[@jessekoskinen]

Just having a good friend, doesn't matter of what ethnicity, is amazing.

[@cynthiamsun]

[@ShozubonGG_2426]

preach this 🙏

[@q_q123]

Jesse Koskinen You're right but these are the just perks. Wink wink

[@crickcrack123]

Yes 👍

[@Triumvirate888]

Mike: "Go give your Asian friends a hug!" Me: "Okay!" (attempts to hug Japanese friend) Japanese friend: "NO! NO HUGGING!"

[@iicookiezxxcupcakez1260]

Triumvirate888 XD

[@hendraharianto4041]

Triumvirate888 lol

[@aarimdutta7338]

Triumvirate888 xD

[@setsukitheninja3752]

Triumvirate888 Same with me. My friends say that Asians have a problem with public affection and they're all Hispanic since I live in Miami. I just say no! We just never really grew up with a lot of hugs and kisses or whatever.

[@diyinventions9010]

Triumvirate888 My dad tried to bargain in Mexico once.... He made a hand fan 20$....

[@ArteoftheMist]

Dramas are like a black hole. Sucked in and can never leave...also don't want to lol

[@leslieramirez2979]

This is what happened to me but with Anime

[@marooma]

Yup dramas take it to a whole new level. You get introduced to many different languages and cultures too, as opposed to just Japanese although Japanese doramas are my fave :P I got into it without an asian friend, just an asian channel I got accidentally via satellite

[@ninjamaikeru]

Tat is so try I think I finish 2 n then I saw another one n instantly fell in love n watch lk 10episodes a dayXD

[@aerin5351]

Artemist not just dramas but also kpop ahahaha

[@all-that-glitters9367]

Haohan Zhao Tell me about it! You listen to one song that a friend recommends and suddenly you're a member of like 10 different fan cafes for 10 different groups and your crying over your bias or a member of a group enlisting in the military.

[@SaddlebagPreacher]

I grew up an Army brat on several military posts in the 1960's thru 1970's. I had Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese and Filipino friends. I never really thought "Asian friends" in my head, they were just friends. I liked the different foods if I ate over, except for Kimchi, never could eat it. I do like your videos, keep it up.

[@gogumadalpaengi]

I wish someone would appreciate my Asianness in such a way... :(

[@mt8956]

😕 I could appreciate having a Asian friend😉

[@all-that-glitters9367]

Stéphanie OkHee I would!

[@luckyparun1622]

hi ^^.do you want to be friend :)

[@Sarah-hc3wn]

Stéphanie OkHee I totally would!!! I live in a place with virtually no asians and it's sad:(( I'm in love with the Asian culture !!

[@abutteryboi]

Stéphanie OkHee all my friends are western 'Friends' are racist af

[@chill4322]

My African Uncle is the one who introduced me to anime

[@filipinodragonfruit8178]

One time I brought puto (rice cake) to my class I thought my non Asian classmates wouldn't like but.... ALL OF THEM LOVED LIKE I SWEAR THEY WANTED MY MOM'S PHONE NUMBER, SO SHE CAN CATER FOR THEM😂😂😂😂

[@khadinh5129]

The quality of these videos have been rising very quickly in the last few videos, keep up the great work!

[@mysticsone9469]

i try to introduce all my non-asian besties to kpop.. lol

[@lifewithleyley2330]

MysticSone♡ K-Pop is the best even though I don't understand it I still love it along with the Korean culture and language 💞

[@jasminesee7526]

MysticSone♡ me too

[@gadesindigo6503]

MysticSone♡ whats K-Pop?

[@hintonoriginal]

Mike, you look at lot like Jackie Chan. Chan is the man.

[@joshsinclair9992]

[@toastysroastys7622]

You can say the n word

[@hannahdazeley]

Mike and Dan! I am currently living in Shenzhen, and all my lovely chinese friends do this for me here! Going back to the US in the summer! Would totally love to hang out with you guys and have some yummy Sichuan or guangdong Huo guo! We love the food here so much!!

