Dashan Speech at Mandarin Profile Awards 2012

[@mijunhong1]

So much respect and admiration for you, Mark! 我从小在北京长大，说老实话你用中文讲的这一番话，我自愧弗如。你的中文脱口秀比大多数中国演员的还让我觉得有笑点上档次。了不起的大山，吾需仰视才见。

[@李淑君-c2p]

He speaks Mandarin as well as a Beijing native.

[@learnchineseneymour9950]

So nice dashan

[@evonneli6546]

大山先生的中文說的真是好 ! 名副其實是語言學家。

[@AthenaCannon]

I would vote Mark Roswell as the PM of Canada and replace Trudeau!

[@眨小眼华大妈]

That's a good idea 😂

[@眨小眼华大妈]

Yeah 😂

[@kellyxu9449]

哇塞！口风缜密。He has got a really strict structure while talking, and is even capable for using the official Chinese officer/political expression.

[@lulumink0]

This dude's Chinese is way better than mine. Respect!

[@MichaelTJin-ee5go]

大山的爷爷奶奶上个世纪初在河南奉献自己的人生 (是医生，在河南当地建立医院)，医治老百姓的身体。 上天安排真是奇妙，如今又使用家庭的后代，清洁中国人的灵魂，特别给我们的相声和脱口秀市场带来了正直，诚实，坦荡的生命榜样。

[@gmsi7d371]

[@weihuashi7069]

Dashan's Mandarin is 100% fluent.

[@BingW369]

[@holybigball]

No, he is speaking the Mandarin, while I am speaking dialect Mandarin 😂

President: "Who is the guy at the U.N?" Secretary: "Hu is the guy in China." President: "Will you stay out of China?!" Secretary: "Yes, sir." President: "And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N." Secretary: "Kofi." President: "All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone." Secretary (picks up the phone): "Rice, here." President: "Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we should send some to the guy in China. And the Middle East. Can you get Chinese food in the Middle East?"

[@CYFreestyle]

Gang Trinh it's not Chinese accent. it's Canadian accent

[@lulumink0]

[@knowtheworldjapan]

喜欢大山

[@jietaliu7350]

👍❤️👍

[@benkata]

Who's on First - for Chinese!

[@pumpupjam54]

Would like to hear in Eng what they say about Dashan! He I can comprehend better.

[@justicewillprevail1106]

中文比我還好， 好利害

[@lijjg8747]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@darkjak224]

Lol he had a Beijing accent when speaking Cantonese?

[@yoyoliu6240]

Who's on first, What's on second, and I Don't Know's on third

[@Somnifacious]

At 10:10 the subtitles read “放一塊” but he actually says “擱一塊”. Of course they have the same meaning, but I wonder why they chose to subtitle that way. Would that usage of 擱 be very unfamiliar to the audience?

[@marybingwen]

Because 搁一块儿（擱一塊兒）is usually used in north of China. It appears in many dialects in North China like Beijing, Tianjing, He’nan Province etc.. For Cantonese people 擱一塊兒is a little bit weird.

[@Somnifacious]

@@marybingwen Is it weird enough to be incomprehensible to Cantonese speakers, or just “weird”?

[@youhengchen9675]

Even his English has a Chinese accent

[@evonneli6546]

小露

[@youtubeofficial624]

休假式治疗 这是王立军那事吧

[@lukecavill2556]

他怎么看起来有一点紧张的样子呢

[@Justin-yb6mf]

不是

[@evonneli6546]

口型對不上了 🤷‍♂️

[@tylervercetti4187]

等习近平当政之后再回来看这个，非常有意思

[@DYang-od2bx]

这个两面三刀，背后捅刀的主竟然现在还有人捧？

[@marybingwen]

什么意思

[@johneyyeung5066]

你是玻璃心還是泡泡心

[@SyaNHs]

你的认识也就这样了。
