White Guys Stun Entire Barber Shop With Perfect Chinese 

I loved your hair cut very clean cut and sassy ..

@@xxzzy2039 classy i guess

hello notice me

love your Chinese

Do you ever take a group of people into Chinatown for one of your videos

I thought people went to get their hair done to talk about themselves because it's cheaper than a shrink?

Donny 💯 Very true

@@susann.1618 Only yats lol

You didn't even need a haircut but I guess you needed it.for.the video

Be on that laoshu secret agent shit

Not wrong 😂

Gilf hunters squad ?

That was the best line! 😉

The guy was jealous 😂

He’s right. This was interesting the first time I saw it, but it’s time to get a new schtick.

ironic that you used a *word* incorrectly :P

@@L33PL4Y fixed for ya big homie. autocorrect is a bitch (it just tried to change “fixed” to “foxes” wtf man?!)

Cuz he’s cutting his hair & needs to focus

Thats a sensei right there not phased

Fr😂

It's funny because he seems way more awkward when speaking English than when he's speaking Mandarin

@@DietButter its coz as soon as people see he can speak that language they instantly open up

Yeah I think he’s pretty awkward regardless

@@ashtonking3412 yh definately but no doubt he will get a lot better, he talks to so many different people it think its impossible not to improve more

the sad part is that this "skill" should be 100% natural.

Looked like they were about to scrap.

Contanese people always roast each other.

Typical Cantonese family dynamics

Star Light RIGHT LMAOOO

yeah it's a sort of cultural thing done to lighten up the mood, they don't really mean any harm to each other so it's really fun to see

She's like that lady from Kung Fu Hustle with the perm rods on her hair.

Im wearing tights that I borrowed from your mum. I mean he learns chinese for a living. But still, an hour of study everyday and getting to engage yourself in a language is good enough to learn within a couple years. Thats how i learned spanish growing up

Im wearing tights that I borrowed from your mum. RU-vid pays... and if it pays, it’s a job.

@@Ismael916 lol

@@Ismael916 the lions roar

Why r u comparing them to a anime character that's kind of disrespectful.

@@lenadinero So if some chinese guy comes around and tell you, you look kinda like some Marvel Superhero... you would be pissed? Always how you mean it... Dont be a snowflake man.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, I think it's his outfit and demeanor it's really fucking cool

@@lebowski3748 a snowflake?? how am i bein a snowflake? u obviously dont think, there r soo many asian that dont like it when u compare them to anime characters

@@lenadinero its obviously a positive comment. And its his opinion, the first thing that came in his mind. Getting offended by this is just hilarious. I dont see any asian complaining here. Because you must be a very special snowflake to be offended by this simple "joke" / comment on the internet.

I thought he was going to smack that lady when he got out of his chair!

Bill Lol imagine the headline on the news😂

Lady was not having none of the man's nosence

@@Bill-vi1vp What kind of place would that be, if women were smacked for speaking their mind?

Bill nah they just like to 💩 on each other.. 😂😂😂

American Born ok??? Lmfao

American Born Sure, that’s true...but then rather than make excuses (“well, they’re only good because they just hang around Chinatown all day, but I have a job”), he should just say he doesn’t want to learn. Instead, he wants to act like it’s everything else’s fault instead of his. That’s the mindset of someone who will never improve. In order to improve, you have to (1) want to improve, (2) take ownership of your improvement and (3) don’t let inconveniences stand in your way.

lunelilyonrunescape 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Well said!

Your hair is perfect

that guys is the typical of "cannot swim then blame on his underwear was wet"

Ah,搵食,right?

I got the impression that he meant something else when he said they could "have a good time" in southern China. I'm guessing he meant to impress some local ladies there closer to their own age, although I don't think these two handsome fellas have any interest in that.

@@ParadigmUnkn0wn The guy getting the haircut is straight and married to a Chinese woman. The other guy is as gay as a San Francisco bath house.

It means "make a living". Other Asian languages use the same expression like Vietnamese which is "lam ang" (lam means make and ang means eat). Hell, even ebonics has a similar expression "make some bread".

@@themanwhosoldtheworld5350 "Made some bread" isn't ebonics. Bread was used as a word to mean money by beatniks back in the fifties.

lol he meant he can score and get laid my dude. If you didn't figure that out, you still need to learn the ropes ^^

Idiom in Chinese?

