This still blows my mind how Peppa Pig is a fashion symbol and associated with gangster life in China idek it's just hilarious. 7 year old me would have never imagined this happening lol

3:27 "The cartoon is popular among girls because they like cute but ugly things" 😂

i'm from the uk and i live in China now, and i've seen more peppa here than i did back home 😂

Peppa the Mafia Pig sound so badass. Make this happen. 😂😂 I really laughed so hard when they say "gangster" on Peppa. Hahaha

1:20 "Oh no wonder! Her brother's name is George. A lot of British have that name" haha I thought so too.

When I went to Shanghai I saw so many Peppa Pig Gucci shirts 😅They were low-key dope I really wanted one.

wth people their age wear peppa pig watches and necklaces with no judgement :,) *TIME TO MOVE TO CHINA*

Because 2019 in Chinese Calendar is the Year of the Pig!

Ugh I'm so sick of Peppa Pig. Her popularity even pervades Hong Kong. Whenever I'm out with my girlfriend and she sees Peppa Pig she has to buy some merch for her niece. The "craze" has infected her mother too. I can't go out in the street without seeing Peppa Pig.

5:05 is a good part to see what the Chinese think of their own government. Some question it, some suspect a deeper motive, and others defend it absolutely. A good variety of opinions, and definitely interesting to watch! We should all be open-minded and think critically about our countries :) Super fun video overall!

“gangster ” is not an accurate translation. The more close one could be “grown-up”. This is because although Peppa Pig has been trending in China for a year or two, very few Chinese have actually watched the cartoon. Most people, including myself, don’t know the content of it, we only see and knew the pig in memes. People celebrate their childish self by using the pig’s key chains, wearing cheap plastic watches, even having tattoo stickers with friends as this shows their attitude of refusing to grow up.

I’m now gonna call peppa *gangster* :,)

What I'm learning from this channel after many years of watching; *Interviewer* : " Where is this from?" *Asians* : " America?" *Americans* : " China?" X'D (Just wanted to add that Peppa Pig is a damn savage, at least in English, no wonder people say she's gangsta lol Just look up " Savage Peppa Pig" and you will see what I mean.)

Everyone in this video is really attractive and well dressed... China is over there swagging out... I love it

*Them chinese are stylish!!! Danggggg!!!* 😍😁🤟🏻🖕🏻👍🏻👊🏻👍🏻

SHE’S GETTING RECOGNITION GUYS :,) IM SOOOOOO PROUD OF HER :,)))))))))

I cracked up when the guy said my mom really likes it 😂😂😂🤣

As a Chinese... I think it’s just a meme..... XD

Next do: "Why winnie the pooh is leader of China"

Chinese people are so wholesome. ❤️

chinese memes

Can you ask the Vietnamese what they think of the 2nd Trump-Kim Summit? Edit: Thanks for the Love Asian Boss! I was wondering, could you possibly interview South Korean War veterans from the Korean War? Are there a few still alive?

*Watches Peppa Pig* *Listens to Ice Cube* GANGSTER RAP MADE ME DO IT

Hello Asian Boss, could you please add Chinese subtitles for those who learn Chinese through your awesome videos?

Drake meme format: Gucci Drake:Nah Peppa Pig:Yea

Wait Peppa the Pig is British 😲. Peppa is the new Hello Kitty

Omg yesss been waiting for a video on this LOL

If you had to guess what's the most famous British export to China, what would it be? Opium, we haven't forgotten but Peppa too

I'm from England, UK. There were issues with Peppa Pig here years ago, because it teaches children to not listen to their parents, to make messes, and have bad attitudes. It's no different to a lot of our other popular kids tv shows though, like Dennis the Menace.

Happy 2019! Gangster Peppa Pig in the house! Brr!

I thought Peppa Pig had become increasingly popular in China mainly because this year is the Year of the Pig, and Chinese New Year celebrations to commemorate the arrival of the Year of the Pig had occurred a few weeks ago.

MY SISTER PEPPA MY FIRST EVER BFF BE GETTING SOME LOVE FROM CHINA 💜💜💜😂😂😂

Yes, My Favorite Cartoon character.. I still watch with my Niece.. Even though I'm A Meds students in college & Not from Chin, but still... No Shame in Here. Plz😂😂

0:53 “ my mom really likes it.” 😂😂

Oh my god. I'm grown ass adult Chinese who has lived abroad for eons, but I started loving the Peppa Pig character so much, just on my own. When I went to a trip to China last year with my family, I was in deep AWE at how popular Peppa was in China. I even bought myself a Peppa earmuff there and I've been wearing it through out the winter!!!

WOO PEPPA TAKE OVER THE WORLD

The dub in French was so good when I was young that I thought it was French lol but Peppa must be making hella money damn

I was born in the year of pig and sadly, I'm not wealthy. So guys and girls in China, you can get off your boyfriends and girlfriends, let them rest a while. BTW, I thought Peppa was a drug dealer, there is even video on RU-vid showing that.

Sooo were all my brits at!?!

the cartoon was appropriated by adults, much like the way Pepe the Frog was appropriated for political purposes on the West. The gov't ban was associated with the proliferation of adult-themed memes NSFor kids.

this is shanghai……

Guess my niece & nephew were onto something.

"What's the most famous British export to China".......opium?

super fascinating. thanks, AB!

