Chopsticks Are So Offensive

[@Swinefeld]

I personally like chopsticks. It's the only song I know how to play.

[@Karitwilightmist]

"I don't call that sensitivity I call is censorship." I heartily applaud him for that. This guy makes some very good points and I admire him for doing so. Plus he's funny as he does it.

[@WanderingLetters]

"Lets see who gets to the bottom first!!!" LOL. I love it.

[@thoughtadventure100]

A lot of people seem to be missing the point of what he is saying.

[@Panwere36]

Yes.. and it reveals an awful lot of why they never get the truth of Jesus as well.

[@auntie.shannon]

I love this guy. Thanks for the upload.

[@cathoderaymission5545]

actually, the person using chopsticks would get to the bottom of a bowl of soup first every time, because they would just drink from the bowl

[@allghilliedup21]

LOLLLLL The spoon, chopsticks, and soup cracked me up! That's SOOOO true

[@PescheClarke]

Ming dynasty? Here in modern day (keyword:modern) Asia, we eat primarily with chopsticks. They're pretty versatile if you have the dexterity of a 5-year-old.

[@atyt11]

you have to dig a hole, gather some leaves and cut a piece of wood. Would you rather..... use a shovel, a rake and a saw or..... two poles??? I'll let that sink in.

[@mattking4697]

We need more people like him.

[@uggybaby1]

Praise God for you and your talent!!!

[@Asujoll]

He makes a joke about how oversensitive people are too easily offended. 90% of the comments are from oversensitive people being too easily offended.

[@samscarecrow2884]

Exactly!!

[@schatheolafast789]

Lol, "a girl"!!!

[@Twisted_Code]

welcome to the Internet, where the worst of the worst as far as political correctness still, somewhat ironically, have the ability to speak their minds without worrying about censorship. This guy is literally my role model as far as my sense of humor goes, so much so that when I found out he was going to be in Manheim, PA (which is probably about a 60-75 minute drive from home for me), I booked tickets immediately. My only regret is that I didn't get the VIP tickets so that I could meet him in person and tell him what an impact he's made on my life. Seriously, without this guy's on-point sarcasm, I don't think I would've made it through the depression I experienced after my car accident.

[@rikaman27]

7:13 “If you can not discern the difference between somebody being malicious towards your ethnicity and somebody finding humor in the differences ~~ put a helmet on”. “We’ve got to laugh again!” ~~ Amen! Amen!

[@CalamityProductions]

I'm Asian and I believe that silverware is better than chopsticks. People really are too sensitive. My gosh.

[@cybercidezero1267]

Your....telling this to who exactly? Brads going out in public as a comedian, (i use that term loosely) telling people that his culture is better then someone else's culture because he learned to use metal instead of wood, yeah that same wood i learned to use when i was 5! He should really learn to expand his horizons and try new things, oh and definitely find a new career.

[@CalamityProductions]

cybercide zero He's being sarcastic. He's making fun of his inability to use chopsticks by saying that they are inferior to silverware. Plus he already makes enough money in his current career, so there's no reason he should change it at this point.

[@cybercidezero1267]

Calamity Productions I'm white and i eat asian food with chop sticks, so ha!

[@EonKool]

cybercide zero Damn dude, you sure showed everyone just how culturally enriched you are because of the way that you eat your food. I'm glad that you shared that extraneous piece of information with the Internet. Now I can look at you and go, "You know, that cybercide zero guy is really politically correct, I mean, he eats Asian food with chopsticks."

[@hmmm2357]

+EonKool You sound jealous you cant use chopsticks and view learning new skills as something people should not celebrate.

[@marathonlifeH121]

Very funny, love this guy. Years ago I was at a Chinese restaurant and was just learning to use chopsticks and asked the Chinese waiter if I was holding them correctly. After he showed me the proper way I asked him how he held them. His response? I prefer to use a fork. We are too oversensitive in this country. Many countries despise what we stand for here in America and yet we lie on their beaches and spend our money at their vacation spots. By the way, I'm European and my wife is Asian.

[@SuperAngelfish9]

Thank you, Mr. Stine, for telling it like it is!

