When you know he was gonna say the Chinese “whoo “ joke but there were no Chinese people there

[@positivefraud3012]

Jeremy Thomas facts

[@Martnmaceda]

What’s that joke?

[@billionaireno1]

Martn Maceda well he says woo and then says that could pass off as a Chinese name. “Woo”

[@ArtSkyNet]

"any Chinese people in here?" - they go Wwwooou "There goes whole Woo family "

Is it just me or has Russell peters always looked about 40?

[@vaishnavisharma3213]

[@happyfreeky]

No he hasn’t. Look at the oldest videos. He looks to be early 30s, until he started gaining weight and losing hair. And he definitely doesn’t look 40 here

I think that is the point

[@liftcarry123]

wow this 1998 montreal crowd is not nearly diverse enough for his futuristic humour

[@freedoms2010]

+liftcarry123 You know Just For Laughs is largest international comedy festival in the world. So, i think this crowd knows exactly what is funny and what is not. Russell Peters was beginning to be known and his timing was off on many of his jokes. He is so much better today. So you can get your head out of Russell Peters ass and maybe more objective by doing so.

[@14CJProductions]

+freedoms2010 I think the point is that its 1998.

[@liftcarry123]

freedoms2010 International for the comics, not the crowd. There is a huge demographic (ethnic) variance between the crowd pictured here, and Peters' current crowd. Almost, irrelevant of location. Your name should be FreeDUMB2010. Because your dumb

[@alexcrawford5350]

I don’t know if it’s because of his smile but I like his delivery of the line “So I went... to England.” There’s something entertaining about the way he delivered that line!

[@Emily-pv3kg]

almost everyone below is saying that he wasn't that good in this vid but i think he was great

[@MelekDMOM]

Could it be maybe that it's because "everyone below" happened to have seen his more recent works...except you? Lol

[@Emily-pv3kg]

Yeah, now that I've seen some of his more recent work I can say that this one was a bit below standard. But I still enjoyed it, mostly because I can relate

[@ironhyde02]

He improved from the time he made this skit

[@XRenimages]

He sure go better over the years. His core jokes remains the same, but he refined them over the years. His style here also had a hint of Def Jam comedy. This is probably before he started traveling a lot. In his later works, there would be more detail in his stories like shopping district in hong kong and more localized accents. Some comedians keeps coming up with new materials like fashion trends, but Peters' the type that refines his stuff, his core message had always remain the same; We're different, but also very similar.
