1:40 "Here's the only thing I'm good at, I SAY YES TO LIFE." I've always loved Bobby Lee and he's one of the biggest reasons I do stand up comedy. Respect.

[@L9210L]

Love what he said there as well.

[@bswhairhartford1048]

+ChannelPKtown PEEKAAYY

[@LangCody]

+ChannelPKtown I know what you mean... ;0)

[@sohimashah5098]

He’s a beautiful person. So honest. It must be so tough to do standup. Respect to you as well!

[@thomasrudmoenlkken3254]

if he says yes to everything, then where is his got damn stand up special? Tigerbelly is one podcast a week because he plays video game 9 hours a day, haha. I got big love for Bobby, but he does not say yes to everything and also he has tons of talent, he`s a great musiscian, comedic writer skills, artistic... come on bobby, low on self estem? a bit low on self estem but enough confindence to be a fucking nut job sometimes and dont care what some peolpe think, not all. haha mad respect Bobby Lee, please make an album for us!!

[@StudioAnnLe]

This is a beautiful story.

[@matt234111]

I was getting choked up watching that, never thought Bobby Lee would give me that reaction. But he is wrong about not being talented, he is a genius comedian.

[@EmmaWong24]

"I was always fat. And lazy." This guy never ceases to crack me up. Love all these CAPE vids!

[@bumblebri]

i think its cool seeing a deeper side to him than just funny.

[@AmeyaBenare]

Never saw Bobby talk so normal. Not even in tiger-belly. Maybe in Coco podcast

[@kozhikkaalan]

Whoa which podcast is that?

[@jaejunha]

17 years of depression and I hear " I say yes to life". I'm fucking crying. something so obvious but rarely said. It feels good to hear it outloud.

[@lcbaccas]

Bobby, you made me emotional. It's a beautiful story. " say yes.. To life"

[@TheYnotThat]

Bobby can be serious, say what?????

[@sungjitsu]

I LOVE THIS STORY. AS AN ASIAN AMERICAN THIS TRULY INSPIRES ME!

[@xNinJayxTheNinja]

I just started watching CAPE and I found it very inspirational. Yes, they're all asian, but this message is not for just asians, it's for everyone. Its a life story, a life lesson on youtube. I think this is the most inspirational video on CAPE and even anywhere. Bobby Lee seems like a crazy, immature, irresponsible guy on set but behind the scenes, he is a smart, talented, mature, strong person. Before anything, he was a just normal kid. He had to go through rough times to get through his life. Now he is telling his story. Teaching everyone, every race how to be happy and successful in the near future. Not everything is easy, not everything is nice, if you know you can get through anything, you will be on your way to a new life. A good one. Thanks for reading and I hope you get inspired by this video. :D

[@peternguyen4185]

im 15 and i hope i will be successful like bobby lee, david so, folks at justkiddingfilms and etc coz those guys are role models to me

[@Mrsonicslash5]

Peter Nguyen study hard go to school

[@sohimashah5098]

Oh, it’s been 4-5years? So you’re 19? Having any luck with comedy?

[@SwMexican]

Well?

[@YappieKitchen]

Omg these interviews are so amazing. Sometimes Asian parents can be really harsh. I remember when I was young my mother ripped up all my portfolio pictures! She wasnt supportive at all.

[@BrawnyBuddha]

[@tudordumitrugeorge7015]

love u slept king!

[@skiiy123]

take a shot every time he says "you know what I mean" 😂 but really his message was great!

[@cbiaplus8218]

The thing is it

[@johnydome]

this guy is funny "you know what I mean" lol

[@Kali23Yuga]

The background music is really cheesy, but Bobby's amazing.

[@PlayZGamer]

thx

[@iRandomThought]

Need one for Africans lol. Six years of arguing with your parents? Cool, I'm at 3. Half way there hopefully? Great vid, great idea. I almost cried, almost ;)

[@dustysparkle2429]

I didn't expect his message to be so deep. I found this to be one of the most inspiring and powerful CAPE videos because it really shows that parents, regardless of cultural and socioeconomic background, will support you if you show how committed and dedicated you are in accomplishing your desires and goals.