[@NTDOffTheGreatWall]

LyndauraFreitas Or 贝贝 me too I'm in NJ

[@2413Sandy]

LyndauraFreitas Or 贝贝 and a kid

[@Ella_Wong]

LyndauraFreitas Or 贝贝 also in NJ!

[@carrotstache]

99.9% of my friends are asian

[@Felimina150]

Most of my friends are asian. Lol

[@yamigekusu]

When I was growing up, I watched Filipino soap operas with my Filipina babysitters. I had no goddamn clue what anybody was saying (was never taught Tagalog or something) but it entertained me long enough to not be bored

[@taylordavis6895]

I'm Caucasian. I introduced my Chinese friend to anime. Lol

[@realfartsmella]

Taylor Davis A similar thing happened to me! I'm Filipino and Caucasian, and got introduce to anime by a couple of my white friends. Then introduced it to my Filipino friends, and now they're all obsessed with Naruto! EDIT: I just realized my Filipino friends were super white before anime. That's growing up in southeastern USA for ya.

[@AnimeStargrl15]

Haha I introduced my half Japanese friend to anime too!

[@awesomegamerboy4300]

Anyone Asian and now westernized??

[@imaphantomfan]

Oh guys, I'm missing so much my Asian BFF, now that we've been sadly taken apart for college.

[@Em-qy4yn]

Ana Luiza Rabelo Awww.. how are you doing so far?

[@blues3985]

lol I have an Asian friend and at our house we only get healthy stuff🙄 But she lives in my neighborhood so I just bike ride to her house and she has so much food and when her grandma comes she makes me taste her food to see if I like it😂

[@inyourarea3719]

I wish i had an asian friend😰💎

[@soyreinaJP]

I'm your Japanese friend! sounds cool?

[@jea-seo1333]

ルナ xxx I'll be your asian friend, but I like back rides :)

[@108mtsan]

ルナ xxx I will be your Chinese friend. Will always help you with math homework.

[@HiroshiKoto]

I can be an Asian friend for you we all will I'm sure! My moto is never let anyone in need!! ^^

[@GaGa51194]

^lol at you, Middle East is part of Asia. Anyway, I can be your Asian friend and talk weird shit to you all day long lol

[@increasethefitness8440]

Mike, I just want to say, your facial expressions are superb. Not saying it out of only this video but from all the videos from double chen show to off the great wall, you nail down a lot of facial expression that makes it looks authentic. Your theatre major has taught you well. How are you not an actor yet on the big screens? Probably cause Hollywood doesn't hire normal asians actors... they gotta always make them weird or stereotypical in order to make it that big. Anyway, Keep up the vid guys! Dan you have morals about relationships like I do. Truly respect that! Keep it up!

[@steph-dl7ye]

I think the best part is that we share food my only friends are Asian and then there's me a Mexican and when we go to school after Chinese New Year one of my friend gives me red pocket money. My friends also introduced me to anime Kpop and kdramas and EVRY Asian show now I'm addicted. They are best friends even if they always joke around calling me a wanna be Asian but I'm not T^T 😂

[@bellaleoncito7571]

Mikes chest has eyes👀

[@polychronio]

Hahaha u funnny

[@meme-hd4zx]

Your profile picture has eyes KIKIKIKIKIKI!

[@NinaHYahallo]

Hahaha

[@becausekpop1629]

+Diya Thapa and yours has a nose lmfao heheh

[@peaxches]

No need of an Asian friend. I have myself Proud to be a Chinese Aussie

[@melxtea]

Lucky, I'm Chinese but I wish I was Aussie

[@peaxches]

Aw really?Being an Aussie is fun and there's so many different cultures there. The bad things on the internet about Australia aren't true, we ( Australia) are very nice

[@lilyrabbitt4575]

You guys are so funny!!!!! Definitely deserves more subscribers.

