If You're Asian, Try This At Home Depot | Henry Cho Comedy

[@1224dlc]

He was the first Asian I saw on tv that had a southern accent when I was a child. I am adopted, and I was staring at the t.v. with an expression on my face. My mother noticed it, and asked me what was wrong. I remember telling her that he sounded funny, and she then explained to me that he has an accent. I have loved his comedy ever since. I’m glad he’s back on the road!

[@donkemp8151]

I know what you mean. Our Chinese friend from the Mississippi Delta came to visit us in Germany. Our Chinese friend from San Francisco looked at her with astonishment - she had a disconnect between the Chinese woman she was looking at and Southern accent coming from her mouth.

[@annabodhi38]

In Vancouver Canada I saw a Chinese person speaking Italian. We were in Chinatown, getting scallops from a market and the Chinese lady was explaining something to another woman who couldn't speak English, or Mandarin. It was such a wonderful sight to see and hear, lol.

[@memyself898]

@@donkemp8151 years ago i worked on a road construction crew. A dump truck pulls up and a dude who looked like Mr Miagi hops out and in the thickest Jamaican accent i've ever heard asks us where the foreman is. It took way to long for my idiot brain to accept this. He thought it was hilarious. He looks at me and says "what you thought I'd talk like Jackie Chan!!" Apparently there are a lot of Chinese / Jamaican folks and I had no idea.

[@briansmith48]

You all should check out Jenny Tian. She's an Asian lady with an Australian accent. She has a whole bit about it. 😆

[@BlankCanvas88]

My uncle is half Japanese and has a beautiful deep Texas drawl. Most people assume he’s either Mexican or Native American. 😁

[@theusher2893]

Years ago I worked at a big box store in the paint department. One of my old saws was when someone would ask "where's your stripper?" I'd tell them it was her day off. Almost nobody got it.

[@dawnkindnesscountsmost5991]

In the 90s, I worked in hardware and paint in a now-defunct department store, and my coworkers & I would say that _none_ of the stud finders worked. We could not find one man who we would call a stud. 😂

[@HollyMoore-wo2mh]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 I would have rolled.

[@HollyMoore-wo2mh]

My father told me this once. He traveled everywhere for his job. While he was in London they went to a Turkish restaurant. Someone asked him if wanted some Turkish Delight. (it’s a dessert) His answer was: I don’t know. Does she dance well? 😂😂😂

[@GOLANX]

Used to work for home depot right outside of Atlanta, I would ask the Gardening Department Where dey Hoes at?

[@AndrewB23]

No they got it it just wasn't funny

[@lukeclayton8771]

“Dad dad, do it to him” 😂😂😂

[@Simco_]

There's this calmness that comics who have been around a long time have that makes them stand out.

[@benjammin5252]

Do you mean like an aura or a timing to their jokes, where they know how to pace themselves and have a confidence other comics don’t?

[@Simco_]

@@benjammin5252 Not timing like their cadence, more just with how relaxed they are on stage. You'll see a lot of younger comics working with silence because they know they're supposed to. "Aura" may be a way to say it.

[@seeharvester]

He's definitely gotten better with age.

[@sota2343]

Naturally funny

[@philgraves4998]

Hilarious! I was at Ace Hardware and told the worker guy I needed a "female adapter" but before I got to its for a sprinkler pipe. He said "don't we all!" 😂

[@bobbyadkins6983]

I'm gonna go to Lowes and do this again. Lol

[@byMidnyt]

When he's talking to his wife, I just know when he says "I'm going to Lowe's", she's all "wait for me! wait for me! I gotta see this!"

[@teresa.tells.it.like.it.is.2]

LOL...and she brought a friend...🤣😀😂

[@u4tubular]

“It ain’t gonna work you’re only half…”🤣

[@alexoblivion9295]

I read this comment at the exact moment he said it 😆

[@sanctuary6689]

As a partial Asian I can attest to his statement. No one believes I’m Asian, not even other Asians. I have to come prepared with family photos to prove my grandparents are who I claim they are. It’s actually rather exhausting.

[@Hinatachan360]

​@@sanctuary6689those. I'm hafu and my father was Nigerian. People are shocked when I tell them I was born in Japan.

[@steveh1792]

​@@sanctuary6689 My late wife was 2nd gen ABC, we had three kids. The girls are stunning, but almost nobody figures they're hapa. Their brother gets caught a little more often, but most asians who notice aren't really sure until they ask him. Growing up in coastal central CA it never became much of an issue for them.

[@WarbirdPhoenix]

"no... more... 😮" 🤣

[@pyme495]

Years ago, i needed some butt connectors for a small electrical project. My wife happened to be out shopping, so I called and asked her if she would stop at Home Depot to get me a pack. When she came home, she was practically crying she was laughing so hard as she told me the story. Apparently she got there and asked a guy in his early 20s if he had any "butt plugs". She couldn't understand why he looked horrified. Apparently an attractive woman in her 40s, standing in front of him asking about butt plugs, was more than the poor kid could handle! 🤣

[@alexiswilliamsinc]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@stacymontero6172]

🤣

[@justinking9975]

Haha. This is awesome! 😂

[@CINE9INEPICTURES]

Yo that was funny. Lolol

[@buddy_love]

he had to be wondering why somebody's grandma was asking about butt plugs lol that would catch anybody off guard.