[@natenatedadjohnson3041]

You all do realize that he is making a point about the over PC nation we have become. He is making a joke about his in ability to use chop sticks, and so many of you are angry about a joke? Bad joke, good joke, makes no difference your angry about a comedian making a joke? By definition you are the point of the joke, and because you don't get it you get offended? Yes, you are the joke. Only thing is its sad, not funny. Feel free to hate my observation/opinion, by doing so you only prove my point even more.

[@asdf0501]

Or maybe, just maybe....... The joke is not funny?

[@Twisted_Code]

@@asdf0501 I admit that humor like this depends a lot on perspective, but personal incredulity does not invalidate the point of political satire. What may not be funny to you was extremely funny to me. (Disclaimer: I'm Caucasian. That said, I'd like to think I could appreciate humor regardless of the viewpoint of the other party)

[@arrowb.8438]

why am I seeing so many people hate on this great comedian, he's clean, he's talented, and he's funny, yet I see tons of people complaining. I feel like they must be liberals.

[@sinscentedcandles4283]

IKR

[@tayct4838]

+Marshall Burch i don't like clean. it's like im sitting watching a guy in the living room of a 12 year olds birthday party for entertainment

[@tayct4838]

+Marshall Burch his material is all. i get he appeals to certain people. he has good stuff for that demographic. just not my stuff. good delivery and stage presence etc. just material is meh for me. everyone has their own taste in humor

[@sinscentedcandles4283]

Tay CT dont like clean ?! ok so r u saying u prefer comedians who speak of S and cuss inappropriate things as of S stripping cussing supporting gay ness and other things God doesnt like

[@arrowb.8438]

Tay CT he says in one of his things, he says creative is funnier than crude. He goes through a lot of effort to be as good as others without reverting to a lesser form of humor.

[@hannernanner13]

That was an excellent point made in a hilarious fashion. :D

[@scottywhite1435]

amen to many butthurt libs

[@ferencharaszti5031]

Great points, thank you so much! He reminds me of George Carlin in many ways.

[@zandylovesrisk]

Me too. It's so hard to use a chopstick when you eat rice!

[@Say7Days]

I love how nobody listens to the fact that this is all sarcastic....

[@JHero]

Love it at the end, “A GIRL!!” 😂😂😂 Bruh that took me out the minute he said it!

[@Myko717]

Not just funny but smart and truthfull at the same time. He speaks truth on certain subjects and is also able to make you laugh. I really dig the wussification rant.praise the Lord for him. Truth needs to be told.

[@KrypptikkSoulslayer]

the chopstick story is awesome!!!

[@retrorenigade5010]

The 2020s need brad stine right now.

[@dsma06]

He's like Sam Kinison without the language and drugs! :)

[@MonicaKyler]

This guy is the ONLY guy I know that can take a chopsticks and make it into a teaching, of a twisted sort. XD

[@crunchihuahua]

you know you're just making his point for him, boo hoo if you're offended because its true and he's right. I think you just hate the fact he's a christian, if he was like George Carlin you'd love his raunchy jokes

[@mscg4453]

I can understand what hes saying, I wore a shirt at my school once that said "According to the laws in this country which is more important; an unborn child or an unborn eagle? If you chose the unborn child your wrong, kill an unborn eagle 1000 dollar fine and up to a year in jail. Kill an unbord child, no punishment and the abortionist makes money." which is all true, and i was asked to take it off for the rest of the day because it "offended" someone. They were offended by the truth.

[@Forotosh]

Anyone who got offended by this didn't stay past 3:17.

[@Moviefan2k4]

They probably didn't stay pat three seconds, let alone three minutes. The most easily offended usually have extremely short attention spans.

[@therickster49]

Well what a statement.This country is Great and the People Who gave you Freedom.

[@jsbcarman]

Love this guy, hilarious

[@IceInMySnowCone]

LOL. I love this video and i use chopsticks every other day. :D

[@WrknClssHero]

Can anyone tell me what the title of the DVD this excerpt is from?

[@millenniumteacher]

I LOVE THIS GUY!

[@lynnmetzner4578]

Oh my goodness, people! Listen, really listen to the joke - part I. Then listen to the story about getting fired for telling that joke - part II. Then refrain from making any comments.