[@SquishyJimin]

Most Filipino horror movies r just corny....not really any horror at all.... (Dont worry im filipino im not trying to offended any pinoys) ;D

[@ShozubonGG_2426]

This is actually pretty accurate lmao XD

[@eryalmario5299]

tru plus the bad acting

[@cocogoatpharmacy]

Yes! omfg 😂

[@cocogoatpharmacy]

oh and! ARMY is EVERYWHERE! HELLO FELLOW ARMY!

[@akilaalarie]

AYE ARMY!

[@Krakiz1st]

9th perk, if you want pirating done, ask your asian friend.

[@pepelo5209]

Mexicans also know how to bargain

[@unaware5002]

mexican power now their our food u can't beat we are everywhere

[@elizabethcasado1600]

My point EXACTLY!

[@kimshaffner4576]

Adding any person of another nathionality just widens your universe. And makes you that much richer. Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@setsukitheninja3752]

I'm half Chinese and half Vietnamese. My Vietnamese side has more tradition than my Chinese side. Since my Chinese side came from Jamaica, I feel like they've lost all their traditions.

[@Slimc74]

You guys are great. More people like you need to be heard. Too much division today. Everybody focuses on the negative. We need love, understanding, and eagerness to learn. We need to stop judging each other on what we had no choice. Our skin color, our places of birth, and our differences so we can learn and be honest. Instead now we just have fear and anger. Great job guys.

[@rubydubdub2965]

Most of my friends are asian and whenever the squad goes to one of their houses their parents feed us heaps of home cooked deliciousness

[@jbhiffsr324]

like ur display photoooo, whoviaaan ^-^

[@CoffeeCatGames]

I remember once when a classmate came over and my mom literally asked at least five times in an hour: are you hungry?

[@zephyrowner]

I remember when I was little and my Vietnamese Step-Grandmother was always trying to feed me and CONSTANTLY shoving coconut milk at me. It was interesting as she didn't speak any English and I only learned a couple words of Vietnamese.

[@shixshi]

I love your videos, have been obsessing over them over the last week! You guys are totally fun to watch. Please keep up the good work. The only question that came up in my mind several times is: Why do you use that stereotypical Chinese sound at the end of your videos? Is it really Chinese at all? Greetings from a Chinese-German!

[@EugeneJordan777]

You guys are great! Glad I found you on youtube ;)

[@acjammer1]

I love this video. Generally your videos are well thought out.

[@meganhe6386]

When you are having rice everyday but when your friend is over for dinner for some apparent reason which is very unlikely they just eat noodles you had for lunch

[@kristinahayes1919]

I constantly laugh when I watch your videos guys. I love that you keep making them and teaching us new things. And actually what's funny is for the Asian shows you showed a picture of My Love from Another Star....a show I just finished watching on Dramafever.

[@GeorgeWoopekOSullivan]

You guys are awesome!

[@SpilledTea101]

I don't have an asian friend and never have but I'm all these except the holidays. I really love asian culture and I've learned so much from this channel :) all my thanks to you guys

[@victoriapeters57]

OMG the cheesecake part! I've been learning japanese for a little while now and this is a world I will always tell people cause I think it's the cutest!

[@brandonnavarro7449]

"EVERYBODY SAY HEY" noise hero from my hero academia

[@amyl.2641]

kdramas, kpop, anime, chinese dramas:life... i kinda got my friend addicted to kdramas and kpop, but its all good...and my class to pocky and other asian foods... it just happens

[@tiger4thewin]

Asian friends are also super good tutors! As an Asian teenager myself, I like to help tutor a couple of friends about a subject I'm good at and they would help me in subjects that they are good at!

[@laylafoodwizard9505]

MUSIC, TUTORING, ADVICE,,ETC

[@aubreyvey]

You guys are awesome

[@imawannabeartist9333]

No wonder so many people want to be my friend Every friend I have always wants to come over when I go out or when it’s New Years

[@margaretdocena3932]

Ooo, a top 8! Very auspicious!

[@livingoctopus]

my friends and i are all asians, and we always eat together and if we think each others food looks good, we ask and we share

[@H34RTS4C4TSsS]

Hit the nail on the head!

[@trmac1446]

Kung Fu Hustle is a great movie. Keep going guys, good stuff.