[@Dis-Emboweled]

Years ago, I sent my wife went to Menard's to get some caulk for windows.... She didn't know where it was so she found an employee there, who was about 16-ish and asked "where do you keep your caulk" She said the kid turned beet red, then had an "oh yah!" moment in his head, then took her to the paint supplies area where the caulk was. 🤣

[@jls.628]

You gotta speak the “L” in the word to not confuse ‘em😅

[@rivernet62]

When we were doing the roof, i enjoyed asking my wife to bring me lots of black caulk.

[@kathieb6443]

I'm sorry to say it took me a minute, then I couldn't stop laughing.

[@ulusalani]

ROTFL! :-)

[@justinstevenson2061]

Oh ya, how do you tool caulk without getting your fingers covered? Wet them first. You’re on the job site, what liquid is always available? Spit. Spit and caulk boys

[@heatherlowe7330]

Hilarious, the wife brought a friend had me rolling 😂

[@soundpreacher]

I’ve heard Henry Cho for years, and he’s always been hilarious.

[@deborahgrantham7387]

Like when I was a single woman, went into a hardware store, couldn’t find the studfinders. I had to go to the desk with a bunch of guys around.and ask …. You can imagine the laughing.

[@tonyblake7569]

Most unbelievable part is they knew what he ment. I've been to home depots, lowes, and menards that didn't know what I was looking for and they sold it there.

[@marceld6061]

Does *that* surprise you? Not me. Very rarely do the box stores have knowledgable employees. I knew what he meant. I've never built a log cabin but, I still know what it is.

[@robotninja530]

I asked for a monkey wrench once, and the Home Depot guy got this look on his face like he was trying to picture a monkey using a wrench. I found it myself by the time he figured out what it was on Google.

[@jelaninoel]

I was surprised the audience knew

[@tonyblake7569]

​@@jelaninoelprobably because he explained what it was first. Like if I was at home depot or something and heard that I'd probably think it was for a chain link fence lol.

[@MrGreenAKAguci00]

It's just the typical case of Ron Swanson's: "I know more than you do"

....she brought a friend .... 🤣🤣

[@wendybutler1681]

Always have liked Cho. Memorable because of the accent. Memorable because he's funny.

Now that's a family that knows how to have some fun. 😆

"Dad! Dad! Do it to him!" XD

[@mondoseguendo6113]

I feel he just wanted to build a log cabin for this joke.

[@maurapowers3880]

One might say he built up to it.

[@CornbreadOracle]

I remember Henry ever since he made an appearance on Designing Women all those years ago. My favorite bit from him was when he wrote a check in college for 50 cents. It bounced and his father was almost too amazed to be mad. 😂

[@UnicornCentaur]

Wasn't he on MTVs Half Hour Comedy Hour? Or was it VH1 stand up? (jfc I'm old lol) I remember his whole set - and the Designing Women appearance!

[@philosopher1a]

Reminds me of when I went to Home Depot and asked the lady if she carried black caulk 😂😂

[@patchesconway5957]

To be able to make fun of yourself is A True Gift not just for the World yet for ones own self

[@FecklessCowboy]

Thing is, this isn’t suppose to be a gift or skill. Making fun of yourself is suppose to be a normal part of life. Social Media has brainwashed two generations into thinking that they are way more important than they will ever be. Think about it… For twenty years telling someone, “Your special,” has been considered a net positive for that person’s mental health. … That is the literal definition of conceited. Of course that person grows up with Chronic Depression, Brain Zaps, addiction issues, and no vocational prospects. This is the EXACT outcome when you intentionally inflate a child’s Ego when they are suppose to be learning humility.

[@ronpetersen2317]

One of my dad's philosophical gems was "If you can't laugh at yourself there is something wrong with you." Which of course is true. the arrogant and entitled can never laugh at themselves.

[@alphanerd7221]

He's not making fun of himself.

[@DougThomsen]

Yeah, he’s not making fun of himself.

[@TexJester-no8th]

What's that clickin noise???

[@mofo7689]

I will be honest here. I first heard him in Tom Arnold's "McAle's Navy". I heard his southern voice and thought there was an movie audio situation. I figured it was legit after seeing the whole comedy movie. Forget the movie, I was zoned in him speaking like a southerner better than the "born and bred", then laughed learning he was one of them too.

[@splatninja9447]

I don't know what I expected when I clicked, but it wasn't that finely crafted gem. Kudos 😂

[@oldbrokenhands]

Yeah, I remember the same issue when describing a fatal flaw in armor.

[@solandri69]

An ESPN writer lost his job over that. He wrote an article titled "Ch*nk in the Armor" (properly spelled - I'm trying to dodge YT filters) after Yao Ming had a poor game. He was young, and claimed he'd never even heard that that was considered a racial slur. Dunno if that was true, but it points out a serious flaw with shaming people for using such words. The more we succeed in exterminating usage of slurs, the more people will grow up not knowing that they're slurs. Which means more people will innocently use them, only to be wrongly crucified by the political correctness police. The methodology is flawed because the more it succeeds, the more innocent victims it creates.

[@ZacHawkins42]

​@@solandri69It's not flawed, it's working as intended.

[@mbvglider]

@@solandri69 There is a word that means “stingy” and sounds a lot like the N-word. People don’t use that word anymore.

[@DrFranklynAnderson]

In adaptive skiing for people in wheelchairs, we steer the sit-skis with poles strapped to our arms called outriggers. But of course everyone calls them “riggers.” I’m a little surprised, looking back, that no one ever misheard us and got offended-especially considering how people on the slopes tend to wear hats and scarfs that muffle their mouths/ears. 😅