[@Meelzdiva]

1:45-2:18 "Let me get this straight...BOB" lol

[@stevenmonserrate308]

Time out. He knows what a mandolin is! LONG LIVE THE MANDOLIN!!!! This dude is awesome!

[@TheChristianTower]

where did you buy that shirt?

[@stephaniewordwoman]

So, who's up for I Reject Modern Technology Day?

[@Moviefan2k4]

AMEN!!! Agreed, 100%. People these days need to realize that not every opposition to a difference is done from hate or fear. Tolerance isn't saying that everything is equally true or valid; its recognizing that people have been granted a legal right to live as they wish, without any mandate for others endorsing it.

[@HMG00]

So much negativity. . .y'all are missing the point of the joke. He's mainly making fun of himself. People are so overly sensitive to crap.

[@myaragorn41]

this reminded me of a quote from the play the king and i " you're right Englishman not scientific enough to use chopsticks."

[@FDGStitch]

I wonder if those offended actually watched the whole clip? Aussies excel at laughing at themselves, I found it extremely entertaining and funny AND worth watching till the end. Interesting message actually.

[@cirque_buns]

A GIRL!!! We are our own ethniticity

[@BJDJMusic]

Literally, I'm sure that there are any of these viewers who disbelieve or understand the way people's cultures is not meant to be offensive or has anything to refer to political correctness. I mean, like some Americans, of EVERY cultural race, belief system, and political views, I, in pandum, am a white American who likes to use chopsticks whenever I like to eat Chinese food, because I respect the cultures of Asia, even China, Japan, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera and I "like to be authentic"; I'm Christian, like Brad Stine, and I get offended by offensive people, whether you like it or not; and I have no political party, am friends with other races, foreigners, and (6:25), and respect the way things are in the world. So, clearly, why should I care at all?

[@FoggyBadger]

I'm a white American and I use chopsticks for pretty much everything, even cake and ice cream. To the point where I actually drop forks and spoons if I try using them.

[@BJDJMusic]

HA! Me, too!

[@PaisleyPlace]

@sHart1780 Just an FYI: I have studied extensively on the subjects of psychology, abnormal psychology, as well as child psychology and abnormal child psychology in addition to a few semesters of sociology so I do have an working college as well as personal education in child abuse, domestic abuse in general . I've helped kids get out of abusive homes & worked hotlines for abused kids. Even w/therapy the abuse suffered never goes away completely. Nightmares, anxiety, PTSD are lifelong battles.

[@natenation]

Soo funny XD I agree, people are way too sensitive about everything. So many people are always claiming to be "offended". Drives me crazy. Cutlery IS better for their designed rolls. A fork for picking up food, a knife for cutting food and a spoon for scooping food, IS better than two sticks. It's not "bigoted" to say that. Keep fighting political correctness with humor , Brad.

[@GunmanNo4]

Peggy Hill....PUT A HELMET ON!

[@PaisleyPlace]

Whoever marked sHart's statements as spam, when they actually constituted spam & stupidity... THANK YOU! :)

[@TheDeadman419]

Brad Stine must be laughing his ass off over the comments under this video. His whole point for this was to highlight how easily offended everyone is. And the comments under this video? Are those same people he's making fun off. I mean, there are people in the comments who've likely never even been to Asia, virtue signalling and coming to the defense of Asians, just so they can seem tolerant and pretend like they're better than Brad. And meanwhile we have people of ACTUAL Asian nationality in the comments saying "Yeah he's got a point. This guy's funny." To all of the people here trying to castrate Brad only so that you can pretend like you're better than him, please go away. I came here to laugh, not to listen to ANOTHER offended Internet user who has no real reason to even be offended. You're virtue signalling, stop it

[@Twisted_Code]

Finally! Someone managed to pinpoint the irony of the baseless hate so many people (probably mostly leftists) apparently have for Brad. It's exactly what you said: people are offended by someone pointing out how ridiculously sensitive they are... and they'll be damned if they don't prove it right away with a comment saying (for instance) how "not funny" this ridiculously funny[*] comedian is! [*] I've told this joke to no less than 10 people (5 of which I don't even know. Just a doctor and some nurses at a recent appointment) and every single one of them reacted positively.