@@Demonhunte yo, Chinese here, originally from GuangDong ZhongShan and I have a Cantonese lesson for you. What that person said is "搵食" [wan2][sik6], Word for word it's 搵=find 食=eat. It directly means foraging but also more commonly know as an phrase for finding a job. Since you work to earn food so in a sense you're finding food eat. Hopes this helps and goodluck on your Canonese learning !

@@MinhNguyen-wz2wn give my comment a read if you're also curious and learning Cantonese

@@Demonhunte yeah, they were saying it like that bcoz there was a kid next to them

I think it took a while to connect they even changed languages becasue he speaks both languages and his brain took a while to catch up lol

He was also focused on blending the sides.

Maybe he has seen their other videos & knew he was being pranked. I notice a lot of people they meet have seen the vids but somehow didn't recognize them.

Thats how you know its a good barber when they focus on the blending over a conversation.

He was probably confused lol.

Corona Virus

They got it wrong for so long but I honestly think they're starting to really get it right

Kevin Conway 😂😂

😂 😂

And you did Kevin

I think it’s trying to use the right words for people who may not be fluent in English, whereas he knows that the people he speaks to can understand everything in Mandarin

than English

@@RobertAnhalt oh you’re right

The funny thing is you could even hear a bit of his Chinese accent when he speaks English even though English is his native language lol

Why are you asking people why you feel how you feel?

yet.........hahahaha

i was wondering if at first he might've been thinking, either: "am i just imagining this..." or, "wow, i really have become pretty good at picking-up on even the most 'nuanced' English..." ({; D ...!

😁

LOLOL

😂

True haha

🤣🤣

Amazing how the energy changed from the start to the end.

And Everyone Was Chinese Speaken. they speak fast as lightnin.....

I agree, that's a damn good cut...

Sunshine Soul Tarot On me

It's kind of stupid . There are some poor Chinese who never learn Mandarin slash Beijing dialect very well, so it is not too crazy that they speak official Mandarin better

paulinabalerina I love his videos haha

Yeah, same.

I clicked on a video just to watch what happened in the thumbnail. This is now the 4th video in a row I watch.

Lmao exactly what I said!!!😂😂

Same. All of a sudden this is a thing for me! Love these videos!

They just hang out in Chinatown all day long 😂😂😂

@Rebecca Hopkins I think he was taken aback a bit, but he mostly was able to keep it to himself and not show it so much.

Lol facts

Also, I can confidently say I've never seen a middle-aged man rock an undercut+ponytail this well!

He is the owner of the shop. I used to go there

Solid Snake that’s what I was thinking then the reactions would be better

Ya

Maybe like a small go pro.

Agreed. I have a question though. Why is your name Solid Snake when your profile picture is Big Boss?

@@codycollins7667 Good catch.

Alexander Pneumaticos ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KShi7FIGzy4.html

Alexander Pneumaticos i was literally about to say this lmao 😂

i think he’s just humble and wants a clickbait title 😂 seems to be working though, i can’t stop watching them

Also he usually only says this about his cantoneese

@Atheist Biologist thanks, I've worked with many different cultures and their conversation seemed very native in tone and structure, but if I move to new york for a year and then back to oregon people will be looking for the snakes I'm supposed to be handling to go with the words comin outta my mouth...but I was just going to say that if they had accepted those compliments and handled that one conversation any other way his haircut would have only been half done and an even stonier face from the barber demanding full payment and the face also says gtfo and don't come back, ever. But you also have to be willing to have your pants pulled down while everyone laughs and be cool about it if you want to hang, which they also did and participated in (blew my mind, some of that I wouldn't have got away with, even knowing the language). There are a few cultures that are MASTERS of hazing for social groupings lol and China is def one of them

Ikr he looks old but young at the same time 😂😂😂😂

Literally almost every asian ever

watermelon

@@deadaccdeadacc2134 not at all lmao a lot start to prune

You should've see my mom then...

Your comment made me realize the videos length is exactly 10:01 minutes lmao

Totally hot!

Are you kidding? Terrible fade! Horrendous cut. I'd avoid that barbers in the future dude

iro at least he/she is with a better person now

@Barack Putin I love the pfp but that’s mega cursed

Language breaks barriers

People all the same. Language is the only barrier.

@@kennyc388 What about cultural barriers? Would you eat a dog? :)

@@kennysandhoj Obviously, he means that all people are fundamentally the same. We all generally want the same things in life, right? If you interact with enough people from different cultures, you'll ultimately realize that the common qualities that make us human are universal.

