Angry Boys - Jen Okazaki - "Meet Jen"

Meet Jen Okazaki, mother and manager of Japanese skateboarding superstar Tim Okazaki and controller of the brand "Gaystyle"

[@spider75berkeley]

As an Asian, I'm deeply offended that all the Asians on TV aren't played by Chris Lilley.

[@CitrineDream]

LOL

[@lolno6665]

As an Asian I agree

[@hazel7000]

as another asian, i agree 😭😭😭 he plays the role really well and has the accent on point. AND THE PICTURES WHERE HES POSING IN THE FAMILY PHOTOS IS SPOT ON.

[@stefania5882]

Omg this is not where I thought this comment was going 😂

[@elliottl3986]

as a Waisan, I strive to be Chris Lilley

[@zubileegluckgluck]

Jen Okazaki is the most underrated of all the flawless Chris Lilley characters. The entire story and the character are simply brilliant. There is no one on Chris's level of comedic acting, in all of human history. No one has ever embodied such a vast array of different people so immersively, and there will never be another actor/writer/creator like Chris Lilley, both because of his unique talent, and the drastic changes and mental rot in contemporary society, as a whole. Chris Lilley is a treasure, and really should be given much more recognition for what he does. Only intimidation and jealousy could be responsible for him not being a household name, worldwide. I can watch any of these stories endless times, and they never get old, or less side-splittingly hilarious.

[@zubileegluckgluck]

@@Holsgolightly I used the word "worldwide" for a reason.

[@zubileegluckgluck]

@@Holsgolightly whatever you say. You're right.

[@deplorabledave1048]

Eddie Murphy came close. But he used a gazzillion dollars of make up and prosthetics. Chris does it all with clothes and wig! And TALENT!!! Unrivaled, unequaled talent!

[@zubileegluckgluck]

[@MaTtRoSiTy]

I've said it before and I'll say again Chris is brilliant, he creates suspension of disbelief where you can forget it's him playing these characters. Shame the PC wankers are trying to cancel him now, very annoying

[@kimyuri6937]

Funny how these PCs preach about not judging the book by its cover, but they're the ones who judges Chris for being racist coz of all these without actually knowing the meaning behind all the characters. This is why these PCs need to go through high school and learn how to analyse texts and media.

[@MaTtRoSiTy]

@@kimyuri6937 agreed, it's all so ridiculous

[@ewtwetrwerwteet]

It's not racist or disrespectful. It's accurate. Asians can relate to these kind of mothers.. Now it's over the top sure but that's the point

[@nickabockanumber9699]

I dont think someone being brilliant justifys being racist

[@acb723]