[@entjtype1250]

suddenly i am propelled into the ming destiny or whatever.

[@FindUsFaithful]

poople?

[@PaisleyPlace]

@bubblygirl40 The easiest way to learn is by wrapping a rubber-band around the top of the chopsticks.Than maneuver them w/your fingers about halfway up the stick w/food farthest from hands as this is customary. Don't stab or bang dish as it's dishonorable. When picking up food, do so at a 45-degree angle. Can't recall off top of my head but it has to do w/a specific ritual. Besides, it's easier at an angle & it's the correct manner to pick up food using chopsticks be it rice or sushi.

[@zombiemario15]

I ate at a Chinese restaurant recently and they forks, knives and spoons. There was an option to grab a pair of chopsticks if you wanted to use them.

[@nintendsoad]

There are way too many OVERLY religous people in this world. I am always being told that i am not a true christian because i will occasionally swear and because i do not believe that homosexualism is bad. I am not a homosexual but my cousin is and i will not stand for other people to tell him that he is a bad person because of something he was BORN WITH. people need to stop being so uptight and learn how to accept each other. Brad Stine is a great example of how to be a christian. Keep it up

[@hungrytomato]

Stick a fork in a baked potato. Pickup another one with chopsticks. Now release the potato.

[@genogaron]

To all those who have been bad-mouthing Brad Stine; you need to grow up. He is a brilliant comedian who separates PEOPLE for CULTURAL FALLIBILITY. Never once has he been bigoted towards PEOPLE, he just pokes fun at their IDEAS. Jesus loved the Pharisees just as much everyone else, but he took BIG exception to their ideas. He went so far as to beat them with a WHIP, and call them a "generation of vipers" (sons of a snake, like a modern day phrase)! I think Brad Stine is on the right track.

[@soseztheleadr]

Brad Stine is TOO FUNNY! ^^

[@johnmckown1267]

Hum, I'm not supposed to sip the soup by raising the bowl to my lips? Explains my lack of second dates.

[@MeHeArTsRaIn]

@woodCHUCH132 You have a good point. Just you can't assume that the silverware system works better. Some people are used to chopsticks and some people are used to silverware. It's just what you grew up with. I mean yeah he's saying his opinion, but not one is "better".

[@PaisleyPlace]

Both my kids were able to eat w/chopsticks by the time they were 2 yrs old. I've been able to eat w/chopsticks since I was about 3yrs old. It's not that difficult. Chinese restaurants do carry spoons b/c they serve soup w/a spoon. It has a wider spoon bell than American cutlery so you get more soup in 1 spoon than an American spoon.

[@ArchSupporter]

Brilliant.

[@BesuniiKChan]

Once I went with some people from church to a Chinese restaurant, and I was the only one to use chopsticks. One lady was like 'oh,I'm probably going to finish eating before you'... Out of everyone there, I finished eating first. Ha. :p

[@TheNumnutRandomness]

I'm Asian and I find this hilarious.

[@GandharaBlogspotCa]

Based on most of the comments here, not many people watched this video to the end.

[@Prior2Popular]

ROCK IT ON BROTHAA!

[@PaisleyPlace]

@mscg4453 If you ever get the hang of using chopsticks, then each time you use them, even if it is a month to a year later, it will come back to you relatively easy. It is a little like riding a bike. Once you learn how, you never truly forget. It may take a few practice runs but you'll get it back in no time.

[@TheDeadman419]

I love using chop sticks when I go to eat at a chinese restaurant. It took me a while but i finally got the hang of it..........Until I get to the rice. Then I'm just picking up grain after grain until I say "Fuck it!" then I dip my face into the bowl and dog style it

[@roy4816]

Actually there is a way to eat rice with chopsticks. You need to hold the bowl upwards towards your mouth and use the chopsticks to push the rice into your mouth. Looks barbaric but its how we do it .

[@TarzaninChrist]

So is what your saying is that your like God and you can see in Brad's heart? Only God knows the heart of man and if they are truly saved. He is a Christian, I have met the man and he has a great love for God. God's spirit professes himself through his people as it does through Brad.

