"Comedy is DISCOMFORT! It is 'Freedom of Speech' at its finest." - possibly the truest thing I have heard in MONTHS!

[@tylerp1019]

Yeah, I'll remember that one.

[@aduragaratnasun]

@Loush pin this!!

[@AngelusNielson]

Easy comedy is discomfort. You can most certainly be funny without discomfort. It's just harder. And of course, it's "Freedom of speech" But that doesn't take away my right to express that I don't find what you find funny funny. (Not saying I don't find anything here funny or not. I'm talking in general.)

I was teaching English at a university in the KSA back in 2017 when Fluffy came there for the second time. They still had crowd segregation between women and (single) men, but this time it was at a public venue in the middle of Riyadh... no secret. And while the women still wore abayas and hijabs to cover body and hair, face-covering niqabs were a bit less common than during Fluffy's first time there. Less "Assassin's Creed." And Fluffy killed his set too. 😁

A lot fewer cover their faces, though some still do it out of choice from what I know. It's more choice now. The king was liberalizing very slowly and the king before him, but when MBS became the de facto king, he wanted to speed things up much faster.

Everyone says and does stupid things and we all need to learn how to laugh at ourselves a bit more and be ok with occasionally being the joke.

#Mexico. Mexico is also a gorgeous, rich in culture and diverse place where the people there are the warmest, most down to earth, humble and generous people you’ll ever meet. They won’t hesitate to help confused and lost foreigners when they are either lost or confused about something. They will even pay for your bus fares, metro fares whatever. And they welcome anyone with open arms. That’s why Mexican people have a saying; “como Mexico no ay dos” which translates to; “like Mexico there is none”

When I was in Saudi, in the military, in Dhahran, we got "invited" to a birthday party, by a Saudi who worked on the base. We got perms to go, which was rare. An SUV picked us up at the gate (4 of us). WE had to have a special pass. We drove to a "secluded area", out of town, and drove up to this huge, fenced in property. VERY high walls, and two armed guards at the gate. Of course, we were not in uniform. Desert outside. Opened the gat, drove thru, paradise inside! Big Swimming pool, music playing loudly, and a lot of girls. Seems the guy who invited us came from a rich family. In shock, we didn't know how to act. The guy comes up, says hello, and follow him. We went to meet his father, and a few others. We sat down and they brought us expensive beers. Bottom line, we had a great time, and they were very good to us! They really got a big kick out of us being there! It was truly an experience!

I remember hearing about the liquor laws from a middle eastern country I can't remember off hand. The cities were "dry" but you could drink in the desert. That could be the reason why they went into the desert for the show.

I've worked with quite a few families from Saudi Arabia where one or both parents were studying here in the U.S. for an advanced degree. The parents and their children were absolutely delightful. I felt so bad for one family though where the mother was harassed by some construction workers outside their apartment building. I hated that she felt unwelcome and unsafe after that. It was just shameful. When people from other countries come to the U.S. I want them to feel comfortable and welcome. I am so glad Fluffy had a good experience in Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Middle East. I am also glad he addressed his own bias against people from those countries and promotes how positive his experience was. Maybe it will make people think twice about how they see people and that the bad acts of a minority of people are not representative of entire cultures of people.

[@barbaramatthews4735]

