I dont think it was too dragging, I think it was something he feels like it had to be said. Nonetheless, it shows Jokoy as a comedian in a different light and he even talks about his struggle with his first Netflix Special. Talking about the Filipino culture was also great, it puts a perspective of his culture for the viewers and even if youre not Filipino you would find similarities, I think its the beauty of immigrants, they share a common ground where the tools mentioned might be different but there is some part of the context that you've experienced. With all the negative happening in the world im glad he used his platform to tackle on some of the issues he feels passionate about, of course this might not be for everyone but for people going through it, the message he left about sacrifice and success was comforting, and as a fan. Reviewed by meganthegene 10 / 10 Loved it! How he uses comedy to bring light to the topics he brings up is just comedy at its peak. His point is that systemic racism is brought up by not having representations of other cultures, and he lived through it to tell the tale.Īmong the other themes are: empowering women, minorities, and deconstructing cliché topics. Truth be told, many Asians don't think that the bits he does with an accent is racist, but actually relate-able. But he told the truth via his experiences that many could relate. He compared his experience with a white counterpart, where an exec saw the asian accent as racist and the white accent was normal. At the time, it was probably the scariest moment in his career: trying to make it as a comedian, and risking all his livelihood in this one show.
Jokoy looks back and tells a background story about his first show on Netflix, and turns it into comedy. What would comedy be if it's not pushing boundaries? If it doesn't have a chance of offending someone? If it doesn't tell truth to it?
