Colloquial speaking is something that the broad majority of the population does in everyday conversations and talking to their friends, family, colleagues, etc., so why talk sophisticated and scholarly to the entire population of Americans, especially when 1/8 of them speak Spanish as their primary language and another large portion aren't as educated to understand formal language?

If you think the tax cuts were for you, you need to do more research on it. How can you say Russia collusion has died?

[@mynastycomment5360]

+Jiri Klouda I don't know why you think this is a political speech. The jokes were not bad but half of them did not connect with the audience because Hasan was speaking too fast. I was disappointed that Hassan ruined the closure by blaming Trump for not defending the 1st Amendment, which is not true. Trump can be blamed for a lot of things. Not defending the 1st Amendment is not one of them. In fact, it is my personal opinion that Trump talks shit to get around the censorship that our 'free press' imposes on anyone that is not establishment. Look at how Gary Johnson & Stein did not get any press during the election. Even Bernie got press only towards the end that too bad press. Trumps talks shit to force the press to focus on him. I am sure he believes that any press (even bad press) is better than NO press at all and it sure worked and is continuing to work for him. The selection of Hasan a Muslim is political (because the organizer's intention was to make Trump attack a Muslim) the speech itself is not.

I can't believe this only has 1.4 million views. I must be half of those

[@BobZombie8806]

The best part of these roasts is when the camera shows all the pissed off faces in the crowd lol

[@fourq2049]

this was funny. Looks like the audience was paid not to laugh.i saw fear in there eyes and reluctance to participate. like a gun was at there heads.

[@nature6483]

Dan P they weren't paid to not laugh , they're truly scared of this administration

[@TimLevi]

They don't laugh because this isn't funny. You must have the worst taste in entertainment and art!

[@mithunkumar25557]

@@TimLevi We got some triggered asslicker of Trump.

[@casperchristensen8354]

I hear laughter...

[@mickeyagrawal2001]

Wait so now people need to laugh just cause you want them to laugh...sounds dictatorial if you ask me.

[@tonimills8433]

Pretty dam impressive speech - I loved every bit of it Hasan! Belly laughs from this old white gal.

[@tonimills8433]

A standing ovation well deserved by the press in the audience.

[@5papa]

Yeah, they all clap for themselves. What a bunch of phuckin' losers.

[@hankinses]

jeff kobain wow, couldn't help yourself. Anyone who's gonna say this is good or funny, you have to shut them down. Can't people have opinions without being insulted. Your being rude for no reason and it's really aggravating.

[@carlasaenz4213]

OMG YOU WERE AMAZING HASAN!! GREAT JOB! LOVED IT!

Because of how horrible it was?

too excited?

[@kikisummer7776]

Agreed he’s hilarious

[@kikisummer7776]

Mary Black but all the offended trump supporters are even funnier

[@mizuhonova]

I'm so glad he didn't pull a Larry Wilmore and just crap on everything. Hasan had some jokes, some serious messages, and an overall informative and positive message for the audience.

[@melissasteinmetz5988]

I just came from Larry Wilmore & I like the guy but his speech was awful. There were so many recycled jokes from old WHCD speeches & they weren't thought out that far at all

[@be-low-mepiggies5659]

After all these years this is still the funniest most accurate most inspirational White House correspondence roast ever performed. Let's give a hand to the man the myth the legend Hasan Minhaj

[@aymankas5431]

great performance,, very well prepared, rehearsed, and delivered speech, didnt shake or fear the amount of power he s standing before,,, funny and sharp.. never mind the electoral critiques you won the popular admiration..

bigfurhat bigfurhat dude you're a conservative troll. This is like the third stupid comment I've seen for you. It's becoming a game for me. For brown people this shit is inspiring. Considering the audience he had his jokes were brave.

[@roszela1]

This is the 1st time I've seen this. Loved "not see Steve Bannon, notsee Steve Bannon, natzi Steve Bannon." Brilliant.

[@trevorsung7970]

Brilliant work. But felt the camera stays too long on the guest for reaction making it awkward

[@ColoringKaria]

they do that every year. Larry Wilmore and Stephen Colbert were the best for crowd reactions.