I'm a woman Desert Storm veteran. I was in Saudi Arabia. I did a little R&R in Bahrain. I have to be honest, as an American Christian Woman, it took some time to get adjusted to the culture shock. I had to always be accompanied by a man from my unit. I wasn't allowed to eat in a dinning room. They had little rooms to the side with curtains where I ate. I was treated mostly OK. Maybe they were as shocked as I was with a woman that was out with a man who wasn't a relative. I didn't have a lot of conversation. Men didn't come up to me and because Even though I was a woman, I wasn't allowed to speak to Saudi women. It was because I was in the military. May it had to do was I was accompanied by a man who was also military. I don't know. My strangest "adventure " was going to a beaty shop. I spoke with a few women there. Mostly about hair. This beauty shop was hidden and had a door with a small window. The lady inside yelled out in English "women only". She was a Fillipina. A lot of service workers were foreign. It got weird because she felt me up before she let me in. Once inside, it looked like a regular beauty shop. All of the stylist were Filipinas. The customers were Saudi women. There was a wall of hooks to hang their abayas. They were all black. I wondered how they could tell them apart. I was exempt from wearing traditional dress because I was expected to wear a uniform. I don't know what they thought about me. I'm sure that they didn't see very many military women. Most people in there didn't speak lot of English or they were afraid to. They lady cutting my hair did a good job, but she kept saying "boy cut". I'll never forget.

Hearing about Saudi Arabia repeatedly reminds me of my time working in Riyadh and Al Khobar for 12 years. Gabriel Iglesias is so funny and the facts are so true.

[@mayravixx25]

Sadly in the US its extremely common to hear bad things about Saudi Arabia especially after the September 11th attacks, and Fluffy's story on his experience there was pretty eye-opening the first time I saw it. I also expected the people to be like the one's from "Fox News", but hearing what Gabriel had to say helped me realize that not all of them are like that. Honestly if there were no risk of "kidnapping" or "death", I'd absolutely love to experience Saudi Arabia for myself. I don't know if that's changed in the past year or not sadly, but aside from being told negative things about the people, I have been told that the country itself is very beautiful

[@chrisd7047]

After graduating high school, a friend of mine was awarded a scholarship to a private prep school in central Massachusetts. My friend, of Irish and Lithuanian descent, while brilliant, grew up very poor. We got together, with some other friends, about a year after we graduated when I came home on leave. He was telling us about the 3 friends he had made at this school. They were 2 Kuwaitis and a Saudi prince. This was 1992. Americans were *VERY* popular in Kuwait. Jesse told us a lot about these 3 guys, about their love of American culture, their generosity, their sense of humor. One of them bought him a very nice jacket he had admired while window shopping just because. Having been military in the early '90s, I heard a lot of stories about the Middle East. No matter what I heard, though, and I heard at least as much bad about it as good, I was able to keep the stories my friend told me about the friends he had made front and center in my mind. Those types of interactions make it possible for someone else's humanity to be remembered, and to value it when doing so might be difficult.

[@nemamiah7832]

Fun thing to note about the "American" part. It's always quite amusing to watch Americans constantly segregate themselves into groups. "Latinos", "Blacks", " Whites", "Mid-westerners". Whatever. And the moment they step out of the USA, they all - ALL - are perceived as, well... Americans. Americans think they have so many differences, that they are divided in so many groups. Yet the rest of the world sees them. And, well, ngl, it's hard to miss one. Not sure why they can't see that for themselves. Or why they choose not to associate themselves with the term "American" and feel the need to add something else to it. One may be "African American" in the USA, but outside? They are just American.

[@ggstatertots]

I think also a lot of Americans don't have the means to travel a lot since most are living paycheck to paycheck. They see what's around them racially and don't leave that bubble. Many that do travel tend to stay domestic since it is a huge country.

[@TriXJester]

1. Most Americans can never travel outside the country, barely any can even make it to Mexico or Canada for travel and we're connected to them. 2. America has had a very loaded history of segregation and not just between different races but also among the different white immigrants as well. Most of our cities with long history of immigration will have entire neighborhoods that are one ethnicity or religious group, theres a reason we have things like China Town, Little Italy, Amish Country, or Eight Street. Immigrants tend to group into areas with people from the same background. Then you have the extreme segregation that people of color have faced for hundreds of years in this country and still face today. Such as the Natives living on reservations. You have to realize that when you take people from all over the world and smash them into one country that youre going to have issues, and those issues that America has had are directly related to being a melting pot society. Someone from New York is not going to have the same views that someone from Milwaukee is going to have, an immigrant in Miami is not going to experience the same lifestyle that an immigrant from San Francisco will have. Americans divide themselves into groups because our country is the size of basically all of Europe and we are all different groups of people. Try to tell me that someone from Spain is going to be the same kind of person that someone from Finland is and I will call bullshit. Distance creates differences.

