[@lekeys03]

Came here for the flagrancy 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 not disappointed!

[@MrRc2]

Yo me too! I was rewatching this part of the episode and I was like I wanna see the whole set! His whole set was about racism dropping the N word! Haha Russell was a killer back then!

[@druchuku7108]

BRUHHHHH 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

I love how he shifts vernacular to his audience. He's a great comedian, one of the best of all time.

[@benjammin7993]

the killer whales joke was hilarious

[@0i0l0o]

he said like 30 times word nigga in 7 mins in front of bunch of black ppl..and they laughed and like it so much (as do I by the way)..if that is not highest form of art idk what it is..

[@Murderface666]

Its called "putting jokes in proper context." But you can only get away with it if you are a skilled comedian, unlike Cramer's on-stage drunk breakdown.

@@groundzero5708 did you not see the part where they said “as I do by the way” 😂 if you lack basic reading skills just say so

[@naynay1139]

Its ungodly peak level master artistry of comedy to pull off what he did. Up there as the greatest ever to master their profession.

[@jaimebasurto1]

Has anyone noticed that in his shows there is people of all origins always? Other comedians have their own audience but not so diverse as this guy.

[@linneausmsiska1184]

Not really even black comedians have diverse audience

[@kevinkotak7581]

​@@linneausmsiska1184black comics have majority black audience. They have a lot of 'black humour' so of course they'll have their audience, same with white comics and their audience. Russell is Indian and ofc he has a lot of Indian audience as well but definitely the most diverse audiences out there

[@mnypwrrspkt]

genius at the end..said nigga ten times and got a standing ovation from a black audience.

[@viperaxemusic]

Came here after Schulz interview

[@prbh8751]

Hands down by far the best one from Russell

[@kg3658]

might be one of the ballsiest comedy sets ever. GOAT level

[@CLAYTONP100]

Actually, Russell has performed for all-black audiences for years now, both in the US and Canada.

[@EugeneNaidoo]

Hello Clayton! :)

[@tedmamphaga900]

And in South Africa 🇿🇦 too

[@MrJSpice777]

@MrWalleye Brotha he ain't racist. Theres a difference between racial jokes and racist jokes. Racial jokes are jokes that aren't hateful, may in fact be endearing. Racist jokes are meant to hurt peoples feelings maliciously. Russell is the kinda comedian that has dealt with racism since he was a kid, & many of his friends dealt with it too, many of them black.

[@RajKarma]

His best friend from childhood is also black

[@ThousanWhite]

He's ballsy, but it's great and not cheap because he actually grew up around Blacks and knows the culture. He knows how far he can go and how to make what could be sensitive material, actually funny. I'm sure 97% of all other White comedians would never attempt doing anything close to this. Louis CK has come close.

[@ipleedafif8033]

His comedy came from his own experience which is the same experiences as the audience. He's a master of knowing his audience. His international tour showed how he worked the crowd around the world. They are worth the watch.

[@dharminderbhambra249]

Only Russell, I could use that word and get away with it 😂😂😂😂😂

[@BeNicePlz]

Russel KILLED IT.

[@howarddavid31]

Russell Peters = an amazing all-world comedian

[@malaychica]

he KILLED it on Def Jam!!!

[@planetruther]

Russel Peters is a comedic genius! Can't wait to see him in December in Los Angeles! :)

[@mikeb8418]

How was the show? 😉

[@planetruther]

@@mikeb8418 He ended up cancelling it

[@mikeb8418]

Man I wanted you to say it was the best show ever ten years later lol. I saw him before, he is great

[@chicotata]

Love the rawness in this era.

[@KardiFan2000]

Is that not what his material is focused on? Racism and stereotypes? You fail to see that Russell actually tries to unite people of different races/cultures...and they did laugh, so he obviously made it work here.

Very talented comic, there's a reason this guy can sell out anywhere in the world

[@Ingeri]

very good.. 5 stars.. he does deserve his fame n hype

[@ashokwwf]

He has his style and never hits below the belt like Andrew Sculls or whatever.

[@shoaibzama8561]

he is great :) love from INdian American

[@Kami3mil]

Bro, that was the most clever way to drop the n-bomb in a comedy set 😂. First, he never uses his own voice to say it. Its always someone else saying it. 2nd, he used sand-n-word as an insult to himself. That set was a Master class. He could have lost the audience at any point but he didn't. He kept it relateable as hell. He built up so much go faith and clevernes that he could just say the n-bomb freely by the end.

[@jaimebasurto1]

Being latino (and being proud of it) Rusell makes comedy on real aspects of all race. I haven't find anything offensive against any race in all his videos until now. I believe that what he does is a description of what we are in our different communities and origins (and which makes us rich as human beings) in a funny way. :)

[@tradingjunction5003]

Indian

[@itsfqndave]

That's because the ethnic/ migrant story is similar in many aspects bro. He gets it because he's one of us. That's why he's so loved and why his comedy is timeless

[@mr_jaimebasurto]

Well said!@@itsfqndave

[@mihawk6780]

[@InfidelCastrophobic]

I think it was a smart move. Job of the comedian is to make the audience laugh. First you have to make the connection to the audience. I think he really embodied the Def Jam style and put his own spin on it.

funniest man alive

[@Shakester71]

This reminded me of a conversation I had many years ago, well before this video came out, so I’m dating myself a bit. For reference, I’m Chinese but grew up in a very diverse area. My best friends growing up were Black, Cuban and white kids. As adults, we’d all find time to go grab some dinner and drinks to catch up. We were sitting there and just reminiscing about people we knew and one of my friends brought up a name that we didn’t know off the bat. Then my Black friend says “oh, that Chinese nigga we use to hoop with”. I never really thought much about it until i watched this.

[@renecomedy]

I like how he didn't feel he had to "act ghetto" to be in a def comedy jam special. He seemed to be in his own skin. Good for him.