This was so fun to watch. Those people spoke well.

Peppa Pig is pretty popular here in the U.S. I enjoy listening to these nice people speak chinese, it's such a beautiful language.

Yo... he said „hit the streets of Beijing“ but... they’re filming in Shanghai.? Okay no hate it was just irking me😂😂

MY GIRL GETTING RECOGNITION 💕

That was fun .....didn't even know it went arround the world lol ...thanks

Gangster Pig（社会人佩琦）🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

*iconic*

So what you're saying is, if supreme and Peppa pig did a Collab China would go crazy?

LOL，the second thing which British export to China after Opium😂

2:46 bruh, she hit him XD

I’m from England and I recently visited China and I was surprised to see so much Peppa Pig merchandise and posters.

'英國' is UK not England; England = 英格蘭. You need a better Chinese-> English translator. What is he/she doing

Lol peppa pig was my Childhood How did nobody know it was from the uk :o

1:41 this dude 😂

Why is the pigs eye on the side of it's snout?

As an asian brit this is quite funny to me 😂😂

这是个meme哈哈

I’m done. I’m done with the world. I grew up with it but my mum hated Peppa cause ‘she was too cheeky’. Edit: I’m a bit shocked they didn’t think it was British. There legit an episode of Peppa meeting the queen who was the only human

And yet in America, we have Pepe the Frog. Sigh.

that trailer is absolutely wonderful, I'm telling you, go watch it! (edit: I don't know if there's actually English subtitles for it lol)

I started showing Peppa pig to my kindergarten students after their lunch. They were just glued to it. Within a few weeks, half of them had parents who bought them peppa pig clothes and bags. Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol are 2 of the most popular cartoons for Kindergarten students.

that's because the young (probably spoiled )generation are more willing to show their childlish side and not be outdated even as a 30 year old. At first , it became viral when someone made spoof video of peppa pig, contain adult content like gangster. Then it becomes a subculture symbol, contrast with cuteness

My niece loves Peppa Pig both are so cute 😂

Peppa pig is quite popular among the children in my region ( Nagaland, India), the family values and non violence as well as the obedience’s of Peppa pig towards her parents symbolises our society, the cartoon is very simple and classic so most parents who wants their children to grow up in a more unaffected media influences likes their kids to watch peppa pig, my nephew is also among them. 6 years ago while I was studying in the Philippines, peppa pig was quite popular and I have seen the kids who have watched peppa started speaking British English and rich vocabularies. This is a very good cartoon for kids, though kids should not watch it beyond the limit and get addicted to RU-vid’s and videos.

Peppa 小猪帮我学汉语，练习听力 )

I remember when I was in 7th or 8th grade and for some odd reason Blue's Clues was extremely popular. (this was 1999 to late 2000)

I'm sure that the "Momo Challenge" will soon arrive in China because of peppa pig

When I taught English in China this was the one English show they were familiar with and excited about...they were high schoolers

I just back from shanghai last Saturday , Peppa is all over , candy , chips , drinks , toys, you name it , even in Yu Garden she is every where , but since it is all dubbed in chinese , no wonder they don't know she is from UK , my kids watch peppa for study english and it's fun

Jasper is undeniably hawt 🔥🔥🔥

It has sort of become like a meme now 😂 Like kermit the frog

7:36 Taking about wanting to get in a good university but this guy want to earn a lot of money lol 😂😂

I read it as “Pepega pig”... I’m a Pepega

Given that it's the year of the pig and pigs represent luck, it's no surprise that Peppa Pig is popular in China these days. I never got into Peppa Pig at all, but I am aware of such a character. I've never actually seen a single episode of it though.

Peppa pig is my idol 😝, she’s so rude lol Hahahahaha

This was interviewed in Shanghai not Beijing!!! The background is the biggest Starbucks in the world

Because Peppa Pig is very scheming, very gangster, not like a kid

because peppa is made as many emojis. I like peppa because the TV sets are really good

This is the funniest yet stupidest thing I've seen in a long time

tony stark hv one too, "peppa potts"... sorry for the dad jokes

In Italy it's famous among children, but not as much as in China

At Brazil, the success is huge!

Peppa pig was my niece's favorite when she was 3 years old. She is now 5 years old and has moved onto something different.

In fact, ‘chav’ might be a more accurate translation than gangster

as a chinese born in singapore, i can understand where they come from. but it's so fascinating, my younger siblings watched peppa pig as well but it was simply a cable show from the end 00s hmm

*Peppa pig is Swaggy*

In China you ain’t getting judged for watching that (at older age) 😂

In the russian-speaking internet community peppa pig is basically a viral meme material Or at least it was some time ago But I don't remember any dank memes with peppa in english, or is it just me

Peppa pig cartoon is cute.I can't believe how popular it is in China. I watch it here in the Philippines because of it's british accent. Haha

It's pretty popular in Finland too, i have a 4 year old son and he is watching it almost every day, also at he's daycare, i think every children has something, a toy or something else from Peppa. Althoug here it's called Pipsa Possu :)

As a person coming from London who grew up in the 2000s, this is..... extremely strange.

Peppa Pig is my favorite *anime*

Two things: 1. I’ve never heard of Peppa Pig. 2. It doesn’t look gangster at all, lmao 😂

Cadicarus is gonna be pissed.

Where have I been that Peppa Pig is a blank to me?