[@skittles1662]

We do see that- we all understand that we're all Americans. But we're also very mixed. For example, central and south America teach in our schools that America is one continent- not two. Also- what do you mean "constantly segregate themselves" - I'm latina cause I come from latin America. Why would I say that Im American if I'm still IN America. Everyone understands that. Thats like someone saying "Im from the middle east" while still being IN the middle east. Like brother that isn't how it works- are you Palestinian or Arabic? Just because they call themselves anything other then "Middle eastern" doesn't mean they are segregating themselves. Thats like saying that Europe segrates themselves into groups of "Irish", "French", or "England". Side note: The reason African Americans, or black people, call themselves that is: Latin people come in all shades of the rainbow. A black person can easily be mistaken for being from Brazil, Puerto Rico, Cuban, Dominican, Caribbean, Jamaica etc. All of which is in America. In other words, Africans/black people can be often mistaken for afro latinos. Then you have the very white latinos- they have ginger hair and blue eyes, or blonde hair and green/grey eyes. Simple: Latinos/hispanics are really mixed. Heck- Brazil has made a whole new race called the Prado people who are too white to be black and too black to be white which is why the stereotype of Brazilians having very distinct features and having a "golden tan" is sorta true. A good example of "white" latinos is: Canelo Alvarez. Mexico is mixed with many races. Canelo Alvarez, the famous Mexican boxer, has ginger hair because his great Grandpa is Irish. (Remember the Mexico and USA war for Texas? Ireland was Mexico's allies and fought side by side with them so it isnt hard to belive that some Mexicans can also be mixed with Irish) (And let's not start with asian latinos- I think you understand by now that latinos/hispanics are very mixed at this point. Heck, as a latina, if someone with a french accents, or Chinese accent tells me their latino, I would believe him. Cause at this point- what AREN'T we mixed with. Why bust my head trying to make heads or tails of it) P.P.S. Natives aren't just in Canada and USA. Natives are also in Central and South America- so again, we are very much aware that we are all Americans. Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Alaska is also Americans- but they still call themselves different. So no- we are not segregating ourselves.

[@oduinn7948]

I guess for the majority they feel like they're burning inside this melting pot and if they let go of their perceived diversity they'll abandon their selective "cultures" (and this is excluding first/second generation immigrants, I'm talking about people that've been here for generations) even though that "culture" they'd think they'd be giving up _is_ the American culture. We're a country intended to be that for people all around the world to strive for a better life for themselves, their families, and every shade of family your neighbor. _That's_ the culture I wish we wouldn't have abandoned and utterly forgot about or those that wish to see it as "oh but X did Y to Z" instead of helping the ideology survive rather watch the history die. I've never really understood why we're so intent on championing our differences than celebrating our similarities, why so many Americans hate the idea of them being American and refuse to even acknowledge it because they're "not proud" to be an American instead of making being an American something to be proud of being. Alas, we're too divided on which side of the railroad we live on. For a country so big you think we'd look past the menial small shit.

[@Epicmonkeyboy046125]

Mainly cuz America is big, you can drive for a few hours and be in another country in Europe. While you drive 10 hrs straight in Texas and still be in Texas. Also cuz every region honestly has their own culture, the average citizen from California, Texas, Florida, and New York for example are totally different.