[@brad2951]

This was actually inspiring because well my family has the exact same behavior towards this cliche future of mine. Now I have a reason to look the other way to be a comedian, actor, Kim jong uns beother, etc..this actually helped. A lot. Love you bobby. Haha

[@minablue9268]

Never thought he would be my inspiration

[@johokeen1]

"Feelings are not final.... things change". So true. Thanks for the uploads.

[@gollywolf]

You know what I mean

[@draventhresh420]

music made this extra special. bobby lee you are an inspiration

[@ryuson2000]

It's the "blind kung fu master"!!!

[@vitaminkplus]

Bobby Lee's time on MadTV was awesome!!!!

[@roamlikekane]

Bobby's lost some weight, he looks good here. His face has slimmed down quite a bit. Good job Bobby. Keep it up.

[@Kimosabii]

Damn this is inspiring. My problem is just I don't know where to start. I'm already in my junior year of college. Don't even know what I want to really do afterwards.

[@SooYULluv]

Wow such an inspiration T_T sometimes I wonder myself if I'm taking the right path.

[@danil.6667]

I did not expect this...Love the message.

[@JohnDatoy]

Bobby Lee is a huge inspiration to me!

[@that014028]

This is an awesome guy

[@b16hatchback]

Very inspiring to hear, especially when I can relate with similar experiences from Asian family.

[@mrniceguy7587]

Aye nosotros papaya in 2021 👍🏼

[@phuochp1996]

Thank you, Bobby for such a sensationally powerful message. I was genuinely touched by listening to your story. It gives me a great motivation to live true to myself and to this world.

[@Trisherboops]

Would love to meet him 😊👍

[@MyAwkwardAzn]

Thank you for also paving the way Bobby! :)

[@RaindropsOnRoses7]

You're an inspiration and pioneer for us Asian-Americans! Thanks for being you!

[@TheYnotThat]

I want Bobby Lee in KungFu Panda films. It should have been him instead of Jack Black!!!

[@prodigy78]

Respect to Bobby Lee!! An amazing mini doco

[@Janet_________]

This is a very lovely message to everyone . never give up always have faith

[@jutre6045]

Luv him so much! #Nosotros papaya

[@TarotReaderASMR]

Loving the generic, upbeat inspirational chimes in the background, creates a perfect dichotomy with Bobbie's restless lunacy.

[@wanna-behomie5459]

CAPE... keep it up... Bobby Lee this helped so many people. More than you know! Thank You Both!

[@eurasian55]

Bobby nailed it. Margaret Cho paved the way. I was 19 years old and my girlfriend and I went to a comedy club on Melrose. She was there and It really hit me. I never saw any asian comedians doing stand up. She talked about how excited to have the first Asian American show coming soon, All American girl.. I think back I remember endless old school kung fu, joy luck club, news anchors. Lucy lui and that's it I forgot. .Anyways I'm proud of how far we've come in America. Thanks for the laughs Bobby.

[@johnpeters7073]

Even on a heart warming, feel-good story like this, Bobby is still slangin’ them “hahas” like crazy.

[@tokyolifestyleautomotive258]

Bobby is probably one of the most talented individuals out there. He paved the way for new gen asian comedians in North America in my opinion.

[@armancz]

First time I see Bobby actually serious. Great message. It is true, you don't even remember things that went wrong 10 years ago and at the time seemed like the end of the world, push thru, it will be alright.

[@azam987654321]

Bobby is awesome

[@puccan479]

This is a great video. It’s rare to see him be completely serious for a whole clip

[@maushardt13]

I love Bobby, he's such a great person who knows himself. This talk proves it, it was filled with great advice everyone can use. Thank you for that Bobby ❤❤❤❤

[@vspectra]

If you play this music on top of any of Bobby's speeches, they would all be inspirational speeches.

