How Awkwafina's Viral Sensation 'My Vag' Changed Her Life

[@kimberlycn]

Damn man I got teary eyed watching this! I really felt that part when she talked about all her friends graduating from college and finding purpose in the jobs they got after they finished school, yet she knew herself that she would never find purpose in doing that. I feel like i'm going through the same thing as her, but i still gotta find what i like and what fulfills me personally

[@miat789]

kimberlycn mmm graduating college doesn’t guarantee this. Now its just a piece of paper.

[@happycynic5647]

Girl, (/boy/gender ambiguous human whom I care about) it's gonna be okay. If you just finished undergrad and you went straight thru, I'm over a decade older than you. I just finished law school near the top of my class, and my future looks fucking bright. Took me a long ass time to get here because I didn't want to commit to pursuing something that wouldn't fulfil me. 1L year was completely magical; it all clicked in my head and I KNEW that I had made the right decision. So my point is... Life is not a competition with your friends. It's not a race to the finish line. Take your time, work hard at whatever job you can get or wanna do now that will keep you from being homeless or whatever. (e.g. I waited tables for 6 years at fine dining places and learned A TON of hugely relevant shit that ultimately made me a better person overall.) Live your life and enjoy the journey. Hope that helps a little bit, Pink Ranger!

Forget about finding a job you love; it ain't gonna happen for 99% of people. Find a job you are good at and can stand and that pays the bills.

[@drycs4145]

@@Waingro808 This might be the worst advice ever xD even if you have 1% chance to get a job that you like, still try to reach it, don't just let it go... You can try, and try again, and don't just search a job to pay the bills, because whoever does this better have a pretty strong moral support coming from somewhere because I couldn't do it...

[@MJ-qh4gn]

I'm 100 percent with u on this one, I am also facing the same thing..

[@rooneycaulfield9921]

I love this interviewer because he actually listens to her and doesn't FREAKING INTERRUPT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. Also ahhhgh I love Awkwafina so much she deserves this I'm so proud of her and happy that she's finally doing what she wants

[@barrymichlowitz1071]

He is a good interviewer. When he interviewed Constance Wu, she lost her train of thought and he recalled the last thing she said before then.

[@Miumiu0404]

Sam Jones in phenomenal. I've listened to most of his interviews through spotify podcast.

[@Papercruncher101]

Cough cough Jimmy fallon

[@expilectakunai]

My favorite interview he did was with Patton Oswalt, they really had a genuine and human conversation with each other as well as asking about the story behind his memoirs and recent comedy special

[@rushiljohal]

I completely understand how Awkwafina feels like, all the people around me found their passion and having their time of my life. While me over here, not sure what to fulfill my passion or my life, struggling. Also sometimes I do get a little jealous at my friends. Awkwafina your my true role model and you inspire me truly. Also, never give up no matter how much your failed.

[@siphonophores]

It's never a good thing when you try to check out an old flame and try to find out who had it worst. Breaks a bit of your character when you come to a realization that you are getting left out among your colleagues.

[@BallieBoogs]

Fkn what a fresh breeze of an artist, so original and not just shaking her ass into a camera. Love her!

[@earlwynncasanas4890]

She’s so real.

[@CadillacJak]

She a KZbin OG I would never think she make it this big its amazing to see. She's great and deserves all the best

[@da96103]

The boss was obviously a woman and got offended because Awkwafina sang that she (Awkwafina) won Best v@g while the boss won Best Supporting. No woman wants to be the Supporting v@g.

[@MatthewSaliba]

I liked this song better when it was called “My Puss” and it was sung by Margaret Cho.

[@neshag7408]

She is mad talented.

[@juansoriano9148]

She , covered my dick. And added akwafina is a genius 👏. Great job

[@yolani2569]

wow I felt the part about watching your friends graduate and fulfill their purposes, and I don't even know what I want with my life but I know its not what I'm doing. and this isn't the depression talking.

[@kennyrakentine187]

she didnt make that song. its a mickey avalon cover

[@karinskioslobod]

The true story Aquafina tells has a classic plot and would make a great film.

[@funh9416]

Awkwafina is life. I love you, Nora 😭💖

[@janeskowron2950]

Thank YOU SAM JONES for not interrupting her and MANSPLAINING all the time.

[@KitC916]

I'm obsessed with her...

[@brandonlongbottom5747]

same

[@mojotinagum3550]

I actually wish there was a movie that Akwafina would be the main character

[@elladavis6401]

@Majoti watch the "The Farewell" then, its one of the best films in 2019

[@manuelbranco173]

Great interview

[@jx14aby]

When I get elected president of the United States, I'm appointing her as my secretary of state.

[@manuelbranco173]

Listen I'm really happy for her - she is one in a million and timing and resonating with an audience is when the magic happens - Awkwafina is so much her own person and so very special I love her so much 👅☯️📷👑🐝🤖🍆😋🦞🌀🤍🖤💎🎭🐙🧀👾🥃☮️🍯🍾

[@jb_1972]

I love your vibe! I'm sure your story is going to inspire many. Keep on keepn' on Awkwafina! Looking forward to you hitting even BIGGER in the future! Lovn' your work.