@@cahinton. I used to believe that until I went to Muslim countries. We aren't the same

indeed it looks pretty good

Yeah, it was a neat cut .... silly me thought, at the beginning, that he would get a bowl cut (why?).

That Thursday I went to the hairdresser and after showing her that picture on my phone she cut my hair too short and and bad, like there were plenty of split ends.

Surprised me. Man its really nice haircut though

What’re you looking at? I doubt the barber is doing undercut fades often but that’s 🗑

He's rockin that ponytail/fade

Lol typical hater, wont learn the language because he is lazy whilst he is sitting on his ass doing nothing when there is chinese people working hard and learning english everywhere

@fyoukim12 is that really the case?

I don't think he meant it in a bad way. I think he was saying that they actually have time to study/go to school due to the fact that they don't have to work.

He ain't wrong though hahahaha

Haters gonna hate? He is not wrong. Chinese people have to work way longer and harder than us, so obviously they won't be able to study new languages, art, science etc. like us. And these RU-vidrs invest all their time in china/chinese language so of course they can speak it. Sorry, no respect for these kids

My friend used to cut my hair for a decade hahaha

I go in everytime and say I dont care what you guys do. Just make it look alright. If I dont like it, it grows back oh well.

It always grows back. But it's a good look on you.

But the cut did end up looking pretty good on him though

@DeathWish lol, really?

Right, just give me the money kid.

Maybe it's common in Chinatown but xiaoma is really awesome in languages~

The Barber was more worried about coronavirus

@@tomjones7089 😂😂

What’s the issue with the word guarantor

wingpins died when I heard that😂

wingpins LOVED this too.

Yeah, a serious shortage of shame.

Tf does that even mean

@@lifelife2517 He's saying that bc he's not ashamed of his lack of English skills he will never try to take the steps to improve them.

@iro no I don't think so

He has to focus

He got that shaolin focus he ain't tryna mess up the boyys hair

He is not impressed at all 🤣

@j ason someone is being defensive lolol

Me too. The first video i saw was in restaurants, and i was like : «meh, look at me, i can speak chinese». But i change my way with this video too. I think that Gavin improve that feeling because he have sparks in the eyes too when he speaks to the shop's owners.

And also shows that other people appreciate their culture

Yes!!! Well said

One who really understands why this video is made.

He also speaks about this in some of his videos, how nice it is to connect with people with their language it brings him joy and surely it brings some of us viewers joy too

Rip that kid xd

Lmao

i think this ABC kid cant speak chinese

this happened 100%

SuperXtremeGamer [-TwT]- what does lmao means

crazy hes only lived in china for a year too

@@Mossbergg that's what he tells people... he spent his childhood in china and was adopted by chinese parents. That's why his name is xiaoma

Fateh Gyani i was talking about gavin, not xiaoma

@@fatehgyani119 thats a joke he tells, hes a jewish dude from NY.

yeah and xiaoma has a little american accent

You ruined it with the emoji

That dude was right. It’s easy to learn a language when it’s your job...

@@Tobal245 No, No, get back to Reddit. Back in your hole. Shoo!

Gavin Wheeldon right. You can’t ruin a comment with a friggin emoji smh

Kim KarTRASHian sToP mAkInG StUpiD pEople FamouS you ruined your own comment by saying “friggin”

lmao

gay jewish guys complicate a haircut by waitin til halfway through to speak in chinese to people who clearly don’t care

@@Seabass901 Is Xaioma gay? I can never tell. A lot of his friends seem to be.

I admit, it's really wholesome to see that often people will gather with them to exchange in Chinese (especially since they speak multiple idioms)

They’re saying their Mandarin is a lot better than theirs because those are cantonese speakers. Different dialects entirely. They’re not gonna tell xiao ma that his cantonese sucks either. They’re just admiring his Mandarin

@Kamil Debiola correct, my friend. 👍👍👍

Nothing like these white ritz

And the haircut does look good!

Vanessa, that was my thought exactly. Nowadays in LA you have these tatted up bearded barbers trying to complicate a step cut with all these weird angle cuts and three layered fades and this Chinese dude did it how i was taught forever....old school barber college. The new way is just to turn a $10 haircut into a $30 haircut and make a bunch of odd jump steps to get to the same place.

Yea lets just hope he didn't sneeze on him

TheUnexpected d 😂 that cracked me up

Eh fades arent hard I literally just wing mine. Imo you should just have barbers for special occasions.