[@tinymongoose]

"Things change.. That's a universal truth..." Yes! Thank you for being a role model to so many people around the world❤

[@beautifulcatastrophe]

Bobby Lee fam forever ♾️

[@padethao]

thanks, bobby! your words hit home! you said things that i couldn't. you shared things that i was holding back.. thank you!

[@prodluvlvcas]

[@gianlucacittadino9373]

He's awesome

[@patiquianzon852]

Very inspirational videos from #IAm COPE. Many thanks! Say yes to life

[@easyvwj597]

If anyone happens to see this comment then everyword bobby lee says are split into tigerbelly episodes. Please check him out

[@joshueabelis473]

I had to turn the video off the moment I heard the background music. That's not Bobby lee

[@carlosmatos4598]

Steven Quongou Lee the funnier oil brother

[@carlosmatos4598]

uhhh musician, comedian, chef and radio host, that sounds like a lot of careers to me.

[@pr0n3]

Mangchi 4 life!....but seriously, Bobby Lee is funnier.

[@phuonghuynh554]

I loved him on MadTV then but I love him even more now. This is inspirational

[@sundaystef]

BOBASA

[@datghettoazn127]

Why are all of these interviews making me cry Bobby started yes theory before yes theory

[@lukebmajesty2010]

Fuckin los Angeles , he was tiki not 10 min ago, in the same room, better couch

[@phainhmooblee4923]

This is not funny, I'm here for funny not motivational speeches.

[@OyJaPinoy]

NOW your the one inspiring us AZNz, Bobby Lee

[@MrOscar5690]

Has this been talked about in Bad Friends / Tiger Belly?

[@TheBailon28]

Bobby Lee -Gend! guy is the funniest Asian comedian

[@BeansCheeseBeansCheese]

THE GOAT!!!

[@Kenshiro157]

Hi man you just be my inspiration! Respect!

[@HaxzPwnz]

long live the slept king

[@kshinokevin]

the Slept King was great in Mad TV: Tank and Bae Sung..

[@austinworthy441]

I literally love this guy. This is some seriously valuable advice to anyone trying to further a career in any avenue they encounter. When he said he isn’t afraid of failure or what people think is exactly why (despite his shortcomings) he is still an accomplished comedian because he wasn’t a pussy. The amount of people the world misses out on because they are too afraid to put themselves out there is one of the biggest tragedies of life. This guy has a bigger sack than many men and his career reflects that. I hope one day I grow a pair big enough to chase my dreams without the fear of failure or judgment . Respect bobby lee. My Vietnam veteran Dad would be mind blown to know I look up to a 5’4 Asian guy whose BMI level is well below acceptable . God bless this motherfucker

[@cookietimekid]

i dont know what he means.

[@JohnnyCdz]

powerful message!! Bobby Lee is a legend!

[@AidenPhengsy]

I watch this at least twice a month. This is very inspiring especially to an asian american with asian parents who don’t support my dreams as an actor. “If your parents say no, then tell them you’ll have to do it without their approval.” Parents are supposed to support your dreams not bring you down, but If you have a dream, you have to pursue it with all you can and never look back. Don’t listen to the doubters and go get your dreams.

[@kapoleikaraoke6086]

Bobby needs to have Margert Cho on Tiger Belly

[@_LVC]

This guy sold me corn 🌽 🌽

[@isaacsamba3079]

Bobby Lee... I love that episode you did on MTV as "Dragon Hunter" it cracks me up every time I watch it.

[@vh6307]

Humble, honest & hilarious! Thanx 4 saying "YES 2 LIFE" 4 us!! Bless u hun!😊

[@mariusloveless7880]

Bobby Lee is a fuckin LEGEND man

[@chainreaction1703]

The following takes place between 11am and 12pm, events occur in real time. Funniest sketch I have ever seen.

[@SeekerFantasy]

[@tenpenthouse]

Him identifying Margaret Cho as a role model warmed my heart.

[@annsullins448]

Great story!

[@dietlamp]

Bobby is the man. Know what I mean?
