Holy Shit, "RAIN" was on the Colbert Report!

This is the second post in a row that I decided to begin with "HOLY SHIT." Well, I'm really excited that Colbert's long-time nemesis, Rain, finally came onto the show. For the unfamiliar audience, Rain is a major Korean sensation. He sings, dances, and acts. He's a really popular Asian artist. Well, Stephen Colbert has always treated Rain as his nemesis because he almost always gets beaten in the popularity poll on websites or select magazines. Well, Rain finally came! Take a look, folks. It's the second video, but the first video sets up the rivalry.





"RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The Big Colbert Philadelphia Episode!

For the non-Colbert Report watchers, Stephen Colbert took his show to Philadelphia recently. Many people don't know this, but I am a member of the Colbert Nation. I love Stephen Colbert and everything he says is absolute dynamite. When I saw him live about a year ago from today, it was possibly the best live performance I have ever seen. What people do not understand too is that Stephen Colbert is not playing himself. Unlike Jon Stewart who is basically playing stand up with his hosting duties, Stephen Colbert is actually taking on a persona. Before the show, I noticed a couple things. First, he is much shorter in real life and he has some wrinkles. However, he is also more serious and more solemn than other comic hosts. During the question warm-up, he was funny, but he was oddly reserved at the same time. When those cameras hit, he was someone else. Like Jim Carrey in the Mask, he became absorbed in his bit. Really Incredible Stuff.



Hillary Clinton wasn't really funny.



John Edwards was really funny. I guess with less pressure now, he can relax and play along with gags.



Ah, Barack, you pleased the world when you mentioned that Bears are our worst enemy. BUT, there are plenty of Bear advocates out there too. Hope you didn't split your voting party!

Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert Teach Us to Drink Responsibly

"Drink Responsibly"

"In one evening of drinking, Steve Carell lost his motor skills, judgment and inhibitions -- and ultimately threw up in Stephen Colbert's car on the way home."

The Comedy Central Daily Show Database is a GREAT RESOURCE for laughter. When Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert worked together, they were just an unbelievably hilarious duo that were unmatched. They played very well of each other. It's also interesting to see Stephen Colbert in a non-Colbert persona. It is important to keep in mind that this Colbert Report persona is a manifestation of many years of work on the show. Carell is just PERFECT in this skit. Expect more clips from Comedy Central in the future!

Stuff that Asian People Like

Inspired by the "Stuff that White People Like" Blog, I thought about the Asian populace. What do we like? Can I do it without being racist or offensive? Well, here is an attempt at one thing that we DO like. Keeping in mind how awesome that blog is, this is an EXTREMELY modest attempt.


Eating Stuff that White People Avoid like the Plague

As an Asian-American, I always find myself with people that cannot stand the cartilage in their Beef Noodle Soups, the oddly bland texture of tripe, and the difficulty of eating chicken feet. Hell, most Americans can't stand eating Kimchi (seasoned fermented cabbage). Well, Asian Americans will lovingly embrace these products with unparalleled zeal. For whatever reason, we will gulp it down with a satisfaction that practically damns the "white" foreigners for their inability to have the courage or the desire to engage in our ancient practices. Why? Is it the taste? Take it from this Asian American, YES and NO. We do enjoy the flavors of these odd-ball products, but we truly enjoy rubbing it all your faces (you...being the white man). In our own odd way, it is practically our own way of competing with white people. I can't tell you how many times we all enjoy waving Kimchi around like Lex Luthor taunting Superman with Kryptonite.


Take that, white man! Take that! Due to our superior Asian ego, we will laugh and taunt you. Sure, there are some Asians that won't vocally make fun of you, but they are using their "inside voice." This inside voice is like an Amy Tan novel that shakes its head and says, "what a silly white person." These are the little kicks in our otherwise, "Asian" lives.