So you guys are the people that have shitty haircuts huh?

LMAO

Matt H is he gay?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Gavin is totally flaming

@@OyaaaJay nah he's as straight as a circle

Looked better before the blow dryer

Cus ur a flamer

he looks like a window

Yeah. You look like a stud!

Yeah and the best part is that it only costs about 5 bucks in that area

tobii894 try German

@@freikorp7201 Hello, german is too difficult.

In Canada we have 2 official languages. English and French.

It is not that hard to become polyglot. I basically speak & write 4 languages [French, arabic, english and Spanish]. I also understand some turkish. My tips for you would be to watch a lot of tv shows in their original audio with English subtitles and to start reading books later on. Trust me you will pick it up really fast. Of course it would help to converse with your friends if they speak that language.

@@interiorinterior5036 easier than chinese for sure. Especially since it’s a germsnic language like English

CowTheBull thought I was the only one that read that😂

periodtt

Periodt. No cap.

tri0lgy fr thooo 😂

Not really did you not see those folk almost fight? 😂😂

@@hollyh7924 that was the womens fault for antagonizing, and they were being playful anyway, on both sides

@@dakotadirig7562 not really. She mentioned he should try to learn and he tried being serious saying they don't even work then because he realized she was upset that he was being rude right in front of them he jumped up real quick smiling to play it off because he didn't want to seem more disrespectful. Even if he did feel that way they're big on respect and the woman was not having it. He ran over there to explain himself real quick but wouldn't even go near her he had to explain it to the other woman and ease his way into bringing his point over to her because she got a bit fired up. It was funny though and she was right plenty of people work and learn languages so they can learn new cultures and communicate. Some just don't want to.

@@briannakelly26 Brianna K. you could tell he was hurt, but rightfully so. Even then, the "fight" shouldnt be considered as not being more social, etc, as the person's comment whom I responded to was trying to say

@@dakotadirig7562 Exactly. Totally agree everyone was being social and genuinely interested. She did put him on the spot there but he also quickly realized just because she did he didn't have to attempt to insult them because of it. It's so intruiging to watch and converse with all types of people. I love it. There's an Chinese elder I language exchange with on hello talk. He works and on his relax time chats me up. Good times. Though I'm highly reliant on the translator I enjoy these videos because it helps me learn to pronounce and pick up on non verbal cultural cues.

Barbers be focused lol

Lynne Ralston That’s the part I enjoyed

he understood it as 揾 = look for and 食 = eat/food, but when you put the two words together, it means make a living. Not sure if it's consider slang like "get that bread"

Pretty sure he's talking about getting some Chinese Taco...

What he means is to make a living there. To build their empire of career there. Does not mean to lok for delicacies there.

@@legendbowstriker3186 agree to disagree.

@Tech Guru413 "Best in chow"?

@Tech Guru413 It was just a play on words, you said dog meat festival, "Best in show" is a term in dog shows, chow is a breed of dog..also a term for eating.. get it?

hihithechicken thank you!!

that makes a lot more sense

Kinda native

Thanks for clarifying!

For sure lol

These two american are gays

MoveOn lol , yeah but we can guess which of these two spend more time in the poo poo platter 🤣

"Yeah, you'd get some good dim sum..."

He definitely did but realised there was a minor sitting in the other chair lol

@Yuvaez idk, he just unphased, some people are like that.

aye, sick pfp, love that album

That tells us the barber was like "What the hell?!? I'm just going to buzz away and listen to the whole conversations between Gavin, Xioma, and the clueless ladies."

He looked like a tall Jackie Chan.

HA!! 😂😅😅😄

Tiger_vii lol

Nah dude, he meant get pussy. I don't need to know Chinese to understand what he meant.

How you didn't get that is beyond me

@@EikottXD you mean I don't get to eat that??? Hahahaha

@@EikottXD Hold on.... it does mean to earn a living. Its a phrase in cantonese. Its just that most of us are rushing to pay for crazy flat prices and stuff we have no time to even bother abt eating *****.

LoL Just thought about that... "You Foreigners speak better chinese than we do" hahhahahah

In Asia, "foreigners" has a different context. Basically it means "not Asian" or the equivalent of "westerners". It's not tied to current geographic location.

They made her feel like home

Michael Yeah that’s on point at least at south east asian countries

Bloody gaijin

"we rely on our hands for a living" makes me think they give a lot of happy endings
