurant couple years back. And get this, he’s a lawyer 😅 It don't matter, fuck the law, shit we break the rules.

Back in the 80s, the Việt gangs were rampant since that was a tumultuous period of survival in America. Btw, does anyone know where Việt rapper Khanh Nho is now? Is he married or alive?

I do agree with Alex on vietnamese making the language not palatable. I'm 100% on make vietnamese language sound more easy on the ear and sexy. That's why it's hard for me to watch romantic vietnamese movies. Because we're not used to formality and the gentle language to each other. Because a number of viet make the language sound so ghetto or heavy with the tone.

Central Asians are the most interesting Asians to me

Another great interview I really hope people get where the Fung Bro’s are coming from which is a Pan Asian American viewpoints. you have to have been involved or raised in old Asian American communities (Chinatown Japantowns) that were around during the civil rights movement or like myself an Asian American studies major to understand their vibe or to know where their coming…. from it’s an uplifting progressive intellectual one. I think sometimes people in the shows who come from singular Asian communities (ktowns little saigon etc) that formed post 1965 immigration act might not understand and may even feel condescended. There’s a huge cultural divide due to that. These guys are the real deal folks their intellect and self awareness is unmatched in the Asian American podcast community

Of course we are!

Can agree, as a first generation Vietnamese American my parents came over and struggled to open up a nail salon. My older sister went into the nail business. My brother dealt drugs and proceeded to join the marines. And here I am, the youngest going to college for IT 🤣

Advice to your guest, trying to please mainstream America is a deadend and a road to loserdom and supplication. Produce work, and have your audience be homeland Viets where the *mass* of your people reside. There is no *vietnamese-american* without vietnamese-vietnamese. The rest will follow.

Appreciate the interesting discussion

I don’t always eat dipping sauce but when I do I eat Squid Brand fish sauce.

Viets unite bby!

I’m viet, its all the ptsd

As Vietnamese American I feel truly "shelter." I always see myself as an individual and not part of a certain community. Your channel is very interesting & debatable.

great episode :D

33:09 Just speak softly, nowaday in Vietnam, that consider Polite, the other way you speak can be perceived as friendly or hostile, depending on the situation.

Want more shows like this.

du ma!!

There's no way! I met Alex in LA - rooting for ya, my man!

My gf is viet and she is the funniest person I’ve ever met (excluding myself)

As a Vietnamese myself, the answer is nah lol. Most of us are just regularass ppl ngl

The rich flexing Asian is so boring to see, he is right ppl aren’t comfy getting real and gritty. Unless it’s addressed and fixed, the darkness and trauma will just be glazed over with some designer .of course this is what happens when the entertainment is controlled, the mainstream won’t go there unless it’s their terms.

Vietnam invented punji sticks. Viet guerilla war tactics unmatched

Very interesting indeed. They might be terrestrial even 😂

Im viet and im going to say nah. I want to say my Korean and Japanese friends have way more personality

Hey Fung Bros, and to anyone that's reading, I was wondering if you could please address and/or spread the hate video where Theo Von says he would eat a vietnamese person. As a Vietnamese American I have experienced so much hate in this world for just randomly being born the ethnicity that I am and I'm just going crazy because of it. Not a single person chose to be born as who they were born as, yet others feel the need to put down and bash others down, to dehumanize them and say they would eat people from a specific ethnic group. I was just wondering if you could spread the word and bring the awareness to such hate. Thank you!

short answer. no. I'm talking about actual vietnamese living in vietnam. not vietnamese americans.

Stop asian vs asian division

Tom Selleck! Donnie Walberg! Ally Wong! THE GOATS!!! Yeah, man!

I don’t know about the most interesting, but boy, can they cut hair…

Is it me or are there a lot more topics that generalize specific Asian ethnic groups from this channel? Feels like creating even more division.

no people need to stop trying to stereotype countries as ethnicities as if it's not just another form of racism.

The most toxic* not most interesting 😅

Sun brothers : taiwanese gangsters actually look like boybands members in taiwan . The anerican brother was so annoying a.f

Tbh i never understood the vietamese stereotypes. Maybe because vietamese aren't that prevelant in the east coast nyc in particular compared to west coast.

Viet girls are high key the finest, coming from a Pinoy.

Yes. Viets are very interesting.

As someone that grew with only white people. Who are all those people he named ? 🤣

My god what is up with Asian trying to talk blacks yoh yoh these days ?! Even my 2nd son n his group of friends ..

I feel Vietnamese people get such a bad rep because of films like “Full Metal Jacket”, “Apocaypse Now”, “casualties of war” etc where the citizens are portrayed as peasants in a jungle.

The f*ck is this guy talking about? The Vietnamese languages that he's talking about is each different dialects. The Northern, Central, and Southern. The Northern sounds more "Blunt" and Southern, which he spoke, sound more softer. It is what it is. "Try to make it sound more catchy" WTF is this dude talking about, for real.

They can be hardcore

Shout out to Alex and the Trung Sisters! VIETNAM and Uncle Ho FOREVER!!

I don't think Vietnamese culture that much interesting. It's influenced by Chinese & I'm not happy about it. VN got invaded for over a thousand years by Chinese.

I dont know im the most interesting but im the chosen one when God use my voice to me saying Thank You God for the Life you given me in Nov 2021. Im still shock til this day. In this lifetime im going to a singer, rapper, top 5 codm sniper, nba player, mlb player, nascar driver, a playboy casino mansion owner and the greatest gift of all living forever that is just the beginning l!It all in God's timing! My time is coming soon! Im about to prosper!!!

When the Việt Cộng entered Saigon for the first time, they thought the toilet bowl was a sink.

No, far from it. Japanese or Koreans by far

Vietnamese aren't Asian though.
