Koreans Comparing Stand-Up Comedy In Korea VS U.S. | 𝙊𝙎𝙎𝘾 

🙌

l like the U.S is my favorite but korean comedy is also great😍

Korea, since you wanna Embarass USA w/ that Corny Elf. Should’ve used Katt Williams, Dave Chapelle, Bill Burr, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Joey Diaz, Eddie Murphy, Gabriel Iglesias, or Ralphie May. Any of those would’ve been G!

@@bryanbee1604 Gabriel Iglesias is so funny

the U.S. just has better stand up comedy. Especially since the crowd isn't as touchy. I like Kevin Heart, Kurtis Conner, Dave Chappelle, John Mulaney, and Chris Rock

Yea, the problem too many people have is they think they're literal stories and not just made up scenarios to make a joke

Yeah, there could also be some adaptation mistakes or differences and they won't hit the same.

yh, idk if it's a cultural difference, but his teacher disrespected him so in this context his disrespect was appropriate, and most Americans would think so too. Plus, his insults were hilarious, but I think in Korean they don't really insult others in such a way

He is just painfully unfunny. He’s like the mindless action film of comedy only dumb people enjoy it.

@@lucasbieber9051yes it is especially with cussing. I know they cuss but us Americans especially northerners cuss ALOT 😂😂

No, Kevin Hart is not funny at all.

Exactly… lmao 🤣

Not exactly but also yes. It's a black culture thing, if your momma hear you curse for no good reason you getting smacked, she's gonna get her hot wheel track or wooden spoon.

nah it's just because stand up is still in its baby stages in Korea. My country went through the same thing where initially, most stand-ups did whole sets about sex and sexual stuff because it was shocking and the first time we were hearing sex being described like that but as stand-up has evolved and grown pretty huge over here, sex isn't really the focal point of most comedy anymore even though sex as a topic still remains taboo for us societally...top comedians here have branched off to all kinds of topics that are sometimes even too niche, but now we have experience as audiences and know exactly how to act and what to expect at one of these shows...Korean stand-ups will also start doing more observational stuff about other heavy topics like politics, religion and societal issues when they build a big enough audience that would protect them from people that might get offended..

yea and in the UK comedy gets pretty dark at times lol

@@hiidupiidu3292 you wrote a whole essay to prove the original comment right

But they are comparing American Stand up specials to Korean improv sets. Even most US improv sets are about Sex because it's the easiest thing to get laughs from.

@@Carlos-ix2nm i never said that op was wrong, just that the audiences that watch comedy mature over time even if the society there doesn't..so really, what topics comics choose to talk about doesn't have much to do with what is taboo and what is not taboo..

"SHE AIN'T GOT NO NIPPLES!" takes me out everytime😂

FRRR HIS OLD STAND UP IS THE FUNNIEST SHIT

Different cultures, Its not just the cussing I feel like they don't really relate to the story ....same as I don't really relate to the Korean comedians, feel like most of the Korean comedians their jokes were corny.

@@zoluhwa3508 the first 2 korean jokes were very on the nose and not witty. But I read that stand up is barley getting traction in sk so its evolving. Plus these jokes are maybe popular cause its easy understand

She said she’s not too comfortable with a lot of vulgar imagery or words, no matter the culture. It’s fine. Some people need a lesser dose of things

@@Loveselfloveall lol she still laughed to those jokes about sex

How she can be conservative if she laughing at sex jokes but don't like cussing in a diff language??? I think she was just shocked at the disrespect to the teacher

They would never show Richard Pryor, George Carlin, or Eddie Murphy, and especially Red Foxx.

It kinda doesn’t surprise me bc I beieve there are so many Koreans striving to be comedians, especially back then.

Oh wow, they said what I said at the end lmao

They need to make a video solely on him, especially the whole video of what they showed

coz we just see it as a way of expressing strong emotions tbh

Yeah I didn’t find it that funny I guess Korean like those types of jokes 😮

yea they were very semi-semi-funny.

Pretty much in its infancy. Probably due to the culture. And time. They're pre-lenny Bruce level.

Yeah they actually made me cringe a lil cause there wasn’t much cleverness in the delivery and punchlines

Taylor Tomilson is a good rec! She hits everytime!

i love taylor’s content!

Aka Gabriel Iglesias.

Or Eddie Murphy during his RAW show. They would faint 😂

@@rai2423 They would have lost it 😂🤣🤣

yeah Also i like her honesty

For real, that part gets me every time! 😂

richard pryor too. I like kat williams as well

I've been waiting & hoping for a long time, for them to watch Bobby Lee. It would be best if it wasn't just his stand-up though, it's more his general attitude/humour.

agreeed

Funny enough, when i think about which comedian are easier to translate their material for other countries to enjoy, i can only name one, its Jeselnik. You dont need to live in the US or even understand the language to enjoy a good ol simple build up punchline comedy like his.

Reallyy?? I thought minimum was 30 minutes! 😮
