THAT made my day!! Thanks.
Those guys are so funny. Now those are cool Korean guys, lampooning their own culture that way, taking the *beep* out of ajossi pride.
My favorite line was "minus-3"
And their character, their delivery, they truly are stand-up comedians of the first order. Incredible really. Excuse me, I gotta go watch it again.
Anybosy who knows more about those guys, and if they have another act coming, let me know. |

I don't think they're Korean (maybe one of them is). The Korean they speak is all gibberish except for a few words. They do a lot of impersonations of various groups as well. Regardless, I thought it was funny when I first watched it. The other videos they have are kind of boring to me though. |

On their myspace they have a big rant about asians uniting against whitey and refuse to say what their ethnicity is. Their Korean "accent" isn't remotely authentic which tells me their parents either aren't korean or were born in the US. Otherwise I'd imagine they'd be able to reproduce a much more authentic sounding Korean accent with korean pronunciation mistakes. |

That makes sense. Their accent sounds much more like an elongated and stereotypical chinese accent than it does Korean. |

I heard they were actually Vietnamese - that's why they always refer to the "oh so dirty" Vietnamese in their videos. |

I first saw this about a year ago and still think it's one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. My friends and I were quoting "peaceful Korea!" for months after. They have another that is about LA which is nowhere near as funny. |

I've heard that as well. I've also heard that one's Taiwanese and the other is Vietnamese. Funny guys nevertheless. |

It's amazing they aren't Korean, because they really hit the nail on the head. From the accent to the distorted view of history to the ajoeshi get up, it's like they live and breathe Korea. I don't think that vid can ever be topped. |