[@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay]

You mentioned Dubai and Abu Dhabi briefly...yeah, i had an online Filipino girlfriend who was working out of Abu Dhabi for most of the time we were together. Needless to say though that her experience there was not the same pampered experience men get. She was very rarely allowed to leave the house she was hired to take care of, etc. And really the only time she got to leave the house was when the family she was helping went to visit their grandparents up in Ras Al-Khaimah. Where the grandfather tried to take my girlfriend's hand in marriage. It was quick sickening to this Western mind. Luckily her contract ended and I don't think she ever took another Mid Eastern contract. We broke up not long after her contract ended anyway when she was back in the Philippines because so many little cultural differences snowballed and her understanding of the shear size of the United States was not up to par, let's just put it that way. She thought by just staying in California would be alright with me being in the Midwest, some 1800 to 1900 miles away. I was like "What's the point?" So when that plan of hers became clear, I was like "This relationship is not going where it needs to go to make it worthwhile pursuing beyond this point, so I think it's time to just end it." We argued more than anything, so I was kinda relieved to end it, tbhwy.

I lived in Kuwait for 6 years and yes, they had those kind of police. I think they call them the morality police. People would get in trouble if they kissed in public stuff that. People are sweet but be careful what you do and be respectful of the culture as we should. Alcohol is illegal but they had it and were secretive or they just went to Dubai. I learned a lot and enjoyed my time and got to do a lot of cool things.

[@Nataruma]

It's not so much that there's a designated morality police in Kuwait, but in general the authorities are charged with keeping the publics peace which means upholding indecency laws, any cop can enforce this (especially if it's a slow day on patrol). I think it's stupid, but that's just how it is. Same with customs agents at the airport, there's no special designation they all do the same work and are just general customs agents but if they find liquor or pornographic material in your luggage they're gonna confiscate it regardless because those are the guidelines they follow. Well, mostly follow.

[@mydogsteppedona4431]

We don't have moral police in the gulf. Not anywhere except in Saudi. That's probably just police keeping laws cuz public indecency is against the law.

You know that fluffy and this Arab guy.. They have the similar face .. Because some mexicans have spanish roots and some spanish have Arabian roots..

Even in the US, in Nevada certain things aren't allowed in the city of Las Vegas, but are allowed in the countryside.

Excellent reaction! During my time in the military, we had the privilege of going to Bahrain. Awesome!!!

Thank you for your input. This presentation was funny, informative, and touching.

[@CreativeCreatorCreates]

I’m new to you, but I really love the honorific picture and dedication in the background. You are very funny, refreshing and also informative 💖 tysm!

[@davidlacroix8344]

In Saudi if you compliment someone on a possession they have it’s viewed as if you are asking “ can I have it” and they often times feel obligated to offer it to you out of politeness as it was explained to me by the chief of police in Dhahran.

[@jayrob121]

Love your reactions. I also love your breakdowns of things. keep up the good work.

[@mynameischris378]

9:52 I'd assume that while it was sponsored by royalty, the actual event couldn't be allowed in the city itself. It'd be like if someone in a local government position sponsored and paid for a music festival, but you wouldn't be allowed to have the actual festival inside the main park. It'd have to be somewhat outside of town to avoid noise complains and so on. That's just my assumption, and there's probably more to it that I'm not aware of

[@christianwolf68]

i would love to go to some of the countries for that very reason . new culture,experiences and all in between

[@TheCHIEF092]

Awesome! There is a lesson here, we should never pre-judge people. Great review.

[@shadycnetwork]

I would love to go to Saudi Arabia one day. That's one of the cradles of civilization. Standing on Saudi Arabian ground is like standing on history. I'm not a Muslim but I wish so much that non-muslims were allowed to go to mecca. I've seen documentaries and videos. Mecca is such a beautiful city. I'm a huge history buff. I've tried to look up articles about where it's okay for non-muslims to go in Saudi Arabia but there's not too much information on it.

Great performance by Fluffy and great reaction by you Loush. Thanks for the video.

[@kingmidas2112]

Thank you for your input on these subjects. About the tradition police and the location of the event, I wanted to ask: Do you think its possible the royal family put this event outside the city so as to not give off the idea that these kinds of things are normally acceptable?