[@crazyadam9281]

In the big picture Rorouni Kenshin isn't based that long ago it's based in the Maiji period 1868-1912. It's not like Berserk which I believe is based around the medieval time 5th - 12th century.

[@Xcorgi]

My best friend growing up was from Thailand. This was back in the 80s and he showed me and my other friends anime we'd never seen or heard of before. He had an amazing sense of humor. Hit name was Tui pronounced Too Eee. The funny thing was his moms name was actually Won Di. We kind of joked around that his family's names were number based. 1D, 2E, but then his sisters name was Anna, so that ruined the count. His favorite joke was trying to convince people that his name Tui meant fish hook. It was always hilarious to hear his mother yell at neighborhood kids in her yard in broken English screaming "shit damn you kids"! "Shit damn you kids"! Those were the only English curse words she knew.

[@carolinemeiser9619]

I have a Indian BFF and her parents are so welcoming and literally call me their daughter. They have to best Indian food too and you are always being bombarded by it!

[@MrPlutonicLove]

Number 3 so true. A lakeside grill party with few filipinos was a good party to me. Dancing, lots of food, everyone brought something, I the firewood since I lived in the woods lol

[@bekahmarques]

i love this video! that is so true, one of my asian friends is going with me to brazil and then I'm going with her to Korea during summer. i really like having a bunch of asian friends, they are the best!!

[@MirkAssassin]

Some of my best friends have been asian.

[@sheraserena3569]

Hiiii guys! Can you do a video on the different types of asian teas and how to drink them. :)

[@sam_moose]

I have this Asian guy named Blake so... He's the best friend ever! Btw he likes me soo 😊

[@LuLeMen]

I grew up with Korean, Chinese, Philippine, Hmong, and Vietnamese friends. Mad benefits across the board. And I taught them things too, like about tamale's, cherries, pumpkin pie, meat loaf, etc. :)

[@playoldgamers]

what about a homework buddy or a school group buddy. A's for days!

[@koooper3623]

RAY Sor well they're strict bud... they want the smarties.

[@jjma5894]

LOVE THIS LIST! One improvement, make it a count down. ;)

[@huffletuff7]

It is really nice having friends with different cultural backgrounds because you can learn so many interesting things without even having to try

[@KR-xx7cf]

All of my friends are Vietnamese and one of my friends mom made us scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, waffles, and it could all feed 40 people. Don't even get me started on what we had for breakfast...the food before was just a late night snack. I can agree with the bargains, never going hungry, watching Asian movies and shows,and getting an amazing experience with food. 😁

[@LoveBerry13]

When I first watched an Korean Drama it was a cultural shock to me because I am so used to the american, british and german tv shows (german tv shows are mostly aweful, just bad acting)

[@angelac.9205]

Nice to know :3

[@sarahchinda1652]

i love you guys....especially MIKEy chen.

[@aldenmcgrath9722]

perks of being an asian friend?

[@kellyschedvin5623]

Alden McGrath you are the person everyone loves when they get to know you

[@jacobbenedict244]

Number 6 & 7 is so true. When I was watching Korean Drama - The Producers, I picked up some knowledge which I use to communicate w/ my sister

[@elizabethh4855]

This is true of me xD I'm like Dan where I need an Asian friend or family member to show me the best places to go to eat and stuff.

[@arandomguy851]

Family member fact on #1 is SO TRUE! My aunt gives me food but not that much that much food!

[@mustardroshi418]

My frend told me about ginseng and cured my high blood pressure the she told me about facial masks and the best was oc food Also learned a new language Its awesome to have a asian friend

[@masterbrendan]

Whenever my friends comes to my house they never leave hungry, but usually when I go to their house I always leave hungry. I hope I'm the only one haha

[@all-that-glitters9367]

I loved having Asian friends! I got to celebrate holidays that my parents never heard of and of course that meant getting spoiled on most of them. The first time I celebrated Girl's Day was probably the best holiday I celebrated.