[@richardhorgan3007]

Wolf Blitzer was pretty classic too, guffawing when Minhaj joked about his dad running for president, e.g. the guy who tries to return used underwear to Costco.

[@donibelle]

Yes. Though I noticed he didn't laugh when the joke was on him.

[@FerFer1958]

I think that if you are successful on your delivery, like Colbert, Hasan and others, the crowd shouldn't react at all... they are the ones being targeted by the jokes. The camera just shows that reality. Colbert got no reaction at all. Hasan was a bit more intellectual on his jokes at the end and I saw some of the crowd laughing.

[@DavidVargas-qk4tz]

It's all jokes but hopefully CNN, MSNBC, FOX, etc. take notice that's how we feel about the news. Most of us know you aren't Fake News but do the news, forget entertainment.

[@stevewood1112]

Go Hasan... Excelent performance.. love each word.........

[@ethanganes9266]

I think the strength it takes to keep going here is so so amazing even with such a difficult audience. It keeps me inspired to keep working on stage :')

[@bencerwinske559]

Well done Hasan.

[@AndreaSh00t97]

Man I think I've died several times during the speech...the mortal combat part, fucking hell man, cnn jokes are too good

[@missfluffybuns7759]

I've just watched this one (again) after watching Michelle Wolf's speech, and this one is so much better. actually I think Hasan's was probably one of the best ever, if not the best

[@myFElovemimi]

I was kind of thinking why they cancelled it after her and not already after him. But after that closer they could have never done that. I'm pretty sure it was at least a combined effort. And scary as well. (I'm not American but I worry for you Americans a lot XD)

[@jedihorjus]

Work it, Hasan.

[@alexandragrace8164]

Way to go Hasan Minhaj!

Dick Cheesehead ur name is dick cheesehead thus everything u say will be disregarded from this point onward.

[@app1esuk]

I'm sorry, I know comedy is subjective, but he was not that funny at all. I only listened to him because Whoopi Goldberg was stating that the guy made jokes of not just Trump, but the media outlets too. Look at the faces of the audience, and the lack of laughter noise, it's pockets of laughs. They were only joke that even made me laugh was the minority joke. HIs serious points were better were the only pluses I can name, one about the first amendment and about the media having to be on their "A" game. #if i had pain for a meal that tasted that bad, I would be asking for a partial refund

[@BdR76]

[@ycart3285]

I've watched this multiple times, Hasan Minhaj is a gem, he needs his own show

[@1314Lermanlover]

preach, this was so amazing and he should be proud, no one is giving him crap because he did it fairly, he made fun of both sides, including himself and made points that no one can refute, praise!

[@jeannin2.718]

Crushed. It.

[@RealityExposedChannel]

This guy made me cry in laughter.

[@insidethecourt]

That was very heartfelt. Michele Wolf was just savage but Hasan Minhaj had a message and delivered a really strong performance.

[@StrangeTerror]

I would like to say, As damn near the only white boy in my neighborhood for half a mile that wasn't passing through terrified for his life I can honestly say; There's no exaggeration in this. You would be an idiot to imagine that racism doesn't go both ways. You can easily imagine me taking shit growing up. So with that said from the point of view of a white male recently turning 24 I am personally EXTREMELY happy that these conversations are consistently thrown in the faces of those in power. I have more minority friends now than I have ever had "White" friends in my life. I have been more accepted by those who automatically chocked me into the same group as those that were suppressing their success than I have EVER been by "White America" I am a white male, And my views on this issue aligning with those of minorities I can assure you create just as many divides on this side of the fence. DO NOT LET THEIR BULLSHIT GET TO YOU!!! I am Native American, German, Irish, Blah blah blah blah. Keep up your fight. Minorities have ALWAYS done more in my experience than those who oppress them. Do not forget this strife is not pleasant, But it will make your points hit that much harder, and make you that much more driven to change the world for a better. Do not forget. Quick addition: Karma's a bitch.

[@Sleviron]

you must be the biggest fucking idiot in this whole comment section. just WOW!