[@kaguth]

I think like me a lot of the people that watched Awkwafina when she was just making youtube videos are so proud of her now.

[@jamespatterson1433]

I'm only disappointed you don't have a link to your subject's work. I go look for each person link and its never there. Very interesting lady.

[@zachary9009]

So can we get an Awkwafina Lil Dickey collab?

[@krazzcroft]

great interview!! Inspiring story

[@LisaDefazio]

I love her attitude

[@clolton]

shes admirable

[@yzlfc95]

Inspirational and confident woman

[@juansoriano9148]

Covered, mickey Avalon. She called it stupid. Very disrespectful 😒

[@toolguyslayer1]

Some people get fired because they are overqualified also or because they simply don't fit The clickusually the boss with way out those terms against what other options you have and he will generally try to give you the best option because for you to stay at his company and not be happy to the fullest like everyone else that is not what he is trying to attain and probably not where you are trying toattain either the box's number 1 prerequisite when dealing with people is to not waste their time if you have a good boss he is trying to give you the best position even if it is somewhere else business 101 the more people you keep happy the more people will tend to keep you happy

[@happycynic5647]

Y'all I am never gonna get sick of hearing all these white men interviewing Ms. Lum in all sorts of formal settings saying "my vag." So far it's been this guy whoever he is, Jimmy Kimmel, and "Legendary film critic Peter Travers" (I think you have to say that last guy's full title when you speak of him.) Awkwafina on Kimmel - they both danced around the word and she was like, "well you said it" and it was treated like a dirty word you can't say on TV. Which is so insulting because it is literally the correct medical terminology for a part of my human body. Which also happens to literally be the same place where all other human lives commence. Why the fuck should it be a dirty word? Cut to this interview, and everyone's getting comfier. THIS is the type of shit that breaks down barriers, like water eroding rock... just slowly eating away at it bit by bit until there is nothing left and those who loved the mountain/took it for granted barely even noticed.

[@happycynic5647]

My bad, this guy is Sam Jones. Just checked out his write-up of Awkwafina on his website and he seems like one of the good ones. Shouldn't have just dismissed him like that. It's just that... don't y'all think all white men look pretty much alike? 🤣

[@CadillacJak]

Exactly why main stream media is dying

[@SpinSurgery]

I’m a white dude and I not only have respect for awkwafina, I honestly consider her an inspiration for just putting her shit out there and putting having fun and her quality of life over expectations and not following the “good advice” of not putting something she found hilarious and kinda stupid out there. Very glad she did. Her and eaZy Mac are my favorite hilarious KZbin rappers

[@biglance]

THAT SONG IS FUCKING DOPE SHE SHOULD BE HUGE!!!!!!!

[@countyho22]

She didn't mention Mickey Avalon...hmmmm

[@toolguyslayer1]

everything good and everything bad happens in due time it all depends on what you do in the meantime between time that makes it worthwhile or not

[@andrapaitz4257]

This video has been up for ~2.5 years, and no one has bothered to go back and edit out the part where she accidentally flashes the camera? It seems like it would not be that hard--for someone who works with cameras all day!--to cut out the bottom of the shot where she crosses her legs and adjusts her skirt. You seem like a good guy, so I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you just didn't notice.

[@DanielJBarragan]

Fuck. Off.

[@rjampiolo32]

@@DanielJBarragan lol

[@Larry84J]

....wow. 😊

[@ILLRICARDO]

She is so perfect !!!!

[@ALDM404]

Lol she never mentions the fact she ripped the song off from Mickey Avalon

[@juansoriano9148]

And she called it stupid.

[@Justin-od8se]

AND margaret cho's same concept.

[@cim888]

Yeah this story needs to be made into a movie

[@bbysiea]

I just finished Raya and the Last Dragon, she did such a great job as sisu, and definitely fits her personality.

[@juansoriano9148]

Wow, so it came to her in a dream. So , MICKEY Avalon,didn't. Write the music . Or , the premise. She ,is best plagerist,in the world. Mickey, who?she even called it , stupid. Thats how 🤔, she respects, her fans, thoughts.

[@Justin-od8se]

and she copied the adapted premise from Margaret Cho. BOTH better versions.

[@marcelomoreno3171]

She said "pounded into me" 😉

[@bySterling]

Such an odd and interesting looking woman and voice so her choice of name fits

[@jx14aby]

She was the best part of Crazy Rich Asians.

[@miloszruczynski1230]

wow, not even a mention of Mickey Avalon whom she clearly copied, thats lame...folks go watch him he's like "50 times better" than this chick

Don't think she'll marry you because you missed the second w.

[@coulorfully]

No blaccent here

[@darylhodson4267]

It might make me an asshole, but part of the reason I didn't see the all women Ocean's movie was this chick's name. First strike is all female for the sake of all female, second strike is not casting the top females in cinema, third strike was casting someone named after a brand of water.

Haha. Awesome.

bro what is your problem??? you dislike someone just because of their name? lmao
