the very subtly faked grammar errors and accent combined with the shirt are a masterclass in playing to your audience. it works the crowd so well in the second half it's insane.

It's not just the jokes, the slight body movements, or the way he changes his tone of voice and facial expressions. Everything is so perfect. Truly an amazing performance.

[@juliwomp]

I was noticing those slight voice changes too, they fit so nice with his personality and jokes.

[@allaboutuful]

agree. He’s full of confident

[@Kathy-22]

Agree. He is confident.

[@sonquatsch8585]

[@TheShapingSickness]

The thing that I like about this guy is that he's always pulling stats and getting the most fucked up conclusions 😂😂😂😂

[@mr.nguyen3222]

I concur.

[@zamangwanezikhali1052]

Him being able to spin that "benefit of the doubt" in the moment and then work it into his final punchline?! Talent on another level!! That gave me a proper belly laugh! I hope he finds much success in his career!

[@vawangq2713]

Same that was good 😂

[@jeffyen]

yeah I was thinking about that too. If 1) he made a 'mistake' the first time, he's absolutely brilliant to close it with that punchline, which is just so unbelievably great. If 2) the first mistake was part of the routine, he should get an Emmy for that because I certainly don't believe it could be so smooth lol

[@relativelybasic]

Probably was part of the bit.

[@kangachijay]

So much to appreciate here: 1) His Jokes - mostly facts or what most people think. 2) His change of tone + accent usage. 3) His clever impromptu explanations/comebacks. 4) His skills in connecting all small jokes to a larger point. 5) He doesn’t need to swear to make it funny. 6) His intelligence overall. 7) His nonchalant approach. It feels almost like when you are with a group of friends and we are just randomly talking and joking around. It’s like when the discussions get so hilarious and everyone is laughing. This is what he does so well. Not forced but just simply smart, witty, and with impeccable timing in delivering the joke while adjusting his tone to enhance the joke. You are awesome my friend.

[@alierchiang]

I ran into this and found I loved his jokes so much then realized its because his sense of humor is just like my ex 😂😂😂😂

this man is spitting facts while being funny at the same time 😆

[@samh.9524]

Spitting facts that people don't usually think of in a new and interesting light is in fact humor.

[@picilocarnal]

I wish he would have touched upon the drug addiction that renders people unable to contribute to society and makes them chronically homelessz

[@danni1993]

@@picilocarnal That wouldn't be funny...taking your own life...funny...drug addicts...not so funny.

[@bikingdog]

@@danni1993 Finding humor in a dark subject matter is the human condition, how we cope, how we survive going from being angry and depressed to being sympathetic, how we can listen. And humor can engage someone to an issue that they don't much about. Turning away from the homeless, but thinking they might have had too many bad breaks instead of being lazy can change your outlook. Someone who loves guns might have been attacked previously and felt helpless. There can be depressing issues that may not be appropriate for humor I guess, but to keep swimming in that darkness without seeing the light is sad too.

[@davidchan9979]

@@picilocarnal There are a lot of researchers who do work in social sciences with a focus on just that. Dude's a comedian, and, to my knowledge, he's one that isn't trying to be a philosopher.

[@kittyonmydesk5532]

"Those are the numbers. Do with what you want to." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@NLLHW]

(I'm Chinese American, don't cancel me for saying this) but I feel like he does a good job of leaning into his immigrant accent/cadence to really sell the delivery. I dig it.

[@yusefdaramay2177]

Yeah he definitely got it figured out

[@philkwon81]

i love it. his accent is just a part of who he is. it has nothing to do with his jokes. true fans of any cultural phenomenon appreciate diversity and things that are different. it's the only way to keep growing.

[@shanchan8247]

Sounds like a typical valley accent to me

[@RhythmAddictedState]

Dude, that's probably just his accent, I highly doubt he's "putting an accent on" for the sake of comedy lol

[@niajef]

1. u have to be somebody first before ppl would even care about cancelling u. and 2. what accent? i know he doesnt sound native/white, but he doesnt have an immigrant accent, he has an asian accent, its the accent of those of us who can speak english without an accent. it doesnt sound weird or hard to understand, but u can tell he wasnt born and grew up here with all white friends

[@cc3523]

The way he inserted “benefit of the/a doubt” into his material. I salute that lol

[@LionDowsett]

He is so charismatic. His content is down to earth and creative. His style is confident and screwy. I love it!

[@Kathy-22]

Yes. And he is handsome and funny.

[@berhanesalah9873]

It's rare to see somebody this young in comedy having a set this closed , everything just hits . Hope we get to see him do more of these

[@MeanBeanComedy]

So freaking tight. A tight ten!

[@hxxro9950]

Using statistics is a genius way of coming up with lines/jokes. I remember he tried to make it big and then pandemic hit. Hopefully this is his year! Witnessing a legend in the making

[@Miiia2627]

I appreciate the fact that Jason is out here giving us a hearty laugh w his beautiful and funny routine, while also delivering some very important messages. ❤️ We often forget to give others the benefit of the doubt, and we don’t like to take into consideration what someone might have gone through to end up where they are now. We like to come up with our own theories rather than ask, and don’t like to put ourselves in their shoes. Jason, you’re a beautiful and funny person 🥲 probably my favourite comedian ever now.

I have had serious boughts with that in my past. The thought tries to creep in every once in awhile, but I have become much more at peace, so they are very fleeting. My peace comes from the knowledge that Jesus Christ is my lord and savior, and he was raised from the dead. Read Psalms 22, and Isaiah chapter 52 verse 13 to chapter 53 verse 13, and realize they were written hundreds upto more then a thousand years before the birth of Christ. Science has not disproven God, in fact the more science progresses the more it proves God. I hope this starts you on a journey of research, contemplation and most importantly Peace
