The Impact of FX’s Reservation Dogs: A Native Comedy Roundtable

[@kerstinfontaine7941]

Celebrating a child’s first laugh, is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard. ❤️❤️❤️

[@brandondavis3431]

This could have been longer. I love the representation and hearing different opinions. Not enough people are talking about reservation dogs but it is really that good. I think it’s comparable to Atlanta but for a slightly younger audience. Still love this show and this conversation.

[@deanharstad5404]

It’s a shame that I hadn’t even heard of the show until now. With this video and comments like yours, I am sold. Glad I found this vid.

[@ozzyb6595]

This show kinda gives me Atlanta vibes but with a much younger cast and in Oklahoma with Native Americans. It’s awesome. Some stuff just seems so surreal.

[@cherijoseph7819]

Both cultures have suffered in this so-called land of the free. Both Native Americans, African Americans and Black immigrants can relate to the using a combination of culturally specific and absurdist humor to get by. It is a survival strategy.

@@cherijoseph7819 it's sad but true. He still has a good point! It's hard for me as a minority to relate to a lot of shows. So watching Atlanta and Res Dogs connects with me a lot more. I'm definitely gonna follow the actors and hope they get more roles!

[@choomkatcha]

This was a fantastic conversation. Great video about a great show

[@omiburr]

The first season was great! Jokes landed from Rez to Rez ❤️

[@cuteButKindaDeadlyBreloom]

Can’t get enough of this show

[@cherijoseph7819]

I love this show. Since this country is so segregated I have never met a Native Amerian until I was an adult. But this series shows there are similarities between West Indian/African American humor and Native American humor. Perhaps the Caribs and Tahino blessed the enslaved Africans with some of their humor as they both tried to survive. There was a portrayal of the Deer Lady in an episode Master's of Horror. It is on freetv.

Omg I heard about deer lady way back when I was little! It was flippn amazing to see that come up. Eww and the little people!! Dude got shot by a little people arrows....oh no i shouldn't have spoke of the little ppl after dark!! I'm gonna need to smudge real fast

I love this conversation so much and I love this show. 😀

[@elizabethwilson9398]

One of my faves 😊🤩🤩

[@Marebearsthere]

Some elders in okla are disappointed about curse words. Those are the only complaints I've heard so far. I'm sure knowing this series is the first of its kind on TV makes them too aware of stuff like that. At the end of the day I think everyone is happy that something like this show is finally going on. Aho

Great video!

[@ckchappell]

Can someone help me out with the trust fall scene? What episode is that from? I literally just binged the entire first season a couple days ago and don't remember Jackie doing the trust fall and Willie jack not catching her.

[@tommyhenry753]

hey my Indian name is: "Bug-weh-niiin-nii"= Big Brother of Ojibway=Big Person/Big Foot They have always lived in the bush on our people's outskirts/boondocks. I believe they keep us safe from the Evil spirits/beings who seek to hurt us, human beings. I also believe like as in all walks of life, there are good ones & also bad ones-everything seeks balance. My brother gave me my name because i always look out for my people. He says I also crash through the bush and smell bad,eh!

[@christineabel4011]

Always refer to Bigfoot as grandpa to my daughter

There is no class system in native culture

[@9usuck0]

I'm a native American and I think "native humor" is unnecessary, humor is just humor. There is no reason to create or promote a culture based humor. If you are funny it works. I love rez dogs because it is funny and reminds me of my rez, but none of my friends are native and it is just funny to them. We don't need this label.

[@theverminator4219]

They just can’t help but pander

[@mcdillard4985]

I get what you’re saying, but it’s also true that different cultures have different types of humor. English humor is different than southern American humor, is different than metropolitan humor, is different than Latin American humor, and so on. I don’t think it’s bad to celebrate the differences and shine a light on a previously underrepresented community in entertainment. At least that’s my take on it based on what the panel was saying about the importance of representation.

[@9usuck0]

@@mcdillard4985 We don't typically distinguish between those either, unless we are trying to tell someone we don't like dry humor so we say english. I do not think it matters enough to create a category for us or really anyone for that matter. Just do your things and if it works in wide audiences it will work. We don't have to always think about our differences to make a point. I'm not someone's native friend, I'm just their friend and if I make them laugh it isn't native humor, its humor. I'm not telling them they can't or shouldn't do what they are doing but if they are funny, which the ones in the show are, they will be funny without commercializing their culture. That being said, the warrior spirit is so damn funny. My problem is with your last part "shining a light on a previously underrepresented community in entertainment". There is a large reason for that, there is not a lot of us out here. So not a lot of us try being in entertainment and that's fine. Not every community needs a spot light.

[@mcdillard4985]

@@9usuck0 Point taken. Humor is humor without the need to categorize it. And it def feels more equitable to leave out the labels, so I agree with you there. I guess I would just add that in a perfect world, lack of representation is only the result of “fewer people in those groups existing”, but it can also be the result of creators and producers ignoring certain segments of society as “unpopular”. This show stands on its own regardless of its cultural influences, but someone in power first had to green light the project, and someone from that culture had to believe that it was possible to tell this story and that people would listen. Seeing one show like this can inspire others to believe in the value of their own perspectives, and not just what is “popular” or common. Anyway, respect to you for already acknowledging what others might not have.

[@9usuck0]

@@mcdillard4985 Smoke signals also does already exist. Good will always find a way forward regardless of strife eventually. Plus Natives in my experience have a great amount of luck, we just waste it on small things. I've seen a pretty decent amount of famous natives, but again we don't even represent a good enough percentage in population to get a category (though I count Mexicans as native because most have great amounts of native in them, just Mexico doesn't keep count) but we still have a handful of stars. It isn't repression it is odds. In my opinion.