[@all-that-glitters9367]

All-that-glitters 93 About those dramas oh my. Watched the first episode of Love Rain with a friend and now I've seen well over 50 dramas.

[@cloudzharmony2457]

I'm addicted to Asian dramas

[@liss7232]

I was at my Korean friend's house and it was 10:00 pm and her mom was like "Want some ramen?"

[@littleloomer4759]

Let's do the sausage thing. I'm a red head but I still take a SAUSAGE!

[@littleloomer4759]

Ya I read books but they all about SAUSAGE!

[@littleloomer4759]

Oh my that was embarrassing

[@mandyzou8380]

I don’t need to worry cause i am Asian and all of my friends are Asian

[@Trogzzzz]

with the bargaining, my asian friend found a pair of head phones for $37 and originally $168 but also found on ebay for the same thing for $14.99

[@BaronTrumps69thAlter]

there was a sketchy staircase and my dad said this is the best restaurant my whole family hesitated then when we went up there was a traditional dance and free dishes

[@lettuce7273]

I'm Filipino. I told my friends about some of our awesome foods, like lumpia, ube and adobo and stuff. Then I mentioned pig ears and intestines cooked in blood. Haven't talked to them in a while.

[@PinkLlamaGrl]

For sure! I learned to use chopsticks from a Japanese friend at 8 yrs old and my BFF in high school introduced me all kinds of Chinese dishes I would have never tried on my own.

[@elviradrawing998]

The Silver Spoon, Mushi Shi, Squid Girl, and Sailor Moon are my favorites

[@emmee1281]

The foreign exchange student from China at my school literally became my best friend. After he leaves to go back home, I'm heading over to China so we can walk the Great Wall together :)

[@narutouzumiki5395]

Andy Chang oh okay thanks I'll change it 😮😄

[@Racye-bf7vn]

Talk about perks! I almost got beat up in an authentic Chinese restaurant because my brother was flirting with the female server. Mid-apology three more guys came out of the kitchen. Chinese friend to the rescue! Thanks, Allison!

[@TheZalor]

Holy shit! At 1:47, I've been to those places. They at least look really familiar. My dad isn't Asian, but he is a foodie. So same result.

[@gabriella0807]

Narutooo!!! Kensiiin!!! Haha, you're funny, guys :D

[@viviantang6451]

My dad bargains, my mum doesn't bargain as much, my sister is young and I bargain ... indirectly ... hehe 😁

[@faithnigeria]

he said "i was the asian friend to my whole school"

[@smileysunflowergirl]

Yeah, friend tour guide!! Didn't think of that! =P

[@AUR3LI0]

Anyone thought of Novelás (dont know how to spell it) whenever he was describing the asian dramas? 😂

[@lucydan5192]

This is funny, i didn't need an Asian friend to experience any of these. All one needs is the openness to learn about different people and cultures.

[@littledikkins2]

My very first playmate, when I was 3 and he was 4 was the son of a friend of my Fathers. This was back in the early 1950s so I didn't get the shows and movies (we still had round screened CRT TVs) but I got a lot of the rest of it.

[@Murdacon]

Little Dikkins so you're like 80 years old?

[@anderstood3253]

1:22 i love durian... *shrugs* I don't really smell anything from it either, is that bad...?

[@caitlyntaylor8370]

i used to have an Asian friend from Philippians, most of this is true but we didn't know each other for long and we got split up when we went secondary school. :(

[@Paulgarra]

Yup my that's my Asian friends one of my friends recently brought me to a Korean restaurants that was at the back of a Asian grocery store for lunch the food was so good and great value for money 😊

[@b1gm1k38]

I embrace the fact, that I'm just generally weird around my friends.

[@enchantedyashi7524]

Yep those Korean drama show are so addictive! I like always have to watch the whole movie/series before bed lol. If ur into anime and fighting I would recommend Himoura Kenshin-AKA Samurai X :D Or Naruto :D

[@miajosie6997]

I have an Asian friend and she is one of the best people I've ever met

[@mariamonteon4345]

omg every time I go to my half Laos friend, her mom always has soo much food prepared!