[@张鑫-b9z]

eh......chopsticks are really hard for American....And I think as Chinese restaurants root in American, they need to accommodate Americans' habits. They could provide forks and spoons while supporting chopsticks...And you can choose whatever you like...

[@randi4321]

Chopsticks are so wonderful -- live in Asia for a few years and you'll prefer them over a fork and a spoon.

[@BigMikeLewis]

Shame on Pepperdine for lots of things they do.

[@amanda2324]

@Lemsley12 I do not have a fear of other cultures - actually, I've always wanted to visit China. Furthermore, I don't laugh at other countries/cultures, nor have I EVER stated that mine was better. Where you're getting that I don't know.

[@sHART1780]

@PaisleyPlace and I have absolutely no problem paying taxes for parents who need it to take care of their children. Those parents should get our tax money before 99% of the other things our money goes to. and about the met thing, a woman CAN do anything illegal until she gets caught. My whole point is that the fact that it's illegal shows that it's at least not supported, unlike abortions of every kind which many states obviously support by using our tax money for it.

[@GreyHound0293]

@PaisleyPlace Besides if you have studied biology, which I'm sure you have, then you know much about the 7 characteristics of life. Cells, levels of organization of cells, energy, react to environment, grow, reproduce, adapt. A fetus after 27 weeks has at least 5 out of the 7. Obviously not reproduction but worker ants don't have this function yet are considered living. Why then is an unborn fetus after 27 weeks not considered to be living and therefore an abortion after this point isnt murder?

[@kidfett2692]

i can laugh at my self cause im home schooled and i like a lot of diffrent cultures

[@gingy23ben5]

What are you listening to...everything he has come up with has been pretty creative. You may not think it's funny, but it's creative and very true...when you put truth in jokes and create a way to make it funny, it's funny. I've heard more optimistic things about this guy than pessimistic,say he's not funny, but dont say he isn't creative,that's one thing this guy is

[@sHART1780]

@Godslilredhed they weren't invented recently, but they're modern. he made them sound like they're an ancient tool no one uses anymore by comparing them to things like chariots. chopsticks are just as modern as something like the wheel because billions of people still use them.

[@FreelySoaring]

Pepperdine has solicited me to apply there. I won't be applying. A school of censureship is the last place I wish to attend.

[@phubans]

Yes, and I'm suffering for my faith to see people who are the most unlike Christ out there telling the world that THEY represent Christianity. But when they stand before the master he will say, "I did not know you."

[@PaisleyPlace]

@sHART1780 No RETRACTION NEEDED! The ONLY late-term abortions I've ever even heard of (late term refers to 3rd trimester & generally it's a still birth. I've known several women who have given birth to still born babies. One of my cousins had to go through labor and delivery at 30 weeks even though her child died in vitro. This was NOT CONSIDERED AS A PER SE "ABORTION." It was a still birth just as early natural termination is referred in medical terms as a "spontaneous abortion." vs miscarriage

[@3Blue3Moon3]

Oh crap, there are people on here actually arguing about chopsticks and forks! That's as funny as this XD

[@kayhaven4710]

Its amazing how much air his lungs can hold to keep going and going on his tangents! LOL!

[@PaisleyPlace]

@sHART1780 Oh yeah, and just so you know, what a woman does or does not carry in her body is HER BUSINESS! It's NOT EVERYONE'S BUSINESS! The woman has to be able to afford prenatal care, cost of doc appts,, cost of hospital fees, & then has to be at a point to provide for an infant's needs. If she cannot, then she most certainly HAS THE RIGHT BY LAW TO TERMINATE THE PREGNANCY! That's NOT YOUR RIGHT - IT'S A WOMAN'S RIGHT! Your rights to a woman's body doesn't mean shit!

Think about this: A) Historical Fact - The United States of America is and has been the world's ONLY superpower since 1991. (The USSR's collapse left the USA as the superpower, all other countries are still recovering from the affects of WWII) B) Point A thus limits everyone else to lower than a superpower, yes? Well this would HAVE to include countries that prefer chopsticks. C) Since the USA is superior, then yes, that would actually make other countries primitive in relation. So, he's right.
