I felt this on a few levels
Yo I found Bud!
😂😂😭
Donald Glover’s dad is pretty funny
“So...where are you from?” Apparently my accent confuses people.
More woke comedy. Jeeze comedy central has really gone down hill.
I'd see more of this guy. Smart comedy for sure.
That's Robert Downey jr
Baron and Open Mike should have kept their show, Comedy Central. They're both geniuses.
Funny
The culture is holding yall back.
Can't wait til black history month is over. Stop using "comedians" who use their race as a crutch.
@michelle j Except when it's your opinion
@Logan Ray I keep insulting you because I can’t stand people who think their opinion is fact.
@michelle j That may have been his point, but nothing about it was FUNNY. I'm not arguing his "point," I'm arguing his "humor," which is mediocre at best. Maybe in time he'll get better, but as it is now, it's nothing to defend. And take note how I don't insult you everytime I respond back, unlike you.
@Logan Ray you do realize name dropping one black comedian and quoting one black movie is no different than saying “I’m not racist, I have black friends.” And anyone who believes they have to explain a cb4 reference, let’s me know why they didn’t get the bit. His whole point was if you’re intelligent and well spoken, you have some odd experiences sometimes. I see that would never happen to you.
@michelle j It's not funny. It's just another "comedian" on stage saying "I'm Black y'all, and I'm Blacker than Black y'all. I'm Blackity black black y'all." If you've ever seen the movie CB4, you would get that reference. And thank you calling me a racist and "gas lighter." You just proved my point that any criticism is perceived as racist.
This feels like ccsu is only profiling black comics. Seems a bit racist tbh
@Showout Gang yes
@Reality Check no
@DodoBirdie Or maybe having a month dedicated to any color is racist.
Or maybe because it's February
Mmmm maybe
*OUTSTANDING!* 😁
I like him
He looks a lot like Nwabudike Bergstein
Really?
I see why.
💥New COMIC wants ur OPINION. Am I FUNNY? Click on the Marshmellow Man and watch the Time Traveler.
he's good.
Maybe he's good at making a white audience laugh. 💁🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ I'm just here for support at this point. I can appreciate the diversity in comedy. It's all about finding your audience. This obviously wasn't for me.
I thought I was the only one!!! I can appreciate that he’s obviously intelligent and this was slightly relatable, but mainly just registered as not hitting the mark for me. I agree, definitely for a white audience.
I know what you mean. I was 50/50
@John Covington I see. Smh. Thanks for telling me. I had no idea. 😏😂
@Swiff Grizz he’s trying to censor your opinion with his own 🌚
@CAM QUEST so are you kinda agreeing with me or...? I'm just trying to see the point of this...
I feel like this guy doesnt know any black people in real life. Lmao
@My Dogs Best Fren your dog needs a new best friend
grizzle I'd go as far to say that you may or not have one bank accounts
@Rabbles the Binx Productions yes
Are you blind? Like, legitimate question.
he literally had a comedy central show showcasing black comedians
I have never been white tested. is that a black thing
@GREATLORDPOOH nein? Lol no idea what you just said
@Robert H emu zig zag
It’d have been more of a city, country, etc type thing, as there isn’t a specific narrow white culture, but more of a regional thing
If the behavior is interpreted to be part of a "culture", then it's a thing. If not viewed as cultural, then no. Indian tests, Latino tests, etc. You've surely been "white" tested but just didn't see it that way. Good on you for it.
here it is. a comedian who speaks directly to my experience
@RaymondGW welcome brotha 🙏🏾
Exactly. Meanwhile every other black person in the comments is like "this isn't real." But here, I have my tribe.
Yesssssss
This feels like he's auditioning to be a black guy in Hollywood. He did well if so.
You set my heart on fire.
Lmfao 😂😂😂 was that Hemingway 🤣🤣🤣
